Hi All,
So this is my very first time working with samples and this is my very first mock-up. Ravel seems to be the composer of choice here so I decided to pick something that was orchestrationally simple in scale for my first time out of the park.
I thought I'd put my work on the chopping block and see if anyone has any comments or advice. I've been reading a lot on here about how people work with samples, and I' ve been, through much trial and error, trying to nail down my own working method.
This took me about 15 hours, after working through all the core audio overload messages and settings, but I finally got everything working correctly....I think. Anyway, balance is really hard for me, as I don't have a good set of monitors, and I don't have a good stereo imager. Altiverb's speaker placement options caused much frustration initially and I'm still not quite satisfied with the placement of the instruments. The strings still sound a little off to me, but oh well.
So, here we go, I've got some images of my session and altiverb settings as well as the mp3 (1:41)
