Claustrophobia- East West Symphonic Orchestra Demonstration

[JohnF30Music]

what is the background noise? is it a sample?

[KristopherFMusic]

Mu71L80R is right, you need to write a section, bounce it and then put the live session to the side and use the bounce down for guidence and then go back and edit when you need too. Only thing I could recomend to help it more is to put more ram in, and get 3 decent HDD, 1 for Logic & OS, 1 for your EastWest Samples, and another for your Project files. Its all down to £££ lol.

[KristopherFMusic]

Hey utube9000,

Im running EastWest on an 8 core Intel Mac 5400 Harper Town (late 2008 model) with 8GB ram and decent HDD, and tbh, if I have more than say 8 channels each running EastWest, with one sample on each and maybe a few other plugins going it will get choppy, and sometimes come up saying it cant play back.

[heeelga]

That's really strange.I'm running an iMac (early 2009) with 4gb ram and a dualcore processor. I'm able to load about 24 channels with East West and some plugins.

Try to freeze some tracks (if you're running Logic) click the freeze button if your system is slowing down. I guess that EWQL isn't the problem. It has to be another plug-in. Some plug-ins have an interface that is taking much cpu power.

[KristopherFMusic]

Yeah, well the other plugins im running are BFD2, Steven Slate Drums, T-Racks Master Suite, Wave Labs Suite, Pod Farm, Guitar Rig. usually have all thses running together with EW so I can see why it may be getting slow lol

[heeelga]

It has to be T-Racks. I tried T-Racks for myself and it's slowing the system down like hell because of it's interface.

[MariusChamberlin]

How did you get the strings to slide up like that?

[oskararnarson]

it's a sample.

[PaulThePretentious]

...

You are working on BioShock 2, I freakin' KNOW it.

Also, want this application, but my God, I bet the price is outrageous.

Is this superior to GPO?

[krssvr92]

yes, but.. GPO is good for its price

Does platinum work a lot better than gold?

[HamishM150]

Depends on your computer. If you have a very fast computer (preferably 4 computers), then platinum will work well. It also gives you 3 choices of mic positions vs 1 position. However if you work on a single, medium spec computer then platinum will lag a lot (or atleast it did for me).

[Mu71L80R]

No... just use a 64 bits OS, 8GB RAM and a powerful procesor (For example Intel Core 2 Duo E8400) and you will perform the platinum edition without lag :)

[HamishM150]

I was using a Q6600 overclocked to 3.8 GHz mate. But I suppose I was working with a very large amount of instruments. I guess Platinum could work fine if you're only using 10 to 20.

[Mu71L80R]

Denny schneidemesser doesn't use a really powerful computer, he uses AMD 2x 2.2ghz, 3gb ram ddr1 and 1.5TB HD Working under Windows XP 64 SP2 and he makes really big ensembles! he told me he uses dfd extension and samplitude 10. I must to ask him how he makes work the EWQLSO with low system requeriments... I use Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 8gb DDR2 RAM at 800mhz and 1.5 TB HD... I'm learning how EWQLSO works (Bought it today) and in a few days I will start to make music :D and how's about you?

[HamishM150]

well a friend of mine works as a producer/composer. So I get to try all these different products which is great. at the moment I'm learning how to use VSL with the Performance Tool and it's very nice sounding.

[utube9000]

Question for you - I have a G5 Quad (Power PC, not Intel) with 5 GB RAM running OS 10.4.11 (the last TIger)

Do you think the EastWest Symphonic Platinum will lag on that system?

[Mu71L80R]

Well this is a really heavy program, most guys that work with it make a section and then export it to a wav file... Unless you buy a tesla super computer you must to work by that way :(

[utube9000]

I don't know what you mean - so, they create a section (like a bridge or chorus or verse) and then save it to a wav file on their harddrive? And then do what with it? Mix it with other wav files until they get a complete piece?

Also, don't some people store the program / samples on a separate external HD to make things faster? I have a power PC G5 with 5 gigs ram. What if I

[Mu71L80R]

that's exactly what i'm talking about, they compose a section and each one must be exported to WAV or AIFF and ensemble every one :P as I told you if you wanna work like a normal person you must to buy an Nvidia Tesla Supercomputer with 960 cores and 32gb ram ddr3 2000 :( sad but true

[filathor]

if it was a little darker, you would have just made a Jaws motif,. would actually be great to hear that theme in a new way ,. could you do that in EWQL?? that would be awesome to hear,. actually im sending you a request,. make a jaws theme, dark and scary, you still should use the famous theme but compose your own music around it,.. lets say you was given the challenge to make the music for a new movie,.. do u take the challenge??

[heeelga]

hey man, thank you very much for your interest in one of my compositions. you're right, even if it was not in my intention to create a Jaws-like theme. I'm concerned in creating new compositions, so I can't guarantee to create a Jaws remake. However I'd like to thank you for your request and I'll take the challenge, if I have some free time.

[filathor]

that would be awesome,.btw pls check out my little creation i did last night,.

[zenmachinefilms]

Quite good, if too short.

[RabeaRapante]

pretty scary...but good work...no...sorry..great

[weaponEX]

excellent work - go on - combine the orchestra with some death metal!
