Re: Cinematique Instruments / Grand Harp
Yes it's strange there have been a lot of new harp VIs but not one has copied Spitfire's idea of a "slid" articulation. The Spitfire harp is still #1 for glissandos because they actually sampled how the string would be played (more like brushed) inside the context of a gliss. With this, yo...

Wow the Heavyocity ensembles sound seriously impressive. The ability to move individual hits around the soundstage is cool too. Thanks for bringing this to my attention Thomas!

Re: What's up in the world of cinematic percussion? Looking for specific recommendation...
Thanks for the thoughts so far! Listening back to some of the existing score I think I can narrow it down a bit more for you guys - 1. Definitely a lot of big, thuddy "War drums" - not taikos - I suppose "Transformers" is a good reference as well as Pirates 2. Some eth perc - Asi...

What's up in the world of cinematic percussion? Looking for specific recommendation...
Hey all, I just got onboarded onto a project that has a lot of swashbuckling, militaristic writing with blocky string+brass orchestrations. Think like the first three Pirates scores. I'm well covered for str/brs but need a new perc library. Hopefully not something that will take me 4 days to learn t...

Re: Unintentionally hilarious promo vid for (yet another) trailer library
I actually really like trailer/hybrid music, especially the stuff written by Mark Petrie, Daniel James, James Everingham, Jasper Blunk, and a few others. The music shown in the original video definitely isn't a good example of this style of music. The buildups and epic conclusions have to be earned,...

Re: Unintentionally hilarious promo vid for (yet another) trailer library
I skimmed through Don Bodin's walkthrough of Atlantica (the library in the vid). IMO, these sounds tend to either the "generic," or worse "mild." Keep in mind I couldn't design a bramm like these to save my life but throughout his walkthrough I was thinking "Yep, that's what...

Unintentionally hilarious promo vid for (yet another) trailer library
I assume this looks "epic" to laypeople.... but I couldn't help busting a laugh at this guy nearly spraining his fingers "playing" one-shot, one-layer samples.

Re: Musical Sampling / Trailer Strings
Yeah I raved about the 1st demo on VIC but I'm much less enamored after hearing the walkthrough. The sound is nice and aggressive but there's something off about the releases - too fast and dry. Together with the limited artics, the "Do I really need another string lib" factor, and the fac...
