Cinematic music

Post by j_e_f_f_g »

Just for the hell of it, I decided to throw some "cinematic scores" at the No Budget Orchestra, to see how it sounds with the "pop orchestra" music you hear in movies and fancy video games. If you do cinematic music, you'll want to hear this. NBO does well at this.

Because I spent lots of effort smoothing out all anomilies in the samples, NBO has a clearity at even quiet passages. This allows NBO to do very nicely with "soft and delicate" passages. It also has a very smooth transition between soft and loud. Check out the dynamic range in "1.wav".

NBO can also sound quite lush and sweet. Listen how well the choir blends with the wind section in "3.wav".

And the bombbast is there in "2.wav".

These recordings were made entirely on linux, using only the NBO samples loaded into linuxsampler. Qtractor is playing the midi file live into linuxsampler. All the NBO instruments (needed for the score) are loaded and playing. What you're hearing is the actual live stereo playback as recorded by jack_capture. (A little convolution reverb was added to that live mix).

No Wine. No Windows software. No commercial libraries, nor commercial software used. No VST plugins. Just NBO and linux software.

Sounds like 1990s free soundfonts.
