S221228ER ORCHESTRAL TRAILER-Style INSTRUMENTALS

[superblonde]

Surprised to hear non-Orchestral instruments/samples in several of the forwards for this listing which is stated to be Orchestral, specifically big risers and drops and fx (hyper-expressive reverbs). ... "Nothing obviously MIDI-driven will work" ... Usually it seems the listing would state "HYBRID-ORCHESTRAL" to allow these elements.

Please be sure the productions and any virtual Orchestral instruments you use are high-quality and state-of-the-art, nothing stiff or obviously MIDI-driven will work.

I've noticed some similar things. There was an emotional piano listing a month or so ago where it specifically stated that no other instruments were to be included, I believe they actually used all caps when stating PIANO ONLY. Then I visited the forwards blog and saw that several tracks were forwarded that had strings in them, while my track was rejected because the screener felt it was too quantized (it was not quantized at all). Some of these failures of screeners to pay attention to listing detail are truly frustrating, when members are repeatedly scolded for not reading the listing properly. It has happened more than once. #frustrated

It says Trailer Style ...risers , drops etc are pretty much a staple of that genre.

Caveat: Not at all my genre. But the listing doesn't say not to use any virtual instruments, just that they have to be state of the art, etc. So I'm not sure why it's surprising to hear VIs in the forwards. Now if the quality if the VIs you hear in the forwards isn't up to the bar, that would be a concern. I don't know enough about this area to listen and comment. I'm just responding to the post.
