The North - Realistic orchestral mockup

Подписаться 920

50% 1

New composition made in Logic Pro X. I'm a music teacher that have a love of for composing. This is a new song that I choose to call "The North". The name comes from trying to replicate a traditional Scandinavian vibe. Don't really know if the picture fits tough, but I think it looks nice.
It is to be released on a cinematic record label appropriatly called "AMG Scandinavia" in October together with 9 other of my compositions. My goal for this album has been to make as realistic orchestral music as I can. I want it to sound as close to the real thing as possible. In this song I've set the focus a bit on the woodwinds where I've put a lot of solo passages, trying to get get as natural phrases as I can. Any feedback is more than welcome!
Libraries used:
Cinematic studio strings
Cinematic studio woodwinds
Cinematic studio brass
Pacific ensemble strings (layering)
Pacific Solo violin (layering)
Tina Guo cello (layering)
BBC SO Core Percussion

Stunning realistic production, congrats. Great accompanying strings writing.

Masterful use of the wind instruments and that nice Celtic signature, got a feeling of fable the music game, great productions all the bells and whistles thrown at it and I like the key/chord change 1:40 very classical. Not sure I would consider it Scandinavian , which are generally more Atonal and rhythmically loose with instruments like the Tagelharpa. But a very beautiful fantasy music.

i like the question and answer between the instrument....very good and original 💛.....how do you use pacific ensemble to layering CSS strings ? do you use the 2 mics ? and did you Eq pacific strings ensemble patch ?. thanks in advance for your answers 👍

Thanks for your feedback! I'll try to answer your questions: - I start by programming the Pacific strings, violin 1, violin 2, viola, cello and bass, because they are a bit faster to program (since they have only one legato speed i can use -127 track delay an put everything on the grid, and it is exactly in time to the metronome, super easy!). I muse both mics and very little EQ processing, maybe a tine bit reduction 1 or 2 db around 3000 and around 300-500. I then copy everything over to CSS and do some more programming there, fine tune the legatotransitions etc. I go about 60-40 in volume. 60% CSS and 40 Pacific. I also use more reverb on pacific than on CSS. Sometimes I aso use an Pacific ensemble patch on top of everything, dont think I did that here though.

The CSS i use quite a lot more eq. I'm using some parts of a template that is called "Colossal" that is specificly made to the cinematic studio series, just google it. But i'm not actually using it as intended. Basicly i'm taking away lots of mid range. Like 3-6 db:s from 200-5000, a little more in some places and a little less. Basicly CSS are to dark when played together with the other instruments in the orchestra.

@@viktorritchey I know the collossal project template but I didn't buy it, I like the sound of it. The eq of cinesaga template seems better to me ( do you know cinesaga ? ) and less CPU overall.....I check new master score from collossal and they layering more and more libraries now. They re still using ccs series as a prime library but more others libraries like cinesamples are used to create more real orchestral result.

@stevefida3858 11 дней назад

More eq, more layering and more plugins to change the original sound of the sampke is not always the best to do...that s way I m very interesting to see step by step you mixing procedure and effects you are using in a video 👍

@@stevefida3858 I believe that you can use a lot of plugins to tweek the sound, for example i use 3-4 kind of different compressors. But a very small amount on everything, nothing over the top, but together they add up and really shapes the sound in a positive way.
