Simon, please do not stop what you do here, it is always a great pleasure to see what you achieve and advise. Cheers, Angelo

I don't read notation and play music by ear. But I can imagine the sound and the dynamics I need to arrange a song. And then there's a time when we need to collaborate with our friends who depends on score notations to be able to play together. These video helps me a lot. Bcoz all I ever need is to play and write all the score with midi notes and convert it to score sheets.

For a tutorial, this is really a beautiful piece.

Calm, clear, orderly and very useful, please continue with similar content.

Beautiful. I just discovered your channel and immediately subscribed after 1 video. Absolutely excellent and helpful! Thank you so very much!

😮These combination of strings blew my mind of peaceful feeling to another dimension. I close my eyes and I can see my wife and daughter beside me I walk in heaven. What a trip was this Simon😀🎌 Thanks Simon...Well done 👍 you deserve many tomzsp 👍👍👍

Thanks

Wow, i have played cello for over 18 years, the accuracy of the parts played are spot on. You even put in slurs, or slurs were generated automatically into the sheet music having everything played on one bow. Fantastic!

thanks for sharing bro, i wan looking to learn how to write cinematic strings but could not find how until i saw this video and i can see now how this maybe fit into my music.

This was so much help. I was pretty much stuck in thinking celli are for bass notes, and the 2nd violins and at the lowest the violas should do the chords. This was eye opening, and your result is stunning!

Thank you for this tutorial on writing a Christmas Song!🌿💕

Excellent use of the chord track! Keep up the good work Simon-and thanks.

Thank’s❤

Great video, thank you for sharing! Wish I saw that prior to my project just wrapping up, but will implement on next one!

Beautiful piece!

So glad I found your page mate, I'm learning heaps. Though sometimes it is a little difficult to transpose what you are doing into the Reason Daw, I'm happy to persevere. Would it be possible for you to give the time signature and tempo when you are giving examples please? Many thanks, from Cornwall, UK.

Great content Simon! Thank you very much!

What are pre requisites to becoming a composer?

Thank you , very helpful. Can you make a video about how to compose horror music by using orchestral instruments?

Hello Simon! I just subscribed to your channel about 24 hours ago and am fascinated by how much you have to offer for composing! I was wondering though, is there a way to stop the “Subscribe” gif once a person is subscribed? It does pop up too often and is moderately distracting. But, if there is no remedy I will continue to watch and learn because you provide a wealth of valuable instruction. Thanks for you videos, Gianni❤

Hi.... I am highly inspired by your music & videos... I started learning piano but then eventually my interest in multi instrumental music evolved a lot... And hence right now i am working on my transcribing capabilities... Also i am wondering if i must sell off my digital piano and buy a midi controller because i feel the keys on a digital piano are not suitable to play everything... Would you help me with some suggestions/advice? Also i am confused between digital paino/midi controller and an arranger keyboard

Can you do a video for brass

hi Simon, this is such an amazing video... your videos helped me when i started my composing journey about a year or 2 ago and very thankful for your guidance. i am curious though about where you put each part of the strings section for your Stereo mixes (for headphones/speakers)? thanks

Could you create a video comparing different DAWs for orchestral composition? Id like to get into composing but don't know what DAW to commit to.

Which vst do you use for the Celli?

Hello :) it would have been very helpful to point out which note in which measure in which instrument-track was wrong. i couldn't find any differences to the first video yet.

I would imagine this concept can apply to other instrument groups as well? Or is there a different way you would go about brass for example?

what this program?

With bbcso did you also use 2 libraries to thicken? Ex viola long and a staccato patch from a different library?

Sounds like journey from the destiny 2 soundtrack

I'm going to report you,for making composition videos that are too good XDXDXD

To my ears BBC discover sounded professional and better than CSS

3:30 Is this a pure MIDI composing/arranging tutorial, or fo you intent to be played by a real orchestra later? That cello part with those chors sounds great here, but, in a real orchestra would sound very "dirty" and "fat", and it would be necesary to delete maybe 1 or two voices for clarity and clean sound. You've got violas there. You can double cellos by themselves (cellos playing same notes low and high), and then, violas playing the notes you removed from cellos. Nevertheless, you are already doubling notes there by the double bases, so mmm... The piece works, but I think the sound resulting is very very split. Down, bass and cello make it sound very gross at the end, and on the upper parts, they sound very distant from the lower voices. I would be more balanced if celli and viola are modified.

Thankyou Simon!! Can you please upload a Mixing and Mastering Videos .
