Eleanor Rigby with LA Scoring Strings First Chair

[MithraMusic]

[djhopkins123]

[kubokazu]

perfect!

[TheEternalMercy]

Amazing work man. Keep it up!.

[josessin]

This is actually pretty good!

[jonaskiste]

Hey, how are you liking Reaper? I'm considering buying the discounted license, but I want to know if it can replace some of the more commercial DAWs..

Thanks!

[erikscull]

@jonaskiste I think Reaper is great...It's my primary sequencer while Pro Tools continues to lack 64-bit support. It has some idiosyncrasies, and I wouldn't recommend it for the novice daw user. But if you're comfortable with signal path and routing, and don't mind working a little harder to do some things that other daws have a bit more polish on, it's definitely worth a shot. The price is right!

[nonchai]

some of those notes are out of tune !!!!

[erikscull]

@nonchai I know!!!

[lapmarty]

its good work and fine until 19 second, when your reverb kick in,i dont know what you use, but it suck big time, take a look at altiverb with subtle setting,

[erikscull]

@lapmarty Huh...Waves IR-1 with a Bricasti M7 quad-channel impulse...One man's suck is another man's doesn't suck apparently. The reverb is present from the beginning, and is a bit too high, I agree. But I refer you to this recording for what I was modelling: watch?v=Lgv-C7yE8RA.

[lapmarty]

@erikscull yes i can see where you were trying to get at but i would cut off some middle -3db in the tail of your reverb, there is something synthetic about it lack the space from the anthology version,

but it is just amatter of tweaking overal the playing is right on,



[erikscull]

@lapmarty Yeah, I bumped the mids on the main mix (post-reverb, if I remember correctly) trying to make it sound "older". You're certainly right...some more care could have been taken in the mix dept.

[4piuma]

@erikscull where did you get the Bricasti M7 impulse for IR-1?

[ancientwhale]

Might I ask? How did you setup the different articulation lanes under each instrument?

[erikscull]

@ancientwhale I like to use Reaper's track folders, so that every instrument family has a folder (strings, brass, ww, perc), and then every instrument is a track folder with the articulations set up as tracks within. I prefer this to keyswitches personally, and the track folder routing in Reaper makes submix stems, mixing, and effects easy to do.

[Angelpopangel]

Very cool mockup!

[jlw5150]

You know what would be awesome/extremely helpful - if you flagged up which patches you used as the track goes on - this has totally made my mind up about buying LASS - cheers, amazing. I was just comparing this with the original and it's stands up pretty well i have to say. (for something that was knocked out on a computer!) congrats.I'm inspired. I assume they're all first chair?

[weaponEX]

Do "Shatter" by Shelly Ann Orphan next

[weaponEX]

Excellent! This is the track that got me interested in learning violin

[johnred3cba]

EXCELENTE COMPOSICIÓN! ;)

[BarnabasFolk92]

sorry but there is no velocity sensitivity??!?

[erikscull]

@BarnabasFolk92: Indeed...I dashed this out pretty quickly. I should've made a bigger deal out of the terraced dynamics. Not the fault of LASS though...It's had very wide dynamic range. Also, the limiter I applied to "age" the recording doesn't help. Squeezed a bit much.

[Guidotorius]

Thank you for this demo. It's very helpful, as I'm wanting to upgrade my string library from EWQLSO Platinum and am wondering whether to buy LASS or Hollywood Strings. After hearing your demo and others on the net, I'm leaning toward LASS. I especially appreciate the natural sounding legato and ART scripting. The addition of first chairs may be the winning factor. Nice work!

[MrGoNzObeAtZ]

Those short articulations sound amazing. Nice work!
