Love your stuff, I think I’m this piece, a high flute, mixed with a few other instruments might have worked better that the female vocal, just a thought, but I love the way you present your work, very understandable, clear, and, I’m a big fan
Perfect way to wake up on a Saturday morning. Cup of coffee in bed and a GBR Music tutorial. Happy. Thank you :)
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
Great, thank you!
I was literally waiting for your video. Just loved it.
Great video! Thanks for sharing your work!
Great work, thanks!!!
Just Awesome Bro

Exactly what I've needed. I have my discs full of music, tons and tons sheets, ideas... but never be able to do more with them. Now I must find a way how to obtain all those programs, libraries and how to use them - and begin!
amazing work. your work is really inspirational, well explained and eye-opener
Just Wow!!! Thank you so much👍👍

The piano melody is just so catchy👍👍.........love the orchestration too........ thanks for tutorial
Thanks for the midi files, these help a lot. I brought them into BBC Discovery and the free Luminous Choir Kontakt patch in Ableton and it sounds great, with some adjustments...mainly to percussion notes. 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!
Very good work .. Thank you

Another great tutorial on orchestration. You have helped me to understand the concept and separation of the instruments involved, as well as when/where to use them. Yes, as you say, it is somewhat difficult, however you are helping to remove the mystery behind it. BRAVO.

Another great tuto, Gabriel. 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.
Hello. Avec cette série Piano to full Orchestra, je pense que tu tiens le bon filon pour ta chaîne. Lâche rien, c'est vraiment une bonne idée !
You just become one of my gods with these videos

Hi Gabriel, many thanks for your videos...I'm just starting out on creating orchestral music...up to now I've just played the piano. Cheers! Dave S
Super helpful video, I love it. Definitely referring back next time I'm trying to orchestrate something

Well presented and informative. A touch of rubato would add realism.
Hello Gabe. Obviously, I am a little late in finding your YT channel and this particular episode. Thank you for sharing your time and experience with us. Merci et à bientôt !
Btw, I try the techniques you taught I learnt a lot.
Gawd i love to zanarkand gives me hardcore chills to this day
SImple et efficace! 15 minutes pour le draft et 15 heures pour donner de la vie à la pièce ensuite, il faut pas oublier de le dire :)
Un grand merci pour ce tuto vraiment super, simple et efficace merci, quel reverb utilises tu et pratiques tu un remix dessus? encore bravo!
Carillo would be so proud!!
Thank you Gabe. A very useful video. Keep up the good work please. Can I ask please - when you assign another instrument to play the melody, do you copy and paste to the new instrument track or do you actually play it through again using the new instrument? Merci bien.
Would love to see a video like this using notation software like Finale.
Hats down.
great tutorial, my mind in all moment was expecting the song from FFX to zanarkand, but i like with some minor changes sound another entire song :D
So, this is my next stage, after completing your last project. I have such a difficult time with Quantization in Logic! I don’t know why. So the strings, for me, are just off the beat. It still sounds great though! Also, I have a great book called ‘Midi Orchestration’; it’s big but very helpful.
These Piano to orchestration videos are great, and so was your Caminandes score for The Cue Tube competition. There are so many more videos on The Cue Tube site now. Would love to see a piano to orchestration on one of the videos or even create a score from scratch.

Excellent Tutorials, thank you very much for helping so much those of us who have just started with this exciting world of Music Production. I wanted to ask a big favor, if there is a possibility to share MIDI tracks, it would be of enormous use to be able to analyze them. From already thank you very much.
Nice video, thanks for sharing. I would like to know how you approach each instrument fx wise, like reverb, delay etc. Thanks again.
I really love this song ! it looks like "To Zanarkand" a little bit :p
Hi Gabriel..
If you could do the same with Logic that would be a great video. Thank you for your videos and your time in making them
Спасибо! :) Очень красиво!) Почему Вы больше не выкладываете видео на Ютубе? Надеюсь, у Вас всë хорошо! Буду рад Вашему появлению! Всего самого светлого и доброго Вам!)
thanks alot, this is awesome. what scale did you use? and any modulations? think i heard one. might be wrong (just getting into theory)

Thanks Chris! Absolutely! In French "la tierce Picarde". I had totally forgotten the name of it eventhough I use it super often. And now that you mention it, I think it could be the subject of a neat little video in a near future! Thanks for the idea! Take care my friend!
is this a pre existing song or did you just made something up for the tutorial? I really like this song and want to find it
Do you still recommend Rise and Hit by Native Instruments? For someone looking into rises/hits/orchestral FX?
Hi Grabiel - this is great stuff. Could you please tell me if the midi representation is quantised for display only (so real timing may be different) or was entered as a proper score? Thanks

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!

How do you work with notation, what is your workflow in creating sheets

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.
I can't play any instruments. However, here's a listen to some strings I did after using your techniques, and I can't play any instruments all. Thank you so much. Let me know what you think... @adNM
Can you do for my melody? How much do you charge? Can do deliver sheet music along with audio? Thank you for your reply
