"I've gotta get some reverb on that, or I'm gonna die." I want this on a T-Shirt.

Officially the funniest, most entertaining and likable guy on the Internet. And on top very informative and educational as well. Thanks a bunch for all of that, please don't ever stop doing what you're doing!

This guy is my absolute favorite. Makes me laugh, entertains me, and teaches me things at the same time. Perfection.

I wish I could bathe in this man’s energy forever. Such positive vibes.

“Today there was a guy in Carluccio’s staring at me whilst playing a small keyboard... It made me feel a little strange”.

What a great idea, Guy and so brave too! I love the fact that everyone got on with what they were doing in the café and were not disturbed by a manic, musical genius creating a beautiful piece of music. Bravo!!

As someone that almost exclusively produces inside of coffee shops on a laptop, I enjoyed this video!

Honestly, I'm here for that lemon tart.

I really love your energy !! You're such a positive person thank you man !!

I was just happy to see you spending more time on Logic Guy, good job dude!!!

That was actually quite relaxing. Your enthusiasm and joy for your cafe composition is indeed something to aspire to. Thanks for sharing a bit of your day with us. It was fun!

Thank you for your music and your videos. That was amazing and it did fit the place.

Lovely piece! And also this video put smiles my face, thank you :)

I know this is an old video but this is one of the many reasons why I love Guy so much. He creates so easily (or at least he makes it look that way :D) with such ease and joy it amazes me and inspires me to grow. Love taking the short course he has as well!

This man is sooo musical😊 Even his humor))) Thanks for content, congrats with buying the new Mac!

I just discovered you and I can't believe my luck! I am just starting out in composition and am looking for some software to start out on. Your enthusiasm is infectious! Thank you!

Too good. Thanks again. I enjoy learning the way you teach.

Brilliant as usual ! Thanks !, Guy !

That was just right to enjoy while I had my coffee this morning. Thank you.

Love it, love it Guy! do not stop doing these vids!

Would love to see the clever mixing and EQ version of this, and also would LOVE to see the MIDI files switched for BBC Symphony to compare the quality with the factory samples.

Just revisited this somewhat older post for inspiration. Great tip on using double reverb. I have a collection of open source orchestral libraries which I couldn’t make sound much better with reverb, but I never thought of using TWO reverbs. Now they sound much better. Thanks,

Just loved it. I may have enjoyed watching this as much as you enjoyed your tart! 😀

Nice to see your process and bringing in some coffee shop inspired feelings and ambience , the result evokes a little Christmas or autumn style with its pace and instrumentation very nice thanks for sharing

instantly hooked. I've watched most videos. Thank you very mutch these videos are very helpful, inspirating, educating. Thanks.

Really good I can just imagine this if the place had Christmas decorations and people were coming in from the cold very festive sounding

You are simply awesome. How generous to share your vast knowledge, professional experience and encourage us to jump in and have a go. You are so much fun, enormously inspiring and incredibly amazing. Thank you so much.

great piece! i loved it!!

What a lovely gentleman! And how essentially English he is, embodying all we love about the culture of the sceptered isle. (Minus the football hooliganism, of course.) Cheers, dear fellow!

Just love what you do . . .inspiring for me.

Apart from modelling synths from scratch with the logic Es2 and such, my fave is Alchemy for the ready-to-go musical soundscapes that fill things in just ‘so’ or when you’re in a hurry :) Not feeling the best over the past week. Thanks for the informative giggle, Guy and for the Webinar last week.

I love this man and his exuberance- and can see myself enrolling in a course! as with any different persons perspective i could hear many different melodies and rhythms in the café chatter and would have come up with something 12/8 melody wise based on peoples chatter- easy to say from a sofa! great stuff

I love your passion and sense of adventure. I hope you are enjoying your new friend immensely ❣

Although i don't make this type of music it is still such an inspiration to me. Thanks Guy for making these videos

Brilliant and witty to boot! Great fun and wonderful instruction by example. As a DAW user initiate, pardon my jealousy of your command of the tools of your craft. Composing on a tiny keyboard is mind blowing.

your work is amazing, thanks for sharing

Absolutely love this dude💯💯

Oooh, it's even scoring what you play... I always love your compositions. This one is so pretty, sounds like the little birds feeding in my backyard. I was getting some really nice lyrics and vox lines to it. Originally I felt inclined toward a jazzy kind of vibe from the cafe scene, mellow alto sax, percussion, chord progressions... but love what turned out.

Uniquely presented... and very, very nice

Simply inspiring!

Perfect use of the sticker. I’ll probably give the ones I have to some students.

Your charisma is unique Guy. Thanks for share your knowledge always! ;))

Very nice piece of music. Sounds very much like authentic instruments to me.

Your music is so emotional and beautiful :) thanks for good music~

Always positive and enjoyable to watch...

“Run Forrest, run!” I really enjoyed the video. It’s fun and educational and positive but i couldn’t help thinking of that theme listening to this.

"I'm having a serious attack of the lion king" brilliant

I keep coming back to this video, this is so entertaining. Do you need to connect your mac to the power? Could I write music with my midi keyboard on the beach?

FANTASTIC

Xmas came early :D Awesome!

Such a RuneScape vibe 😄 lovely video!

Completely pointless comment, but....I just ran across another video on your channel, really enjoyed it, your videos incredible! super inspiring. Then clicked on this video, recognised the area you are in immediately, blew my mind. I live down the road. Bloody hell. Its a shame that Attibassi isn't there anymore. Thanks for the inspiring and entertaining videos, thank you!

The difference between a begginer composer and a professional one , is the workflow. While the first spend hours and hours in a loop trying to make it sound better (loop syndrome) , the second already finished one track, because he composed fast...without think too much if it’s good or not, or the prejudice from others. I include myself sometimes be trapped in 8 bars , ( layers, layers, and more layers of sounds) and don’t know how to continue after that. In Cubase folder I can have more than 1000 unfinished ideas!! But then I try to use this technique as you use , and many professional composers, and try to compose something FAST and FINISHED. Thanks to this, I could finish many tracks, and it really works!! THANK YOU ALWAYS GUY!;)))

You are freaking awesome in every single way

Guy, it is a lot of fun watching Your videos...Speccialy at moment, when deadline for my work is in 3 days...:) . ThanX

Well Master Guy, that was great fun indeed! I might just have to but one of those Akai mini keyboards too! Quick question, how are you capturing the sound/screen video of Logic from the Mac? Hello from cold and wet Ireland! ☘️💪🏽👀👍🏽☘️

What a catchy little tune Guy. It’s 12.30am here in the Barossa Valley in Australia and I’m about to head to bed. Cafe dreams coming I think...with a music score! 😋

Watching you It feels like everything is positive and happy in the world.

Marvellous! 😊

My thing for cafe sketching is either pencil and paper, or creating midi mockups with Dorico, it’s killer! I’ve noticed that having ambient sound and music actually helps me get inspiration lol! If you haven’t checked out that program, give it a shot, the free version just came out!

I really love your videos. There are fantastic . Did you ever try the Logic Strings plugin ?

Really fun to watch. You were definitely influenced by your surroundings. Which shows that getting out and about can bring in ideas you would never have sitting in your room/at home. Would like to hear this piece as is but with sounds from the BBC SO for example

I like it Guy, Music for Coffee Shops! Limiting yourself in this way often forces you to be creative. 😁

Loved this video Guy, reminds me of some of my times. I used to lug my MacBook Pro 💻 around with a mini keyboard 🎹 and headphones to public libraries and cafes but I found it too cumbersome, now I just take my iPad Pro with Cubasis and GarageBand and the Apple ear buds and i find it much easier and better for mobile/portable operation. I use the virtual screen keyboard and use chord pads to play the chords and then edit on screen. The iPad Pro seems to be a more fun way to make music in my experience, and probably quicker too when mobile/portable.

I like your Video, they are so diffrent ... yesss 👍😉. May be I don't understand every single Word but the message is clear. Greetings from Germany

I love. you and your videos!

I used to dabble and especially explore ideas on the laptop (with a Launchpad and a notes mode, or just the qwerty) at a coffee shop where I’d just set aside the time to be stuck in that situation. I found the change of atmosphere to be inspiring. I had gone a good number of years without that routine and missed it quite a bit. About a month ago I’ve begun getting back to this practice every couple weekends. Instead of a laptop, I can now do things on my iPhone (incredible the possibilities on portable devices today). It feels like being out at a place with a buddy, and having a conversation with them. You would never allow something to interfere with your ‘conversation’. At home it is too easy to imagine you’re stuck and take breaks haha.

you are so funny - I love to watch you in your vids. you could also go on stage of "New faces" LOL

If you have a powerfull Macbook pro and an ssd nvme you can use CUBASE and most of the ALL Kontakt Library pretty much as well as you do in your studio

What a wonderful thing to film. Thank you. I never considered the real life application of writing music in a live setting, so often I am playing some sort of known tune live, but the two aren’t the same are they?

Would be perfect as a theme song of some rpg farm style video game :-)

Amazing! Great video Guy, thanks for sharing this with us. That must have been interesting composing & also talking to your camera in a public place like that :) Perhaps you could do a second one of these videos trying out the factory sounds you get in Kontakt 5 Full (Not Komplete, just the factory sounds when you get the full version of Kontakt)? I believe most of the orchestral stuff in there is actually from VSL too!

A joy. Wish I had the balls to do that (and even a bit of the creative talent would help). Hugely entertaining.

Simply wonderful! Let's make this a regular thing, and "get together" for coffee, tarts, and music once a month. Just lovely.

Nice vid, I do this often....Logic has new sounds in strings and brass, I don’t use them but they are supposed to be ok with more control, I think they are are called Studio strings and studio brass. The old orchestral sounds in logic are supposed to from the Vienna Library, but cannot confirm this! Anyway very nice video and good courses you have as I’ve taken a few!

Check out the new studio strings that come with Logic now - sounds WAY better than the old EXS strings. Runs in their own plugin, so although it’s actually EXS underneath, you can’t load them from the EXS menu! The new studio horns are also half decent! Also has it’s own instrument plugin.

Interested in what software your using to sync everything.......I.e. the music...video....screen capture... love your videos!

Great!

@Guy Michelmore, a laptop and a small midi keyboard enter a bar.... :D (sorry I couldn't help it)... You, Sir, are a GENIUS - you are a creator, an entertainer and a teacher, you make wonderful music, and you also seem to be having fun while at it...

Min datter og jeg likte veldig godt å se denne episoden.

That lovely little melody would make a great 16 bar loop Guy :)

Ha, I was totally thinking about doing this but with with my 49 key! Chuckled that you still do the conducting thing when you listen back, even in the coffee shop. That would draw some funny looks I guess.

Great fun, thoroughly enjoyed watching this Guy. I love the idea of sketching out songs in different places to see what you come up with. Pleased to see that the new laptop keyboard wasn't swimming in coffee by the end of it too.

Just would like to let You know that I stumbled upon Your Channel. I've been watching Numerous of Your Videos. You Are Awesome & Very Personable. I really enjoy Your Videos. I'm Sorry to hear about Your Loss on Your Computer in LA as You mentioned, I believe, yet nevertheless Congrats on The New & more Powerful Computer. 😊 Also I Love Hans Zimmer & between Him & now You Sir, Yous are my Heroes, for Composing. It's really "Super Duper" that You have a Life Size cut out figure of Hans Zimmer there. Haha. I see You're from Britain. London? Just curious. Anyway. I See That You're a Very Prolific & Very Skilled Composer, Wow You really Know Your stuff & even especially In Using MIDI on The Computer & adding things. I just recently obtained my Very first MIDI Keyboard. It's an Arturia Keylab 49 Key. I've Never used a MIDI yet. I hope I can use it Ok. I still have to even Unbox it let alone set it up & start getting Familiar with it. Yes I Compose also. ThankYou for Your Videos. GOD Bless You Sir. ✝️😊

This is the best MacBook unboxing video!! LOL

That’s an epic intro!

Hahahaha i love your videos;;; cheers from France !

Very nice😊

Great way to start a Monday morning. Thanks, Guy. It always amazes me how you can make something simple sound so incredible. Curious, though, why did you use Logic instead of Cubase? The Halion samples are reasonably good. Is it a Mac vs PC situation?

Lemon tart song hhhhhh very funny, but you do a very good job 👍

I watched you enough now Guy that I'm beginning to read where you're going next Yes! :) (Although I thought for sure you were going to live sample the room and lightly drop in some conversation and silverware clinking in the mix). And I think you're right, if you gave an inspired musician only three samples they would give you a composition!

How in the world you come up with such a beautiful melody line??? Simple and tender... and just from the Logic library!!! Now... put all that with the SPITFIRE BBC SYMPHONY and share us the result!!! Well done from Paraguay!!!

Do you have a goPro to your left as well as the one on your right? I really like the music you came up with there. These are all great vids! I'm glad nothing spilled on the new laptop. A friend of mine and her partner do big-time work with film. Her partner had his macbook pro at a restaurant or cafe one day for some meeting he was in and needed it for, and the waitress spilled coffee onto it - right into the keyboard part so it went inside. It was instantly ruined. He had to go the the Apple store right after that to buy a new one. I flashed to that whole story when I saw where this brand new beauty was going! Glad it made it out dry!

Dont know what button you pressed at 16:03 but I looked on my copy of logic, but instant blonde woman appearing I cant seem to find in the drop down menu, that made me giggle,

Just right for that last minute Christmas special request

The first marimba attempt was catching the atmosphere of the cafe best: smartphone ringtones. xD

One suggestion for such excursions and to expedite the process is to create a template with some basic instruments already in place. I also don't know how far you are into Logic by now, but to switch between the samples from the same folder of EXS, instead of digging through the menus, you can click on the plus and minus buttons next to the sample name. And also, check the factory Studio Strings and Horns that were added maybe a year ago by now. They sound better and can be articulated.

Somehow watching your videos is more soothing than listening to David Attenborough’s voice...

Hello from Tenerife,new on you Channel,love it and i hope learn,please i need one orchestral library and one piano,not expensive of course,love BBC symphony,i play with New York Concert Gran of NI company,very smooth

With the small Akai you are limited to compose in C Major, I think... (?) Would it be a good purchase? It might have maybe more "keys-range" if played with one hand only? Congratulations for the video, made my day :-D
