I have decided to give updates on my sample library project. Partially because I really don't know what is going to come of it so even if it turns out to be a dead-end project with nothing impressive to show for it, at least I will have a record of the process and the discoveries and mistakes made along the way.
I had a second recording session with Tom Krumm today on violin. I realized after our first session that I needed him to hold out the notes a lot longer. While the recording went well, processing the samples was a nightmare this evening. I decided to pitch correct everything before cutting up the samples and it was only after putting a ton of time into separating out each note that I noticed a frustrating glitch in Cubase's pitch correct system. It did a fine job of correcting the notes themselves but did not shift the ringing of the note after the bow leaves the strings, resulting in an awkward (if subtle) pitch-bend at the end of each note. Super frustrating because it is so time consuming to adjust the pitch manually which is my alternative option.
I will abandon this project for now and resume when I am less exhausted and discouraged.
Best,
Clayton
