Guy - really wonderful composition on the triple horn piece (only one I have listened to so far). Can you give a little more details of the kind of string patches you used on the following passages:

1. Lyrical melodic sections

2. the fast passage (vlns giving the 16th note runs)


Thanks again Guy for your wonderful examples



edit: OK Guy - just listened to the second Tuba piece - again wonderful. Pretty much the same question on the string programming. The strings have a nice lush sound (plenty of verb) without being mushy. Can you tell us how you did this. Also - what are your 'go to' patches (perf-trills, etc?)

thanks again Guy.

Okay, I have the Cube and the Appassionata Strings are coming soon, great! [:D]

Now can someone tell me where I might be able to buy some talent like Guy has? [*-)]

...a lot of hard work!

Thanks Rob. [[;)]]

The first piece "Sur Les Toits de Paris", is the best piece of music I've ever heard inspired by the public conveniences of the French capital. Bar none.

Both pieces are amazing Guy.

And excellent mix by Miklos, especially on "The monastery on the mountain". String sound is some of the best I've heard yet, and interesting to hear the Wagner tuba hold it's own when soloing.

Sometimes the strings and horns end fairly sharply - are there dims of these available?

I was thinking this as well. Would it not be possible to make it sound more realistic by applying some volumechange to the end to make it less abrupt?

Either way, excellent work!

Ok,ok, you people win [:'(] I will make that adjustment since it has bothered me just as much.

I appreciate the comments though. [[;)]]

Excellent stuff Guy. I'm impressd by the dramatic swells and dims - do you use an expression pedal to help with those?

Aside from the personal interpretation I like to give using controllers, (no swell ped), it's just my own personalized matrix, one for violins, one for violas, and one for cellos. Anybody could do the same. It wouldn't be very smart of me to give away the fxp matrix to the whole world in a very competitive field where everybody wants a shot at scoring movies (including me [:'(] )...I'm sure it's understandable.
