Recreating the sound of a symphony orchestra using only a sequencer and orchestral sample libraries presents a great challenge to the contemporary composer and digital musician. BMI Film/TV composer and instructor for UCLA Extension’s Film Scoring Program, Fletcher Beasley, presented an evening of insights designed to help working composers improve their orchestral renditions. The event was held on Thursday, November 20, 2014, at the BMI Los Angeles office. Topics included getting greater expressiveness from MIDI instruments, creating depth with reverb, adding live instruments to the mix and maximizing computer power.
