Jeremy Soule was the very first composer that introduced me to the world of orchestral music. Thanks so much for making this video ❤
Wade, thanks so much--that's very kind!
I definitely want to see this concept again 🔥
I definitely agree - Perhaps how to write music like Bloodborne?
I loved picking out the subtle differences between the oboe, English horn, and trumpet! Orchestration is literally so cool and just gives so much creative freedom. Seriously such a great video! 🙌🏼
Hey thanks Robert!!
its been a while since i clicked on a video so quickly
Really like the concept, thank you sir!
Thank you so much for inspiration!!! Gorgeous video!!!
Your work is nothing but a gem! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much for always providing so much value with such quality!! It's an amazing job Zach!!
How did I not discover your channel before? These videos are so inspiring and you make the process seem effortless!
Wonderful ! Sounds great
Love it! Beautiful video
This is amazing... Your orchestration and attention to detail is impressive!
Your videos are incredibly insightful. You actually breakdown the process step by step, explaining your thoughts along the way. Thanks for the videos!
You are so inspiring. Keeping your videos concise and informational with beautiful results at the end. Thank you❤
very helpfull ! need to go on ! thank you
Excellent video Zach. You make it seem achievable which is something I need to hear these days. Your fluency with Logic is also amazing.
This is like a blend with Skyrim and Star Wars and I think it's so cool. I wanna say I love the idea of starting with piano chords and a top melody to open up options within that.
Great Stuff, Zach. The omnisphere and sub bass additions really help thicken it up nicely.
this is extremely helpful ❤️❤️🔥
Extreamly good content! Keep it up
You are a very good composer man, you understand the craft
hell yes. i haven’t even watched this yet but I know it’s gonna be awesome.
Thanks for the lesson ~
thank u very much, u deserve millions of views
So glad you all enjoy this series! More coming soon--MIDI and MP3 available on Patreon: patreon.com/zachheyde
Very very inspirational. Thanks a lot for this video! You should finish this project further with your own swing on the rest of the song, I absolutely love the accompaniment you made with the cello from @18:30, it's too good :)
holy smokes I needed to find this today. thank you.
Thank you for this 😅
Thanks zach brother for such informative videos of orchestration make. Make More videos of orchestration teachings thanks 💜💜🥰🥰
This is Legendary!
You are true master sir! Good luck and wish you the best
Thanks Andrei :)
Hi Zach! I loved this analysis and music lesson. I'd really love to see an analysis and "how to compose music like" for Trevor Morris. Specifically, for Dragon Age Inquisition's main theme and any other songs he did which you've heard and enjoy listening to, if any.
I loved this video. You probably were aware, but if not, he uses a virtual orchestra. No real instruments are used. He told me as much when I had a twitter conversation with him. Keep doing these vids. They are great!!
Yeah it's incredible how realistic he got his mock-ups to sound!! Glad you enjoyed it 😁
Ooooooooo, Jeremy Soule..... I will enjoy this video 😊
Great video! Next time: how to compose like John Powell??! 😍😅
You don't have to tell me twice 😉
This is amazing. You should do some more LotR music, but this time more gentle music.
Love videos like this, super helpful and interesting to watch.
Question - I've been using reference lately and get nervous when I get anything too similar to the reference when it comes to something I'm actually selling. When is close too close? I get paranoid even when the composition, rhythm, or instrumentation is obviously similar.
Good question! In most cases I try to avoid directly copying melodic material, but for the most part anything beyond that is relatively acceptable in small chunks of ideas. When it comes to practicing your chops, though, I wouldn't even worry about direct imitation--get it as close as possible to internalize the techniques used by the composer 👍🏻
It's unfortunate this video will get de-monetized, but I'm sure it'll have an impact on your subscriber count. People are bound to flock to a video like this. Which they should! Thanks for such great content!
Hi Zach, thanks for all your very instructive videos. I saw the way you introduce rubato in your piano sketch with Logic and I wonder if i can do the same with Cubase ? All the best
I believe so--look into Tempo Detection!
Hi Zach great video. Thanks for sharing your knowledge …that copy on place tip in Logic is great, i will use ot from now on… did you hear about Divisimate? I wonder if you ever use it and what do you think about it. I want to Patreon you from now on. Thank you
Thanks Tomas! Yes I have used Divisimate in the past, it's quite useful! These days I prefer to do things with polyphonic legato ensemble patches for that kind of sketch work :)
Thank you for your very insightful videos on music! I have a BIG favour! Could you analyse the music of the video game Fable II and III? Thank you very much!
I like your channel 👍💪
Hey, just subbed your channel, i make music in this style for sample packs, could you tell me what breath controller you are using? id be keen to get one
Bedankt
Hey thanks Lisaya!
That's really nice to see how you breakdown and think about the music beyond it's most noticeable textures ^^
quick question : do you choose to not use the Capture Recording option on purpose ?
Hey Max! I am using Capture Recording, and do in general! I find it reduces re-recording significantly :)
@@ZachHeyde Ok ^^
i just noticed you didn't at the beginning when you did the first pass at the chords and the question popped in my brain x)
(i thought it was to get some practice in "^^ )
@@The_Musical_Cartograph Ah! Must have done it by mistake 😁
27:14 the flute is sending me
To be honest, before Jeremy Soul there was Howard Shore.
But I still love Jeremy.
breath controller is so cool! What brand/model are you using or would you recommmend?
Thanks Summer! The TEControl is awesome (the basic one)
Tak!
Woah just saw this, thank you!!
I would love to see one in Dark Souls/Bloodborne style!
bro makes one of the most beautiful heart retching pieces of orchestration and says "hey, that's pretty darn good"
im going on patron rn
Check out the music of Bramble the Mountain King. It is a new game, Amazing soundtrack by Dan Wakefield. I also use True Strike! love that library. I am still learning to orchetrate better, played guitar and drums metal and punk music since little. I know my DAW very well now, just need to study and learn more, these videos you make like these are awesome for just relaxing and watching. Every one of them I learn a few tricks for sure. It seems you have been doing this a long time now maybe. I am still learning piano it is taking time, I know my chords and scales but need to practice a lot and learn more progressions and passing chords.
Do you draw in cc11 as well? As with the breath controller I can only see cc1
Yep, with a fader!
What orchestral libraries do you use? Is there any libraries/plugin companies you would recommend?
Listed in the description (gear list)! 👍🏻
@@ZachHeyde ohh true thankss
23:48
i think it would be okay if u just linked or talked about the name of the song to avoid copyright! appreciate it but you make amazing content and your viewers can take that step of clicking a link instead for you to continue to be able to create this content!
It is quite sad, that when people talk about Soule it is almost always about his TES stuff, which is actually quite monotonous, atmospheric pad-like stuff. He did way better and more interesting music for the Harry Potter game series - absolutely amazing stuff.
You've never listened to the Oblivion soundtrack, then. Very melodic.
I used to be a composer like you... but the. I took a Jeremy to the Soule.
I find this interesting, but why not write down the scores, to avoid overlapping notes and better control the counterpoint?
I compose in a DAW for my work in media music, so that's my demo method! But scores can work too!
@@ZachHeyde
"Don't you ever write sheet music?"
I used to, and did professional copyist and orchestration work as well (which I used to enjoy). But as a media composer, the work I do for clients are mock-up driven, meaning the sound itself is the priority. So composing via notation adds an extra step in the process on top of then having to make the MIDI production sound good (notation software doesn't cut it with its output), which is why most media composers work straight into a DAW instead.
@@ZachHeyde
Thanks for answering.
I understand.
Just casually making masterpieces, huh? Interesting.
sir what is this thing on your mouth 😅🤣
