Really nice rendition of this wonderful composition, these virtual instruments are really shining but your programming is first class. Many Blessings, Max
Oh c'mon... this is INSANELY AWESOME!😲💯🔥 ..... I came back to say more after watching some of your videos on this channel: you are a Maestro signore Luigi Zaccheo!
Che artistaaa, in tutti i sensi...Grande Lui, seppur in ritardo ascolto sempre volentieri i tuoi nuovi lavori, grandissimo, ti auguro anche un Buon Natale , anche questo in ritardo
First time I listened to this, I was thinking that I was listening to the real musicians, and I was waiting for the MIDI + SWAM instruments to begin their own section - ie an A vs B comparison. Only at the end, reading comments, did I realize it was all MIDI + SWAM. Mind-blowing! I played trumpet and French horn as a kid, and your programming of the piccolo trumpet was superb.
@@luigizaccheo I am leaning towards getting the full bundle. My projects and production methods are similar to yours, though I hope to master real-time performance via keyboard + expressive controllers (breath, etc)
ciao Ginger, grazie per il tuo commento. il suono che senti è quello degli strumenti originali e sono bilanciati quasi esclusivamente dalla dinamica della loro esecuzione. Li ho collocati in un palco virtuale con il software VSS dalla Parallax ed ho usato un riverbero a convoluzione per la coda
Wonderful work! Long ago (in the 1980's) I used many synthesizers to approximate a full symphonic sound. These modeled instruments take things to an entirely new level! Such precision and delicacy! And excellent choice, emulating Ms. Balsom. Can you tell me if all these instruments were playing together in real time (without bouncing), and how many 'instruments' can play 'tutti' with your computer? Many thanks!
many thanks for your comment Futur Foto. The instruments you see in the video were all playing in real time. I believe my current computer can handle 25-30 SWAM at the same time
@@luigizaccheo Thanks so much for your reply. It sounds as though this would work well on my system as well. I just 'upgraded' from the fastest iMac 2019 (not the pro) to the new M1 Mac Mini and 32" screen. So far it is very capable with Logic X. Do you think your system might be approximately comparable to either of those? Thanks and best wishes, Randall
Hi, Luigi! I really appreciate what you do! Your realism with SWAM instruments very inspired me! I would like to learn how to do it. All controllers, automation etc. I have all SWAM instruments. I also teach at school and the children are very interested in learning more about SWAM. Can I buy this project of yours?
@@luigizaccheo also you are clearly a maestro knowing how they all should sound and how they work. I'm trying to learn. Maybe I'll ask you for some guidance.
Wonderful ! You didn't play even a single instrument. But one thing more surprise me is how did you make these players' performance to synchronize your music ? ???? !!!
Audio Modelling should hire you to produce an in-depth tutorial of the SWAM instruments. Advanced techniques information is sorely lacking online about these amazing instruments. If you decide to setup a donation page, let me know I will be the first in line with a contribution. Thanks for posting.
many thanks ramon, I have been collaborating with Audiomodeling friends for some time and this demo is a way to demonstrate their potential. If you like, you can listen to others on my channel
Can you please explain what you meant when you said: "I wrote everything on the piano roll". I'm not familiar with that way of playing swam instruments. I had always assumed that you simply had to use some kind of controller and actually play each note. BTW, I'm astounded by what you did. BRAVO!!!
Hi Wolfgang, thank for your feedback. I wrote everything in step mode on the Cubase sequencer. first I programmed the notes and then the expression parameters such as bow speed, bow pressure, vibrato intensity and speed etc. you can see an example on my video ruclips.net/video/HECctiLOwDA/видео.html at time 0:44. goodbye
Luigi Zaccheo dear Luigi you made a fantastic work! How did you turn the Swam solo strings (which I have to) to a small orchestra? Paning each section? For example 1st violins 64 R/ 54 R/ 44 R/ 34/R ? And then adjusting the reverb too? Incredibile Luigi! Fantastico!
@@CinematicSoul80 you need to position each instrument in the environment using tools like MIR, Virtual Sound Stage or EarVerb2, slightly detune each instrument, change "Instrument" (i.e. body impulse response) and slightly differentiate velocities, expression and note-on timing
Luigi, I listen and learn it 3-d day, it's absolutely incredible!!! May I ask you more information about this work? (Your specs, VST-plugs, Guitar-VST, Automatization etc.) I'd like to learn it better! If you can, my box is: sergeybaeff@gmail.com Thanks again, your work really inspired me!
Hi @@mustechnology, I programmed the musical execution of SWAM with Cubase Pro 10.5 .... I used all the cc that I deemed necessary to manage the expressiveness of the strings: expression, spiccato, bow change, detache etc. For the harpsichord I used an instrument from the kontakt factory library, while for the guitar, I simply used a nylon guitar, not having a baroque guitar available
I've never heard a more realistic virtual sound of strings! What about sound processing? EQ, Reverb, Compress etc.? You already wrote that all this was drawn by hand, and not played on the MIDI keyboard. Really?
Absolutely incredible! Just watched the original version, and then listening back to the virtual version, and it's amazing how close you got. Great stuff. What VIs were you using for guitar and harpsichord - these are not SWAM instruments if I understand correctly.
Wow! that's great! I'm really happy that you enjoyed! 😍 for the guitar, not having a baroque guitar I used an old nylon guitar library, with strumming up and down, while for the harpsichord I always use Pianoteq
Bravo! Very impressive. Everytime I put two SWAM instruments together they come out sounding like they're underwater. What reverb are you using? Any other mixing/mastering effects?
Moreover you need to slightly detune the instruments, change "Instrument" (i.e. body impulse response) and slightly differentiate velocities, expression and note-on timing
Very impressive indeed. A new benchmark in MIDI musicality.
Uncanny! I can watch it over and over. I bought every SWAM package -- including instruments I'll probably never even use. 🌞
Really nice rendition of this wonderful composition, these virtual instruments are really shining but your programming is first class. Many Blessings, Max
ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!
Alison You are fantastic 💘

many thanks for your feedback D & G! I am very pleased that you have enjoyed my works!
This is unbelievable good, well programmed, with a lot of musicality
Great, i like what you did. i am a big fan of Audiomodeling, SWAM. 🍻😍👍
Nature has been concerned with everything, talent associated with beauty. Extraordinary.
true Paolo, I hope you also liked this virtual imitation of the talented Alison :)

Woah!!!
Just Spellbound..
That's a great deal of work..
many thanks Nithin! SWAM tinstruments are really very expressive, you just have to learn to program them
@@luigizaccheo ..and recreating an original performance is the best way to learn programming it.
You are absolutley crazy good

Very fantastic demo 👍👋👋
Impressive. I just got the SWAM instruments.
Wow, impressive, thank you!
Che vittoria caro Luigi.. sempre una meraviglia riascoltare i tuoi lavori! 😁
detto da te vale doppio carissimo Dario! hai sentito che belli questi SWAM? Ti abbraccio forte
ПОТРЯСАЮЩАЯ ТРУБА !!! 😊😊😊👍👍👍
Wonderful, amazing job. I was wondering if you could show us your strings setup for this "baroque" sound.
thanks for the feedback Caio Cesar, I didn't use a particular setup to get this sound, I used a different SWAM for each performer
Musicians will retire sooner or later...feel sorry for them :( This is Incredible !!
Cool!!!
suoni davvero realistici... ottima anche la sincronia
Geen woorden voor zo mooi!!!!!!!!
НАСЛАЖДЕНИЕ. ..!!! ❤ ❤ ❤
Really impressive! DIGIAMOLO!
ahahah assolutamente!!
ciao Luigi potrebbe fare un video dove spiega come ha mixato gli strumenti? mi farebbe piacere. grazie

The original performance : ruclips.net/video/3mGcN2CMpwM/видео.html
I have to ask to confirm. Is the idea that the music is not what the musicians are playing but all recorded with SWAM vst instruments?
Hi Lautro, I confirm. the music you listen to is entirely made with virtual instruments
@@luigizaccheo really amazing and inspiring
@@LautaroArino many thanks! I'm happy that you like it. SWAM interments are very expressive

Hi George, I synchronized the original audio with Cubase and then I performed the virtual orchestration with the SWAM instruments
Thank you; now I got. You must spend a lot of time on this job.. My respect to you !

many thanks Steve, for the early reflections I used Parallax VSS and for the tail the Steinberg REVerence. Nothing else
Moreover you need to slightly detune the instruments, change "Instrument" (i.e. body impulse response) and slightly differentiate velocities, expression and note-on timing
So was all of this done with automation and piano roll work or did you play it in with keyboard/breathe control etc...?
hi GGAVV, I wrote everything on the piano roll, without playing anything with keyboard or other controls
The entire thing is SWAM, only the video is the actual ensemble? Or is only the trumpet SWAM?
Hi Matt, everything you listen to has been done with SWAM
Wow, very very impressive work Luigi, both by you recording it and by the SWAM team creating the instruments! Congratulations!
Hi Luigi, magnificent ! very impressive & an eye-opener to what is possible with modeled instruments ...
May I ask which VST you use for the Cembalo ?
hi o.D.I.L. many thanks! For the Cembalo I used the Kontakt Factory Library
Thanks Luigi !
Hi Luigi, so for the avoidance of doubt, you reproduced this performance using SWAM physical modelling? Very impressive sounds and programming by you!
Hi Hope & Tea, that's it, many thanks for your feedback
Just change the Mani Reverb for a deeper and brighter one...in my opinion it will sound much better!
many thanks for your feedback Rafael!
Trumpet didn't sound real. It wasn't programmed well with the constant dynamics. The rest sound decent.
mah.....yes yes...sure...thank you! :P
Strings sound good. Picc is terrible
thanks for your feedback Bellend, please consider that the trumpet was still in alpha version
@@luigizaccheo Sorry my feedback was a bit blunt; there was much that impressed me in your recording.
Lol. OMFG - Jeezus. I'm literally laughing listening to this. Not even close. It's an interesting exercise but no - utter fail.
uuuuh I'm so sorry you didn't like it
Brassplyer. I will try my best to please you. Thanks for your feedback
Scam!
