Beautiful sounding strings! I love the automated reverb trick of a long reverb tail in the breaks to make it sound in a bigger space but not clutter the mix during passages.
If you're going to use the Ampex master tape emulator but you don't want to severely curtail the high frequencies, can I suggest you DON'T set the tape speed to its lowest setting? 3 3/4ips (inches per second) is only for the roughest of domestic emulations. At least 15 ips - or better still 30ips - would give a more professional result. Keep up the otherwise good work!
You’re quite right. I just flung on a preset with tired ears, and being a composer, not mix engineer, I didn’t realise the error until re-listening. Thanks for watching!
I’ll be honest and say I haven’t had the time to really explore the full capabilities of the GS. I just know that the longs/sustains are good and worked for this project. I will so some exploring soon and might post a video of it!
I hear digital artifacts, sounds wayyy too perfect too aka 0 variation everything is quantized which doesnt sound realistic, performance samples and glass dont blend well together at all in the example youve shown, where the solo part comes in, the solo instrument sound extremely digital with 0 attack and a different volume and sounds like its in a different room. I cant listen to this and pretend it sounds real, please fix some of these things. Also some parts dont sound quantized enough with the rest of it being super quantized and sounds off. Everything needs to be in a few cents of each other, I can tell theres 0 analog in that chain at all, if there is any its inaudible. The reverbs per brand of vst sound different. Id stick to just performance samples when they come out with the full Vista II and completely ditch one of those other 2 if not both. Performance samples and strezov sampling are the 2 id go for. I personally hate CS and that glass vst sounds unrealistic to my ears and reminds me of spitfire stuff, has that fantasy air at the high end.
Thanks for your feedback. This work was all written very quickly, so I can’t pretend that it’s perfect. I’m a composer, not mix engineer, so there will always be issues with the mix, though I’m trying my best - thanks for watching!

@@TomHarroldMusic You're on the right side of the tracks. Me? I'm an ex-engineer - and slowly decomposing! :)
@@planetqwerty Aha! Thanks for watching :)
Does glass strings behaves in a way you want in terms of direction of movement of notes? I am interested to know. Thanks
