How I build my Cubase template for orchestral composers

An orchestral Cubase template for film and trailer composers — built from scratch, so every new session starts ready to write instead of ready to fight your routing. In this video I walk you through how I build a clean orchestral Cubase template: split view, tempo and signature tracks, color-coded folders for strings, brass, woodwinds, and percussion, empty Kontakt instances on instrument tracks (not multi-timbral racks), group channels per section, locked mixer zones, default plugins on every bus, and visibility tweaks so the arrangement window stays focused on the music. You can download my finished template inside the free Audio Artist Academy. Link below.
