Hi all, spring break is finally here and that means I finally got a chance to do some music writing on my shiny new i7 7700k PC I bought 2 months ago (its really fast!). This is a piece I started about 6 hours ago and it uses the Vienna special edition core 1 and core 2 sounds (I also own core 4 but I dont think I used anything from core 4 in this - yet).
It is my first time really digging in to Cubase 9, really digging into VE, and VI (Im a person of limited means so I dont yet own anything other than SE Core 1, 2, & 4 and Cubase 9 Pro).
The piece is far from complete and this is only the middle 2.5 minutes (the piece so far sits at 12 minutes in length) and currently includes 8 instruments using only 1 articulation from each instrument (again, Im just getting a feel for how all this works).
I know there are issues with the guitar in the second half, I need to play it on a guitar first and make sure what I wrote is actually playable, and the timing is a bit wonky on both the flute and guitar.
The instrument list is as follows:
1 - Oboe (dont remember which I used)
2 - Clarinet
3 - Bosendorfer piano (I will probably record this using my Yamaha concert grand I have in the room with me)
4 - Appasionata strings bonus included in the SE Core 2
5 - Nylon Guitar from SE 2 - Guitars
6 - Flute (I really want to use something more airy, like a Nay flute but alas, I dont have a soundfont for a Nay flute)
7 - Timpani (some short rolls in the first half of the piece)
8 - Trumpet
Anyway, even tho the instrument count is very low, I think it sounds beautiful and is shaping up to be a nice piece.
Oh, and this is using the algorhythmic reverb in VI (I cant even afford MirX) :(
