Edit: no, i mean there's another hissing sound. I don't mean the pad, i can hear that aswell. I must say I don't know what you mean :/ I listened several times through some pro headphones (Sennheiser), and haven't noticed any hiss :/ If it's only in the left channel the whole time, that's the pad. ...
No, I even slowed down the tempo of Hungarian Rhapsody because it's too hard to do those fast trills in real tempo, even after 16 years of playing the piano ^^'
Yeah, I'm against that loudness war stuff, although I mainly listen to metal music where that stuff is all over. But there are some gems of bands who don't overuse compression. For example, Pain Of Salvation. Lately I'm more into instrumental and ambiental music, where things don't need to go overbo...
Why not? Compression just weakens the dynamics. Not if you set it right (low compression ratio). Also, none of the tracks here exert that big a dynamic difference between pianissimo and fortissimo (for example), that compressor would kill. I could bring each track to about equal percieved output le...
About the inequality of volume, wouldn't it be better to use something like replaygain instead, seeing that normalization doesn't always give equal results? Ideally, I would put a carefully tweaked multiband compressor and a limiter as the master FX on each OST track, instead of normalizing. Replay...
I have listened every track with headphones, so that I can hear as much details as possible. Afternoon - sounds nice, except those slides on oboe could be done more realistic, meaning that oboe doesn't really do slides, it does glissandi (each note is heard between the starting and ending point, so ...
I hope such things will be included in Omake bonus scenes or something like that, which I hope the game will have. I hope for a really rich omake section!
Still, Nicol could have passed on the MIDI files to Blue123, and he could produce them with better software, to sound better. For example, acoustic guitars sound like a joke (NHF), plus on some tracks piano is so muffled it borders with a toy sound :/ It can all be produced WAY better, and judging b...
OK, here's the recording of the part of Hungarian Rhapsody I did with Pianoteq 3: F. Liszt - Hungarian Rhapsody You can easily hear how the piano breathes, and every nuance of dynamics is conveyed through. Sustain pedal resonances are very real and alive. This is something you don't get with using j...
OK, then I will be anxiously waiting for the response! Btw, "fiddling around with the midi files"? You don't use them when writing stuff for KS, or something like that? ... What I had in mind is - the track is done, the MIDI is sent, the sounds wanted are told, I find those sounds and make...
