If you get to a point where you listen to a recording and you recognize what voice comes from what instrument\s, you are in a good position. ![]() for that I sometimes listen to solo pieces just to be more familiar with the sound of some instrument. ![]() What you do have to do in order to be good at both, is to listen a lot to orchestral music, and start to recognize the sound of the individual instruments. Real orchestration and orchestral MIDI mockups is completely different. IMO you don't have to know real orchestration in order to do orchestral MIDI mockups. Does anyone know the name of that software? Any other recommendations? Also, I remember I've seen demos of a VST some years ago whose name I can't remember but the more distinguishing feature was that it's not simply a bunch of orchestra instruments controllable through MIDI which would always sound artificial but also contained numerous phrases with articulations typical for each instrument which sounded like a real orchestra. I am a total newbie and so I ordered Rimsky-Korsakov's Principles of Orchestration book but also wondered what VST would be as close to recreating a real symphonic orchestra in order for me to test the theory and experiment myself? I see Garritan have some orchestra VST-s and they make the excellent CFX so I think I might try it.
