Hm, I can't hear anything from that sample, but I'm on my laptop which gets cranky sometimes. Can anyone else hear something from that sample?

Is there any tutorial on string theory? I've got what I think is a pretty similar sound, but there's too much bow action there so it's a really raspy sound at the beginning instead of a synthy-string sound.

Oh sorry, the song was: New Kids on the Block - Summertime

I'm playing around with this VST, but it seems a bit over my head

Actually I was thinking about that (right now I'm using a string soundfont that has detache and legato settings), but the problem is I just can't get enough punch to the beginning if I use legato, but if I use detache the notes don't last long enough for some parts. Any ideas? Thanks for the help so far!

I was listening to the radio, and a song I heard had a pretty nice sample that I'd like to try to emulate. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=25qiZy7vmqY is the song I was thinking it would be some string/orchestral instrument, but with a lot of effects. I'm using fruity loops, and thus far I've used parametric EQ (eliminated a lot of bass) and the compressor, but I'm not sure where to go from there. Edit: Yeah I know the song isn't so great, so if you want to skip to it, the sample starts at 0:22ish.

Does anyone have the kind of synth used in Justin Timberlake's Summer Love? That kind of sound?

tremolo is actually quick bow movement back and forth across the string (very quick bow movement).

This mostly fits into orchestral with set/real percussion. This is WIP, and it's the first mix I've made, and I don't really have much knowledge of the program out of the Reverb effect in the FX menu . I only have Fruity Loops to work with, so if anyone has comments/criticism within that kind of limitation, feel free! http://www.sendspace.com/file/oo7dtq
