IK Multimedia Miroslav Philharmonik Movie Score

[PickettMusic]

Beautiful dynamics and production!

[gwaur]

I'm thinking of acquiring a symphony orchestra sample package of some sort. Would you tell me why you used non-Miroslav Philharmonik percussions? Does the Philharmonik not have percussions, or did the other synths have better ones or more of them? But heck, for a non-expensive package Philharmonik sounds really neat.

[VarioProductions]

@gwaur The Miroslav Philharmonic certainly have all percussions of a classic symphonic orchestra, but they sounds to honestly for this track. Sadly not contained are chimebars, but the rest of the percussion range is inside. In addition i've used big war drums in that track, like taikos and big toms. Those sounds you will didn't find in any orchestral library.

[Justsimplybarnie]

This so fucking awesome, wanna watch out for a movie with this soundtrack. :D

[LEXLUTHA]

Sounds amazing,great work! Very impressed. : )

[Ramsesmeriamon2]

охуительно! я в восторге!

[Ecarion]

Beautiful :)

[clubdriver]

It sounds awesome mate!!

[sergeevspredator]

this is awsome bro A++, you really managed to make it sound pretty realistic, which is not easy when it comes to strings

[millenniumoverdrive]

For the most part, this sounds very fluid and authentic. Definitely interested in trying it out. Yeah, if you reallllllly scrutinize a couple sections, you *might* hear something synthetic, but I'd be hard pressed to find it and it doesn't detract from the composition. So many soundtracks integrate symphonic and synthesis, that it sounds very natural to me. Great job and thanks so much for posting this!

[stratocaster539]

Very nice! My only critisism is that the sonar workscreen looks like pacman!

[VarioProductions]

@stratocaster539 Thats right...The old interface of Sonar needs getting used to. ;-) The new interface of Sonar X1 is much better.

[peterscoop]

@VarioProductions Can i use this wonderful VST in Fruity Loops?

[VarioProductions]

@peterscoop Yes. Of course. Should be no problem.

[AxeJMO]

@VarioProductions How about with Sonar 8 on Windows 7 64 bit?

[VarioProductions]

@AxeJMO Runs as a 32-bit VST over the Bitbridge. Now i'm working with Sonar X1 x64 on Windows 7 x64. The Bitbridge is the same as in Sonar 8. So i can say ... No problem. Works great.

[msbunnypaws]

That was good. How long did it take to make?

[VarioProductions]

@msbunnypaws I don't remember exactly. I think some about 15-20 hours of work.

[emoaxel151]

@VarioProductions shame it carntbe played by a real orchestra :/

[wakeupfist]

Loved the beginning.

2:54 The string arpeggios start giving it away.

2:59 Those french horn "rips" need to die, sir. They even scream "fake" to a lay person, while feeling like a sickle to the initiated eardrums. You can't simulate them by hand without sounding ridiculous. PS. Doesn't the library feature rip performance samples?

(Forgive me for being so brutal).

[VarioProductions]

@wakeupfist No problem. Critics are appreciated. That's music...Somebody like it, somebody don't. The Miroslav Philharmonik doesn't feature rip samples. Therefore i have to find another way to reproduce rips. I know that it's not perfect. But you've identified it as rips. So the result can't be far away form that what it supposed to be. Listeners with not well trained ears don't notice the difference.

(Forgive me for being a little cheek.)

Kind regards

[synthisist]

Thanks for the answer!

[synthisist]

Great. I've been told that you need a lot of RAM and a very powerful studio computer to use this incredible programme!

[VarioProductions]

@synthisist Thanks. No, the Miroslav Philharmonik don't need such a powerfull system. I've made this track with an old AMD Athlon X2 prozessor with only 2 GB of RAM, without freezing any track.

[BoyBlueberry]

Amazing O.O

[eltinchox]

mr i have a question about something that is really bothering me. i have got this product and i am really loving ecept for one thing, when im using violins, violas, or the full strings preset and i play E4,F4, or F#4 and the same one octave higher i hear a sometimes annoying high pitched sound, i just wanna check if you hear it too, or maybe its my speakers or whatever...

[eltinchox]

@eltinchox btw i loved the track

[datsik]

Can you upload this as a high quality video? Or as a high bitrate mp3 somewhere..

[VarioProductions]

@datsik

You can download it from justaloud.

Visit our homepage and follow the link on the main page.

Kind regards

[cromero1201]

great! but can you PLS PLS tell me what you used for percussion?

[VarioProductions]

@cromero1201 I used the London Orchestra Percussion from Big Fish, the StylusRMX from Spectrasonics and the East West Stormdrum 1.

[jonjimusic]

this is amazing.

i just installed philharmonik and i run sonar x1.

i can't seem to get it working like this though.

any idea where i should look to learn how to use them together?

[MsDidier1973]

moi aussi je compose de la musique symphonique,c'est super avec Cakewalk,encore bravo de la part de Didier.

[sgirondogs]

Nice work using Miroslav. I don't think people realize the power this instrument has. Why spend 1600.00 when you can spend 250.00. 

[BobMartin1964]

Sounds great, think i'll be getting Miroslav soon... the price is down just now. Good work.

[charleschambaz]

Really great!!!!!!! I have MP too and i love it!

But just one question: why do you use 3 instances of MP?? why not less, why not more?? And how do you use midi channels in this case? Some instruments are on the same channel? How much tracks do you have?

Thanks

Regards

Charles

[VarioProductions]

@charleschambaz

I've needed 3 instances of the MP because of the articulations of the instruments. I've used a single midi track for each artikulation. With thus i have a good view over the complete song and see when i am using which Artikulation. For me is this way better than keyswitches or layers. I don't use project templates for my tracks. Becaus of my workflow, i don't know previously how many tracks i need. With all tracks, including the drum tracks, i've came to round about 50 tracks.

[charleschambaz]

@VarioProductions ok! thanks for your answer and i hope you will publishmore music with MP ;)

[leselo]

I've just got this programme and must say regarding edirol orchestral its chalk and cheese,I've only spent 10mins on it and already I can see that my PC needs upgrading,we have 4 gig ram with an AMD chip.

Its a little glitchy when importing the sounds and fell over a few times.

I would like to find a good way of bouncing the tracks to audio for better mixing but my old EMU 1258 card won't allow it.

@varioProductions,this is a fine piece of work and an excellent example,thanks

[VarioProductions]

Hi leselo,

Thanks for your compliment. Sounds to me a little strange, that your PC make problems with 4 GB RAM. I've made this track with only 2 GB of RAM, and an AMD Athlon X2 without freezing any track. I've updated my system later to 4 GB and a Phenom X4.

The Edirol Orchestral is a nice handy tool, if you want to make some orchestral tracks without the the demand of absolutely realism. I am planing to make a track, only made with the Edirol Orchstral for Youtube.

[DaveThePianoDude]

I love it! Could you tell me which version of SONAR you used to produce this? Will the plugin work with the lowest-tier version, or do you need the advanced one?

[VarioProductions]

@DaveThePianoDude

I've used Sonar 8.5 Producer Edition. You can use every VSTi compatible sequencer. The new low budget version of Sonar is called "X1 Essential" and it is VSTi comtatible. You also can use othe sequencer like Cubase, Magix Music Maker, Samplitude, Reaper, etc. Check out the demo version of some sequencer to find out, which one is the right for you from the point of workflow and clarity.

[Logan3500]

Да,вполне путёво,есть чему поучиться!!!Супер в общем)))!!!

[clubfun12]

if mozart would have lived today ....what would he have done with it ...i can only imagine :-)

[HansbaProDuctioN]

wow really nice piece of work :D

[spookydrums]

Sounds really cool :D I like it... But, I have a question... Wich one is better: Miroslav Philarmonic or Edirol Orchestral...? I use Edirol, but I want to switch to Miroslav Philarmonic, and I don't know if that is ok... ( Sorry for my bad english :) )

[VarioProductions]

@spookydrums The Miroslav Philharmonik sounds is much better then the Edirol Orchestral. I have both. The Miroslav sounds more lively and have much more articulations of any sound. But you have to train a little to get it sounds real.

In my opinion the Miroslav is still one of the best sounding orchestra libraries...and i have worked with many of them.

[andrewh817]

@VarioProductions Great track! Also, do you have any other recommendations for nice orchestra libraries (besides Edirol)?

[SHDesigns2009]

Very nice!

I think this really shows off Miroslav's strengths. And IK's Classic Studio Reverb sounded great, too.

And thanks for using SONAR!

[tertullian2009]

Nice mixture of instruments!
