Nice 💛

SOCAN does pay for commercials that air in Canada but they have to be uploaded to BMAT to receive royalties as of 2022. Almost every country does pay for commercials in their own territory and they will relay the money back to SOCAN to pay you. Commercials aren't always tracked with cue sheets, it's tricky. Every channel uses different services to detect what is airing like soundmouse, BMAT ect..

"I always wanted a pedal steel guitar.." that was always my dream too when i was young. Not in a country style playing way but more like in pop, Jeff Baxter was my hero back then, with his magical playing on the earlier Steely Dan albums. But the future had other plans so i became an more ordinary guitar player. But yesterday i stumbled upon Ink Steel wich was on a discount and fell in love. I cannot read chords, notes or score but im am sure i will find my way with this fantastic plugin. Started to learn about diatonic chords etc. This is fun! Thanks for sharing!

Interesting, but it's funny how so many young people continue trying to re-create music from the past (Disco / 808) instead of trying to compose something new. I've been composing for 50 years and after using Logic's new features, I'm sure it will help young musicians that know nothing about music theory to get something together but I'm not really sure that it is going to improve there musical ability in the long run.

Dope

I purchased Unity nostalgic synth today and not displayed preset in kontakt player 😢 what I do wrong 😑

Thank you for these great suggestions! I'm sort of in "rebuild" mode as a freelance composer. I've had some nice credits in the past and I'm trying to get back into it. I'm not sure the best way to reach out to companies/people. Is it still email? Or something else? Thank you.

Identifyy is a scam. you cant authorize your own channels unless you meet $100 per quarter earnings. so unless you get thousands of people unauthorized using your tracks, you will be locked out of your own youtube channel for 3 years and if you dont remember to discontinue identifyy they will auto renew you another 3 years obliigation..... scam scam scam!!!!

wowww!!!!! NICE WORK!!!

Always great suggestions and inspiration. Thanks

Thanks much appreciated great job.

RF is a race to the bottom, never give up your PRO rights

My dad used Cakewalk in the 90s. My first cipy was Sonar 6 lol. Now, I primarily use Fl Studio and been trying a demo of Cubase. I can't get used to Cubase workflow, though.

Loved checking out ALL these tracks! Well done everyone! Nice to hear the funky pop stuff going on

really good.

I have given up with MA with their tedious application system making you wait months just to be turned down. And yet I have had great success with other libraries for 15 years. I can't be bothered to wait 6 months to apply again. Sales are dropping off everywhere now anyway as AI, zillions of plugins kills off real hand played musical instruments and home made samples and loops. Good for you if you are.making good money.

Yep…buying this immediately.

Thx Steven, awesome info source! Thx for keeping it real!

with the banner... that happened to me but with graphicriver... felt like a betrayal indeed.... after 12 years on the website...

Great tip

Hunter's vocals are great in your track ...was nicely surprised by your use of the Fink guitar, and blending that with the original Heart and Hollow plus your own live playing ...it all hangs together so nicely. I don't know how everyone else listening feels, but when you're rolling ...the track pulls at the heart ...I'm not absorbed by the tech making it happen (even though that's what I was watching your video for). Thanks for doing this!

Hey Steve great video. I have Quarterone and you reminded me how good it sounds!

@Steven_Bedall PD Space Guitar Synthesizer is out on macos/windows. It is a polyphonic direct synth for guitar, and I think you'll like it: it does a lot of the athmopspheric stuff you demonstrated here, but then with normal guitar as a source.

Love this massive Sound. Strings have come along way since I looked at them

Congrats to you. I had no idea you can make money on motion array I have an account and I don’t see anywhere to contact anybody nor do I see anywhere to sign up or whatever you do to upload your original songs to sell on motion array could you please advise thank you.

Great library! I love it! Add Sonuscore's free Orchestra Elements and you can do a whole lot! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Is this Beat released somewhere? Smooth as butter🕺

Hey! This is awesome tutorial, thank you. Pls tell me what whisp kontakt library you used?

What most guitar libraries are still missing is some decent guitar feedback sounds, like different (amp feedback) swells that you can blend in with rock tracks or use as a cinematic pad. I'm surprised that these kinds of sounds are often not included, while they are so essential for (rock) guitars. (I'm still hoping Native Instruments with do a guitar version of Piano Colors and add some feedback options.)

Sounds great! How do we find your synthwave tracks?

Can't go wrong with Soundpaint.

Man, I love this track! I have all of the libraries you mentioned, Damage 2 and Trailer Brass being some of my favorites to use in epic trailers. Some additional libraries I use would be Elements: Kepler from Zero-G (especially for a track like this), Trailer Xpressions III from Sample Logic, AizerX from Keepforest, and Ferrum from Keepforest for those badass trailers!

QuartArone! Thank you for your kind words. I love when great musicians like you use my sound! Blessings.

Ah this is what I was looking for

Best acoustic guitar vst pls

Hey Steve! I have a question regarding Content ID. Let's say that a 10 minute long video receives a copyright claim because of a song used in the video. Would the video display more Ads if the video contained two copyrighted songs instead of one? Thanks!

Really appreciate this video on Lost Guitar! Thank you for featuring it 🖤

Emotional Guitar....bought! Beautiful 🧡

These are some very cool instruments! I used to use Shreddage a lot, but those are realistic tones. Same as Same goes for Sunbird or Telematic by Acoustic Samples. Great realistic guitars. For bass I love Toontracks EZBass and all the packs you can get for it. I always wanted to buy Sample Logic's Cinematic Guitars, but never got around to it. Too expansive for a hobby!

Spitfire "Afterglow" is also nice...also the guitars in Omnisphere.

Desolate Guitars by e-instruments is a cool one! Has more of a Western Rock type of tone.

Quarterone sounds amazing. My favorite of all of these. I’ll have to pick it up at some point. I’m not strictly writing production music. But I’m taking inspiration from it. I’m a commercial editor who uses production music all the time. We produce short documentaries for medical schools about intense trauma cases, and I’m trying to set aside the time to compose the music for those stories. It’s a nice way to channel creativity while producing stories about events that are pretty horrific. Anyway, thanks for sharing about these libraries.

Hi Steven! Wonderful and informative video. Quick question: Is it a requirement to use a middle-man (like Identifyy) to get paid for your songs used in any YT videos? Why can't you simply register your songs in YT's Content ID and skip bringing another company (and 30%) into the mix? I have compositions that I will be personally using for my videos (not registered with any stock music companies for licensing, etc, only with my PRO)...but I want to be paid if any of my tracks are stolen by creators on KZfaq. Does YT Content ID adequately cover stolen content and pay you, or is a company like Identifyy needed to ensure policing/payment? Thanks so much!

My question is: is it better to cast your net wide and make a wide variety of genres or to zero in on the niche your best at and just hammer that genre in hopes people return to you for that specific style? My strengths are in orchestral/film stuff but can also do beats and things

For the horns, is there a note envelope assigned to the velocity, I noticed that for each note you pressed, it changed.

Great info to coach us to slow down and present like a pro. Much appreciated.

awesome

Wow, Steve! That’s a really powerful synth! 🔥🔥🔥 It’s amazing to see what you did with it. Cheers, my friend!
