    Just a couple heads up guys:
    - Trailer Music Redefined will ONLY be available until the 25th of November. Not sure when it'll open again.
    - Quantum has a FREE Demo pack available for download.
    Link to both in the description!

    I really wish you would do a video giving your top 3 to 5 (in order) full orchestral library plugin recommendations and the pros and cons to each. BEFORE BLACK FRIDAY! You obviously know what is what.
    I'm looking to purchase my first orchestral plugin and I'd like to know I'm getting one that's going to have all of the orchestral instruments with their articulations, pedal & mod supports, etc
    If you do a search for best list your not sure if you can trust the list and/or the reviews you see. The recommendations are all over the map.
    The only one I feel good about getting is a supplemental library: Spitfire Solo Strings.

    Personally I believe that percussion is being overused and pretty much any trailer has this shit in it. Most of the time it outshines the screenplay and doesnt match the emotion or feelings of the situation. Creative is sonething else.

    • @MikeHathawayMusic
      @MikeHathawayMusic 4 роки тому +1

      The problem is that you don't get placed if you don't do it that way. They want exactly that and you have to provide or you won't get any money. I agree, it's boring, but sadly this is how it is.

    • @AlexMoukala
      @AlexMoukala  4 роки тому +15

      One of the reasons I don't write as much trailer music is because I wasn't particularly impressed with the trends of the time.
      However, those trends exist for a reason: simply put, they work into creating hype and emotion. And that is the sole purpose of trailer music.
      You either accept it and play the game, or move on to different things like I did.
      If you try to play the game by going completely against what works, due to personal experience, I can tell you to expect frustration.
      Before deciding all trailer music is boring though, one should spend time looking into the different genres of it that exist and that are currently trending.
      There's quite some diversity in them and how they're made, despite the goal always stays the same.

      As Alex mentionned it : include wav audio in a track, a midi file or whatever is not cheating but i'm not agree because i like to make my song in midi files only. For my proud for exemple.
      I think it's possible to have the same result as a wav but with midi files + effects but it will be a hard work i suppose..
      I hope i'm clear

      @@bnjization Personally I prefer converting samples to midi for percussive sound effects, but if I'm adding say a whoosh bang, it's much easier to use wav so I can clearly see where the hit is going to be. At the end of the day, you should just do whatever works for you

    • @Red_ls_andrews
      @Red_ls_andrews 4 роки тому +1

      Probably is something that you already know, but just for informative purposes I'm gonna say it anyway. You can make whooshes starting with samples like taiko drums, making riff, adding reverb, distortion, eq and stuff; downers are synthy or low end sound pitched down, maybe low passed and distorted; risers are the opposite, sound or maybe synth stuff mixed with white noises with maybe reverb, eq (boosting or cutting frequency, or with little high pass), compression, distortion, automated parameters or other stuff; hits in a digital world can be made with a very fast down pitching of 1 or 2 octave, or maybe you can start from recorded samples of puncky stuff and manipulate and mix them with the effects I said before. About sound design there are a lot of things to say, cause sound design, like composing, is a lot about trial and error, you can learn a lot with SeamlessR's videos or taking private lessons from him, or maybe taking the cinematic courses of evenant about sound design (Cinematic Synthesis for Synthy sounds, From Source To Cinema to better understand HITS and Other FX stuff), but remember that all this stuff needs not only theory but really A LOT OF PRACTICE, it's a long Journey, but It's worth it, especially if you want to develop your own sound.
