Hi, i need help. I am trying to find what type of strings/string effects is on the opening of Ella Henderson - Now You Say You Love Me Again. Here is the link.

Please, Thank you!!

sounds like they are played in reverse,
maybe a reverse reverb
or gated reverb?

Thank you!! i will try that out! They sound like they are sweeping strings too, but i can't create that effect somehow... hmm

Have you tried playing with the ADSR envelopes
Try a very slow attack with little to minimum decay sustain and release and some reverb. Use a gate plugin to cut the sound and make it "whip" at the end of the chord. Also slight reverb.
Alternatively try a hard attack with gentle decay and sustain with a moderate release. Bounce it to an audio file and reverse then add some light reverb.
You could also try the bounced audio in a sampler

Thank you so much Gaz! :)

No worries bro

You might need to automate the threshold of the gate to allow the sound to pass through then crank it right at the end so no noise passes above the threshold at the peak/climax/end of the string chord. I don't mean a fade up by the way I mean like a constant line set at "x"db while the chord plays then a very swift crank to max threshold to cut all noise

This tutorial demonstrates the gate plugin in Logic Pro x

Ultimately all do the same job

Have a look at the video and you'll get the concept of what I mean.

This is very handy for recording live instruments also,for cutting out background noise or unwanted nonsense that is quieter than the recorded signal.

Hopefully you pick up on something :)
