Thanks for breaking this down how to do string runs. This is very helpful information. Peace and blessings to you and your family.

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!

Hey my pleasure. Thanks for checking it out!

@nlamottecomposer 2 года назад

Just what I needed! Was trying to figure out how to get the odd time runs programmed accurately! Thanks man!

@SohnCompositions 2 года назад

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.

@danyavilaoficial 3 года назад

My grain of salt….do runs of 5, 7 and 9 notes. That gives an irregularity resembling live playing , works for my A LOT

@grailgnosticism2342 2 года назад

Thanks, for non-pros, Runs libraries are pretty expensive.

@TonyChesh 2 года назад

Just wondering, what instrument do you use for Bass on this video?

@SohnCompositions 2 года назад

I believe this was from thr Hollywood Opus Strings

@allaboutbookbinding8339 Год назад

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!

@lightst33l Год назад

Ok, got it.....First you need detailed articulated sample library(like specifically sampled for runs) :)

@davec1 4 года назад

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

@SohnCompositions 4 года назад

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.

@cmsmcity2453 3 года назад

Hey just asking, what are some of the programs you use to get started in orchestral programming?

@SohnCompositions 3 года назад

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.

@lyricleson1335 3 года назад

Can anyone tell me if you can do this with Kontakt "Session strings Pro 2"?

@paddywackarts9523 2 года назад

- 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!

@SohnCompositions 2 года назад

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
