In this video, I break down how to structure a traditional orchestra template the right way - from woodwinds and brass to percussion, choir, and strings - following real conductor score order.

You’ll learn standard orchestral track layout, accepted section colours (with hex/RGB guidance for Reaper), divisi string setup, and how to organise your template so any composer can instantly understand your session. Perfect for film composers, media composers, and anyone building an orchestral template in Reaper or any DAW.

Standard(ish) track colours used in orchestral templates (or, at least very good starting points):

Woodwinds (Blue)
Hex 21618C
Darker option 1E8449
Reaper RGB: 33, 97, 140
