Hi Chris, first of all, thanks for listening and commenting so nicely! Feb 20 2021, Chris Caudle has written: ...
Does that mean there was no playing in the traditional sense, you did not play in the parts with a keyboard?
I did play the parts on a keyboard. I used the MIDI sequencer to quantise (to a certain extent) or sometimes slow down the tempo so I could play certain sections at all or more accurately.
How were the swells and small dynamic changes in the notes created?
Some samples were recorded with small swells, like the cor anglais. Otherwise it was dynamic playing or building up the volume through the different instruments. Layers with the hardware synth may have helped occasionally with the strings and brass. ...
did you sequence aftertouch or some other MIDI command to add some dynamic movement in the notes?
I didn't record any MIDI controls. I don't think the library is set up to deal with those.
The impression of actual players is much better than a lot of synthesized orchestral music I have heard.
Thank you very much! Not that they run in Linux, but have you heard some of the Spitfire libraries in action? I think the BBC core may run in wine. It was - or maybe still is - free. Admittedly, usually their fully fledged orchestral libraries cost hundreds of pounds, so a comparison is not fair. :) Best wishes and thanks again, Jeanette ... -- * Website: http://juliencoder.de - for summer is a state of sound * Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMS4rfGrTwz8W7jhC1Jnv7g * Audiobombs: https://www.audiobombs.com/users/jeanette_c * GitHub: https://github.com/jeanette-c It's not complicated We just syncopated We can read each others' minds <3 (Britney Spears) _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
