Nowadays it is extremely easy to make orchestral-sounding music. Sample libraries have come to the point where an untrained ear will have a very hard time telling the difference. What most people working in this field do lack though, is the knowledge of how the instruments they are working with work, thus achieving human-sounding orchestral music is definitely still challenge hard to overcome.I had the luck of working with both real orchestras and sampled ones and both in professional studios: I know that the “perfection” of a great-sounding orchestra is in the tons of small imperfections every instrument has in an ensemble context. I do like to think I have the greatest respect for instruments and players, and when it comes of samples, that extra care needed to get the best out of them in terms of realism and playability (should real players come in at any time, lucky you). This said, make no mistake, I adore having fun with it. I like it loud and massive and epic and majestic and yes pizzicato strings are cool but walls of drums are ruling the soundtrack world today, so that’s what I like to do. Text me for the epic, consider me for the dramatic, mmaybe think about giving me something fun, avoid me for electronic/dance/orchestral stuff. Love u
