In this video, we’re at Qube Studios exploring how to inject emotion into any genre using just one technique: adding strings.
Using Excite Audio's Bloom Ensemble Strings, we take three completely different styles — hip hop, bass music, and pop — and show how string layers can transform a track.
From rhythmic string chops in hip hop, to gritty, textured strings in bass music, and finally lush cinematic layers in pop, this walkthrough demonstrates how to build expressive parts using samples, sequencing, and creative modulation.
Along the way, we explore:
• Creating melodic and rhythmic string sequences
• Using key detection and sample layering
• Adding movement with modulation, velocity, and probability
• Shaping tone with drive, reverb, stereo width, and FX
• Turning simple loops into full, emotional arrangements
Whether you're producing beats, electronic music, or pop, this video shows how to use strings to add depth, energy, and emotion to your mixes.
Perfect for music producers, composers, and sound designers looking to level up their arrangements.
