Thanks Guy! One of the biggest takeaways from this video for me is using the click editor (or whatever it's called) to experiment with different rhythms. Just watching you work with it already had ideas sparking and makes getting started in signatures like 7/8 allot more manageable.
I use Studio One and had to render the click and then cut up the measure into beats so that I could emphasize some beats and de-emphasize others. It worked but I'd rather have the Cubase facililty right in the Click editor.
THIS is why I really ♥️ Cubase - exactly this Click Track thing with it's adjustable groove beat modifications is such a great feature! No other daw has this.
Wow! I’ve been Cubasing for 20+ years but was completely unaware that you could change the pulse pattern for an irregular time. That’s SO neat, thanks very much Guy.
Love your presentation style and enthusiasm, it’s awesome. Showing the huge difference in feel from the changing emphasis was fast and really perfectly illustrated. Thx!
Loved it. Thank you so much. About halfway through the video I started hoping you would do the birdcam with the trailer music and lo and behold you did it. That was great.
Love the channel, this video you have made on metronomes has really helped. Irregular time signatures is what I was looking for. This has made my day. May just upgrade my cubase now. Cheers for the video!
Get blinds, thin and white would be a good light diffuser, even say a bedsheet stretched across a light frame! The music is great as well, thanks for all your content!
I'm so drawn to cinematic music composition. I feel like I have so much to say and it's the only language I can use to say it. And it's frustrating because I can't speak the language yet and all I have to say burns in my spirit like a raging volcano that wants to erupt but is inhibited by a stronger force. So until I learn the language I can only relieve the burning volcanic pain through watching videos from this channel and listening to other game and movie soundtracks. Whenever I watch a video from this channel I'm reminded of the quote: "The things that excite you are not random. They are connected to you for a purpose. Follow them."
Hi Guy! I like these videos where you write music with these new libraries as they come out. Something that would benefit a lot of people would be if you do a video or two on writing transitions in our music as well as a where to go from here type of thing. I find myself with really cool ideas but I dont know how to transition into a new idea i have, or sometimes i dont even know where to go from there, and i stop working on it. Much appreciation for your videos though!
Hi Lee... I have a few vocal libraries and find that they're mainly good for background accompaniment, unless you spend as much as you do for an Albion library, or more. However, even a good choir library only covers the classical genre. Musical Sampling and Zero-G both have some very good, and relatively inexpensive vocal libraries that are worth looking at. Guy reviewed one of the Ethera vocal libraries a while back, which prompted me to get it. I hope this helps in some way.
These videos are alway to inspiring and deflating at the same time. Inspiring in showing what can be done. and deflating in that I'd spend months trying this, and not get anywhere are far or as good and you do in 1/2 hour! LOLOLOL :-) thanks for the videos!
This feature is terrifically helpful when playing against the click. DP had this years ago but only recently has Cubase and LPX adopted this especially when you are doing a Jerry Goldsmith styled cue. Or channeling Bartok or Stravinsky. ;)
You just love your wildlife in your own garden, don't you? I certainly feel you on that! But the bird traffic outside your studio is considerable! Busy like an airport!
Fantastic! Setting the metronome accents suddenly made years of confusion and unsatisfactory workarounds make sense. I think I’ve been shoehorning odd time signature riffs and ostinatos into 4/4 or 3/4 grids. Oops. 🙄. Anyway, thanks Guy!
Hi from Balkan. You should search for band - Leb i sol - and song - Jovano, Jovanke - it is in 7/8 (i think, i am not a musician). We call that kind of rytham - NEPARNI - it means Odd.
I was once at my friends' band practice and they were rehearsing a new song of theirs in 7/8 and the drummer kept messing up so the guitarist at one point just blew up and screamed at him "DUDE! IT'S NOT THAT HARD! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SE! VEN!" and everybody else just lost it hahaha
Hi Guy! Good job! I have a question, how do you write down the notes on paper after composing (digital version). Do you use some program or write with a pencil, for example? How do you record the record to remember what you played e.g. a month ago? Do you use sheet music?
Nice! But I was hoping for some more takeaways about what to think about when writing in 7/8 and how it's different from 4/4. Obviously, the rhythmic parts were adapted, and it's important to decide how to divide the bar, as you said. Would have liked to hear a bit more about how you did that adaptation and how it helps to bring out the rhythm. I was also hoping for some melody that had to adapt to 7/8, but I got the feeling that the melodic parts in this piece are so slow moving that they don't have to care much about what happens inside a bar?
I am not a musician or composer just an ol' sound pleb from along the coast. When you are adding brass and choirs are you counting the bars or just going for what feels good with the rhythm of the down beats. No laughing at the back. We all have to learn.
One thing Cubase's metronome never gets right is 12/8 time. It always sounds like 6/8 instead. If anyone has found a solution to this, I'd be very grateful!
I love 7/4 time. One of my all time favourite pieces of music, "Cinema Show" by Genesis, features a 4.5min instrumental solo section entirely in 7/8. I loved Guy's piece, too. It sounded awesome even when it was only at the percussion stage. I liked the major/minor tonality, too. One oddball time signature that I often use in compositions isn't quite as irregular as it seems: 10/16. My compositions "Ten Sixteen" ruclips.net/video/7OXcoIOFrlQ/видео.html and "Summer Christmas in Nelson" ruclips.net/video/4IL14LhNdjw/видео.html are written in 10/16.
Good stuff, Guy. I just love wonky time signatures but then I had a boyhood baptism with Tubular Bells in 15/8, or is it.... PS - 26:15 Keep going, Guy, keep going, just let me alter my sights....I hate Pigeons. Sorry.
Add Vocalisa or Rhodope 2 for additional 7/8 flavor. 12:42 Fallout 3 vibes. How do you recognize musicians from The Balkans at pizza restaurant? They order seven slices.
Yeah well 7/8 is beautiful... but going from 4/4 to 7/8 where the quarter becomes dotted quarter Cubase can NOT do. Forcing creative Goldsmith style rhythms to not be available in Cubase. Pro Tools and Digital Performer does have this available easily as a tempo map edit. Clean and easy. Cubase (which is my current DAW) really needs an update as does Logic.
With the possibility of making a fool out of myself I'll say I'm pretty buffled by the fact that you're still not working for some big Hollywood studio or something!
Interesting time signature... thanks for sharing! By the way.... it would seem that you are broadcasting from the future since your computer's date/time setting in the taskbar is '3/2/2022'. How'd you do that?? :-)
I really don't like metropolis ark. Sure it sounds insane, but they mix all the sections together and limit me from making me own orchestral layers for an insane amount of money. Nucleus and Audio Imperia is better. Metropolis ark limits creativity. But fine if you got a lot of money and a lot of libraries. Cool video though.
when I grow up, I want to be Guy
But you can't! His secret is never growing up.
So does Guy...

@@raymondspagnuolo8222 Use the function button in the time signature setup. Its there.
Guy, I love your videos , and the Thinkspace courses. But any chance of a live bird feeder cam? That would be really cool.

Thanks, Guy. Great video. Fun to hear something in 7/8. I wonder if the pigeon knew he was part of an epic story LOL. Take care

"It's pigeon time" - Hahaha! LOL! Guy, you brighten my day with knowledge, humour and goodwill! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!
A round-up of your vocal libraries would be interesting. So hard to find a singer....

Nice! I enjoyed the video. That made an odd time signature feel very natural. You made that look incredibly easy. Thanks again!
i wrote a piano piece that starts off in 3/4, 4/4, 3/8, 12/8, 5/8, 12/8, 5/8, 12/8, 2/4 and 3/4. It's really fun to play
I enjoy irregular time signatures because it allows you to experiment and come up with new ideas

Hey, Money, on DSOTM is in 7/8 time, love playing it on my good ole Fender bass 😜😜😜😜
so fun at the end story telling time🤣🤣
Great sounds
Would pay for ‘It’s Pigeon Time’ merchandise.

You kinda looked like Kratos from God of War when the sun was shining…..speaking of, check that music. Incredible
oh i love this man
John Coltrane once said and I quote: "Nothing swings more than 4/4 and 6/8"! He was right.
I was once at my friends' band practice and they were rehearsing a new song of theirs in 7/8 and the drummer kept messing up so the guitarist at one point just blew up and screamed at him "DUDE! IT'S NOT THAT HARD! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR! FIVE! SIX! SE! VEN!" and everybody else just lost it hahaha

Let's all pitch in together and get Guy a little curtain for that pesky sun. I'm quite worried. :D
Money, from Pink Floyd, also in 7/8
now this is a great way to start my morning 😈

The final mission theme from Mass Effect 2 is in 7/8 if I’m not mistaken

I would love you to do a video about arranging disco strings, there are no videos on youtube about that subject!
For a very good reason!
wow youre very good! thank you for the video i learned a lot about 7/8 its not that scary actually
My favorite odd time sig is 5/4
Finally
me when i hear 7/8:
Americ anFootball
It's pigeon time! :D
"It's pigeon time" 👍
Great stuff, but if a time signature is irregular often, it should consider changing its diet.
