Learning Orchestration

Less like learning, more like trial and error. Trying to copy various techniques, this one sounds like Danny Elfman, something out of Edward Scissorhands for instance.

Bear in mind it's recorded in realtime through a sampler, no post-processing. I love the fact I can hit play and get sounds like this on my system, it's like there's an almost-real orchestra there - about as good as you can get on a desktop, really.

That's classified information. B)

 

Oh, and if you thought I meant samples like "COOL STRING LOOP" or anything like that, no. These are individually recorded notes on instruments that are played back by a piece of software called a sampler. GigaStudio is popular. Basically you press a note on the keyboard and the computer plays back a recorded note on a cello or other. But it's more sophisticated than that.

 

Also, I used a notation program, not a sequencer, so it's actual music that I could print out and get an orchestra to play.

      Finally got my PC back from the shop after my SSD got corrupted a week ago and damaged my motherboard. Scary stuff, but thank goodness it happened right after two months of FM development instead of wiping all my work before I could release it. New SSD, repaired Motherboard and BIOS, and we're ready to start working on my second FM with some added version control in the cloud just to be safe!

      I've updated the articles for your FMs and your author category at the wiki. Your newer nickname (DeTeEff) now comes first, and the one in parentheses is your older nickname (Fieldmedic). Just to avoid confusing people who played your FMs years ago and remember your older nickname. I've added a wiki article for your latest FM, Who Watches the Watcher?, as part of my current updating efforts. Unless I overlooked something, you have five different FMs so far.

      I've finally managed to log in to The Dark Mod Wiki. I'm back in the saddle and before the holidays start in full, I'll be adding a few new FM articles and doing other updates. Written in Stone is already done.

      You cannot receive PMs. Could you please be so kind and check your mailbox if it is full (or maybe you switched off the function)?
