Mixing strings – How to make them sound EPIC & STAND OUT in hybrid music

Mixing strings to make them sound EPIC and STAND OUT? For instance in a hybrid epic orchestral track. In this video I show you my workflow. In the Logic Pro session of my own track called “The Deep” – it’s on the channel if you would like to hear the entire track 😉

But realize, this isn’t a one-size fits all solution for mixing strings. Yet, you still should get some great pointers about using EQ (think about boosting frequencies in left or right spectrum) and the use of a saturation plugin. So start experimenting with your own settings and trust your ears!
