I'd add a progressively building vibrato, even on the quiet notes.

In my last song, I started out using SWAM solo strings, but ended up changing to SampleModeling solo strings instead. It wasn't a huge difference, but it was enough.

SWAM strings are great to play, and launch right away. But you've got to be careful with them, because they'll slip into synthy sounding if you're not careful.

But that's just my opinion. wink

David, I agree completely. I did have some vibrato but apparently not enough. I'm glad I got these on sale and didn't pay the full price. I don't think they are worth the full price: I may change my mind about this as I get more familiar with the art of playing a violin.

I will say thus far these are no way near the realism of the sax and trumpet packages I purchased from Swam.

Whenever I get something stuck in the back of my throat, I dislodge it by drinking a beer.
It's called the Heineken Maneuver.
