Trying something new with the video and with the song, first time ever writing for a big jazz band and the first time I've recorded what it looks like in FL Studio while I write music.
I am writing another big band piece, it's almost done. Subscribe if you would like to be notified when it comes out.
dude this song is insane! Great composition
lets goooooooooo
What's your profession if this is a hobby??? 💀💀
@@nohandle31431 my profession is called still being in high school
what sample library you using bro?
making this masterpiece in 1 PATTERN had to be a nightmare 😭
Christopher woke up one day and just became the new Kevin Macleod
That sounds extremely good for a full digital production. Big up for this piece.
I especially love the bass+piano combination, even though it could use a little bit more of some embelishments
Great job!!
There’s a digital/electronic musician named Tanger who gets extremely realistic sounding sounds out of daws. Don’t under estimate the power of digital production.
@@Shin3y well tbf it's so much harder to do it in a DAW so hearing something that you know is a lot of work is surprising
a pretty solidly large amount of hollywood scores are in the box now
@@traumablonde Yes,
but I mean trillion dollar studio VS a youtuber.
@@pizzazemle6262 what does that even matter lmao it's the same digital tools, the only difference is a treated room and possibly 11.2.4 surround sound for atmos. a stereo mix needs none of that and the best headphones to mix on are like $200. Like I have a full home studio with 7.1 and I still use my hd6xx and hd598, and just check with reference tracks and my full setup. You can learn everything a studio hired artist has off youtube and you know most big studios are not hiring the composer to fly in and work there anymore right? a lot of it is work from home, even the voice talents unless it's BIG budget work from home fairly often now.
Not to mention these dudes cut their teeth on t.v. shows, where youre sometimes getting the hour long episode and doing a full comp in like a week.
or the fact 99% of people who work composing for film and t.v. are not working for "trillion dollar studios" lmao, which aren't even a thing but for the purpose of the argument it's like ten people at the highest level and they do a handful of films a year, like three maybe. the dudes using full orchestration are exceedingly rare and dwindling as time goes on
timmy was an average kid that no one understands...
I think the lyrics might fit in💀
He had big dreams in his tiny little head...
Oh wow this was great. As a musician who struggles to make good horns in go studio, seeing your approach is super interesting. This piece is soooo tasty! I am curious also about the mixing and effects you’re putting on the horns. The bright ones especially pop so naturally. This track is an inspiration!
I really want to know how to make the horn sound that good in Go Studio.
@@BVK. i watched a video of Adam Neely where he says that horn instruments should have some kind of saturation on it in the mix
@@chukarec What type of saturation to be precise?
@@BVK. if you got vst for horns, like the kontakt ones, add saturation after the plugin, like FabFilter Saturn
@@chukarec That simple?!?! THANKS!
I cant help but notice he did EVERYTHING in ONE pattern...
I tried something new and I really liked it like this especially for constantly changing songs that don't repeat loops
@@christopherwick2150 i mean its impressive!
its not the same pattern, it looks so cuz of it playing in piano roll
@@camollover234 what does that even mean this is clearly in 1 pattern
I like the use of the bass line and groove of that Aaron Grooves song in that stick animation. The melodies and chords you’ve put over it are really good!
we love them stick men
we love them stick men
thats where i recognized that bass
"in that stick animation" bruh who doesn't know alan becker
@@sk310ton_ We love them stick men
This has got to be the best composition of a band I've heard fully Digital. INSANE work man!
This is also good, but there are many out there that are better. It's impressive what you can do with just a computer.
Wow, so GREAT, fantastic and so wonderful, thank you so much my dear friend Christopher...
Dear evening greetings from Switzerland, your friend Hans-Peter
Thank you very much, I appreciate the kind words!
@@christopherwick2150 💖🙏 you're welcome my dear friend Christopher. I wish you a wonderful and fulfilling weekend...
@@Foto-PoesieUndMusik mr hans you're a very nice man god bless you
this reminds me of "snake skin boots" from call of duty black ops 3, i love this so much!
this is fantastic the only thing i would say is put everything on a reverb bus and add some effects to the piano and make it more realistic like someone recorded it in like randomizing the velocities and strumming the chords a little
Finally, some of the good stuff! I love jazz and it's great to see someone make swing in a big jazz band format showcasing the midi files. I'll be looking out for you now~
This is the 20th time I’ve been recommended and watched this video and it gets more impressive both compositionally and how good kontakt patches are starting to sound
smart fella or faart smella?
@@triplebeatz2605 tart tella or a regional war crime commita
Woa, the arrangement here is REALLY good. The alternation, repetition, the interesting chords... it's all there! Can't believe I didnt find your channel earlier lol
dude this sounds amazing - takes me back to my big band days! i think it would sound even doper if you cut bars 204-208 so contrast between the sparse and busy sections leading up to the end is maximised. your call tho - sounds great either way!
Good suggestion, I wanted to bring back the main theme one last time but I think you are right in that going for the contrast would be better, especially since the main theme is so repetitive already throughout the piece.
DIOS NO PUEDO DEJAR DE ESCUCHAR ESTO, ES DEMASIADO BUENO. No ahora, en serio, este tema debería tener mas visualizaciones, es increible. Lo del pricipio del comentario es verdad también :)
im absolutely blown by this piece. writing like this in fl? for me, impossible
The tempo modulation here is a really nice touch!!
You're very talented, this sounds just beautiful 🎶
the sax (?) duet at like 1:10 is really nice
This had me physically moving in my seat, bopping my head to the beat typa stuff... this is a banger.
lovely score! I'd love more of this. also with the FL studio insight
REAAAALLY TASTY WRITING & COMPOSITION
btw how did you set it to eigth note swing % in fl studio? i've never figured that out T_T
i guess we'll never know cg... T ,T .
hot dame dude, you've just earned yourself a new subscriber. Keep up the fine work!
shocking how you were able to make this digitally. well done
this is a work of art
this type of music is not my favourite but this is truly amazing. to be able to recreate and even surpass live bands is an amazing feat. this is actually so well made
i wouldnt say this surpasses a live recording, i dont think computers ever will.
i do think however this is as close as it can be right now. and that is very impressive
@@drunkchey9739 you dont think they ever will?? this sounds exactly like a live recording. the mixing is amazing
If this is truthfully your first time writing for big band jazz, you have my applause. It doesn't sound bad at all! Keep up work :)
Damn this slaps! Wahooooo! I'm lovin this! My brain's swingin'
Great composition, and a great visual aid for people who are trying to learn/write in this style. Great job
I love jazz so much
This keeps getting in my recommended every time and I love it
that was great! where did you learn to write like that?! great job!
i love the part where he answered your question
@@onlame-ul4ue lmfao
In the backrooms
@@onlame-ul4ue bro 💀
Maby in the fcking music school
Just gotta say ,this is awesome 👏🏼 keep up the great work
this is easily the best use of fruity loops ive ever seen!
that ending though.......... awesome. completely
Oh shit man, That's the best I've heard
this is insane man,sounds like new intro for mafia
holy moly this is so good, I clicked on this, the thumbnail wasn’t loading and i opened the program I was drawing on, I genuinely thought this was an old big band song LOL you did such an aweosme job on this :)!!
Awesome!
This is fantastic
id love to hear this with an actual big band and be able to have it like spotify or something
A masterpiece
this was pretty entertaining! nice work
This inspired me to make my own jazz song :)
me too.
Hot damn dude!
That is ridiculously impressive coming out of Kontact and a DAW
This sounds freaking good!
THAT ENDING IS CRAZY!
I started this from 1:36 and after end of the video i was like: dayuum really this song is 4:26 it was like i listened only 1 minute. Incredible work man
thats impressive dude, just gave me an inspiration
was expecting more of a letloose of the drums to play out, and a little more brass explosion at the end as well, but really good writing.
the fact that you did this all with flstudio and piano roll..... wow.
this is bonkers omg, amazing!
speechless.
YO DUDE THIS IS JUST AMAZING I AM THRILLED DUUUDE
Yo this is insanely good bro wtf
Братан, ты просто сотворил ебаный шедевр, ты красавчик! Создать песню, которая держит в напряжении, постоянно меняется, которая еще и длится четыре с половиной минуты это ахуеть как круто, браво!
каком ещё напряжении? /=
this is absolutely crazy, next level production, good shit!
Great composition man, I wish I could write big band :D
Oh my gosh this is perfect
Man this is too dope! Like the rat pack X fairly odd parents, well done!!!
Damn dude that is fire🔥
This is some good big band music
what a nice ballad
this is awesome to make it sound that organic
this music sounds good nice work man
😃
dang, you know so much about the genre!
Really sick dude!
You should find a band to perform it live, bet there is at least one bigband that digs it! Nice job, nice main theme and walking bass!
This is so nostalgic to me. Toontown Lawbot HQ vibes.
Wow this is superb, keep it up .
Its sound like real big jazz band. Respect!
awesome work. reminds me of playing jazz band in highschool
Cant wait to hear the real life version! I love digging for cool new experimental music using these programs
How lovely
This is crazy at first I thought it was a remake
dope? damn, @Christopher Wick, u goin crazy
Omg, it's great!!!
Wow, thats amazing. How 🤌🏻
great harmony in the horns
Absolutely amazing! Gotta love that Big Band feel!
This is fantastic, Christopher! Great work! 😄
Imagine if it was not computer's music but real instruments... 😍😍
it literally sounds just as good if not better than actual instruments. move on bruh digital composition is the future
@@wiinexus I'm sorry, but digital jazz isn't there yet. It is nowhere close to the tradition of a big band with live musicians. Each person knows their instrument much better than the arrangers, and it is usually up to them to give life and nuance to a song based on what they hear. Digital jazz also involves communication between musicians reacting to each other. There's also a lack of infrastructure for jazz vst and a lack of mockup experience and tutorials compared to other genres. If you could imagine it, there are musicians who could take the first part with just a bass and drum and make it feel incredible, and then the piano comes in with some exciting ideas that you would want to listen to again for the execution. Then, the brass comes in, responding to each other's calls and responses. This is a very good mockup, but you should be aware.
@@wiinexusnah lol
Absolutely stunning, can't believe it's made in FL 😧
Очень классно звучит . Атмосфера будто попал в 80 года или 90 года . Превосходно
Sounds great keep up the good work
this is dope nice work
This is really good!!!
I also usually do all the instruments in one track (for orchestral and so on) instead of the playlist because it has ghost notes and you can easily jump between instruments. It's a great way to work with projects with lots of different instruments.
Anyways, great work, I really like the kinda hybrid big band thing going on here.
Sounds absolutely amazing!
This is awesome. Recently got obsessed with this genre again and this is just so good. Keep it up!
Ok... This amazing. 😌💫✨😇💯🔥
Dang this is awesome! Kinda wanna play this with my big band now!
If you ever write the sheet music I’d love it! (As a trumpet player I love the trumpet hits and triplet section!!!!)
It was freaking incredible. Sounds so smooth and all the transitions are done really great. Loved it mate. ❤
WHY IS THIS NOT EVERYWHERE
So talented!
OMG There is so much work in your composition. Keep it up. Congratulation
This is insanely impressive
Good job, how much time did you spend on it? Of the minuses, perhaps, I would like the notes to be shifted with non-grid more in some spots
I'm feeling this...
stellar job, i especially liked the modulation around 2:31 :)) please make more!!
