Sharing - Valhalla Room - Large Orchestra

I really like the sound of this little reverb plug-in. Continuing with a sample of using it on a large orchestral piece. It really warms up my mixes and adds great depth.

Let me know what you think!

Ahoy idiotSavant-

Just got a chance to listen to this - really nicely done! Valhalla creates a great, subtle wash for the whole thing.

Really love that verb...

Out of curiosity, I wonder what the piece would sound like with native Notion instruments. Probably not as rich or quite as much depth, to be sure, but still an A/B comparison would be a cool exercise...

Wow! Just got to the choir bit!

How'd you get the syllables to sound out so well?!? Do you have a special patch or something?!

MUST. OBTAIN. YOUR. SECRETS!!!! ;-)

Please disregard the typing of the dunderhead above, as he was to simple-minded to notice when one piece had simply ended and a new one had begun.

Still, your Rachmoninov is quite a piece!

Kurt, I think you must have gotten pushed over to a recording by Phillipe Baylac. Some of the work he's done with Requiem is really amazing.

Yves over on another post suggested EW choirs. I might take a look at those as well. I wasn't prepared to spend a lot on choirs and I remembered I had Miroslav Philharmonik. It's easy to play with that a little. This was my first attempt at recording a choir.

Thanks for the comps on the Vocalise piece. I do like the wash that the ValhallaRoom gives. I'm still playing with it for the best settings.
