Hans Zimmer - A Radical Notion - Mock-up

[quickbrownf0x]

Allright guys,

Here's my first attempt at mocking up something by ear in almost 2 decades. Had a blast. As expected - getting the synths right turned out to be the biggest challenge for me; still not 100% happy and the mix isn't stellar, but my head's about to fall off from trying to get there. So time for a break and some reflection. Maybe someone else'd like to give it a shot?

But a big thanks to @brenneisen, @miket, @Rob and @Bluemount Score for helping me out. Those brass stabs are the sh*t!
Just for sh*ts and giggles I'll tag @Rctec as well.

Libraries used are;
- Cinematic Studio (Solo) Strings/Brass
- Spitfire Studio Strings/Brass Pro
- OT JXL Brass
- u-he Zebra2, DarkZebra, Hive
- Albion One (Percussion/Easter Island....)
- Spitfire Percussion

Anyway, here it is. Let me know what you think.

Oh, and here's the reference track.



Cheers,
qbf.

Ah, didn't realize you were trying to recreate the synth pulse for a full mock-up. Sounds pretty good man!

Thanks. Yeah, a few days ago I think I came closer to it, but then I f*cked up, took a left turn somewhere and couldn't get it back. Should've left it alone, haha. It sounds too thin/tinny if you ask me.

Still thanks for the help
