How to actually finish the tracks you start
Mark Petrie excision it’s an amazing song
Which software would you use if you didn't know fl studio? Jist curious
u da man thnx
What do you think about MIR 3D Pro?
Can we get a tutorial on how to do the articulation/dynamics? Yours sound so natural
So Insightful. Thanks Alex
Lol what the hell made braaams so famous...inception? Something before that?
Just noticed Wade Smith was here. He had good training to win the competition.
I tried doing this with CSS but the setup for my Strings takes about 20gb of ram despite having purged everything. Is this normal ? If not how could I decrease the ram usage ?
Same loading 16 patch in Kontakt takes a lot of ram even if you purge them
@@Watrwave I still wonder how Alex managed to run all theses patcher presets without running out of ram. Unless he has 256gb of ram or something insane like that. It’s unfortunate as this would be the perfect answer to my workflow issues if it weren’t from the insane ram usage.
Breath of fire mixed with Final Fantasy OST!
Nice Video Alex! As far as setting up latency compensation through the VST Wrapper Settings, you can set it for an instance of a VST, Save the Channel State (plugin options dropdown on the top left of the plugin window > "Save channel state as..."), and you can save that instance of that VST with its settings that you can drag and drop into your project via the browser, save it in your plugin list, etc. When doing this, I like to drag & drop a copy of the channel by holding & dragging that menu option, and placing it in the channel rack, then I would reset the settings (in this case, the latency) of the original channel, to not mess with other instances of that channel. You can also use that saved state's wrapper settings inside of Patcher, Which could save on CPU, though you would lose the control of altering the negative latency
Are you on the show Sugar on Apple tv+?
It's good to see you again Alex. I'm glad you found a way to solve your problem, I really like fl studio, but I decided to give other daws a chance. I tried Cubase first, then I went to Studio One, and there you have absolute freedom, especially for those who work with orchestral music
What do you think about Miroslav Philarmonik 2? I got this in a SampleTank MAX promo
Why are you swearing all the time?
I've just realiesed...It doesn't have to be perfect, no one will realise your mistakes anyway and they might not even be that to others.
you gave one of the best explanation of patcher yet. being super organized like you have it just makes sense. such an underused plugin. the things you can do with is is crazy but gotta have a killer computer to really utilize it to its full potential tho. Great vid full of good info
Hans Zimmer is ridiculously overrated.
OMGOSH, YOU WROTE THIS WITHOUT MUSIC THEORY KNOWLEDGE?! I'm having high hopes
Too much work. If it were Cubase it'd've taken 5 minutes just to setup the template basics.
Mf didn't play edirol
why does it sound like you recorded the whole video in 2x speed lmao
No flp i'm disapointed
absolutely amazing!!!! Thank you so much brother!
I've only watched two of Alex's videos and I've already been upgraded. Suscribed!
heyman, used logic many years but i am trying out fl. how do you set things up in the left side bar without the beatmaking window. And how do you make one midi box unique so when you edit one of them you dont fuck up every single one
You're Dueling Your Fates, but your fate is here as well 💫
Bass Wars: Return of the Jedi
Glad to have you back, Alex! Always bringing the best guidance for us beginning composers! 👏👏👏
Thank you so much for sharing these details. I know this is an older video and you've grown so much since, but your words and sincerity from this time have compelled me to leave my own here in return, to confirm my gratitude and maybe also as simply an unabashed cry. After years of being kindly steered away from the passions that I clearly won't grow out of at this point, I've chosen a similar life situation as the one you described, and feel like I'm the only one who believes in me. At the same time, the thought of actually giving up is so preposterous and out of the question. Hoping to keep a grain of your like courage in the front of my mind until I have something to show of my love that others will understand 🙏 May dreams be blessed.
Great and fair comparison. Thanks
Thank you so much! Learned a lot! Please, we must find a way to get your takes to Image-Line!!!🥲🥲
Hey bro why the C5 key is blocked ?
How did you make all the notes appear in the same pattern?
Do you happen to know any good ways to make a dark cinematic brass sound in FL Studio? I can’t afford to buy those $400-$500.
Thanx for sharing
i love your stuff but you have a habit of explaining too much on something without actually letting us hear it and moving on to the next thing like "whoa....we need to hear what it actually sounds like to be able to compare our stuff to". It's ok to slow down a little especially on complex stuff like this.
Thanks for Help
Bless you for libraries in description, bro. Its wonderful
Gr8 video, thanx for sharing ... Do u ever have issues regarding negative delays, working on the grid
"something I'm still learning" he says after he arranged the most beautiful strings piece ive heard in a while
"Hello guys, Alex here" Good to see you back bro.
That was really insightful and very fast :) Great lesson!
Wow vera level bro ❤❤❤️🔥❤️🔥🔥💘
Hello, I don't know if it can be useful and if you recommend some more, but I would like to know if what I have is enough to create anything, I have my doubts :). I have these plugins. - Spitifire Symphinic Strings - Metropolis Ark 1 - Albion ONE Spitifire - DominusChoirPro - Ethera Gold atlantis V2 - Chorus modern cinematic and symphonic choir - The orchestra complete 3 - Volcalise 3 gravity pack 8 - The Score - Nucleus The orchestral core
Anyone knows how to do it on Kontakt 7?
I am an experienced musician but just a beginner in terms of orchestration with VSTs. I just realized a couple of days ago that I was losing the realistic panning AFTER applying my reverb effects at the Master track level. This video is helping me push the right button to get it right (or at least it has inspired me to investigate further). So, thank you!
what are those samples for the drum Sir
Do you always work on cinematic orchestral music? I mean, if you make any beat of hip hop song you need UA-cam link???
Hey Alex! Hope you are doing great! I am interested on the courses, this or the other one you have on the description, but seems like the links are not working.. one more question, are there paying plans?
