I'll look into the Motif. Thanks for the info Smile

The only problem is that if I like it, I can't afford it. I'll have to wait to december, atleast. Sad

And I'm Sorry seraph! I didn't mean to hijack your thread.

More hijacking coming up..

If you have a sampler you could use that one.. in order to add soome stringish thickening? A nice tool is also the good old mellotron .. you can use the excellent G-Media M-Tron. If you double some voices with that one.. and possible also add some filtering and whatnot .. some reverb too.. you can seriously thicken the strings. However, the mellotron/novatron is a weird animal and it can be hard to see what this is about if you have never used the original hardware box. A mellotron is not an a sampler and it behaves a bit odd, It can be very useful. Keep in mind that a mellotron with some string instrument tapes really does not emulate anything but a mellotron with some string instrument tapes.

Noise? Nope.. no noise.. but you never know about dudes like that. He might have mistaken some of the actual music for noise. Shocked

Guitar roll? Not a spring roll?

I hear a windlike sound in Demo4 that the producer may be speaking of. I used to do commercial music years. You have to be very careful when you listen to producers. If they something like "too much noise", you must make sure you take the time to understand what exactly they mean. Ask them questions to clairify, play back the music and ask them to indicate exactly what sound they hear that is objectionable.

One thing to realize about producers and directors - sometimes they feel compelled to say something - to always have an opinion or suggestion. Much of the time they don't remember what they said 10 minutes later. This isn't always the case, but it is quite often that way.

If you are going to be in the commercial sound and music business, you have to master dealing with people in this capacity. Just remember that most people feel as insecure about themselves as you do, probably moreso. Many times producers just want to be acknowledged and respected. Something like, "Thanks for the excellent feedback, I respect your opinion. I'll certainly keep that in mind as I continue my work. Do you think I should redo this piece?", often does the trick. Usually you'll hear, "Oh, no, no need to redo it, it'll work out."

Like I said, I did this kind of work for about 8 years, then got into engineering.
