Always? This is just a single talk on a single issue. It's purpose is to inform game developers about what is possible. Making three violins sound good is indeed way harder, and a great subject for another talk. (I do like writing for quintets though)

Ah bluesky,... ok but still, its a ghost town there

You assume 'success'... 😏 For me, LinkedIn just works better than all the others. I'm not sure why, it just does.

Some kontakt libs are free, also BBC SO has a free version. But yeah, the best libs generally are pretty expensive.

Sorry, but that's quite literally in the description: this is an option for game developers who do not have a large budget, but still want an epic orchestral soundtrack. You can discuss matters of taste, but this is a valid option for lots of smaller studios.

@@MatthijsDierckx ok, so replace people with just a few midi notes because you dont have a budget..i see. same than unreal engine 5 versus real life..

@@MatthijsDierckx Sorry; i was just a Joker.

​@@alexadamcsak5046 bruv, there is quality troll and there is low quality troll, yours was the latter unfortunately

I've seen some great (paid) plugins for musescore, so I guess yes, absolutely!

@MatthijsDierckx The Berlin Series looks great on Musescore from the demos I've seen. To my ear, the free sounds are okay if you know how to use the mixer. It could probably do the job on a shoestring budget.

Great suggestions, I would indeed recommend the BBC free edition as well. I have not come across free libraries for choirs, any suggestion in that area?

@MatthijsDierckx Labs has a pretty decent choir. There's not alot of professional quality free choir vsts, hopefully in the future there will be!

Well, that would be a slightly longer video... There are many tutorials on this. Basically you want to start learning how to write for strings, then brass and wood and percussion, and then how to combine it. At least, that's sort of how I learned it myself.

Oh, I never used something like that. I think you're looking for something like this: vochlea.com/products/dubler2

In some cases you can choose/build the words (some of the East West libs have that option). It is pretty laborious. Mostly you can choose several syllables. In other cases you have short phrases, but you decide the pitch. In short: yes, it's all virtual, and it depends on the library how much control you have.

@@MatthijsDierckx Huge thanks for the answer, very insightful!!

Interesting points. But basically ANY style and workflow can be used for music for games or movies.

LASS 2.5 for the strings, CHORUS for the choirs, BBC Symphony Orchestra for the brass, Audio Imperia Jaeger for one of the solo vocals, East West Voices of Pasion for the Bulgarian vocal.

@@raztube90 In this context big means a big sound. I've written really intimate music when a game needed that. It's neither worse nor better, just different. This talk was solely to explain to game developers that IF they want, they can have a soundtrack (or theme) that sounds big and epic without breaking the bank.

@@Sayaka_saeki Actually, yes. Sort of something I've gotten used to after realizing I always ended up deleting my manual mod wheel input. (It's not particularly efficiënt, I know, but allows for even more control)

With your long experience, do you think it is better modwheel or manual? I'm still learning how to control orchestra music 😊

@@Sayaka_saeki If you can, learn it do with modwheel, it saves time! :)

It is the Bulgarian vocal in EastWest Quantum Leap Voices of Passion.

@@MatthijsDierckx awesome thx a lot :)

@@GaelPucci It's two, indeed the one from Audio Imperia (ao in Jaeger), the one in the third example is the Bulgarian vocal in EastWest Quantum Leap Voices of Passion.

@@MatthijsDierckx sounds great, I’m going to check on Eastwest, never tried their librairies. Thanks!

@@GaelPucci You won't regret it. East West is my go-to for fast and powerful samples.

@@MatthijsDierckx check out the Zero g stuff really great sounding stuff and its pretty cheap.

Yeah, I can see that. Partly it's the hall, partly it's just too much reverb, especially on some of the short string bits.

@@FireF1y644 Those are VSTs, virtual instruments. I wish we had the budget for real choirs. The Costs are based on recordings, but in the end they are actually synthesized. Maybe I'll put ghe first part of the talk on later, that goes into explaining the virtual instruments I use.

@MatthijsDierckx I know that these are samples, but samples ARE real recordings, even AI-generated and wave modeling stuff is made from real recordings. There is no way to escape it (as of now)

Well, I do agree, but you stated 'a recording of real voices', I feel that that is a bit of stretch. Then there would be no difference between actually recording a choir or just using VSTs. I'd still prefer real choirs, of course.

No real voices means you don't have to record with a mic and a bunch of people when you compose it as you don't have the time and money to hire a full choir and wait for their schedule free. VSTs and samples are recorded with real instruments/voices and that is just common sense, other than that would be synths. You got the wrong point.

🤦🏾‍♂️smh buddy. He said no real voices.he clearly meant he is just using samples. If it was actual real people recorded itd sound completely different. Yes the samples are recorded in person but they do not compare to actually recording a piece live

I think this was Audiobro LASS 2.5. Pretty sure.

@@margantsovka6318 Chorus from Audio Imperia.

That's a sampled voice as well.

​Can you give me this library name please !!​@@wietzejohanneskrikke1910

The only true difference is the use of realistic, high-quality (often quite expensive too!) virtual instruments. Half of the comments are just asking which specific ones are used.

@MMMercia There are plenty of chiptunes produced with quality instruments. You can load Yasunori Mitsuda's universally acclaimed work into a DAV and rearrange it if you export it correctly from a PS1 disc…
