As a sound designer for shows like Bridgerton and Stranger Things, I love that Jonas talks about working with the sound fx and around them and not getting in the way of them but rather looking at the bigger story and how all the elements work together. Sound fx editors have no choice but to cut to picture so if we see a gun, we cut a gun and it's great when a composer can take that into consideration and work around it so the elements can all breathe together. Sadly, I've worked on many shows where the composer hits all the same big sound fx moments like explosions and then on the mix stage it becomes a big mess of clashing sounds.
Thanks so much for sharing this comment - it’s so great for other people in this community to hear and see input from others working on these types of projects ESPECIALLY from departments that are so important and intertwined with the overall audio experience. 🤘
I love that he shows the VIs with and without EQ, or compression, or later by layer. It’s very useful that way.
Really happy to hear you’ve found that helpful! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment
This is seriously my new favorite channel! Superb content and production quality!
Happy to hear! Thanks so much
Wow! This may have been the fastest I've ever hit the Subscribe button. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure Drew, I appreciate you subscribing and checking out the video!
This is was really good, so useful to see the production techniques in use. I shared this video and your channel on VI-Control forum as I felt it was that useful to those trying to use modern production in their compositions.
Thanks Mark! really appreciate you checking it out and sharing
Brilliant level of detail. Thank you for providing this content.
My pleasure!
Love your videos because you always reference samples and plugins I actually have lol.
Awesome!
Thank you for making this video. Bro Please Make More Videos ❤☺️
Thanks Saimax Studios - appreciate you checking it out :) More on the way!
On - off illustrations are superb!
Thanks!
I wanted to stop in and say thank you for your series of videos. I am an older composer who composes for local independent films for fun. I wish this resource had been available 30 years ago when myself and everyone else had to rely on what books we could find ;) So thank you!!!
Really appreciate your comment here - it’s my pleasure and I thank you for checking out the channel
I just discovered your channel a few days ago. Really good stuff. Thanks for posting! 👍🏽
Awesome, thank you!
The syncopation really does help the pacing! Great point
Its all intertwined! Thank you for this video
Glad you enjoyed it!
Cool, some of my shorts also have a solo instrument at the end of the layer ;) great difference. So you can even tweak only the edge of the sound if you want, without losing the body
Awesome thanks for sharing that tip!
@@jonasfriedmansure, you are welcome!
Thank you
This sounds fantastic on my system, with a nice open dynamic sound unlike many others I have heard on YT. Just found your channel, great job on all this ... thanks for sharing your knowledge, and detailing your production process showing how it can make a huge difference after the right mix of processing is added to the tracks.
My pleasure @VidWorx ! I’m really happy to hear you’ve found the video helpful and appreciate you taking the time to leave a comment.
Great presentation! Nice to see native Steinberg plugins being used in conjunction with 3rd party plugins. There are A LOT of great tools in the channel strip 👍
Thanks! I appreciate you checking out the video - totally agree, there are so many great tools built into the strip 🤘
WOW. This channel came out of nowhere with GREAT content, and I'm glad that you're sharing it with us. I've hoping to see more high-quality videos from accomplished media composers like yourself. I'm going to share this with my community Jonas, keep up the great work.
Thanks @M Kirby Music . So glad you are enjoying the videos and find them helpful. Lots more on the way - appreciate the share as well!
Agree!
Thanks so much for this Jonas!!!! This is Gold. What library are you using for the sticks and claps?
Hey Eduardo, so happy to hear this video was helpful! I’m using Drum Fury for the sticks and a library from Big Fish Audio called SMACK for the claps
Mr. Friedman, stellar teaching. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge. I was curious if you would share the episode number of Walker Independence, so that I might study the scene after gaining this insight. Also, I am curious if you might take a deeper dive, in a future video, on your methodology of layering different libraries. e.g. balancing, tips for "gluing" them together, common combinations that you find yourself returning to because they work. Again, we are very grateful that you've decided to share your skillsets. Cheers.
it's my pleasure @leemichaelvacaro ! This scene was from episode 3 - big wagon chase towards the end of the episode.
Yes I absolutely plan to do a deeper dive in future videos with the things you're asking about, stay tuned!
Nice video... good thoughts to share. BTW, it's "complement." :^)
Lol thanks @robshrock-shirakbari1862 - glad you enjoyed the video, where did you the see the spelling error? There’s so much that goes into these I’ve accepted there will eventually be something that slips - maybe I’ll start a reward system where if someone finds a mistake they get a prize :) keep me on my toes
this cue is so sick man!
Really appreciate it @doty6string
Really insightful video , huge fan already subscribed ,
Keep posting kickass stuff and make amazing music
youre an inspiration
Thank you for all of the kind words Anand. So glad you found the video insightful, appreciate you checking it out!
Thanks, going to subscribe to your channel. I’m learning how to score, mainly from RUclips and wherever I can. Can’t go to schools, but I’ll watch your other videos. What screen monitor are you using?
They’re old aoc 30 inch monitors (possibly larger I don’t recall) but they’re nothing special tbh
Just found your channel and it’s excellent. I would love to see a video of how you build a template as no one seems to cover this topic. I’m relatively new to Cubase and composing and tend to start from scratch each time.
@Steve S, this is a great suggestion - I will make something like this. I used to start from scratch as well until I discovered just how powerful a template can be. IMHO the right template can be so helpful creatively because when you’re not bogged down with the constant tech stuff - you can just freely write and enjoy the process more. Stay tuned - I will put something together 🙂
Such great content Jonas! Hardly any composers ever talk about the production side of things, especially in such detail, even though it's an essential part of film scoring! Thank you 🙏 Quick question! Is there a reason beyond preference for using Nuendo over Cubase, are there benefits for you specifically in regards to film scoring?
Thanks so much! That’s exactly why I made this channel, the production side is of equal importance to the writing for film scores IMHO. Great question regarding sequencer - the truth is someone sold me on Nuendo when I was very very young, probably cause they got a higher commission lol and ever since it was juster cheaper to keep upgrading then getting cubase. That said nuendo has some cool features I’ve been using recently when scoring for games that allow me to link directly with Wwise which is helpful. Also, when conforming to picture I have the ability to add multiple video tracks in nuendo (so I can have multiple versions of the picture as it changes in a single session) other than that it’s pretty much exactly the same as cubase.
@@jonasfriedman ah nice, I have been seeing Nuendo a lot in immersive audio applications so I was curious if you dabble in that field. It's great that it works directly with wWise. Looking forward to your next video, thank you again for sharing your great work!
Interesting but you can't really compare with/without fx chain unless the comparison is gain matched.
Cool suggestion, I’ll try this in other videos to make the demonstration more clear. Thanks for checking it out!
Question:
You have the moog bass, cellos and drums all competing for the same low end frequency space.
Additionally, using EQ, you've boosted the low end on the 60's drums and the moog. bass.
With all this competition for the same space, do you do anything to keep your mix from sounding muddy and achieve the overall clarity present in your mix.
Great question! Yes when I eq these instruments I specifically carve out parts of the low end I want to keep or toss - when doing the soundtrack mix i will compress the low end further and often times thin out elements since that is intended for a different listening experience…a scene like this needed a lot of power and adrenaline- so the power in the low end worked really well but there’s also the mids in the guitars and high end percussion to fill out the spectrum.
@@jonasfriedman Thanks.
Thank you
Your welcome!
