i need to get my synths and strings sound full and lush.what do you do besides eq,compression and effects

[Warwolt]

I think you need to be more specific? Just take a synth, long attack and slow release, write big full chords spanning several octaves and reverb appropriatly.

[legend4ry]

What notes you play are quite important for get full sounding strings and pads.

[Congojack]

Try adding chorus to widen the sound, turn off the LFO's and adjust the depth and crossover etc. It's just 1 of the ways of achieving a stero sound with pads

[Insahn]

Try layering your synths and strings. If your pad has more of a midrange frequency feel to it, try layering some violins at a higher octave. Make sure you EQ and apply reverb appropriately.
