Here is my performance of the Tchaikovsky Swan Lake Scene 29 Finale, complete, using all VSL instruments and MIR Pro Synchron Stage.
Instrumentation is all full libraries with the exception of the harp which is standard library. Included are Piccolo, Flute 1, Flute 2, Oboe 1, Oboe 2, Clarinet 1, Clarinet 2, Bassoon 1, Bassoon 2, Vienna Horn, Triple Horn, two of the Dim Brass Horns, Bb Trumpet, C trumpet, Cornet, Dim Brass Trumpet, Trombone, Dim Brass Trombone, Bass Trombone, Tuba, Timpani, Piatti, Bass Drum, Snare Drum, Tamtam, Harp, Orchestral Strings, plus all of the solo strings as string section First Chairs. Wow, that was a lot of work just typing it in.
I used the MIR Pro Synchron Stage, all defualt settings, except Oboe 1 on the "siler" setting. I also used MIRacle with the Teledex length enhancement setting. No EQ except a low cut filter at 75khz on all bass instruments and on the master bus to prevent what I call the "booming" that seems to build up otherwise.
I used my own interpretation of tempos and ritornella to suit myself. However, I was trying to achieve a natural instrument balance. Did I succeed? What do you think of the oboe solo?
All comments are welcome and appreciated, even negative ones, especially regarding my two questions.
