Cheesy String end here

Get the most out of your orchestral sounds. The fact is that the best orchestral production doesn’t start with great sounds. Great sounds won’t help poor programming. We are here to teach you the skills you need to make your brass sections splat, your percussion thunder, and your strings produce goosebumps.

Nathan is one of the great few teachers that care. As a graduate of a prestigious music school, I was whisked through a massive amount of knowledge, with many teachers.
