Clear explanations/useful tips This will be bookmarked so that I can get back to it when I hit a wall

Hi :) You might have noticed, that the Arrangermode has influence on what your pattern plays. Voice 2 only works with Arrangermodes that utilize exactly two notes (Like Lowest 2, Lowest + Octave, ...). What it does is, that it allows you to write different melodic progressions for each of the two. Which of the two notes is the starting point for each voice can be seen on the left side of the editor, as there are no notenames, but something like "Lowest" or "Lower Middle" :)

Very good tutorial. Examples are clear, explanations are enough but not too much. Congratz and thanks.

This video will the invaluable to me since I just purchased HO today. It’s already saved for re-watching and now i want to thank you for making it!

This is amazing Nathan! I didn’t know most of this, so it has been a real eye opener. Thank you!

Great work Nathan! Thanks for pointing me here through vi-control’s private message.

Hello Nathan, I just got Opus because it was monthly payments (on sale). Wanting to learn orchestration and this and got Opus to hear what orchestrating sounds like. You break things down and it’s Exciting. Please get back. Thanks again.

Thanks man.

THANKS + QUESTION + HINT Thank you for your very well done videos, both the topics, the content and the pace while still pointing out important details that are easy to miss and thus can cause frustration. Just wow, very easy to follow! QUESTION: I'm using v1.4.2 and when playing the HO in standalone mode I have a problem that only "half" of the notes in a range has a sound(!). This means that I can't play smooth melodies, especially not in the lower range like you do in your video. Using for example Elves World 04 in the range C2-C3 simply doesn't work because not all notes have any sound (except for the black keys but one and only two white keys at most). Strange.... In the DAW it works though. How can this be? Shouldn't all notes be there? HINT: When samples are missing, Orchestrator popup window listing the missing fiels, tends to get locked so that the Cloud-icon & Download button simply doesn't respond. Workaround: Close the popupdialog and go to the main meny (the breadcrumb, not the cogg wheel) and select "Check missing files...". The same popup dialog is displayed again, but not the UI is not "locked" and unresponsive. Notice that one must always select/load the desired preset before the "Check missing files..." menu option works, which means that IF tghere are missing samples, you will have this popupdialog "in your face" two times. This can be a little bit annoying when many files are missing after a new installation.

thank yo!

My question is, why can't I get that realistic effect just using Philharmonik normally. Why does the orchestrator sound so much more realistic and full of "feeling"? What are they doing differently when they sequence?

Very The tip at 6.00 was throwing me. I could not get the Stepper to work what a sneaky place to hide the ON button! in another window! Great tips thank you

How are you,,,,,my Orchestrator is not showing anything and I installed the hollywood opus brass but is not showing anything

I'm guessing you already figured this out, but to get voice 2 to work, you have to select two voices like "Lowest + Top". You also cannot use a legato patch. Unrelated, if you are having some of the "ghost notes" (notes that are too short or the wrong notes) when you use the new export feature to export the midi to your daw, a fix is to raise the track delay a bit.

Thank you Nathan, very informative video and saved a lot of frustration. One question though; DO I HAVE TO DRAW NOTES IN THE EDITOR OF ORCHESTRATOR BY PENCIL TOOL, OR CAN I PLAY THEM VIA MIDI KEYBOARD AS WELL?

Thanks

HI ...Hollywood orchestra (STRINGS, woodw, perc, brass, solo violin, solo cello, arp) can be installed STANDALONE?

I have armed the sections, and when I go to play a chord to start of the Orchestrator, nothing happens. when I unarm the particular track I can play the instrument as normal.. please help 😭

Thanks Mr.Nathan While playing the Opus Hollywood Orchestrator, some instruments continue to play to itself. It's like I'm pressing the keys. Where do you think there could be a mistake?

I can Buy it for very good Price actually, how is the Quality of the Samples? it worth?

I'm lost on how to even use the presets

OMG, you did NOT just put a Super Mario inflection on "pencil" at 11:26. I wouldn't have noticed if you didn't say "chelly" right before.

#vii? Lol sry that's as far as I got so far.

Very confusing software to be honest.
