VSL's Big Bang Orchestra has some modules

Are there any string libraries with tutti 1st and 2nd violins (around 30 players) besides HZ strings?

Case in point of the HZ magic. A sound which on the surface seems simple, but when you dig down into it is actually quite unique due to its rich detail and intentional craftsmanship.

I had to add even more dynamic eq to some frequencies for horns and other brass instruments... bzzz is gone... but now it sounds too compressed for me... So, anyway, the problem is solved P.S. I also checked the speakers... they are really buzzing at 160 Hz

How is Linux working out for you? I've often considered doing the switch but usually too chicken to make a big switch like that. Perhaps I'll set up a secondary system on a laptop or something and try it out. Are you using Reaper as a DAW? I generally keep everything in my template and...

...don't use all my Spectrasonics plugin. But the license transfer is too expansive to be interesting to sell them. I'm now minimalist, and I consider myself covered with simply Zebra hz (waiting for Zebra 3). I don't use any other synth, and don't reinstall my other synths when I change my setup.

I would think this is far difficult for ensembles than soloing over a track. Big money productions are still gonna use live players. Most people watching films don't have VI Control ears or care. Somewhere when you learn more about certain aspects of music like production and performance I...

That's a pretty good way of putting it... the samples imitate orchestras and then the orchestras by way of this have to imitate the things imitating them, and in this process you cancel anything out which was not imitated at the start because it doesn't pass the quality check filter as much as...

...One example that comes to mind is (I can't remember the original post / article, maybe someone else knows where it is) something about HZ and JNH and co. spending a long time recording String ostinati for Batman Begins. It seems that everyone gets used to the tightness of the sampled strings...

I can't speak to Sibelius, but I use most of the rest of those (u-he Zebrai (2 and HZ) of the u-he bullet). M1Pro MacBook Pro, Sonoma 14.4.1, Logic 10.8.1, Kontakt 7.9.0. The only thing(s) I consistently have issues with are the particular combination of Sonoma, Logic, Kontakt, and my NI S88...

Spot on! Damn they sound identical. I didn't know that library had such a huge sound. Always thought it was just random world percussion. Why the dislike for 8dio? Just curious. I heard there was some drama but never found out what.

HZ Percussion Taiko patch tuned up 3 semitones, room mic added in, boom knob at around 30% seems to be pretty close. They are definitely taikos though

The main sound is 100% the taiko ensemble from HZ Percussion

Agreed, love his work, Prisoners is a hauntingly beautiful score, I’ll miss hearing new music from him

With all this chatter about LG and HZ it saddens me most have already forgotten about Johan Johansson. Sicario and Arrival really made a mark in the film scoring landscape in the 2010s. We were robbed of what could’ve been a magnificent career full of landmark scores. Gone way way too soon.

...it all feels very coherent. I really love percussion and there are many other wonderful products out there in this area — Damage 2, Drum Fury, HZ percussion, Soundiron’s stuff and EW’s Stormdrum 2 and 3 — lots to choose from. But Hammers has this intentionality and controlled passion that I...

...has just begun a two part series on the basics of synthesis. I accept that he seems to be a "Marmite" (should that be Vegemite?) personality but he has also done some decent stuff on various synthesis subjects which can be found on the Higher HZ channel on YT.

...reinforcement without being overrun with eye candy. It also has a reasonably deep set of third party presets you can learn from. I like Zebra HZ for preset browsing and tweaking. I already own more good presets for this than I’ll use in a lifetime. I like the Dawesome synths for playing...

I hope that I m missing something here. Cannot find any way to create my own tags. Before I start doing a pass on all the presets I have gatherd, I would like to be sure that I am in deed force to use only factory tags categories/values.

...title of the post is a little deceiving so I've renamed it to include my own originality as the rework was written this way (to include my HZ influences). Definitely subjective if some musical traits would equate to HZ but it was great fun to place myself in his shoes and think about...

...a different take. Whether or not it is "Hans Zimmer" is entirely subjective, but it's interesting to me how many folks equate "hit it with a hammer" as "-Hz-"... I don't personally think this is his style... And in the spirit of fairness, please feel free to rip my recent take to shreds :-)

"This is the best love theme I've ever written, I keep telling everyone this is a romantic comedy, but nobody believes me." - HZ

...EQ with some pretty severely narrow notch cuts, and only gentle wide boosts. My default setting for the stock EQ is just a high-pass at 20hz with maximum steepness, and the first three presets are the same high-pass slope but at 40, 60, 120 hz so I can just flip to those with key commands...

...The next upcoming generation who is born with a device in their hand hearing scores from games and movies won't care less how it got there... "HZ or JW or AI, who cares Bruh as long as it's lit?" :cautious: Actually, we have no actual idea where it'll go. Your assessment is right as far as...

...it is what kind of sound you are after. If it is a more studio orchestra sound then HOOPUS, Synchron, Cinematic Studio Series and Audio Imperia. If you want that HZ media venture sound then Spitfire and OT. Both work in film. I try to get as many libraries as possible so I have a choice. :)

...well .. fell down the rabbit hole. Will purchase zebra legacy soon, and start probably making presets, as I known what I want and the stock zebra HZ content is.... Very very good. So great starting point for me It s a longer topic but I had time to think about the idea of synth instrument...

HZ is right, the only way to address their insecurity is to do a real preview. The director is on your side and likes your music. Producers don't care about the music (otherwise they'd have a definite creative note for you) they just worry that the movie isn't working!

...something in that vein. The file format is a 1280x720 .mov file. Video format is H.264, audio format is Linear PCM, 24 bit big-endian signed integer, 44100 Hz. Sorry if that's not what you were looking for, I'm quite a bit out of my league with this issue I've only been doing this for a year 😭

...duduk, the 8Dio electric cello, solo cello from Performance samples, plus a good amount of dark zebra for the synth parts. There's also a bit of the CS80 emulation from Arturia in there. All of the percussion is a mix of Damage 2 and HZ Perc. Would love to know what you think :) best, Ashton

Synapse is two people actually. Marcin does graphics and Mac side iirc.

...one of my top five favourite sound designers means I like a lot in equator 2 and cypher 2. we part company again with the dawsome synth and for the most part the generate factory bank. But yes to each their own. I love the legend hz bank thoughz hopefully we aren't opposites in that too. :) rsp

Having HZ attached to it is definitely the biggest selling point for me and is the main reason why I’m excited about it, had this just been a standard update for The Legend I probably would’ve just said “oh cool, that looks nice, don’t know if I need it but it sounds good”, whereas knowing that...

...the factory presets in Equator2, Cypher2, Moog Mariana, Kult, and Generate. The association with the Dune 2 soundtrack suggests that the Legend HZ presets will sound more modern and more interesting. If it were just a bunch of vintage Moog presets I wouldn't be interested. (Got Arturia's...

It wouldn't be as wanted if the Dune 2 movie soundtrack in particular weren't a part of it. (I do have Dark ZebraHZ, mainly for the free upgrade to Zebra 3, but I find the music and the movie it's associated with a lot less appealing, and I've never used it for anything.)

Yeah probably. Personally I couldn't care less that the HZ name is attached to the product. I think old analog stuff sounds amazing but I have zero nostalgia. All of the serious emulations out there are way too close to the original hardware units IMO. What interests me is really what The...

It wouldn't exist if HZ didn't ask for it. The sales are just a bonus for SA I guess.

Would this be as wanted if HZ wouldn’t be a part of it? Don’t get me wrong I will buy it when it comes (if I’m still alive).

...designed for expressive MPE playing + some other stuff. There'll probably be a better sale on Black Friday anyway. OTOH if I like The Legend HZ enough and want to be fiscally responsible I could finally get around to selling Diva, which I never use (mostly because I dislike all but one or...

...Do you perhaps know of any soundsets that go in this direction? I own really a lot of synths, the usual contenders including Omnisphere Zebra HZ Pigments Phase Plant Avenger Rapid Dune 3 RP Predator Pneuma Spire Thorn and a lot more. Sometimes I even buy a synth only to use a certain...

Not quite--if the players were seated in the exact same place in the same room, and you blended 16 violins with 4 violins, you wouldn't get the even less focused sound of 20 violins. The 4 would bring focus to the 16. Just listen to Duality demos. As the dry sections get mixed in, the sound of...

...ears would say "Don't do this" You have isolated 1 library here with different settings. That isn't what the OP is asking about. If I could make HZ sound like chamber (I have my doubts about that as well), it is still going to sound much different when I blend it with Spitfire Chamber...

...get a result that sound like a stringmachine [i.e. a synth]. When mixing sections, it's crucial to really use the ears. A good example are the HZ Strings of Spitfire. Depending on which mics you use, the 60 player sections can give you a much more intimate "chamber-ensemble-like" sound than...

I have a few of those. Novo by Heavyocity is one. The loop/designer stuff is great, I just don't make music like that. The strings aren't that good by themselves. Live and learn.

Same here, cant find any use of HZ strings.

...with the sFX drowning out a lot, especially in the low end :-D. I did enjoy the credits roll though when there was just the music. To appreciate hz work you need to listen to the music in the depth dimension, and appreciate the intent that goes into all the ornamental expressive things. This...

...in the real world. The main sticking point is the near-nulls combined with the noise. Imagine a dry signal recorded in such a way that the 1000 Hz component nearly cancels, say it's down 20dB. If any noise at all is present (and it will be), the attempt to reconstruct by deconvolving will...

...and once some of the frequencies that stick out are tamed, your mix will shine. I'm hearing issues roughly around 102, 260, 512 and 2100 HZ, the 2100 HZ one is a particular resonance that could be an issue if your track becomes louder. about 1.7-2 DB reduction in the 102 HZ area should give...

HZ perc can get very close and the new OT Monolith library

...it lets you modulate its own internal parameters more than Stepic and it also lets you run the individual sequencer lanes at different speeds in Hz! I dont think Stepic has that altho I did put it in as a feature request. All of those are fantastic sequencers (I use all of these in Reaper -...

No, at least not that I know of As far as I’m aware it was always LG, he is Nolan’s guy now, Hans personally recommended him for TENET after all. Hans is with Denis, Ludwig is with Nolan. Honestly I think it’s worked out perfectly

My understanding was he was going to have HZ for Oppenheimer but he was tied up with Dune.

So with my zebra hz, I have assigned faders to the xy pads so I can modulate them, but I’m looking for recommendations on a good controller so I can use the pads more effectively

Hi all, I'm not sure if this is the correct place to be posting this but it's a question regarding release tail control for SSO perc. In HZ Perc I can easily go into Kontakt and use the wrench to go under the hood and reduce release tails under the modulation section making HZ perc a really...

No, according to the current Soundonsound article they also used the Osmose and the EaganMatrix synth quite a bit. https://www.soundonsound.com/techniques/dune-hans-zimmer-friends

Wonder which parts of the Dune 2 soundtrack are The Legend HZ... I'd guess it's not the only synth (t)he(y) used....

Hans totally should bruh. A chune with a disrespectful Minimoog on steroids in it would be appropriate. I will always remember Fabian as the overexcited Legend lover he was….

Damn, bruh, that's a bummer. At the very least HZ should prob write him a dodgy musical eulogy for contributing to his premature demise due to FOMO induced anticipatory anxiety. Perhaps KS will name his first LHZ preset after him.

dangit and I don't need to spend money right now. But I already got HZ Percussion and Joby Burgess Percussion.

Having both and using hzp a crap ton, no. Monolith has a lot more going for it for the top end variety that HZP yearns for. You can achieve something similar already, and usually with lots of jxl or a custom mix but it doesn't have the sheer amount of layers upon layers of similar sounding...

...also a low pass and high pass. Get used to playing with them too. remember everything you record is going to be making your DAW work to reproduce it. Nobody on the planet needs 6k and above on distorted guitars. Likewise who in there right mind would record a hi hat below 300 hz ?? Best ed

Ah, this has to be taken into account too..! I like SA mixes in their other libraries cause they are really awesome most of the time and save RAM and time while sounding very good..!

...are different, and some instruments are so different that you could think they are entirely different instruments. When you compare Monolith to HZP (Pro), you can hear that both are recorded in the same location. It has different instruments and playing techniques, but the distinct character...

Yes. HZ Professional is basically a repackage of HZ01 & HZ03. HZ Standard edition is a cut down version with all the instruments but only the Hans Zimmer Close/Room/Surround mixes. Which are wonderful, BTW, but not as "in your face" as the Meyerson and JunkieXL close mixes.

Honestly never tried out the HZ mixes, I started using the JXL mixes as soon as I got it and stuck with those, but I could take a listen to both of them side by side and get back to you on how they differ and what things you could do to get similar results

I might just need to spend more time with Monolith but so far I still prefer HZP, it’s just a sound I know so well and have been working with for years now. The JXL mixes are the ones I’ve always used and right off the bat they’re much punchier and bigger sounding to my ears than Monolith is...

I disagree with this characterisation. To my ears, the Tom Meyerson and Junkie XL close mics/mixes in HZ Perc are every bit as present and defined as the demos of Monolith. I don't own Monolith, so I can't do a true side-by-side, but I'd only really say Monolith sounds more present/defined than...

I'd say this sounds more "present" than the base version/ Hans Zimmer mixes of HZ Perc, but the Professional Version's Alan Meyersen and JunkieXL mixes do the detail/"forward" sound just as well as the demos seem to indicate in Monolith. I'd definitely recommend checking out the "Comparing...

HZP has a darker sound, more rolled off, boomy and quite reverberant. Monolith I would say is more impactful, present, and a lot more definition in the close mics. But still plenty of the gorgeous hall as well. I would generally suggest Monolith first, then HZP if you wanted that specific flavor.

I always wanted to get HZ Percussion someday, been waiting for a good sale))) Now comes this..! Is there anyone here who has both and can compare?? :)

Thank you!! You are truly the GOAT of KSP.

...my hardware stuff lmao. With that said, Phase Plant has managed to become my synth of choice most of the time, even though i have Zebra 2 + HZ, Diva, Repro, Serum, Omnisphere, Synthmaster and a whole fucking bunch more that i probably forgot about. It is just fun and easy to make complex...

...range correlates to the actual frequency displayed on the Cutoff knob. Basically it's in MIDI note numbers then converted to frequency in Hz. You can invert this math to go from Hz to engine par value. on init declare ui_value_edit $Fc (0, 1000000, 1) declare ui_label $L (1, 1)...

As far as I know, working with K5, there is no one-size-fits-all when it comes to setting a filter/eq to an exakt Hz-value, since different filters have different ranges, and maybe also not a linear distribution.... I am now on K7, but I haven't found an answer in the KSP reference yet. I am...

...will tend to exaggerate the treble, while convolution reverbs (based on IRs from real rooms, that is) will tend to have less top-end, due to the physics of sound. A lo-cut at 100 Hz on a reverb send might be sensible on most sources; hi-cuts totally depend on the context, any "rule" is pointless.

...airy tone which really helped sell the desert feeling. All in all a great soundtrack which really did utilize the strength of the full music team. Although I can already hear fucking wailing banshees on everything now...as is the HZ effect on the industry. Looking forward to hearing the...

Yes, that’s true, but that’s not what The Legend is trying to be, I’m strictly talking about the Moog parts of Diva and nothing else. When we break it down to just that, I’m picking The Legend

Except, for me, if legend hz is just legend on steroids, diva does so much more flavours of emulations. rsp

i Have downloaded the session provided... i am going to tweak the sounds even more ;) i have been browzing the HZ zebra presets that i have from howard scar URS and hans zimmer..and ive been able to identify some percussion sounds by going to initial presets..and i also honed in on that...

...all-time favourite movie soundtracks. Yes, it sounds a bit dated in places, but it immediately transports you to another world. I'm a big fan of HZ, but Dune (1 and 2) is not my favourite work of his. I understand why he decided not to go with traditional western instruments, but I find...

Wikipedia: "Many modern ensembles which specialize in the performance of Baroque music have agreed on a standard of A = 415 Hz. An exact equal-tempered semitone lower than 440 Hz would be 415.305 Hz, though this is rounded to the nearest integer for simplicity and convenience. In principle this...

Chromaphone is also good for this sort of thing. There's a video where Richard Devine says he used it to make UI sounds for Google or something. I've gotten good results with the comb filters in Zebra 2 vanilla to create stuff that reminds of talking drums, bongos, etc. This is a preset from my...

...in a real classical orchestra this seemed intuitive. I don’t see how this can be replaced by AI. Neither would AI replace a Snow Owl, Tina Guo or HZ. I think composers need to get out more and just do stage productions. This might be a way forward? Or maybe visit to some Samois sur Seine...

...powerful CPUs can be quiet. Not as silent as processors used in modern MACS (closer to tablets), but those are so limited that I can understand HZ is not using them. At home we have a MacPro 2019, not mine (this one admits large memory), and it is very quiet. But my PC is much quieter. In...

...how shitty it sounds just the DI, and then add the plugin, start from there tweaking the DI signal, yes, you need to use a Hipass Filter to cut 60Hz to 85 Hz because singles have always more bass than humbuckers. LoPass may be used too if you get some piercing high end. And Finally, the...

I’ll just slum it and stick with Jerry Goldsmith and Bernard Herrmann, two guys who only won a single Oscar. Or some concert composers like Shostakovich, Ravel, Bartok and Lutoslawski. 🙄

I should've clarified - this era's JW and HZ are JW.ai and HZ.ai 😉

To me it sounds like a distorted double-bass.

Anyone have any guesses as to what HZ put together to achieve that bass? It almost sounds like the throat singing from Dune 1 is mixed in there.

...performance patches for the strings and woodwinds (piccolo flute and flutes a2). The heavy lifting, though, is done by the consord blend patches in the strings library. I just love those. To be fair, this is also layered with HZ Strings and the more recent Abbey Road Orchestra violins and...

...design seems flawed to me, because it only compares a higher frequency tuning to a lower frequency tuning, but to validate the claim that 432 hz is "the best" there would need to be even lower frequency tunings in the sample set. And in the abstract I also see no mention of the keys the music...

this one is very interesting and aimed towards a medical, biological point of view. Who knows how many tracks I have composed in this frequency not knowing about this fact. Perhaps Ambient music is such a genre.

Interesting article, but 432 Hz is not only esoteric nonsense ;-) https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31031095/

Got me interested there about that frequency and this is what I found. Verdi is also mentioned in this article along with others, but it seems for different reasons. https://ask.audio/articles/music-theory-432-hz-tuning-separating-fact-from-fiction
