Hallo Nathan here is patrik from switzerland student of you, hope you remember me you gave me some feedback on feedback friday. Amazing what you did whit this song thank you for shaering
The difference in dynamics between an actual orchestra and VST strings regardless of how great the quality is night and day. The emotion from the real orchestra literally moves your soul.
Did not see THIS coming! Your videos stun me each and every time! Keep up the amazing work! P.S, out of curiosity, do professional orchestras like this require detailed scoring (dynamics, articulation, expression, etc) and would you recommend getting a professionally proof-read score from a composer for someone like me who isn't experienced in scoring? I'm still new to production and don't have the budget for live strings but wanted to ask out of curiosity. Thnx
Yes it is very important to have detailed scoring - if you dont then you are essentially leaving it up to the conductor and orchestra which is very likely going to get you results that you don't love. If you don't know how to do this then honestly you need to hire an orchestrator to do it. That is not just finding someone to proofread - that is more like finding someone who can actually take the project and do all of the orchestration - if you dont know how to do it then it's honestly too risky to try it on your own.
RIP... yeah, didn't feel like that was something I needed to talk about in this video... I'm definitely not stoked about it. Probably gonna switch to Sibelius .... sad day.
Its was soo good like I literally got tears and goosebumps once i heard those lush strings and it feels like a win like you are my own brother !!! I beleive that one day I'll record live strings for my song as it was my dream. Thanks Nathan it was wondeful and waiting fot the song to get release !
Thanks! Well, good news for you - I'm back on the regularly schedule content train. Plan is two vids in this format per month (that's the goal - we'll see how it goes - managing this on top of everythign else is a lot!)
This was the most inspiring video I have seen this week. I am a hobby producer that came back from a 20 year break. I wonder if it would be possible to get to this level just with a DAW and great plugins. I can't but I have heard a handful of really skilled producers. A pro viloinist can probably tell the difference tho, maybe. Anyway great video and great musical piece. 🎉
@@marcinkosiorek7936 this is not one of my songs - it's for Quinn Throness so she's the artist. I'm not involved on release strategy so I am not sure. She gave me permission to make the video
I wish I could like this video twice. I love the BTS, I love the arrangement, I love the orchestra, I love your reactions. Is there something in my eye? Amazing.
6:46 hi Nathan, I‘m a huge fan! Thanks so much for sharing, looks like it was a loooot of work but it’s soooo worth it! I only have a quick question: you say something like: „go away now!“ you mean it as a joke right? Like you stop talking about yourself? Not I as a viewer should stop watching, sorry weird random question. I love to listen to you music on Apple Music! Your awesome!
Musiversal does have people who can do this - I'm not 100% what their process is like in that format. Otherwise, I'd say you just need to do some research looking for people who specialize in that - private facebook groups, IG, etc.
@@TonyThomas10000 not sure yet - I can still use it - they just don't have support which I honestly never really used anyways since there's so much already out there... eventually I will need to switch so probably Sibelius
Matthew 18 15-20 Your "specialization," though, makes all of your stuff sound the same. Not in a stylistic kind of way. Just two cents from a nobody that appreciates your production knowledge but has noticed that everything sounds the same as far as your available discography and on your channel. If that seems kind of salty, it's because it is. A lot of your off the cuff comments lately are kind of flippantly trying to offend people. Not very graceful. Be better. SO MUCH of your success comes at the fruit of blessings that many in the industry do not have the luxury of.
Not sure what Matt 18:15-20 has to do with your comment. Can you give me an example of me flippantly trying to offend people? As far as your comment on my music and how it sounds... respectfully - I'm making what I love and I'm incredibly thankful I get to do it. I'm not expecting everyone to love what I do and I think it's a wonderful lesson to learn that when you create something artist - inevitably someone is going to comment something like what you have. And that's okay - you don't need to love or like what I do. What I do as an artist is what I love to make and if you don't that's okay. You don't need to. I would truly be curious where you think I'm being flippantly offensive - cause that comment is actually pretty surprising to me.
Incredible my friend. You're a legend.
ayeeee
Wait this is cool u 2 r my fav utube producers lollll

Of course I remember you! Thanks for watching!

You're there with more gold!!! So beautiful Nathan!
Wow. It‘s amazing how much more emotion the orchestra introduced as compared to the (very well sounding) sample instrument.
the look on her face from the first bar - priceless!!! What and awesome experience.
one more variation on song "Can't Help Falling in Love"
What a beautiful arrangement man, literally sitting an crying here with just the raw instrumental you showed...
Tears from me, too 😊 So lovely!
Orchestral elements in music add so much dimension! Well done here!
Totally agree.
I can’t believe how awesome and magical it turned out!! Sooo good!
110% worth the hype🔥
Love it! Thanks! Never thought I could hire an orchestra... I could! You did it!
It sounds beautiful! Congratulations, Nathan! 🎉
So you also booked video-team to shoot musicians in the studio - wild!
What a stunning little story this is. Loved it from start to end. Would love to hear a comparison to the midi!
Rock on. It cool to see how this kind of orchestral sessions work.
This…is….crazy awesome!!

This is so beautiful. That would be a perfect wedding song 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Simply brilliant 👏 could listen to that all day long 👍🤓
Wow, what a masterpiece!
Finale is under a new name now -Dorico

Thanks Nathan it was wondeful and waiting fot the song to get release

Congratulations! With results like that, I can see you becoming a regular customer for their services.
Yes that's the goal for sure.
This sound so good love it
Wow ! Amazing ! I cried... So emotional !
Awww thanks a bunch!
love this new format of video. ngl kinda miss the weekly video series but hey, cant always get what we want 😄
Thanks! Well, good news for you - I'm back on the regularly schedule content train.

Wonderful ❤️👍
Thanks for sharing the orchestration and programming bro. When is the song releasing? From India...learning so much from you.
Thanks for watching! Not sure when it'll release - I'm not involved with release strategy.
Best video!
❤
This is so amazing! ❤ Where can I hear the full song and when? Will it be on your channel Nathan?

This is insane 😮😮😮😮😮wowww I love it ❤❤❤
Thanks a bunch! Was a blast to make!
👍👍👍👍👍
🎉🎉🎉woo🎉🎉🎉
Sounds great! Probably too good to end up on K-Love. 😂
BAHA - it's kind of funny cause the artist and I both are kind of intentionally trying to make our songs NOT sound like modern CCM.
@@NathanJamesLarsen Glad to hear it. A lot of modern CCM is such garbage, lol. All sounds kinda the same and very bland.
How do you recommend going about hiring an Orchestral Arranger. I am writing a Btoadway style Musical with new age, pop and jazz elements.
Musiversal does have people who can do this - I'm not 100% what their process is like in that format.
Otherwise, I'd say you just need to do some research looking for people who specialize in that - private facebook groups, IG, etc.
Finale has been discontinued. What are you going to use next?
@@TonyThomas10000 not sure yet - I can still use it - they just don't have support which I honestly never really used anyways since there's so much already out there... eventually I will need to switch so probably Sibelius
