I'm back from the grave, but this time with something completely different.
First, I'd like to give my thanks to @jamesliamfigueroa and @pharozen, online friends that I asked for beginner's tips from on the night of the 13th, when I began my journey. With their support, I was able to start out with a great foundation (Pharozen was even kind enough to send me his entire library of audio effects, which unfortunately I did not get to use this time around, pepehands). Also, special shoutout to @KiddKat, who procured me a new DAW for this occasion (Studio One).
However, I think the MVP and heroine of this anime arc would be @Heosmin, who literally sat through hours upon hours of frantically messaging back and forth when I struggled through tech issues. Whether it was asking noob questions about Studio One or the functions of different VSTs, she was always (and I mean ALWAYS) unbelievably patient and sweet to me (although if I was any slower on the uptake, who knows if I could have made her crack lmfao?). Without her, I would have never known wtf a mod wheel was, or purging Kontakt instruments to save RAM, or anything among the laundry list of skills I learned from her; everyone needs a Heosmin figure in their lives like I do. This little aside of mine would not have ended nearly as successfully or quickly without her help in the first week. I am forever grateful to you and send you love from America, but in a platonic af sorta way 💕
Additionally, thank you @AlexMoukalaMusic for your reaction to this theme; I looped that shit every day that I worked on this and it made me laugh and put me into a positive mindset. Watching your work also made me not give up within the first few days, because I know I can (almost) always do more to improve.
Now that I feel qualified to give advice to my piano kouhais who might look to start orchestration like me, here are my 3 best tips from me to you:
1) You can't write strings (and sometimes choir and woodwinds) like you do piano. Okay, that's very clickbait-y, but it's true: making a violin section play chords like how the right hand plays uber-thicc chords on piano sounds like it makes sense, but DON'T DO THIS in ensemble setting. It sounds so gross and clustered, especially when everyone else starts to come in. Spread everything out among the treble and bass: violins will (usually) play the melody, violas play under that in harmony (or double up), and cellos/double bass will do the same dance, but rarely getting the melody. These four groups will cover just about any chord you want, but w i d e n e d. I cannot tell you how much I struggled with this concept, writing every string part ultra thicc, and when playing it back it sounded like compressed garbage. The exception is brass: brass LOVE those powerful clusters that punch through the entire ensemble (you'll see in this vid what I mean).
2) You can never have enough soul-rattling BASS TROMBONE. Let them go brr. Set those birds free.
3) You should always try doubling, tripling, or quadrupling up on parts in moments where you wanna S L A P. It's what gives this thicc sausage feel to every line. Bass trombone section can only carry you so hard, so let the bros in the horn section get you the extra muscle. You can also hear this effect in those scale runs that populate the piece: first, I used strings (or electric guitar the second time around), then strings, piccolo and flute reinforce it by playing the same thing in different ranges.
I struggled with various things during my time recreating this. These include:
a) Drumset. Man, I have 0 experience with writing parts for drumset. I had to leave out some parts, like the buildup from 0:29 to 0:35 because I had no idea how to recreate that sound from the original (it also sounds like there are electronic samples in there as well, which is absolutely out of my depth.
b) Choir. So finnicky. I was playing with two different choir VSTs and they were both so hard to control and mix. Also, sometimes with different renders they were tossing out the strangest, most random syllables, making me rerender to get a new set kekw. 1:06 shouts were still too weak imo
c) 1:17 random cymbal roll to cover the disgusting transition in dynamics that I couldn't get right. That opera singer VST is lit af tho! The only gripe I had was that when singing D5 to E5, the E5 was stupidly flat...but not in any other circumstance (F5 to E5, or E5 by itself: totally fine). I had to do two different tracks, with one dedicated to rearticulating the E.
Anyways, that's it. Byeee
Louis

YOOO THIS TURNED OUT SO GOOD! This is actually incredible for only 10 days of learning, I'm so looking forward to hear your future oechestral arrangements
OMG THE DESCRIPTION ABEJABABSMAB
AAHAHAHA I can't wait to listen to this tomorrow and say wtf is this dumpster fire
@@HayashiStudios Ahaha, that's one of the best feelings ever, makes you realize how far you've come!
WTF the description I unbelievably lit. You're a hero.
Aaand subscribed. You deserve a lot more views.
@@planetary-rendez-vous If you thought this was good, check out my newest vid lol
@@HayashiStudios Ha yes that was something. I wonder how you do that? Recording yourself multiple times. It looks like wizardry.
10 days is really insane for learning all of this great work!
Thanks bro! I really look up to you and your work btw 🙏🏽
I stand by one thing, and that is that changing up your content is one of the BEST things you can do, but takes the most HUMONGOUS balls. Because it will often not get nearly the same views. But give it some time and your enthusiasm for this will show on the numbers as well; I just feel it.
Now that's a hefty description you've got there xD I didn't know that about making chords for strings, interesting! There's something so inherently cool about combining old eerie church-choirs with modern electronic instruments. And holy mac n' cheese, with help or not, 10 days to do this is insane. Huge props!
Thanks love~
Impressive work, Louis! Nice to see you branch out and really immerse yourself in other ways of expressing your musical talent. The description was very beneficial and the end result really shows your passion. Keep it up!! 👏👏
Thank you so much!
Battle song is always cool and fun to arrange! Love how you try to arrange it into an orchestra cover ! Not to further mention that you only spend such a short time to learn it! Great job, Hayaya!
Thank you again!
I don't have much to say other than this sounds great. Those string build ups were something else.
Also, 10 days? you absolute madlad :pepexit:

wow this is awesome!! I really like it. Thank you.
It's good to try something new and fresh, and I especially like the orchestral voice.
Thanks man!

Glad you enjoyed it!
Seriously impressive. That description is just too wholesome. You even pushed the limits of the character limit to give some additional tips you learned along the way
Ahaha thanks!
Fantastic stuff, Louis! Was so ~epic~, and that bass truly was *thicc*. The strings part orchestration was 🤌, coming from a strings player myself 😉
If I ever start an orchestra, you're the first guy I'll come to for concertmaster ahahhaa
Holy crap Louis this is insane!! I love this theme its freaking amazing, i also looped it so much back when i found it lmao. Hope to see more of these in the future!!

So yeah, good job. Can't really write more rn but I just wanted to let you know that you did amazingly today
Good job!
(Also, you mentioned Pharozen's VSTs, you got them them through the "classic broken musician method" or just the classic way?)
Nono, if you read the description, he sent me audio samples (like, sound effects), not VSTs
