It is also worth noting that the change in tone is consistent from violin through viola through to the cello however, the switch to bass is a big change and care needs to be taken when trying to continue lines from the cello to the bass. The violin produces only a little sustain in the low register and none from the middle up. The bass has the most presence and produces a thick tone with quite a bit of sustain.
The general rule is that the longer and thicker the string is, the louder and fuller the sound will be. I also think some of the libraries have been compressed, as there is a lot more sustain to their sound than there is in real life.Įach instrument in the string family has a different sound when it comes to playing pizz, and depending on the tessitura and string involved can achieve a different range of sounds as well. The sound of a real section playing pizzicato often has a looseness in the timing, not at all like the ‘perfect take’ samples. Many a person has done a mockup with forte pizz balanced against arco strings and brass, and when we get to the studio they wonder why it sounds so different. The loudest pizzicato is really only equivalent to a mezzo forte with the bow. Pizzicato is the technique where the player plucks the string with their finger. They are In touch with, Tremolo, and Pizzicato. There are three techniques where real world sounds and possibilities are easily misrepresented in the sampled world.
