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.

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❤
@composingacademy8270 Жыл бұрын
Hi Gianni, my thanks for subscribing and getting in touch. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way to get rid of the subscribe animation, once a video is uploaded. I'll admit that when I first started uploading videos, I watched others and saw that they often used a similar animation, but over time I can see that it is distracting. During my recent videos I've made sure to limit the number of subscribe animations, and I think in this String one, there aren't any? The more videos I make, the more I learn about what people/don't like. Thank you for your feedback and kind words!

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

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
@composingacademy8270 Жыл бұрын
Thank you so much for your kind words! As you probably saw I was using mostly Cinematic Strings 2 - these come 'pre panned' so the various instruments are in their correct position in the stereo field, from a conductor in an orchestra's perspective. For libraries which have all of the instruments in the centre by default, I would pan the 1st Violins on the left hand side, the 2nds still on the left but a little more to the centre. Then the Violas I would keep in the centre, with the Celli off centre to the right and then the Basses further round to the right as well. I hope that helps!

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.
