Hi guys, I have a really annoying problem with my bass strings and was hoping someone could give me some advice.

I play in a modern hard rock band, it sounds really heavy and aggressive and I tune my 5 string, like the guitar players, in D flat, like this:

5-Bb
4-Db
3-Ab
2-Db
1-Gb

Hi,

Im looking for a good mic for strings, and it wouldnt hurt if they were good on voice and or guitar also, looking to spend about 100-150 a mic. Thanks

In the next days, I have to record a strings quartet formed of two violins, an alto violin, and a cello.

I'm going to use two condenser mics (Beringher B1, and Tascam LD-74 made by MXL) in a Tascam USL-122. I don't have too many choices with the mics. I also posted on Audio ProGear forum, because I plan to buy two tube preamp for that (VBT-1, or ART V3, or TubePre).

Hi, first post here at recording.org

I am looking to extend my microphone collection, specifically I want to build up a good kit for acoustic strings, winds and percussions (mostly ethnic instruments).

I record mainly acoustic guitar based songs using Logic Pro. i would like to enhance some of my songs with some basic orchestration and have looked at a few options.

I am now thinking of East West Symphonic Orchestra Silver edition as it seems very well priced and also has a decent Steinway Piano within its instrument set.

Ok, so my parents went to Peru for a while and brought me back this beautiful acoustic guitar made by a small Peruvian shop called Effo Guitars. Upon first playing this acoustic, it sounded great and was very easy to play. However, it had ridiculously light gauged strings on it, which are not suitable for the style of music that I play.

Hey all

i was wondering if there are any good VST or sound modules just for strings

i tried the hypercanvas and xv5050 but i was wondering if there any better ones out there

thanks

Aaron

does anyone know if any of the better orchestral sample libraries have plucked strings (cello, especially)? i'm thinking of getting the Garritan personal orchestra (i'd ask in THEIR forums, but they don't allow signups with free email accounts), but if any others have them, let me know, please.

thanks,

Reuben
