been learning to use Reason soft synth, i really like it, you can create, a mass of really epic sounds with it!
heres a little clip from last of the mohicans,
http://soundcloud.com/spacemonkeyj/mohicans
sounds or instruments used are:
full orchestra(bass notes are percusion and brass, high notes are strings) resonant violin x 2 orchestral percussionplayed it off the cuff with one take for each instrument so excuse the flaws
heres a straight up grand piano sound too, i really like the sound it produces, ill give you all an update once i make something a bit more complete
track im playing is clubbed to death (just the piano break)
