It’s inexpensive anyway but free if you’re prepared to sign up and wait two weeks. If you want a more capable library with separate string instruments, a third‑party option I can recommend is Spitfire Audio’s BBC Discover. It includes eight articulations, and while it’s an ensemble patch (all strings at once, rather than in separate instruments) it’s good enough for the examples that follow. Still, the Large Strings VX preset in the Halion Sonic SE Pro soundbank that comes with Cubase Pro is very usable. There’s lots of ground to cover, so I’ll cover this subject in two tutorials, Part 1 this month and Part 2 next.Ĭubase includes some impressive virtual instruments, but multi‑articulation (performance‑style) orchestral sounds are thin on the ground. Dave Stewart’s four‑part Arranging For Strings (part 1: ) and nine‑part The Sampled Orchestra (part 1: ) are great places to start learning, but in the meantime Cubase offers some tools that can help you get ideas down quickly. Cubase Pro’s Large Strings VX is a usable ensemble patch, but plenty of good‑quality alternatives offer more flexibility, including Spitfire Audio’s free BBC Discover library.Ĭubase can help you write and arrange realistic string parts.Ĭredible string arrangements can add a real touch of class to your productions. To pull off this ‘string fakery’ trick, you’ll need a set of multi‑articulation strings sounds.
