Great work there, and particularly I love that little hint of the original soundtrack in the beginning of The Necromancer. It's actually better than the original OST. I love it!

Also Kindled Hope I love because it builds up so subtly, and like the aforementioned, it feels so complete.

Now put them on the FB page :w00t:

Thank you :p Right now I'm waiting for a collaboration with another film score composer to kick off, but I guess it will take a while for us to plan and sort out everything. (Personally I would like to do a remix of some of the Street Fighter soundtrack themes like Guile's theme).

 

Meanwhile you can listen to TSFH or Thomas Bergersen's albums "Sun" and "Illusion". :) They're one of my favorites.

 

Renny, post these on the Revora FB page.  

Yesh yesh! Do as he says!

Shared to Revora and the T3A page. This is probably the project which I'm most interested in now, there's some serious talent here!

Greetings :) Thanks a lot for listening, highly appreciated.

 

I mostly use KONTAKT libraries as you can find some of the best orchestral patches there, but if you tell me what plugins you use I may be able to make a better recommendation.

 

You can also share your tracks here or by PM if you want.

 

Cheers.

I find it awkward to deal with. It's such a CPU-greedy bitch.

(Though it does produce phenomenal results, I concede. I think I just like each VST seperate.)

Strange. when it comes to large patches, KONTAKT has one of the best CPU management algorithms out there. Compare it to something like PLAY and you will understand. :p

 

However there are many things that could create CPU hogs, better look into various host and KONTAKT settings.

 

You may (actually should) want to open one instance of KONTAKT and send out as many MIDI channels as you can. I usually use around 10 MIDI channels per instance since more than that proved to make things unstable for me. That will significantly reduce CPU consumption.

 

KONTAKT like any other plugin can't produce any result unless you know how to use it properly, as well as the library that you're using inside. :p
