| 25-10-08 / 18:34 : Batman soundtrack : real orchestra & QLSO mix (cjed) |
| Until now it was common for film composers to sketch songs ideas with samples libraries (QLSO, VSL, etc.) in order to compose and arrange quickly, and then to record a real orchestra performance for final mix. From this thread at soundsonlines forums, we learn that for the last Batman (The Dark Night) score James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer in fact mixed together the real orchestra part with samples library (QLSO plus another personal - and non commercial - library), in order to add power to the recording. It reminds me my "double-mix" for my masters 4 to 8 albums (these songs were remixed in 2004, I merged the original versions from 1994-98 with some completely different new arrangements made with the XV). We also learn that StormDrum (version 2 it seems as it is listed among James H. librairies) was used a lot in the movie. To conclude with the last message in the thread, all that works is used to enhance music (I still merged Roland Orchestral Strings II from SRX06 with those from QLSO Gold on the song SO_LyrStrings, and Kontakt 2 VSL strings with SO Gold on another song). |
