- Today, I want to go over how to produce a convincing string run for an orchestral mockup. I'll demonstrate with a track I've written and will show you the basic rundown of writing one up from scratch.

Thanks for breaking this down how to do string runs. This is very helpful information. Peace and blessings to you and your family.
Yeah my pleasure, glad it helps.
This.
Is.
AWESOME.
Thank you Robert. Glad you like it and hope it helps!
@@SohnCompositions Oh yes, it helped me big time. I was going to go ahead and buy some pro, pre recorded runs for both strings and woods but you showed me how to build my own. This led to me digging deeper into my libraries for run-ready samples and discovering a wealth of capability and effects I didn’t know I owned. You saved me money, led me to better understand my workstation and improved my musicianship. Bravo, and thank you!
Great tutorial! Thank you for sharing!
Hey my pleasure. Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks man, you're a genius. Your videos help me loads.
Glad to have helped!
Just what I needed! Was trying to figure out how to get the odd time runs programmed accurately! Thanks man!
Hey Nathan, glad to have helped! There's also a way to set up a custom grid in Cubase in case you'd like make it more streamlined. You should be able to make a grid that fits 7 notes to a bar or other odd numbers.
@@SohnCompositions Thanks man! I'll have to check that out.
Exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
Bro I didn’t even know EW had slur runs until now - this helps a TON!
Excellent tutorial! Thank you!
Thanks Zahari. Glad its useful to you.
thankyou so much its very useful to me
This is so good, thank you!
Yeah, you bet!
Great tutorial, thanks a lot :)
Thanks Jack! Hope it's useful for you.
Excellent
"SIZING APPLIES TIME STRETCH!!" OMG WHAAAT!???!?
Youre a saint
My grain of salt….do runs of 5, 7 and 9 notes. That gives an irregularity resembling live playing , works for my A LOT
How about adding another violin and pitchbending it randomly - but way sharp. Always adds realism for me. Perhaps I'm just hiring the wrong orchestra!
8:37 - Looks like a roller coaster
Thanks, for non-pros, Runs libraries are pretty expensive.
Ok, got it.....First you need detailed articulated sample library(like specifically sampled for runs) :)
Do basses actually do runs, is that a thing? I know this sort of instrument (bass, tuba etc.) has a tendency to get underestimated, but still it seems a bit counter-intuitive
Yeah it depends on the tempo and context I guess. I've heard fast runs exchanging voices from high to low (from violins to viola to cello to bass) in concerts which is a cool effect. So it is possible but much more difficult to pull off. I'm sure bass and tubas players wouldn't like that so much.
3rd movement of Beethoven's 5th.
Just wondering, what instrument do you use for Bass on this video?
I believe this was from thr Hollywood Opus Strings
Hey just asking, what are some of the programs you use to get started in orchestral programming?
Hello, there are about a handful of big players that have solid orchestral libraries. The ones that come to mind are Cinesamples, Spitfire Audio, East West (soundsonline.com), Orchestral Tools, 8dio, Cinematic Studio Strings/Brass/Woodwinds and Symphobia. All of them are great and worth checking out. I'd say take a look at each of them with their demos to hear them for yourself.
Can anyone tell me if you can do this with Kontakt "Session strings Pro 2"?
2:21 Let me ask you something, mate. Isn't this supposed to be synthesised or recorded?
- I love what you're doing here - But - . My Hollywood Strings Slur Runs don't slur! Just updated - so I have latest. The player looks exactly the same but... there doesn't seem to be any slurring!
Hmm that's strange. Sometimes it won't work or acts buggy if you too fast or if it's not quantized/evenly performed. I'm sorry that it's not working
contrabass would never play that fast in an orchestra
Runs: what a bad and old fashion effect. It makes the hole thing sounds like the same.
Please, just show it. If you just show it, without talking, we get it better
