So I've found myself in a position where I'm having to write in both Cubase (my preferred) and Logic. Is it possible for me to have a template loaded on my PC in Vepro and have it playable on either Cubase (on same pc) or on my mac? I expect this is straightforward enough with either being used...

This is right up my street. If you're still looking, send me a pm and we can talk it through. Very cool piece

Is it possible to have a separate key editor window that only shows expression maps? I can hide the expression maps so I can see my parts clearly but I was hoping I might be bale to have the articulation lanes open on another screen so they don't have to be tiny..... Any ideas?

Thanks. Panning was one thing I was paying closer attention to when making notes on the actual recording. Most of the ost mix is on the dry side to my ears but feels very wide, the brass in particular. Interestingly, it seems AS uses an unconventional layout when recording (there's 2 tubas-...

Thanks man. Woods, Brass and Strings are all Spitfire Symphonic. Timps, bass drum and cymbals are HZ Percussion. Sus. Cymbal, Glock and Vibes are True Strike. Harp is Kontakt's own. Choir is Lacrimosa Piano is Rhapsody Grand by Waves.

Hi folks, not typically in the habit of posting things like this but since we're in lockdown, I had a little more time on my hands. I was redoing my template and thought I could kill two birds with one stone and have a look at the orchestration of one of my favourite cues from the Avengers...

Not yet... probably soon though 😊

Transient master still for sale?

From memory the build I was looking at is around £2800

I'm looking to get a new pc and my eye was caught with the 3XS TBX299. I've tweaked it to have larger storage and more ram. I use cubase, pro tools and vepro and it would be for a mix of orchestral and audio work. I'll probably use my current machine as a slave and split some of the sample...

Interested Paul. Just need to check they'd be compatible.

That title....

Piano reamps very well....

Just got the HM Sayl and it is pretty awesome....

☝️ a Kemper and a mission expression pedal....

What's the costs?

The short answer is no....

I have huge respect for SF for how they've conducted this event...It is quite refreshing to see a company that seems to care how they engage with customers. For anyone that missed the live stream for tombola CH actually misread a number aloud and committed to honour the prize for both tickets -...

I still love my Bop Pad .....highly recommend!

Update 're my last point straight from KM: Windows has a problem with connecting MIDI ports and sending to multiple clients simultaneously. It's a known error on their end, but there's nothing we can do about it. They should be updating their OS soon to take advantage of the new multi-client...

Quite happy to try them out

Yeah it really is. I just spent 4 hours using it to trigger a synth and it put down patterns that I could never play on keys. The editor is simple and intuitive. Choose what note you want each quadrant to be and save. Can have all the same if you like. Choose which cc data gets sent in addition...

The mount fits like a glove and holds it solidly in place. I'm very impressed with this bit of kit- it's responsive, sleek, nice to the touch, doesn't have any false triggering and can send cc data.

I'll post a pic shortly....its wafer thin so it actually works quite well/quietly sitting flat on a desk or if playing hand perc type stuff, placed on the knees. The mount itself is solid and fits on am 8mm thread.

Apologies if there's a thread....but I just wanted to say I picked up one of these the other day and it's outstanding :) J

Thanks man...I blame Satnam

Bravo

Thanks Adam A totally different vibe....https://indi.com/9636c

Adam, That is bloody great! I have also done a version but totally different philosophy to you. I thought they were looking less for originality and more rearrangment. I did mine off the back of catch the Hans Zimmer live tour and thought about how it might sounded had it been part of the...

I do plan to pick up pro tools for the next project. More so now that reel 1 is 15Gig and I've a further 7 reels to render...

I had asked them and they suggested either was suitable.

Hi Folks, Pardon my ignorance...Im delivering stems next week and was wondering if I could pick the collective brains? I've been working in reels and there is anywhere between 4 to 10 cues on a reel. The first couple are pretty densely written and some of the later reels have large gaps...

I'd also say that there's one scene I remember which I assume has the cue Lightning strikes which is expertly close to the temp and there's at least one forum member we (should) thank for inspiring it!

I've not seen the film yet (since they finished it) but I saw it with the temp. In isolation the temp had a whole bunch of my favourite modern score but I'm glad they went in the direction they did as having heard the music, it entirely nails what I remember imagining.

Got the reels. Got started. Got new edit and got very happy I'd asked for the reels I'm a week away from making it out alive...

Just about to start on a feature and they've given me the full edit minus any reels (they had said they wanted to work in reels - as did I). Would you chop up the picture yourself, save multiple projects with the entire video file or go back and ask for the reels?

Caught the show in Birmingham last year and it's one of the most enjoyable shows I've been to (also caught JW) last year....just picked up another couple with meet and greet for the summer. @Rctec Glasgow is a lovely place to be!

I think it's important to note that a character/plot device can be represented by a texture/colour/sound....a cello scraped with a blade for example. Jigsaw in saw is another example.

What is the start date for it ?

I'm not sure what they are...I've purposely stopped adding up the price of gear and just pass the receipts to someone else. Can pick up good as new secondhand for about 800/1400 though (a friend just sold his)

What wonderful wood is this?

Where are you based ?

I saw this at airport and considered it during 16 hours of in-flight films. Whilst I agree there is a prevailing trend of non-memorable melodies, I don't think it's anywhere near as bad as some suggest. An interesting aside, I gave feedback on a big budget first cut recently which still has...

Bump

Hey dude....Not so far....

Folks, I'll be in LA for a bit at the end of this month. If anyone fancies meeting up for a beer or is working on anything and wouldn't mind me shadowing/sitting in .. I'll mostly be in and around Beverly Hills/Santa Monica, Hollywood and Studio City.

Don't suppose there are any scoring sessions in August?

Guys I finally found time to sit down and and work on the piece using a lot of the knowledge and skills shared by members. The first version is on my soundcloud for comparison

I'd like to think that the massive production on this tour and the card/programme/download idea is indicative that it was also filmed for a commercial release......anyone seen, read or heard anything?

OP, I have treated lenses (from boots actually) which appear to have a purple hue to them - they actually soften computer screens which I find quite nice. I don't wear them all the time, but as I enjoy writing in a darkened room some times, it can be quite useful....

How's wotan working for you?

Watching this thread....very interested in 1 + upgrade

Thanks Chris I thought that might help wasn't sure how to to do it. I'll go back in and figure it out :)

The DWTD intro makes use of CH violin

I'm enjoying it...some of the faster stuff still sounds a little synthetic so if anyone's overcome this, I'm all ears.... I'll post a user demo soon...

To be honest, I'd have been severely dissapointed if it'd been the typical orchestral concert. For me, the tracks played lend themselves to nothing less than large soundscapes. The lighting was equally as good- and one of the best I've seen. The use of streamers and punches was superb. And...

I've got a feeling the Wembley gig was filmed :)

I started writing a cue today which I'll be using it for. Expecting a locked picture tomorrow with a deadline of next week so I'll hold off just now...

Is this available yet? I need a good solo violin pronto...

+ 1 on the Ebow - anything with a string will resonate (pretty sure it was an ebow/overdrive/delay and a chello for the constantine sountrack. A guitar with delay and a distortion which can be swelled in can achieve quite the sound.

Driving down next week to catch it at Birmingham...

Yeah its the 15th I'm driving down from Scotland for. Not sure how 'up close' it'll be....it's a huge venue. I missed JW at Hollywood bowl last time so extended my trip...

Hi Mark Firstly, both are very good libraries and are more flexible than I first thought. If you're going for one of the two, I'd recommend Symphobia first given your intended use. The multis are particularly useful for writing quickly and are arranged by theme- action, suspense etc.

Catching John Williams in LA in September and Hans Zimmer in Birmingham in two weeks. Anyone else heading to see HZ ? J

Albion One for percussion?

Awesome work.

Cheers guys. I'm learning new stuff every day and plan to sit down and go back and tweak both taking note of the suggestions. Wrote up a very short piano/string thing earlier if anyone's bored. Again, written largely on paper to work on that....

Added my second sketch to soundcloud and would appreciate any opinions of anyone with 2 and a half minutes to spare :)

Guys.. Just about finished my second sketch and would appreciate any and all feedback. It's called 'it's a signal'. Bonus to anyone that gets the reference. https://soundcloud.com/john-colin-mcfarlane J

Literally just fell across this thread after booking my accomodation for August if anyone is about and willing to meet up/take me to work for the day :D J

Thank you. Still finding my feet with a lot of this so your advice is appreciated.

Not quite sure what that means...Could I ask ?

Faith restored! Outstanding display of customer service!

Thanks guys. I'm just finding my feet with this. I've got Albion One and Symphobia. Both have been useful so far but will be looking to pick up one or two that are no ensembles...

The voucher received todqy was a nice touch but I would have preferred to have waited and got the symphonic pack!

The 2016 edition of Symphobia has just been reduced by €100....annoyingly I bought it last week but I've received a €100 Euro voucher......what should I buy? Was looking at truestrike or orchestral brass classic. What would you buy if you had the voucher?

Thanks guys - perfectly valid comments and precisely why I posted here :D ...

Hi everyone, For those that don't know me, my background is that of a stage and studio musician (guitars). In the interest of pushing myself further, I've decided to study composition and orchestration and begin writing music for myself. As an avid film lover, it only made sense to go for a...

Or send me the part and I'll play it. Bin the amps and buy a kemper

https://soundcloud.com/john-colin-mcfarlane Be honest- I can take it :)

Thanks guys. I've just realised theres no link! Though my soundcloud was in my signature. I feel strangely uneasy about people hearing it- a feeling I've not had for about 18 years!

Hi guys.... I've been lurking on here for a few weeks and soaking up as much advice as I can. I've been a musician for as long as I can remember predominately playing other people's music for them on stage and in the studio. I've been a film lover for longer. As a way to keep things fresh and...
