Thanks for the comments.

Simon,
The entire thing was recorded in real-time. (No quantizing) The MP-3 conversion really deminished the quality of the string section. On the keyboard the custom slow cello, and slow violin I used had a clean bow sound. Also the volume level actually varied quite a bit with the cello and violin. The reason it sounds that way in the MP-3 is because I dropped the piano track to make the strings stand out more because I was wanting opinions on that.

Again thanks for the comments
