Hi Community!

I've made my first orchestralic map loading theme. Loads of violins and pianoplay.
Hope this frames the whole charcter of Project Reality!

Enjoy it!

Very nice! If I had a map I'd ask to use it. The violin at times seems a bit too much compares to everything else but that's probably just me :)

Everything is perfect, except for the violin in the beginning and the end - feels kinda too fake(computer generated) and synthetic and that ruins it. For the rest, I love it. Replayed a few times to enjoy the melody)))

It is very good!! Indeed the violin feels very computerish, it stops too much from one note to the other :)

You know why famous orchestra conductors are wildly flailing their arms around during performances? To on the fly adjust the musicians' intensity , especially string sections, to express emotional swings in the artistic presentation. Your strings have almost no, maybe none at all changes in pitch, intensity(which is the hard one to master without dual footpedals in MIDI), volume, etc,

And as you're sitting at a MIDI bank, you can/should also be the string musicians and adjust vibrato, tremolo , timbre , pitch, etc.

I have limited experience, but I found it easiest to set up two weighted foot pedals , one going on pitch, the other on vibrato/staccato/and/or/tremolo , and your keyboard or hand paddle/trim on the other vibrato/staccato/and/or/tremolo, and start out either adding highlights to a single string bank, or splitting off the harmonic or melody 1st voilin/viola from the string bank chords to use as a separate channel. So either start by adding highlights to the new separate chanel, or add sweeping changes (you are not Homer Simpson, keep it classy), tot he entire string bank. Then go back and do the other.

Also, your Timpanis have no intensity shifts at all, basic stuff taught early to teenage percussionists. Go back and listen to Mahlers 2nd , or Beethoven's 9th movement 2, listen how the timpanis build,and how the percussionists move from the edge of the timpani towards the center, to change the tonality as they crescendo. You CAN recreate that with footpedals and paddles.

Same with the bells solo, there is a lack of post production, you got to go back and hand craft that solo like you're playing it on a physical instrument.
