What if you could create orchestral mockups that sound balanced, full, and rich, without having to buy new sample libraries?
Discover the fundamental techniques all professional MIDI orchestrators use for clear, realistic, and convincing orchestral mockups.
Too many of us struggle to create realistic mockups that we're proud to share with the world.
Creating a convincing orchestral mockup is like a dream come true...it's truly like having an orchestra at your fingertips! At the same time, it's very easy to become lost and overwhelmed by the process.
At some point or another, we've all come across feelings of insecurity regarding how to balance the instruments properly, achieve dynamics and realism, and find clarity in our arrangements.
You know what? It's not your fault!
Sample library developers provide us with the tools, but rarely do they explain how to use these instruments in a full orchestra setting.
How are we supposed to combine different instruments? How do real performers play, and how do we mimic this in our own arrangements? Is there something we're missing?
The truth is, we can have the best sample libraries in the world, but that means nothing unless we understand how to use them properly.
Most composers feel lost because don't completely understand how a real orchestra works and functions, and don't understand what techniques to apply to their mockups to create a convincing result. This is why so many mockups sound amateur and lifeless.
What you're missing is a system. And I'm about to give that to you.
Over the past 4+ years, I've been helping thousands of musicians and composers all over the world with their compositions and orchestrations, and have had the wonderful opportunity to work with composers and artists such as Tina Guo, Anne-Kathrin Dern, and Steven Melin.
In each of these projects, I used MIDI orchestration to enhance their existing ideas, and have produced music that has been featured on national television and to their respective audiences.
More specifically, I used fundamental techniques to achieve lifelike and convincing results that truly represent the orchestra.
And these exact techniques are what I'm sharing with you.
Introducing: MIDI Mockup Secrets
10 essential techniques designed to help you dramatically improve the quality and realism of your orchestral mockups.
Achieve a realistic balance
Set the proper balances for your instrument tracks, every time.
Blend microphone positions and articulations
Discover the secret to a cohesive and realistic mockup through blending and matching.
Write idiomatically for the orchestra
Learn the best practices to writing parts that are actually playable.
MIDI Mockup Secrets is designed to help you:
- Understand the core techniques professional composers use every day for their mockups.
- Remove all guesswork when it comes to working with sample libraries.
- Think about the orchestra in a musical and linear way.
- Balance your instruments in a realistic manner that accurately represents a real orchestra.
- Use dynamics and expression to pull the most musicality from your samples.
If creating orchestral mockups was as easy as playing in your lines and calling it a day, everyone would be a mockup master. But you and I both know that it's not that simple!
There's depth to a convincing orchestral mockup. Real players perform with subtlety, emotion, and natural phrasing, and these nuances are what we really should be focusing on.
At the end of the day, it's the skill you possess that makes the difference between a good and a great mockup. And these necessary skills are exactly what we're going to cover in this course.
By the end of MIDI Mockup Secrets, you will be able to:
- Create orchestral mockups that sound realistic and represent an orchestra accurately
- Understand the orchestra on a deeper level, enabling you to write and arrange with confidence
- Create mixes that will impress your listeners and attract the right clients
- Follow a systematic framework that you can apply to every project in the future
- Utilize your sample libraries more effectively, pulling the best from them instead of relying on external plugins
