Released when
2024
I'm sharing this cover of the Star Wars theme that I made back in 2024.

My workflow when I made this mockup was:

-Download the MIDI file

-Separate the short and long notes

-Load patches for each type of note

-Add an extra layer of patches, but bounce them to audio so as not to overload the CPU. (I did that in Aaron Venture's Infinite Woodwinds, which don't use much RAM but do use a lot of CPU, causing live performance to freeze.)

Where I took advantage here was in Studio One's ease of bouncing or dragging a MIDI track to an audio track, which allows me to avoid saturating the RAM, especially in a cover with so many instruments.

However, there are things that could have been improved in my workflow, such as the use of Sound Variations and the use of the piano roll with multiple tracks where I could have separated some notes and sent them to another track.

At that time, I loaded Kontakt instances for around 3-4 instruments, when I could have done much more, and assigning multiple outputs.

I put reverb effects on each track, increasing CPU usage. Now I could have sent to multiple FX channels.
