Sam: how do you create the release samples? Is there some (semi)automated way of doing it or do you have to actually sit around and cut/paste the tail portion of x amount of wave files?
It can be automated if you're really smart about it (e.g. reaper users), but otherwise, it's mostly copy and paste (Audition has a nice 'save selection as' function for when I'm doing it by hand). For some instruments, they have to be recorded separately (e.g. guitar, piano), but for others, the mechanism coming back up works well (e.g. harpsichord).
For sustaining instrument, it works well with wet samples- just save from where it starts to fade out (starting at a zero crossing) to the end and use that as a release. Really adds a lot of realism to wet sustains!
