woodwinds

So, I have been a huge fan of Violet Evergarden and all it's OSTs especially those composed by Evan Call. The sound an feelings that some of his compositions give off are just magical. Some of them sound light but also deep at the same time and it's one of my goals to try and emulate those...

With the brass upon us, what are you dreaming about for the woodwinds? Personally, I’d love a series of beautifully sampled soloists for lead themes, plus practical gestures and runs to help blend into the first 2 chapters of the orchestra.

nooninstruments.com ---- Toska is a palette of evolving, atmospheric textures created from multi-layered, imperfect performances. A unique combination of analog synths, brass, strings, winds, vocals and field recordings have been heavily processed to create a collection of immediate...

Woodwinds are having a hard time nowadays, but I wanted to do this comparison between what I think are the best two WW libraries (atm). Here I used Cinematic Studio Woodwinds for the high ones (piccolo, flute, alto flute, oboe, english horn and clarinet 2) and Synchron WW for Clarinet 1, Bass...

Hey all, I made this as a study piece about Ravel's and Debussy's woodwinds writing. All feedback is appreciated! Everything is from Berlin Woodwinds.

I've been on the search for a good recorder library, and honestly it's been really tough even finding them. One of the hardest things to google, because of the 'unfortunate' name and lack of online lists. With that said, can we just huddle up and put together a complete list of availabilities...

I'm trying to create more realistic woodwind sounds. I have EW Hollywood Orchestra Gold, so using those WW, which I know sparks some debate on these forums. It's what I've got for now. I've read the manual a few times, and often keep it open when I'm entering parts. A few questions for those...

Happy 2021 my friends! I hope you're staying well and safe throughout these difficult times, but a new year means a fresh start, and with that, I'd like to kick things off with my first original song in over 3 years. Songwriting was always my first love, so it was really a pleasure to revisit my...

I made a little "opening track" last year and published it January 1st, so I decided to do it again! Happy new year folks! The beginning is a little dark, but it brightens up.

So we have now found out that not only Vista Strings are coming soon, but also LASS 3.0 (Modern Scoring Strings ) and Cinematic Studio Woodwinds. We have heard demos from CSW and Vista and most agree they sound excellent. A lot of people love Lass , so the sequel looks like it should be a...

I randomly had this theme stuck in my head for the last weeks or so. Made a quick cover yesterday, to maybe get rid of that. Orchestration is not 100% like the real thing, but close. I think the Cinematic Studio Sound fits pretty well. Winds (barely audible, but there is a flute, oboe and...

Hey guys! Here is a short piece I wrote, featuring Spitfire Epic Brass & Woodwinds, clearly inspired by the phenomenal John Williams. Hope you like it :)

Any tipps on that? How do harp runs work in the real world? What about strings and woodwinds? How fast can runs be played realistically? Which notes do I need to hit (scale / chromatic)? Any advice is welcome.

This one is already a couple of months old, but rather than forgetting that I ever made this I decided to release it as a single at this very fitting date :) Enjoy, happy new year!

Hi Vi-loving peers! This is the culmination of my opinions on the libraries I think that will give you a super solid foundation in composing cinematic orchestral music. If you'd prefer to have a physical guide to read over, please download the PDF I created specifically for this video in the...

I would be very grateful for some feedback, in particular in regard to how I work the EW Hollywood samples and the overall balance of the orchestra :) Getting a decent sound out of EW HW is hard, but sadly I don't have the budget to order Spitfire or Berlin. Maybe some day! Cheers, -B87 PS...

Owning the full collection from KU-CE 12, I would like to give it a try and see what‘s actually possible. Barely used it before but everything should be put to a test under fair conditions. I‘m curious what you already got out of the strings, brass and woodwinds, as I could only find very few...

I'd love to know what you think. The composition is a little repetitive, but so is obsessive thinking, and I was trying to convey madness from that point of view: a madman who thinks he's still a genius, standing in his office, thinking obsessively and looking through some "interesting" papers...

I was always interested on why does woodwinds in ff sounds much lower in volume than brass... It is hard to hear all instruments in full orchestra, have to add some gain for ww section in order to hear it properly. Would appreciate a good answer Thanks

I know the strings/brass-samples are custom made, but I can not find out what f.ex SO 2fl legato etc is. I see Berlin Woodwinds, Albion 1 Legacy/ONE, but I'm stuck at the flutes! Any takers? :)

This is a pretty short review but... sadly I couldn't find much to like about this collection :/. Going to be doing a few more quick reviews in the coming weeks, as I continue to work on writing a big one for Genesis Choir by Audiobro, per request from my last poll :) "5.5/10 - Unfortunately...
