Michael Jackson's Human Nature

[Demetrio]

Hey all,

Here is my version of Michael Jackson's Human Nature for string quartet, CB and Upright Bass. All with Vienna Instruments. Enjoy!

Human Nature - Arrangement by Demetrio Trombi

Excellent. I like the performance shaping very much and the overall sound as well.

Room: did you use Vienna Suite reverbs, MIR or something else?

Hi Demetrio,

Normally I'm not such a fan of M. Jackson, but your arrangement intrigued me a lot. A wonderful surprising approach in an unusual ensemble. A very fine result for sure. The string effects are the cherry on the cake.

 

Thanks for sharing,

Max

Many thanks Goran, for the reverbs I used MIR in the Teldex Studio - Aufnahmesaal.

Much appreciated Max, I enjoyed playing with various sound possibilities and working with a popular piece meant I could apply unusual combinations and still get the essence of the music across. I'm going to use the same instrumentation for a series of popular songs from different artists and put an album together.

I'm trying to understand how is possible to use Vienna without playing all the parts with a Midi instrument. So I would like to ask you how you have done it passage by passage.

Thank you, Eraldo.

You can use a sequencer to manually enter the notes with a mouse or keyboard. I use the piano editor in Logic Audio which plugs into Vienna Instruments nicely.

Or (if you are working with scores) you can export the score from your notation software as a MIDI file and then import it in your host sequencer (what you'll get is a MIDI equivalent to your printed score (at least as far as pitch and rhythm are concerned), with all the parts already separated and in sync).
