Hi everyone,
I've been working on a new template for a while, and I'm getting into mixing and setting up all routing soon. To me, this is quite a daunting task as I have a hard time trusting my own ears when it comes to mixing. I also want to do it in a "smart" way so I don't feel that the template limit me too much when I actually start to work with it. I was better at mixing back in the day, but have fallen off a bit lately as I haven't mixed as much the last couple of years, so I feel the need to get into it a bit more again.
So, I'm looking for educational content on how to approach the mixing of an orchestral template. There are quite a lot on youtube about this, and I've just watched a video which gave some insight, but was quite basic. Instead of watching through tons of videos I thought I might ask here, as I believe many of you know some of the most worthwhile content available. I'm not looking for any full classes in mixing, more video content or articles that give good insight and tips.
The foundation of my template consist of CineOrchestra (CineStrings, CineBrass (+sonore), CineWinds (+monster low winds), CinePerc, CineHarp). So I'm mainly looking to try to blend and mix my other libraries to the sound of these. If it helps, the other libraries that I'll mainly use in my template are:
-Chorus
-Omnisphere
-Anhology Strings
-Several percussion libraries like StrikeForce, StormDrum etc
-Several solo libraries such as Tina Guo Cello, 8Dio Deep Solo Violin/Viola, Fluffy Scoring Piano etc
Any advice on where to read/watch more about this process is greatly appreciated, as well as any tips you might have from your own experiences.
