New Year New Sounds
First video of 2024. Excited to be making more music, creating more sample libraries, and meeting more creative people! In this video, I make a track using some folky sounds that I've been enjoying lately.

Composing the FIRST thing I play today

Recently I've struggled to commit to musical ideas. I get about 50 seconds in, and immediately want to throw it away. So today, I'm forcing myself to record the first thing I play, and turn it into a piece of music.

Making nostalgic music with Lost Synth
Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
In this video, I play with Westwood Instruments' new Lost Synth library. It's a deep dive with over 80 sounds, over 200 presets, an A-B mixer and loads of fx that I can't quite explain. The video is a breakdown of a piece of music, and shines a light on a broader question about how to make your music more nostalgic.

The BEST Bass Sound Formula
Просмотров 7 тыс.Год назад
In this video, I show you how to make (what I think is) the best bass sound, using a combination of a Logic sine wave, a Kontakt Komplete bass guitar and Spectrasonics Keyscape piano bass. It's important to maintain a simple bass tone that cuts through a mix, using strong sub bass and gritty mid range - this will help your music translate on phone speakers / laptops etc. If you'd like to suppor...

Improvising CALM PIANO Music for 20 Minutes
Просмотров 5 тыс.Год назад
It's been a while... Recently I've been struggling to commit to a topic to make a video about, and struggling to stick to a musical idea... So I had an idea: improvise for 20 minutes STRAIGHT, no cuts, no edits, just whatever comes to mind, and post the results. I may turn this into a series if it goes down well. For now, just sit back, relax and join me for a stream of consciousness. If you'd ...

    I'm new to music/scoring and come back to this video every couple of months and always pick up on something new. One major amateur question, though: In an instance like this, how much are you relying on a key signature or a scale? or is it mostly just feeling and what sounds right to the ear? Know that's a little broad lol.

    I love poly digital synths with all the physical controls instead of menus. We only had a few in history to buy, I missed the JD800 and JP8000, but have the Gaia and Gaia2, and bought all the Boutiques: JX03 / JP08 / JD08 / JX08. I missed the first Juno Boutique, and now have the last chance with this one. Still deciding on this dual Juno...?...Should I buy it? Would it be a good addition to the other Boutiques? (my studio is computerless, all hardware including a 24 track hardware recorder)

    Awesome video! I am now getting into filmscore, although my first project is more like Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, a child's tale, with the final form unkown, but I'm very excited about it. I will revisit your channel often it seems. I do have a question: where can I find movies with no music but sound effects in?

    Will come back to watch and listen again soon. So far so good!! An interesting method of scoring a film by basically playing the parts into your DAW as opposed to the very old school pen and paper for instance. Lots of ways to get it done. Lots of things to think about at once. Could be a very stressful job. Nonetheless I like what you are doing how you are doing it and how it sounds. Bravo!

    Love this. Thanks for sharing. Random question for anyone who knows - my libraries are BIG and my PC struggles to run them without crashing Kontakt or my DAW. I have a very powerful custom built PC (latest intel processor, rtx 3080, 64g ram) and wondering what I'm missing. I've searched online and have not found an answer. How do you have SO many instruments lined up in Logic and it not crash?

    • @VilhelmG
      @VilhelmG 2 месяца назад

      It depends. Your specs ought to be good enough for your PC to handle your library. Check if your PC is running properly (you can download apps for this) and obviously any cracked software will always perform worse/crash. See if any change in your Logic settings have any impact. If it’s a PC issue you should sent it in for inspection, software issue - reach out to their support. t could be a multitude of reasons but those are my first thoughts
