I wouldn't say classical- that term for me means music composed, or made to sound as if had been composed in the 18th and 19th centuries. Your's definitely sound 'New Age' to me.As for sound, I would recommend polishing off the MIDI-ness of them. Specifically, attention to dynamics and phrasing. For example. MIDI strings, in particular have a definite 'attack' on every note, intentional or not. What I try to do is put a layer on top of MIDI strings, like a smooth analog synth string with a slow attack, played slightly ahead of (before) the MIDI strings. Not only will this lessen the bite, but will add richness to the sound overall.Keep it up!Dr.Ehttp://www.broadjam.com/DoctorEternal

Thanks for the feedback Dr Eternal, Those are great suggestions that I will try out with my strings. New Age , other people have also said it sounded like that style. I'm ok with that.Donny
