i can hear that guitars and orchestral parts are not synchronized. maybe i am wrong but...

[@Ethersis]

Mendels Videos are always a pleasure to watch! Keep up the cooperation!

[@parabot2]

Would love to see how you layer up all the guitars and bass etc , how that process works .

[@ToniHennig]

Awesome....mendel best dude,please more.....

[@Peter-kj5nr]

Thanks Mendel - another great video and tutorial. Love the way this track is going - although I think a fantastic guitar sound without the strings and brass 🙂

[@pr4vus.studios]

Sounds great, love the overall sound!

[@ErixSamson]

It sounds great already!

[@gennarosicurezza5107]

[@Jamyz33]

Mendel to speak about Castlevania… I knew you’re a musician of taste 😄

[@stevenmccormackmusic]

Listen to Bear McCreary’s new album The Singularity. You will hear some really great melding of metal and orchestra.

What program is that on your iPad?

[@constantinranis]

How do you treat all those elements in the mix pan-wise ? Keep stereo tracks and let them in the middle or separate them in mono tracks and spread them in the mix?

[@victornoagbodji]

That was very interesting Mendel! Is that the Iconica Sketch orchestra that comes with Cubase?

[@procrasti-nation9517]

The "keep existing -notes" would this also work with programming key-switches to un-quantized material???

[@Noldy__]

Which app are you using to do the CC controls?

[@yuchimu]

Sounds like 6/8 rather than 3/4

[@234cheech]

no no no no
