Hey all, So I'm on my last year or so of undergrad school, and that means that I'll be going through the the senior courses (no more 4 hour classes!), revamping resumes, my portfolio and expanding my internet presence. I'll also be proposing my (50's suspense music here) SENIOR PROJECT! In all seriousness though, i'm really excited! I've been looking forward to getting out there and starting to work with people in the real world. But enough of my ranting, time to present you guys with my proposal for my senior project! - A working VSI with the intent on it being useable in real world mock - ups. But before I really get my hands dirty: I wanted to hear from you guys and get the YC community involved with this project. I think this would be a really cool project to hear from other people and really to network with all of you guys; many of us will be working in the same industry more or less (some of us are already making their name out there) and it would be great to get feedback from peers in the composition community. I don't expect this to be the next cinesamples, but I do intend on getting to know those guys and other companies that create this software and be able to create my own custom instrument libraries in the future. Basically I wanna know: What UI options do you think are "essential" to make a user - friendly patch? What other software instrument would you like to see come out? What are some problems that you have sometimes with VSI's? Anything else that comes to mind :) The short version of my proposal is that I'm going to make a sort of "Scary String" library using some common effects used in commercial orchestral music and some extended string articulations. If you're interested in reading more, I've opened up my Prezi presentation online, the link is below. http://prezi.com/vjt...oject-proposal/ I look forward to hearing from everyone! Happy composing! ~J

Jared, Thanks again for the great critique! Yeah I was using the esx24 stock instruments from logic so that's one of my biggest problems right now, although I just recently som acquired some new samples libraries so i'll have to go back and change those tracks with the new instruments. I love your idea of adding a countermelody with the strings at parts, i'll definitely try that out when i get a chance to go back to it! Thanks again, ~J

Jared, Thanks for the comments! Yeah i'll post the whole score in a few weeks, hopefully she'll post the film up on vimeo or her website so you can see the score in action!

Theme song to the student film "Into the Depths" that im currently working on - not done with the mixing but wanted to give a sneak peak. ~Enjoy! Take what you want

Composition that I created with using my new template in logic. Thought it would be cool for a theme for a character or game. Rise to the occasion
