In this educational pack I break "Maiden Voyage of the Intrepid", an adventurous piece that I composed as a demo for Orchestral Tools' Beaufort Brass library.
This MIDI Study Pack serves as an hands-on orchestration and composition lesson, and provides a robust foundation for becoming familiar with Beaufort Brass or writing with brass in general.
This MIDI Study Pack comes packed in .zip format and contains the following files:
.mid - This is a MIDI file, which can be opened in any DAW or notation program (although opening it in a DAW like Cubase or Logic is recommended).
.cpr - There is one Cubase 11 project files: The only reason to use the .cpr over the MIDI is so you can see the additional volume automation I am doing in Cubase, and to see how I am using FX.
.wav - This is the final, mixed version of the piece for your listening reference.
.wav stems - In the event that you want to recreate the piece with your own libraries, you might find listening to these stems useful for reference reasons.
.pdf - Readme and Study Guide
The attached PDF doubles as a readme for information on how to use these files as well as notes that turn this study experience into a guided composition/orchestration lesson complete with assignments and recommended exercises of your own.
