    Trying something new with the video and with the song, first time ever writing for a big jazz band and the first time I've recorded what it looks like in FL Studio while I write music.

    That sounds extremely good for a full digital production. Big up for this piece.
    I especially love the bass+piano combination, even though it could use a little bit more of some embelishments
    Great job!!

      ​@@pizzazemle6262 what does that even matter lmao it's the same digital tools, the only difference is a treated room and possibly 11.2.4 surround sound for atmos. a stereo mix needs none of that and the best headphones to mix on are like $200. Like I have a full home studio with 7.1 and I still use my hd6xx and hd598, and just check with reference tracks and my full setup. You can learn everything a studio hired artist has off youtube and you know most big studios are not hiring the composer to fly in and work there anymore right? a lot of it is work from home, even the voice talents unless it's BIG budget work from home fairly often now.
      Not to mention these dudes cut their teeth on t.v. shows, where youre sometimes getting the hour long episode and doing a full comp in like a week.
      or the fact 99% of people who work composing for film and t.v. are not working for "trillion dollar studios" lmao, which aren't even a thing but for the purpose of the argument it's like ten people at the highest level and they do a handful of films a year, like three maybe. the dudes using full orchestration are exceedingly rare and dwindling as time goes on

    Oh wow this was great. As a musician who struggles to make good horns in go studio, seeing your approach is super interesting. This piece is soooo tasty! I am curious also about the mixing and effects you’re putting on the horns. The bright ones especially pop so naturally. This track is an inspiration!

    interesting harmony introduced at around 1:06-1:12, cool to see that evolve throughout the piece. as a bassist/drummer tho the energy feels a little sterile, seems like a basic swing drum pattern instead of something tighter & same for the 8th/ghost notes on the bass. subbed though looking forward to more

      Been using FL Studio for about 5 years though I've only started seriously composing on it for 2. I've taken AP music theory in high school but a more generally useful skill was the fact that I play both the trumpet and piano. Being able to play music means that I've heard and seen a lot of music that I like and as such I know what about it makes me like it and what I don't like that I would do differently if I were to write my own piece.
