Watching you record the dynamics with the slider opened my eyes to my midi tools. I don't practice in my daw enough. I would normally be picking out those automations with my mouse. What you do may take a few takes, but is a hell of a lot quicker, and relies more on your intuition, which helps practice your skill. Note taken. Good, helpful vid.
I'm pretty impressed by how well you managed to replicate it just by ear, but actually the score for this is available so you don't _have_ to go by ear
WHAW! I just discovered your channel, and honestly it's amazing! Complex stuff but made easy thanks to your approach! And it's wonderful to see the walkthrough of a professional composer! So thank you!
Am i wrong or do you rearranged it in an other tune and I also would claim one note is different to the original ... but maybe you want it that way.😉 Anyway, mega cool post and very interesting .
Why would I want to sound like anyone else? That is a marketing trick. I believe you have a lot more to offer than having people imitate famous composer. Put some work into it man. This is ridiculous.
Don't be daft. Studying and analysing other composers' work is one of the most beneficial methods of learning you can do. Learning how and why John Williams makes certain compositional and orchestration choices will aid any composer in their ability to make different successful choices of their own, even if their sound is nothing like that of Williams. You're a thoroughly average composer with an incredibly overinflated ego. Stay in your lane, big man.
You're missing the point. This is not about sounding like someone else, this is about understanding why a certain composer (in this case JW) sounds the way he does. If you keep in mind that JW himself basically lifted full sections out of Holsts "The Planets" to do Star Wars, it might become obvious why the ability and process to do this is how one develops skills in this (or any, really) area of expertise. Look how the masters do it, learn from that what you can - and then try to find your own way of doing it.
@@constantinlorenz6050 and some people get asked to make a piece in the style of someone else. there are many reasons as to why someone would want to sound like someone else.
This is literally what all good composers do. Music theory is based on figuring out what works for others and then using those same techniques in different ways. Of course you can add your own flair, but great composers steal ideas. It’s the same with art or literature or basically any profession: learn from the masters.
This was awesome Marc! Would love to see you do John Powell next (How to Train Your Dragon) :)

14:45 best expression to demonstrate ear candies hahaha thanks for the video
Your recreation videos are some of the best on your channel. Make more please!!
This is really helpful stuff. Being pretty new to this side of composition you saved me a lot of time with instrument selection/layering. Thanks.
Hi Marc!! Great video! I think I can teach you a little trick too😉 CSS can trigger a rebow using two seperate notes connected with sustain at 127!!
Sustain pedal you mean?
@@CarlosGherrera yes, I was talking in midi😆

Thx Marc great instruction, layering panning, most important choosing the right instruments
I love the quality of your videos! Need more of this🔥✌🏼
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Really amazing explanation!
Oh, I know this one! Step one: listen to *a lot* of Holst!
That was awesome! Ope you do more of these
Thanks!
what scale has a 4th raised by a semitone and a 7th, know lydian has 4th raised but a minor key?
Interested about that scale too!
You should use a logic script for css I found a great video on UA-cam it automatically times css for me look up "how to fix css delay in cubase"
Thank You very much!🙏

Quality of the video editing is so good
Sometimes the volume of the voice gets a bit far away
Great stuff, Marc. And the little video asides are hilarious!
No one can sound like John Williams.

@@constantinlorenz6050 didn't know JW lifted from Holsts "The Planets". Any other famously lifted classical works?
