a piece for strings

**oldbob** · 10-07-2010, 10:36 AM

hi all, I'd like you to listen to this piece I am developing. It's a rather classical kind of composition, rather serious I mean, but anyway here it is, it's temporarily called "misgiving", thank you

hello roberto,

once again a great piece of music. I liked the melodies and the struction of composition very much...especially that "hermannesque" style from 02:08 on. acousticwise/reverbwise I thought the strings could have been placed more convincing in a small room acoustics, the strings were kinda too upfront at the speaker. but might be you didn't focus so much on that. did you play the tune by hand in a sequecer or did you realize it with a a notation prog? which library did you use?.

greetings

thanks a lot Wolf, when you have the time, please listen to this second version, where I have added more reverb, and most important I have changed the harmonic content of the central part as it sounded a bit disjointed with the rest. I'm willing to continue reworking this until I'm satisfied...

Hi Wolf

I will put my money on this being Cinematic Strings! I'll stick my neck out and say the warmth is immediately recognisable and stands apart from other libraries - regardless of sophistication, marketing hype and cost. Roberto has put them to great use in this and produced a composition and sound rarely achieved or heard in the sample world. If I'm wrong and it's not CS, I'll still congratulate OldBob for a superb contribution - and will give full credit in advance to the makers of the library involved.

Regards, Graham

Wolf, sorry I forgot to answer your questions! Yes, as I always do I have played every track live in Logic, notation programs are too static for what my experience has been... the library is "cinematic strings"

kind regards
