In this video, I go over how to create realistic-sounding orchestral instruments using just MIDI. I cover automation of dynamics, expression, modulation, breath control (for vibrato) for chordal pads, long notes, legatos, note repetition, and so much more...
The samples used in this video are from Spitfire and Cinesamples, and I use Cubase as my DAW.

Just want to stop by and recognize how much of a gold mine this video is. I keep referring people to it.
Thanks Nico! You're awesome! ❤️🙏
@@CinematicComposing What if i told you we can do this all with one slider and have them all react in a different manner.. check out GrumpyMonkey plugins.. i'm using Niente and AutoVibrato to do just what I have said in this comments. it's amazing.. I am using the progressive vibrato setting in Auto Vibrato and i use Niente to control the Expression CC. These plugins have changed my life.. their plugin Roll control and Xfade are both really awesome as well. Highly recommend everyone look at these.
There is 0 wasted time in this video. No fluff,no "whats up guys, this is blah blah, today were gonna blah blah". Instantly subscribed.
Thanks Marc. As many have said, this is precisely what so many videos lack: a clear explanation of what, how and why. These are complicated tools, and content creators often forget that beginners don’t even know what are the right questions to ask - they just feel the pain of not knowing!
To my knowledge, this is by far, the most detailed usage of automation to render strings more realistic. A tons of video just suggest use "automation" but no precise context or examples are presented. Well done!!!
Thank you, Marc and CC team -- your videos are a great service to the community! Particularly appreciate this one! Thanks again!
Well this was the best advice I gotten all year (2021) on digital orchestration. Thank you sir
KEEPING ASIDE THAT HOW MUCH I LOVE THESE TOPICS. THIS MAN IS MOTIVATING ME WITH HIS WAY OF COMMUNICATION WITH THAT BACKING MUSIC,,,, ADN TO MAKE A NOTE,
HIS VIDEOS ARE GEMS, WE CAN KEEP IT IN A BANK OF MUSICIANS.
This is by far, the best video I've seen on the tube demonstrating expression with virtual libraries. Other videos I've seen start promoting overpriced (cc focused) midi controllers, and neglect explaining details on why/how to use dynamics/expression/vibrato competently/convincingly.
not a classical composer by any means but we like having strings in our library compositions a lot for organic vibes and after watching this video a lot of stuff clicked for me that hadn't really before and a big part of that was those little stepped drops!! it really made things come to life as soon as I tried it on a string line. Cheers!!
You almost teached me everything I want to know about Strings modulation by this video man, Thank you very much and looking forwarding your new videos!
Oh my!!!! Finally.................fully explained. Thank you so very much. You are awesome Marc. 🙏🏾🌞
This is by far the best video I’ve seen on this technique. Thank you!!!
This was very helpful. Been looking for a good video about automation on strings for a while now, finally found one. Thank you so much!
You advices are so practical that should be applied in every single project. By the way, they work for electronic sounds as well, and almost for any vsti. Looking forward for your new videos
Wow, this video just confirmed what I have taken almost this last year to discover by myself. So big thanks for confirming my suspicion!
Incredible how much useful information is packed into this one video!
This is soooo helpful
! Thanks, Marc!
Fantastic video Marc, as always!
the best video on this topic on TH-cam. This channel is amazing
that's exactly what i was looking for
Yes, yes. What a help you give me. Thank you. Obrigado from Brasil.
Fantastic tutorial, you are a great tutor!!
Just subbed today. Saw your ad on YT and was impressed. Looking forward to digging into your videos. Cheers.
The 4th part(Note Repetition) is the real deal! Thanks!
Name of Zeus ! Absolutely fantastic ! Thanks a lot for sharing this, your clear explanations and your work !
VERY USEFUL VIDEO! THANKS THAT YOU EXIST!!
You are such a good man and so generous.
So good tips! Bring life to the orchestra, beautifull!
Awesome video. To the point and well explaned.
Really great work, brother. Many thanks.
Great info thanks as always fast and to the point
Amzing video, thank you so much !
I have been looking for a video like this for almost a year. I have been enjoying your course very much. Thank you for posting this! Having difficulty with Novation Launch Control as faders in Logic ProX but hoping I can set them up with older Mac operating system to the correct CC's. THANK YOU!
Awesome, Marc ! helpful tools
Thanks for this video! I agree 100% with Nico
Thank you Marc, fantastic video
One of the most valuable videos on the Internet regarding Orchestral music.
Fantastic video my man! To the point, clear and concise instruction 👌🏾
..
Excellent video. Great tips.
Huge help. With just the Logic Studio strings. Thank you
soooo good. Thank you!
Super helpful! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
This is great! I need to do this more
for years i've been used to just writing stuff by hand, but I'm starting to realize it might just be better to play stuff in. which is tough, because not only it's not what I'm used to, I'm not also that skilled in keyboard. it might take some trial end error, but probably less trial and error/time being wasted than writing midi data in.
Strongly agree with other comments, this is literally the missing link in representing virtual instruments as ‘real’. Great stuff. And the music vocabulary, useful too.
great video. great tips and i learned a lot. i was already using volume automation for some expression but somehow it never occurred to me to automate vibrato, etc. too.
and of course, the fact that you don't waste anyone's time cannot be understated. too many guides use too many words for too few ideas.
btw i did a double take when you switched to staccato on the fly hahaha. great stuff.
THAAAAAAANKS VLADIMIR!! Glad it was helpful!!
Great, as always !!!!
Well done job, sir, thanks!
Great tips Marc!
Thank you very much 🔥
Your videos is Gold!👏❤
So cool. thank you.
thank you for the great tutorial
Great tips!
Superb. A belated thank you.
Hi Marc, I'm a composer focused in film scoring and I love your explanation here, it made me realize I've been trying to bring realism out of virtual instruments in the wrong way. I was curious if I could ask your recommendation for a control surface to use the latch function with automation, or if there are any pros or cons in your experience between different models and brands. I primarily use Logic Pro and Native Instruments for context. Thank you for any advice you can share, I hope to work alongside you one day!
Really great tips on this video!!
Awesome!
Thanks!
One word : EXCELLENT !
Awesome trick!
This is very useful thank you
Fantastic tips! 👍👍
Really good video! Thanks Marc!
Heyyyy!! Thanks Clint! Good to see you here! How's family? Hope all's good
Amazing video. I was looking for something like this for a long time.
Glad you liked it!! :D
Man, thank you
Tack!
Superb . 😍🎼🎻🎹🎺🎸🎷🎤🎶🎵
Excellent video Marc!
Thanks Felipe!!
감사합니다. 엄청난 도움이 되는 내용이에요
This is gold
Thank you for these tips!! I need to get me an additional midi cc controller....I only have a midi controller keyboard and it doesn't seem enough. If you don't mind me asking, what gear are you using in this video?
Whoowa i never heard of breath control up till now , thanks i've been searching a to do something like this.... can you please tell me what controller are you using? i m in a desperate need of one ! :) thanks
Very interesting!
really cool video man !
Ty.
Good and clear video - not all I need is a good midi-control surface for Logic X - thanks
I have been searching for this also, started with the Akai midi mix; faders too short, got the Novation launch control; does not play well with logic, finally I think I found the answer, Presonus faderport 8; faders 100mm., once I found out from presonus how to get logic to recognize the cc's in midi mode (not clear in documentation or anywhere on line, and the customer support is not), finally it is doing what I want, and I can achieve the control I need. More than I wanted to spend, but you can also use it as a DAW controller and hopefully it will be helpful for mixing also.
Great!
Great tips! Thank you! But I am having problem; when I look at dynamics (modulation) section in Key Editor there is always a part (just in the beginning) with missing modulation signals (dynamic knob of midi controller falls to zero when I restart track to listen). Then I draw it manually with the drawing tool. It is frustrating. Any solution?
Klasse Beitrag.
Awesome vid ... Whats yr kontakt library ..it sounds so good
My thought was: This is gold. Then I noticed another comment describing this as a gold mine. And surprisingly compact for such an important video.
Do you know how I can do that with my nano kontrol 2 in studio one 4? Can’t find the modulation, expression or breath control in midi learn
Thanks for the video! What CC Midi Controller are you using?
very informative
Hi! wich is this controller? love this
HOW do we map our faders to handle both MIDI expression & channels?
Thank you for your awesome guide is it possible to get one in the PDF format ? Thank you =)
Great video. Your production values are getting better and better.
Marc, thanks!) great job. What midi controller are you using? Can’t recognise it((( thanks again
Hey Marc great video, thanks for all the help! I just have a (probably stupid) question :) Can I achieve the same result with the 2 knobs on my Native Instruments keyboard? It looks like you're using a totally separate device. Thanks man 👍
Thank you very much for the content, I would like to ask if this line that represents the dynamics, could be inserted after the execution of the song, why do I ask, there are pieces of music that require greater attention or perhaps need both hands, and the reaper program would have this function . thank you very much
I like your apporach!
Just subsibed to learn some more hacks, gonna go through your videos now. I'm trying to bring some live into my VSL strings, if you know what I mean 🙂
can you make a video about working with tempo across a whole arrangement? I like the chords and melodies i come up with but i can never work out how to work with tempo. If i record everything to a click it doesent have the ebb and flow i want but if i completely turn the click off and just play off feel it always becomes a disaster when i they to orchestrate more stuff ontop of what i played in. I know theres things like beat mapping but that only works when you have a steady pulse. Ive thought about recording everything to a click and just automating the tempo of the whole project after the fact but alot of the time when im playing off feel i switch up the time signature and phrasing for just a few bars and stuff like that and i feel like it would be tedious to automate everything after the fact. Thanks
ideally, how many faders are needed to control orchestral instruments? Thank you!
How do you add the effects? Are that "effect tracks"? I ask because I look for something like this. I always hack my scores into a notator like sibelius or dorico and want to apply all the libary things afterwards, but no idea how (working with Nuendo). I can read in a midi file and add plugins, but I want to add the effects with wheels or sliders afterwards as you show in the videos. Thanks for help!
Дякую 🙏
that sounds great, could you please share what is this piece of equipment you are using called? thnx
Hi Marc, what size screen to write music on Cubase?
thanx for sharing .. how did you record the modulation and expression without using automation
