Hi all !
I'll present myself quickly, my name is Alexis, 24o, composer for short films, films, video games ads..
I have a thesis to write for my graduation with the theme of orchestral instruments in DAW: what possibilities does the DAW tool offer in orchestra?
I would make comparisons with the acoustic orchestra then, but the goal is to really show that the DAW tool, especially in orchestra, can bring huge possibilities of creations and thus offers lots of openings to new instrument textures.
Also, I therefore address to the professional composers, I would have a few questions to ask you, and I will be very grateful if you could have the time to answer it !
1 / What does the DAW tool provide you in comparison of recording an orchestral instrument directly in the studio?
2 / From a more creative point of view, what does the DAW tool brings you in terms of composition? Do you only use samples to traditionally mix or are you trying to create new textures and thus get your own sound banks?
3 / How do you work in front of a new composition on your computer? How will you proceed to simulate the orchestral instruments (their playing, expression, etc.)
4 / In short, can you bring me your opinion concerning the possibilities offered by the DAW tool in orchestra and tell me the differences you would have with an acoustic instrument ?
Thank you in advance for the attention you can give me for my subject, it would help me a lot!
