In a 16 minutes‘ summary we now know what a great musician, composer, recording and mixing engineer Nathan is. My honest respect, chapeau, congratulations! Incredible video! I’m overwhelmed!
Just have to chime in here. I've been following you through your journey ever since we were sitting next to each other at graduation/testing your audio trimming class and it's so cool to watch you improve at your skills not only in composition, but also production, editing, marketing, teaching... all while growing your family which has it's own separate unique and difficult but rewarding problems. I remember talking with you and, even then, you had this dream. It's really great to see things coming into fruition. Keep that drive man. You're doing amazing things!
Sat here for a while thinking of how to put this in words. The amount of emotion this drew out of me was way unexpected - up to the point of actual tears. Thank you for taking us along this journey. Can't overstate our much of an inspiration this is to me. Thank you for showing how to respond to criticism. God bless you Nathan
I have been a passive member of your audience for a while now (I watch your videos but have never commented or interacted with your videos). This. Was. Unreal. Can you say goosebumps? That time and effort that you spent creating this was so incredibly worth it. Way to go, man.
Wow thank you. So meaningful. That is EXACTLY what I was hoping this would do. Cannot wait for the future - 2024 videos are gonna be all somewhat like this style - showing the process and telling stories. Maybe working on full blown orchestral scoring?? I dunno... maybe 😉
I remember a little boy qho loved to play the piano. I've been following you for about a year now and I say bravo Nathan 🎉🎉🎉. God has Blessed you in so many ways and I'm so pleased for you. Don't give up on spreading your God given talent with others. ❤
Amazing Nathan…can’t wait to hear everything to come. We love you man. Not only are you talented and an amazing teacher, but you are the kind of man we would all want as a brother or a friend! Bravo pour tout!
Yep... I'm really tired of the music content that make it seem like art can be whipped up like a Happy Meal Cheeseburger. Really want to show how much effort goes into what I'm trying to create!
I've been producing instrumentals for the greater part of the last 20 years. I'm 40 years old. I also was winning talent shows playing classical piano songs as early as 5th grade. I received standing ovations from everyone in attendance at that time and I was only 10 years old. With that said, I've spent most of my life creating new music. Even with all that said, I follow your channel and have learned all kinds of stuff from you. To even bother listening to the trolls in the comments is 100% not worth. You are the reason I'm sad that I never decided to get into college to further expand on my knowledge of making music. I've been making music for much longer than you have and yet you're so much more advanced than me and it's because you actually got help along the way. I've been completely self taught. In fact, RUclips wasn't even a thing back when I struggled through learning about DAWS, and learning theory, mixing etc. These days everything anyone wants to know is on RUclips. A new producer can pass my skills within 2 years if they stay dedicated to watching Tutorials on RUclips etc. It took me 20 years to learn what newer producers are grasping within 2 years of making music! It's awesome to see but makes me sad that these tools weren't around during my early years. I wonder where I'd be at right now if I was 20 years old and just starting to make music today.
Nathan has been in my pocket for years, I recognized how talented he was immediately, and appreciated the videos he put out. Now that I’ve finally reached a point in my life where I’m going to start taking this seriously, I can honestly say his channel is more valuable than anything I could ever ask for ! Thank you Nathan ! You are amazing !
Chris here (Jeremy Sutherland’s writing partner): Nathan, this is stunning. How fulfilling to be able to achieve something at this high level. You’re the best!
Lovely work Nathan! There is always people that gonna hate and you tackled it the best way possible. You're really talented and I learned a lot from your videos. So thank you from Sweden and keep up the lovely work!
Oh MY! I enjoyed the ride - but was not expecting the depth of emotion brought on at the end. Well done. Once again: Inspirational. Heartfelt. Gratitude. Blessing.
That was inspiring! I don’t know who said your music sucked, but I have seen many of your videos, and I think you are talented and a great teacher. Thank you!
You have turned the song into a haunting melody with amazing chord changes.. It's a beautiful orchestral powerful sound with a great singer too. This may sound strange to some but normaly the song has never inspired me, but I have to admit this arrangement made me sit up and want to listen. It's the best version Ive ever heard. I love the way you think outside the box and are true to yourself with music. By the way, the label design gives the music credit. Subscribed.
Hallo Nathan Patrik here from Zürich Switzerland student from you. amazing what you did whit this song. the stings and the gospel are so good and the whole arrangement is top. i bought the song and i hope other follow me an buy the song as well to support you. Over the years i learnd so much from you and im very greatfull for that, Thank you hope you find time to listen t my stuff wha i did over the years
Such amazing work that everyone put into this song and Saylor's voice is so incredible!! I love it!! You're songs and vids are always top notch!! Keep making great content my dude!! Thanks for sharing!! Much ❤️ Nathan!!
You really challenged yourself! It is not easy to justify doing yet another cover version of something so covered… but you succeeded gloriously! Loved this video and made me cry. ❤ Btw, I subtitled in Finnish the great documentary on this song. Strongly recommend to watch it, I don’t know on which platform it might be in the US.
Hey Nathan, very inspiring video, top to bottom. Composing, recording, editing and mixing all of this is such a big job and you did amazing. Keep up with the good content ! Will go and listen again to the song now. Cheers
Seeing Nathan say that he learned a lot shows, how he teaches us techniques and gives us tips but also learns himself. This inspired me, as always. PHENOMENAL work Nathan.
I DID learn a lot - I made several "mistakes" but ultimately that is what happens when you are working - everyone makes mistakes and realizes "Oh I could've done XYZ thing differently" On the strings, for example - what I was meaning when I said I learned a lot - I actually positioned my stereo pair mic setup too high that it hardly captured any cello which was a huge problem in the overall balance of things. But - no one is gonna "know that" when they listen. So it's just one of those things you tuck away for next time and move along! Keep going!
I doesn't suck, but as a listener it doesn't really grab the ear. Feel like if you mixed it up with the volume articulation within sections it would help. You have one section that stays peaking at around the same db level for the whole part. Then the quieter part that is suddenly quieter and stays at around that same DB. Then it goes back to the original db area. Just kind of boring in my opinion. Like maybe have it slower in the beginning and only have like the cellos in there, then when the big part hits, it feels more impactful.
A nivel composición es excelente! A nivel de mezcla por momentos siento que las cosas suenan separadas y no juntas como deberían. Igualmente es un trabajo realmente bien hecho! Felicitaciones!!
Absolutely brilliant. I just image a full orchestra with a powerful 4-horn counterline, trumpet accents at climactic points, some high woodwind runs and string ostinatos. But then this would enter Thomas Bergersons realms. 😉
Beautiful my brother, a true work of art. God never lets His own down as long as we put the work in. Well done man. It is my dream also to have live instruments and choirs behind me too, there is only so much that you can do with samples.
@@NathanJamesLarsen appreciate the support. I am happy that you finally did it. The strings sound so much more raw when they are recorded live, you can hear the scratching of the strings.
Aren't you able to convert midi to notes in some DAWs? Was that part of your process for notating the parts for live recording? I mean I assume you have a classical background too to be able to arrange it all.
Logic does have a "score" function but it is absolutely horrible. I've been using Finale since I was 16 years old (a long time) so not like I got Finale for this video... been using it for a very long time and got my degree in music composition so it's what I used almost every day for several years in school. You can't format scores in Logic anywhere close to how you can in Finale - and when you're working with professional musicians ... trust me you don't want to be giving them a score generated by Logic. Thats a great way of ensuring they think you don't know what you're doing!! haha!
Wow. Just wow! I had goosebumps and literally tears in my eyes. Such a great production and such an emotional video. You're such a great musician and yet a humble person. Thank You!
Bro you transcended to another level better yet another stratosphere with this episode. No other RUclipsr has not done anything on this level. WELL DONE!
Wow... this comment actually encapsulates what I was really shooting for. Thank you for saying this. I have been feeling like so much of "RUclips Music Producers" is like... cheap and quick. Like - "how can I make a video FAST and QUICK and RUSHED" just to get views - rather than stopping to truly make something artistic, and that's who I am and who I want to be... I want to put in real time and effort into my music and show that true art doesn't happen in 10 minutes.
@@NathanJamesLarsen I am so impacted by this that I am about to scrape some $$$ to join your class! If you are teaching this type of stuff? then here is my VISA number!!!
I have been watching your videos on Logic for a few days now. I feel super embarrassed by what I have put out so far but I do know I want to get better. I have been told I am “pathetic” but seeing someone told you you suck and knowing that isn’t true at all, gives me hope that I will be able to improve with time. I always feel like writing is the easy part but the production has my brain feeling like mush especially when I didn’t get to go to any school to learn these things. Most videos I have seen using Logic go too fast and don’t cover where to even find the tools. I mean I could read but it’s usually not helpful when you don’t know how they translate into what you hear. Anyway. I really liked watching this because I get so frustrated when things don’t work the way I have them in my head. Obviously being new to learning production comes with a lot of frustration but seeing a professional have them too makes me feel somehow less like it’s always just a me problem. Thank you.
No this is Beautiful !! It struck a chord. There will always be haters. You know the people who just have to be negative or their day is not complete. And constructive criticism is needed to evolve too if it is actually meant to be constructive and it comes from a good place. Otherwise ignore. Was great to see this all come together.
Agreed - being an artist is this fine balance of "not caring what people think" while at the same time "caring DEEPLY about what people think" - straddling that is hard and knowing when to take things to heart and when to ignore and be so difficult. I'm so fortunate that those I care about their opinion are in my corner and I can block out the noise.
I’d love to see you make songs about those hate comments lol. That would have been the ultimate win for me. You are great and your tutorials and courses have been so helpful!
Haha I have seen vids like that - the challenge is that it's almost impossible to make something actually "Artistic" like that cause they always end up being really funny and comedic instead. And I'm not big on making music like that to be honest - for some reason I always feel like my music tends to be "deeper"? I dunno - but yeah I hear you!
Wow! I never click the like button or subscribe to most things I watch, but there's definitely deserved it! Crazy, the dedication, and the hard work you put into making this song! this is exactly what music is about! Coming from the heart, and seeing that vision come alive. I don't think I'll ever see another video like this for a long time unless you do another one but wow great great job! I am a blind producer and artist and if you ever wanted to collaborate with each other, that would be amazing.
I’m a new subscriber and have to say that you did really great on this song. I went on to listen to the whole song on my digital streaming platform. I just wanted to know if you have any Holiday music done in this manner? I would really love to hear that. Thank you for the video.
I have a video Idea you have a producer challenge where you and a few other people could make a genre you have never made before I think this idea would be fun
The music is great but what I really want to commend you on is your character and your grace, even the way your responding to some harsh persons in the comment section. Respect to you man!
Nah man you've worked too hard to listen to negative people! you know the deal. Really great that you used it for your benefit as a challenge. Incredible work btw!
Noob question: Doesn't logic Pro take all the work he did to set up the strings on his DAW and automatically set up the musical notation? Why does he have to work on it on Finale?
@@NathanJamesLarsen Good to know. Thanks! Just finished the video. Solid work. When the recording session tempo issue came up, my heart froze. Though my experience is with acting in films and not music (yet), I totally know the pressure when everyone is set up and you're the bottleneck! So relieved when it worked...And that first listen of the quartet on playback was so beautiful.
@@stevhard I've just been using Finale for like 15 years so that's what I'm used to. It's not like I got finale for this video lol... I am actually a composer in real life haha.
YES a lot of work indeed - but I love it that way. I'm tired of seeing all the people trying to make it seem like these things can just happen in five minutes! Social media is so filled with trash making it seem like art can be put together like a happy meal.
Thanks for coming along on that wild ride - I hope you had as much fun and felt it as deeply as I did! If you want to hear the song you can do so right here 👉 hypeddit.com/nathanjameslarsensaylorwilterding/hallelujahorg
I'm so sorry you're getting all those negative comments. No fun to hear from others' opinions 😞 - *Krissy Brumbaugh*
That was truly awesome and inspiring. Bravo. Now,when I take over a month to finish a song I don’t feel so bad.

You should do more of these.
I really enjoyed the whole process, it gives the song a different vibe and appreciation when you see how it's made ❤

Amazing video my friend! Love this new direction
And that's what a true professional at work looks like.

Just brilliant. Goosebumps towards the end!

This was probably my favorite video you’ve put out! Sounded amazing! 🔥
Thanks so much! This was absolutely my favorite video to make - not even close
Listen to your Heart💯..and the Monitors too 🔊
Wow! I never click the like button or subscribe to most things I watch, but there's definitely deserved it! Crazy, the dedication, and the hard work you put into making this song! this is exactly what music is about! Coming from the heart, and seeing that vision come alive. I don't think I'll ever see another video like this for a long time unless you do another one but wow great great job! I am a blind producer and artist and if you ever wanted to collaborate with each other, that would be amazing.
I’m a new subscriber and have to say that you did really great on this song. I went on to listen to the whole song on my digital streaming platform. I just wanted to know if you have any Holiday music done in this manner? I would really love to hear that. Thank you for the video.
Thanks so much.! I recently released our version of O come O Come Emmanuel!
@@NathanJamesLarsen Oh great I’ll check that out thank you!
Wow, love it! Massive well done.
Hey Nathan. Glad to see you again. And I absolutely love this video ❤. Getting my creative juices pumping again 😁
Haha got mine pumping again too!
I have a video Idea you have a producer challenge where you and a few other people could make a genre you have never made before I think this idea would be fun
The music is great but what I really want to commend you on is your character and your grace, even the way your responding to some harsh persons in the comment section. Respect to you man!
Appreciate this - we need more kindness in the world even in the midst of criticism :)
This definitely was the best version of this song I have ever heard. 👏 Well done!
Nah man you've worked too hard to listen to negative people! you know the deal. Really great that you used it for your benefit as a challenge. Incredible work btw!
I'm very fortunate that the negative comments don't get to me like they did a few years ago :)
Hence the big smile at the beginning :) haha
Noob question: Doesn't logic Pro take all the work he did to set up the strings on his DAW and automatically set up the musical notation? Why does he have to work on it on Finale?
And why Finale at $300 instead of MuseScore which is free?
Notation in logic is absolutely horrific. You CAN but it is rrealllllly bad.
@@NathanJamesLarsen Good to know. Thanks! Just finished the video. Solid work. When the recording session tempo issue came up, my heart froze. Though my experience is with acting in films and not music (yet), I totally know the pressure when everyone is set up and you're the bottleneck! So relieved when it worked...And that first listen of the quartet on playback was so beautiful.
@@stevhard I've just been using Finale for like 15 years so that's what I'm used to. It's not like I got finale for this video lol... I am actually a composer in real life haha.
woahhhh that looked like alot of work! but it came out so good at the end too!
YES a lot of work indeed - but I love it that way. I'm tired of seeing all the people trying to make it seem like these things can just happen in five minutes! Social media is so filled with trash making it seem like art can be put together like a happy meal.
Okay just wow. Amazing. Genuinely
❇Fantastic Production❇Amazing Voice❇
Saylor truly was the gem this song needed.
Outstanding job, sir. Sublime.
Mission accomplished! It's a great take on the song.
