    I didn't understand what you were actually doing with the software because I don't know much about music but it was really fascinating to see the thought process on how composer compose music, and I could really see the passion while you were composing keep up the amazing work!

    I've noticed you use articulations sets a lot. How do you go around the different negative track delays each articulation needs if all the articulations are on the same track?🤔
    Keep up the good work!

    • @ZachHeyde
      @ZachHeyde  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Alvaro! Wherever that's an issue, I have them split out, but I've only found that to be a problem between Cinematic Studio Series' legatos versus their articulations. Their Legato is around -200ms, while the other articulations are around -80ms from memory :)

    Just found your channel, this video is awesome. I love seeing the process even with tempo adjustments. Something that might be helpful to add would be quick notes of your theory process behind some of what you’re doing like the key and harmonic decisions. Excited to watch some more of your videos!

      @@ZachHeyde I’ve just been watching it I love the nerdy breakdown! How did you manage to name the bus sends on your tracks rather than B1 etc?? And I notice you have a lot of gain plugins on your tracks, is there a benefit to that? I’ve been working on my logic template recently and mixing and would love any advice!

    • @ZachHeyde
      @ZachHeyde  4 роки тому +1

      @@JackMcKenzieComposer Glad to hear it 😊 The bus’es can be renamed through “I/O Labels” (a quick search will tell you the menu it’s in). As for the gain, I do that so I can “gain stage” each track appropriately... this means that the levels are near perfect without adjusting the volume fader at all, enabling a cleaner setup and more fine tuning. The volume fader has the most nuanced adjustments around 0db, so if you’re setting initial instrument levels by yanking the fader up or down, you’re losing the ability to fine tune down the road. You can test it out-move the fader to -25db or so and see how difficult it is to make fine adjustments around that level!
      Hope that helps :)

    Today I was so dissapointed in me for lack of inspiration while trying to compose...I found your video "Don't give up" and it is like this was intended for me...THANK YOU! I will definitely buy your Udemy course very soon. Question, do you have a video showing the VIs libraries that you use? The choir is beautiful. Is it East West?

    • @ZachHeyde
      @ZachHeyde  3 роки тому +1

      Thanks Jim, so happy to hear that! Hope you enjoy the course :)
      Here's a list of what I'm currently using! I believe the choir at this point was Insolidus by 8dio 😁
      - Cinematic Studio Winds/Brass/Strings (for almost everything)
      - TrueStrike Percussion
      - Hollywoodwinds Runs
      - Cinebrass PRO
      - Ample sound Guitars/Bass
      - Noire Piano, Embertone Piano
      - Insolidus Choir, Strezov Essentials Choir
      - Afflatus Strings, - LASS Strings
      - Omnisphere

    Haven't been this disappointed to see a video end this quickly in a while-
    I kinda thought it would be useful,and don't get me wrong,it is pretty useful!
    It's just that I realized- "wait-
    *oh yeah,you need money to get nice composing equipment* "
    edit: Oh yeah(x2),I almost forgot! Have you heard of Chrisopher Larkin?
    More importantly,do you think you could reach out to him?
    That would be the collab of the century!

      Thanks for the kind words!! I’d recommend doing some searches for free virtual instruments, there’s a TON out there (and Spitfire has a whole orchestra library out there for under $50) and you should always work with the tools you have/can afford before investing in more 😁
