Re: drafts for future contributions?

Hello You're right about the fact that I don't hear what you hear and it's hard for me to figure all this out. The thing is, as you've guessed, I simply don't listen to this kind of music usually. I'm a very beginner in orchestration and I've never studied music at all. When you hear an harpist play...

Re: drafts for future contributions?

Hello So here is an evolution of my very first draft. In order to improve the sounds of my samples I bought a plugin that is not too expensive (but with a very fair quality in my opinion) called Miroslav Philarmonik. I know there are better sounds like Vienna Orchestra and so on but I think it's for...

Re: Journey's End

You're right
I've heard of this program/hosting service and it looks simple and brilliant.
We should try that

Re: drafts for future contributions?

I'm lucky ! The violonist can take some time in a month to record this solo in a studio :) I thought again about all that and I think I'm going to make two versions of this piece: - the achievement of this one, slow and quiet like this draft, with a real recorded violin (I don't really know if it wi...

Re: drafts for future contributions?

Thank you very much for all your comments! In conclusion, that old archives could be a start for future contributions with a lot of work. I think I can see the direction of compositions here so I'll try to propose something when I will finish to set up my samples environment. (and that's a very long...

Re: Journey's End

May be we should contact the administrator of wesnoth.org ? The idea is that if West can upload good free samples in the wesnoth.org server itself, that collection could become the reference for every musician contributors here. That's interesting for the game because it would give a sound consisten...

Re: Journey's End

Hello Lord Of Music Thank you very much for giving links to free samples you used, it's a great idea! But the thing is I don't succeed in downloading some of them. I signed up in the sf2midi.com site in order to dl strings. But every time I try to click on the free download button it gives me an err...

Re: drafts for future contributions?

No I can't use a microphone like that. You found it fine because you recorded a piano alone but if you try to mix it with samples in a soundtrack I'm pretty sure you will find a deadend. (did you give a try?) If I want to mix a solo violin with high or average quality samples I need professional mic...

Re: drafts for future contributions?

No I don't have the knowledge to create a soundfont with records of violin notes, sorry...
I was planning to record the entire solo in one shot. Can you play something like the violin solo in epique-calme ?
Do you have access to a studio with good microphones?

Re: drafts for future contributions?

Thanks for the comment ! I totally forgot what samples I'v used 6 years ago... it was free and I just remember that I had to modify midi velocities note by note with the mouse in order to try to make it as realistic as possible. But I think eventually that this is impossible, even with the greatest ...

drafts for future contributions?

Hello I love this game and I just discovered that musicians can contribute. I usually am a singer but I'm interested in improving my skills in composition. 6 years ago I did few shots with orchestral instruments samples and I found two mp3 in my disk that might be Heroic Fantasy oriented... Can you ...
