I've been writing and recording for a very long time. I really like these videos you are producing. Not only are they a fine refresher course and reminders of fundamentals (which we should constantly drill on) they are clear, concise, to the point, and engaging. Thanks for producing these.
Thanks Ryan for these invaluable videos. I'm an old (very old!) rocker who's only in recent years got into orchestration. This is all a great help to me.
Thank you, Ryan for making the entire EW Academy series happen. This series helps me a lot to untangling my confusion on orchestration. Your guidelines are excellent examples to learn first principles on how to do orchestration properly and intentionally, just brilliant.
This series is now pitched exactly where I am in my journey. Beyond the basics and shy of deep orchestration theory. Perfect, thanks Ryan. (I still use my Symphonic Gold instruments in my mixes, to this day they sound lovely!)
Always worthwhile listening to Ryan. His tutorials are clear, informative, and of course useful. His examples are to the point and without wasted words. Most of all, they are inspirational as well. Thank you Ryan! 👍
Fantastic segment! I absolutely loved the demonstration of the open and closed chordal structure, especially when used with orchestral sections (instead of just a piano). That was impactful and is now causing me to rethink how to wring more emotion out of strings, or other instruments, for that matter. Also, the advice on doubling of instruments was superb; this is something that is missing in so many discussions, but you really illustrated some nice pairings. Once again, outstanding material. Thanks Ryan and EW for putting these out. My current ComposerCloud subscription is directly tied to these videos and I'm continuing to discover just how much more I have to learn.
Really wish these videos existed when I started out years ago, great tutorial and those samples and the way they've been orchestrated are awesome, companies like East West have certainly raised the bar in sample technology to a very high level.
Very good stuff. To think of what is capable now with these virtual instruments, and at a price much more within reach for average people. How far we have come from FM synthesis or even simple wavetable tech. These academy videos really help to show what is possible when these tools are combined with know-how.
Thank you Ryan. Your explanations are very clear and effective, and all in a good mood.I've just got composer cloud + and it's a blast! Greetings from France.
This is fantastic Ryan, I'm just writing music for a short meter movie and you help me very well... So I note that you have a orchestral template to work with, it's not really an Eastwest subject, but can you explain it in a new video ? Thanks a lot - DomsToo
Ryan, just a thought on chord voicing for example, it would be very nice if you could include a short list of "must read if you want to dig deeper". Now, I know there is a ton of literature on music theory out there, but I would be very interested in particular what books you found most influential when it comes to the science of all this.
Love the practical examples in these videos. Just got HOOPUS for BF and am excited to try them out! Do you think you might address DAW composing tips like template organization and working with track delays in the future?
I have a question. I don't know if it will happen to other people, but sometimes an instrument disappears; the track remains but the instrument has disappeared from Opus and I have to load it again. I use Logic pro and like Opus I have updated to the latest version.
Thanks Ryan, i would listen to this man teaching orchestral music ALL DAY! DO, MORE :) !
Please add more!🙏

Great tutorial! It's also nice and refreshing to see slower edits, time for reflection and well thought-through examples. Good job Ryan and EW!
Pls upload next videos soon.. we need these kind of videos

amazing...
This is packed full of gold. Thank you!

Awesome tutorial. Recently purchased EW Fantasy and man am I excited to continue to learn to compose with it! Your guidance here is super helpful.
Great video!
Thank you, Ryan! Great tips, as usual!
Aside the skill of this guy , those samples are really good.Narrowed to this kind of music but REALLY good.
Thank you so much for the videos. Im really learning alot.
This is awesome! Thank you so much!!!

Awesome tips ,thanks
I hope that east west will creat new interesting synth plugins
Will EW ever release the Symphonic Orchestra Free again?
Amazing! Quick question, does EW string libraries contain articulations such as Ricochet, Sul Tasto and the likes?
I have a question. I don't know if it will happen to other people, but sometimes an instrument disappears; the track remains but the instrument has disappeared from Opus and I have to load it again. I use Logic pro and like Opus I have updated to the latest version.
6:30 Can someone explain, how the key range can be extended? I cant find any answers on google
Can anyone tell me what DAW Ryan is using here? I'm an old school Cubase user.
A little bit inspired by danny elfman 😉
Is this Digital Performer or Logic Pro?
