First time making full use of Adagio!

Specific things:
1. First things first. Did you like it? I find it helpful to ask.
2. The percussion is just default Kontakt stuff, I'm afraid. So there's a huge difference in quality between those and the strings.
3. It's supposed to be a clarinet instead of an oboe, but for some reason the patches won't load (even though they work just fine in standalone Kontakt). I'm getting the "this was generated with a more recent version of Kontakt) error. My guess is it's something to do with the batch resaving I did earlier because I checked and it's definitely the latest version of the program.
4. It's not as expressive as it could be as I still have to tweak the automation and maybe select some more suitable patches. Adagio is huge so knowing what patches to use and where is tricky. It doesn't help that they take all up a ton of RAM, either.

EDIT: Changed the title very slightly.

Thanks for the feedback. I have a new WIP:

It should sound smoother now and I tried to make the percussion blend in better. Also, good news! I managed to solve the clarinet problem. Turns out standalone Kontakt was the correct version but the plug-in wasn't. All I had to do was re-copy and paste the .dll file and it worked! I guess that shows me for not checking something so simple from the beginning.

Anyway, think it's ready for prime time? I'd like to be finished with this soon.
