Wow this video is insanely valuable! This genre is my favourite to compose and I have been releasing epic orchestral stuff on youtube for some time now. This video has taught me so much and highlighted areas of improvement all over from the brass hits to the percussion! Thank you for filling me with a huge amount of inspiration to improve my writing! Please keep on making videos and inspiring musicians!!

Not quite sure is it battle themed enough, I think it needs more drum action, maybe timpanies and snares. Anyway the result sounds very nice, keep it up 👍

if you want something to sound realistic, you gotta stop so perfectly on the grid. humans dont play instruments perfectly on time like that

This is what I needed to see! The tip with automating the dynamics is really a pro tip in making orchestral music! <3

I clicked this for your willingness to put the version of FL that you use.
I don't even use FL but I figured it was a sign of you being someone genuine lol since a title like that could drive away viewers who maybe use some FL other than 20

Great video. The Orchestra doesn't get nearly enough love. Sonuscore doesn't screw around with their sample libraries.

If u add strum option in edit a little bit in piano roll it makes it realistic

[Kasurnajingmutdur]
