Thank you guys for listening and leaving comments,
Now I tried to do something more contemporary. Edited a lot a factory style, tuned some filters and harmonics... Now I see that some frequencies conflict with each other...
I'll share this one anyway, maybe you'll find it interesting. I used portamento for FrenchHorns :-)
I guess that what we really need from TOTL arranges is audio-via-usb with 16 separate channels, but it does sound tricky, doesn't it?
As we can learn from modern movies/TV-shows, today's soundtracks are rather discreet, they help to stay involved, but do not steal your attention from events.
Obviously, arranger keyboards are primarily designed to perform songs, and keyboards like Montage are supposed to be a better fit.
In the same time even when it somes to soundtrack type of music, I still find it more suitable for me to play along with a style if I want to make up some music, it just keeps you inspired.
Kabinopus ... Admittedly, knowing you are from Russia influenced my thinking, but listening to your first work, I couldn't help but imagine Lara and Dr. Zhivago, each alone, in various scenes - walking through Moscow, standing by their windows looking at the falling snow, laying in bed alone, each wondering what the other was doing at that moment ... Thank you for musically taking me on that journey ...
Your imagination is rather rich :-) No pictures of these characters in my mind, but maybe I should get more familiar with the story :-)
The internet tought me that it's hard to get people to listen to your music other than with YouTube videos - and just like in a restaurant, on YouTube there're songs that are likely to become popular no matter how many there are versions of it already, and some stuff is likely to stay unpopular, even if it's nicely done. One musician I know is a rather wealthy person and a good musician, but his videos, even if he pays for them big $$$, aren't really popular. Some my home-made covers have more views. In the same time I'm yet to get a thousand subscribers, with is a very small number for YouTube, but I know that I'm not really fighting for them.
Now I have sort of a system which allows me to make videos rather quickly, so if I'm about to make a recording for myself I may as well make it as a video.
Today I happened to make one more recording in an orchestra style, without drums. It was not supposed to be about Christmas, but with these twinkle sounds it's hard not to name it as if it was :-)
Kabinopus another masterpiece you are truly a maestro
Can you please share with us your setup, camera, etc, for recording video?. Also Up till now so many have told me what is their best, easiest, model video cam, etc,... but which is really the best to use for simple quality convenient, home Video production, upload to you tube, etc, of performance video AND sound quality today and Why.?

Hello Donny;
My setup is mostly based on what I happen to have but not on what I want to have :-) For this reason I still can't make HD videos.
But basics are:
Video is recorded with digital cameras. Cason IXUS 860 and Panasonic DMC-FZ50. Canon gives a much better picture.
The sound is recorded separately on a computer with Magix Samplitude. I also apply "normalisation" to it with Sound Forge software.
Then I have 3 files to work with in Adobe Premiere (I use an old one - Pro 2.0 as my computer is rather modest as well). I have to synchronise all files looking at their audio waves.
Then I export a video file, and then I have to compress the file again using one more program, as it is usually too large after Premiere.
I believe that with modern equipment and software it can be rather different. All I can say that it took me some time to get adjusted to Premiere. I used MovieMaker for a long time but if you want to use multiple cameras it won't be very useful.
