Infinite Series (Aaron Venture) thread

The brass work better, I was able to perform rips and trills very convincingly, the thing I miss a bit from IW is a bit more of airness with the flutes while performing the runs. If you listen to the runs performed in almost every John Williams track they are bright and airy, I find a little bit difficult to get the same result with IW, unless I'm missing something.
100% on rips although I think trills work great, and the one thing I'll say about rips on both IW and IB is if you tie all *except* the target note and give it 127 velocity it will give a bit of that pop tonally at the end
 
Did turning up the dynamics not add it in? AFAIK the 2.0 update tied in that breathy noise to dynamics.
Raising up the dynamics helped a bit but not as much as I hoped. If you listen to the "Battle Over Coruscant" track I did you can hear what I mean. I also added a bit of EQ on the high frequencies to get a bit more air on the flutes and piccolo but it still lack something.

I tried many things and some work better, some other worse. I did a little run test a while ago where I tried to tie the notes or divide them all with different results. I also tried to do what you say and I have good results but there is still something missing.

no i agree, that's what i was saying earlier, it would be great if they could figure that out, but for now I just layer the brass with rips from CSB and stacc from bbc for winds (or just have the run on stacc and fade it in towards the top)
 
@Ziffles just added another week to the release. Lets boo Ziffles!

Just kidding. And great to know that 1.6 is around the corner!
Noooo!! ;)

I missed Aaron's reply last week, so I'll send him an email. I actually tried my own mono hack and batch converted the samples of one of the trumpet patches using Wavosaur (stereo to mono using one channel, then convert back to stereo again to work properly with the kontakt patch) and it worked! The results were... mixed.

It actually didn't wind up sounding a whole lot different than the regular stereo patch. It seems like the impulses are indeed imparting a lot of their own sound onto it moreso than I thought they were. Go figure, they're impulses after all.

I think I'm just gonna live with it for now and not hold Aaron up any more, haha! I can't wait for 1.6!

Haha was just kidding of course! I hope you find a solid solution soon.
 
I was experimenting with an ASM Hydrasynth and created some cheesy robotic bird chirping. Ha! I threw on some Infinite French horns, Trombones & Trumpets. Now it sounds like a cheesy SciFi TV track. :)

:rofl: this was fun! The more I hear AV horns the more I like them.
 
Today, I composed a fanfare for brass and percussion, using only IB for the brass. Two years after buying this library, I am still very pleased with how playable it is. The recent updates to the tone of the instruments have only solidified my opinion. I still, without hesitation, stand by my own testimony that can be seen on the Aaron Venture website.
