JBlann posted this on the Caustic forum and he allowed me to repost it here:I wanted to see if I could pull it off.... using the Sonatina Orchestral sample pack that has been making rounds in this community lately.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is my first attempt trial run, but I am scrapping this and starting over, because I ran into some huge problems and challenges with this track.
I am starting over from scratch and diving deeper into this, and will employ some new theories I mapped out on paper earlier today.....
To make a long story short, the samples in this orchestral pack are very unbalanced and sonically disturbing in many subtle ways. But not a slam against the owner of that project, for this recording project he did to create these samples was a challenge in itself, so I have no complaints about it. I will fix and adjust the sounds to my specs and create my own instruments for my new theories..... but this sample pack is AWESOME regardless.
Now using acoustic single-shot single-velocity samples in an electronic environment presents HUGE challenges for music creation, BUT I have some tricks up my sleeve that I will implement on my next track I am putting together over the next few weeks (free time is scarce right now)
Inspiration and Credit to Don Davis (my favorite film score composer and musical math genius to say the least) and the Matrix (1999) soundtrack for the foundation and challenge to attempt to recreate this in Caustic.
Can I pull it off even better with my next track? We shall see....

If you missed my post on Orchestral music making on Android here is a link to the Sonatina Sample pack that he mentions above... They are in .sfz format and it seems that it will be included support for this format in the next update of Caustic but for now you can search a little bit for the converted .sf2 format torrents that can be loaded in Caustic.
Because to do this kind of work I do think that it would be hard to do in any other application than Caustic or SunVox but SunVox do not support either .sfz or .sf2 leaving only Caustic...
