Let's talk about something that's necessary to write Orchestral Music like the Pros: layering.
Be it layering different instruments, different articulations or even different libraries together, this is a fundamental skill to understand in order to achieve the full sound you often hear in Triple-A Games & Film scores from people like Hans Zimmer, Ramin Djawadi & more.
In this example we'll talk about it from the perspective of a certain brass section in my latest original composition.
