View Full Version : Short DDBE mockup test

Listening to the new (superb) Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets score, I wanted to find out if DDBE could achieve the same kind of full trombone sound, so I did a very short mockup up a passage that would serve well. I didn\'t do the harp, flute figures, glock and all that, and some of the chords are balanced wrong in the trumpets, and the dynamics should be greater etc., but I think the trombones fare pretty well - they\'re obviously mic\'ed closer in DDBE and DDBE lacks that higher mid-tone spark in the bones it seems. The trumpets hold up pretty well too, except we need some good vibrato trumpets - DDBE are non-vib only unfortunately.

Anyway the link is here - the first you will hear is the original recording, followed by the mockup.

Holy Crap, that sounds great Simon.

I\'m afraid I\'m going to have to ask you the most predictable and oft repeated question on this forum: What libraries did you use in addition to the DDBE?

Nice job... that\'s among the most convincing snippets I\'ve heard from a giga setup.

Okay, I\'m an idiot.

I just realized that the first part of that quicktime example is a REAL orchestra. No wonder I was blown away.

I\'ve been trying to play the snippet again so that I can listen to your mockup, but unfortunately I keep getting Quicktime machine gun errors.

Despite my inability to pay attention to the details, you still kick butt, Simon.

Hi Simon,

Great work as allways. Try mixing in DDSB bones but very low, just to get that buzz.

Lex, I don\'t have DDSB so that will be difficult:)

Unison: no I don\'t have the score, this was done by ear.

Try turning on your AN1X or Virus then, and just make a brass buzz withh LP in the background. Zimmer does that all the time.LOL!

I really like the trumpets, is it DDBE or Maarten?
If DDBE which patches dyn-fx hard?

cool work.... images/icons/smile.gif

The trumpets are DDBE, I used the HARD patch as well as a muted trumpet patch for one of the notes in the chord. French horns are a combination of SAM Horns and DDBE.
