I've been doing a little research trying to figure out how to make diddles sound smoother and getting a more accurate playback in general. I have the performance style set to meccanico. I've been fooling around with the live velocities and durations in the properties menu, but I just can't get it to sound right. Does anyone have a setting that they prefer? Should I just keep fooling around with it?

As far as playback; I love the professional quality of all of the stuff on tapspace. It's sick. Are those final touches done with another program? Can I do that through sibelius? If another program, any suggestions?

Thanks in advance for any help. I absolutely love writing with VDL, I just need to learn more about it.

I'm running sibelius 6 with VDL 2.5.
