The way you demonstrate the examples is fantastic. What I like most about your videos is that you provide not only the piano roll of MIDI data but also notation. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words. Yes making the notation means it takes a little longer to produce, but its what I would want from an educational music tutorial
Thank you so much - yep the orchestral colors you use can really make a difference. Sometimes when a director has notes on a score, all that needs changing is the instrumentation!
@composingacademy8270 Yep. A couple of months ago. Haven't had a chance to dive into it yet though. Work has been eating up too much of my time at the moment. But having watched all your RUclips videos, I know my music will only improve once I get started on the courses.
Something to note about pizzicato, it's the first technique you learn when playing a string instrument, which I think is where it's association with youth and carefreeness comes from.
Ah yes, you're absolutely right. It certainly must be easier to pluck the string then to get to grips with the initial bow technique. Thanks for watching!
nombre éste es el canal que he estado buscando, todo tu contenido es muy valioso! gracias por hacerlo ja. podrías hacer un video explicando la producción y composición musical detrás de las canciones de league of legends, o valoran porfavor 😭😭 he estado buscando por mucho tiempo eso
@@composingacademy8270 and soon i will compose similar stuff at the moment i starte modul 2 of your great course! glad i found it my head is burning hahahah :D
We hope, our dear professor, that you would be so kind as to explain to us the musical language you use, which is what is preventing me from understanding your unique lessons.👌👌❤
Thanks for the video. Regarding the celeste, 3:32, I adore it but beware in a "real world situation", I mean with a real physical celeste and a real orchestra (yes, think about this personnal achievement!😉) its volume is quite low and it has to be played with a light orchestration. For instance with a lot of brass and forte strings it will not be heard. In these circonstances the glockenspiel with has a higher sound pressure, can help you. Obviously with plugins and gain control we can make the celesta as loud as we want 😁
Very good point! I played a lot of percussion at Music College - I remember playing a glockenspiel in a tutti section of an orchestral piece and unfortunately hitting a wrong note. Of course it could be heard over everything. I'll never forget the look I received from the conductor 😬
@@composingacademy8270 The inherent nature of the percussions, often very few notes to play but when it's the wrong one... the TPNB, (Triangle Player Nervous Breakdown 😁)
Thank you so much! For the Sentimental pieces it was Berlin Woodwinds (Flute, Clarinet and Bassoon) Requiem (Female Choir) and Pacific Strings for the Violins and Violas
Great video! I love watching your channel! I have just one question. Do you compose your scores in a notation software (like Musescore) first and export it into cubase then or do you write your pieces just in Cubase? So what is your workprogress? Thank you for your help!
Thank you for your kind words! I will almost always compose first in Cubase, before then exporting the Midi, importing it into Finale to make the notation. I hope that helps!

Wow, thumbs up for the list of used sample libraries!
My pleasure! Someone previously asked about the libraries in the comments, so I thought I should add the list of libraries used 😀
So clearly explained, as always. I think you are the best teacher or certainly one of the best on YT.

Hey Simon! Your Tutorials are really great and help me a lot with my own music!
Thank you very much! 😃👍👍👍
Hi Michael, My pleasure - glad they are useful! I've just had a quick look at your channel - you have some awesome music on there!
@michaelwolf9620 Really good stuff, Michael. Just subscribed to your channel and am looking forward to more great content in the future.
Woahhh... More of these contents please
So simple but sounds epic
Great information, Simon!. It's amazing how much the 'colors of instrumentation' can change a pieces vibe. Essential information!
Thank you so much - yep the orchestral colors you use can really make a difference. Sometimes when a director has notes on a score, all that needs changing is the instrumentation!
very useful as always❤ great job!😊

Hi Simon, Thank you once again for a great video!!
Love your teaching method. So much so, I purchased your "Cinematic Music Made Easy" course. Money well spent!

I completely agree
Highly educational and inspiring video. Thank you!
Could you please tell me which libraries you used for the sentimental part?

Thank you !
You're welcome! Appreciate the comment!
The beginning of the magical part soynds like ready player one the scene where wade goes backward in the race. Cool
Ah I will have to check it out - thanks for watching!
I guess you should add more combination, like for the medieval or middle ages one
19:46 what those little balls below the harp notes mean?
When I'm stucked at composing, I just visit your channel. Thanks a lot for this wonderful tutorial.
Glad I can help! Thanks for watching 😀
"Contemplative" is my musical hiding place

Finally 😅😊❤
Yes, sorry this one took a while to make! ☺
Piccolo flute + bass drum, when the dropping of a bomb is required
good
Thanks!
really nice... maybe add the examples as downloadable files? :D
That is a good idea...I'll see what I can do....Thanks for watching!
also, one more thing.
What about soft and joyful instrumental combinations.
It doesnt appear that spitfire percussion is available anymore. I really want that celeste
I'm testing that with SWAM bundle, and I'm literally crying my *ss off
Excuse me, what's library of orchestra to use you?
what piano do you use in the last part of the video?
Its Keyscape, with the Cinematic Grand Piano patch and some added Blackhole Reverb
Upcoming filmmakers gether here let help our self
Are you writing in GarageBand?
Hi, no all of my videos are using Cubase
❤👍
💯💯💯💯💯
Thank you!
el de comedia suena como los sims jaj
Hollywood? This existed before Hollywood was founded.
But "Hollywood", cinematic soundtracks, do use these combinations, no matter if they existed before or after the conception of Hollywood.
Thanks for sharing! Stay safe.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
@@composingacademy8270 Always! Music is my oxygen and I'm always curious to see how fellow musicians approach the solutions. Stay safe.
