Using the Vienna MIR Pro 3D settings (MIR2) discussed in the previous article [1], I re-examined the entire performance. [1] Creating a String Quartet with Vienna MIR Pro 3D: Compared to MIR1, the presence of each of the four strings has become much clearer, and the interplay and tension between them can now be expressed much more effectively...
