But if you’re planning to perform or record your works live with real musicians, a strong knowledge of each instrument’s strengths and limitations is essential – regardless of the level of musicianship on the stage!
A good orchestrator/composer also knows how to combine instruments within a section and in larger ensembles to get the best sonic results.Īs opposed to real musicians, sampled instruments are patient and will play (almost) everything. In both cases, it is essential to understand their specific sound characteristics and playing techniques across the instrument’s pitch and dynamic range. Whether you are composing or orchestrating for real or virtual instruments, the possibilities and limitations are roughly the same. The idea behind our Vienna Academy was to provide composers and arrangers not only with the most comprehensive store of virtual orchestral instruments but also with detailed information on what these instruments can do.
