The Gallop // ALBION ONE demo

In Januar 2018 I finally build my little home studio, starting to work with Cubase, sample libraries and plugins, diving into a for me pretty new, interesting world. Uptill then I worked with Finale Notation and FL Studio. One of the very first pieces I composed in this new setting then was The Gallop, using Spitfire Audio Albion One primarily: Strings long & short, Brass long & short, Darwin Percussion Ensemble (high-mid-low). Backing it all up gently with a few synth pad gems out of the Kontakt Factory Library, along with a bass and melodic patch from my Dave Smith Prophet REV2 analogue synth. The Albion One ‘ostinatum’ function is still a great feature I think. In this piece I'm using it on the short strings, driving all the way through the track. And those Brass shorts, man they sound so lively! Now, a big 5 years later, having developed on different fronts, I revisited The Gallop; creating better audio renders, creating a new mix and a new master (the comparison is to be seen and heard at the end of the video, as well as my new master bus plugin usage and settings). For me Albion One still has this strong cinematic, more epic sort of feel. Really different from from the more pure orchestral BBCSO instrument recordings I’m using as my bread&butter orchestra to go to. During my revisit I changed some of the mic settings, creating more depth and space. You can see the mic settings in the video. Did some serious balancing and EQ'ing to get rid of the muddy sound. On the percussion sub group I worked a lot to give it more depth, clarity and drive, using the classic Waves C6 multiband compressor, FabFilter Pro-C compressor and characteristic Waves Puigtec EQ, and the Waves L3 Multimaximizer. Finally going step by step on every track and sub group, making them sound as good, detailed and beautiful as I can. Such fun to do! My reverb chain on the ALBION ONE sub groups (auxes) on the revisited Gallop version: 1. LiquidSonics - Seventh Heaven - Scoring stage 2.20sec, -12db to -17db Send signal 2. FabFilter Pro-R Vanilla Hall - 2.80sec, -13db to -18db Send signal My Master bus chain on the revisited Gallop version: 1. FabFilter Pro EQ2 – doing some general boosts and cuts 2. Fabfilter Pro EQ2 – doing only mid and side EQ’ing 3. Plugin Alliance Brainworx bx Digital V3 – doing some precision EQ’ing and 5% widening 4. Ozone Imager – Using it for just 5% widening 5. Solid State Logic Fusion Stereo Image – for 2.2db widening (above 400hz) 6. FabFilter Pro-C – Compressing just about -3db 7. Solid State Logic G Master buss compressor – A touch of compression and make-up gain 8. FabFilter Pro-L2 - Limiting -11 LUFS, and boosting master track with 5.5db Be well, Jeff Hijlkema
