Jerry Gerber Posted July 5 Share Posted July 5 (edited) This movement is driven by 6 soft synths, 3 instances of Dune and 3 instances of Zebra. These synths are orchestrated into the orchestral texture using all VSL samples. This piece was composed mostly in Cakewalk for Bandlab and ported over to Sonar for finishing the composition, mixing, recording and mastering. I hope you enjoy listening. I would say the energy is "controlled frenetic". The score is available for those interested.

Jerry Gerber Posted July 11 Author Share Posted July 11 (edited) Because digital synthesizers are capable of far faster attack times than orchestral samples (or live players), it's always a challenge to get the best possible "feel" between the synths and the digital orchestral samples. By moving the soft synth tracks later in time it ensures that their attack times do not sound ahead of the orchestra. We're talking milliseconds; if the timing isn't just right, it can sound rhythmically off. I re-recorded the movement by shortening the amount of time the synthesizers are beginning their attack times by moving the synth tracks backward 20ms so that the synths are coming in slightly earlier than in the previous version. It's not something that can be heard, but it can be felt by a sensitive listener. I think this retains the tension of the music, but also seems to add a bit more cohesion between the orchestral samples and the synths.
