how to make midi strings sound realistic

In this video, I show you how to make midi strings sound realistic. In particular, I focus on three main elements which include dynamic range, expression and tempo mapping. Automating these elements brings character and depth to static midi strings, making them feel lively and realistic. I’m sure there are other methods for making midi strings more realistic and I’d love to know if you have any tips. Comment them below if you do! As always, I hope you get something from the video and thanks for watching 😊 DOWNLOAD my FREE guide: Free plugins every producer, composer and musician should know about: https://6ff9ba1002e111f0a1382764697828db.eo.page/y3v43 Follow me on insta ✨ https://www.instagram.com/the.garden.of.music_/ Listen to my music on Spotify 🎹 https://open.spotify.com/artist/2LaJFZkh3uuG1MX0pRTEJx?si=yeUwXnj-QOyo1VCXFZ-C6w Timestamps 0:00 Intro 0:11 BBC Symphony Orchestra 0:59 example composition 2:09 tip 1: automate the dynamic range (volume) 2:54 automating volume using mod wheel 4:16 automating volume using faderport 1 5:02 tip 2: automating expression (technique) 5:44 automating expression using mouse 6:10 composition playback (dynamic range + expression) 6:48 tip 3: tempo mapping 9:21 example composition prior to changes 10:03 example composition with changes 11:11 pickup my free guide! 11:36 thanks for watching :) #midi #strings #spitfireaudio #symphonyorchestra #realistic
