Online Course: GARRITAN INTERACTIVE PRINCIPLES OF ORCHESTRATION by Rimsky-Korsakov

[ZareOne]

I suppose this has been asked already, but I think it would be REALLY good to have a MIDI Orchestration course from DPDan. He is the master of GPO. I have Paul Gilreath's Guide to MIDI Orchestration, and it's a good book, but I think that when GPOA is released, maybe we could have a DPDan's course of sequencing/orchestration/mastering via GPOA. I don't except it for free, of course, but could be an addon to GPOA for a fair price. I would be the first to buy it.

Hi Gary,

YES, YES, YES, YES!

I have to say that the actual first example I listened to out of the Sheherazade sounded great! I'm very impressed.

Bring it on!!!

And hey, it looks like we get a little sneak hearing into GPOA! Well, even better!

regards,

Steve.

I would like to know what you think of this idea. Would you be interested in participating as a learner?

I would abandon on sleep for participating!

hi!
it's some time that i don't write to this board but i constantly reading it...
this idea is wonderful... i only hope that it will be possible to download the entire course (maybe in a zip... and maybe only for registered GPO users?) because i will not have the possibily to follow the lessons online...
it will be a great chance for me to learn something... and i necessitate it (to learn!!! :-)
thanks (again!) :-)

Hi Gary,

This is a wonderful idea. And having the samples as MIDI files that can be used with GPO is a wonderful tool for learning orchestration AND GPO.

And you offer it for free ? That's what I call actual customer support !!!

One thing I noticed is:

The remaining chapters dealing with Voices are planned as we progress on our choir library.

So you are really going to produce it ? That's really great too.

The only drawback is that I am now jealous of your dual-core atomic energized hyperthreaded brain
