Project colossal - css template - EXPANSION OUT

No its already done, final tweaks and test. Gonna rest my ears for a while and come back to finalize eq.


Great idea! I think it will definitely runs smoother then. I do this too.

You dont NEED al plugins right now. If you decide to gradually buy more of them just re-download the template once you have access and the plugins will load activated as well.
Pro Q 3 is a must tho.

You have access via that link in your mail anytime too. But yes, you can put it in the template folder of cubase as well.

I still recommend goin in parts and do individual CC 1 data. Using the EXACT same data for all sections or even one section, like strings, sounds very odd to me.

Yes there is! But you need to connect it yourself to your DAW.

Please watch the overview video!


Thats probably a bug from The system I use, I recommend going in manually and download them One by one! Its only a couple luckily.



Thanks for the questions y'all <3

I’m a little unclear on this point, Rico. As I will have all the plug-ins this weekend for BF, should I re-download the template then, or is the download I have now fine in that regard. I also noticed that in getting Gullfoss today (having downloaded the template on saturday), that once opened in Cubase that Gullfoss had no settings, meaning no presets (not sure if this is intentional ?).

Thank you!

The one you downloaded is fine! But dont save over that file itself. Always make a copy, or like you said put it in the template folder. This way cubase makes a copy.
Gullfoss should not be 0/0, thats maybe a bug.
I normally put it around 8 percent ish on tame and recover.

Best,

R

When working on any project, I keep the original version and never overwrite it or change it so I always have a fresh original backup.

Then, as I refine it, add new things, try new things, once I am happy I save it with a number which I increment everytime I make significant changes. e.g

If my original file or template was called "original" I would gradually save newer versions thus:

original
original (00)
original (01)
etc..

- this way I can always go back to the original or any other version
- it saves having to remember how to re-create things
- the files get automatically displayed in ascending order (provided that you view them as sorted by name)
- it's good practice to keep incremental versions of files
- it saved my bacon a few times
- I have never reached (99) so far

Of course, that's just my take on it, there are many other ways of doing the same, some of them much more elaborate. I also keep separate backups in the cloud and on separate SSDs... just being very prudent. I figure if I spend a day's worth of working on something, it's worth backing-up!

:grin:

Thanks again Rico. I had thought as such, but great to get the feedback. I’ll adjust the Gulfoss as recommended (could you send a photo/screenshot of the setting so I can be sure I’m setting it correct?). Your template is simply amazing. Not only does it give me a wonderful CSS template (downloading the complete library today!), but the details and mixing settings make getting such a great sound accessible to someone like me who is new to so much of the digital world! Bravo x100!

Thank you so much for this feedback, incredibly helpful! I’ll use that filing system for sure. I use v1, v2, v3 etc for my sound design work, but I like the “original (00-01-02, etc)” system too, especially for templates (or versions of projects) as it gives a name to the original. My aging brain likes things being clear and easy to understand :). Wishing you safe travels to reaching (99)! :)
 
Hello Everyone!

It has been a while. I'm super excited to announce the first and free expansion for Project Colossal users:

PROJECT COLOSSAL 2.0

What is this? Its another Keyswitch or Split patch version of the CSS series with different mic settings, different eq and reverb setups. Basically a whole new mix made from scratch! Trying to emulate a larger scoring stage, or hall rather instead of the wide and dryer V1 sound.
All expansions coming up run in VEP only, this one included. The same required plugins for V1 have been used with some free ones as well. The main mic is ditched and the close mics in brass have a small delay so the transients are nice and punchy and are aligned pretty closely to the room mics. Also for this expansion you only get 1 audio return per library. But there is still an option for close mic automation!

For now I just wanted to share this wonderful mockup by Eric Valette done with Project Colossal 2.0 Expansion!




All the best,

Rico

This is incredible, Rico! Thank you for all your hard work, and thanks to @ERIC VALETTE for creating this awesome mock-up of one of my all-time favorite film cues. Excited to dig into the new template!

Sounds great! If we don’t already own Project Colossal and purchase it now will we also receive this expansion for free? It looks like two separate products on the site.

Absolutely! Its mentioned on the site too, maybe not as clear for now:

If you would buy 2.0 expansion, you'll get the original template. If you buy the original core template, you'll get the promo code for 2.0 expansion!

Best,

R

Excellent, thanks!

One question (sorry if this has been covered already).. Could Ircam Spat be used in place of Precedence?
 
@ricoderks Hey, so I own Seventh Heaven Professional, and I ran into a problem where, since it isn’t backwards compatible with its standard version, I can’t see the settings I’d need to transfer over. Would you update the Google drive with a preset folder or even screenshots of the reverb settings? Thanks!

Precedence is not used for the 2.0 expansion. But sure for v1 you could use it. Precedence was used to push the v1 sound back a bit, but perhaps subtly enough to completely ditch precedence and icram

Aha, I was wrong about the small versions being free for pro users:

"Each Cinematic Rooms Professional edition activation license will also unlock the Cinematic Rooms standard edition plug-in."

It is true for Cinematic rooms, but not for seventh heaven. Ill make sure to upload screenshots and presets this day.

Best,

@ricoderks, the 2.0 version sounds great! I wonder if we can get a screenshots folder for the setup in the download folder. I don't use VE Pro, and used a similar method of manually inputting each level, pan, and plugin setting in my DAW in version 1 to re-create the template in Reaper.

Eventually i will upload all presets again. It takes quite some time to save all pro q3, studio racks or multis. For now its just the vep project. Not sure if they offer a VEP demo?

They do, I tested it 30 days before I bought it. Users could use the trial version to open V2, save presets for the plugins and then import them into their DAW of choice :)
