Holy crap, altiverb sounds fantastic. I have never heard a convolution reverb do such a good job of transitioning a voice or instrument into another space. So smooth.
46:20 Is something breathtaking! I love it when a melody is played over a drone like that! Great job Daniel! Going to purchase altiverb as soon as I have the money for it. I have experiemented with Spaces and Virtual Sound Stage, but this looks the most promising.
+Tamtam That was in the interest of everyones ears. I didn't have any warm up time so I was trying to keep the amount of drifting and cracking under control
+Daniel James hey dan, do you remember that during stream on skype I asked about beginner series tutorials? (probably not)...Just wanted to remind it to you in case you were too drunk. As we both mentioned, you should do delay, reverb and compression.
Daniel James I know, iam a musician myself, i just wanted to tell him cz he probably didn´t notice. I really like the color of your voice and i had singing lessons some years myself, so i know how hard it is to sing like this. It sounded like you could sing really great without Autotune, thats why i said sadly, but if u had no warmup i can totally understand. I really love your stuff btw, keep up doing! ( I hope everything was understandable, iam from germany so sry if i missed anything)
Wow. Altiverb 7 is truly great. The Bohemian Violin is also very cool! Man, you are costing me a fortune haha! Must give the cards a break but these two are definitely on the list! Cheers for the video!
You just rediscovered the Altiverb for me! I'm full of inspiration... Thank you, Daniel! I just wanted to add, that using the Altiverb XL in 5.1 mode, even in stereo projects gives much more realistic quality of the reverb. The difference is impressing.
@@alyctro8158 it depends on the IRs you'll use with it. I noticed that with all live rooms, concert halls, churches 8-channel impulse responses on stereo speakers sound way more accurate, cleaner and real. You can test it. Write a letter to Audio Ease and tell them you want to try XL version. They'll send you a 14 days trial license. You can compare both modes and decide. Even stereo (2.0) IRs sound different on 5.1 bus -- not always better but different.
Great tutorial! I could not find the Altiverb 7, so I'm using the same six in my songs. The sound is really extraordinary. But I still have to learn better and mix. I learn a lot from you here. Thank you!
Try the Bosendorfer on a send (or any of the rooms for that matter) but that piano box on your fake pianos print and blend with. It brings the earthy sound to artificial pianos. It's pretty awesome on the Clavinova I have in my place. Love Altiverb.
A nicely detailed insight into your composing. Getting great sounds which inspire you to play around with melodic ideas is 80% of the process. The effect of the combined early and late reflections along with being able to set the spatial placement makes a simple drum pattern sound amazing. Just wondering. Have you ever thought about composing some New Age/Neo-Classical stuff - original material - and selling CD's of it? Bet you could make a tidy profit.
Great stuff, thanks for sharing your talent with us! I have some questions: 1. is there any video where you show how you created the Ableton template you are using in this video? It amazes me, how fast you switch between instruments, layer sounds or make advantage of the keyboard split (is it even split, or does it just come from natural ranges in frequency of the different instruments?) 2. Do you use some kind of "scale tool" for playing (for example at 1:16:30), setting the keys of your keyboard to play only a chosen scale? 3. How long did it take you to reach this high level of skill, and how did you achieve it? Did you study music? Keep up the great work!
Daniel - superb video. Would you generally recommend using the close mics of the libraries if you have a great reverb set up, or would you always keep some sample room in the mix (like in Spitfires mics)?
Showing a lot of presets with your own VST's is not a problem. What I am missing is diving into Altiverb using in the mix/master as an insert or through busses or stereo-out.
very usefull video Daniel! how do you control the dynamics of the strings ensamble while playing with both hands? with my keyboard it is fixed unless I use the joystick with the left hand..
Its better to turn off the Ambient Mic position of the Spitfire Albion for example before use Altiverb? If i dont, the sound will have exageratted reverb right?
There is nothing intrinsically wrong with feeding reverb into reverb, the instruments will simply get farther away. It may not be as "natural" as if you are using one coherent room, but we are not always looking for the most natural sound. With any of those types of questions, the answer will invariably be a "it depends" in one form or another. What do your ears tell you?
Out of curiosity, do you plan to make a stream about sound/synth design in Omnisphere? I am pretty sure a lot of guys would appreciate that ;) Anyway, great stream as always.
Hi, what a great stream was this. I like to ask you something... how do you keep the notes running on CineSample String Core while you play the piano and sing?
Hey Awesome Vid! I'm sure you've stated else where but how are you processing all these samples simultaneously? I have a pretty good computer but it can't handle the amount of instruments I need to compose. Any info would be great. thanks
+Matiss DeMars +Ashton Dean Gleckman I think he's wondering more about how he goes about setting it up so that they keep sustaining while still enabling him to switch instruments to improvise on top of them. The way I would always have to do it would be to record something in and loop it. He seems to bypass that method and have patches instantly sustain/loop forever without recording them. I'm curious to know how he does this as well.
In piano roll, use grab tool on note,...and stretch it out for a zillion bars... Or play the chord and switch tracks before releasing keys. Probably many other ways too.
if your keyboard lets you have 3 pedals plugged in, or lets you program what the pedal does, you can use it as a 'sostenuto pedal', which will only sustain the note(s) you were playing when you first push it down and not anything afterwards, from what I understand, that's just one idea though I'm not sure if that's how he does it
At 2:28:45 He says it doesn't go down that low, Im relatively new to messing around with strings in vst's and have run into the same problem of "It doesn't go down that low". Is there any way I can make it so I can use my full keyboard?
Well 5 month late reply :D Sure. Don't use a library meant to mimick the real thing. Problem with this is if you ever want to score for an orchestra, and you use synthesized strings that play out of the instruments actual range. You will end up with a score that no real orchestra can actually play.
Henrik Bengtsson Ahh ty, I wrote that when I was messing with a trial of adagio, It was the free trial for a violin ensemble. I was finding It frustrating I could follow along with an actual score with an ensemble then it would go out of the range. I guess thats all I could get with the free trial. :/
Please I have 2 very important questions:) 1. What soundcard do you use? 2. Have you ever visited a school which is special for musicproduction and that taught you all the basics about understanding music? 1:15:48 & 1:28:20
Daniel James But you learned it by yourself to use the DAW and how all the effects work?! And all the melodictheorie? Wow that is awesome!:) You are a very great inspiration to me. Could you give me a piece of yours? That would be enough to be a great musican :D
I'm a producer and craving to be a scoring composer like you. But I've been experiencing trouble lately with the CPU usage and memory. I just want to know what are your PC configurations and how do you manage CPU and memory for heavy projects and kontakt libraries like Hans Zimmer's percussion. My laptop just crashes when i load a heavy library. What is the best configuration should i have to not to let my PC crash. I think you should make a video on it separately, it would be lot of help for young producers who crave to be like you. Please revert. Love from India. I've been searching for this answer for a very long time. Love ya!!
Hi daniel, sorry if i missed info. at 1hr 23m, whats that library of piano? that sounds good to me. and also, can you recommend a cheaper alternative to altiverb? i know it sounds fab but I'm doing it as hobby not planning to get one any soon with that price tag. Thanks a lot!
Hey Daniel, I've been listening to so many Violins, and my opinion is that the Bohemian Violin sounds as realistic as it can get. What is your preference ? What is the violin you think sound the most realistic?
The most realistic is Audio modelling with use of e TEC breath-controller. It's not based on samples. You are making the sound on the spot in real time!
Hey Daniel, got a question. Low on budget, I'm planning on either buying Bohemian Violin or a real violin of the same price (150 euros). My impression at the moment is that Bohemian Violin is one of the exceptions where I'm better off buying the VST rather than the real instrument (considering my budget and that I don't really know how to play the violin :p). Care to weigh in?

I've been using Altiverb 7 for about a year now. It's AMAZING.
Absolutely incredible. Best demo I’ve ever heard.
Such an inspiring and educational video! Thanks Daniel!
Holy crap, altiverb sounds fantastic. I have never heard a convolution reverb do such a good job of transitioning a voice or instrument into another space. So smooth.
I was looking for the library then I noticed you actually singing that surprised me XD
best stream i've seen? thank you!
thank you for stream, you are awesome!
I am Loving these...
Really good video. And stunning vocals! Well done, Daniel.
thank so much you show some great tips on adding reverb the right way

Spectacular man 👨
Fantastic upload and one hell of an Epic stream. Loved the skype chat Daniel. Keep up the great work bro. :)
that 3d space function ! I need altiverb 7 in my life , my body is soooo ready
You're goddamn awesome, man!!!

altiverb has a 5.1 mode? how?
@@alyctro8158 yes, you need XL version of Altiverb (not standard) loaded on a 5.1 bus of your DAW
Is it worth it even if you only have stereo speakers? @@CyrilleBoucanogh

buy me it

I learn a lot from you here.
Thank you!

01:09 oohh shit!! caught me off guard ... sound nice bruv , I forgot you used to be a vocalist , I believe you mentioned it in 1 of your old blogs
Daniel - superb video. Would you generally recommend using the close mics of the libraries if you have a great reverb set up, or would you always keep some sample room in the mix (like in Spitfires mics)?
Buying Altiverb is probably the most sensible "when I was inebriated" story I've ever heard.
Showing a lot of presets with your own VST's is not a problem. What I am missing is diving into Altiverb using in the mix/master as an insert or through busses or stereo-out.
Great. Daniel, can you say the whole list of the gear?
Thanks
Paolo
Can I change the Parameters of Altiverb 7 in the arrangement view (like decay etc.) or only via the plugin interface? thx
very usefull video Daniel! how do you control the dynamics of the strings ensamble while playing with both hands? with my keyboard it is fixed unless I use the joystick with the left hand..
Hi i want to know how to setup altiverb7 in my cubase 5 i tried but doesent work thanks
so anyone ever figure out how he sustains those notes?
Its better to turn off the Ambient Mic position of the Spitfire Albion for example before use Altiverb? If i dont, the sound will have exageratted reverb right?

You can play the flute?? Full of surprises
супер! отличный стрим)
@Daniel James Arts Acoustic or Altiverb? is it possible to achieve same results with Arts ?
What's the Piano? I need some recommendations please x
What piano do you use?
Out of curiosity, do you plan to make a stream about sound/synth design in Omnisphere? I am pretty sure a lot of guys would appreciate that ;) Anyway, great stream as always.
wow you gotta tell me what piano u used from kontant at 6:40
How does he sustnain the notes like that!?
Great Daniel, the wood flute what model is?
minut for bohemian violin?
Hi there. Super nice video.
Can you tell me, which piano library you use?
Thank you so much :)
PS: The session at 2:31h is so awesome!!! :)
How do you sustain those single notes (e.g. strings + choir) without sustaining the piano?
I too wonder that!
I believe he holds down the sustain pedal when he plays those instruments, closes the instrument window and then the sound just loops.
Hi, what a great stream was this.
I like to ask you something...
how do you keep the notes running on CineSample String Core while you play the piano and sing?
Hey Awesome Vid! I'm sure you've stated else where but how are you processing all these samples simultaneously? I have a pretty good computer but it can't handle the amount of instruments I need to compose. Any info would be great. thanks
Hi Daniel, thanks for all videos.
how you do leave a sustain instrument and play along?
that is very useful for composition
+Matiss DeMars I wonder this too.
+Matiss DeMars It is called a pedal note :) It is a certain technique in musical harmonic progressions.
+Matiss DeMars +Ashton Dean Gleckman I think he's wondering more about how he goes about setting it up so that they keep sustaining while still enabling him to switch instruments to improvise on top of them.

Thanks! Now im going to have to max this credit card out. ;)
What's the configuration of your computer, Daniel? Great video, btw. :D

Which plugin is used in 44:22
That Gregorian singing was amazing

whats the name of the song you played
