dimmus virtual orchestra on "In Sorte Diaboli"

[xconnyx]

hi, anyone of you knows which programm they used to make those orchestra parts on "In Sorte Diaboli".



theres this video where he says that he programmed all the stuff, so it has to be some vitrual instrumen/smapler/synthy thing.


thx

I think these are custom samples you will never get your hands on !

I know that Peter Tagtgren
has his own custom samples at the abyss studio known as the abyss choir and id reckon
dimmu have the same kinda thing going on as do most bands.

BUT !

(haha and im on the same path as you here)

there are sampled based vst programmes that have sounds similar like

spectrasonic symphony of voices (real nice choirs)
refx - nexus (this is just new to the amrket and has some lush strings in here and other bits and bobs)

Sounds fantastic.

Gigastudio 3 or Kontakt 2-3 can also achieve the same results IMO.

There's no such things as orchestral custom samples...
Dimmu used the Vienna Symphonic Library.

Hans Zimmer has custom samples from the London Symphony.

Really? Where did you see that?

Computer music or sound on sound did a huge article on it

Yeah, but Hans Zimmer is Hans fucking Zimmer... he probably makes more money out of one film than Dimmu has made in their entire career.

 

[Remy_5150]

but Dimmu has done at least one album with a full orchestra....so I'm sure they were able to get at least a few "custom" samples from those sessions...

I doubt it - it was probably scored by Mustis, given to London Philharmonic Orchestra, recorded, and given back to Mustis.

I read it in some article.

He actually got the samples for free under the agreement the Mr. Zimmer uses the London Symphony for all his film scores.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Seems totally unrealistic to me... orchestras are not drums that you can sample easily. And I agree about Zimmer being Zimmer, and I'm guessing he uses those "custom made samples" for writing purposes only.

 

[Ben Johnson]

Sampling an orchestra takes thousands upon thousands of hours. Even if Zimmer himself told me he had a custom sample lib, I wouldn't believe it.

PEM

 

[Ericlingus]

didn't they do deathcult armagedden with a real orchestra?

 

[Metaltastic]

I'm certain that Death Cult was with the Prague Philharmonic, though only for a couple of songs ("Progenies..." and "Eradication Instincts Defined," maybe a few more)

 

[Ben Johnson]

Ben Johnson
Hm...I heard,that PEM was programmed also...
I was wrong?
Where your info about this from?

The Gothenburg Opera Orchestra are credited in the liner notes.

 

[Brett - K A L I S I A]

Death Cult Armageddon was Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and Puritanical Euphoric Misanthropia was a string orchestra (Gothenburg Opera Orchestra),

 

[Genius Gone Insane]

Film score fans are divided on Hans Zimmer, similar to "trigger vs. natural drums" and "Blue State vs. Red State". Some say he is shite and others say he is great. DSS3, you are right -- he makes a shitload of money so he must be doing something right. Even though I hate sampled orchestra, I take the latter. "Crimson Tide" theme -- cheesey as it is -- gives me chills every time!

Either way, they agree he has a fantastic collection of samples that are his own.

 

[JeffTD]

I could've sworn that Death Cult was with London Philharmonic Orchestra??
