Dixon Hill 4,229 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Pretty self-explanatory. Need to continue honing my mock-up skills, and think a full scale cue is in order. What does JWFan think would be fun? Choices include cues (with some exceptions) from:Revenge of the SithPrisoner of AzkabanAIMinority ReportThe Desolation of SmaugFrom ROTK, the beacon lightingSignsPlanet of the ApesAlienStar Trek: TMPLost, episode "Orientation" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkissimo 1,971 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of handwritten scores; scores I have acquired over several years on Pianofiles. Scores that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you mock up PLANET OF THE APES, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you.

Dixon Hill 4,229 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I would like to do The Search Continues/The Hunt, provided I can figure out how to substitute for the more odd instruments that I don't have samples for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkissimo 1,971 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 If you have a soft synth, you could use a white noise blast for the 2 horns blowing air with their mouthpieces reversed. As a matter of fan, in ST:TMP for 'The Cloud' Jerry had 4 horns reverse mouth pieces and blow air, doubled by filtered white noise from the Serge modular synth.

Dixon Hill 4,229 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 Yep I have more than enough synths to do that, but a lot of the sketches of that sequence are incomplete.I think I'm going to end up doing:Floating Office and Spock's Arrival from ST:TMPMain Titles from Signs (those solo fiddles will be a challenge though)The beacons from ROTKROTS end credits, up to but not including the throne room reprise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixon Hill 4,229 Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 I did some pretty decent transcriptions of Star Trek V by ear, and that was years ago. But that was to beef up my aural skills; I'd rather just work from a score at this point, as the time required to transcribe isn't really worth it anymore.

Dixon Hill 4,229 Posted April 4, 2014 Author Share Posted April 4, 2014 Had a bit of time today so I threw together the first few bars of The Hunt from POTA.

Sharkissimo 1,971 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 Rialto Ripples from THE LOST WORLD is in dire needs of a mock-up. The beginning's covered in the Death of Ludlow, but everything from about 20 seconds onwards needs working on. One of the best cues in the score, IYAM.

Uni 306 Posted April 9, 2014 Share Posted April 9, 2014 A couple of questions on this . . . I've done some fooling around with my own mock-ups, mostly just direct note-for-note transcription in order to break down the different parts for a better understanding of how they relate to one another. Is that what you do? Do you experiment at all? Try new orchestrations? Add your own flourishes? Or do you just want to see how it sounds when it comes out of Finale instead of the LSO?- Uni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
