The sound is obviously artificial, nevertheless, it very accurately reproduces the amplification of the strings’ sound by the body of the accoustic violin, as well as the players’ movements.
It just seems to dampen the vibrato, but I can be misled by using different strings.
But the main advantage is that I can record regardless of the actual acoustic conditions of the place.
It also allows the player to hear himself as if in the audience, which means real-time feedback on performance.
