DanJTitchener Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Wow this is very cool, as it started I heard quite a bit of John Williams / Harry Potter in there but by the end I was very impressed. Is this a recording? If not, please tell me how this was made! Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, it's not a recording, I used the following sample libraries: Orchestral Tools - Berlin Woodwinds Audiobro - Modern Scoring Strings Project Sam - True Strike Audio Imperia - Chorus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanJTitchener Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 It sounds incredible, is that with a DAW then? All I do is write my scores and export the audio with Noteperformer for Sibelius, so I'm very intrigued how people create audio sounding this good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah, I was just about to ask if those VST 3 are compatible with NP 4 play back engine. I do have Studio one, myself. But since, I have always been taught to read music, and it easier for me to write music using a notation program than DAW.

I've been looking for a better choral sound; but this one is unaffordable for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This can be done by exporting your piece from Sibelius as a MIDI file, then loading this file into your DAW. It's then just a matter of assigning virtual instruments to each channel, and a whole load of tweaking to create a realistic sound! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's that last part of your answer which is the Great Unknown for me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gmm Posted October 3, 2023 Share Posted October 3, 2023 Hi @olivercomposer, I really like this piece. I think it would be even better if you used more dynamic variation. For example, I think the beginning should be much quieter. This would create a more mysterious atmosphere, and make the climaxes later even more impactful. Thanks for sharing! -gmm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henry Ng Tsz Kiu Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Hey @olivercomposer, You are lucky that @gmm drops a review on your piece! Another octatonic beginning starts well. There's indeed reminiscent of Harry Potter as @DanJTitchener noted at the beginning. You really love octatonic modulation as you also have one in 1:35 from G minor to E minor with the "Aah" vocal (again haha!), with hexatonal C minor flavouring. I like that you go for a dimineundo at the end rather than having the brass bombarding till the end as in your previous pieces. I think of this piece rather depicting a castle occupied by the evil party rather than itself cursed. Thx for sharing! Henry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
