Scoring a Halloween sketch with Cinematic Studio Strings, Crow Hill, Spitfire & East West
Happy Halloween!
Today, I'm writing with @cinematicstudioseries2985 Cinematic Studio Strings, @TheCrowHillCo Concussion, @spitfireaudiollp and@EWQLTutorials to sketch a thriller/horror piece of music.
I use only the ensemble patches from CSS for this sketch. They're really useful tools for expressing ideas quickly.
Please comment if you have any questions about my orchestration techniques or how I use Cinematic Studio Strings. I'm happy to share my insights and answer your queries.

Scoring a THRILLER with Omnisphere, Soundtoys, Concussion Drums, Trillian & Spitfire!
มุมมอง 354หลายเดือนก่อน
I am starting on a tremendously exciting new project: I have been commissioned to write the score for a new 40-minute ballet that will tour the U.K. in 2025/26. I can't say too much about it just now, but it is about MURDER, so I'm exploring the dark, foreboding, terrifying side of my music (which is VERY fun!). I'm showing you the first three minutes of this project in this video. The first st...
The Ultimate Legato Comparison? Spitfire Abbey Road Orchestra Strings vs Cinematic Studio Strings!
มุมมอง 1.2K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
In this video, I compare the legatos of @spitfireaudiollp Abbey Road Orchestra Symphonic Strings and @cinematicstudioseries2985 Cinematic Studio Strings, my two main string libraries. I also compare the default mixes of ARO and CSS and use some close mics to blend. It's not perfect programming, but it should hopefully give you an insight into how these two fantastic (and very different) string ...

Blending Cinematic Studio Strings & Spitfire BBC SO Pro together - is this string orchestra heaven?!
มุมมอง 1K4 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today, I've written a concise demo in which I blended @cinematicstudioseries2985 Cinematic Studio Strings and @spitfireaudiollp BBC SO Pro to form a large string orchestra. I use CSS's close mics and BBC SO Pro's room mics to achieve my sound. I start with just the violins and then show you how I use different microphone positions and other techniques to combine these two string libraries. I st...

East West Hollywood Strings 2: review of their chamber orchestra-sized string ensemble!

As a Composercloud subscriber (as I have been for years; they were the first company I used for virtual instruments!), I had to check out their new Hollywood Strings 2. It's a 21-piece chamber orchestra-sized string orchestra, and (I think) it will bring a dazzling warmth, intensity and intimacy to my scores - what do you think? 00:00 Intro 01:23 Playback of piece 03:17 “Soft” mode 05:14 Violin...

Vivid Strings by Pulse Audio: first reaction. Logic Pro review
มุมมอง 3.1K6 หลายเดือนก่อน
I was thrilled that Pulse Audio sent me a couple of instruments from their Vivid Strings to check out. This video is of my first impressions - I literally just downloaded the instruments and got fired in, with no research and no reading, so this is truly my first, unfiltered thought on these wonderful string instruments. You can learn more and purchase the instruments here: pulse.audio/product/...
Fight or Flight - orchestral score: Cinematic Studio Strings, Infinite Brass, Spitfire & Eastwest
มุมมอง 4087 หลายเดือนก่อน
This is the first orchestral piece I've written with Cinematic Studio Strings in my orchestral template. The mix and piece are far from perfect, but I've written a lot of slow music recently, so I wanted to get three minutes of fast, loud, aggressive music down on paper. In this piece, CSS is joined by Infinite Brass, BBCSO Pro (woodwinds and some percussion), and some EastWest Hollywood Orches...
