Your negative delay tip was just what I was looking for! Thank you 🙏 I was dragging all the MIDI notes manually and still ended up off timing after days of editing. Golden Tip 🥳

[elijahgrajkowski]

Thanks, Mark, for these tips. I mostly use a separate instance for each instrument, rather than the ensemble patches, as well. Another thing to try is to connect or sustain any common tones between chords instead of re-attacking them. This helps to make it sound even smoother, but it would also depend on the context as to whether that will sound appropriate.

Great video Mark. Excellent tips, can't stress enough how important automation of volume and expression are.

Great video, was already doing everything except expression automation

[karayuschij]

As far as the delay is concerned, I find it unacceptable that at the price these libraries cost, the delay is not corrected by the producers of these libraries when they are created!

[kevinmarquez]

Isn't this also the chord progression from a halo 3 theme?

EDIT: It certainly sounds similar:


Maybe that's where Marty O'Donnell was drawing from.

[FrankBell]

Whats the advantage of bussing the verb vs slapping it in the summed stack?

[adowilke]

Can you please make a video showing the settings of your reverbs and delays? Thanks!

If violin 1 and 2 are octaves, and the bass is the same but octaves lower, are the viola and cello, 3 and 5?
