My interpretation of, well Ill let you guess which one it is...

[Transient]

im impressed. ermmm, hvor kommer du fra?jeg tror du er norsk


this sounds really good....bizarre. what led up to this being made? what programs/keyboard or something?

[Nordvang]

Er norsk ja


No particular reason for making this one.. Just wanted to make some orchestral stuff..

[Transient]

vel jeg kan godt liger det, det lyder godt. hva bruger det?


just playing with norwegian, for the english speakers-
well i like it,sounds good. what do you use?

[guitar_demon]

yea man damn good! do you have any more stuff

[autumncurve]

This is awesome.
yeah, have you done anything else like this?

[brainsforbreakfast]

awesome!

what did you use?

[Nordvang]

This is my first try at this kinda thing.. I have done some orchestral stuff before, but never tried to cover another non-orchestral song before..
Granted that Emperor songs are usually pretty orchestral, its still a challenge

[Transient]

you're being coy about what you used :P

[ImBored]

Damn dude! what soundfonts did you use? Couldnt hook a brother up, could you? I do the same sort of stuff with my band but Im always looking to improve it, and that stuff sounds awesome.

[tormentor]

Hey people emperor one of the most powerful bands are coming to the u.s. for the firts time :vampire: :vampire:

[Nordvang]

I used East West Quantum Leap Symphonic Orchestra Silver..
Not the very best of samples, but its affordable..

[ImBored]

Thanks, Ill hunt it down and see if I can afford it; it didnt sound like a compromise at all, it totally works and sounded professional :cool:
Edit: damn, lol, thats outta my price range. Nevermind.

How long did all this take anyway? I find it interesting.

Hey people emperor one of the most powerful bands are coming to the u.s. for the firts time :vampire: :vampire:

[Nordvang]

they were in the states 1999


Indeed they were.. Ive got a show in Texas and one in Pittsburg on video..
One of the few black metal bands that truely deserves respect..

[Weiya]

impressive stuff...I guess I'll check out some emperor now

[rabbifoodslicer]

your name always reminds me of mrweija :p

[rabbifoodslicer]

for those of you who are torrent inclined:

[guitar_demon]

do you have to dl all of the 'dvdr-#' for it to work?

[rabbifoodslicer]

no they all just have the same name so they tagged on a .01 or .02 and what not (the files are the same i believe. if you click on them it should drop down a little window thing and you can compare them that way)

[timedragon]

ah, well done, nordvang. i thoroughly enjoyed that. have any original pieces?

[guitar_demon]

well lets see what happens with that torrent

[rabbifoodslicer]

im downloading it now but i wont have for a fucken week cause my connection is shit and its about 3 gigs...but il let you know if its any good...unless of course youve already started downloading it...

[guitar_demon]

yea let me know if it works or not

[rabbifoodslicer]

will do, it'll probably take me till next week to find out though :mad:

[blizzard_beast]

Nice work Nordvang. How easy is that program to use?

[AaronDonahue]

Wow, that sounds amazing!

I wonder how that program works... by the way those DVDs are all different. It's the Gold version that seems to be like 4 DVDs and the silver is only 1.

[AaronDonahue]

What program did you use with this? Do you have a MIDI keyboard or something?

[guitar_demon]

read the thread, he tells you what program

[AaronDonahue]

Yeah, but that's just a plug-in. What other program did he use to record it with is what I'd like to know

[rabbifoodslicer]

reeeaaaaaaadddddd ttttttthhhhhhhhheeeeeeeeee pppppppooooooooosssssstttttttsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddcockddddddddddeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ImBored]

^ have you finished DLing yet? Its not that simple.

The tool that the samples comes with is only to sculpt and modify the samples and save instruments to .nkm and .nki files.
Ive tried importing these in to cubase via the kontakt VST instrument plug in, and numerous others, and they just wont... I just want to use them as sound fonts, really, but its harder than I thought.

[AaronDonahue]

Yeah, sheesh.

This just isn't working for me, I gotta get a good soundcard. Mine is a shitty onboard one.

ImBored, maybe try downloading Kontakt 2.0 and loading the samples through there. I think the modified Kontakt they give with it might not be that compatible.

[Nordvang]

I used Sonar 5 as a sequencer and I have a Roland midi keyboard. The Kompakt app that comes with Silver is a VST & DXi sampler.
Just load it into any sequencer that supports VST or DXi, load some instruments in Kompakt and there you go. You need lots of RAM though. I have 1Gb and that is barely enough.

I am working on a full album with my project/band called Quadrivium.

[ImBored]

That sounds ace. Thanks for all the help.

Be sure to link us to your band though when youve got some stuff done!

[rabbifoodslicer]

no i havent finished dl yet, my router went wack for a couple days and its been slow since..

[Nordvang]

That sounds ace. Thanks for all the help.

Be sure to link us to your band though when youve got some stuff done!



It will be on http://www.quadrivium.nu/

Nordvang, check your PMs. i sent you one with some questions regarding your recording. unless of coarse, you ignored it intentionally... its just a few questions though.

I salute you Nordvang. This is really impressive effort. No less good than those did by Ihsahn, though very noticible a bit icy large room reverb in production. Awesome \m/
