I've been in a musical rut for a while now and now I finally found my source of inspiration: now, before every session, I watch you composing for about 15 minutes. Your joy and excitement is truly contagious! Plus, I bought me some "biscuits of inspiration" today. That should improve it even more! Thanks for your content, Guy! This is my favourite music-related channel.

Love how he loves to teach! no matter what genre you like, this guy is a legit teacher.

Still relevant 2023. Haha, thanks Guy. I love this channel. Seriously make me laugh while I learn. It's like the best days working in the studio with awesome peeps. Makes writing music/songs the way it should be, an absolute blast!

I can’t get enough of Guy, keep the content coming 🔥

Been over a week since finding you Guy, sure as hell been a WEEK. Thank you.

I spent a long time looking for a good percussion library I like that can do everything I need. Damage 2 is really the nuts. Its inspiring but allows you to get inside and create insane detail too. Great tutorial as always Guy.

Yes Guy, you have become my favorite KZfaq pit stop for info and inspiration. Thanks you immensely.

Really great video, Thank you Guy for taking the time to give this in depth explanation !

It's so nice to see that childish joy emerge at 10:25, you can clearly see Guy has maintained such a passion for music.

Yes please! Aspergers Welcome says it would be great to know of alternative solutions to Kontakt, for us budget restricted, yet enthusiastic composers! Your channel is fantastic.

1:07 13:45 15:13 Ethnic Performance 22:34 What was great about Damage 1 27:23 Sponsor 27:50

Hahaahh I loved the water cup shot after you hit the key for Armageddon

I always see these terrific videos about creating amazing pieces and sounds on these expensive plugins. I'd love to see a video on creating full pieces of music with only free software. Not only do I think it'd be an awesome challenge, but it would drastically in creating scores for student films I'm working on. Thanks Guy! You're the best.

Another GREAT video. Suggestion - I’d love for Guy to make a video about his current all time favorite sample libraries / plugins and why. Keep it up ... I’m learning a lot and having fun doing it.

Informative and entertaining. I'm still looking forward to your take on a Western. No rush.

Man.. I had writers block for 2 weeks trying to come up with an idea for this scene Im working on, I was tinkering with Damage 2.. but was a bit over whelmed with all of the options and trying to decide what to go with...hearing the ethnic, rises, and mids gave me me some cool ideas to finish the music for this scene. This helped my writers block, thank you.

Even after all these years, It's Good to See Cubase 5!

you are an amazing maestro , all your videos are really well made , it is joy to learn from you ,thanks

This is the video I needed today. Great work dude!

Guy gives me life, as well as some of these damage 2 patches phew!

Such a wonderful and creative library, Damage 2!

Kittens dancing on clouds Ocity. HAHAHAHA you're a living Legend

Heavyocity makes the best Instrument Plugins. The quality is great.

Ive been waiting for a video like this! Thank you Guy!

love the way you did the video! Love your energy man!! Brilliant!

One thing i would like you to check out is output’s products. Especially the analog strings, brass and woodwinds, and substance. Spitfire and Output even collaborated to make Overture and there arent any videos that really show what it is.

It's fantastic software. Especially for pros on deadlines. The only downside being that the second you hear it, you know it's Damage and I'm sure 2 will become as ubiquitous as 1 (Typing this as I'm watching and Guy has just said the same thing) So my above is slightly mute now! 😌 As someone with endless time to noodle, I like to find my own bits/samples which I like to manipulate myself but as ever, fantastic products and superbly demonstrated by Guy as usual 👍

Hi there, not related, but! Is there any chance you could do a run down on non-kontakt orchestral software libriaries, instruments (Providers), extra, some of are on very tight budget but still would like to get into classical composition, please. I'm having trouble. Any help would be so much appreciated. I love your video's and am watching them regularly. Thank you Guy, I'm glad you are well :-)

Anxiously waiting for a Damage 2 sale

Your videos are great, thanks! PLEASE put a POP filter though when you speak, listening in headphones one really suffers. Happy new year!

Thankyou for this.

Nice video, as always. You really should try loading all your NKS libraries with the Komplete Kontrol plugin, I am sure that you will enjoy the flashing lights on your S88 even more!!

Love your videos and sense of humor keep the great content coming :)

At 7:40, how do you get the top bar to be in the negatives? Like -1, -2, etc. Also how to add another bar under the bars, of seconds?

The Hello everybody intro is killing me :)

I am watching your fabulous channel since a while and I must admit that I am short from cancelling my subscription for it. Very often it is causing trouble with my wife when some of the gear you use is arriving in my house. Thank god that Damage2 is not visible to my wife as it is downloading right now. I just hope she does not look in the wrong folder in my mailbox though:)

love the 'visual clues'

I'm a new sub... Love the content, and enjoy your creative approach too, but the voice in this specific episode is driving my sub-woofer NUTZ! I think you may have double processed your voice on this one... LOL

Got it on sale! :)

Always great info and passion!

Great Job Guy. The track made me think of that Sherlock Holmes movie with Robert Downey Jr. the part where they are running through the forest. The track could have worked for that with the drum hits being the gunfire or something similar. Really good one this.

I was waiting for this video for a long time because as you said in the last video Rythm is vital and this is IT!btw.. would you have a look on OT Metropolis Ark 4? I just got it and it's astonishing for only 50 Gbs and not much ram.

You’re my teacher.

Please do one on trailer percussion too :) Love you Guy!

Yes...good video tutorial.

"Light and Fluffy-O-city." LMAO!

Relaxing Susanita

I love your content!!

Oo man, i did not realized they released it. I go to buy...

This old man is crazy. Love it! haha

Great special effects! Good fun!! 😂

Thanks Guy

could you make another random genre challenge video, really liked the last one

Your videos are amazing!

Thank you for a great video.

hello Guy, another great video! question: what is the small touch screen with the cubase shortcuts near your keyboard?

I try keepforest RiSENGE it work perfectly with damage 2

Great tutorial

Love the track!

Love this. I was listening on Spotify to the Doctor Strange score. Did you use a real orchestra for that? It's absolutely amazing.

I'm sure you've heard of it Guy, but you should do a video on Friktion Modeled Strings for Reason by Reason Studios. Would love to hear your take on it!

great video can u find some free epic percussion samples. I have been having trouble trying to find free percussion samples.

Guy - how'd you program your Stream Deck to respond the different instruments - seems like each key is a different instrument? Willing to share??? :-). Thanks sir! Always enjoy your vids! Cheers!

Hey Guy! I'm new to your channel, but I quite like the videos I've seen so far! I was wondering roughly how much a Cubase setup like yours would cost? I'm thinking of getting something similar to what you have and I'm wondering if it will already come with a huge library of instruments and sounds, or if I will have to purchase those separately. Thanks!

This would be an ideal lib for Bambi 3. Bambi knows people, you do know that, don't you?

Guy, what would be a good Synth Vst to get started with for film music? Diva? Serum? Zebra 2? Which is the easiest to learn?

Very nice and helpful ..

Guy, an offtopic question, now that u used the s88 for a while.. what's is your opinion about it now?

Great video! I have HZ perc and have been looking for this kind of video! Would you recommend Spitrfire Studio Woodwinds? Currently at sale?

Firstly fantastic job and I’m so excited to get all these new kits. Secondly what’s that black tablet you keep pressing to record?

Hi Guy, I'm trying to decide on a percussion library, and I'm sort of leaning toward either the Native Instruments Symphony Series, or Damage 2, as I'd be able to use both with the free Kontakt player, and I can currently get them for the same price. I'm torn because I'm interested in the organic sound and articulations like tremelos and crescendo rolls I'd get with Symphony Series, but the dramatic stuff, plus things like the reverse cymbal options in Damage 2 are also really appealing. I'm curious if the stuff in Damage 2 can accomplish more or less the same thing (albeit more dramatically) as in the Symphony Series, or if they'd just be entirely different altogether. I'm just starting out with programming this kind of stuff, and I can only afford one of them so it's a tough choice to make.

Guy, what happened to your Mic-sound?

My kontakt window cuts whenever I load a library like damage 2 which causes the kontakt window to increase its size inside cubase. Can anyone help me please?

I'm assuming you can adjust the pitch for percussion that blends tone with The Hammer of God type sounds. Correct?

what vst are you using for those synth pulse sounds?

Thrilling!

How did you bind your streamdeck to render in place. That menu item seems to have no shortcut (really annoying).

What happened to the high end on your mic after you came back inside??? Dropped it for a brighter mic and left it there? Cuz, man that's boomy. Loaded up Ableton and looked at the real time spectrum.. Just about zero energy between 2 and 6 kHz. Recorded a few seconds.. a nice wide boost at 3 kHz makes it much more listenable.

The synth sound reminds of Destiny 2 Soundtrack

Can you make these drums completely dry of reverb? I'm asking coz I'm doing another genre and used to setting more broad (needs to be high Q) reverb groups to instruments to get the same-room feel. Otherwise it gets too chaotic. These drums here feel in another space... separated. Is this actually a problem for professionals (I am not one)? Do they have close mic recordings is what I mean I guess...

Great video.. Loved it.. What's that tablet kinda thing on your right that you use to record.. Please make a video on that.. Is it useful? How does it work? What is it called?

Is this the start of a new craze - KZfaq videos in a car park? ;)

Good review ... alas I kinda lack money to get that thing, ..., now at least

Is there a sound library that includes Guy Excitement Noises?

Hello guy!, I have been keenly following you for a long time now,and I just like that kind of content you offer to us. However I have a video recommendation.I would really like to see a video on "How to go from a piano sketch to a complete orchestral peice". I hope you will see this comment and fulfill this wish of a great fan of yours!🤩🤩🤩. Thank you

Would a 6 core 12 thread pc at around 4.4ghz, 32gb ram, be enough for some classical composition please sir.

Guy, what controller is it on the right hand of your side? You use it for record/stop etc. and it looks so handy!

Small Kittens Dancing on Clouds-CIty

what is Guy's setup?? Can a video be made of this please? :)

Hey Guy, last couple vids your mic audio is super hot at the preamp, causes distortion and is a bit hard to listen to. Just Fyi

I have spitfire Albion one's percussion and Audio Imperia NUCLEUS and also BBC orchestra core library, I have trubble with making percussion recordings with them, so I have been looking at Strike force's percussion and many others! so... Strike force or damage 2? or is there something else I should check out? If some one could give me like a top 5 list of percussion libraries I would be happy

I’m not really sure what this is going to have that the first one didn’t... it was a pretty complete library and I get something different every time I use it.

Do the baywatch theme epic intro percussion line 😍

You can't put an hps filter on your microphone??? 🤦‍♂️

Even heavyocity will not give marketing like this 😂

I have damage 1 and feel like damage 2 is much more advanced in terms of parameters right ?

Hey Guy! What do you think about Komplete 13? It has a lot of good stuff including Noire!

I think you forgot your hi pass filter on your mic 😀

Epic!

Which orchestra bundle would you advise as best price quality stuff? Albion 1 ?
