Hey KVR lads and lasses,
I've been lovin' on Zebra again

So I've been trying to make a convincing synthetic orchestra. This piece was inspired by the game "Amnesia: The Dark Descent" ...I've been trying to play it, but I'm too scared at the moment to go any further

Anyways, this track is entirely Zebra(and Zebrify), except for a couple ValhallaRooms and the mastering plugin, which was iZotope Ozone 4.(I'm terrible at mastering anyways, but I tried) Also used parametric EQs within FL studio, which is my host.

A nice evil intro, followed by great sounds throughout. The "orchestration" is very good and the synth sounds are extremely convincing.

Good work

A synthesizer? One? Not multiple different Synths? No crazy effects?

mind........blown.........SHHHBLEEEEEERG[that's an exploding noise]
Sounds more impressive than my sample-library orchestra.

Done a great job, orchestration is really well done, sounds are solid

Eewww!

Sorry about your poor head!
Yep, it's all Zebra. I've got tons of softsynths(I used to give into GAS on the slightest whim/whiff) But Zebra really is, for me personally, my dream come true in softsynth form. She just gets things done. I'm always coming back for more because there's always something I haven't tried yet.
I purchased Garritan's personal Orchestra a few years back, then, after being unsatisfied with it(although it really is fun and I like it's French horns) I bought Eastwest's Platinum at a half price deal. It's a decent step up, but I agree with something Hans Zimmer said in one of his interviews, which went something like "samples are useful, and they can sound great, but they were made at a previous point in time, when the piece I'm working on wasn't even conceived yet, so how are they going to fit the occasion?"
