In this video, I teach my 5 favorite tips to take your MIDI strings from sounding dull, lifeless and fake to feeling full, organic and highly expressive. These steps will help to make your MIDI orchestra sound more lifelike and unique, setting you apart from everyone else out there using the same libraries. I cover orchestration, patch selection, mod-wheel & expression controls, recording, programming, quantizing, negative delay, and even how to layer multiple libraries from different manufacturers.
These methods can be used with ANY DAW and ANY sample library, even stock stuff, so this can be used by anyone, regardless of workflow or software dependancies.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions, and thanks for watching!
