In Mixing and mastering...how do i get that sound..that big roomy sound
It's funny, I watched a few interviews (recorded in 2010 & 2011) of Hans and he always pointed out that he can't understand why people try to copy his sound and don't go out and create their own stuff. It's not that hard, it's just effort. ...
The main problem is that many people want to take a short cut where there is none! It's not only about the money, it's about experience and making a lot of mistakes while experimenting.
Many people (especially young composers) want to do the same things like the great ones (by that I don't mean Hans especially, but all successful composers) but they don't care about taking a look behind the curtain.
You can't compensate the lack of decades of experience (in writing, producing, connecting to other people, being around at events, etc. ...) with buying some expensive analogue hardware. That's not the way a business works.
Btw, I'm so glad that there are "composers" on this planet who can make a great library sound like crap (and those composers are even proud of their work but wonder why nobody gives them a job). They don't know how to use the instruments, the gear is only one aspect among many.
Nevertheless, asking "how do I sound like XXX" implies that you are open to improve your own work/sound. I guess, that's a step into the right direction.
The only way I can answer this (because I don't know better) is: experiment, experiment, experiment ...
Hello
What I like about Hans Zimmer's stuff, to me it sounds very natural and it's a real joy to listen to. He still manages to get a huge sound, but maintaining the natural feel. Atleast that's what I'm hearing. You can really tell if something is over processed and that's a sound I'm not a fan of.
As for a big room sound. A good reverb maybe? I don't know. It would help if you were more specific.
With the right amount of money in my pocket. Then I think I would manage to get that sound to

People think that way until they actually have to do it and find out how damn hard it really is.
money will buy you a great room with a great engineer and great players but it will not buy you knowledge and experience, both of which Hans has a lot of.
Then there is also the talent thing
