Häxan - VSL and Live musicians

[stefan_telser]

Hi all,

Continuing my exploration of mixing VSL and Live Players.

Häxan

Piano, Bassoon and Uprigth Bass are from VI - Full Libraries.

The Flute and the Brass section have been performed and multitracked by a life musician.

Mixed in Cubase with MIR24 andStudio Weiler.

Any comments and suggestions are much appreciated.

Best
Stefan

That sounds flawless, there is no audible difference between live and sampled!  ALso I like that piece and wish there was more of it.

Thanks William,

that means a lot coming from someone who has quite some impressive publications with VSL himself!

I always struggled with length. My workflow still is so slow.

The VSL samples are amazingly realistic, that's for sure.

Thanks
Stefan

Very nice, Stefan!  I've experimented with the live players/VSL set-up as well, and am in fact, working on an album with clarinet, accordion, and VSL orchestra/chamber combinations right now.  Your results are impressive and encouraging that such projects can work!

Cheers,

Dave

Thanks Dave!

I rely heavily on MIR.

This time I experimented with different directions in MIR. I think it was Paul who pointed out in one post, that it migth be a good idea to point instruments away from the mic.

It seems to work great for the French Horns.
They point to the wall anyway in real life.

MIR Setup

Thanks
