This video is a goldmine for beginner composers!!!! Raising the bar on accessibility on learning how to create music. Bravo!!! Keep up the amazing videos ❤
I try to imagine this video as a real life example. Kevin jumps into the huge amount of rabbit holes and digs shortcuts for everyone who's looking for a guiding line in the area of orchestral music production. This i jampacked with so much information that one have to digest this quite a bit. But with these explanation and nice presentation it is fun to watch. After 4 years I don't consider myself as a beginner anymore but I nevertheless enjoyed the whole video. Thanks a lot, Kevin.
I am a guitarist, and loving classical music it made klick!! I heard Wagner, Mahler, Bruckner and so on. One day I heard a work form Korsakov and there was a structure/melody/snippet from the Harry Potter soundtrack... just written 150 years earlier😊As a beginning composer I would start with studying counterpoint. And then I learn reading scores; easy ones at the beginning. Why dont start with the old masters? Grüße aus Siegen: Du hast einen tollen Kanal❤
A really good example of how RUclips became a goldmine for knowledge. I know it's all basic and surface level but stuff like this can be a real jump start for absolute beginners.
You have simplified an ocean into a small cup. Wonderful teacher. In the past I tried to understand these things but failed. Today, I had a real guiding light to understand how music works. Thank you in millions! ❤️❤️❤️ Love from Sri Lanka.
I'm struggling with my compositions, this video helps a lot although I've learned 90% of the topics from my personal experience and watching tutorials. This video helps to refresh my memories about some fundamental steps. Thanks for making this video!
I would LOVE to see a video about how you go about making a full orchestral template. Even using the BBC Free Orchestra I get a little lost creating templates. But I feel like once I figure out a way that best suits me I would be opening up my DAW more often to write. And thanks for this great video 👍
I mean "how to perfect the ruff draft." To how to fine tune the refine idea to a professional approach to be taken seriously for a mixing and mastering. Many of us r in awe of the how.
I feel so grateful and lucky to have come across this video as a beginner. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and guidance! And yes, a video on how to organize templates would be absolutely tremendous!
This was such a great walkthrough. I"m not a beginner but it filled in a lot of gaps in my perspective of making orchestral music. Love the funny bits you added in there too. Great visualizations and supportive imagery.
Thank you for this, The Composing/DAW industry on RUclips is so saturated and this video made me smile and hopeful that I know what I'm doing! Looking forward to more videos!
This has been very helpful thank you.. I’m hearing impaired and have been composing songs on Ableton for five years now but I want to create an orchestral sound track for my stop motion short film that I’ve been producing… I’ll give it a go thanks to your teachings 👍🏼wish me luck!
Okay. So If you don’t know anything at all about Music Theory move on completely and come back to this masterpiece later. Me only knowing music theory and nothing else this video drew the connection between just clacking with random instruments to actually know which instrument goes where and why. I really appreciate this knowledge! 10/10 would recommend! ❤
Great video! However, I hope you create another video in the future that focuses more on arranging an orchestral score built from a piano arrangement. That would help immensely. Thanks for this informative video!
Dear Kevin!!!...almost one hour of video!!!...and you know what?....i really enjoyed it a lot!!!!.Is really a big work and effort you put it here!!...with a lot of content covering a lot of aspects of creating music, and plus, excelent edition, humor, music, advices!!!.YOU JUST SIMPLY AMAZED ME!!!!!.I wanna say thank you to you, for so much effort and PASSION (As an Argentinian, i know what is that!) putting in one place to bennefit of others like me!!!.I already joyned the Discord comunity and i´ll be very happy to read and comment your post and content.Big Hug from this side of the globe!!!!!.Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!.
Super interesting, since it has become an standard in Cinema ...regarding mixing/mastering (Studio One Pro), how do you approach composing for a Dolby Atmos Bed ? , what's the best way to separate the orchestra sections for surround and object panning ?, do you follow a standard orchestra position or a different layout ?, I know is kind of an advanced topic but there's not a lot of people experimenting with it !
This was a nice crash-course of the important parts. I only missed the mention of syncopation in the tempo section, because it makes such a difference in the music.
Any chance you could do some keyboard comparison videos? After watching this video I've started looking and don't know the differences in the options/features for the price.
Superb video ...thanks Kevin! I wonder could you tell me why an audio interface is needed for a midi controller? I just connect my midi controller to my macbook while using my DAW....
The one thing that is missing on RUclips that none of u composers or sample library reviewers is you NEVER explain how to install these libraries properly. I’ve never struggled so hard to install them properly without getting errors like missing sound or find the folder etc. PLEASE MAKE A VIDEO ON HOW TO PROPERLY INSTALL THESE SAMPLE LIBRARIES!!!! Please!!!
There are thousands of videos, blogs, and other resources on how to install these. How many more videos do you need lol? Nowadays, if you really can't find anything (which is impossible), ChatGPT will give you the answer in less time than it takes for you to write your comment.
True, my computer keeps getting errors or just says that something isn't available or deleted or smth. Ive uninstalled all the sofwares and installed everything from scratch, but I still get that error after installing some plugins after few days
A US electronics retailer called Micro Center often has insane deals on CPU, motherboard, and RAM combos. I spent $550 on a high-end ASUS motherboard, 64GB of G.Skill Flare RAM, and a Ryzen 9 7900X. The RAM was $300 at the time, and a year later it's only around $200 on sales. RE: you can always add RAM later, this is NOT the case on many modern laptops especially if it's a thinner one. My LG gram Super Slim is stuck with 16GB and Macs are notorious for not being upgradeable. a $600 Mac Mini M3 seems like a great bargain until you see that Apple charges $400 to go from 16GB to 32GB LOL. RE: SSDs. SATA SSDs are good for sure, but I would always go NVME if your motherboard supports it. It's so much more insanely faster than SATA and the drives are about the same price for a given storage amount. New composers should be made to use Sonatina Symphonic Orchestra as a sort of hazing :D
Rme interface is the best for long term over 20 years, don't buy that cheap scarlett garbage, get SSL or audient if you want cheap (they have way lower preamp noise). Heddphone 2 for headphones with an adi 2 pro from RME, or if you want cheap just use a sennheiser 490 pro with the headphone jack on your RME interface. Pick one analog synth, I recommend and personally own the groove synthesis 3rd wave for an analog filtered serum (incredible) and a cheap behringer model D for bass, or go for a polybrute 12 if you want a more sterile studio sound. If you want cheap get a GS Bree6 (cheap oberheim/3rd wave sound) or GS E7 (Argentinian cheaper poly Moog) If you have more money, I personally have 2 flux labs mentors (3k+) as your headphone amplifiers although warning for EU people they aren't CE certified only the parts inside are, they do this to save cost because they are a Ukranian company in kharkiv or however you spell it which at one point was taken over by the Russians, and it helps keep their price low for their insane performance to price ratio.
As an amateur composer, I’m truly amazed by your generosity in sharing this freely on the platform. Thank you for your contributions to the community!
Truly, its really insightful and helpful🎉
Why amazed by his generosity in sharing this freely?

Big thanks brother ❤
Respekt, Kevin! Du scheinst wirklich ein Herz dafür zu haben, dein Wissen mit Leuten zu teilen!
I'm a professional composer and I highly recommend this video to everyone who want's to learn orchestration. Very well done Kevin!
Do you have music somewhere so I can listen to it? Always love to hear pro composer music ☺
I have been composing most of my life but still enjoyed the video from the start to the end. Thanks a million Kev! Vielen dank!
i learned a lot from watching this video. thank you... need to watch this a few times to really understand it well.

I would love......❤❤❤ And I am sure others would love to watch several "how to videos of step by step to get the fullness of these hidden gems."
Been a composer for several years now and looking for a community. This is perfect ❤️
Heart of courage played in the piano example :-) I’m a huge Thomas Bergersen fan
Thank you very much for this video!
This is a hidden gem of beginner composer guide.
This was such a great walkthrough. I"m not a beginner but it filled in a lot of gaps in my perspective of making orchestral music. Love the funny bits you added in there too. Great visualizations and supportive imagery.
Thanks so much for information

Thank you so much Kevin 😎🤝🔥🔥🔥🔥video
great, simple yet very professional
GREAT BEGINNER"S TRAINING VIDEO. THANKS A LOT🙂
I feel obligated to point out that Reaper is indeed a great DAW if you're on a budget, but also if you aren't. It can easily compete with other DAWs.
Very nice !
A real 'go-to" video for total beginners in music. Well done !
Hey that was super cool, lot of learning, thanks Kevin !
Beautiful class and explaining!!! Thank you very much.

Great idea for a Quick Masterclass. Can you teach me how to talk like Hans Zimmer please?
😅

HOW cool are you!1 AMAZING BASIC INFO. VERY VER WELL EXPLAINED
Klasse video kevin, danke sehr hilfreich.
This is so informative
Let’s go!
incredible crash course dude
Yup, we need a in-depth video on creating template (especially for Studio One users :))
Superb video ...thanks Kevin! I wonder could you tell me why an audio interface is needed for a midi controller? I just connect my midi controller to my macbook while using my DAW....
Excellent start into 2025, cheers for that 🙌
Gotta check out Flatulus.

🤩thank you
This is the video I wish I could've watched when I was just starting out
A new subscriber here. 🎉
Did I already tell you you are the f______ best composer/producer on the platform?
Thanks!!
@@KevinKuschel BTW what DAW is this? even google lense couldn’t answer lol
Studio One @@th3goldenlady
@@th3goldenlady Studio One 😎
@@studioonetutorials ohhh I got that with my audio interface (pre souns audio box 96 usb) bad interface btw too much preamp noise for the price imo
I gave you a well earned like, sir
Thx
Great video for beginners and a good overview. How long did it take you to create the video?
Too long 😅 Started first recordings in July, then prioritized other stuff. Now managed to finish it 🔥
@@KevinKuschel That's what I thought. 🙂
Great video! ;)

Good advice here. Personally, I didn't see a difference in sample library loading speed between my external SSD and my NVME, unfortunately.
