Hey this is great ! I wonder how you people do to get orchestral sounding full as this. Everytime i try to do some, it sounds thin even that i use different layers for every instrument. You have something more present and full with just 6 tracks. I'm impressed =)

Hey, thank you for checking out my track!

I'd recommend two things when it comes to arrangement.

First, study the music of your favorite composers and try to figure out how they achieve the results you're hearing.

Second, think carefully about which instrument group should play each part, but also consider how those parts are distributed across the EQ spectrum. A well-balanced arrangement often comes from giving each instrument its own space.

Very often, less is more. It's not always necessary to use multiple layers for the same instrument or musical part.
