ORCHESTRATION
WORKSHOP

From Muffled To Massive

If you find yourself discouraged by muffled, weak, thin or flat sounding orchestrations and mockups, you are not alone.

Learning how to create monumental walls of sound can seem like a near impossible task, especially when faced with a multitude of decisions and factors ranging from the arrangement, to the sample libraries, instrument choice, mixing, mastering, and so on.

But what if I told you that in 9/10 scenarios, the reason your orchestration isn’t sounding as massive as you’d like is due to just three key problem areas?

And that as soon as you fix these areas, you can consistently turn around a weak, muffled and confusing arrangement into a brilliant, grandiose wall of sound?

In this intensive workshop, Evenant’s Co-Founder Arn Andersson will take you through timeless principles that will consistently help you improve your arrangements of any style and instrumentation.

You will start by learning about fundamental properties of sound and human hearing, and why this is so important to know about. We will continue by uncovering three of the biggest reasons any orchestration is going to sound bland and muddy, and exactly how we can fix it.

Finally, we will take a sub-par orchestration and turn it around into a balanced, powerful orchestral statement, step by step and show you how to implement all the principles into your own work.

“From Muffled To Massive” is a 4+ hour recorded workshop helping you take your tracks to a new level by learning timeless arranging principles that work for any style and genre of music, and dramatically improving your productions.

Here’s the workshop outline:

Sound and Human Hearing
In this introductory part, we will go through some timeless principles that form the foundation of all arrangement, chords, and mixes. We will discuss how these principles dictate which chord voicings work and not, how we should structure our arrangements, how to properly double and layer instruments for a grandiose sound, and the biggest issues we might face when doing so.
The 3 Killers Of A Big Orchestration
In this main part of the workshop, we will go through the three biggest killers of a majestic, clear and powerful orchestration. You will learn about big mistakes that are easy to make, how we can avoid them, and learn about versatile techniques and principles to keep in mind in order to write effective chord progressions and orchestrations. When you get these 3 things right, it is hard not to end up with a clear, balanced, and powerful arrangement – but as soon as one of them are neglected, things tend to collapse easily. In this section you will learn how to identify and rectify any of these issues, in any track, any time.

Step By Step: From Muffled To Massive Orchestration
In the final part of the workshop, we will apply everything we have learned to an actual orchestration that has a lot of problems in it, and show you how to fix it step by step. We will go from a muffled and chaotic arrangement, to a balanced, powerful, and massive orchestration in the end – all in realtime while you are able to ask questions.
