    YoungProdigy got a reaction from HoboKa in Do you really need super realistic instruments to be a video game composer?   
    Over the years, I've been composing a lot of music as a hobby. I might want to get into freelance composing. But one critique I've often heard is that the samples I use aren't realistic enough. Do you really need super realistic samples to be a video game composer?
    I mean I've seen a lot of very successful games where the music obviously wasn't made with realistic samples; such as Sonic Mania, Shovel Knight and various indie games.
    So I guess my question is, do I really need ultra realistic sample libraries to get into game composing?

    YoungProdigy got a reaction from TheChargingRhino in "A Formidable Enemy", my first song in EWQLSO.   
    When I said "I have listened to real orchestral arrangements", I meant that I understand how real orchestras are arranged.
    I agree with most of your feedback though. The samples in EWQL seem to have reverb on them by default. So when I load up samples, they automatically have reverb.
    My notes definitely could use some quantization.
    I don't think I should aim for a "real orchestra" sound with these samples. There's simply not enough convincing samples and scripts to do that.
    However, I fully agree that more can be done to make it sound less like a midi.
    I think my goal should be to write something "similar" to a real orchestra, but not 100% exact. So I should aim to have "similar" expressiveness to a real orchestra; but not 100% of the expressiveness of a real orchestra.
