Starise Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Here is a recent composition I just completed.....ok maybe not because I keep going back to my mixes over and over again. I'll be honest. This started out in CbB. I had an issue with my Kontakt tracks getting all mixed up when I unfroze them. I had to do some salvage work and save what I could as track exports which ended up in Studio One. That wasn't my original plan. The main mix was made in Cakewalk but I added a few more tracks and mastered in Studio One. I appreciate any comments. I will be back to listen to others work here. I had to break away for a bit and needed my ears. I'lllll be Bach. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Do I recognize Virharmonic Bohemian Violin? Or??? This piece is really lovely and I like how it unfolds, evolves . .. the middle part around 1:27 gets a little choppy with the marcato? maybe a touch more reverb on those? I dunno. cool piece Starise! -Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjornpdx Posted April 21, 2020 Share Posted April 21, 2020 Beautiful music very well orchestrated. Gotta ask which instruments you're using, esp the violin? Boy does it sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Sprouse Posted April 22, 2020 Share Posted April 22, 2020 Starise! Glad you're *being honest* haha. No, seriously this is good. Hope you had fun making it. @ 2:52 when you go into the two part playing,the samples sounded kind of strange. What orchestral library are you using? I think what it is is that the samples are getting cut off somehow, so it sound electronic. Best, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted April 22, 2020 Author Share Posted April 22, 2020 Tom, Thank you for listening. I used the 8dio SOLO violin . They are phrases but you can tune them to your music. That was the only thing I didn't "play". A little choppy. Yes I see what you mean there. Maybe the strings need softened just a bit. Bjorn, Thank you for listening! I used 8dio SOLO violin and believe it or not a strings, brass and woodwinds from SONiVOX. I picked up brass, strings and woodwinds for 20.00 US on a sale. I can thank cclarry for that The cello is is the Tina Quo number one from Cinesamples. I have the number 2 but it's more legato.I had choirs in this and decided it was a bit too much so I removed them. Tom ( DeeringAmps) . I go back to things I've made and think to myself " what was I thinking?" I really do enjoy the process though. Glad I'm not the only one. Douglas, Thanks man! David, Thanks for being honest. That's the only way we improve. I need to go back and make a few changes. I attempted it earlier today but couldn't find the place . I can tell you what is doing it. My sidechain compression is too aggressive at that place. I have brass sending a side chain to the strings. I don't think the 128 mp3 did me any favors either. The main player here is an inexpensive SONiVOX library. FWIW. The library itself sounds pretty good all by itself. I just need to make a few things "less hot" in the mix.

freddy j Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Very good piece indeed! It has a very big, rich sound to it. It is probably the equipment on my side but I noticed a bit of stuttering through out the piece. Well done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
