Description
Lots of new testing of violins, woodwinds, and a little bit of real clarinet in there by yours truly.
Lessons Learned
Orchestra vst performances, even easy ones, are reallllly hard for me to make XD. Better to just play the damn instruments yourself lol

Is super nice blooming type beat. Only thing i'd point out is bassoon? or whatever woodwind u got going up untill 0:20 stays in left channel even tho the room is empty untill other instruments come in, a touch of panning up for first few seconds and is pretty much perfect. verygj, one of the best subs for sure.
Good job man! Really beautiful and peaceful composition.
Very sweet! Love it man. And you did it yourself? Crazy! But, very good tune you got here!
Adding to what Den mentioned, there is also a articulation manager plugin for FL Studio I've heard a lot of people using that might help with working with orchestral sample sounds called BRSO by Blake Robinson, might be worth checking out.
Vibe is great all throughout, I personally would maybe make the live clarinet sound a bit more distant in the room placement wise, but that's my personal taste 😄
Good stuff!
I found it beautiful! And I also have issues with orchestras hahaha
Nice harmonies, that is a very sweet arrangement, I really enjoyed listening to it. I know orchestral mapping is a pain you gotta make all sorts of automation to make it sound decent. The only thing that seems weird for me is the panning of the strings sound either too much on the left or too wide in general, But thats my only point, georgous chords super simple with some nice extension here and there. Well done !
In new york I milly rock, hide it in my sock- Ehrm... jokes aside, this is a really nice, simple but beautiful sounding piece of music that really sets up a nice mood, good work! Making vst orchestral instruments sound realistic is pretty hard, but if this could help you in Fl studio you can automate parameters directly inside of a pattern's piano roll by clicking "edit events in piano roll" instead of making an automation clip. In my opinion is so much easier to draw automation that way especially when constantly moving around dynamics and expression faders is so important for making vst instruments sound real. You can also link the parameter to a midi mod wheel and record the automation yourself in real time, then edit it later. Hope this helps!Great job! I think you nailed the harmonies with this one, especially considering I also find it hard to make good orchestral vst performances.
