Hiya,
As a big fan of Alan Silvestri and Predator, I had a pop at mocking up one of the cues from the score with a bunch of libraries.
Was a really useful learning tool. It contains great orchestration and a heck of a lot of mileage from small ideas thrown around the orchestra.
Harmony is interesting too - a constant structure of Gm, Em, C#m, Bbm and back round. So Minor chords a minor 3rd apart, but inverted so there's voice leading and they feel musical.
Libraries used:
Strings: Spitfire Audio Chamber Strings, LA-SS Lite, Orchestral Tools Berlin Strings EXP E SFX.
Woodwinds: Spitfire Audio Symphonic Woodwinds / Albion Woodwind
Brass: Cinesamples Cinebrass Core, Spitfire Audio Albion Brass
Percussion: Spitfire Joby Burgess Percussion, Fluffy Audio Log Drum, Xtant Audio Slit Drum
Pianos: Cinesamples Abbey Road & Spitfire Albion Piano
Harp: Orchestral Tools - Symphonic Sphere
Synths: Omnisphere
FX: Waves EQ, Izotope Vinyl, T-racks, U-he Satin
