The Art of Orchestral Sampling II : Sonuscore : Compose Without Limits ! Hosted by Vin Curigliano of AAVIM Technology, I am joined by guest co-host Pete Brown of Microsoft, and special guest Tilman Sillescu, who is the co-founder of Sonuscore, who are a leading, highly respected and widely used Orchestral sample library and instrument developer. We discuss Tilman's history in music and technology, his early forays into scoring and composition for games, initially finding success using sample libraries which then lead to larger projects utilizing full orchestras. We cover the motivation to venture into Orchestral sample library development , and explore some of the shortcomings with other available libraries, that the team wanted to address when developing the Sonuscore libraries and instruments. We navigate Sonuscores milestone releases and innovations, various sample playback engines, the behind the scenes drive for creativity and design, and their partnerships with other 3rd party developers. We also cover the day to day back end mechanisms for distribution, delivery, licensing, etc.  We discuss the emerging technologies and potential impacts to the industry, weigh up the pro's and cons of AI, get side tracked with some stories of outback aussie adventures in classic cars , and much, much more !
