Classic orchestral sound design can be tricky to pull off. Here are some tips to create classic orchestral sounds for lofi hip hop.
For lofi hip hop and RnB producers, the classy sound of orchestral loops can be hard to come by, especially if you want to avoid the pains of copyright claims pulling down your music.
This is why I stick to learning basic orchestration techniques and utilizing string libraries.
Spitfire LABS is an incredible free library that I find most producers simply don’t know about.
In this video, I cover how I utilize Spitfire LABS free libraries, and some basic music theory, to craft a cool lofi orchestral loop for a typical lofi hip hop style track.
There are so many free resources out there to use to make better lofi hip hop beats.
In this tutorial, I use free drum samples from Beach Roads’ Lofi Meditations Demo Pack, and I also have a free Ableton Live preset for getting a perfect, grainy lofi texture to really fool your listeners into thinking your orchestra came straight from a dusty vinyl source. Have fun.
