What Do I Do?
Creating realism within a completely unreal environment can sometimes be a challenge, and it is difficult to bring the human feel to sound when nothing is actually played, but instead the sounds are organized and tuned to sound that way. I attempt to circumvent this problem and forge well put together, and realistic creations.
How Do I Do It?
I am limited by only free Soundfonts and effects. I use FL Studio and 
Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra to create almost every note you hear, with a few extra tweaks from the FL libraries themselves. Soundfonts, which are actual recordings, include most of the instruments I use. I also use VST's and VSTi's to supplement them and cause effects. These effects will make the instruments sound as if they are in a studio or on a stage, not just inside a computer. In addition, a wide variety of other free sounds are used, some of which have sound qualities that would rival most other paid plugins.  Songs are created and rendered using an audio engine designed to simulate the effect of being at the seat of a piano or in the orchestra pit. When all is done, the instruments are mixed and mastered, then rendered as a WAV file for best quality.
Why Do I Do It?
Not because I plan on making it big. Sound Cloud is simply the best place to put my projects for friends and family to hear. Having the ability to "play" instruments I cannot is interesting. You may find it ironic that I actually cannot play guitar, piano, or any string instrument. The only music experience I have is the sum of many years in my school band.  I encourage any feedback you can give. In addition, if any of you are in the same situation and hear a sound you would like to use, ask me. Everything I use to create can be found without breaking the piggy bank. Enjoy and thanks for listening!
