  • Suggestion for a mockup with the VSL

    Hi Herb,

    I had an idea for a demo and I would like to know if you (or any other user) have the time doing "Hoe Down" (A. Copland) with the VSL.

  • Sounds like fun - I just recorded a version with a "biological" [;)] orchestra last week; the solo-violin alone would be a real challenge.

    Any takers ...?

  • Hello guys. What a challenge, and a great piece of music too! If I had the time I'd give it a go! I'm currently doing Mars (Planets) from an older MIDI file I had using Miroslav and Sziedlaczek libraries. The comparison is astounding! Will post it when done but will only get up to 2 or 3 minutes done probably as work is calling!

    Rich.

    PS Congrats to all the VSL team for winning the Best Sound Library from the Game Audio Network Guild (www.audiogang.org), announced during the Game Developers Conference in the US last week.

  • Hi guys,
    I got VSL Perf last week and I just completed a commercial using it.

    They wanted me to mock-up Shostakovitch's Valse II. I played the saxophones parts with F horns and some other sax samples I had.
    Every sounds are from VSL except for the piccolo, the celesta, the piano, the (ugly) saxophones and the percussions. The final version will have real saxophones on it.

    As you all know mocking up a classical piece is always a tough thing to do. I have been isolated for the last 2 days doing it. [[;)]]

  • Great work wt. Very convincing and enjoyable. What reberb did you use?.

  • Sorry - reverb. Too much wine.

  • Thanks. I am using a Lexicon 300 inserted in my Logic Audio mixer (PC).

  • My nominee for all time most spectacular use of contrast in an orchestration is "The Prince's Decree" in Prokofiev's Romeo and Juliet. It goes from an ear splitting FFF brass/woodwind polychord into the most spine tingling PPP string chord.

    It's short too.

    Any takers? A good demo of this would shift a few units of VSL
