Various Film Excerpts Played by MuseScore 4

This video is to demonstrate the power of the all-new playback engine of #MuseScore4

One score got left behind and did not make it to the video. Here it is :)

I’ll never get over how beautiful the French horn sound is now

[PPedroFernandes]

I think there's a thing most people I see talking about this on this and other videos are missing: musescore is *NOTATION* software. Notation. It's not a DAW or something similar. The fact it can this well is already incredible.

The thing that annoys me the very most about any VST orchestra, is actually not the quality of the instruments, but that annoying attack they have on every single note (a volume swell from the start of the note). MS4 letting Muse Sounds understand the phrase helps this so much I'm actually considering seeing if I can render any orchestral bit in MS then bringing it to the daw afterwards.

Wow! What a transformation. The harp gliss. at 1:12 is still pretty wack tho😂

[miguelguthridge]

This is absolutely spectacular! I don't doubt that you could get a better sound out of a proper VST with a bunch of tweaking, but for an out-of-the-box sound this is genuinely incredible!

Winds need a little rebalancing as they're drowned out by the strings, but love the sound in general!

[nathanaelhahn]

Wow, MuseSounds is the tool we've wanted for a long time. Nothing perfect, just something that actually sounds great when you play it back!

Edit: can you believe this stuff is FREE???

[trevivision]

I almost got them all.

0:02 is the Disney Logo Theme
0:37 is “Transformation” (from Beauty and the Beast)
2:53 is “Birth of Sandman” (from Spider-Man 3)
4:29 is “One Day” (from Pirates of the Caribbean: At World’s End)
4:55 is “Transformation/The End” (from Shrek)

But I’m not familiar with the themes at 2:11 and 3:53.

[LJMadrigalMusic]

the Transformation track fro Shrek always mesmerize me. It's just too beautiful.

[CNCiel]

Oh my goodness, I only recently downloaded MuseScore 4 and the Muse Sounds and listening to the playbacks literally made me start crying. The sound is simply phenomenal.

[toastteddy]

This is . . . magical. While there are clearly still a few challenges in terms of not giving away that the sound isn't coming from an actual recording (realistic glissandos, the natural flourishes and imperfections that come with a human performance, etc.), this is still utterly incredible.

[mouthy_maestrod]

Good God I'm never not amazed by the beautiful Sandman theme.

[daeda]

That one harp gliss. @1:12 playback is set to chromatic instead of diatonic probably.

[DirkTomandl]

It sounds great, especially given that it is using default settings. However, after having heard several examples I believe that NotePerformer still has a better, more musical and expressive playback engine. Of course, it's current samples are not as good as the new MuseScore samples but this will likely change with the upcoming NotePerformer v4.

[Timzart]

Love the first one, especially. To test MS4, I imported a bunch of midis from the MIDI Classical Archive and many have balance problems, like the strings are barely audible and horns are too loud, but some of them were pretty good.

[Metalpazallteway]

Zorro theme and Sandman are definitely my favorite. Thank you for sharing btw. Great work and analysis!!

Can't wait to hear the Dances With Wolves soundtrack with the new Muse Sounds!

[LuisOtavioZimmermann]

Amazing! Incredible how this is a free and open source tool.
