Examples of Sibelius used with VSL?

[Mahlon]

Does anyone have any orchestral examples using Sibelius with VSL? I'm curious how this sounds -- the level of realism which can be attained through a notation program with VSL.

Thanks in advance if you have something to post.

Mahlon,

not full orchestral but Brass 1&2 and special brass. This is the final movement of a symphony for brass band and uses piccolo trumpet, cornets (10), horns (3), wagner tubas (2), Euphoniums (2), tenor trombones (2), bass trombone, bass (2) & contrabass (2) tubas, timpani and lots of percussion.

The MP3 is a virtual performance entirely created and recorded in sibelius. The performing score is littered with keychange notes and midi control date largely to control the velocity xfade. There are 3 VEs with about 27 instruments. The main problem with this performance is the mix which I am entirely green about but hope to improve over time. I haven't yet got my head round panning properly. The reverb is the feeware "Ambience".

Whilst there is much to be desired I like what I've achieved and am conficent when I've honed my skills particulary with the mixing side you could create a really good performance in this way. The second link is to the score (published not performing) on my sibelius home page.

Thanks for posting that movement. That gives a good enough 'picture' of what the final might sound like -- and, as you say, after you've finessed the mix a bit, it should sound really quite good.

I like the music, too! [:D]

This is my current project. Almost  everything played back by Sibelius.

I wrote this in India on a laptop... Special Edition,"mixed" in Sibelius with Breverb for reverb. Got hooked on the muted trumpet patch!

I'd love to hear other examples from users too. This is an interesting and rapidly evolving direction it seems. Especially happy to see Sibelius integration within PT 8.
