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

[royzilbersher]

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

[javierestevez]

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

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

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?
