Just out of curiosity, what do you mean with "tape strings"? Samples of strings recorded on tape?

indeed the tape strings added one helluva thinkness to them, and as for the timpani, dead on, it set it off, thank you sir, and good to know i was on the right track with the strings, i thought maybe i was overdoing it with what i was stacking

The sad thing is though, if you apply every technique you learned for stacking in Reason, and stack the strings on, say, a Motif instead, it sounds 100 times fatter. I didn't believe it, until I tried.

Frustrating!
