Get well soon, Mike

Thanks for the very detailed answers Michael. I have to admit I've been trying it with Superior 3 rather than the Jamstix drum library.

I would really like to try this seeing as I have been eyeing it for quite some time. I downloaded the free version, installed and tried to load it into Studio One and it just freezes Studio One.  I also tried it in Waveform and it didn't even show up.  I have an email support request in but have not heard back.  Any ideas from those that have it.  

I have the x64 VST 2 version installed and scanned an all my hosts are 64 bit.

 

The x64 version works for me in Studio One. You've probably already tried this, but maybe try disabling all other plugins (maybe it conflicts with another one)?

Thanks Mark

I just downloaded the free version and had a play around; it seems really impressive.

Yeah, that's the way I use it most. I write the MIDI drum part I want, then it plays it like a real drummer

I've not used it for long so this is probably a dumb question, but how do I get it to play a drum part that I write? Would I write a basic groove, export it to a MIDI file, and then import it again as a style? If that's the case, would I typically keep it short (e.g. 4 bars); or would I write a full 16 bar verse and use that as the MIDI style? And then do I repeat for the chorus?

Sorry for so many questions; just trying to understand how it works

I'm pretty excited for this one. The only orchestral percussion library I have at the moment that spans the whole range is GPO 5, and while it's good, the SDX seems much more comprehensive.

What would be the typical usage for Satin? Is it something that you put onto the master bus, or is it something that you put onto each track (like a console emulator)? if the latter, how is it for CPU usage, and how does it compare with Overloud Tapedesk?

Thanks everyone: glad you enjoyed listening.

I really didn't know another piece existed that was so similar; guess I was just following the notes of the chords. I had fun creating this anyway.

Very cool tune. Thanks for sharing.

Sensitive Female Chord progression aside, you did well with the arrangement.

Thanks LadyFuzztail, though I'm not quite sure what you mean; do you think another vocal would be better, or that the vocal part could be arranged more suitably?

Thanks everyone; glad you enjoyed listening.

Anthony, great piece here. Epic in all the right spots, tension that builds and is released. Mix sounded great.

What was the product - insurance? dentures? a Sham-wow? Whatever, very likely their product is unworthy of your fine composition.

Hi Tom. It was a virtual instrument library; probably isn't fair to name names.

To my ear this has too much of John Murphy's "Adagio in D Minor" on the melody to feel comfortable. But looking past that:

The percussion feels way bigger than the actual orchestra. The high strings particularly are pushed too much to the back. Also some of bigger percussion hits come about quite abruptly. The male choir could be more present, it would give much more backbone to the track.

Structurewise I feel this didn't quite go to full on climax you'd expect.

Hi Kuusniemi. I hadn't heard Adagio in D Minor before (or that I could remember), but you're right: there is a very close similarity. Having said that, it occurred to me after finishing it that it reminded me of another piece of music that features in Ace Combat: Assault Horizon. No plagiarism consciously intended. Thanks for the comments; always good to know how I can improve my mixes.

Hi Everyone

This song started life as the soundtrack for a trailer scoring competition for a certain product. Nothing much came of it, and I thought I'd pad it out a little more rather than let it go to waste. Comments welcome; hope you enjoy!
