00:00:00

hello everybody here's something I bet

00:00:02

you can relate to do you find that your

00:00:04

life is just getting too complicated

00:00:06

there's too much to do there's too many

00:00:08

things too much technology too much

00:00:10

traffic too many balls to keep in the

00:00:13

air at the same time it's just

00:00:16

exhausting you want a good example for

00:00:19

this okay I come into work in the

00:00:21

morning and I open up my Gmail and how

00:00:24

many unread emails have I got yes

00:00:27

eighty-nine thousand two hundred and

00:00:29

sixteen how is that possible you say

00:00:31

because life is too complicated and this

00:00:35

can be true of your music as well we

00:00:38

have so much choice in terms of

00:00:40

instrument plugins and tracks and

00:00:42

everything else sometimes it sort of

00:00:44

gets in the way of making the music and

00:00:46

so my friends what we're going to do

00:00:48

today is simplify we're going to enjoy

00:00:52

the joys of nature

00:00:53

hello nature we're going to cast out all

00:00:57

those complicated ways of writing music

00:01:00

all those complicated ways of setting up

00:01:03

templates and things so welcome to my

00:01:05

new template okay it's a completely

00:01:10

blank canvas there are no thousands of

00:01:13

tracks there's no complicated routing

00:01:15

and everything else what you see is what

00:01:17

you get so we're gonna have a little

00:01:20

simple idea which we're just going to

00:01:23

put in instrument after instrument and

00:01:25

see how we get on this is an

00:01:27

increasingly popular way of working

00:01:29

because if you work with a big template

00:01:32

and you know if you're gonna do big you

00:01:35

know knock-down-drag-out trailer music

00:01:37

and things like that a templates a good

00:01:39

place to start and for a lot of film

00:01:40

stuff it is but the trouble is it's a

00:01:43

little bit like being a chef and always

00:01:45

using the same ingredients that it can

00:01:48

sound very similar each time you come to

00:01:49

it so we some composers let us find out

00:01:57

okay let's start with an instrument I

00:02:02

know that's an audio instrument that

00:02:04

wouldn't be okay so let's start with

00:02:06

okay contact

00:02:08

I will go to contact if you insist

00:02:10

pretty good start really

00:02:12

absolutely okay I'm gonna go to an old

00:02:17

favorite does that I'm gonna start with

00:02:23

a harp I like and I tell you what you

00:02:28

think you need all these new instruments

00:02:29

and everything else this is a vesl harp

00:02:36

which was originally from gigas studio

00:02:45

so it's about ten years old I'm just

00:02:46

going to add an effects track track in

00:02:48

here with some lexicon on it and then we

00:02:54

because I BSL stuff is a bit on the dry

00:02:58

side and tends to need a bit help so

00:03:01

we'll add that in and we'll go to that

00:03:04

and we'll turn on the sound and we'll

00:03:05

have about half okay that's not too bad

00:03:13

right now

00:03:18

I've actually got a right subbing isn't

00:03:21

it do I have to kind of just go have

00:03:23

some breakfast though I've got a rising

00:03:26

- okay so listen um actually in the

00:03:38

spirit at the moment I'm not going to

00:03:41

have to click click on to start with I'm

00:03:44

just going to work because sooner or

00:03:45

later you just have to sit down and work

00:03:47

[Music]

00:04:00

this is the pet have to pretend you're

00:04:02

not there I have to pretend you're not

00:04:03

there and just go go into mmm clear your

00:04:06

mind mode

00:04:08

[Music]

00:04:35

that sharp 5 is really nice ok now we

00:04:40

have to turn the click on it's it's a

00:04:42

lot slower than 120 though it's more

00:04:43

like I'll give it a 90 nailed it

00:04:56

[Music]

00:05:18

okay that's a perfectly decent place to

00:05:22

start now we need another instrument

00:05:28

okay it's different instrument this time

00:05:31

let's try the owner instrument there's a

00:05:37

vendor instrument just a simple one

00:05:41

that'll do that's what I want is I'm

00:05:45

hearing a bit of woodwind going on in

00:05:48

here and I cannot tell you how good the

00:05:53

absolutely basic woodwind in special

00:06:00

edition is it's absolutely great where's

00:06:04

my clarinet it's gone just a

00:06:05

straightforward b-flat clarinet that'll

00:06:08

do but again it is SuperDuper dry so we

00:06:16

need some reverb okay so it's put a bit

00:06:21

of that on it's also the via the old

00:06:27

style via not synchron the old style

00:06:29

vienna instruments sounded great any

00:06:31

instrument which you would mike about

00:06:32

they're fantastic and actually the

00:06:36

woodwind and the some of the other solo

00:06:41

instruments worked super extra duper bit

00:06:44

loud

00:06:54

it's met a lovely legato as revos too

00:07:01

long they're mine it's gonna come in now

00:07:08

isn't it

00:07:09

[Music]

00:07:16

but it's not coming in like that

00:07:21

[Music]

00:07:48

I quite like that I can hear an

00:07:53

answering phrase in there though listen

00:07:55

it goes like this

00:07:56

[Music]

00:08:08

do you think or something like that uh

00:08:11

you know okay this is very traditional

00:08:15

piece of music I know it's a very

00:08:17

traditional piece of yeah look I'm just

00:08:19

having a bit of fun I'm enjoying myself

00:08:21

yeah I'm not writing something weird and

00:08:25

demanding and interesting I'm just doing

00:08:27

the thing okay let's go for this is

00:08:32

quite an intimate little sir Oh God

00:08:34

you've got a love to chamber strings

00:08:35

look at this you know if you want

00:08:39

chamber strings from spitfyre have more

00:08:43

articulations than whatever has an awful

00:08:47

lot but they're now fleet of articulated

00:08:51

tracks it's ah look I mean all this

00:08:55

stuff ATO does a good line in this as

00:08:58

well actually when it comes to Malta so

00:09:00

this is really flat and own legato cello

00:09:03

I don't think I've ever played this

00:09:05

instrument this is a premier let's hear

00:09:09

what it sounds like

00:09:20

I want something it's not quite right

00:09:22

for this one um is it sound too small

00:09:27

let's I tell it so let's let's try

00:09:29

switching it up for the Symphonic one

00:09:35

simper notice i'm using the search

00:09:40

facility and this latest version of

00:09:43

context really good actually

00:09:45

performance Lagarto that would do don't

00:09:47

you think

00:09:48

load up load up

00:09:54

[Music]

00:10:29

whoa it's working okay I did record it

00:10:36

Gor blimey good for me okay so that's

00:10:40

not bad

00:10:41

what else are we hearing here I tell you

00:10:47

what I'm hearing a key change when we

00:10:50

get to bar 10th

00:10:56

now what's happened here is the lagarto

00:10:59

to work properly they have to overlap

00:11:01

and they're not overlapping enough and

00:11:04

also I'm going to play with the mix

00:11:08

[Music]

00:11:27

that one okay now what's going on here

00:11:33

let's go back to what is basically our

00:11:35

harmonic sting so it's going from a

00:11:41

second diversion of D major

00:11:46

you could either view that as an

00:11:49

Augmented b-flat or you can see it as an

00:11:52

Augmented D which would make no sense

00:11:56

into the sharp five so so we want to go

00:12:05

to a really different key we don't want

00:12:06

to go to something closely related

00:12:10

that's a bond chord isn't it so

00:12:15

and it's pivoting around the no a so

00:12:19

it's good so our choices are

00:12:25

we're starting our choices are a minor

00:12:30

[Music]

00:12:31

I am ager no F major

00:12:41

because whatever this new cord is is

00:12:43

gonna have to have the pivot nation how

00:12:46

about F sharp minor

00:12:48

[Music]

00:13:01

yes that is good so that's what Hawtrey

00:13:05

now I've got to

00:13:08

[Music]

00:13:29

and here owls

00:13:31

okay now

00:13:38

at that point we're gonna go all kind of

00:13:41

quasi okay let me split me up the pace

00:13:44

here a bit let's not mess about quite so

00:13:47

much and that's we're gonna go for to go

00:13:55

to them diffident to put them to condemn

00:13:57

them dumb let's I have let's go for some

00:14:02

tram alone below

00:14:04

tremendo I like this um oops there we go

00:14:10

it's over here somewhere there we are

00:14:12

and we add the reverb always use bus

00:14:20

based reverb because you wouldn't wanna

00:14:23

put reverb on all of these absolute ton

00:14:26

of CPU and you wouldn't like that

00:14:28

right so now I'm gonna start it earlier

00:14:33

off in this piece actually how am I

00:14:36

gonna arrange this no because that's

00:14:40

what the harpes doing

00:14:43

I could do that I can do that let's try

00:14:48

that

00:14:49

okay root position might work

00:14:51

[Music]

00:15:28

okay now obviously we want a bit of a

00:15:31

norm coming in where that where we

00:15:37

change key so we're gonna add one of my

00:15:40

favorite sounds from back in the day

00:15:43

come on down Albion 1 yay okay Albion

00:15:50

I'll be in one ok go into the low

00:15:53

strings this this is a killer patch I

00:15:55

bet you've all got it I hope most of you

00:15:57

know about it because is what it is so

00:16:00

good Asher domine you know as Christian who's

00:16:03

prone state worth the price of entry and

00:16:05

he's absolutely right ready it goes

00:16:08

[Music]

00:16:13

if I had app and every time I've used

00:16:16

that for a low brooding bass that's

00:16:19

sometimes you need to go from beginning

00:16:22

just because you're not quite sure in

00:16:28

terms of the arrangement where it goes

00:16:35

hello

00:16:36

[Music]

00:17:02

obviously there's a lot more going on in

00:17:04

there like what guy

00:17:08

[Music]

00:17:16

like this is a lot of order I'm always a

00:17:21

bit picky about everything being score

00:17:23

orbits this is very very army Wow that's

00:17:28

not very out of order is a bit okay

00:17:31

that's okay let's have another VSL

00:17:36

instrument we're going to put some flute

00:17:38

in okay sorry sorry sir I was just doing

00:17:54

my own thing that frees Ensemble no

00:17:55

flute one I prefer okay let's now we

00:18:00

have to add the old rebirth to these

00:18:03

because it's dry as the proverbial bone

00:18:11

[Music]

00:18:35

this is starting to sound a little bit

00:18:39

like sort of John Barry it's got a sort

00:18:43

of John Barry esque kind of thing going

00:18:45

on for it here okay I'm gonna start up I

00:18:48

need to up the pace because I want to

00:18:49

finish this now I have enjoyed doing

00:18:55

this I've enjoyed through this is fun

00:18:56

okay though here is I which one should I

00:19:00

go for if we if we're having a trip down

00:19:03

memory lane when it comes to instruments

00:19:07

Sony Vox Esprit Revo strings where is it

00:19:11

it's in its again this is one literally

00:19:14

from I mean it's so long ago it is sewn

00:19:18

on it doesn't actually work ok it now

00:19:22

you may say why do you like that I don't

00:19:25

know why do you always like playing on

00:19:28

your granny's piano or whatever it's

00:19:30

because some of these things you're just

00:19:31

used to and you love them just you know

00:19:34

walks naw it's a very warm useful patch

00:19:38

it sometimes gets stuck though

00:19:40

[Music]

00:19:51

okay now if I'm gonna do

00:19:54

[Music]

00:20:05

strings of clarinet

00:20:18

[Music]

00:20:40

okay sauce immediate Berlin brass

00:20:44

absolutely great love it you see where

00:21:02

I'm going to bring this in this has come

00:21:03

to come in on the key change which is up

00:21:06

there summer isn't it

00:21:07

[Music]

00:21:27

tell you what Adi I could I don't have

00:21:33

to add instruments like this like like

00:21:35

they're free because they are but I

00:21:38

could use multi articulations inside one

00:21:43

which would be a bit more responsible

00:21:45

frankly I need a decent tuba I need

00:21:51

something on the bottom

00:21:56

[Music]

00:22:20

how about hmm cello how about this

00:22:33

principle simple strings in go for the

00:22:49

[Music]

00:23:03

[Music]

00:23:08

[Music]

00:23:13

okay it's not bad I tell you why it

00:23:16

keeps going up to the top of the thing

00:23:18

but I found I switched in January every

00:23:20

turn come down it works I'm just going

00:23:23

helpful leather here as you can see

00:23:24

we're gonna put a bit of viola in

00:23:26

because you've got to have a viola line

00:23:29

in there to make it sound lovely okay

00:23:38

you may also notice I'm not so fast

00:23:41

about the reverb on these

00:23:43

[Music]

00:24:02

[Music]

00:24:06

okay now we can add just a couple of a

00:24:12

little bit of a little percussion thing

00:24:18

actually I'm going for no but what's it

00:24:25

called perk one of the ones I like best

00:24:29

is Cindy brassiness any boat see any

00:24:36

strings oh okay I'm not seeing poke in

00:24:39

there I thought I had ok spoke it it's

00:24:43

been fun percussion that'll do I'm

00:24:44

looking for a actually the easiest way

00:24:49

of doing this would be to just drop in

00:24:51

some audio of the symbol medium okay

00:24:58

let's go

00:25:00

[Music]

00:25:09

so that

00:25:12

[Music]

00:25:19

that's the one

00:25:21

there we go swell MF these percussion

00:25:24

libraries are quite hard to find your

00:25:25

way around there's no sort of rhyme or

00:25:27

reason about where the things go and

00:25:30

everybody does it differently so yeah

00:25:33

[Music]

00:25:48

[Music]

00:25:50

not sure I needed that second one yeah

00:25:54

that's what you're saying as well

00:25:57

[Music]

00:26:04

what about the placement do we track it

00:26:07

earlier so it hits the or does it impact

00:26:10

is it better [Music]

00:26:21

I prefer it later for two reasons

00:26:23

[Music]

00:26:31

I just gonna put one more thing in

00:26:35

because I like them

00:26:40

I just want is it is it very cheesy to

00:26:44

put some choir in is it very very cheesy

00:26:50

instrument arcs

00:27:00

[Music]

00:27:21

[Music]

00:27:30

okay we'll have a performance now ladies

00:27:34

Lagoon or some other non sir no it's not
