    I love orchestral music and hope to create something myself using FL Studio DAW. This video has helped me enormously. Being a DanceSport teacher I am used to dancing to orchestral strict tempo so it is in my blood so to speak. But I hope it isn't too big a leap from that to full orchestral arrangement with varying tempi.

    Particularly magical is the part where it goes from G major to D minor where the melody hits the 3rd of the chord, boosting its color. Sounds incredible

It helps to have the .wav files as well for stuff like the risers that might be hard for me to replicate. I really like that you start with piano as I do. Looking forward to more like this!

Your "from piano sketch to full Orchestra" is a genius idea, and you have real qualities in pedagogy, such as adding the staves below the tracks, or offering for free your midi file, which you're the lonely one to do. Un grand merci pour ton temps, ton talent et ta générosité.

  • @grmusicnyc

    @grmusicnyc

    3 жыл бұрын

    Hi Alan. I usually play and record all the parts and then make adjustments. In this case I did a lot of quantification and lenght adjustments (through the very powerful and practical Cubase MIDI functions menu) to clarify the score in notation. Without doing that its almost unreadable. I would probably do less of that of i didn't need to show the written parts and just needed the audio as the final product. But it doesn't hurt. A lot of this is also a work in progress for me and i keep Discovering new things when making these tutorials so i might just keep doing it since it seems to be good practice. Hope that answers the question. Cheers!

    I used to do a lot of jazz arranging. Mostly in sibelius. I've created a lot of charts in that software so the use of the keypad became natural with time. For orchestral I usually import the MIDI from cubase into sibelius after cleaning up the note lengths amd quantization. It really makes created the sheet music much faster after the music is already written.
