Sharon,
    Yes, that's polyvoicing. Using two very similar voices together to produce 
a single voice (still on two tracks) that sounds better. Still sounds like just 
a string section, but you're combining the attack and decay attributes. (For 
strings, I like to add a soft flute sound, just to get a nice attack.)

  One of you mentioned the idea of poly voicing.  Is that where you do what I 
mentioned earlier, using a different staccato strings for quick action along 
with the slower strings?  I'm actually using "string section," not "slow 
strings."  I think I'll go to work on correcting the time offset.

  thanks all!
