EWQL Symphonic Orchestra: Blackpearl Remake with Cubase 5

This video shows you my self created Remake of the Movie-theme Pirates of the Caribbean.
It was made with the famous east west Vst-Plugin "East West Symphonic Orchestra" and Cubase 5.
I didn't make the whole theme, because i just wanted to play around with this new plugin. This is what I got in the end....

Greetz,

Does s.b. know how to change articualtions while an instrument is being played? Does this only work with automation from the sequencer?

[skut5]

@BraunerSenf You can do that with keyswitch patches (there you can switch articulations bye hitting specific notes in the C0 or C1 octave).

When you dont have ks patches, you have to load the same patch in a different articulation you want, and continue your melody in this section when you want your other articulation to come in...

Could you explain me how to setup cubase so that different midi tracks go to a single EWSO Vst? I can't figure it out. Thank you very much ;)

[skut5]

@3mptyLab OK, first you need to go to the vst instruments tab in the devices menu and create a kontakt instance of ewql...Then you simply create midi tracks and you set the midi track output to 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 as you wish....then you go into your kontakt and you change the midi channel of your current instrument from "omni" to your midi track number...that should do it ;)

Ok so you see those red things above your master fader, that is bad! Adjust your mix to where you dont get that and you're not clipping. Just some advice.

[skut5]

Well thanks for your advice but in this track there is NO clipping...There cant be no clipping cuz i used a limiter and some compressors to avoid this...the little "clipping" checkbox just displays the clipping cuz i had my inserts switched to bypass at a time and i dindt reset the clipping helper.

[MrSchnarco]

can you upload the cubase project files and the midi at mediafire, please.

coz i like this soundtrack realy much!!!

hey i was just curious when you compose you use the score notation or the bar one ,im new to this program and im trying to understand how it works pls someone who knows the program help me with some message tips.

[BraunerSenf]

@skut5

Ya, I've heard of these keyswitches and I also saw them in EWQLSO, but there you can only choose keyswitch (between certain keys) as an whole instrument.

Edit:

Ah now I've understood how it works. Thx!

[neblixmusic]

@chrishurncomposer You shouldn't, it ruins the dynamics.

[chrishurncomposer]

@neblixmusic Yes I agree it is too much here -- I was just commenting on 'you should never use compression in an orchestral piece'.

[neblixmusic]

@chrishurncomposer And that's to give the extra "punch" in the movie theatre, but you shouldn't do it too much.

This piece is too much. It's very noticeable here and kind of irritating, especially because the low end is "muddy" (a lot of unfocused bass sound sounds messy).

[chrishurncomposer]

@chrishurncomposer Of course the trick is to make it sound fairly transparent!

[chrishurncomposer]

@neblixmusic What you say is true - except for the compression part. Modern film scores are loaded with compression, especially action scores. Compression galore.
