That's not to say that you can simply philosophize your way to better sounding mockups. It's All In Your Mindīelieve it or not, bridging the gap between fake-sounding and realistic might start by abandoning certain misconceptions you may hold about what samples can actually do for you'"as opposed to what they could, should, would, or ought to do. Oh, and neither is having the most current or expensive libraries. That's right, today's turning out to be a good day for penning metaphors, but just in case I've lost you (I get that a lot), here's what I mean: your orchestrations may not end up sounding quite as authentic as you had hoped because you didn't realize until now (uh oh) that playing recordings of real instruments doesn't guarantee realism. Or, their assessment might be more along the lines of, "wow, computers can do everything these days!" In fact, many people new to creating mockups have one foot planted in a fertile field of exactly that sentiment, while the other is stuck fast in the muddy swamp of disappointment.
To the layman, the idea of creating realistic-sounding orchestral music by knitting together pre-recorded snippets of musical performances'"which you had no hand in producing or conducting yourself'"might seem kinda nuts. But whatever you call them, one thing is for sure: the game of creating realistic-sounding orchestral music using samples isn't always an easy one to play.
They're called MIDI mockups, virtual orchestrations, and my favorite, "orchestral realizations".
