Hi Alexander,
as promised a new version. Replaced almost all VSL sections, except brass. I hope you'll like this one better!

Thank you for sharing your update, Erik. I will comment the following: Unfortunately there is still a lot to do in my opinion.I could copy paste my first statement from 2 pages before just here to let you know that either you didn´t apply my suggestions for that run or you did, but you managed not to get it right. Therefore I say it again: That run you did there lacks of dynamics, definition and slurred passing notes in the strings. Again: This run is pretty difficult to get it right. Therefore I give you a more insight into how I did it. you don´t need to follow that, but I want to help and show my procedure here:
HOW TO CREATE A RUN like in That FIGARO Track
I uploaded this here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/ff2sdiveb1jgqk1/How to create a run like Mozarts Figaro Intro!.mp3?dl=0
1. Cellos and Doublebass playing in octaves the run. If you have a Cello / DB recorded patch in octaves available, use that because the blend of both instruments and weight in the room is hard to get right with single patches (though possible) but doesn´t sound that good. USE Velocities and / or the modwheel to inject a bit life and dynamics into the run. Don´t use a Legato Patch for that, use a short accented marcato or something with a scripted legato. Or even A short articulation patch with scripted legato.
2. Next Violins: Layer slurred run patches with a solo Violin, see this example. make them a bit uneven, RIDE Both single patches with different dynamics, don´t copy paste.
3. Layer annother additional Violin patch with more accents into it. This here is a mix of Shorts layered on top of legato!
4. The Violas are the GLUE from Cellos to Violins. Let them make the Slurred prominent Bee sound in the mid register. Use slurred run patches or loose spiccatos or something that sound close to that.
5. Yeah, that sounds shit alone but makes sense. Bassoon Shorts..but listen to No. 6
6. Mushy Legato Bassoon
7. Defined Legato Basson
8. ALL TOGETHER, I mean the Bassoons!
9. LEVEL RIGHT!! Bassoons + CELLOS / DB. Hear the blend? Thats the correct blend in dynamics,basoons are there, but not too loud.
10. Level Right!! Bassoon according to Violins / Vloas
11. All together.
I don´t want to disencourage you, but this is the process which is imo mandatory to pull of that run. You see there is a lot going on and I hope that helps you. Did you use this time a live reference for your update? YOU NEED TO PUT MUCH MORE WORK INTO THAT...TIME..WORK..
Layering, USING DYNAMICS,
listening to references...
