    Hi all,

    Continuing my exploration of mixing VSL and Live Players.

    Häxan

    Piano, Bassoon and Uprigth Bass are from VI - Full Libraries.

    The Flute and the Brass section have been performed and multitracked by a life musician.

    Mixed in Cubase with MIR24 andStudio Weiler.

    Any comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

    Best

    That sounds flawless, there is no audible difference between live and sampled!  ALso I like that piece and wish there was more of it.

    Thanks William,

    that means a lot coming from someone who has quite some impressive publications with VSL himself!

    I always struggled with length. My workflow still is so slow.

    The VSL samples are amazingly realistic, that's for sure.

    Thanks

    Very nice, Stefan!  I've experimented with the live players/VSL set-up as well, and am in fact, working on an album with clarinet, accordion, and VSL orchestra/chamber combinations right now.  Your results are impressive and encouraging that such projects can work!

    Cheers,

    Dave

    Thanks Dave!

    I rely heavily on MIR.

    This time I experimented with different directions in MIR. I think it was Paul who pointed out in one post, that it migth be a good idea to point instruments away from the mic.

    It seems to work great for the French Horns.
    They point to the wall anyway in real life.

    Thanks
