no problem, i uploaded a quickly made dark ambience with some hit etc. first the dry version with no reverb = dry then the wet version with a DARK PLATE on send and all 3 instruments routed to it, i would wonder myself when i would add not some low BRASS part + strings from symphobie if they would clash with the DARK PLATE reverb or not.
What you are saying is not making any sense.
Real instruments should sound like they sound, you are not supposed to adjust real instrument to some effect or synth, but to do the opposite.
What you are asking is like asking will someone's vocal will clash with your guitar sound.
So, you recorded your guitar and you recorded someone singing and you have frequencies clashing with each other and instead of EQ-ing guitar you EQ vocals. Then, people hear there's something terrible going on with vocals, but you are like:"Bro, but hear my guitar".
Who gives a shit about your guitar....
Same thing is with orchestral libraries and real instruments in general if you are doing something hybrid,
mixing orchestral sound library with synths.
Your real instruments should sound right FIRST and then you jerk off with synths and effects.
That's why it doesn't make any sense to create something with synth and then ask will orchestra will blend with it because you don't cripple the real instrument in favor of synth or effect.
If you use bad reverb on strings, people will notice it and nobody will care about your synth sound or effect, that trash reverb on those strings will just caught their attention and keep molesting their ears throughout the track, the same way badly EQ-ed vocals in favor of guitar would molest someone's ears.
Everyone is familiar with orchestral sound, those instruments exist for hundreds of years and there is a "standard" how the whole thing should sound and it sounds the way it sounds because you have 100 people on stage playing instruments and those 100 people need space and you need big space to place all of them and of course that you need to apply ambience, reverb so that the whole thing sounds natural.
But, let's ignore that, let's cripple the sound of entire orchestra in favor of synth with reverb on it.
Even better, let's choose which orchestral library to buy based on that.
Dude, you are not making any sense.
