soundyg Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Hey there, I'm thinking of submitting this piece, and would be curious to get some opinions on it. It's an orchestral rendition of various themes from RDR infused with a bit of a rock vibe here and there. Getting brass samples to sound good is the holy grail for me, so I'd appreciate getting some insights into how off the mark I am.

brynolf11 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Never heard the original but well done! Brass sounds god overall. Some faster runs stumbles a bit. Strings sound good, maybe a bit widely panned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundyg Posted March 19, 2020 Author Share Posted March 19, 2020 Cheers mate. There is a bit of variance (early/late notes) thrown into some of the notation in an effort to make it sound believable, but perhaps it's overdone. Is it the violins (left) or the cellos/bass (right) that you think sounds overly panned? Thanks for the feedback! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brynolf11 Posted March 19, 2020 Share Posted March 19, 2020 Regarding the stumbling brass, it mostly has to do with the attack time of the samples being too long for the speed you want them to play. The panning issue is most obvious in the low strings to the right. I know that's where they are sitting in the orchestra, but at least in headphones it sticks out a bit too much IMO. soundyg 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
