Metroid - Brinstar Orchestra

An orchestrated version of the Brinstar theme from the original Metroid game. It's quite brassy and the choir are back. I went with a bit less straight-to-orchestra than my other remixes so it does differ in rhythm from the original, but you should hopefully recognise it.

FL Studio 10, Kontakt 5, Cinesamples CineBrass, CineBrass Pro, HollyWoodwinds, CineSnare & CineCrash, Spitfire Albion, Percussion & Symphonic Strings, Tonehammer Requiem Pro, SoundIron Mars, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings, Vienna Symphonic Library Epic Horns

Man, you get these out pretty quick. What do you use for reverb? Convolution?

[dummeh]

@Swidhelm I tend not to really use any at all. In this piece only the LASS strings and Epic Horn have convolution because it's recorded dry. I used some custom recorded impulses and FL Studio's built in convolution plugin.

[Swidhelm]

@dummeh Wow really eh? No reverb on the rest of the orch? I'm assuming release trails though? Just curious. I use VSL SE, and at the moment use algorithmic reverb because I get ridiculous latency if I use convolution, at least in real time.

Anyways, great work! Always look forward to more!

[dummeh]

@Swidhelm Thanks for the kind words. Yeah - no reverb, just using the stage/far mics out the box and applying a little EQ to boost the highs on the final thing. Spitfire/Cinesamples have release samples that simulate the hall ambiance on their far mic stuff. I have the VSL Orchestral Cube Pro from back when it was Gigastudio. The built in Algorithmic Gigastudio reverb was great for that and it had barely any latency

Excellent work.. I love it, i saw this because i have to do an orchestrated composition of any song, and i wanted it to be a videogame song. This is amazing.. 5 Stars

[gamehacker480]

I LIKE IT. It does however make me think of Zelda music more even though it's Brinstar. But hey your doing great.

[Mukikytabahju]

Wow, such talent. So very amazing, dude!
