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).
-
.cprs - There are two Cubase 11 project files: one with plugins and one with NO sample plugins in the event that you have trouble loading the project due to missing or incompatible plugins (as a few users have experienced). 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 (minimal) 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.
