A breakdown of this would be awesome! beautiful :)

I don't think I've ever heard a more realistic orchestral piece of this scale, and that's not something I say lightly. Your writing chops are top notch, that goes without saying, but your orchestration and sample/programming mastery is what really made my jaw drop, that's just on another level. There's SO much to pull apart and study there, I wouldn't even know where to start. You could literally make a semester course out of this piece alone and the programming behind it. Just exceptional overall, that's a hell of a skillset you've developed.

I don't know what's more jaw-dropping: this piece of music or the fact your DAW is playing all layers flawlessly together without disturbances or spikes :D

Sound amazing, brilliant job! Wow!

Two new Blakus vids in a week! We are getting spoiled!

It's scary how talented you are. The god of orchestral mockup work returns :)

Breathtaking! Please do a walkthrough! ❤

I keep coming back to this piece, just because it's such a treat to listen to - the harmonies, the orchestration, the soaring melody, everything. Particularly a big fan of those Williams-esque woodwind flourishes peppered throughout, but especially at the climax. Absolutely gorgeous work!

Amaaaaaaaaaaaazing !!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!!! Couldn't wait to praise your ART before even finishing listening ! Pacific Strings seems a HELL of a LIBRARY right ?

I keep coming back to this

This is unreal ..what a talent

Mockups don't get more realistic than this!!!

Those transitions! How natural they sound belies your clever orchestration that’s gone into this short cue, but certainly helped by the strings. I just bought them the other day and what really does it for me is what a joy they are to compose with.

You never fail to amaze, Blake

you've really nailed the williams sound!

I have no idea about the technical side of things, Blake…. but I do know that this moved me to tears. Thank you for sharing. It is beautiful.

This is absolutely magnificent Blakus. Your music that you have written, the orchestration, the midi performance, are all superb! I think this is probably the most realistic midi performance I've ever heard using orchestral samples. Thank you for sharing this👏

just jaw-dropping beautiful. Amazing work Blakus!

I absolutely love this..... like this is beyond fantastic work. I am honestly happy that you are likely busy with actual work so these little side pieces aren't as frequent as they used to be, however, I need more Blakus music and "behind the scenes" in my life. There's something crazy wonderful about not only hearing your music but also SEEING it. Fantastic work as always!

I think this might have sold me on Pacific Strings over The Hanz Zimmerman Orchestra bundle.

Wow. Simply superb. :) (That brass sounded freakin' awesome too!)

Stunningly good work, Maestro Blake!

This leaves me speechless, brilliant writing

Has the realistic fullness I haven't heard in a mockup before!

So that’s what Pacific can sound like after mucking around 😉 Great work man! Would you consider giving a breakdown? I’d love to see whatever sorcery is going on behind these VIs

you are a beast bro! respect!

Saw this on the facebook group and it sounds really lovely. Great job all around.

Oh my gooooood Stooop iiit! SO amazing. *amn. 10/10. Amazing balance and orchestration.

mindbogglingly good. Thanks for sharing

This is excellent. Nicely done.

Very convincing, Great job.

This is gorgeous, man!! You are an absolute master

This is next level

I always find myself laughing in despair when you do demos like this cause I'm just like how the F does he do make everything sound soo dam good! amazing as always dude...gonna go cry now haha

Gorgeous cue. I got that John Williams vibe.. especially from bar 30 and onward... beautiful piece and awesome mix.

You are a genius! I congratulate you!

Gorgeous demo

Simply amazing...

very cool!

Bravo!!!!

I can't even believe this. More!!! Also a breakdown or something would be awesome. Of anything you do. (when all the bass drops out and there's the little brass anthem 💋)

Absolutely amazing, I want to have midi for harmony study :)

beautiful!

Always prefered contextual demos, that one sounds bloody good! always amazed by your brass programming and sound though and that Strezov Flute still rules !

Awe-inspiring, Blake!

That's quite competently composed. Well done..

holy jesus! great work, great library!

Loved it when I first heard it earlier today. Wish you had streamed writing it. 😢

Sounds great, nice to see you upload man.

Love this one, mate.

Fantastic ❤❤❤❤

Amazing piece!

Fantastic work!

Epic mix too 🤌🏼

Man your channel is very inspiring to me as a composer, why you are not submitting videos as before? :( I feel somehow like I have a personal connection with you as I have spent hours before watching your videos and listen to you speaking. and the Australian accent is just a cherry on the top hehehe

You're so cool. Good lord this sounds amazing

incredible work as always!

you're a genius

impressive!!

Wow this is wonderful! Great work!

Gorgeous orchestration, theme and overall treatment! Really made me curious to checkout pacific strings library. Keep up the awesome work! best, GS

OK, they sound great, that's a given, but more and more I realize it's the indian, not the arrow... the composition and exquisite programming and the dynamics you meticulously work out would make a kazoo sound like an orchestra. Then you throw in something like Pacific Strings which clearly has tone and programmability (forgive me, I don't own it... my life savings is sitting in OT's vault, lol), and you come up with a piece like this... wow. Would this even need to be recorded live for whatever it's written for? This sounds better than some live orchestra pieces I've heard in the past. Well done man.

Incredible!

Incredible

nicely done!

Ho-ly. Fantastic dude

Beeeeeeautiful!

You are the best!~

Jesus, that’s a comprehensive cue…

Seriously awesome work. It feels very magical and inspiring. What's your general thought process whenever you're choosing chords? Does the melody come first or the chords?

I'm on the fence, having a number of PS libraries too. I keep teetering towards BS con sordino but then you keep yanking my chain back here. Great writing...and the strings sound great too :)

great,..!!

Sounds amazing. On my puny iPhone speakers…

Marvellous!!! Which library did you use beyond Pacific Strings? The entire Pacific one? It's fantastic!!!

Any chance you could release the battlefront 2 trailer music ?

Nice work mate :)

Incredible work!!!

Have you seen the new "Dungeons & Dragons" movie, Blakus? Its main theme sounded eerily familiar, haha. I know it can only be a coincidence, but was confused for a second watching it nonetheless. Fantastic track!

goood

I just purchased Pacific Strings and referenced you :) What other libraries are you using with it here?

Hi Blakus, Pacific Strings sound fantastic here. Thank You very much for sharing this video. Oh.. and It would be interesting to know what the other libraries you used here for Brass, Woodwinds in this track that work very nicely with Pacific Strings. Cheers, Muziksculp

Great theme...you should use it in some good movie or game!!

Nice bass drum sound. What's the TS library?

Blakus and Brass - name a more iconic duo

Also just wanted to ask, whats the amazing brass instruments used in this demo that really complement Pacific well?

Wow What reverb is that???

Can you tell me please ?

What did you do in the past 2 years that your compositional skills skyrocketed exponentially? Like, the complexity of your last compositions are like the ones of JW, JP. What courses i can take to learn that? That's what i want to achieve...

Or what instrument is ?

Master, how can I find that efx that sounds like a huge sub?

👍👍👍

Cinematic Voice: _Beyond imagination_ _where magic becomes truth_ _there exist a crystal castle_ _where lives the dynasty of the children dreams_ ....(more nice words and CGI shots) _This Christmas_ , _join to the great adventure adventure in_ .....title.....: _The Crystal Castle_ _Only on cinemas and Imax_

Damnn what kind of Brass Libraries did you use here? They sound as amazing as the Strings

Lovely stuff. Are you still using VEP or similar these days or hosting Kontakts in Cubase? If in cubase do you go for the 1 instance of Kontakt per instrument kinda thing (like do you use multi-articulation patches and go the Expression Mapping route, or do you prefer to split out artics into their own instance? I'm just getting back into Cubase after a long time using Ableton and am wondering how best to set up the fundamentals of a modest template - I reckon you're the man!

What nice one, wasn't expecting so much depth, for what project is this for?

How do you get those low “Easter Island” hits without peaking? It sounds so clean and powerful, while not being muddy at all!

I went and bought it, it's your fault! ;-)

what are all the other instruments/vsts? Amazing work btw!

WOWWWWWWW

You must be work in hollywood
