Orchestral Template and Signal Routing

Hi folks, 
just came away from Archie's latest tutorial on getting started scoring with a template. His approach gives you the main ideas on how to start out with a more "barebone" one, while mine is a little more sophisticated, I think. As I have hopefully progressed in my learning since the @TheCueTube started during the apex of the pandemic, I meant to optimize my templates to compensate for the very limited processing power of my otherwise appreciated little machine. So I kept modifying my approach and present you with what I used for a template with the latest two entries for the @TheCueTube 's Halloween freebie and @Martin's and Chris' #halloweenhangover  challenge. (P.S. I had somewhat forgotten about sidechain compression or "ducking" when dialog sets in, so this is something I added after revisiting a tutorial on that particular task and added it to my templates, the idea being that there is a mild reduction in volume for all the music every time that spoken dialog sets in)

As I've also updated my operating system and installed new versions of DAW and OBS – the video recording software – all on a vintage machine....– I must watch available resources even more rigidly. I hope, this template approach will deliver on those counts and considerations as well as get me more productive.

Anyway, I'm going to link the relevant related videos below. Also, bear with me for the scrolling subtitle, which was supposed to be for the library walkthrough for Martin's and Chris' #halloweenhangover entry.

If so inclined, let me know in the comments, whether this approach makes sense to you, too, or what other ideas you might have in order to get started and become more productive in scoring to picture quickly.

Thanks to my new subscribers, I appreciate you! I hope that I can resume a more regular routine in doing these and eventually also live stream.
