Very nice, especially the pentatonic one!

Always gratifying to hear well done examples of the course.

fourths are fun! https://www.dropbox.com/s/f6vfij84ldnafo2/FOURTHS AND FIFTHS.wav?dl=0

As always, skillfully done!

I thought i'd share few stingers I made for a video game.

Nice stuff!

Love the sketch and the orchestration, Lauri. Ugh, Noteperformer... doesn't do it justice. I say, put aside a day or two, and blast this out as a mockup. Love the use of H4's in this. Nice work!

I don’t think this is NotePerformer playback.

Please correct me if I’m wrong, in which case I’ll stand corrected. I may simply be listening to the wrong clip.

those are orchestral tools + vsl harp and solo flute from symphobia 2

I re-scored this animation and the piece is from it

Lauri, I say this in a supportive way, you should work on your mockup spatialization, and the performance in of the MIDI lines. They are not "set up" on the soundstage correctly, and the legato performances have some of that "sucking" sound as the legatos move around. Try stacking staccatos and portatos on your legato line, to fake the sound a bit.

Again, this is wholly different from your composition, which is great! And, please, take my feedback as one EIS'er trying to help another!

Oh, My Apologies, Arne, it's NOT Noteperformer. I'm so sorry.

FWIW, I'm a big user of Noteperformer, and I've gotten some pretty decent representations from it. Here's a NotePerformer render (full orch score) from a sci-fi game theme I did a while ago. All Noteperformer.

No need for apologies. The timbre and expression just didn't seem to match NP's.

I realise we're a bit off topic, but regarding your posted clip, is this rendered with NotePerformer 1.x?

Umm, I *think* NP 2.x.

No worries. Just checking! FWIW, NotePerformer 3 would probably do wonders to this piece.

Hey guys,
I am 2/3rds through book 2 (which equals around 6 months) and did this piece to explore some darker harmonies. @Farkle asked me to share this here.
I had no former music education before EIS besides school knowledge + some YouTube videos (for good or bad *lol*), in case that is important to you.

Nice use of 7th and 9th chords with Scale #11, Chris. I think you developed a good, contemporary action/horror cue with this, and it develops really nicely! Never gets boring, has a sense of waves of building dread. Very musical and cinematic. Nice work!
