Thank you Christopher! :)

And I LOOOOOOVE the fact that you're using subtle de-tuning to give it an edge!

Thank you Zahari! :) Appreciate that!

Thank you! :)

I would start with Walter Piston, specially with the orchestration part, then move to Korsakov, then Adler :)

Thank you very much :)

Haha bro! :) Thank you!

Thank you! :) I might export the midi and upload, not sure. Will let you know if so.

Thanks! :) So for the reverb here I only use logics own stuff. Space Designer - Dream hall for the long tail, and Big Drums for some room. For mastering I don't really use much. Sometimes I'll add some EQ (SSL G Channel) and OTT on the output bus just for some added shimmer, but other than that I don't really add much to the output.

I just use it to brighten the track a bit :) I'll boost some of the highs with it to make it "shine" a bit more

Hey Harsha. Yes :) Some sample libraries have auto-divisi meaning if you play chords it will split it up according to how many players you have, but if it's a normal string patch then if you play chords you will get an unrealistic amount of players. So by simply choosing violins 2 patch you will now be back to a normal amount of players. If you need more divisi then you might not have another choice than simply using violins 1 patch again, unless there is a patch called vln1 divisi, which I've never seen.

Didn't I mention all the libraries I used in the video? :)

Not that I remember...You mentioned some. But I will try and watch again. @@dbeijbom

I’m not in front of logic atm so don’t know exactly, but right click the metronome button and go to settings, it’s one of the tick boxes

@@elliotnicklinmusic Awesome, thanks!

Hey man! Thanks! :) Well honestly I am not sure myself. I think I would put the tempo markings on the score and then just let the conductor lead the way, or simply let those cues be free form, using punches and streamers instead of click. Let me know if you yourself do it and how you did it :)

Thanks for the answer. I just put the original tempo marking and the players always play to the click. There always seems to be a loss of the "push-pull-sway" thing going on. Everything has to be so rigid, or so it seems, in the studio. It all has to be lined up strictly on the the grid. I think that' the billion dollar question. John Williams' name always gets used but if you see the old sessions with him conducting the Star Wars session, you see he's conducting to the picture and he controls that in real time. There's the push-pull thing happening. I don't think we have the option to do that today. "Let's try this out." Can you imagine having the luxury of trying something out with the orchestra? Wow.... I'm not asking that question enough. There has to be a better way. Seeing your mock-up with the tempo track exposed made me think, "Wait a minute........." Thank you! Again....stuff sounds great, man. Thanks for the music and making the light go on.

I actually use a 2010 Mac Pro 8 core. 48 gb ram :) I’m pretty sure your iMac can handle it. Depends on your ram size.

I'm almost done with the trailer course and if you take note of everything he is doing and understand the why, you will take a lot from it for sure.

Hi! Ok, so in my trailer music course I don't go over the basics of theory or harmony, those kinds of courses you could check out over at Evenant.com, some friends of mine that offer great courses. My course if more about my approach to trailer music, where I explain some of the basics that are needed to make the track licensable, and also my personal way of writing, with lots of walkthroughs showing how my tracks are built. Yes, 32gb are definitely enough. I only recently got 32 myself :)

@@dbeijbom yeah thank you

@@dbeijbom do you plan any other music courses? I have seen some people asking you?

Thank you! :) I'm using a Mac pro 2009 - 8 core 2.2ghz, 32gb Ram.

Do you use logic pro?

Daniel Beijbom unfortunately I don’t I’m on pc. I’m using Reaper at the moment

I did a quick test with Valhalla Room and it sounds just as good, perhaps even better :) Here: www.dropbox.com/s/vd6isqzbst0o72b/Stargate%20Theme%20Mockup%20Valhalla%20Room%20test.wav?dl=0

Wow. Thanks so much! That does sound really incredible! Did you use Valhalla the same as in this video? 3 different sends to 3 different reverb tails?

No this is just 2 sends. One of them goes to valhalla (just the standard preset, but I reduced the decay so it doesn't ring out too long) I use that send on 100%, then I use another send to any random reverb with a long tail so it rings out :)

Thank you Andrew! I appreciate it! Yes, this was done by ear, so I'm sure there are many things I didn't get right :)

I've been doing this since about 2011 :) But before that I would occasionally play around with Garritan Personal Orchestra back in 2004.

Haha best way to do it :)
