Oh don't worry I am not offended at all It is an original arrangement of a hymn. Its just me singing and the strings are padding in the background. The cords are very lush and full. I think I might give them a little high end for some sparkle and a little low end for some shine. I wish I could up load them to my website so you could check it out, but my website does not allow me to do that kind of thing its not really that accessible. Oh I just bought Garritan last night. I'll be checking it out today.

I'm currently adding the last few softsynths to my collection before getting down to serious work. Neville I apologise if the next bit of my text sounds condescending as I don't know anything about your musical knowledge. Regarding Your strings EQ, is it an original track you are working on? Sometimes strings may not need EQ but subtle arrangement changes such as, The chord of C E G may sound to close together when recording Strings, simply because it's a 1st 3rd and 5th so rather than have the E as a third, play the E above making it a 10th. This creates the space that hopefully will give the strings that sparkle. Hope this helps.
