I've decided to try something very different and i'm looking for any pointers in creating classical/filmscore/epic tracks.
I'm fairly familiar with the layout of an orchestra and the use of heavy panning and layering, although I've got a lot of swotting up to do i'm sure. We share many tips and tricks for dance tracks so I was wondering about the same kind of tip sharing for another style of track.
This is my early idea that i'm hoping to turn into a 10-12 minute epic!

If you have any questions, ask away. |
Damn there's some fine work there! :eyes:
The articulations in the Star Wars piece are virtually real to my ears. The obvious question is what sample sets are you using because the one's in Kontakt 4 are useful but limited. The choirs in the LOTR score are ridiculously good. |

| Listening again that Star Wars piece is simply stunning. |

yeah me to why do we have a hobby that cost so much money.this is why i started to make breaks/ downtempo.
looking at that morvan vid on youtube gave me something to think about using a section of a movie and write a pice of music over it looks like fun.

I'm a score engineer and work for a number of composers as a living so know a bit about this subject.
It's so much more complex than people think. It actually pisses me off a little when the likes of Tiesto/oakenfold say they're going in to scoring. I've seen so many major recording artists (pop, rock, hiphop, EDM) partner with the composers I work for for score projects and it's crazy to see how unbeleiveably out of their depth they are, even the truly talented artsists.
Scoring is, IMO, the ultimate intellectualization of music - where so many other forms rely on the art or natural flow as their base, score relies on intense knowledge, direction and thought. |
