"Well, the world of sampling is full of disagreements. I've often released a piece and had someone tell me that one instrument sounded fake while another person raved about how real it sounded. One time I posted a piece with an oboe part I…"

I often write program pieces, but this one is abstract. So I gave an abstract name to it first, later adding a program name "Anaerobic".Big thanks to Irina Kazanskaya for playing piano part for this…Continue

"Hi! Thanks a lot for detailed answers.
I use latest versions of sample modeling for all woodwinds and brass.
Last flute note is short, this is why it sounds strange. You can increase length of note and it will sound ok.
I uploaded NotePerformer…"
"Hi Alexey,
I was curious to listen having read the posts and I agree with Antonio about adding ambience. I do also think that Antonios' sounds are closer in timbre to the real thing, as well as the legato performance and overall feel. What…"
"HI, Alexey,
Yes, those are the tracks.
For note endings, I meant the last note before a silence. Look at the waveform in the files I attached and compare them to your waveforms.
I just listened to the flute sixteenth note pattern at 00:28.032 in…"
"Thanks for added information. So we are talking about this excerpt:

Here are separate tracks for each instrument:

Your remarks:
- I agree that trill sounds…"
"Thanks for the fix. It does sound a lot better, but nowhere near good enough. The flute sounds artificial, particularly the trill around 0:18 and the sixteenth-note pattern I use around 0:27.Note endings seem to cut off in a mechanical way for both…"
"Antonio, thank you for using Composers Tools. I found a bug that erroneously forced all woodwind articulations to glissando, this is why your trio sounded strange I believe. I fixed that and rerun rendering - please check.
These are some of the…"
"The comparisons sound good, but doing better than Sibelius is not much of a challenge, Much more interesting would a comparison with NotePerformer.
I wrote a tool that does some of what you are doing. My base sounds were EastWest Symphonic Orchestra…"
"Excellent results, Alexey!
Your sound is much more enhanced than Sibelius, though I think that if you take the trouble to tweak Sibelius a little you can improve its sound. Did you export a strait midi file from Sibelius and uploaded in Mgen?
I…"
"Hi, Socrates. I am sorry for a long pause, I did not see notification about your message for some reason. Currently system interprets only small part of composers markings. Later it will recognize more markings. Currently recognized:
- Dynamics…"
" Hi Alexey, nice to hear from you after all this time!
Congratulations and good luck on your project. I've heard your demo trumpet on an internet café with lots of street noise, but I still liked it well.
I don’t understand…"
"Hi. Thanks for your reply.
It seems to me that this method already works good for student counterpoint exercises. See example of fully automatic mockup by MGen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLNadlwiDas
Also, here is my piece The…"
"This is very interesting, but I don't think automated mockups are many lightyears away from realism. It still takes the diligence of a human poring over every articulation (specific to the libraries that are used). If you are…"

I am glad to return after a long period of inactivity on the forum.During that time I was trying to build a web service, which allows everyone to upload music in MIDI format and get it performed with professional virtual instruments without installing any software: http://artportal.su/ctrackerI have already implemented Piano, Violin, Trumpet, Horn, Trombone and Tuba.

Okay, I see. Have been away for a while I will listen to your other tune (Walker) now) and be back a few thoughts or advice/opinions if I have any. Haven't had time to read the article. Will asap. Probably during this evening or tomorrow. Interesting stuff!
Btw, feel free to comment on my filmic piece about a tank-battle on Russian soil! At Kursk (not the sub) the
Wehrmacht and Red Army Tanks, met in a fierce battle. Stalin won.
(The fundamental "form" (ABABAB and sometimes a C) is there compositionwise, I just feel I want to develop it more in either a classical or hollywoodesque/Zimmer-direction). But the mix and production is what I need most feedback on, I did it in 2006.
Now listening to Walker.

By the way, I did listen to your quartet. I did not comment because I cant add any constructive comments to this style and you seem to know far more about the style than me.

leased to recommend your website. I think you should link to it on the main age. I wasnt sure how the chord or harmony analyser worked, erhas you could exlain it as it looks very interesting.

- In what way is expmaps (for ewql?) faulty in cubase? I drew the expcurve manually last time i used ewql (which is not often) and ut sounded ås ut should. Typos- writing on my phone. Will listen to the oter piece when I return!

Listening to run now. But here on your page. (Are they different compositionwise?)
This mix of woodwinds is more realistic than Adrian's, they're all in the same hall.
On this quick listen (I was captivated by the compostion!) I didn't listen for subtler mix-issues and have to leave for a few hours soon.Did you use expression and ks?
A very intersteing piece and I enjoyed it and will return for more listens!
Its build-up is truly professional to my ears. Well done!

Just listened to Dark Crusade. There is much to like here, Alch. It sounds like it would work very well on real instruments. and you did a nice job with the midi realization. I'll check out more of it later. Don't be discouraged, there is a lot to listen to on this forum, and it sometimes takes awhile for people to catch up with you. Hell, people hardly ever comment on my music, but that doesn't bother me. I like it, and you have every reason to like yours.
