Finding the right sample libraries for your template is one of the most important parts of template building.
This is why I have decided to start a new Template Reviews section, which will give you overviews of products that I personally use and vouch for. Reviews focus on how to integrate these sample libraries into your templates and also talk a lot about their general usage.

The first such review is for Cinematic Studio Strings, a great ensemble string library by the creators of Cinematic Strings 2!
Head over to the Resources section to read the full review!

Renowned course and music degree provider Thinkspace Education have published a course about the basics of template building, called "Template in a Weekend".
For the course content, creator Guy Michelmore took the time to host a quite exhaustive interview with me about all things templates. Audio snippets from that very nice interview are interspersed with the course text and it is a great source of information!
Check it out and of course if after working through the course you have any questions or want some guidance, you know where to find me!
