Thank you guys
you are very, very kind, thank you.

Alyn: yes, I played the violin solo part but it's actually midi. I think it sounds very realistic (although, I know the realism could be improved a little bit in a few notes here and there, I'm not 100% satisfied, I just didn't have to time to fix it completely).
I used a library called Bohemian Violin by VirHarmonic. It's an incredibly good solo violin library, not only extremely realistic, but also very playable, meaning that you don't need to tweak your midi part too much to make it sound good. Of course some tweaking is almost always needed, but this library is designed to be realistic "as is", and I think it does deliver that 90% of the times. To me, it does require some time to learn "how to play it", it's very sensitive to velocity, but once you learn you get nice realistic violin parts (especially slow, melodic parts) very quickly.
It is quite expensive though ... for my wallet at least :-)
They also have a nice cello library based on the same sampling techinque, but I haven't bought it yet. I think I will, eventually.
Thanks again
Jo
