How do you write an effective string arrangement straight into your DAW? Its something most composers have wrestled with at one time or another. Today composer Guy Michelmore shows you his approach and gives you the first in a series of Top Tips on String Writing. Today he is working in Logic Pro X 10.7 but this approach would work in any DAW.

You cannot believe how reassuring this video has been. I thought I was the only one who spent interminable hours tweaking and changing and redoing pieces until eventually I have to leave them for a while as I exhaust my ideas. But, to see someone, such as yourself, doing the same, has given me 'permission' to keep on doing what I do. Thank you :)

just want to say thank you, out of 90 % of online tutorials, the instructors never have fluffed lines, bum notes, discordant entries, and you showed the entire process warts and all, it makes me feel human, and to see how you solve those problems, is far better than a slick super polished" how amazing am I as a YouTuber !" type of videos. I have been at an impasse on a string arrangement for weeks, frustrating myself, then you had the same problem and it suddenly made sense, thank you, and keep it up.

14:20 suddenly having no sound makes me appreciate your gestures much more. Love you man, looking forward to part 2

I'm so relieved to see grot and dust all over your equipment Guy, unlike some of those channels with antiseptic clinical looking setups that would never appear in real life. It's like the comfort of the 'used future' in Star Wars. 😊

For us non-writers on bits of paper, this was invaluable and validating. This approach is my new 'go to', thanks.

Interesting video, I love to watch you composing. It's always challenging to write a string arrangement. I can't wait for part two!

Great video! The piece you came up with reminded me of Ralphn Vaughn Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis", one of my favorite pieces. Thanks for the continuing inspiration, Guy!

Hey Guy, I just sub'd and did so for one reason... you're a blast to watch! Actually for more than one reason - I also find a actually learn good and useful stuff when I do give you a listen. Thanks for keeping it fun and interesting. Wish you all the best. I'm sure my music will and writing will be all the better for it. Stay healthy and musical my friend.

To add to deserved appreciation dump for this channel. You’ve inspired me so much since I found you. I’m most likely going to sign up to your course. I was wondering if you’d ever considered diving in to the Reason stand-alone plug-in. Reason gets a lot of stick in forums and it’s quite often justified due to work flow issues and being a little slow off the mark among competitors. But one thing they often get a lot of praise for is their instruments/synths. So I’d love to see you do some hybrid stuff with their stuff. Been using Reason for so long that the thought of relearning a new DAW fills me with dread although I do think in the long run it probably makes sense

You were absolutely correct when you were saying people were going to be wondering why you didn't just save a bunch of time and work it out in Dorico, so I am glad you acknowledged this at the end of the video! However, what I would love to see is a video demonstrating the back and forth between Dorico and the DAW for refinement.

Thanks so much for sharing your workflow!!! 👌🏼 I've been thinking I'm the only one who's recording and working out particular parts over and over again 😅 really appreciate you share what didn't work as well!
