Challenge description: 

This week's challenge is: Drum and Bass 

High tempo. High energy. 
Explore the many sub-genres of DnB, find something that strikes your fancy, and create your own. 
So long as the tempo is bumpin, the drums are bangin, and the bass is pumpin, I'll take it! 

Your track must follow this simple structure:
Intro -> Buildup -> Drop

- Any key
- Tempo between 140 and 190
- Any instruments or effects you'd like
- Must follow the song structure above

An orchestrated version of the Final Zone from the original Sonic the Hedgehog. I haven't released a sonic remix in a while and wanted to try one this morning. I tried to experiment a little so it's not amazingly close to the original. I also composed it from ear so there may be duff notes here and there.

Used:
FL Studio 10, Kontakt 4, Spitfire Albion, Harp, Percussion & Symphonic Strings, Cinesamples CineBrass, HollyWoodwinds, CineSnare & VOXOs, Tonehammer Requiem & Emotional Piano, Audiobro LA Scoring Strings, Orchestral String Runs, Dummyworld Shhh, Project SAM Symphobia II

Sonic The Hedgehog - Final Zone Orchestra

An update to my previous WIP. A couple of updates to dynamics and overall mix, fixed some release sample issues by pulling the quieter transition parts into separate tracks.

In addition to the 8dio Lacrimosa choirs, I chose to use Spitfire Audio's Eric Whitacre Choir primarily for the start and ending choral parts. Lacrimosa is still blended with these, however, and stands out a bit more in the final crescendo.

I adjusted some legato transitions to portamento in a few places and replaced the BBCSO solo cello with the Spitfire Audio Solo Cello (Total Performance from Spitfire Solo Strings). This has a much more up close sound, which I have also brought out. There's one part I'm not completely happy with, but it will be fixed in the final WIP.

Also fixed the measures after the final crescendo that had managed to somehow stay at 75bpm instead of the updated tempo of 80bpm, while also increasing the tempo progressively during the buildups.

Replaced the BBCSO tenor and bass trombone sections with 8dio's Eighth Wonder Orchestra brass, using the lower end of the patch, and adding 8dio's Epic Taiko Ensemble to the final buildup.

Still need to adjust the mixing a bit, but I think it's in a generally good state.
