Silk One

I loaded Silk from East West Sunday evening and this is my first attempt with that library. All of the instruments are Silk.

Hope you enjoy.

    Hi, Ron,
     
    This is a very cool composition, a combination of your unique cinematic style, mixed with some very different "Far East" elements!  That Silk library sure sounds great when you're the one working with it!
     
    This one actually made me hungry for Chinese food and a Kung-Fu movie!
     
    Really nice work, have a great night!

    Hey Ron
    I think you have mastered this software young grasshopper. My daughters (age 5&8) came running into the room when they heard this piece. They are fascinated with anything that has a Oriental flare. I really enjoyed the arrangement and the mix. On my end I am getting really crisp and clean high ends. The lows are very rich but I wouldn't mind if they had a smidge more low end to even out more with the highs.  GREAT WORK!

    I'm sure glad I was able to help you get this software up and running so you could get this done so quickly. 

    This is quite cool--definitely oriental.  Well, as far as I know anyway.  :-)  You sure you can't wrap up and sell some of that talent?  I mean, it would have to be affordable and all, but it seems like you have plenty to spare anyway. :-)

    I've been looking hard at some of the East/West synths. 

    This sounds really nice. 

    Have you used any of their choir products?

    Now I want some Chinese food!!

    Thanks James

    Kev

    I think that is a huge compliment when kids want to hear music and actually come from another room to do so. Thanks for telling me that. I did try to bring up the low end of the strings some. If I bring them up any more it will just get too muddy.

    I couldn't have done it without you!  

    You know my prices. I think I am pretty cheap at $1000 per hour. You can't get Beethoven that cheap! (Just cause he's dead is no excuse).

    I own a number of EW libraries including Symphonic choirs and have been very happy with all of them, but I do not own any of their synths. All I have are sampled libraries.

    For synths, I really like Omnisphere.

    Thanks all

    Ron

    Hi Ron,

    I love this piece.

    The Eastern instruments sound fantastic and give you a whole new dimension to work with...

    As if you needed another dimension

    Very cool!

    Thanks Gary

    Well I guess since there are at least 10 dimensions and probably more, it never hurts to get another one.

    Rolifer:

    Extremely majestic lush intro ... of the eastern sort.  You inspire me want to get it while its half price (but I'm wrestling with BiaB right now)

    The majesty sweetly trails and meanders into eery Sahara deserts and Syrian-Chinese dreamscapes (I know I'm projecting my subconscious seas into this). 

    The end might use require another 1 second or 2 of ambient stillness ... to undo oneself before the intro romp of your next symphony (beneath Silk 1).

    Your 1st attempt (from Sunday) is exceedingly sweet, dramatic, and inspiring to my ears.

    Sounds like you're taking over the world, Ron.
    Very cool sounds.   I've always loved  oriental instruments.  You are off to a florid start here.
