You should try a clarinet in there too... ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew English (paper music) To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 3:25 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Poly Voicing, Clarification 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.) -Andy ----- Original Message ----- From: Sharon Hooley To: Cake Talking List Sent: Monday, March 09, 2009 4:54 AM Subject: [ddots-l] Poly Voicing, Clarification 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! Sharon
