There is some great music with orchestra and band and a lot of shitty music with that combination. The success doesn't seem to be much of a question of genre, when I think of Snarky Puppy or Nightwish (which is kind of a semi-cringy guilty pleasure for me, but nonethless the cheese factor, the orchestrations work with the band, while some of it is just a "keys/synth substite" orchestration), which I think to both a pretty good job. The Snarky Puppy is a bit dearer to my heart, because the band and orchestration seems to more intertwined then just putting orchestra on a band (which is something a lot of metal/prog acts are guilty of).
Well anyway, any tips on how to bring these two worlds together, orchestration and mixing wise? Some instruments that shouldn't play too deep like Contrabass? Or should I make some radical cuts in some section, so everything gets space? I actully just wanna coperate just an electric guitar into the mix, but I feel like even choosing with type of amp (sim) is pretty crucial to it working out sonicly.
I feel like both type of ensembles are very rich sounding on their own usally so natuarlly it's hard making space for both of them.
Well any tips would be appreciated as well as examples of Bands/artists, that pulled it of well.
