Dear all Notion users...
Here is my latest piece of music.
The goal of such massive orchestration was to practice all my past readings on Orchestration, color, contrast, balance of tones... Notion 4 allows us to more quickly do such a massive orchestration easily, thing that was harder with my sonar x2...
this is quite a massive orchestration with a lot of different soundlibraries...
(strings16/16/12/10/8) / piccolo / Flutes I-II-III / Hautbois I-II / Cors Anglais / Clarinettes I-II / Bassons I-II / Contrebasson / Cors i-II-III-IV / Trompettes I-II-III / Trombones I-II-III / Tuba / Timpani / Crotales / Tubular Bells / Vibraphone / Marimba / Temple Block / Cymbale / Tam-Tam / Gong / Harpe I-II / Violon solo

I used Synful for the strings Wallander instruments for winds and brass, with some complement instruments from Notion and Vienna symphonic Library and Miroslav Vitous. Most of the percussion are from the wonderfull Notion expansion sounds (with lots of articulations!).
I am not sure that this should be the last version, but it could be shared...
I realy hope that some of you will enjoy it and give their feedback!
cheers!

I enjoyed the pseudo-minimalism into such a maximalist piece of music.

Whaou!!! Thank you very much, this warm my heart!
This music is quite new in my music exploration, while I still have no idea if I achieved something good... Too much time exploring and working our music make us have a strange look on it, and new ears also help us to have some necessary distance with it.
You beautifully abstract my creative approach...
This is realy great to hear some feedback! Thank you again Fabio!

A wonderfull composition! I am impressed.

Kind regards,
Frieda

Thank you Frieda!!! the finality of our work is the music itself! this is realy great to hear that you like it!!!
I only used Notion4, with my custom rules for Synful and Wivi band.
This is directly mastered thru Notion 4 export / no editing / no further mastering.
In addition to Notion+expansion sounds+Miroslav+Vienna+Synful+wiviband, I used the folowing plugins:
-Thrillseeker XTC Blue (aural exciter)-Vintage Aural Exciter+Quantum Leap Spaces+TransX Multi Stereo (on Synfull Double basses)-Cakewalk Channel Tools(to add 1000ms delay to play simultanously with Synful with DFE)-MAutoEqualizerLinearPhase-Kramer Master Tape-L1+ Ultramaximizer.
but the most important is that it sounds real... things that is incredibly inspiring...
and another aspect of realistic orchestral sounding is to manage well the overall number of players:
I have always have been a suporter of real auto-divisi sections of instruments, as opposed to section of instruments sampled: Synful and Wivi Band have this function, and this avoid to sound "too big/or messy" and allows to seek more sofisticated harmony and sounding real.
A section of 16strings, when I wrote two or three notes per staff, Synful or Wiwiband divide its number of players, this helps a lot for sounding realistic and helps you to search for more sophisticated harmony...
here are shared some of my tips...
