I know I’m not the first to mention this, but this piece reminds me a ton of Ori and the Blind Forest. Gareth Coker is my all time favorite composer, so this is a huge compliment!

I really think you could have written music for the videogame "Ori & the Will of the Wisps". Your composition/track is really in the style of Gareth Coker. The use of choir harmonizing with the strings and the pulsing celeste and harp on top hits me with nostalgia... you don't know how much fun I had with that game!

Lovely video Zach! Can you tell us what the neckband is called and the purpose of it? Is it to control the vibrato or velocity?

Hi, What midi breath do you use? thanks.

This is incredible work, I just recently acquired a midi keyboard and have been struggling to find a decent place to get VSTi’s like virtual instruments of the sorts for music composition, where would I look?

Thank you for the very inspiring and wonderful video! A technical question: around 1:50 how do you record the strings sections all together and have the voices splitted between the tracks? (using divisimate or some other logic functions?) Thank you!

Thanks! I was using Divisimate in this video :)

Hi there, what is the thing you are using with your mouth? I'm guessing it is for expression? I took a look on your gear list and couldn't see it but it looks like a really interesting tool. Great video by the way! I would love to see something on how you mix on the fly (particularly the EQing) as that is personally a weak spot and I can see that you have a great ear for it.

Heya Marley, it's the TEC Control breath controller! Highly recommend it :) And great suggestion, will add that to my upcoming topics!

I've really wanted to get into digital composing for a while now. I've got FL Studio but not sure which orchestral vst's to get that don't cost a fortune. Any suggestions? Also, what would be a good midi keyboard for a decent price?

@ZachHeyde 2 жыл бұрын

You could try EastWest's Composer Cloud subscription, or grab Spitfire's orchestra for around $50 (I think)! MIDI keyboards vary--just make sure it has a mod wheel!
