I Agree! Very soon you will know all Sonar features and plugins, my advice is that after nowing all of it, start making lots of mix's! practice makes perfectionright?! Well, all soft synths work the same way! It's obvious that you already get the thing! So, now it's just a matter of improving your sound with better and quality soft synths! Imagine instead of the Cake walk tts that you used for the orchestra drums sounds, played by any other much better sampled library, per example the Garritan Personal orchestra! the result get much much better right? Regarding mastering, it's a advanced stuff, though, well, start trusting your ears, i mean, someone wroted , if sounds good, it because it's good! regards, Rui Vilarinho ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Bryndahl To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 11:54 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Re: Music for a theatre play Thank you very much Rui! Yes I've been using That library that comes with Dimension pro. Some of the sounds are also from Cakewalk TTS. I really would like to purchase Garritan and use the hotspot sets that >I read about on this list, but I think at this time it's better to learn as much as possible with all the things that come with Sonar. Thank's again!

Did you used the Gary Garritan Personal orchestra library? regards, Rui Vilarinho ----- Original Message ----- From: Erik Bryndahl To: ddots-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, April 26, 2012 8:57 PM Subject: [ddots-l] Music for a theatre play Hello list! I wrote an Ouverture to a schoolplay with space theme. It was a real challange since I'm not so used to working with softsynths and composing songs is something I don't usually do. Mastering is another area that I need to improve and of course mixing is something I constantly work on and try to get better at. So if you would like to listen and give me some feedback to this Ouverture I would appreciate it! Regards, Erik Bryndahl http://dl.dropbox.com/u/12453415/Dimensioner.mp3
