Anyone who's familiar with string-playing techniques, can you please check this sample and help me a bit -
http://www.zshare.net/audio/5201875979ee92a4/
It's an unreleased cue from a TV show I've been trying to remake in FL Studio. While I successfully "decoded" the notes, the result is not even close to the original. Can you please tell me -
1) How the "hanging" effect is produced during the solo note at the 0:03 and 0:30 sec mark?
2) What's the technique being used at the 0:22 mark? I tried pizzcato but it doesn't sound accurate.
3) If the low "bass" notes during the ascending section at 0:32 made by low strings?
Thanks in advance! -

Is that real instruments? The accompanying notes below are synthesized horns and i have a feeling that the strings are synthesized too, libraries and all. Plus i don't "get" what effects are you talking about, it's normal string playing.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

D, I don't hear any synthesized instruments... All I hear are some badly recorded horns, strings, and percussion. But I agree with you in that this is all normal playing - nothing out of the ordinary. Perhaps the recording is what's throwing you off, Ravi? -

Ravi, you do realize that pizzicato is a plucking technique, right? From what I can tell, all the notes in your sample are bowed, not plucked. -

The effect I mean is when the one note briefly pauses and a kind of reverb effect was produced with it, I wondered if it can be done with real strings or is synthesized. As far as I know it is a real (albeit small) section of instruments playing, dunno if there were synths used.
Thanks anyway! -

Well, i am not home and i heard it on a poor 2.1 system here but the horns sound awful thus i assumed they were fake.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Yeah, that's why it wasn't sounding accurate.
Thanks telling about the horns! I wonder how it will sound if played and orchestrated by a proper orchestra.. -

Sounds to me like either a tuba, cello, or double bass. If it were tuba it would have to be playing rather high, but there's something about the attack of the notes that makes me wonder if this could be the case. -

Actually they sound awful because it's a rip from a DVD joined together from many SFX-less portions (the same cue plays many times) and then "remastered" by me to sound a bit better. I think I did a bad job -

Ah, OK. -

I think I got what was wrong; I was trying to use a low cello instead of horns and that's why it screwed up.
Thanks a lot for the help, guys! -

It's called Tremolo or Tremolando, basically a single note is played in rapid succession, a very common used technique. -

Can someone tell me what kind of string technique Horner used to make those violins "shriek" in the track "Grand Slam Demons" of We're Back - A Dinosaur's Story? I always found that sound utterly fascinating and it almost sounds like Horner broke through several violins just to record that one track! That sound can't be good for an instrument!''The mandate, as well as the benefit, of responsibility is the ability to tell when one can afford to be irresponsible.'' - Me -

Well it sounds like really loud whistling, that's air coming out very, very loud. That or it is coupled with another instrument or part of a wind instrument (the embouchure e.g.) played in such a way that only the wind passing through sound is produced.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Interesting fact is that the average dude would firstly (and primarily) think of these strings instead. You're obviously too smart, too geeky or too disturbedLove Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -
