Orchestral Template for Beginners
Learn how to build an orchestral template, with panning and balancing

What you will learn

How to build an orchestral template in a DAW and balance it.

Description

Building an orchestral template in a Digital Audio Workstation is not as scary as it may appear. This course will show you how to do this.

You will learn about the main instrument groups, individual instruments used in an orchestra, but that’s just a start. You will also learn about basics of routing the signal, then about panning the orchestra, and finally you will balance your instruments to create a realistic sounding virtual orchestra.

You will be provided with audio and MIDI files to make balancing a lot easier, too, as I give you my own composition, “Dreamlords”, as individual instruments that you can use as a reference.
