I'll second that...just looking at Omnisphere alone, assuming recipes built from just 4 patches, and ignoring how the patches are played, there would be 7,231,131,670,395,720 possible combinations just from the stock presets. The vast majority of those combinations would never, ever have been heard by any human being (and never likely to). So a little guidance would be helpful :) • That number above? Seven quadrillion, two hundred thirty one trillion, one hundred third one billion, six hundred seventy million, three hundred ninety five thousand, seven hundred and twenty. So trying them all is not an option...

Oliver, it's much appreciated - lots more coming (although it does take me a while to cook each new Volume). Volume 4 is well underway at the moment.

Good week all round then Dave - you've discovered a new orchestration resource, I've just discovered a podcast :)

NashMusic, you're very welcome...lots more coming :)

Hi Danny - really glad the recipes are proving useful for you. At the moment these three Volumes are the only orchestration/composition related tutorials I've done, but there's lots more coming. Otherwise, you can look me up at Amazon.com, have been writing books on music for decades, but they're focused on practicing/pedagogy/piano.

@@orchestrationrecipes Thank-you, I am currently working my way through secrets of orchestration, as well as online school. The books are great but the amount I learn from your course in a quick succession, as well as the inspiration I take away. My thirst for knowledge from your content is unmatched. Recipe 3 was a whole other level explaining how music works in the mot simple terms no rubbish, just do this and it works please give me more 😊.... Any one who is thinking of buying but unsure, BUY IT NOW!

He was only using it as an illustration in the video to explain the situation of many people diving into orchestration. I don't think he intends to sell a template. In his recipes, he specifies that you can now start composing with whatever libraries you possess. A template would be created for a specific library only, which goes against his teaching concept, and he'd need to provide it for multiple DAWs. I prefer he spends his time on creating new educational content. You can buy templates from other companies and people on the web.
