Alex the adventurer - voelund
#1
I gave this one a go, havin listened to pauli and Juans fine versions of this.

Im not overly happy with it, but I wont work more on it for now.
I narrowed many of the stereosamples, used mute button a couple o places as i really liked the oboes and they were drowned by the violins. I tried addin a double oboe, and kinda liked the feel of 2 players so I left it in.
Read some fine articles on makin samples sound like an orchestra and one thing I tried were changin lot o pannin so they were placed like an actual orchestra, many of the samples were all over the place ...

Also moved timpani and bass drum a tad forward, as i read it could sound great, and I liked the result.
Added a global automation last notes, and some drumroll exciter too, a big intro, a dip and crescendo, it made the drumrolls more natural - to me.

It was fun but Im really tired of this little piece of music now :-)


Forgot to mention: the ringin notes at the very end were caused by the tail of a timpani interfering with the tails of 2 basdrum hits. creating a fairly fast fade on track 3 (timpani)solved the problem for me.
