dummy Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 I was just playing around with some samples to get them sounding okay and testing things when I made this. I get told a lot that my style sounds very Danny Elfmanish, so I went full out and shamelessly ripped him off for this piece - It's not meant to be taken seriously. | SoundCloudIt's Haunted Graveyard from Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts. I've not played in years so I went from ear by watching a YouTube playthrough video. I consider it finished but I'd definitely be interested in thoughts/opinions/crits in regards to the samples and the realism of the piece. One problem I already have with it is that the tuba doesn't sit well in the mix - it sounds too close as if the tuba dude is sitting on the cello dude's lap. Anything other observations/ideas are welcome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceace Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Dude, this is incredible! I don't have a lot of experience with orchestra arrangements, (Aside from the honer bands that I participated in high school) but from what I can tell, the production quality is superb. Unfortunately, I haven't had any experience with the ghouls and ghosts franchise, but with music like that I might try to see if I can play it some time. I've always wanted to try my hand at working with this style of music, but I don't think FL Studio would be a good place to start. Are you doing all of this with samples, or do have a VST? Anyway, this was really fun to listen to. Awesome work, man! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dummy Posted July 14, 2012 Author Share Posted July 14, 2012 Thanks! Glad you liked it. I actually use FL Studio so it's definitely capable of making this kind of music with the right plugins/samples. This piece was all samples running through Kontakt 5. Quite a few libraries were used (video description has the full list) and also custom recordings chucked in to add a bit more realism. Thanks again for the kind words! Really appreciate it.

Chernabogue Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Man, you're my hero, I love your videos. I love the Elfman vibe you got here. The Beetlejuice cameo at the end was perfect. I love this track. However, it may be too much of a cover for OCR, IMO. Maybe adding other new parts would help. Nice job and keep making awesome orchestra stuff!!
