Thanks for the comment - glad the videos are helpful 🙂

My pleasure

Happy to hear it!

Welcome!

Glad you enjoyed!

That’s a great idea 🤘 Will put something togethet

@@jonasfriedman look forward to it!

Hmmm not sure I understand what you’re running into because in my experience cubase has much more flexibility regarding routing and stems. What I do is create my group tracks. Then - the outputs of my FX go to those groups (as do the individual tracks) so for example cellos will have low string FX send and all of that is routed to a low strings buss. VCAs are just like a volume knob that controls a collection of tracks - these are not related to my groups (ie stem busses) instead - I simply route the individual instruments to the appropriate vca for extra volume control. Example - all cellos and bass strings connect to a lo strings Vca - however again the vca is not connected to the final group track or process of printing stems. When I go to print stems I simply highlight my group tracks and then in the export menu choose to sync selection with what is to be exported - if I remember correctly I do go over this in a bit more detail in my course since it comes with both my cubase and logic template - but I hope this may help to clarify! Btw - once you work out the kinks I think you’ll be very happy with the switch to cubase - I find it MUCH more enjoyable and efficient to work with personally

@@jonasfriedman I see where I went wrong. I grouped the instruments and put effects on the groups rather than the instruments having a send to an FX track then routing both to the "group/bus" for the stem. Thanks!

@jaredlane9961 awesome happy I was able to help!

@@jonasfriedman It worked! Thank you!

@jaredlane9961 awesome! 🤘

Ha! Great example preparing the music for the medium it will be experienced in, thanks for sharing and for the kind words about the videos

@@jonasfriedmanAlways

Thanks for all of the kind words and happy to know the videos have been helpful! Super cool you’ve met mark - have worked with him for about 10 years. Thanks for watching, excited to bring you more videos shortly 😀

You're welcome!-

Really glad to know it’s been helpful. New videos coming soon!

You’re probably right these are not things I noticed due to my personal set up

🤘

It’s your music your future I believe : yourmusicyourfuture.com

Thats great thank you

Agreed!

You are so welcome!

No problem

Rent to own would be a great addition to these businesses - cool idea

Any time!

My pleasure

No problem 😊

Your welcome!

I actually wasn’t aware there was a limit - I haven’t run into it yet and it’s possible for the reason you mentioned - I don’t need ALL fxs for all groups - for example I don’t use delay on my short strings or my boomers stems or my accents- so maybe I’m just about to hit the threshold but hadn’t noticed yet 😅

@@jonasfriedman gotcha, makes plenty of sense. I was testing this STEM/FX layout today (Cubase Pro 13), and hit the wall so I was just wondering if that was the case. Thank you! You’re very generous with your very valuable time here, but I don’t want to be greedy so I’ll lay off a bit on all the questions. I can’t afford consulting fees. Haha!

@brianlhguntercomposer lol … so I actually use nuendo most of the time. Maybe it has more effects capability? I honestly don’t know. Feel free to ask whatever questions I’ll always answer when and whatever I can.

That’s awesome! There’s actually a new flutes library by emergence audio coming out that takes a more modern approach to woodwinds - really dope

@@jonasfriedman that’s great to hear! I’m now on kind of a kick with anything sub “concert” winds. So bass flute, bass and contra clarinets, etc…the less obvious choices. Great mystery vibes! Can be a little “noir-stalgic”(TM), but it’s a fun vibe. Cheers!

@brianlhguntercomposer ya that’s a really cool sound to work with! Love it

I just make sure my master buss at its absolute loudest point does go over 3db - I don’t worry about it after that tbh

I have a video on here demonstrating my template and also will be releasing a video at some point I had to set one up from scratch

@@jonasfriedman that'll ve wonderful. Thank you! Also, is VE Pro worth it on the same system... does it improve performance?

@djdavis844 - are you asking where to meet directors, producers or showrunners? Or where to meet other composers? In regards to meeting other composers there’s a lot you can cold email. I’d personally recommend taking it a couple steps further - if you see someone is going to be speaking at an event go to the event. Strike up a conversation. Look for any mutual connection you may have as this often makes it a million times easier to break the ice. If you want to skip working for other composers and meet filmmakers and showrunners I’d suggest getting equally serious about becoming a content creator - you have to make amazing work as a composer and then find a creative way to put it out to the world so that you can attract people to you rather than you chasing them down. It’s not easy but you have to have something to show people that grabs their attention. I was fortunate to get additional music credits on tv shows or movies people recognized and that made it easier to make introductions. Without that you have to point people to your own content imho

Absolutely, I’ve made more than that for the past 8 years. My ascap royalties alone pass the 100k mark. I’m not saying this to sound impressive but just impress upon people it’s absolutely possible.

@@jonasfriedman I’m asking seriously, just to sort out some thinking about the idea of pursuing a career in media composing etc. P.S. I’m glad that it worked out for you 👍

@flattire totally! Everyone I know and talk to that works in this industry has had a different path to get to that financial point and they have different results from their efforts. For me personally it that took a long time to build up to that income - figure 10 years but I got lucky with the ASCAP royalties which are harder to pull off today as cable tv and the format of 22 episodes a season is decreasing - however that may change again in the future who knows. Bottom line it’s very possible but takes a lot of work …which can be fun if u love music!

Thanks! That’s a good point - I’ll make a list of people Ive used and other resources

I am a huge cubase cheerleader - if you’re starting from scratch with either I’d highly recommend cubase. Many phenomenal composers use logic and at the end of the day you can make great music in either. However I feel Cubase has extra features that impact efficiency and organization which I really love.

@@jonasfriedman Thanks Man!! I love Ableton Live for work flow but sadly it is not very popular in the Film Scoring Community.

Thank! I don’t anymore…was there for about 5 years but most of my meetings and sessions went remote post Covid

Thanks - hope it’s helpful

Happy to know it’s helpful!

@@jonasfriedman Absolutely! I just got a major TV gig so I binged all your content and it's all very helpful,

A long time ago when I was very young and first learning to record myself - I was like 12 years old - the music store guy sold me on nuendo - it’s now obvious it was because it was more expensive (bigger commission)😅 since then the upgrades have always just been cheap so I’ve stayed with it but I also have cubase and it does everything a conposer needs .. that said now working on a game nuendo has some cool integrations to Wwise but for composing work cubase does everything nuendo does other than that

@@jonasfriedmanHaha love it. And if I’m not wrong Dolby Atmos. I did a chatGPT to compare cause I’m a nerd and founds a TON of really cool fx and dialogue stuff that syncs even afrer edited heavily in nuendo. As we plan to create animations from scratch with all the VFXs, VOs and music as well this is the first time I will go back from Studio 1 to Nuendo and Cubase. The midi editing is simple great

Thanks! Are you referring to my absence from YT?

@@jonasfriedmanoh, no no thought about the software that perhaps was upgraded since the video. Seem to have potential for a lot. Just found you a month ago and really enjoy your content and talent!

Ahh well thanks for the kind words! No major changes that I’ve come across …yet!

Sure thing! Trying to prep new video right now

🤘
