Jeff Hijlkema | 11/16th • Going Epic with my Favorite Insert Plugins @jeffhijlkema | Uploaded May 2024 | Updated October 2024, 4 hours ago.
In this 11/16th timesignature epic kinda short piece I’m using my today’s favorite insert plugins to really spice things up. I’m running my orchestral instrument busses through several characteristic plugins that all do a little pushing and/or pulling. When mastering I did some final touches.
Using Albion One and Albion Iceni here reminded me again of the amazing lively sound of the Air Lyndhurst Studio sound, specially when using a blend of all available mics (Close-Tree-Ambient-Outrigger). On top of it I used just a tiny touch of Cinematic Rooms reverb to blend all the sections with the softsynths, like these synths are playing on stage also.
Vst instruments:
1. Short Strings; Albion One – ‘spiccato’ doubled with ‘spiccato/staccato’.
2. Short Brass: Albion One ‘short mids’ & Albion Iceni ‘short low’.
3. Long Brass: Albion One ‘long high’& ‘long low’. Albion Iceni ‘long low’
4. Percussion; Albion One - Darwin percussion Ensemble.
5. Kontakt Factory synths (3x): ‘The Wagons Roll at Night’ – ‘Hard’n Dirty’ – ‘Adrenaline’.
For orchestral bus insert plugins also see the video.
- Fabfilter EQ2
- Pultec eqp-1a
- Manley Massive Passive EQ
- Renaissance Axx compressor
- Avalon 737 & 747 EQ-compressor
- Fabfilter C2 compressor
- SSL Fusion Stereo image plugin
Orchestral bus send reverb chain:
1. Cinematic Rooms Pro – Score Stage (about 20%).
2. Cinematic Rooms Pro – Reflective Hall (about 20%).
For mastering chain plugins see near end of the video.
Be well,
Jeff
