• Warm legato strings	SD Violins are exceptionally beautiful sampled strings. They're legato, made for slower movements. They're unmatched for idyllic, peaceful movie scenes or ethereal backgrounds for song-sweetening. They warm up scoring and song-production sessions like a real string section. They mix beautifully with any string library.
• Unique Sampling Techniques	The violin is a beautiful, tricky instrument to sample. Bowed notes played on the "G" string are rich and warm. The "D" and "A" and "E" strings up to about C5 (2 octaves above middle C) are hard to sample without getting scratchy and unpleasant. I have discovered, like Edison, after about the 2,000th try, a method of sampling violins in these very registers that works! By using a combination of muted and unmuted violins, with special mic placements and post-producion techniques, I have succeeded in capturing warm, beautiful string samples in that hard-to-record range.

Listen to Demo 1. This is a one-pass creation with only the barest editing. Reverb consists of an Echo and Large Hall setting. Nothing else. I did it this way to show you how playable these strings are right out of the box. The beautiul volume swells in the sequence are not programmed in! They're part of the unique concept of sampling used in creating these sounds. The strings in Demo 3 are StringDoubler and a solo violin from Garritan Personal Orchestra - that's it!

If you like the demos, buy the strings! Download now for only $19.95 or buy the CD. Shipping is via Priority Mail and Global Priority Mail outside the U.S. StringDoubler usually ships the same day the order is received.

This is the SD Violins edition, which consists of three-and-a-half octaves of beautiful arco violin samples. I've added a few choice cello and bass samples to enable ensemble performance throughout the whole orchestral string range. The samples are fully licensed.

Thanks,
