The #1 Orchestral Mockup Mistake (and how to fix it!)

[@rafaelhernandez5550]

I always try to balance my mixing using the expression and modulation the more that I can. Thank you Chris,

[@ChristopherSiu]

That’s great to hear!

thanks for all the help chris!

[@ChristopherSiu]

You bet!

Do you know of any good brass libraries with trumpets that play a good fanfare style marcato?

[@alirezayousefirad]

Hi,I always see people say pan instruments of same range or similar sound to different parts of stereo field.
But If we want to blend 2 instrumens ,is it correct to pan them to different parts of stereo field or we should place them in the same place to blend them?

[@royzilbersher3228]

but why modulating the volume knob? those libraries suppose to be mixed by their own, if you have a volume jump or you want to fix it, you should do it thru the expression or mod and not thru the volume

Thanks from Brasil

how did u use the reverb? I think its really hard to balance the deep of the instruments vs the tail and muddy things of a lot of reverb

[@ChristopherSiu]

I like to start with dryer, detailed instruments with some pre-delay, so the source itself doesn't get muddied with the reverb. Then it's all about matching the depth of the reverb with the wetter samples you have!

@@ChristopherSiu i use EW spaces on each bus and vallhala room with a short % on the master. But i cant reach that high lvl definition & deep on each instrument

Try cinematic rooms’ reverb or samplicity berlin

[@georgechadwick8642]

Are you sidechaining your reverb? And EQing the reverb? @@javierestevez9680

[@alirezayousefirad]

@@ChristopherSiu is this right to use different reverb plugins with different decay rate in the mix?

Very useful
