So, it's been about a month since you bought it and I'm really curious to hear what you think of the Flutes.
I stopped with SWAM Flutes at v.2 because the middle register (around B-C-D4) had this really boomy and nasal tone that I just couldn't get rid of, as if they shoved the microphone right into the tube itself recording the attack samples. I love SWAM double reeds and use them exclusively.
How do you find them flutes?
I haven't done anything with the flutes. I've been sifting through SWAM All In and realize there aren't just the 33 instruments. There are
variations of many of them, so it's a suprisingly deep inventory.
SWAM ain't cheap, but you get a LOT to work with.
Been thrashing about with the Strings, mostly. And the Saxophones are addictive, even without breath control (yet) so I've been staying away from those. Ha. I didn't expect to buy the SWAM AIB until Black Friday in November, but a VI-C user popped up looking to sell at an excellent price, so I had to jump 'NOW.' I'm working a lot lately, so not much time to get lost in SWAM (sounds like a drowning...).
When I find time, I will see if I notice the tonal issue you describe.
Is there one particular flute? I'm using v.3 so whatever I do might not help you. If I
do find the issue you describe, I might try
parametric EQ (virtual effect in Studio One DAW) or
multi-band compression set for that particular set of frequencies. Or a combination of both, and maybe a few other effects, if I think they might help. Assuming you're not
purely about playing live, have you tried editing the
expression envelope in your DAW midi track? Or perhaps adjusting some other SWAM articulation? (Yeah, I'm new at this). My thought is that reducing the emphasis (by limiting the Expression curve) might lessen the offending tone.
