I wanted to tried my hand at a quick bombastic track mockup, so I went with recreating "Don't Be Afraid" from the Final Fantasy VIII original soundtrack :
It's a quick rundown of the piece, I'm not used to orchestrating already existing pieces, and I'm not sold on what I've done with the very fast brass/winds staccatos, I think I should have went with a blend of multitongue and staccatos.
Everything is Mix1 except long strings which might have had some spills and amb mics added, some short brass like trumpets are Mix2 too I think.
There are some additional compressors and light EQs, no external reverb.
And here's the wav if you can't stand what Soundcloud does to sound : https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3pnhh37p90d4jo/Don%27t%20Be%20Afraid%20-%20BBCSO%20Orchestral%20Mockup%20Test.wav?dl=0 (https://www.dropbox.com/s/r3pnhh37p90d4jo/Don't Be Afraid - BBCSO Orchestral Mockup Test.wav?dl=0)
