Real strings add emotion to a music track - how's it done?
1] Send me your track - email an mp3 or midi, or post a CD.
2] I create and sequence a string arrangement, and supply a demo.
3] Once we've agreed the string lines, we sort out a budget.
4] Track laying can be done at your studio or the realstrings facility.
5] I supply audio files of the arrangement in the format of your choice.
What do strings do well?
A string section has the sound of flesh and blood; many people making big effort. It handles dynamics well and it has many uses in an arrangement because of the versatility and expressive qualities of string instruments.
