2/1/2024 0 Comments Dorico elements![]() I felt the flutes were a bit ‘breathy’ on the attack phase. You’ll notice on the Saxes I used a notch filter insert on the Dorico mixer, as to ‘my ears’ there were some buzz-like overtones that I personally found a bit too much for this ‘school wind band’ sound (would probably sound great in a Jazz or R&B mix though). Using the play tab, I changed the end points for each stave accordingly to use my new Instruments as I built them.įrom there I just built out sections by cloning instruments and tweaking them all a bit (detune, pan, some filter and dynamic attack tweaks so each slot sounds a little different, etc). Effectively, I set it up to ‘layer’ multiple instrument slots over like MIDI channels. I went into ‘options’ inside HSSE and disabled General MIDI, thus unlocking the Channel settings in the MIDI tab, and also freeing up channel 10 for things other than drum sets. JH Star Spangled Banner HSSE Mix.dorico (1.5 MB)īasically all I did was start new instances of HSSE for each instrument family. Here is the project so you can have a look at what I’ve done in HSSE to stage and shape the sound. Just a quick example of one of many methods to expand that National Anthem mix to a larger ensemble using HSSE and sounds that ship with Dorico Elements. In short, using what comes in the box, one can build some pretty rich and nice sounding ensembles! At first it can take a little time, but you do get to save them, and use them again and again as a base template for future projects. The quick and dirty version simply uses some chorus effects, while yet another approach is to start splitting sections or family groups off into fresh HSSE instances, cloning instruments and setting them to like channels, detuning some of them a bit and applying some other tricks to prevent losing much of it to wave-canceling issues (can happen when stacking the same samples again and again), panning them out, etc. I’ll have to come back later to explain some ways to get that effect. ![]() Next thing I want to do is go for a band sound that’s all staged out and set in a nice ambient context instead of just having one player per part. ![]() To this (After simply changing all expression maps to “Default” so Dorico interprets dynamics to use Velocity and CC7): I went from this (Dorico’s defaults after choosing the Elements sound template): So, just by changing ALL of the expression maps in this project to “Default”: Note On Velocity = Filter adjustments and/or sample layer changes and/or attack dynamic/envelope choices/manipulation.ĬC71 - 78 = HALion’s Quick Controls (knobs across the bottom of the plugin) Really, very few if any of these HALion Basic or Artist library sounds should be using Mod Wheel (CC1) Dynamics!įor the most part the standard of these two libraries (Basic and Artist) are: I personally prefer using the “Velocity + CC11” expression map to start out with (keeps the expression volume CC11 separate but relative to the master volume CC7 on MIDI export), but either will work fine, and the ‘Default’ map will sound sound ‘louder’ without having to make any tweaks to boost the main levels if you prefer a louder mix.
