Balance – Orchestral Mockup

Gh0stwrit3r · September 20, 2019

This week we continue in creating a more realistic orchestral template. We’re going to apply the concept of balancing. A difficult, but very important concept. If you get your balance of the orchestral instruments right, you’re 90% on your way to create realistic orchestral mockups!

Don’t forget to hit that like button if you appreciate this video. And sub to my channel if you’re interested in how to write orchestral music for film, tv and games. Or have an interest in sounddesign and sound recording.

Download this week’s project file

A couple of weeks ago I started the Masterclass on Youtube with the video preparations. I shared my project files (midi mockup etc.) with you all. If you haven’t downloaded them yet, here is the direct link: http://bit.ly/show-opener-gh0stwrit3r-music

This week we concentrate on the balancing of the different orchestral instruments. In the video I show you where and how to apply the balancing. And you get a new project file in which I have written down my balance settings.

You can download the project file of this week here: http://bit.ly/2krcqW3

Want to know more about balance?

Maybe you still have some questions about the concept of balancing after watching this video. For example, why do you even have to balance the different orchestral instruments?

Maybe this post and video will help you out. Still having questions after this? Feel free to ask them in the comments!

Patrons have access to short scores and mockups

If you support me on Patreon for only 1 dollar (ex. VAT) a month, you’ll get access to the orchestral sketches. And of course you can download my music tracks for personal listening too! I guess a no-brainer … lots of detailed information and joy for the price of a cup of coffee!
