This is what I love. A composer showing the insights of how he makes his music and his willingness to answer people's question on it. Junkiexlofficial, don't stop until there's no more.
Praise God for you! Thank you for sharing. It's such an encouragement for someone as accomplished as you and doing music at it's highest levels, sharing so much information. I don't have access to anyone like you directly, so thank you for sharing.
Your sharing in this fashion sets you apart from so many others who do this .And with your vast experience. Which even though I have worked on many film design projects as a outside contributor but always without credit until recently. So this is such important info. And I love how you speak to your audience with a tone of encouragement too! Thank you for that respect it means a lot.peace Christo
would love to see a tutorial or #ama on the process you go through to turn on everything and if you have justa bank of switches to turn on banks of outlets. also do you keep your computers running all the time or do you turn them off nightly?
I couldn't agree more about the partnership and collaboration between a music editor and the composer. Unfortunately for me in my humble independent film scoring studio, I am all in one. Composer, music editor, orchestrator and usually mixing engineer. Don't have the luxury or the budgets for a music editor. Albeit a great concept. And thanks for sharing. Heard much the same from the Hans Zimmer master class.
Do you ever get frustrated having to write a scene like 20 times over cause someone didn't like it or the director said it didn't fit? How do you handle that?
#AskMeAnything Hello Sir :) Thank you so much for such brilliant & informative videos you do. Sir i have question for you... YOU HAVE A HUGE COLLECTION OF GEAR & SOUNDS SO HOW DO YOU CHOOSE A CORRECT SOUND WHICH IS REQUIRED FOR A PARTICULAR SCORE OR A SCENE IN A MOVIE ?? & MOST IMPORTANTLY HOW DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR SOUNDS ?? I'll be highly obliged if you help us out by answering our question.. Thank you so much once again & GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS :) :)
Tom, if you read this, i love your videos, but... i often watch them while in the bed, on my tablet. and sometimes, the sound level is just fine, like the roland, samplers.. presentation /tutorials... the level was strong enough, but on videos like this one, i had to push the volume button to the max, and the overall sound is barely audible. on most videos, i set the volume at 50-70%, and i can hear it perfectly on the tablet. but the 'ask me anything ' videos, and specially this one, i set at 100%, and could barely hear you talking. please, can you normalize the sound for the next videos, and set it at -10 or -5 dbs ? so we don't need to edit the sound and give it a 20db boost... thank you :)
junkiexlofficial haha, I meant in reference to editing the audio to these videos in response to the other guy's message. But appreciate you almost always responding to my comments. Love your work. Would love to get a chance to work with you one day. :-)
Weird, it's perfect for me. Maybe you saw the video before RUclips had adjusted the volume. (YT automatically adjusts the audio of each video to around 13LUFS)
"And then I'm just like wow, interesting"...that must take an incredibly open mind. My response would be more like "how dare you try to alter my creative vision you swine". I guess I'm not really suited to work on big films lol.
I think I would definitely rather the individual doing all this editing and moving stems around be another composer/producer rather than just a music editor. I feel like they would be able to speak a more common language and would understand why chopping up music when it's in .wav form is a stupid practice. Every time I've worked with a non-musically-inclined editor (especially doing trailers) they always end up butchering the music and creating an end result that doesn't sound good and disrespects the artistic vision of the material.
Good stuff and a lesson in being humble, no ONE does EVERYTHING in the movie business, its a team!

It's so cool you are sharing all this knowledge. It's shaping up to be "the" yt channel for film music. Thank you!

...is a team effort!!! You're so right. Thank you again for sharing the knowledge.
I love these vids. Incredible insights, thank you!
Thank you so much Sir... Really very well explained :) GOD BLESS YOU.
Thanks Tom - always wondered about that title - thanks for the explanation! Always look forward to your videos.
Tom, thanks for the awesome videos as always! You're such an inspiration. I have to ask, what shoes are you wearing? I want a pair!! : )

Brilliant insight.
Great information
#AskMeAnything just wondering how you turn the final cubase files into sheet music for the players in the recording session.
That's the job of the orchestrators
I am gonna miss you in DCEU. Would have loved to hear your sound in Justice League. Sad that you were replaced by Danny Elfman. I love your work.
is cubase a music editor?
Ye, but not a person tho ;P
#AskMeAnything I hope to share how you make your special effects from scratch :)
But is the editor selected/ chosen by the composer?
yes... I have 4 guys I work with all the time
