    This sounds like an interesting thing .. always wondered about adding a few quiet shuffles .. or chairs creaking quietly in the background. Or the turning of pages.

    A funnny little story in this context:

    I'm just working on a huge orchestral-pop-project, where we recorded everything with real musicians, before parts of the score were backed-up on behalf of VSL samples. The executive producer - a classically trained and accomplished musician himself - can't stop complaining about "all that unpleasant noise people made during recording", like squeaking chairs, turning pages without taking care, and of course loud breathing.

    Go figure ... :-D

    Yeah, this whole sample thing is crazy. I've spent a lifetime telling people to be quiet, play together and in tune, and this whole programming malarkey needs exactly the opposite. [;)]

    You all are welcome.

    Sorry it took so long to respond.

    I have been through hell trying to figure out some

    computer problems and been bouncing back and forth on various

    OS's ie XP, XP64, Vista64...

    Finally settled back to XP64 and will be installing the whole

    VI Cube again.

    Still trying to figure out my vanishing RAM problem.

    Anyway, enjoy making your compositions sound more "performed"

    The best "scoring noise" are the ones which capture the "air" but dont have coughing people, chairs etc.

    I like the page turn sounds. Chairs and coughs I can do without.

    Hi everyone!

    I'm sorry for being that late, and of course the file is not available anymore, but does anyone could re-upload the file again? I'm looking for this kinda stuff since ages and didn't find anything really useful yet.

    Thanks! [:)]

    My thoughts on this is, it does add something but a lot less than we think. If your piece is well programmed and sounds great without it, to me the ambience noise won't add that much if anything. The fact that a piece sounds more realistic with ambience noises won't make it sound any better, and that's really the bottom line. Well that's my 2 cents.

    Hello Guy,

    Well, actually I agree with you. Actually it was just to give it a try and see by myself [;)]. My guess is that's probably removes the purity of the sound and just add some ... noise in fact, so it could be complitely useless, but as just said, I wanted to try it out ... just curious.

    Thanks,

    Arnaud.

    And when ever I need an orchestral ambience library, I've got my own personal one, anyone is welcome to use it too:

    The only thing that bothers me with music using samples, is that silence is uncomfortable. I would like to be able to cover that, but I certainly don't want chair scrapes, page turns and coughing all over my tracks.

    What would you like to cover the silence with?

     The magic air that one gets in a studio or concert hall. Digital silence is so cold.

    I agree. Until this issue is resolved you could always write cold pieces, here are some title suggestions: 

    -Cold Spring

    -The Cold Night

    -Cold is Beautiful

    -It was so Cold

    -Winter

    -Freezing

    -My Di... Froze

    -It Was a Cold Winter

    -Winter Time is for Me

    -Wine by a Fire on a Cold Winter Night

    -Winter Wind

    Guy, I think that I've done all those already. And the 30" and 60" versions. [8-|]
