Hello all. I wanted to ask a question if there are any composers /orchestrators here. I can't find an orchestration forum where I could ask.. anyway: I have a cue for strings where the first half is pp muted (con sordino) and then they turn to f normal (senza sord.). This cannot be performed live since there is no time at all for the strings to remove their mutes. i wanted to ask this: if I use "sul tasto" instead of con sordino, would it be almost the same sound? I know what each technique does (I have orchestration books), but i wonder if they resemble in the sound somehow. I have listened to passages for both techniques but i can't really decide. the other alternative of course is for the cue to be recorded in 2 takes..
