Ok, thanks! |

Yes, that's sounds, to my ears, really good. Or maybe I'm just an amateur when it comes to this stuff. |

when it comes to what? |

Well, you know, electronic-but-sounding-realistic kind of things. :P |

Hahaha! I'd pay money, though, if that was the actual beginning of a film. It'd be the perfect intro. No music, no presentation. Just like it is. Beautiful. |

kontakt 2 is the best software sampler in my opinion, and this is a really great sample pack your average bedroom musician can't afford these sample packs, but if you look hard enough you will find them for download |

and i think kontakt 3 is the newest version actually |

Ah. Times have gone by. Ages past since that thread. Personally, I find good multisample sets are going to be your best bet for realistic sounding instruments. Physical modeling can only go so far. Here is an interesting thread on Analog Industries about Karplus-Strong synthesis This is how some people get semi-realistic string and mallet style sounds in their music. Seems like a fun practice even if its not going to be very useful all of the time. Anyone can do this with a few vst plugins and a DAW, or even just basic audio editing software. Following the links can lead you to other interesting articles about wavetables and other physical modeling technology. Insofar as to realistic sounding 'orchestral' tools; : make some synthedit plugins that actually do a lot of good. Mixes physical modeling with samples. All orchestral style instruments. I use magnus choir regularly. Watch the interfaces though, they need to hire a designer. : these guys make *amazing* multi-sample libraries of really neat things. Some obscure asian percussive instruments. The bowed piano sample bank is absolutely fantastic. Eastwest makes a lot of good 'standard' mulitsample libraries. Avoid Ueberschall; they seem obsessed with their "elastic technology" which sucks the life out of everything it touches. Lot more stuff to name... maybe I will pull out my book and drop some references of other good things, but those are the names that stand out right now. |

Symphobia is awesome for strings and brass. EWQL is great for everything else. Vienna I haven't tried much, but all my orchestral comps are done in symphobia and ewql. |

Larn: Thanks, man, I'll check it out! Taxidermist: I just noticed that Soniccouture has a gamelan library, and now I'm sitting here listening to it, and it feels like a bolt of lightning to my head. I love this stuff. I absolutely love this stuff. Thank you so much for all those links. I'll check them all out. Again, thank you. cx: Indeed, I'm still waiting for your ''. :D I can't find 'rachel's dream 1' on the computer, but I do remember I was really impressed with the quality of the strings. Man, I feel I've been out of the loop, so to speak. I had no idea some of these things existed at all. It's almost overwhelming. I felt like punching a hole through the wall when I first heard the gamelans. I need to get this stuff. All of it. Alright, so, first Kontakt 2 or 3. Aargh, I need a break. It's X-files on tv. Yeah, that'll do. Thank you, people! Thanks! |
