Kurzbeschreibung
Since its initial release in 1997, Paul Gilreath's "The Guide to MIDI Orchestration" has been the premiere text on creating realistic emulations of a symphony orchestra using samplers and computer recording techniques. Now in its fourth edition, "The Guide to MIDI Orchestration" explains how to merge this ever-expanding technology with the artistry of orchestration to produce the most lifelike recordings possible. The book is written for composers, arrangers, and MIDI musicians of all levels, and will be helpful to game composers, film and television composers, traditional orchestral composers, teachers, instructors, and the serious hobbyist. Highlights of the book include: introduction to and overview of the orchestra; in-depth discussions of each orchestral section; detailed information on each instrument's timbre, range and uses; discussions of orchestration techniques; demonstrations on how to build an orchestration from the ground up; presentations on techniques for achieving balance and musical interest; setup and recommendations for software and equipment; details on setting up a multi-computer network for use as slave computers; overview of software sampler and Digital Audio Workstation software; presentation of note entry methods; DAW and sampler template implementation; detailed steps for achieving realistic reverberation and instrument placement; start to finish steps to achieve a final mix; and, insightful interviews with top mastering engineers. Visit website for updates and enhanced content including PDFs of orchestral library reviews and additional written content, audio files of musical examples from the book, video demonstrations, and much more.

The Authoritative Guide
21. Oktober 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
There are two kinds of people who would most benefit from this book--composers who are professionals in Midi orchestration and teachers specializing in this subject. For novices, I offer this quote from the book, "It is no secret among those who arrange for both real and MIDI orchestra that it is far easier and less time-consuming to arrange for a real orchestra. In MIDI orchestration, you have to do twice the work."
The book breaks down the chapters by instrument classification (string, woodwind, etc.) then into later chapters of "Sequencing Techniques" by classification (for string, woodwind, etc.) It follows with mixing, creating mood, effects plug-ins, and so on to "achieve the goal of creating realistic reproduction of a symphony orchestra sound using samplers and computer recording techniques"--all this, by way of combining technical skills with musical artistry.
A specialized book, but I will say that the information on orchestral music and instruments/instrumentation in general made for interesting reading/review for the non-specialist. If you are "just" a serious hobbyist, I think this could also be an essential reference book, and probably would encourage "expanding the boundaries" of what you do/know/are comfortable with--always a good thing.
Oh, and the website referenced here, on this Amazon review page, works just fine.

Excellent Resource For MIDI Users
22. November 2010
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
"The Guide to MIDI Orchestration" by Paul Gilreath starts with a great overview of the industry's use of MIDI and the virtual orchestra.
Chapter 1: Good explanation of the importance of listening skills, and how to listen objectively to
orchestras. The composer mini-bios are convenient for quick reference.
Chapters 2-6: Good explanation of the importance of listening skills, and how to listen objectively to
orchestras. The composer mini-bios are convenient for quick reference.
Chapter 7: Some helpful things from this chapter include: the elements of orchestral composition,
instrument chord voicing, and instrument pairing suggestions.
Chapter 8-9: An excellent overview of the technology required to write music in the virtual domain.
This is a complete guide for anyone wishing to set up a studio.
Chapters 10-15: These chapters are filled with tips and tricks to make virtual instruments sound more
realistic. Every virtual instrument composer should have access to this information.
Chapters 16-18: More valuable information on hall ambience, effects plug-ins, and technology tricks.
Chapters 19-23: The mixing and mastering process is clearly outlined in these chapters. How to
achieve a more realistic sound is once again addressed, but from the perspective of
mood, as it relates to tempo and timbre.
I would suggest this book to anyone wishing to write music in the virtual domain. It is
an excellent resource for all aspects of composition. A good foundation is laid with the
history and function of the orchestra, as well as the influence of key composers in the
style. This book is packed with essential information on the technology and art of
writing electronic music.
Special thanks to Samuel Joshua, film composer.

good electronic composing book
3. Januar 2011
Format:Gebundene Ausgabe|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
This is a well written guide to composing music, especially orchestral music, using virtual (digitally sampled) instruments in a computer environment.
It has a good introduction and guide to orchestras and orchestral music, with much information on composing and use of instruments, fully 6 chapters worth.
Chapter 8 begins the discussion of software, and the author's information is quite good, although destined to obsolete quickly. He covers the current "top" packages for this arena, such as:
MachFive, Halion, EXS 24, Kontakt, Sonar, ProTools, Digital Performer, Nuendo, and Logic Pro. Many plugins and related software are also covered.
The book is quite thorough in approaching composing for an in-computer orchestra. The vital parts of composing in general are also covered.
He also gives a small plug to Mackie mixers (I have also used and love the venerable 1604).
The only downside I can name is a fault of Focal Press and its method of handling web sites connected with their books - I hate having to register and create a complicated account just to get the extras which are supposed to come with purchasing the book. this is an outdated marketing tactic which wears thin in this day and age.
If I was going to compose for an orchestra, especially a virtual one, I would study this book carefully.
