I am totally looking forward to pt. 2, and bring on the weeds, please, to which I am looking forward even more! Thank you ever so much for doing this, Trevor, truly appreciated!
@@TrevorMorrisComposer i love you soundtracks for the Vikings series, you make the best medieval music. I definitely am curious am curious if you are going compose your own music like viking fantasy music that isn't featured in a movie tv show or video game. your music is so inspiring
This will go down as one of the best resources for new composers trying to figure out what to choose and building their libraries. Thanks for taking us in depth!
can't wait for more of your videos....and yes please go deeper. Would absolutely love to see your workflow in as much depth as possible. This type of stuff is very inspiring for composers who are just starting out (like myself).
Thank you Trevor Morris! I appreciate your willingness to share your set up with everyone and would definitely be interested in the process you have in place for routing everything for making your final mixes / stems. Peace!
I'm completely new to composing but I want to be organised from the get go. I've tried quite a few ways to setup my template and this is the one that has made the most sense to me. Thanks for making these videos!
I love your videos - very useful in all respects! Thank you! When I get glimpse of the 1000 or so instruments/samples you have in your template, considering your intensely broad and deep experience in creating sound, I would relish and love to hear some of your thoughts and recommendations on VSTs and sound libraries in any shape or form you’d be willing to express it in,…whether it be new RUclipss, random comments, or paid consulting. I became aware of you. binging on Vikings and enjoying the incredible things you do in it,...Great stuff!!!! Full of innovation and new ideas that enhance the drama and also stand on their own as terrific music!
Awesome Trevor, thanks for taking the time, would love to see the VEP setup and routing back and forth and what are your other sounds from Vi's and hardware and how all that is integrated , maybe part 4, 5, 6, 7......12 !!! Kidding...thanks for the effort.
Very interesting. I'd appreciate more of these videos, in particular about routing, bouncing, do you have separate buss tracks for reverbs, how do you render, what do you deliver, stereo or surround formats? with or without reverb, and so on.
Really cool to see your Template! I'm just guessing, but with a template like that, one needs a pretty powerful pc to run it all. What are the specifics of your computer. Also would love to see a short video in which you explain how your Tablet works in interaction with cubase! That seems such a valuable tool!
So awesome... Thanks for doing this. Funnily enough, it mirrors my template quite closely (even down to the color coding)! Please, go as techie as possible in a next video :-)
Hey Trevor , Thanks to you and all the pros who gave their time, and Mucho Gracias for the template run through ! Great of you to organize this Master Class. One question, How do I get one of those touch screen controllers? Who makes it? Is it bassed on ICPro for Cubase, or ? If its cool I'd like to get the contact. Many thanks !
Awesome! Thank you again for this. Looking forward to part 2! Wonder if at some point you can go over some of scores you worked on, your approach to the themes etc. The Castlevania and Dragon Age Inquisition scores were simply amazing.
Thank you for sharing all your magic! I just finished watching and wanted to ask you how you started out discovering your own sound with all the libraries that are available nowadays. I am about to invest but I'm not sure if I should be picky or just go with what my guts tell me. I'll be looking forward to your future AMA's!
This is great! Thanks for doing this Trevor, would love to see how you set up your verb sends and I think I saw in the past you were able to use the S3 faders to control midi cc. If so can you add how you set that up? Thanks so much!!
This is such a great series, thanks for doing this! I assist for a few different composers in LA, this is really interesting to see how you work. I would love to see the routing!
Yea, please make a video about routing. What reverbs you use. Do you apply the reverb on the master fader or make an aux / bus / send track and apply the reverb there, etc etc. That would be cool
Trevor, thanks for this video! I would really enjoy your getting into the technical aspects of your template and hope that you have enough requests for this that you decide to do it!
Thanks, @@TrevorMorrisComposer! Why do you use instrument tracks, rather than MIDI tracks? I'd like to learn more about how you set up expression maps, where your libraries are located (solid state internal/external drives, other computers, etc.), and I would love for you to talk about your bussing!
Thank you for sharing and discussing your template with us! Do all these deactivated VSTs result in lengthy save times for you? Or do they once you activate them?
Hey Trevor, thanks for the amazing content. Quick question: how do you deal with your mixer configurations when "enabling" an instrument? Does it appear everywhere for you too (Meaning on all mixer configs)?
That would great to have an option to “freeze” a configuration so that when enabling an instrument, it would go only to your “all tracks” config. So your “deliverables” don’t get stuff added for example. Thanks a lot for your reply 😊 And props on the new Vikings show 💪🏻🔥
Amazing video Trevor! Thanks for sharing. I was curious if you save your template with the patches purged so that they are lean upon enabling them for use or fully loaded?
Hey Trevor, thanks so much for sharing - do you have a preferred library for Saxophones? I am struggling to find any that sound semi-realistic, thanks!
Hi, Trevor! Another question - I noticed some orchestral instrument patches are set up with expression maps and those contain all of the articulations (long and short). How would that work with reverb? Do you just bus them to your long orchestral reverb? Or is there a way to map those out to separate reverbs? Thanks again for all of these amazing videos!
Wow! I am so impressed by the fact that EMMY Award winner composer is using the disable feature in his template. I wonder why didn't you use VEPro Trevor? ... Don't get me wrong! I am so happy to know that because I am using the disable feature myself in my template. I don't feel I need complexity in my setup and VEPro is an additional layer of complexity. Also, VEPro will kill my usage of my Komplete Kontrol.
Thanks for the very informative video Trevor - just watched it as part of my Berklee Online film score mixing course with John Whynot. One question I have - do you have all the tracks "switched off" or "unloaded" in terms of RAM usage when they're sitting in the background not used? I would never have enough RAM available to load all those tracks at the same time, but I can imagine if they were in a "purged" state when inactive and then self-loaded as you started recording with them it would be possible to have that many tracks all ready to go in a template. Is that what you do, or do you have mega-RAM available maybe by having VSL networking and multiple computers etc.?
Thanks for sharing..question, with all the choices of libraries out there, do top composers such as yourself get libraries sent to you, or do you make the choice to purchase them? How do you decide which to get? Latest and greatest to be the first to use them, or do you decide based off need? Lastly, how often do your mockups end up as finals, rather than live orchestra? Thanks!!
@@TrevorMorrisComposer Maybe silly question because of the time involved, but how often do you personally take the time to decide on a new library, rather than have your assistants make recommendations? Just curious as to what your criteria is for getting new libraries...I'm sure vastly different than ours because it's a rabbit hole and an obsession...LOL
I have templates almost like yours, mostly being Spitfire and some other noticeable libraries such as Cinematic Strings. How you address your routing and stems?
Hello Trevor, thank you for making the 2 part of your template. This has honestly been really helpful to watch. I am currently working on a template to help with my workflow and I do have one question. Do you use a instance of kontakt on every track indivdually or do you use a instance of kontakt to host 2+ tracks on 1 instance?
Why did you load in 2/3 Spitfire ensemble libraries? Are they 3 of the same Sul pont or each Sul Pont from different libraries? I would assume the latter, but just checking :)
Thanks to you I've switched back to this model of template. What concerns me the most are saving times. With Spitfire's instruments, do you have all the CORE LEGATO and DECORATIVE loaded inside the same kontakt instance or just one of these?
Thank you! I meant the ones that are handled via Keyswitches, inside Kontakt, do you use all the three patches (CORE, DECORATIVE and Legato) or just the Core one? I'm asking because your template is strikingly similar to mine and I've really can use like everything you say in my one (which is awesome!) and I wanted to know how people approach to the duality CORE/DECORATIVE that Spitfire uses. Thanks again!
Sorry...so CS2 is NOT CSS? correct...because you mentioned their first was dark, unless CSS is their 3d library? I have CSS, but can't seem to find a use for it, but CS2 seems like a better choice. Thanks.
This is so great to see Trevor.
Thanks Trevor! I would love to see all your routing, busses, etc., as it is always inspiring to see what others do :) So please do a video on that!
