I've been wanting to have another a crack at the whole 'lets build a template' thing and develop my orchestration and programming... and lo and behold, AKD has a series of superb template vids! Golddust! Now I have a shiny new base template and I'm working through AKD's first LOTR vid, alt tabbing between reaper and youtube and learning SO MUCH.
The simplicity yet perfection of those twin CC and expression curves on the arpeggio phrase were a true lightbulb moment for me. There's a similar sound in one of the vista demos that has always eluded me - now I think I know how to achieve it.
Also the approach of setting up negative track delay* + write in the notes and just straight up quantise that sh1t OMFG - goes against everything I thought was true, but then I listen to the sound hahah - this is powerful stuff! But also the WHY of it - the simplicity of moving stuff around (and - whisper it - copying to other instruments! oh wow!) when you do it this way. The layering across libraries. The speed of working. DAMN! Yes - you still need ebb and flow, and rubato (like this) but that comes from the tempo mapping....
Anyways thank you AKD for sharing your knowledge and experience so freely!
* then I remembered the negative track delay spreadsheet (link) that David Kudell started
