As the song goes, 'Music was my first love and it will be my last'. I'm pushing 70 now with a basic DAW setup, a backlog of unrecorded songs and instrumentals and a predisposition to prevarication as I have no deadlines or clients to meet. Your output is inspirational. I might actually finish something this year.

I’m glad to hear composers also get to work with an unlocked edit. It’s been the bane of our existence as VFX people, these last few years. We have to be creative in a way that we can composit and worse come to push render and retime stuff. This is why I adore indies more creative input, more efficient and set way of working.

Thank you, Guy - I've always enjoyed watching you go through the creative process, even when you're getting a little frustrated. Happy to watch all day!

I so relate to the conversations you have with yourself while composing.

Amazingly useful vid - even tho I’m a Logic user, there are lots of super useful workflows I’ll be using in future. You’re a very entertaining, funny presenter also 😁 Thanks!

Wish I could watch you over the shoulder like that all day long. Highly inspiring! Thank you for those videos!

Great that you break off to inspect the bird-life. I do exactly the same. Spotted a goldcrest from my study the other day.

This really is a bit o' fun, indeed. Your musical intuition is remarkable. Thanks for doing these videos.

Really encouraging to see a pro struggle. Thanks for sharing.

I have no clue why I'm watching this, nut it is fascinating. So much skill not just with the music side but also the DAW side. I recently bought a small midi and installed a DAW and realized how hard it is to make a sound that's worth a damn. I wish I knew what you are doing.

that was very interesting, really enjoyed; the time flew by. Good multi-cam work too

I Gatta stop producing my music while watching & listening to Guy scoring his films on my other monitor ... I literally was looking for rogue notes that may have snuck into my “180 Bars of Solitude” song😂😂 especially the last few bars of Guys score😂😂... cheers from Canada 🇨🇦.. Birder since 1960’s.. waiting for my “regular” RubyThroated Hummingbirds to return to my farm from SouthAmerica amongst other AM birds & dozens of local Canadian birds

You had me at the 'Tom Cruise running...' :)

Really useful , funny and enjoyable ! Thanks Guy !

This serves to reinforce, although modern sounds are awesome, the tech always gets in the way of a good idea. Workflow is everything.

Your work is great, you are a master

Really great

"I just might chop the wooosh" quote of the week for me. haha

Great video, learning a lot from this. Out of context though, how do we get film productions to approach us to score their movies? Or how do we approach them? Cheers.

Great video as usual.

Thanks!

Interesting and great as usual. Thank you, Guy, for sharing your "secrets". Your comment about being dismayed over how long it was taking you, though, worries me, because from my perspective you are very fast at this. As I'm working on assignments, it takes me 2 - 3 hours to produce 3 seconds of music. I guess with experience it gets faster?

Woah this is so interesting to watch! Thanks! Also, WINDOWS 7 STILL???

1:45 that made my day

Looking forward to part 2

Merci beaucoup!! so good

I'd love to score films, I always default to using orchestra and not considering other elements, could you maybe suggest some Kontakt Instruments, other than the ones you've used.

🙌🏾

I looked up the price of Guy's keyboard, he has a whopping 2000 dollar keyboard!

Those 2 videos are REALLY interesting, thanks a lot for such a lesson! We never stop learning, do we? Oh, and I wanted to let you know that your sentence "It's gonna be a DISASTER" will become one of my standard in normal conversation 😂😂😂 And I'm italian! You look like a very expert, clever and nice man, keep going with your great job!

"If you've had a bad day, it does make you feel better to start writing. Even if what you're writing might not pass muster in the morning."

I learn a lot from your thought process as well as from the steps taken in the creation process. In this video, I notice that you were struggling somewhat to gel things together - could it have been the piece, or a sluggish day, or possibly your DAW? - personally, I tried Cubase 3 times in my music creation career and threw it out the window due to enormous frustrations with it. I use PreSounus Studio 1 which I find the fastest for laying down ideas in the creative process. In past videos, you used Digital Performer - I was wondering whether you had an opinion or preference of DP to Cubase - or does the DAW matter? Thank you!

🤔🤔 how do you set the key editor such that it auto quantizes to the next note spot on the grid when you are recording?

Good "look over the shoulder", Guy, cheers. Not very convinced of that piano cluster, though...

What software is this?

can I use LA Modern Percussion with Apple's Logic DAW? Anybody know?

Why did you switch to Cubase and not Logic? Great vids!!!

How did you get your pc slave machine and master machine to share a screen?

How many computers do you use for your Vienna Ensemble setup ?

AAAH!!!!

I like the piano cluster in general, but the way it's played the first two times sounds way too much as if this was a early 90's house track. Way too funky. The way it's played afterwards (the little 5 note motive that's repeated) is much better because it's more eerie.

Where's the 8bit?

How did you know it was reel 4?

Do u ever drink coffee and does it make your brain work different

Was Guy not married here ? He doesn't seem as happy but that would be backwards ?!

Yep my life sucks....rsrs

Pleeeeeeeeeease change your click sound.

Video is very useful... but you know what ? you talk too much
