SND - IDEAS - Music With HQ Orchestral Samples

Hi!


What do u people think of some movie music, using HQ Orchestra Samples. If u want to know how it sounds, here are some links to the homepages of some libraries. U can download several demo-songs from it.

I'm wanting to use such samples in a suitable style for the game. What do u think of it?

I think it is definitely an idea to entertain. Most recently, we've been after the music department to produce some kind of orchestral theme (specifically based off G. Holst's "Mars") to put in intro, outro, and ingame cinematics. Are you proposing we use some of the music on these collections? Or will you make something similar from scratch?

hmmm, I'd prefer to make something from scratch. But if u really would like me to add orchestration, then that's also ok.

I'm also uploading a demo song now. It's a combination of the guitar music that Whitewashed made with my orchestration on it. Just a simple tryout, nothing special. ;)

hmm, interesting :)


I still need a few things indeed:

- piano samples (Steinway, Bösendorfer, or same quality)
- choir (men, women, everything u got :) )
- solo violin


But that won't be for now. I still need to save some money for those

Anyways, great to have someone who works with the same kind of stuff :D

I have the Edirol HQ Orchestra VST. It's not as good as those linked in the first post (the Bach tunes with the Vienna Symphonic Library knocked me unconscious with their awesomeness), but I think the sound quality will be enough for this project. :) I'll try to come up with some examples as soon as I can so you can hear.

Yep, Bach was one of the very best composers. We'll never reach the level of contrapoint he could handle. So many voices, so correctly placed. That guy was just a genius.

The sound on the other hand, I think we can manage to get that level, but it'll take some excersise :wink:

Thought I should show you approximately what my music will sound like when I finally get some done, heh.

So I made this snippet from "Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring" (by Bach, surprise surprise!) and, well... the song itself is not suitable for Xenocide, but I hope the sound is. That's what I want you to judge. ;)

well, it's very nice, but it could be better done because it still sounds a bit too digital, especially because it's a classical piece. When playing classical, it's very very hard to get a good sounding interpretation of the piece. But the samples sound indeed very good :D
