[Fmpro] virtual orchestra awesomeness?

[Christopher Alpiar]

There is a kind of cool thread on the Composer's Forum about a digital  
arrangement I worked on earlier this year that went through quite a  
few layers of public ideas and suggestions. I wouldn't point to myself  
as being the place to go to learn sampled orchestration but I have put  
in quite a bit of time and this thread in particular is pretty  
revealing on the processes I went through from my first full  
arrangement complete of this cue to a very different and more robust  
and more live sounding . The tips I got along the way were all from  
really remarkable composers. I left it all posted, including the  
original versions that were kind of weak to make a reference of what  
the suggestions did for the piece. Here it is:

not sure if you have to join just to read the post or not, but if you  
do its pretty easy to sign up and its a very cool community ;-)

Cheers

Chris
