Appassoinata demo

[svonkampen]

Hey,

So some weeks ago I talked about setting up 3 G5's to run the new VIenna Library.......I worked the Logic "autoload" forever, using famous scores for references on "EQ", "IRs" panning.......everything. It took a while [;)] about a month....

Lots of Appasionata violins

Well......This week I pulled one of my scetches into the "new" autoload......and after about 36 hours of drawing swells, and tweaking....I made this.

(I thought I would start with something very simple.)

I hear this as an opera excerpt, moments before someone's about to die! [:'(]

[JBacal]

A pleasing sound. But did your left and right channels get switched. The string sections positions sound reversed on my system.

Best,
Jay

Guy,

Hehe,

That's what it's for! (not an opera though[;)]

Right before death.....

Excellent work SVK! Very gloomy indeed. I love the way your brass growls. What patches are you using for the bones? Did you intend the violins to be on the right side of the mix? Also nice e.q. on the basses. Great warmth and passion. Care to share your autoload? 'twould be nice to hear more of your work.

[svonkampen]

JBacal.....

Just switch your headphones around [;)]


I do need a "counter line" for the big Forte Strings at end........haven't found it yet...

BUT I am very pleased with the realism.......the end section needs something to put it over the top....but I'm getting to close to it, and I don't want to screw it up....I'll have to sleep on it.

Thanx for comments guys [;)]

[svonkampen]

You guys are gonna laugh.....

I was born deaf on my left ear...hahahaha

I'll switch the violins tommorrow!

thanx

It's very dramatic and a rich sound but if I may make a little comment: The ending could use a bit more expression despite the powerful effect present there.

[svonkampen]

Guy...

you are so right! ( as i mentioned this earlier in thread )

I need a counter part for the end strings (probably bones descending low-mids) to give more motion / movement......ALSO the harmony of the pads could maybe be "thicker" at ending. some more tensions....

I just couldn't find it today........

ALSO a more deliberate rubato will help the ending.

[Guy Bacos]

Oh good. I was worried I may sound like a party pooper! [:)]

[dpcon]

Oh Yeah that's very nice indeed. My question is what your reverb soultion is: Altiverb?

[svonkampen]

DpCon,

Logic Space Designer.....HOWEVER.....my friend has Altiverb so.....I used a "digital spike", to clone the famous stages of Altiverb
(the copies are perfect)

SvK

[dpcon]

Well it sounded just great so I have to do something like that. MIR will probably be the ultimate for this library (at least for the technically challenged like me.)

[magates]

amazing mix - unbelievable mix for someone with only one working ear! great music too of course, and that always helps.

[svonkampen]

magates,

thanx
