Here's a mockup of an excerpt from Rhapsody in Blue. I welcome any thoughts or commentary about the mix, balance etc. I'm hoping this sounds like an orchestra seated in front of you. Did I get there?
This is the first time I've actually used all the sections of the Berlin Main libraries together, though this didn't have percussion. The simple Tree mic position ended up sounding the best.
The solo violin part at the beginning is meant to be played by the concert master. I used Emotional Violin and some reverb to set it back a bit (hoping it landed in the violin section!). I wonder if it sounds like someone seated in the orchestra.
The piano is featured in this piece, so I tried to make it sound as if it were sitting in front of the orchestra.
