Coming Soon....

PostWed Jun 16, 2021 6:36 pm

So, it's that time again, folks!

We are well on the way to finish off our next set - I don't have an exact release date, but it will be sometime this summer.

This is just the 2-channel close perspective, so bear in mind the 4-channel version will sound much richer and with more (longer) reverb. That said, this is the set with the longest reverb we've sampled to date.... it's been quite the learning curve!

Enjoy, and as we get more of this voiced, I'll post more demos.

Thanks, Jean!

More demos to come… we are doing voicing and balancing, so it may take awhile to get the set out. It’s a lot of fun to play….

I've been chasing bugs and voicing - still a ways to go yet, but it's getting there:

This is the first two movements of the Durufle op. 5 Suite.

Any more tidbits?

Production has slowed quite a bit - I recently started a new job, and while I’m learning the ropes and fixing problems I’ve been working 6-7 day weeks… so once I’m home I don’t have as much time nor energy to work on the set, I’m afraid. The direct version is complete and working, but some further voicing and other tweaks still are needed… we’re starting on the more remote perspective, but it may be awhile before we can get it done.

In the meanwhile, we’ve sampled a historic 1898 Steere, and it is ready for release, I just need to get the website finished…. Sneak preview: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1YaLPWm ... p=drivesdk

Time for an update:
This sample set is getting close - we're finishing off the ambient channels (this is just the more direct perspective). No added reverb....

Apologies for the occasional slip - I hardly play anymore these days now that I'm out of FT church music.

Excellent sound :-)

Great playing, also. I assume you're the performer?

Thanks, L.

It is going to be something special, this one. The combination of a live room (but not obnoxiously so - about 3-4 sec of reverb) and the Cavaille-Coll style voicing is quite lovely. We have done a bit of voicing, but the character of it shines through in spectacular fashion. Between the challenges of recording during the pandemic, a noisy traffic situation, 4 channels in a live room, sampled trems on the G.O. Réc. and Pos., and implementing some detuning sliders…. It’s been a challenge.

Barring any unforeseen bugs (and fixing one last issue) it should release soon.

Snort... 4 seconds is when it stops sounding like a dry lecture hall! Glad you're including ambient mic positions -- thank you! :D

Getting close - one more teaser:

I posted this piece earlier in the thread, but that was before we added the ambient perspective, detuning sliders and finished the voicing.

Almost there, folks!
