Official JWFan mock ups and fan-made recordings thread!


Jay

Recommended Posts

You guys are funny. No one said anything about TinTin - I was just asking about an accordion because I want to mock up a cue that uses it. Through the power of google, I found out that EWQLSO Platinum apparently has accordion, but I only have EWQLSO Gold, which doesn't.

I swear on my mother's life I don't have any TinTin recording sessions, or know anyone who might.

EDIT: I typed that 20 minutes ago, but apparently forgot to click "post"

Thanks Esther, I'll check that library out!

We are not suspecting (atleast I am not) you of having any tintin recording sessions, in fact I sincerely believe you do not have them, but there is justified suspicion that you do have sheet music from Tintin. but even then, its a very outlandish suspicion

All I can say is:

1. There are certainly more scores out there in the world than just Tintin that feature accordion.

2. Just because somebody listened to an mp3 tagged a certain way doesn't mean it was real. I've listened to an album tagged as Howard Shore's King Kong score that turned out to be John Frizzel's Primeval. Just saying.

Then you should have nothing to worry about.

Since EWQLSO Gold doesn't have a contrabass clarinet, what is the next closest instrument I could use instead?

Same for Alto Sax?

You mean a contrabass clarinet? The closest would be a bass clarinet, with an extra octave added below, along with a slightly tweaked timbre and volume.

Alto sax? You could go with a tenor sax, but it wouldn't be as easy to replicate, since there's a big difference in tone.

You'll want to double-click on the MIDI object to open up the MIDI editor. Then you should see the individual notes. Select them all, and then look at the first note and pay attention to which piano key it's on. (Doesn't matter if you know the names - just look at where it fits into the pattern of white and black keys. The black keys alternate between sets of two and three.) Click and drag on the first note. If you drag it straight down, the notes will be pitched down without changing the rhythms or relationships between the notes. Basically, you want to drag until that first note gets to the same place in the piano keyboard pattern as it originally was, just one repetition down. That's one octave lower - same exact notes, just lower pitched.

Of course, this'll just move all the notes down. If you want to duplicate them, you should ctrl-click and drag instead of just clicking and dragging. Also, the range of EWQL's bass clarinet instrument might not go low enough, so you might be out of luck....

Awesome, thanks.

Sometime soon I need to organize and reformat my home computer to make room for more sample libraries! EWQLSO is good at covering most of the basics though. Took me a while to figure out I was supposed to use 9 Double Basses for my bass line; The sheet music I am mocking up labeled that as "contrabass" so I was using contra bassoon by mistake!

If I have multiple instruments on one line - say for example my percussion line has triangle for a while, then marimba for a while, then cymbal later - how do I split it into multiple lines so that I can use different sample libraries for each line?

Or, is there a way to leave it one line, but have different sample libraries play different parts of the track?

Hmmm, it does get tricky with percussion. Generally speaking, you do need to have a different track for each different virtual instrument, so you're not going to be able to have cymbals and marimba and triangle all on the same track, for instance.

What I would probably do is set up a track for each different virtual instrument and import the MIDI (or whatever) onto one of those tracks. Then ctrl-click and drag the MIDI object to the next track to duplicate it there, and keep doing that till you have a copy for each of the relevant tracks. Then go in and cut up the object for each track (hotkey C, IIRC?) so you can delete the parts that don't belong on each track. You also might have to open the MIDI editor to move some pitches around for stuff like cymbals, so that you actually hear the instrument. And if there are parts of the music where multiple different instruments are playing at the same time, you'll have to go in and delete the individual notes in the MIDI editor, too.

Is there any reason to tweak notes and stuff in Finale, or should I just do everything in Reaper?

You can choose one of 16 MIDI channels for each note. Just select one or multiple notes (you can drag a selection frame with the right mouse button), right-click one of them and select "Note channel" at the bottom to set the MIDI channel for the selected notes. Now in EWQLSO's interface you can also set a MIDI-channel for each loaded instrument, and now those notes only play the instruments assigned to that channel. Instruments set to "omni" will be played by all notes, independent of the note channel they're set to.

Hey, Jack, it's a shame you never finished your Get 'em, R-2! cue: from what you shown so far, you were pretty much dead-on with the actual music (which we can at least compare it to since a TOR video uses that segment almost in its entirety, sadly riddled with SFX)

Hopefully that bit will be cleanly available from the game rip. If not, hopefully Jack will finish his mockup (and correct the percussion ;)). If not, hopefully I'll do one that's complete and maybe half as good as Jack's. :P

Maybe he was very busy.

Are there still plans to do other mockups for AOTC, such as the alternate section in "Padme Falls" or the different variations of "End Credits"? I would love to hear them if time permits their creation. Thanks for the ones that have been done already!

EWQLSO has a good piano, but it's not free so...

I might have a soundfont buried somewhere with a decent piano.

Hmmm, I have EWQLSO Gold and there is no piano...

Cool, I'll check that one out!

Short answer: yes. :) I'm not allowed to share the materials themselves with anyone, but I can share mockups, and I intend to complete high-quality mockups of all the unavailable AOTC music as soon as I can. It's a little impossible because of my living arrangements right now, but that'll be changing before too long. I would definitely keep an eye on the mockups thread, or I might just start a whole new thread with all of them when the time comes.

That would be great Datameister, looking forward to a nice list with all the old and new mockups you will have completed by then. Thanks for your efforts on that front :)

Thanks for the update. I will be watching out for them, but there is no hurry of course.

Cool. Can't wait to see your beefed-up Get 'em, R-2 cue (which will probably come available shortly after the mockup is posted :P)

Well, it has very nearly been two months since anybody has contributed to this thread. Any progress made on some of the mockups?

This was something I included at the end of my 8M2 Koeniggraetzer March cue on my Last Crusade edit. It's a pretty simple mockup of the timpani drum insert that plays when Indy bumps into Hitler. Beats using film rip because the crowd covers quite a bit of it, making it pretty much unusable unless you like crowd noise over your music. I don't have sheets so I based this on what I heard in the film.

Bear in mind that you will have to mix it one bit at a time over the cue as I didn't have precise timings in mind between each section.

I've been without access to my software and hardware for mockup creation since June, but I just finally got set up again a few days ago - yet I'm finding I lack the desire to work on any mockups at the moment. :( I'm working on a big non-musical project that's consuming all of my hobby time. I still have lots of mockups to do (and redo) once I get my motivation back, though.

I feel your pain, Datameister. Sometimes life projects will try to use up all the fun/hobby time :/

I'm itching to try out some new sample libraries I've got. Any requests for something fairly substantial (perhaps an entire missing cue, for example)?

Superman has a bunch of alternate/unused cues that were not recorded that are listed in the sheet music.

Feel free to make a list

----

My personal requests:

shorter cues to get you warmed up:

Hook: 15m2 The End Of Hook [bars 27-40] (the rest is available via the rear channels of the DVD, but those bars are replaced by an Insert then dialed out)

Indiana Jones and the Temple Of Doom: 11m1 Insert

The Lost World: 14M2 The Saving Dart [ending only] (the rest of the cue is already on the OST)

Harry Potter 1: 2m4 Insert Diagon Alley Reveal

long cues:

Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom: 9m2 Willy In The Fryer

The Lost World: 6M2-7M1 Pt II Up in a Basket

Harry Potter 1: Quidditch and the Great Gryffindor Victory

I might have a go at 4M14 Dueling the Dementor from PoA

"Quidditch and the Great Gryffindor Victory" There's no slate number. Where do I find this one? :P
