      @oconnorproductions9598 4 месяца назад

      Hey thanks for checking out the video. Those orange wave files were a group I usually label "FX". It usually consists of trailer esque sounds like woosh hits, booms, risers, downers, etc. They can really help elevate the percussion when stacked together! I have so many of these files from different sample packs and virtual instruments. I usually just sort through them all until I find something that I'm looking for.

    How many measure/seconds are normal for each act?

    • @oconnorproductions9598
      @oconnorproductions9598 6 месяцев назад

      I'd try not to get hung up on how many seconds/measures for each act. I'd say most of the time the intro is the shortest of the 3 acts but it depends on what the publisher or client is looking for. Most trailer tracks probably range from like 2 minutes to 3:30. Start listening to trailer music on youtube and just take some mental notes of roughly how long each act seems to be. Thanks for watching!

    sub folders! Strings - strings high - strings high short Strings - strings high - strings high long Strings - strings low - strings low short Strings - strings low - strings low long So for example - "strings low LONG" will be routed to "strings low" , and that will be routed to "strings" ... then that will be routed to "orchestral" then that will be routed to 'Stereo out" The more detail the better! I have 3042 instruments in my template - there's sub folders in sub folders, in sub folders - colour coded and routed my parent folders are: 1.Horror FX 2.Sci-fi fx 3.Hits (includes downers, braams etc) 4.Drums 5.Transitions 6.Sound design (mainly synths, pulses, but also pads and atmospheres) 7.Orchestral Sections 8.Guitars I don't mind sharing this because It took me a long time and MANY hours to figure out what my parent folders should be - then sub folder from there!

      I haven't worked on trap trailer music before but generally this structure applies to most genres I've worked on. It depends what publishers are looking for but writing with this 3 act structure would pronably be a good starting point at least.

    Hello, there. Nice walkthrough. I stumbled across your channel a few days ago and I don't know if you take requests but I'd love if you can perhaps make a trailer track from scratch tutorial series for beginners like myself. I am personally struggling to make trailer music as I don't know how. I've attended/watched several courses and tutorials but I can't get all the information gathered online inside my brain. So, yeah I thought I'd ask here.

      Hey I appreciate the request. It is something I'm hoping to do. I'm hoping to make a full course at some point. If you're struggling I would try pulling up a song you like then creating a song similar using the instruments in the song. It helps to imitate other people's songs so you better understand what goes into making the songs. Hopefully that helps, thanks for checking out the video.

      @oconnorproductions9598 Год назад

      I will normally consider Eqing based on how the mix is sounding. If I feel like parts of the percussion are getting in the way then I will EQ things out to clean things up. I generally don't EQ for the Sake of EQing.

    Thanks for this! I am an inspiring songwriter/composer. I have no desire to be a sound designer, but I am beginning to believe that "rolling your own" is sometimes easier than spending nine years searching through myriad sound libraries and patches for the exactly right sound. Thanks to tutorials like this one, I am building up toolkit of techniques. I can see that a good use of my time would be to learn effects plugins like the ones you mention. I also plan to dive deep into a few synthesizer plugins, such as Arturia Pigments. Again, thanks.

    @topijokinen Год назад

    I think that if you double the same patch, you end up making it just louder not thicker. At least if it triggers the same samples. What I would try is to tune the other instrument up a couple of semitonds and transpose the midi down respectively. That way it would be slightly different and probably would work better. But havent tried this myself, I usually just layer different instruments but maybe have to try 😀

    • @oconnorproductions9598
      @oconnorproductions9598 Год назад

      Hey! Thanks for the comment. Maybe I should have gone more in detail but yes, ideally you're using different patches and doubling but if you use the exact same instrument and mess around with it you can get some awesome results. You can add different reberbs, add distortion, change the panning, volume, mic position, etc. I just want to encourage people to try new things!

      Hey! thank you so much for checking out the video and subscribing. I've never actually played Elden Ring but I just checked out some of the music to see if I have any recommendations. Jaeger is a really great library so I think you're on the right track using it. I find its more aggressive than nucleus is but nucleus is more diverse because it comes with some solo instruments and some woodwinds. If you're looking for other products, I would check out metropolis ark 1. Its a very epic, huge sounding library that would lend itself well to the Elden ring style music. I'm sure someone has done a really good breakdown of the sounds on RUclips. I would also consider Performance Samples' Oceania. Its a choir library and it has a similar vibe to the choirs used in Elden Ring.
