Dis is what I was gonna say wrote:Woodwinds - versatile; they can play sweet melodies and shrill textures, or have little flourishes during another section's part. While they can add some supporting bass, they aren't too SOLIDLY bassy, and thus you might think twice about having your woodwinds do the bassline. Woodwinds can be played very quickly, allowing for interesting runs and builds.

That should help you along your way!
Learn those tiny details and implement them in your own way into your music! Implement those concepts and develop yourself to become not only a better score writer, but a better musician in general!Dr_Dissonance wrote:If you want to delve deeper, feel free, but you’ll get more from the bigger picture than the tiny details.
O_o I've struggled in the past with balancing everything. I've never thought of trying this before. Best advice I've heard all day! Thank you.Dr_Dissonance wrote:With a single chord.

Like, don't place a violin note on D5 and a flute note on D5 at the same time. I think that might result in disaster, but I could be wrong. It may limit you since you might have 3 melodies playing on 3 different instruments, which might be hard to get to sound right, but that's what orchestral is. Hard to compose.
Anyways, what I said may not have been 100% correct, but I'm sure somebody will correct me if they find something wrong with it
