I was wondering how New World and Cymatics get these sounds in their tracks

1. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SOg14SPt07s the violin and piano at 2:52
2.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgkONuGwWCY the piano at 3:25

Not just these trakcs in general but all tracks with real instrument sounds in them. Thanks.

nobody will ever know.

Whenever I need these kinds of sounds I record myself rubbing a wooden spoon against a foggy window.

They use a high quality mic and record violin straight into the soundcard and put it on the track. Simple as that.

Violins can be done with Omnisphere sampled string pads sounds like the same preset I use in Omnisphere.

Piano I use Native Instruments The Giant plugin or Pianoteq both sound real

Yeah, Omni has great strings and synth pads

For piano I use Nexus, but I'm starting to not like that as much anymore. I've used pianoteq before, I liked that for piano also. There was one that Nicky Romero, but yeah it's all in the plug-ins

Oh my God.

About cymatic's track only the pre breakdown violin sounds better than the common violin patch, about new world i don't find any impressive sound design here.

Listen from 1:50





It's just being good i think, your piano won't ever sound realistic if you don't add some reverb like if you were using the pedal, won't sound realistic if you don't use different velocities... won't sound realistic if you don't make double pressings to keep the tension. The problem is that doing this by hand is a pain in the ass, at least if you have a midi keyboard plugged in... i've a big one and never used it for producing :/

Same for violin, you need to add a stutter si it sounds realistic...

Yeah because most people can spend 1,200 for a piano, 1,000 for a violin, 800 on microphones plus other recording equipment.

and then have proper training to record, and have the ability for themselves to play the instruments.

Do about 100 takes to get the results you want.


OOoooooor spend some money on a VST, and a couple hours and get basically the same result except it'll sound a little more digital and you wont get as much of that natural FX.
