Sorry, I missed your previous comment, so I will answer it here. There are two ways to avoid phasing effects in SynthV, one is to shift the timing of the pronunciation, the other is to change the pitch or apply a slight vibrato to the extent that it is hard to notice. In Danny Boy's video, several of the chorus parts are slightly vibrato, plus a slight shift in the timing of the pronunciation. If you zoom in on the screen and look at the notes in the piano roll, you will see that there are a few parts that are off by a few millimeters. No external plug-ins are used. I hope this helps.

@124aska wonderful information, thank you!

Sorry for the confusion, it is not SWAM Violin but Ample Sound China Erhu.

Thank you for your comments. >Does importing large MIDI scores into SWAM sound feasible or would adding CC commands be a brutal undertaking for dozens of instruments per song? The answer to both questions is “Yes”. However, importing MIDI into SWAM should preferably be done on a DAW. Compared to other sampled instruments, SWAM instruments require more precise writing of the CCs, or else the expression will be more musically expressionless. If you want to achieve a moderate result without much CC, sampled instruments will probably give you a better result. On the other hand, if you want to be particular about musical expression, SWAM instruments are probably better suited for you. SWAM instruments are originally suited for real-time recording of MIDI using breath controllers, etc., and wind players, for example, can easily create appropriate musical expressions. There are probably very few people like me who handwrite all their CCs. As you probably know, hand-writing CCs for SWAM is very time consuming. I think you should consider the labor and effort involved and decide whether sampled instruments or SWAM instuments are better suited for you. Also, the more instruments in SWAM, the higher the CPU load, so please consider the PC specifications. I hope this helps.

@@124aska, your reply was very helpful, yes, thank you for your detail and quickness! Doing as much as possible in Sibelius is vastly preferable since musicians will perform my arrangements at live shows and the notation has to be gig ready. Importing MIDI from Sibelius into Pro Tools and trying to make VSTs interpret everything as well as they sounded in the notation software has always been disappointing. Endless hours of modifying MIDI is like having to write entire arrangements again from scratch in a different language. I've wondered if it might be easier to add CC information to the sheet music in Sibelius so that by the time Pro Tools receives those MIDI files, a VST will better know what to do with it. My familiarity with MIDI in a DAW is extensive, but I have yet to make much effort to add commands in just the notation. SWAM and VHorns are the two libraries vying to be my next horn libraries. I've had the old pre-SWAM horn instruments for over a decade but was never able to tweak satisfactory realism from them. The realism of your tenor work here makes me lean toward SWAM, but from what I've read, VHorns sounds impressive with far less editing. Glad to see your work is inspiring many online. Your experience is valuable to many of us, please keep at it!

Thank you! I used CSSS.

SWAM Violin's CC64 is also a function of Detache (bow change). Here I used CC64 for bow change.

Thank you! this is one channel, the plugin with the IR loaded was inserted into the SWAM Violin track with the Wet 100% setting.

@@124aska how did you mute the SWAM violin. I've tried this on Reaper, and I can't seem to have just the IR sound.

@@alexanderyaroslavich2703 Sorry, I have never used Reaper so I can't answer your question. In a typical DAW, just setting up the previous comment will only output the sound through the IR, no need to set up mute. Or some plugins that load IR may have a setting that outputs the original sound along with Wet, so muting that may solve your problem. Sorry I cannot be of more help.

I am not very good at English, so your advice is very helpful. Thank you very much!

Thank you, the microphone positions are just turned on for Spot 1, Spot 2, and Main, and the Pan and Volume values for each microphone are defaults.

@@124aska Thank you!

Thank you for your comment. If you are referring to Attack Control, I am using “Vel. Hard” mode.

@@124aska Yes, this is what I mean :)

@@124aska Yeah, I've listened to this a few times now. This is great :) When I work with these saxes, I have been using an expression curve to lower any high expression peaks (I use CC2), but here you seem the top range of expression without making it too honky goose sounding. I take it this from using velocity that sits around 72? It looks like you are using a steady velocity most of the time, and the "Vel. Hard" mode I think uses mostly velocity to calculate attack envelope amount above the baseline expression.

Thank you, the parameters shown in the piano roll are as follows from top to bottom. CC1: Expression (written "Modulation") CC2: Vibrato Depth (written "Breath") CC3: Flutter Pitch Bend I hope this helps.
