Second part of the pair of videos where MIDI of a suite of pieces is turned into Voices that suit the material and Mixed, ready for the real world. This is an exercise I use with students when I feel it is needed to help them see the bigger picture (than obsession with technical detail). You may choose to dip into the final mix first if you want to know where we end up before seeing the journey there.
