My Massive Orchestral Template 6.0 (2024) - Mix Overhaul and New Samples

[@nickbulavin]

Maaan, beyond the educational value, this composition is outstanding. Good orchestration and programming makes all the difference for a cleaner and clearer sound

You should do these right before Black Friday!

[@alleyway3215]

That's a great idea.

[@5ammy13]

Haha lol yeah... Never thought about that but hell yeah...

[@mosstet]

agreed

[@pumodi]

In case you hadn't looked it up by now, Microshift is a replica of Micro Pitch Shifting alogrithms from the Eventide H3000. As with most of the Soundtoys plugins it's very close to the Eventide hardware as the devs used to develop for it. Mode 1 is program #231, Mode 2 is #519, and Mode 3 is technically modelled after the DMX 15-80. Long and short of it, shifts pitch of the input material at a very small interval AND continously adjusts it. Can definitely achieve a chorus effect but it's technically a pitch shifter.

Man, i am grateful for you! Need more content for this type of "Hybrid Orchestral". All this time i am searching for content like this and now i found it! Thank you sir

[@ClaudeRuelleMusic]

Best thumbnail ever! Love this template, it's getting better and better

[@MattiaChiappa]

Ahah thanks mate!

[@minder01]

Its certainly a more studio sound than prior but I don’t think it’s thinner. The beef is there just much tighter.

[@alleyway3215]

I'm glad you decided not to skip this video. I've been looking forward to your 2024 template vid. While there are many who share their mockups online, yours remain some of the best. For that reason, I'm always interested to know what you've been using. The fact that your template has not changed much speaks volumes regarding which libraries have carved a reliable slot for you. I also want to emphasize it's not just your tools, as I sympathize with your tenacity for growing your inner ear. Great stuff and happy holidays!

[@LeDrummerDu88]

3:15 hell yeaaah the return of the GOAT !! 🐐🐐🐐

[@rafaelhernandez5550]

Yes this is what I did I got your course and just in the first two lesson. I will give my feedback. This is the best money that anyone that want to learn how to properly orchestrate could spend. no matter how many great library when can have if I don`t know how to put it on practice. Thank you for all the good education that you and Master the Score provide to us. Look very spensive but in reality the value of all this courses is way more than what we pay. I own now 4 courses the only I need is time. Thanks

[@MattiaChiappa]

Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying it

[@rafaelhernandez5550]

Hi Mattia Thank you very much again.

[@RicoDerks]

Very cool too see again! Less and less gets updated, which is a GOOD thing!😊

[@MattiaChiappa]

Thank Rico!

[@RicoDerks]

Just listened on proper headphones, jeeezz sound amazing! ​@@MattiaChiappa

[@kamaluchika6656]

Good to see you again

[@elchabonification]

Woow Mattia nice work! The song its amazing also

[@davidmagnus]

Great stuff! Thank you for sharing all these insights! I find it always inspirational to see how you are constantly striving to trim your template to the very essential tools only! Something that is kinda rare nowadays with all the overwhelming options on the market; the discipline to focus

[@raymondspagnuolo8222]

Beautiful tune and arrangement. And I liked the mix. Thanks for this video.

[@g.p616]

Thanks for the Vid, the tradition continues👍🎄

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

Also thanks for making these videos, I always pick up a new idea from each of these template showcases

[@robshrock-shirakbari1862]

I always look forward to this video as the year winds down. 😎

[@PeterTMusic]

Woo!! Been waiting for this my friend 😁

[@LeDrummerDu88]

40:35 very "Mandalorian" type of vibes !! :')

[@BillyPalmerMusic]

OK the use of microshift on those strings sounds amazing - I'm sold

[@mbishop]

Thanks for the EQ and reverb screenshots. That's really helpful because I can still use those settings, even on similar, but not identical reverbs (looking at you Number Seven).

[@dop_96]

Bellissima orchestrazione, complimenti!

[@troy1190]

Big up for erhu

[@vinibarbosa6157]

Excellent video! Could you go over how you're creating those various folders with tracks within them?

[@elchabonification]

Bro you're thumbnails are getting better

[@mosstet]

God damn ! The Cinematic Solo Strings sounded so good I nearly bought it immediately, then realised I missed the discount by 1 day and changed my mind.. Definitely my next purchase though.

[@rossquaresmini5834]

Spettacolo assolutamente ❤🎉

[@anthonyworthydaretodreammu2451]

Cubase version?

What do you use for solo strings that you want as soloists?

[@MattiaChiappa]

Cinematic studio solo strings

[@robshrock-shirakbari1862]

@@MattiaChiappa The vibrato on that one annoys me... but I use it occasionally.

[@rafaelbassvieira]

Hi Mattia, great video! Maybe you could help me out. I’m creating my own templates for film scoring in Pro Tools, and the way I’m doing it is by adding almost all my orchestral virtual instruments, synths, drums-basically every instrument I use for film scoring-into the template, organized in folders. All the tracks are inactive, and I use a shortcut to activate an instrument track whenever I need it. The problem is that my .ptx session file is 300MB, and every auto-backup file is also 300MB, so my backup folder fills up really fast. Is there any way to make the session file smaller? I know there are a lot of tracks (about 500), but I’ve seen Spitfire’s templates, and they seem much lighter than mine. I hope I explained that clearly! If you have any advice, that would be amazing, but no worries if you can’t. Keep up the great work! Thanks.

[@MattiaChiappa]

Yeah, I don’t think there’s an easy solution. My template is about the same size. The only thing I can think of is reducing the number of backups in the your preferences.

[@rafaelbassvieira]

@@MattiaChiappa Thanks for the answer. I imagined that was the case. Just wanted to check if I was missing something.

[@scottfoster3643]

A+

[@alexandremeier5114]

Help, does someone have a Mix template using Equator for orchestral instruments ?

[@mosstet]

Which breath controller are you using, Mattia? Is it the TEControl Midi 2? I haven't finished the video yet, but just incase you don't mention...

[@MattiaChiappa]

Yeah I use TEControl

[@robshrock-shirakbari1862]

I'd love to see a bit under the hood.... your computer spec, how you have your Logic buffers set, Kontakt settings to optimize resources, etc. I have an M1 Studio Max with 64 GB RAM... and I can still tax my CPU easily on bigger arrangements. Would love some real-world insight into resource management for your size template. Cheers...

[@MattiaChiappa]

I have a MacBook M1 Max. The buffer goes up and down. Make sure to purge samples in kontakt, and disable tracks you don’t use, that helps a lot.

[@robshrock-shirakbari1862]

@@MattiaChiappa Thx for response. Yes, doing all that, of course, and also running most sample libs from SSD. Curious about other things, like if you're reducing the Max voice count in each Kontakt instance to something more reasonable (they oftentimes default to 1000 voices!); any tweaks to the Kontakt options like KMS on/off, preload buffer size, etc.; Logic processing threads and buffer range settings, etc. Is that something you can elaborate on? I still can choke my machine at times on bigger sessions. I do mix professionally, as well; so my template is pretty elaborate on both the MIDI side and the audio mixing side. I do find that Logic doesn't seem to like too many unnecessary levels of bus routings... I've been trying to simplify how many sub busses there are before hitting the master. But stemming for Atmos is another layer to navigate downstream from the basic MIDI and audio tracks in addition to the various Groups and submix levels. Every little 5% improvement in CPU efficiency helps. Cheers

[@MattiaChiappa]

Mmm no I don’t mess with kontakt, other than purging samples. Same with Logic, all I do is raise the buffer size when start getting clicks and pops. Sounds like you’re doing all you can

[@musical_lolu4811]

Does it ever end?

[@PeterTMusic]

hopefully not lol

[@LQNL-t6c]

开头部分的demo疑似有点中国风了😃

[@bulentkamali]

Mate, I have spent about 2000 euros now you are saying that don't buy libs buy my course. Where have you been? :)))

[@ASX2001]

GREAT composition, Mattia! Hollywood will steal You from us. 🥲
