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.

Hi Neville,

Does GPO 4 work inside Dimension like the Pocket Orchestra?
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.

Steve W

Where do you get GPO 4? How accessible is it? Can you load the VST files of GPO 4 on a drive other than your system drive? I have a separate drive 
dedicated to my VSTs.  Dimension Pro and all else live there.

Well, that is very subjective and depends on the kind of material you are
working with and how predominant they will be in the mix. I usually boost 
around 6khz about 5 or 6db to get that sparkle if I want that up front
70's
disco string section sound.  If you are just doing pads, they probably
will
be ok flat. That being said, I don't use the dimension strings much since 


I

have gpo 4 which is the bomb as they say.
