John Barry | Thunderball (James Bond) | Remake

A complete remake of John Barry's theme to Thunderball using virtual instruments with some pointers of what's happening in the music.

Sounds used:
Strings - Spitfire Audio Chamber Strings & Albion
Woodwind - Spitfire Audio Symphonic Woodwinds
Brass - Sample modelling The Trumpet, Cinebrass Core & Pro
Percussion - Spitfire Audio Joby Burgess Percussion, Symphonic Sphere Harp
Piano - Yamaha U3 mic'd with two condensors

Sequencer - Cubase
Processing - Waves Abbey Road Vinyl, EQ and compressors on each instrument group with various settings (all subtle). Then Goodhertz Vulf Compressor on the mix bus running as a parallel compressor. Again, set softly.

The gradual build up of saturation gives it a vintagey sound, but without it being obvious. It also smudges the instruments together nicely and helps the overall mix.

Reverbs - used a Past to Future EMT impulse (https://gumroad.com/pasttofuturesamples#) and sent the high strings and winds to it a reasonable amount. Kept the low strings and shorts away from it because it's too boomy. Put a high pass on the reverb channel itself so that it was an airy sound.

Also setup a stock hall impulse and and fed things into that to varying degrees.

The sample modelling trumpets had an additional reverb on them as the samples are bone dry so require that to start with and then you can build from there.
