Thank you Jeff, means a lot coming from you. All the best to you, good luck on your up coming work and have a merry christmas!

Thank you so much!

Thanks man, appreciate it..! New epic piece coming up in near future, keep an eye out :) Cheers

Thanks!

Thank you!

@@viktorritchey try spinning thats a good trick

Thank you!

Thank you! From start to finish this took eons… but that’s beacuse this was one of the first orchestral pieces i did when i was learning to work in logic. I’m still in a learning process, but i’d say that a composition like this would take me about 40 hours from first note to final result now. All the best

Thank you for the kind words! :)

@@chuckmacnorris9613 lol, thanks! But I don’t think we are quite on Bream/Williams level 😊

@@viktorritchey Modest. On this recording, to my ears. You are above their level in recording, and equal to their level in playing the song.

@@kennethjackson4858 thanks for the comment! I worked with classical music all my life. Classical guitar as my main instrument. Im also a assistent professor at the RCM in Stockholm and teach music theory, so I’ve learned a thing or two about orchestration in my work. But mainly I’ve learned it by my self, using my ears and trying different things, understanding how the orchestra and the different instruments work. Cheers!

Thanks for your feedback! I'll try to answer your questions: - I start by programming the Pacific strings, violin 1, violin 2, viola, cello and bass, because they are a bit faster to program (since they have only one legato speed i can use -127 track delay an put everything on the grid, and it is exactly in time to the metronome, super easy!). I muse both mics and very little EQ processing, maybe a tine bit reduction 1 or 2 db around 3000 and around 300-500. I then copy everything over to CSS and do some more programming there, fine tune the legatotransitions etc. I go about 60-40 in volume. 60% CSS and 40 Pacific. I also use more reverb on pacific than on CSS. Sometimes I aso use an Pacific ensemble patch on top of everything, dont think I did that here though.

The CSS i use quite a lot more eq. I'm using some parts of a template that is called "Colossal" that is specificly made to the cinematic studio series, just google it. But i'm not actually using it as intended. Basicly i'm taking away lots of mid range. Like 3-6 db:s from 200-5000, a little more in some places and a little less. Basicly CSS are to dark when played together with the other instruments in the orchestra.

@@viktorritchey I know the collossal project template but I didn't buy it, I like the sound of it. The eq of cinesaga template seems better to me ( do you know cinesaga ? ) and less CPU overall.....I check new master score from collossal and they layering more and more libraries now. They re still using ccs series as a prime library but more others libraries like cinesamples are used to create more real orchestral result.

More eq, more layering and more plugins to change the original sound of the sampke is not always the best to do...that s way I m very interesting to see step by step you mixing procedure and effects you are using in a video 👍

@@stevefida3858 I believe that you can use a lot of plugins to tweek the sound, for example i use 3-4 kind of different compressors. But a very small amount on everything, nothing over the top, but together they add up and really shapes the sound in a positive way.

Thank you so much for the kind words! Havn't really considered making videos talking about my process. Maybe I I'll do that down the line :) It's an interesting idea!

@@heart_of_a_Celt thank you for the comment!

@@micksworldofdrums thank you!

@@PhantomX141291 thank you so much! 😊

Thanks for the feedback. I'm not very familiar with other libraries except BBC and MUSIO brass, and i think that CSB is a class above them imho, espessially when thinking about the versitility. But it'd be exciting to try another real good brass library..!

@@viktorritchey Yes you are right with that, but Cinebrass imo is a class about CSB in terms of the soundquality. CSB is better overall and you can do more with it, has more dynamic layers. I can recommend Infinite brass, the sound is superb and you get all instruments with unmatched consistency across all instruments. The library has only 4 dynamic layers but these layers are capable of creating seamless transitions between dynamic levels through Continuous Dynamic Transition (CDT), making the playing experience very expressive and flexible, even with a limited number of layers. It also layers very well with other libraries!
