SteenE Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 (edited) I have been struggling a bit trying to find a decent orchestra. Lately I found myself trying yet another new VST I discovered on @Starise's project. I just don't think I can get it to sound like the demo. I'm working on a project that was thinking should be a test to how well I can do a "classical piece" . UPDATE: Structure finished and it will probably need some fine tuning. I'm far for satisfied with the sound as I don't think it sounds like a real orchestra, but I think it's closer than I've been before.

Wookiee Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I think I prefer Cello 2 @soundregion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kloon Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 I would try to stack them for a fuller sound, and more reverb! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starise Posted February 15, 2019 Share Posted February 15, 2019 When I mix cello it's usually on the lower strings so I'm probably not the best listener for this. I might try viola instead if the parts are higher. The last take almost sounds like brass to me at the :40 mark. The thing I like about cello are those nice deep harmonics and overtones. Anyways, good luck! May the best sample win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garybrun Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Out of the three I would say two. Nr three sounds to much like brass. If you want to send me the midi files for the cello I dont mind sending you a wave file back as I have quite a few expensive samples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprising to me, as I think it sould more like an accordion. Cello 2 is Amadeus. My preference was Cello 1 which was the one from the Kontakt Factory library. Thanks for the offer.

Cello 3 is Studio strings pro. 21 hours ago, kloon said: I would try to stack them for a fuller sound, and more reverb! And bingo we have a winner. Thanks for the suggestion. Wow that poll really worked well didn't it ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted February 16, 2019 Share Posted February 16, 2019 Fun! For me, #1 had too mechanical and fake vibrato. #2 had better vibrato, but unrealistic, non-legato attack #3 sounds like a french horn. Therefore, the answer is . . . none of them. Keep looking! Check out 8dio Adagietto if you have Kontakt. It's on sale now apprently. Best of luck! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I purchased 8dio Adagietto which also sounded horrible in my ears. I thought I was making progress with what I had, but then I put on some "real" Tchaikowsky and totally lost motivation to continue. Not sure it's possible with VST. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I enjoyed the composition - the melody hooked me - nice job - I think it's impressive. As far as it sounding realistic - I think it's close (I'm no expert with classical music) - to me it's the melody/melodies that matter - does it make you feel something. Just my two cents? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the feedback. Melody is very important to me too. Good to know I'm not the only one. I fiddled a bit more, but I wasn't able to update the track at the top.
