E.T. mockup with GOS+Kirk Hunter

[Simon Ravn]

It seems this is a very good combination indeed. I added the 24VLN HRDSUS patch on top of the GOS violins and it made the strings more engaging in some way. It could probably be even better if I tweaked some of the GOS strings, now that Kirk Hunters strings are playing the \'aggressive role\'.

THAT\'S MORE LIKE IT! Very well done, it seems though there could be a little more, \"bite,\" on some of the attacks, but overall, it rivals Thomas\' demo with his custom brass library. What brass library are you using? Also, what reverb?

[Simon Ravn]

I think the strings sounds quite a bit better than the pure Kirk Hunter demo Thomas did. The brass is AO french horns, QLB trombones and Maartens free trumpet! http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

Reverb - strings, Lexicon MPX1. Brass, woodwinds and the rest, TC M-One.

I now want both Kirk Hunter and GOS. You got me sold on it!!!

I think this Demo should be saved somewhere in the Giga Hall of Fame!!! Maybe we should create one!

Yes I aplogise for Saying Garritans was not impressive, only because I did not believe that the Demos were that great. This Demo to me is the best Illustration on what can be done with GOS and KH. So to me the answer is to use a blend of different samples to create that fulness I was looking for.

Thanks once again!!

Raven, thanks for the nice words. The transition from fast strings to legato in the beginning is pretty terrible though http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif

This sounds better but it still screams fake unfortunately :/ Especially the last two notes \"da-daaaaaaaaaa\" sounds a little dubious. Anyway great work!

(Oh and there are still wrong notes in the mockup http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/wink.gif Where are the 16th horn staccato notes fx?)

Maartens trumpets sound good here as well.

Thanks for taking your time, Simon

They are there. Heavily burried under a lot of other things. However I change the french horn staccatos to legatos in the last 4 beats pr bar towards the end... http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif And I use sustains following the rhythm of the basses/etc for the trombones - only the french horns have 16ths. HOWEVER, to make it even more weird, I use 16ths notes for the trombones in the last few bars - same bars where I use 4*16th+sustains for the french horns. Yeah.. something like that http://www.northernsounds.com/ubb/NonCGI/images/icons/smile.gif
