Journey of a Thousand Miles - Original Orchestral Composition - EWQL

[PlushChronicles]

Reminds me of Homers, "The Odyssey" ~~~~!!!

[tearsinraine]

@PlushChronicles Thank you!

[jwmusic7]

Very powerful piece. Great Job.

[tearsinraine]

@jwmusic7 Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

[tearsinraine]

@ProjectDecade Thanks!!

[bachynskymusic]

Wonderful job. I hope one day my compositions can be as good!

[tearsinraine]

@bachynskymusic thank you for listening!

[markpos1976]

Nice! Only criticism is that I wanted more. At he end 2:10 onwards, it would have been nice it have the timpani and end section a little longer.

[tearsinraine]

@markpos1976 Good idea! Thank you for the nice comment and for listening!

[EgaoNoGenki]

Dang it. I was looking for an orchestrated version of Vanessa Carlton's "A Thousand Miles" but it remains as elusive as ever!

[musicroman]

You do really very nice tracks, very professionnal, I like it, you've talent make the people listen that...

[tearsinraine]

@musicroman Thank you very much! I appreciate it!

[tearsinraine]

@solariumetallium Thank you!

[TJLan86]

beautiful! question though... what is VSTi? 

[tearsinraine]

@TJLan86 thanks! VST (Virtual Studio Technology) refers to the overall software technology of and the "i" refers specifically to "instruments".. although some people just use the term "VST" generically to refer to whatever they're talking about, be it instruments, effects plugins, etc.. in the context of my description I'm just referring to working with virtual instruments. Hope that answers your question.

[PaulvanNimwegenMusic]

I enjoyed listening to this a lot. You are obviously very talented, subscribed.

[tearsinraine]

@PaulvanNimwegenMusic Thanks! You have some great music as well. Looking forward to hearing more!

[Silverstreek96]

good job man

[tearsinraine]

@Silverstreek96 Thanks!

[HMSChippy]

I love this overall, nicely worked, the only thing I'd change is the middle, where it's seemed to drift on aimlessly. I'm not sure whether you wanted realism, but this is the only other place this falls short it - slightly synthy in places near the start. Still, this doesn't stop this from becoming a really well made composition :)

[tearsinraine]

thank you for the thoughtful comments

[wonderwaffe]

[fortune32]

how much do your programs cost?

[tearsinraine]

Cubase AI comes free with certain Yamaha hardware. You can also buy different Cubase versions on steinberg's site. If you have no money to spend on a sequencer, you could try Reaper, which is free. I've heard good things about it. For East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra, you can check the soundsonline or soundsonline-europe website for current prices. The Silver version is the most affordable and you can always upgrade later to Gold if you want or need.

[ReneIsSoCool101Yes]

@tearsinraine Excuse me tearsinraine, hey I wanted to ask, how good is the East West Symphonic Orchestra Silver Complete? I ask because I like to write a lot of Symphonic Metal songs, and I use Sibelius 6 to write the symphonic parts, but it doesn't sound as authentic as I would like, and I can only afford the Silver Complete, but can you tell me if it is worth getting in your opinion?

[tearsinraine]

@ReneIsSoCool101Yes That's a tough one. I've never used Silver. so I don't really know. I did look at the articulation list, but it's tough to say what's "good enough" because it would be different for everyone. If possible, I would suggest waiting and saving up for the Gold edition. soundsonline also runs semi-regular sales.. most of them are buy1get1 or 3for2 which doesn't help your money situation, but just recently they ran a 50% off special on EWQLSO so maybe wait for a special? Good luck!

[ReneIsSoCool101Yes]

@tearsinraine Ok thank you for your opinion! But aside from the more complex articulations, does the VSTi differ from any of the versions? Like, does Gold/Platinum sound more authentic compared to Silver or does it sound the same? Right now I'm more concerned with authentic VSTi for the moment, and I have no problem upgrading to Gold if that's the case.

[tearsinraine]

@ReneIsSoCool101Yes Gold has more articulations than Silver. Platinum has additional mic positions as well as higher bit-rate samples. All this helps to produce a better performance/sound. So is Gold capable of producing a better performance than Silver? Yes, because it has additional articulations. Do you absolutely need these additional articulations? Only you can say. Take a look at the articulation list. Also, you might want to check out the soundsonline forums for additional help.

[ReneIsSoCool101Yes]

@tearsinraine Ok thank you tearsinraine, you pretty much helped me out trying to understand EWQLSO a lot more!

[CaracalCat93]

You made this?  wow, beautiful!

[tearsinraine]

Thank you!

[LethalMuzikProduct]

Still my favorite man!!

[tearsinraine]

Thanks man!

[pepitocrea]

Thanks for your comments on my page, it's very kind.

You make a good music it's a pleasure to listen. Excuse my wrong english, i'm french, i now that it is not a good excuse but it's true. Soon, Pépito.

[tearsinraine]

Merci beaucoup! No problem!  Your english is much much better than my french! :) thank you for listening!

[sn4kech4rmer]

Sooo BEAUTIFUL!

C'est magnifique! =)

Man, dont give up, you are doing an exellent work. Epic result!

[tearsinraine]

thanks so much for the kind and encouraging words!

Merci beaucoup! :)

[goofyguitarist11]

WHOA. That was awesome! And such a good name too! 5 STARS. If you could spare time to listen to one of my orchestral compositions, I'd be honored.

[tearsinraine]

Thank you very much. Checking out your music now...

[sk88rdude999]

No doubt impressive. Nick work! I hope to see some more.

[tearsinraine]

Thanks for the nice comments! I've had some issues with running out of system resources when putting together some newer pieces so I've been (slowly) looking into upgrading my hardware. I'm hoping to get it sorted out soon. Thanks again for listening!

[Jcoaster2008]

Wow! I love it. I'm getting cubase and ewqlso soon.

[tearsinraine]

Awesome! Hope you have fun with it!

[scotpet11]

Daaang dude...

NICE

[tearsinraine]

Thanks!

[geevow]

truly nice work :) And the sound is quite amazing too, I think there will be a day I will buy cubase and something like EWQLSO Gold as well!

[tearsinraine]

Thank you very much

[CriticsConfession]

Oh wow! This is a great. You're excellent. I too have made original compositions that I may post. Their more darker than this... I'm more of a dark composer... But this... I see this like an overture to like a totally badass RPG like Oblivion, Morrowind, and The Legend of Zelda, or a great fantasy movie like Lord of the Rings! You're a great composer!

[tearsinraine]

Hey, thanks for all the kind words! I appreciate it, really! I checked out your channel.. keep it up with the guitar! Looking forward to hearing your original compositions when you post them. Thanks again!

[coenvandam]

love your music

you have good ears, taste

and talent

[tearsinraine]

Thanks so much.  I enjoy your music as well. Your piano playing is incredible. Looks like you play all sorts of instruments. Looking forward to checking out more your music!

[KENOEFF]

You make this on your own ?

on a computer ?

amazing

[tearsinraine]

Thanks!

[yeahtheman]

Wow. Amazing! I wish I could come up with some music like this. Great job!

[tearsinraine]

Thanks for the nice comment. You've got some great stuff on your channel as well. Thanks again.

[faxmech]

how much does cubase of any kind normally cost? im planning on getting it because i absolutely love orchestral music and am wanting to produce a few certain bits from different movies that werent on the soundtracks

[tearsinraine]

cubase is just the sequencer, so what you'll probably want are a sequencer as well as an orchestral sample library for the sounds... and you'll have various choices for either (with prices being all over the board, so the cost really comes down to your needs and budget). For Cubase, you can check retail prices at Steinberg's official site to give you an idea. If you're a student, definitely be sure to check for educational pricing, for whatever product(s) you decide to purchase.

[faxmech]

ok thanks. lol its kinda amusing coz my dads side of the family has complete lack of musical talent and my mums side is full of it lol

[byrne666]

This is an amazing song. i thinking of buy ewqlso gold aswell, is it easy to learn to use?

How many instruments did you have to score to make this piece?

[tearsinraine]

Thanks! I think you'll be very happy with ewqlso gold. I found it pretty easy to get started with it and that's coming from a relative newcomer to computer-based music. For this piece I used about a dozen MIDI tracks with 16 or so VST instruments loaded. I never seem to have enough memory tho, but I guess that's inevitable. Hope that helps.

[UnfamiliarPlace]

Very nice. I especially liked the softer middle part, and the opening was great.

[tearsinraine]

Thank you! I appreciate it!

[RomeSnowShower]

You are a great! I liked it very much....I just approaching to make music with software (VSTi) and so on...

5/5*****

[tearsinraine]

Thank you very much. Hope to hear more of your music too! Grazie!

[JerichoSmith21]

Fantastisch!!!!Woher kommt das Orchester oder hast du das selbst gemacht?

[tearsinraine]

Vielen dank!! Ja, das habe ich alles selbst komponiert und selbst gemacht. Entschuldigen Sie mein schlechtes Deutsch. :)

[LethalMuzikProduct]

I only got to :10 seconds and i felt i had to rewind it over and over again. It is so amazing. I can't even get through it without being amazed to the point where i can't breath anymore. Magnificent job man.

[tearsinraine]

wow... Thanks!

[JerichoSmith21]

Dein Deutsch ist sehr gut!Was bedeuted eigentlich ``EWQL´´?

Ich kann nur nochmal sagen:Super Cool, das hast du richtig gut gemacht 5/5P aus Deutschland

[tearsinraine]

Danke! :) "EWQL" bedeuted "East West Quantum Leap" Symphonic Orchestra... es ist eine "virtuelle orchester" software das ich benutze für die orchestralen Klängen.. Hier könnt Ihr mehr darüber lesen: soundsonline . com .. Nochmal vielen dank!

[nickmaymusic]

Wow this is nice! A Very big sounding arrangement the final 20secs or so are very epic. Overall it's nicely orchestrated and powerful with some nice contrasting sections. 5/5

[tearsinraine]

Thank you for the nice comments and the rating! I appreciate it!

[las798]

Pretty awesome. Very strong and engaging. And, now that I think about it, very nice musical arc.

For some reason it seems like it would go well somewhere in a Pirates of the Caribbean film ... :)

[tearsinraine]

Thank you for the thoughtful comments!

[Thediegmyster]
