New Follower here!!! Thank you for this video. I'm new to all of this. Could you please share what you are working with now?

Dude, I stumbled across this video while watching the more technical stuff you posted, so much good stuff here! I'm just a couple of years younger, maybe that's why it resonates. For me the solution (or the key, if you will) is sleep. And in order to get that I have had to make changes in my life. Since almost 2 years I don't drink (I know this would be unthinkable for you😊), my life is very disciplined, I have worked on being able to say no and being ok with some people not liking me. So for me the until 5am things have to be an exception, not a rule. And to be honest, now to that I work a little bit less but more focused, I definitely get better results - and that without burning out. Dr James Hollis talked about us having expections from outside for the first part of our lives (parents, teachers, bosses, partners etc.). And roughly for the second half it would ideally filling the expectations of the soul. Which doesn't mean it is easy, but at least it is for yourself. All the best for you, I'd love to meet one day!

hi, do you allow your music to be used and youtube by creators if so, how do we license it for use ??

Very good video! my template is pretty similar to this. Question for you, have you updated to pro l2 sidechain limiting for your stems?

Can only imagine how much of a unit of PC you must have to be able to load such a concisely in depth template with all these instruments and busses going at the same time and then be able to use them in a stable manner too

Hey Trevor , Thanks to you and all the pros who gave their time, and Mucho Gracias for the template run through ! Great of you to organize this Master Class. One question, How do I get one of those touch screen controllers? Who makes it? Is it bassed on ICPro for Cubase, or ? If its cool I'd like to get the contact. Many thanks !

Many thanks for the first-hand information.

I am starting on this journey, quite late in life but, this video was super inspirational. Thank you.

Is it weird that looking at that calendar it feels like a dream come true!? I'm that kind of person who would LOVE to block out 10 hours in a day just to write.🤣 But thank you so much for the video, very eye opening.

Thank you very much for these amazing videos

Goed verhaal Roel!

This is so true. TV Workflow is something else all together. I worked as a TV Director for almost 30 years and composed and played music as a hobby. But sometimes I composed little cues on the fly because I wouldn't use production music. Even searching for the right track in my vast database would take to long. TV shows are only final once they are on air. Hours before that they could be re-edited or remixed. I Spent an entire night to re-edit a show that was to air the next day, for legal reasons, and I had to fix the mix and music in the edit room just before tape was sent to the network. So I called my editor friend who had been a mixing engineer prior, not taking any chances. This was in the linear Digibeta era. Crazy times.

Most of the pro's on this channel learned their skills when there was no internet. There were no Google hangout, no Mix with the Masters or Masterclasses, no UA-cam. They learned it the hard way, on college and internships, hustling and lurking and assisting their butts off and now they are sharing their knowledge for free. Just think about that for a moment.

I you get a compliment like that from a Giant like that, you must have really earned it.

That’s what I was looking for! Amazing explanation of reality in this business. I’m a from new generation of composers, and I’m thankful to hear such guide lines, which are build on respect and love to our craft, not on selfishness. Thank you.

I like the idea of just chipping away at the job you need to do and before you know it you have completed it. Great advice.

The technical term I think is ‘metric modulation’, where you use varying time signatures to change the tempo and beat without actually changing the tempo. And thank you so much Trevor for sharing all your wisdom and bringing such clarity and transparency to the entire film scoring process! As a hobbyist who is a fan of your work, this information and the people you share on your channel is pure gold! So cheers to you buddy and please keep it going!

Thanks for the tips, it's how I have my template setup now, based on your way. It's cleaner.

Channel is dead? 😭 I hope the misanthropes didn't drive you away...

Thank you so much!!

Thank you for discussing your thoughts on this! I've been fiddling with a local VEP7/Cubase template for a while but haven't been able to get it to run smoothly and am returning to the setup you mentioned (all my VSTs inside Cubase, deactivated but ready to go with a click). Do all these deactivated VSTs result in lengthy save times for you? Or do they once you activate them?

Thank you for sharing and discussing your template with us! Do all these deactivated VSTs result in lengthy save times for you? Or do they once you activate them?

This is so good and so true. Thank you Trevor.

I work in Reaper, and we have an option of exporting selected tracks (as they are), and export selected tracks via master - that way you can send all tracks through the same reverb (if it fits them of course) and not have bleeding of the other instruments (since each export is individual). Do you have anything like that in Cubase? If you do, that will obliviate the need for the "upper" row of stemming, wouldn't it?

sounds insane for a hobbyist. But a good goal to aim for. Thanks Trevor

Great insights.

Hey man love your videos! What CPU specs do you have? Going to upgrade my stuff and just want to know from a film composer perspective what is good!

Thank you so much for this video! In regards to your bussing, how are you separating long and short strings if you’re using expression maps? Are you using different instrument tracks to achieve this? Thanks!

How big is your average Cubase file size for something like this

Excellent advice

WOW!, this Masterclass was unbelievable!, Thank You Trevor!.

Hi Trevor, nice QA! Do you find that you have CPU issues when holding all your instruments in Cubase? I notice with my own setup that I can hold many more instruments when hosting them in VEP. Thanks! [edit] Editing to add a thought I just had… another benefit of hosting everything in Cubase would be that you can work on the instrument track directly and not have to worry about handling the MIDI and audio tracks separately. That reason alone may be enough to get me off VEP 🤔

Thank you 🙏

100%

Hey Trevor, this series is fantastic. Thanks for creating it and bringing in the experts to share their experience and expertise. You may have already, as I have just begun exploring your channel after finding it by chance (luckily), but I would LOVE to have you walk around your studio there and show us all the hardware you have flashing alive in the background of all your videos, AND give some examples of HOW you use it in your work. I watch tons of videos from folks who have all this gear, and would love to get more insight into how it is used, how you came to have it, and how much you use it day-to-day. Thanks again!

You're work on the Tudors is legendary. First score to ever catch my attention.

Trevor, excuse. I just finished watching the Castlevania series, absolutely amazing. If you can please provide the name or track at the very end? It was so beautiful and tearful.

this is the most helpful thing i've ever heard about songwriting in my life

WOW!!!

this is true GOLD!!, Thank You Trevor!

Come BAck to YOU TUBE TREVOR!!! WE NEED YOU!!!!

When you say, "writing 2 minutes of music", what is the end result? Multiple instruments, arrangements, production-ready?

Hi Mr Trevor Morris, Hope you're having a lovely day! I just found your UA-cam channel through a Spitfire video; so happy that I did! It's so great to see this series with all these amazing tips from you, and other people in the industry. I really enjoyed watching your video about planning your day for composing as well. I'm currently doing a Masters in Music Production (for film and other media types too) and love doing sound effects/design and composing; so I'm off to the next video, absorbing all the info like a sponge! :) Thank you so much!

Love this series Trevor. Perfect grounder with a cup of coffee before the day starts. I'm still leaning balance myself, however I've recently started using timers to keep myself on track during the day. As I work in a small apartment that I share with my wife, it's easy to get distracted. It's helped me actually work the schedule and even be reasonably flexible with it if needed. All my best!

since lockdown I've been doing a full album a month (50-60mins) but I could up that if I keep the tempo down :)

Great video and down to earth approach. But to me this is a recipe for burn out and overworking, nevermind any work life balance. I would never work for TV in those conditions. That's just playing into "we gotta do a whole episode in one week", aka recipe for a very bad show and overwork everyone in the chain.... I'm not sure if that's a US thing though, and things are more regulated in Europe, which I would expect.

Trevor, love your music and your content!! Not sure if you still do these videos, but if possible, I would love if you could discuss how you would recommend finding work as as an aspiring composer! Given there are so many avenues, sync licensing, selling game music packs, “cold reaching out” to music sups or game/tv development companies, UA-cam, etc… it’s a bit daunting to know what’s worth spending time on. I’m sure you’re very busy, and I know there’s not one right answer to this, but I would absolutely love your insight on this topic!

Can’t believe this video only has couple thousand views…. This is pure gold.

Thanks Trevor! Can’t believe we can watch this for free. This is so helpful for us young/beginning composers. Hats off to you!
