A Synthesizer or Keyboard? |
The whole soundset is far inferior to what I normally use because I made it on my Mac -- I do all my serious music making on the PC (like the Face of Boe music). I'm sorry it didn't come out better but it would be a very long and drawn out process to redo it on my PC and I don't feel the need.
Actually, I think the voices came out fairly close to the original in overall feel (maybe not "oooh" versus "aaah" but the sound of the voice as a whole). You're not being overly critical, I'm not very pleased with the final result either.
Anyway, I used GarageBand with the Symphony Orchestra addon pack on the Mac to make this particular piece. Normally I use FL Studio on the PC along with EastWest Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Silver Edition for all my orchestral stuff. My preferred software synthesizers are the Arturia CS-80V, the Arturia Minimoog V, the Native Instruments Pro-53, and a few others here and there that usually have specific uses for specific projects. The CS-80V is definitely capable of the widest range of sounds (once you learn how to master its extremely complicated layout of controls) and I use that as my sort of "all-purpose" synthesizer. Hope that helps.
