goal

 ​​even more technical know-how

The objective of this project is to offer the widespread intuitive design of music even more technical know-how. The focus of the study is the evaluation of the workflow when working with virtual orchestral instruments. 

method

 ​​ proven and new ways

Through the collaboration of music-makers as well as manufacturers of software or sound libraries, the possibilities of combining composition and instrumentation techniques with the respective products should be investigated.

results

 ​​optimize your own workings

The results of this study are intended to reflect the own working methods and to make the differences in the workflow more transparent for music-makers.

summary

 ​​impact on practical work

Creative work does not have to follow a pre-designed plan. This discussion is also intended as a stimulus for manufacturers of software and software instruments to devote themselves even more intensively to this topic.
