Movie Night

I have uploaded a new piece.  The title is due to the soundtrack feel of the work.

The piece came together quickly.  Most of the composition was done on a Friday evening.

Movie Night is on my webpage at:

Thanks for listening.

    It definitely does have a soundtrack feel.  You made very good use of the soundscape to give it different textures and moods.  The song builds up at the right times and releases the tension when it should.  The use of dynamics is well done, too.  All in all, I give this a solid A.

    All the best,
    Lynn

    Are you using PRV, staff, or playing on keys?  Whatever you are doing is great.  The production is exceptional.

    Good morning and thanks all for the kind reviews.  Hearing that the production sounds good is "music to my ears".  This, I feel, has always been my weakest skill set.

    The piece in constructed solely using Komplete 8 Ultimate.

    The undercurrent is driven by Session Strings Pro using the Animator.  I layered two different sections to give it the bottom it needed.  Pulled some of the boom out using a notch filter.

    The majority of instruments come from the Orchestral Section. Here I doubled up some instruments for thickness and took advantage of the Key switches for staccatto, pizzacato, etc. on the strings.

    The vast majority of the playing is real time and tweaked using PRV (timing, durations, attack, velocity, etc.).

    Some of the 16th note arpeggiated runs were done with step record.  Just easier to get the time correct right out of the box.

    All tracks have volume envelopes which were applied after velocity levels were fixed.  This is also how I fade the song for the ending.

    I use Fabfilter for the EQ and Compression.  I can't say enough about Fabfilter.  Great product and intuitive.

    All parts played on my favorite midi controller, the Roland A-80.  Dinosaur yes, but haven't played anything better.
