You don't have to do all that work to get separate MIDI files for each instrument. Everytime you "perform" the MIDI is recorded automatically. Afterwards, go down in the right hand corner to where the little "hand" is and just drag and drop the midi into your DAW. ALL the tracks will be created automatically. Then assign your DAW Midi Channels to the same ones in each Orchestrator instrument.
I have paid a whole years subscription for horrible tutorials from the developers. Today I finally get my monies worth thanks to you. Excellent and down to earth tutorial. Thanks so much!
Having just signed up to this, I am so appreciative to have found this video. Another comment below supports the fact the instruction manuals are much harder to follow, and you have in a short amount of time answered all of the questions I had. thanks ever so much !
H Chris, love your videos I learned a lot from you. With Orchestrator no need to record a new midi track. You can drag and drop the orchestration. Play the orchestration and drag the little hand at the right of the Bypass button on your tracks window. Voila 16 new tracks.
Yes, exactly! This is the new feature in the current OPUS Orchestrator version and was on the community wish list. And Boom…., now ist there! Trank you EastWest! 😊👍🏼
15:00 that was my most important question answered and BOOM - all orchestration tricks expanded. Print the score and bring to your bedroom or piano for study! You're the Maestro Chris!!
9:38 I loved listening to this!! I am trying composing for my dad who is terminally ill. He loves music, as I do. Trying to do this by ear! Hoping to give him a minute of awe and peace. I just have managed to make Opus work with Logic. I have no music theory preparation and I only know two chords..! I am trying playing nby ear and compose by ear. EW is helping me trying to find a way.
Hi Chris, Thank you SO MUCH for your videos. It's a tremendous help for me especially the part you showed how to split the recorded MIDI into separate tracks. I really appreciate your videos!
Thx Chris, I learned many tips and techniques from your tutorials, regardling the EW orchestra Opus it's very powerful tool, just received last week in hard drive☺️
Thank You, Chris!!! How you explain everything simply and clearly! This is very valuable for me as a person who does not know English 100% !!! But, I understand everything that you are telling!) Thank you for your work! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! You are a real professional in your field!
Hi Chris Many thanks for your videos from France I wish you speak about separate midi channel with a vst instrument like halion 6 . Thanks agazin for your job
Nice video. You know you can just drag and drop the track based midi data directly from the "record" thing in lower right corner of Orchestrator right?
Thanks for the tips, I'm a composer cloud subscriber and your tricks were really useful. I am having a rought time copying/duplicating the Opus VST from one midi track to another in Ableton Live 11, there seems to be a bug. Will be contacting tech support. Best regards
That is really interesting for sketches and developing ideas. Quick questions : what about using the Cubase Chord track and Chord pads to control the Orchestrator? Especially with the midi cc in Chord Pads, that could be a fantastic tool. Have you looked into that? If yes, how is it?
Looks amazing Chris and you explained it super clearly as always! I don't really have a use for it as yet but do you know whether it's possible to subscribe for say 1 or 2 months only just to complete a specific one off project and then bounce it to audio?
Opus is now for 398 dollars.When you buy it without subscription which banks we will "not" have? I couldnt find any information about this on their website
Hi Chris Thank you for the Video! you Always come up with useful tips. I just had one question @15.50 in the video you changed the output of the MIDI by selecting all the midi channels and just changing the output and it affect all the selected midi channels but in my case it does not happen ! it just changes the for the channel I'm doing. is there some setting I need to change? Thx in advance :)
thanks a lot! especially the "route-midi-out" part was new to me. actually I have troubles to get the orchestrator in Sync with the click in cubase... anyone has an idea on this? (Buffer at 64 samples)
Hi Chris. Thanks for your insight on EastWest Orchestrator. Noob question. I use Ableton Live 10. Am I able to export individual tracks from a MIDI performance like you did in Cubase? Thanks a bunch!
Hey! You can do that in ableton by using the rec tool in hollywood orchestrator. Just drag and drop it into your daw and it will split everything into different midi channels
There is now a much easier method of exporting MIDI tracks - using the hand icon in the bottom rhs of Opus. It's explained here: th-cam.com/video/rrpyaJ_gloE/w-d-xo.html Also, pricing wise EW often sells Opus at up to 60% off, (more frequently 50%) sometimes this is on EW sites, sometimes only on some external shops. Hollywood Opus diamond comes with Orchestrator
I produced this using Orchestrator: th-cam.com/video/TefGe5X4inI/w-d-xo.html I needed a quick little piece that had a clean sample range to repeat over and over on a title screen for a game. I used two orchestrator channels. One was an ensemble, full orchestra and the other was a score. I tied both of them to MIDI Channel 1 so I was playing both tracks at the same time.
Hey Chris I love your tutorials and courses. I like you just as you are. Please... the background music is a distraction. Your a good presenter - you don't need it.
WAIT.,.. You talked about orchestrator and focused on it like it was a product that could be purchased individually and then rolled it into the OPUS package. I'm not trying to be a jerk here, but as a regular viewer... I feel as though you ran us into a "Switch-out", looping us from one thing to another as it doesn't seem orchestrator is a separate tool. I ask you not to use strategies which counter the sincerity of your brand, as it makes me feel as though I need to begin questioning what you tell me about products, whether they are a pitch (regardless of whether you personally get paid for it) or whether it is information about great tools (whether free, OR I am GLAD to pay for good tools if I can afford them and they suit my purpose, as I am sure many feel the same). But I earnestly feel misled by this. This is NOT a judgement. I do not know you personally, and would not attempt to weigh your character. This is merely a single person's perspective of this video. And, I am sharing it with you, as a content provider who I respect (and do not want to see losing support/viewers/revenue). Thank you for any time and/or attention paid to this comment. I wish you a very successful holiday quarter. And, a wonderful holiday season to your family.
I do mention at the beginning of the video that I'm talking about the Hollywood Orchestra Opus Edition with a big picture of this VSTi, and that for this video I focus on the Orchestrator only that is part of this vsti.

I have had the Composer Cloud Collection for quite a few years, and the OPUS/Orchestrator is worth the cost of admission!
Could be a good way to get into orchestration, by seeing all the different parts extracted like you show!
That's what i like the most about it!
Hi Chris, Thank you SO MUCH for your videos. It's a tremendous help for me especially the part you showed how to split the recorded MIDI into separate tracks. I really appreciate your videos!
Very interesting video! Love the EastWest libraries!!!
They sound great!
Thx Chris, I learned many tips and techniques from your tutorials, regardling the EW orchestra Opus it's very powerful tool, just received last week in hard drive☺️
That's awesome, glad you learn tips from my vids, that's the goal. enjoy EW Opus!!

You're very welcome, and thank you!
Thx much for demoing the preset. You saved me some time.;)
That's awesome!
Thanks very much for the credits. I hope I could help. Cheers.
you are very humble and kind ,mate..thanks..
Hi Chris, for simple hiphop and rnb orchestral sounds would you recommend this?
Great Orchestrator sounds and would be great for making Soundtracks for Film/TV Series.
Sound's pretty good for sure
@George Overworth I know this, to do with copyright and would have to get permission and probably pay royalties.
Hi Chris
Many thanks for your videos from France
I wish you speak about separate midi channel with a vst instrument like halion 6 . Thanks agazin for your job
Great video and very helpful. Thank you so much.
Nice video. You know you can just drag and drop the track based midi data directly from the "record" thing in lower right corner of Orchestrator right?
hi there, can external sounds say from kontakt be routed to ewqlso opus player to match reverb and panning so that they blend in with ewqlso?
Hallo Chris.My daw cubase 11pro Why is the above instrument not showing in my midi channel input?
this video sold me on it. thanks

I love this, definitely on my list of plugins to own. Reminds me a bit of Action Strings.

How do you record your screen and get audio from your PC and also record your video all at the same time ?
Is it possible to do this in logicx?
Good start to orchestration as well as the music
Thanks!
Incredible and useful.
thanks a lot! especially the "route-midi-out" part was new to me. actually I have troubles to get the orchestrator in Sync with the click in cubase... anyone has an idea on this? (Buffer at 64 samples)
thanks Chris!!!
Any time!
15:00 thx for showing this obvious thing that i forgot ;)
You have a great voice
Hollywood Orchestrator now has a MIDI export tool. You'd just have to drag and drop the midi data from Opus to your DAW.,
Thank you Chris 😊👍🏻
Hi Chris. Thanks for your insight on EastWest Orchestrator.

@@Searly
Thanks a bunch Searly, much appreciated! 🙏
Chris, have you checked the little "Rec" icon on the bottom right corner of the orchestrator? If haven't, check it out, it will surprise you ;-)
Excellent sound 👌
For sure! That's an very good VSTi
Chris.....you're ready for your first movie soundtrack.....pretty soon, I can say.... I knew you when.
Wowo you could really study with it
That's pretty impressive
For sure!
Making a backup takes almost 10 seconds with this vst on a good computer ... it is unbearable. Do you have the same problems?

Hey Daniel, Thanks for your comment, I appreciate your honesty. You know that this channel is about music production ;-)
thanks
Sweet!
Hey Vsauce, Michael here
Excellent ....
Thank you! 🙂
@@mixdownonline Please can you give me a shoutout
That pronunciation of "Goliath"!
I was just thinking to myself, "man there aren't enough movies with generic knock off Hans Zimmer soundtracks."
I just deleted it. Crashes everything.
Can replace pretty much 90% of the "epic" music written around the web. At last.
Yep! :-)
CHRIS IS THE BEST
Lol, thanks!
if only it didn't weight400 GBs

Calling this symphony is like calling a Twinky a wedding cake
No offense.... AI music....People feel like they are in fact, the performer....
