As a studio one user, I've gone the route of building track presets with disabled plugins = Basically mini templates (they can contain how many tracks & plugins you want). I can then drag'n drop and mix and match them how I want, and they'll have the instruments loaded up with basic buses. You can make them very complicated too if you want to, but I'm still figuring things out. That being said, I do have traditional templates for the symphony orchestras too. Combining these both approaches makes the approach pretty fast and flexible.
Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together! I downloaded it yesterday and can’t wait to use it. If I may ask, how do you handle the different negative track delays per articulation?
Thank you! Honestly, I approached this template without overcomplicating. So if I find I need to focus on the track delay, I’ll either adjust the note itself or I’ll duplicate the track and adjust the negative track delay from there!
@ Thanks so much for your response! Absolutely loving the template :) What I’ve opted to do here is give every Channel 1 Region select a -60 ms delay, since that seems to be in the ballpark for Cinesamples shorts, then for the legatos, doing an additional 10 ms nudge to the left 9 times in the midi itself, since it seems their legatos are fairly uniform at -150 ms. This seems to be working well for me. Can’t wait to test drive this template further, thanks so much again!
@@RobertRodriguezMusic yes I didn't know about using kontakt/musio as one instruments over multiple channels so I went on an ableton tutorial adventure :p
Great video! One question: Why separate reverb buses for each instrument group? Each instrument already has it's own Sends, which can be adjusted as necessary. Why not send everything to a single pair of long/short reverbs?
Good question! You definitely don't have to create separate reverb busses per group the way I did and you'll find it much easier to route the reverb to single full mix stem or a full thru track and call it a day! But I tend to separate because I like being able to control the sound of the reverb per group on a macro level (in addition to the individual sends.) This also allows me to capture the reverb of each instrument group in my STEMs!
@@benedictstock6539 Thank you! I turned off all the instrument tracks so really it doesn’t take up much RAM at all. But when I turned on EVERY instrument, it looks like roughly 6-8GB. I would only turn on the tracks you’re using and leave the rest turned off!
Hi Robert, I have downloaded your template and your instructions say to move the Musio Articulation Sets folder to Your Mac Username -> Music -> Audio Music Apps ->Articulation Settings. However, there is no such folder for me in Audio Music Apps. I'm a bit technically challenged, perhaps you can help? The folders I have under Audio Music Apps are Channel Strip Settings, Custom Icons, Databases, Key Commands, Patches, Plug-In Settings, Project Templates, Sampler Instruments, Temp. Do I create the folder myself, or move it somewhere else?
@@Feirin332 Hey there! That’s actually very interesting to hear. I’ve always assumed that folder was there (I figure this stuff out as I go) but perhaps it only shows up once you create your Articulation Set in Logic. That said, I would try creating that folder with that exact name “Articulation Settings” and adding my folder there, so that Logic knows where to look. Alternatively, you could try creating and saving your own articulation set as a test and see if the folder gets created when you go to save!
Is this template mixed whit reverb and everything? i having problem whit doing that so this would be amazing if you had that on this template, I noticed that you didnt add the english horn and bass clarinet i always have those in my template. I dont own the spaces 2 reverb from eastwest is it possible to just replace whit the reverb im choosing or will that mess things up?
@@KevinrosenOfficial It’s not necessarily mixed or balanced but I set it up so that it has routing for reverb and stem printing! Plus any extra instruments can always be added in with the preset blank instrument tracks!
@@RobertRodriguezMusic Thats amazing, Thanks for taking time to answer my question🙏 I assume that if i wanna add lets say an english horn for the woodwinds i just add it or will it mess up?
@ Shouldn’t be a problem! Each group has a blank track that’s already routed to its appropriate section! So you’d just duplicate that track and add in whatever instrument fits the group (ie. English Horn under Winds)

Glad you finally made this video Robert! 🎉
I’m so glad I finally made it!

I had searched ableton orchestral template and this came up and I got excited and downloaded it. Realised it was for another daw XD
Oh noo!! Hopefully some of the same principles can at least apply for Ableton!

@ Thats amazing im goona try it out tommorow, Is it possible to change reverb if i dont own the one you used?
@ No problem! I actually changed the reverb to the Logic stock Chromaverb but you can always change it to whatever works for you
