    Is there any way to tell which instrument is using computer software + keyboard to generate which is the real instrument?

    such as the flute in On Windy Meadows or Violin in Unspoken... I think they are real but not sure...

    nowadays the software pack is so powerful, I can't really tell. I think unless you play that instrument otherwise it's hard to tell...

    It's really hard for me to explain D: so you'll have to bear with me a bit haha

    A lot of software I know of doesn't put the tremolo at the end of a long note, or if it does it's at exactly the same place in the note each time, where as if you're playing violin for example you can pop the tremolo anywhere along the note and no two notes will sound exactly the same.
    If you're playing an actual violin you can adjust the sound of each note so much but software is so limited, like the strength of each note will feel roughly the same.
    There's a certain 'synthetic' sound to software engineered sounds, I can't put my finger on it or explain it very well but even though the software is great (and getting better!), generating a natural sound is something that is not easily done ><.

    I hope this made some sense to you!

    Act in such a way that you treat humanity, whether in your own person or in the person of another, always at the same time as an end and never simply as a means

    For some weird reason, I can hear the flute at On Windy Meadows has weird notes like not from same source. I donno like not pure lips shaking maybe tongue involved...
    At Unspoken, there are some long note and in the end the note varied up and down a little, I think that's what you call tremolo up there... that's why I think it might be real...

    however, I'm more afraid there is one button like the DJ's turning disc thing that they can do that minor note shifting to create the like-real-instrument effects...

    I don't play flute or violin by the way... XD Just curious.
    but easy part like Fallen Angel's vocal "ahhh-ahhh~~" part
    or some other music sounds like lots strings instrument played together. I can tell these are from computer software...

    hmm hopes it is XD
