Of course you do. $4000 plugins? Umptymillion gigabyte processing? You're just showing off and advertising a fully professional product on a site dedicated to amateurs of meagre means exercising their hobby. GTFO of my face.
I think you forgot for a moment you weren't in The Cave.
Come back when yo are feeling better
Bravo Po.
To be fair this really does sound way beyond what yer regular home-recordist can do. I guess that should mean a hearty round of kudos to the OP. Are you for fuckin' real, dude? I assume/hope you're getting paid for this.
I agree. I apologise unreservedly to the OP. I think I'd seen my arse, as we say in England.

That last comment TOTALLY cracked me up, but your point is well taken. It doesn't take a lot of gear to reach that "mystical" 4k mark. Welcome to HR, AA ... great stuff. I spun some of your other material, and wondered how you got the "female" singer that opens your "Seeds of Destiny - Bleeding Fingers" track. The closest thing I was able to come to in a singer was a vocaloid, yet she sounded totally "real". Was she?
"Come and Get Them" is piece I just finished up for a TV series. It's got a bit of the "epic trailer" kind of vibe in a few spots, but it's mostly just a standard "action" type cue. Let me know if you have any criticisms or thoughts, particularly with regards to the mix. Thanks!

Actually, the vocalist in that piece was real; I got the stem from the batch that you got with the competition (you had to orchestrate around it). That said, there are some quite convincing vocal libraries out there, including 8dio's "Requiem" and East West's choir libraries. You can get East West Symphonic Choir for pretty cheap these days and, IMO, with a bit of tweaking it's still the most versatile vocal library on the market.
I'm afraid I don't agree. The East/West sample sets are amazing (and expensive) but there are others out there that are almost as good. It really depends more on skill set than the tools that you use, at least once you get beyond a 4-track cassette deck where you have to bounce tracks to build up an orchestral sound. I orchestrate on my own home system, both symphonic and non-traditional. I've sunk at least $4K into my system over the years (and its been many years) and it is, at least, technically capable of producing mixes of this quality. It's the talent I lack, not the tools.To be fair this really does sound way beyond what yer regular home-recordist can do.
Wow, this is killer!! Impressive man. I bought a Gold edition of EWQL Symphonic Orchestra, but as I'm still running WinXP (I know) I can hardly run more than 3 master key switches simultaneously
