Wow, that's crazy. I was listening to the soundtrack the other day and I thought the brass sounded a few milliseconds off from the strings, but I thought I was just hearing things. His strings sound really good, too. Carter, do you know what kind of strings he uses for those?
You mean which libraries ? I think you hear real strings in the extracts (may be blended sometimes with hans zimmer private strings samples but not much in gladiator soundtrack)
i like hans zimmer sound because the sound is new, it's by far very different compared to the traditionnal hollywood orchestra. yeah it's not "purist, he mixes ethnic instruments with traditionnal orchestral instruments, sometimes he uses an electric guitar in an orchestral performance (rarely though).
Zimmer also uses a set of uncommon percussions (like 80s toms that blend really well with an orchestra) ... i wish i could write something like that : http://annecywebtv.free.fr/anm.mp3 it's beautiful :d
