Hi Paolo,

“54 years old dummy?” - Music and music production is just the thing that will keep your brain in best shape, well into the future. They say, physical exercise is an important ingredient.

I have used two books:

1. Acoustic and midi orchestration for the contemporary composer.
Andrea Pejrolo and Richard DeRosa.

2. The Guide to Midi Orchestration.
Paul Gilreath

It depends on your aim. To get a good midi track for just a guitar, Sherry’s method is best.
If you want to create orchestral sound tracks, the above books could give you a start. No doubt you would agree, that training your ear to musical but also general acoustic events, is important.


Best wishes,

Herbert
