Fred's Gratis Scores Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Wow, it feels like forever since I was last on this board. Been busy with work, short courses, and revamping my template. Looks like things are settling down and I'll have more time to spend here. This one was inspired by a Harry-Potter-esque book (pictured) that a co-worker made and the first since taking a Orchestral Mixing short course. All feedback welcome. Enjoy!

David Sprouse Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 I listened on my consumer stereo system and there was some pumping in tutti sections (sometimes samples just do that) not sure if you had compression involved. Loved the composition, it had a folk songish cantus firmus which I really liked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you are hearing a combination of not enough overlap in the midi notes (which in hindsight I know are lacking in some parts) and the attack time of the samples themselves. The CineBrass horns can be particularly troublesome. At one point, I had to edit the clip volume of each note to get a smoother run. 1 hour ago, daryl1968 said: lovely stuff Fred - the interlude in the middle section is especially pretty Thanks Daryl. I got to use my new FaderPort2 with the piano on that middle section to add extra expression. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted March 20, 2021 Share Posted March 20, 2021 0:30 xylophone (?) stands out well 1:16 didn't realize it was in 3/4 time until this sort of waltz-y part began I think you captured the magical place sound very well. -Bjorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
