  • New tutorial series "String Arrangements"

    Hello to all the sample-friends of the world

    I’ve just started a new tutorial series „String Arrangements“.
    For all of those people who are new composers, arrangers, sample musicians and sample users I will show you in a first step (5 parts) how you can appoint strings in different ways.
    The two varieties „string-floor“(chords) and "melody" we know. Let’s take the melody. You can play it with cellos, violas, in the low register, in a middle range, cellos together with violins, together with harmonies – harmonies above /below the melody, with ensembles or with solo instruments… About all those things and more you will be able to read, see and listen to in the new tutorials.

    Unfortunately I’m still writing them, but part1 and part2 I have finished.
    Every part will be divided in two sections > 1. Arrangement Section/ 2. Technical Section.
    So the 2nd half of the tutorial parts will focus technical aspects of the particular learning piece.
    So you will also get some more VI-tricks and audio-handling tricks connected with instruments, the mix and so on.
    If you are interested, then you are invited to visit

    Your generosity never ceases to amaze me. New users will greatly appreciate your tutorials! I'm always referring your site to different people and they consider them a blessing. You explain in clear terms that which most of us cannot in the time we have available.

    Speaking of which, I don't know how you find the time!!

    Thanks for your dedication! [:P]

  • I echo JWL's sentiments. I don't know how you find the time, and you still explain things so clearly. When I first got the Woodwinds samples, I went straight to you site and did you midi tutorial -- it instantly got me going with the VI interface and workflow.

    Thanks again.
