Description

Project File

BEYOND THE STORM

A cinematic orchestral piece with a generous dose of epic! This project puts the whole ensemble through its paces with a traditional approach to writing that explores a wide range of dynamics, colors, and orchestration techniques.

Explore the project file to study how these virtual instruments were programmed, performed, produced, mixed, and finalized as a polished production. Optionally, use it as a template for your own productions, with the mix and plugin settings in tact.

Note: This video shows the PLAY version of the project, before the OPUS update

The Project File

All of the MIDI and CC data used to sculpt the final performance

Printed audio STEMS for each section of the orchestra, so you can still hear the project even without owning the sample libraries used.

Expression Maps for convenient articulation management and custom keyswitches

Track layout, signal flow, and routing optimized for flexibility and easy STEM printing

Notated Score

Included is the full orchestral score in PDF format, PLUS separated parts for each orchestral section for easier reading.

Read along with the project and solo individual instruments for detailed study of how written score can translate into a virtual performance.

Parts include: Woodwinds, Brass, Strings, Percussion, Harp and Choir. (includes “easy clef” versions )

Plugins & Production

See how the final mix was shaped using only stock plugins, and Spaces II (included in East West’s Composer Cloud) – no need for paid plugins!

Bypass plugins to hear the before and after to fully understand the importance of production.

See how reverb was used and tweaked to enhance the depth and dimension of the orchestra.

Use the settings as presets for your own productions.

F.A.Q

Does this work with OPUS?

Yes! The long-awaited OPUS update has finally arrived!

I don't have the sample libraries listed. Can I still use the project file?

Yes. You can load the “Disabled” project and work with the audio stems that cover all of the used sample libraries, or you can replace the sample libraries used with your own. Note that it will not sound the same as the full mix provided.

I don't use Cubase. Can I still use this project?

Unfortunately, the files included will only work with Cubase. This project is made very specifically for Cubase’s features and the plugins that come with it.

My reverb plugin didn't load properly... are the settings or presets available somewhere?

EW Spaces II is known to give a license error on occasion, which means it won’t load the impulse response or work unless you re-load a preset. If you experience this with Beyond The Storm, you can find the reverb settings at the end of the included manual

  1. Question

    Viktor

    I´m very interested in this template, liked very much the sound. All my libraries are diamond, will it work correctly? I don´t have Hollywood Choir but have EWQL Choir – will it work? Can I change one library to another? What I´d have to do to change the library? Thanks!

      Hi Viktor,
      Yes this project file will work with Diamond versions of the sample libraries. If you do not own Hollywood Choirs, you can use the Choir audio file instead that is included in the project to hear how it is meant to sound.
      You may swap the samples on an instrument track to be from a different library (such as EWQL Symphonic Choirs) but it will not sound the same as the original, and the expression maps will no longer work correctly, so you will need to configure these yourself. I hope this helps!
