Hi alltogether,
wow… so much to read and translate
First of all - thanks for the comments, suggestions and tips.
Its great for me to read this because this could really help me to become better.
Yes - with this peace I startet to try out orchestration - and ok… perhaps not perfect but that’s why I posted it here - to get suggestions on how to make it sound more realistic.
The Toms are very powerful - you are right… wanted to let 'em bang but perhaps this was too much
You didn’t notice the piano… it starts at 1:20 together with the harp (to make it sound thicker).
The “gong” at the end are just 2 big cymbals together with piano and harp.
I have 94 MIDI Tracks - not instruments - so you understood it wrong… VSTi instruments in the Rack and in the VE are less than 30.
I split for example drums in several tracks or divide Automation from MIDI Tracks.
So on the next song I will try to take care of all those things you mentioned and hopefully make it better then (perhaps even on this one… but I’m unsure - it’s a lot of work to make everything nearly new, cause the original Song that was cut for the trailer has a length of 6:19)
Regards
Chris
