Hi Robbert,

Thanks for your compliments and observation. And yes, it felt nice to shout 'Hey you...etc. The only problem with that was the recording immediately jumped to super red and I faced distortion!
And with those staccato strings you mean the Arabic loop? Say straight from the beginning of the song? That is a loop I found in the loopsection of BiaB. But I also used staccato strings from Output, but played that on my keyboard.
And yes, all those noises ('the stew') together gave me some problems mixing them properly. But all went well afterwards.

Hans
