Wonderful track and really helpful tutorial! Thanks Ari for making this, I really loved that part around 7:24, nice little trick. And yes, the melodic phrases are really wonderful to create convincing Melodies
Personally, I like your approach better than the original. It's more interesting to me because of the core human element introduced by Vocalise 3 and in particular the space that you kept open in order for all these interesting nuances to remain noticeable. Zimmer often buries the rest of the soundscape in those "braams" and that gets annoying to me over the length of such a big score (I'm aware that this is where the money will be for him and why he gets hired back, but sometimes more subtlety is more interesting, at least where I'm concerned). Great track and artistic and sonic choices, I owe it to @MartinHeidenreichMusic to have revisited your great "Dune style" piece). Awesome!
Yeah, he's really great at demoing your products and shining a light on their particular strengths,@@Heavyocitymedia, isn't he? @MartinHeidenreichMusic, we're referencing you ;-)
Basic question but do you put all of the vocal elements on one Kontakt instance with each on a different midi channel and each controlled from a separate midi track? Is putting everything on one Kontakt instance more efficient? Thanks for the great tutorial!
In this track I set up different Kontakt outputs related to preset type in VEPro (which was then connected to Cubase). So, for example, all of the Phrases were coming out of one Kontakt out, the sustained pads out of another, and so on. I'm able to route and mix things a little more deeply this way. I split the "sections" up in Cubase with a blank "divider" track, just so I can easily see what's what. I don't know if there is any benefit to this, and depending on the instrument type, I may set it up differently (ie 1 Kontakt per instrument type). Not sure if this helps in any way! 🙂
@@ariwinters9002 Thanks! I can see I need to experiment a bit on which presets I want to group. I am supposing that the more presets in a Kontakt instance means more efficient memory use. Separate midi tracks for each preset input?
@@VocalMike It's a bit of a balance. If you have more instruments in a single Kontakt instance, you'll be using less RAM, but more CPU per core. If you have more Kontakt instances, you'll have slightly higher RAM, but less CPU. If you have plenty of RAM and CPU power, it really is a preference on how you organize things in your session. Sometimes it is nice to have a single track for an instrument vs a bunch of different tracks of midi for different articulations. Hope this helps!
This is pretty darn inspiring and pretty darn epic. Vocalise 3 is one of my favourite purchases of recent years.
Phenomenal. So beautiful. Lyric, dramatic, everything is there. I have Vocalize 3 and cannot do 1/100 of what you composed.
01:29 , dam man, idc about the rest of the song but that part right there, dam
Thanks!
Love Vocalise!!!
Great video! But guys…when is Heavyocity going to make shirts to rep? I love your guys’ logo!
Great! I use vocalise a lot. It’s fantastic
That's....pretty....darn...epic!
Thanks, appreciate you watching!
@@Heavyocitymedia You're welcome! Thank you too!
This is really amazing, wonderful!
Thank you for these! Watching each of you do an episode here & there really gives an interesting perspective.
Thanks for checking it out!
@@auraldecoy yes, definitely! Stay tuned! 🙂

Omg this is actually better than original dune music🤯
Very nice piece! and nice to hear V3 in context "in the style of"...DUNE!!! 🙂
Thank you!
@@Heavyocitymedia I'd love to experience a similar vid "in the style of"... Blade Runner!
@@TheValueOfN thanks for the feedback, we'll be sure to share it with our team :)
Fabulous. I have so much to learn!!!

Awesome, thank you for your sharing your thoughts and checking out the track! And thanks to Martin for suggesting it :)

This is so great !! but I cant seem to find the same melodic phrases used in this demo ?
Thanks Malcom! The phrases that I used are on the keys F#3, G3, G#3 from the Melodic Phrases (F# Minor) preset. Hope this helps!
@@ariwinters9002 Thank you so much for replying :)
@@ariwinters9002 Good man for helping out.
Magnificent!

Besides astonishment... Where did you take all your knowledge of the use of Vocalise?
