This week on the CMS podcast: your online presence: tips and tricks, platforms, and social media-- how do you do it? Schedule it? Be like Curtis and almost completely ignore it? Answers to these questions and more. We also list our picks of the podcast and talk about the Native Instruments registration controversy. How important an online presence is to getting work in the field Native Instruments: https://support.native-instruments.com/hc/en-us/articles/360006053397?mNl=1&utm_campaign=Service+Center+End+of+Life+%28non-service+center%29&utm_medium=email&utm_source=scm&uuh=3e4b8bb90d02352033ac360f9c70db44 After May 31, it will no longer be possible to register a number of discontinued products such as Guitar Rig versions 1-2, Battery 1 and 2, and Komplete 2-4.

It's been awhile since I've shared my latest Orchestra Template, I've decided to take the time and share it with everyone. I've made a lot of changes this year, first one is I'm using Logic Pro X, next I've simplified my template to be simplistic in nature. I did not want to have too many tracks/articulations. I wanted to focus on creating music and not worry what sample I should be using. I hope you enjoy this walkthrough, and please let me know down in the comments if you have a question or would like to see anything in a separate video, that I did not cover.
