So I have a solo part for a violin running through Session Strings Pro in my DAW; however, the fast parts of it going up and down the scale sounds very short and choppy. How can I reproduce something close to a bow moving up and down and not be left with something that sounds like the bow is just moving in one direction for these parts?

 

I tried adjusting the attack, but I don't believe that really does enough for it.

I'd also love to know the awnser to your question, as much as i agree that the best way to get good viola sounds is from a violist. This is pretty much what makes orchestral samples so frustrating at times. Getting a violist to play your piece can be tricky and/or expensive.

Perhaps if it's not worth the trouble then it's not worth a listen.

It IS worth a listen, still very very inconvenient... Unless you know a friend who plays it.

 

I do know a violist. I'm writing something for him. You'll have to meet your own friends and professional contacts. That's part of being a professional.
