Silent Hill 2 - Theme of Laura Orchestra

This was a really hard orchestral cover to do. Silent Hill 2 is my favourite in the series and one of my all time favourite games. Theme of Laura is one of the iconic songs from the Soundtrack and is also a guitary-track and I wasn't sure how well it would translate to the orchestra. I almost gave up a few times in the middle of doing this and it took way longer than usual because I'm a bit of a perfectionist and it was so hard to get it sounding right. This sounds more like Theme of Laura through the eyes of a child - perhaps that works okay considering Laura sees the town of Silent Hill as one?

i might get this game just for the sound track

[dummeh]

@meltorak123 It's definitely worth it - the soundtrack is fantastic

[iiDBeats]

hey dummeh wat are your must have VSTs do u recommend?

[dummeh]

@iiDBeats My current must-haves are Cinesamples CineBrass and Spitfire Albion for Kontakt. I utilise a lot more than those two, but they make up a large part of my used sounds and they're great for sketching ideas with.
