Is this a good way of setting up the tracks when layering strings from different libraries? In my case from Spitfire and 8Dio. I use key switches but I have legato tracks because the libraries also separate this (Spitfire Chamber Strings have the legato performance patches and the solo strings have a separate legato patch)
Vln 1:
Legatos:
1. Spitfire Chamber Strings - Legato
2. 8Dio Adagio Violins - Legato
3. 8Dio Solo Violin - legato
Shorts and other:
4. SCS - All Articulations
5. Albion One - All articulations
6. Spitfire Solo Strings - Short articulations
Vln 2:
Legatos:
7. Spitfire Chamber Strings - Legato
8. 8Dio Adagio Violins - Legato
9. Spitfire Solo Strings - legato
Shorts and other:
10. SCS - All Articulations
11. Albion One - All articulations
12. SSS - Short articulations
Viola:
Legatos:
13. Spitfire Chamber Strings - Legato
14. Albion One - Longs
15. Spitfire Solo Strings - legato
Shorts and other:
16. SCS - All Articulations
17. Albion One - All articulations
18. SSS - Short articulations
Cello:
Legatos:
19. Spitfire Chamber Strings - Legato
20. Albion One - Longs
21. Spitfire Solo Strings - legato
Shorts and other:
22. SCS - All Articulations
23. Albion One - All articulations
24. SSS - Short articulations
Double Bass:
Legatos:
25. Spitfire Chamber Strings - Legato
26. Albion One - Longs
Shorts and other:
27. SCS - All Articulations
28. Albion One - All articulations
So 28 instances in Kontakt and 28 midi tracks in Logic.
I’ve been thinking so much about how to do this reasonable and effective. Especially since it means many instances of Albion One to make this work (need to pan each section etcetera). Any ideas? Is this unnecessary complicated?
In addition to this, I have a VEP instance with the Chamber Strings alone, for projects where I don't want the symphonic sound. So I have the Chamber Strings twice in the template so I don't have to change volumes etcetera.
