How Music For Videos Games Are Made! 

Love Barry just being brutally honest at the end there lmao. But it's how you learn and grow. Awesome video as always!

Seeing Simon play video games just feels kinda out of place but I like it

I love the reality check ending😂❤. Feedback can't always be a nice thing, even for Simon the Simon himself

Definitely nailed the Rocket League sounding aspect in the first cut. Here's to you getting a placement in RL in the future 🙏💯

Good on you for leaving the critical feedback from the main composer in! Much respect for taking it on the chin. Quality stuff as always! 🥰

Love how barry is so honest but they hired you for a reason they needed your sound in there and it fits perfectly

Dude at the end roasted the shit out of Simon 😂

Amazing work, man. And considering that Barry was one of the absolute godfathers of this entire style, the fact that he was so engaged in providing feedback is really an indication of how well you did with the authentic emulation.

As a composer of game music I can say you nailed it, happy to see my friends Israel, Paulo and my mentor Barry in this video! Amazing video!

That ending was brutal 😂

Love the video and the unexpected ending. Simon just got kinda demolished by the feedback of the main composer haha.

Honestly Seeing the way Simon takes feedback and work on them is premium 💯 he's really good with his craft

As a composer this is like watching myself lol That's cool they give you all that useful feedback. Sometimes clients just like what I make and I feel weird.

Imho, you made the best music on the entire game. I've replayed this specific track just to hear it again. Your song sounds a lot like DJ Alok. Congrats, man!

you putting in the notes from the main composer says a lot about you as a creative!! well done!!!

The exact customers you want. They were so nice and careful with giving notes!!! What great devs

This is one of the best videos, love the process, love your work, congrats Simon!

Thank you Simon I really appriciate that you Share This experience 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 Cause I Always Had on my Bucket list as Well to make one day a composition for a Game and a movie/series. Great Soundtrack I felt the Race Vibe at the End 💯💯💯

Great video! Awesome to see the process of some contracted work like this come into fruition! Also so cool to see such great feedback coming from Epic Games! Great track Simon!

MY MAN Simon doing big things. Thanks for all your lessons over the years I've learned so much watching your videos and to see your growth over the years really impress me a lot. Keep doing great man

I really enjoyed the soundtrack! Glad you widen your experience in gaming music production!

Great job on this piece. It fits with the game perfectly in my ears!

I love this, it was cool to see the communication with the game dev leaders. More videos of this sort would be very entertaining

Great video! An unexpected ending but I think if that is your one of your first few times producing gaming music, it was pretty spot on.

I'm happy for you Simon for this accomplishment! I've made two comic book series when I was in jail to pass time. I haven't copyrighted them yet but I've already made theme songs for them on FL Studio Mobile. Thank you for posting this, you inspire me! I'm wishing the best of luck for you and everything you accomplish moving forward! ❤

Love to see a talented composer getting to do the work they enjoy!! You have taught me so much about the world of music production, and now I'm getting to see you doing the kind of job I dream of! Keep up the wonderful work man, you're bringing a great energy that the world of music composition needs more of! It brings me me the motivation to keep working at my own skills, so that one day I might be able to make something as powerful as some of my favorite game composers!

Hey Simon, congrats on the achievement! Gaming with your own music in background must feel different fr

Love the first Horizon Chase, can't wait to tryout the sequel. Awesome you got a chance to make music for it.

Bro... I've been subscribed before everyone realized you are a heat... till now, I've always considered every detail you lay down... hope you're doing well and spirits high as usual... appreciate everything you're doing for me... last not least for us!

I already enjoyed the video. But putting that closing call with critique was so brave and respectable, immediately liked and subbed.

hey simon, love the work you put in and the beat that was made for the level. Keep up the good work!!!

Seeing what the devs wanted and the response to their feedback was really interesting, so sick!

So cool process and result!! Man you really did a good job!!! Please keep do what you doing! I love your videos and you're cool) love you man

Super cool, I really appreciate this video’s existence and thanks for all the inspiration Simon

Dudeee honestly you nailed it at least from my vision but from the pro we don't know right, hats off man mad respect 🔥

Great job showing your process! A couple of my courses in for my degree thru Full Sail University was centered on sound production for games. You did an amazing job bud.

Incredible video! Your talent is beyond this world!

Dude that’s so awesome and I’m happy for you that you achieved one of your biggest dreams! I really want to make music for video games and this was very inspiring.

Thank you for showing different avenues for producers!

you are quickly becoming one of my favorite youtubers, keep up the great work

Amazing thank you for sharing your process on this you smashed it 💪🏽

Heck yeah my dude! So awesome to hear your track in the game. You've come such a long way and I'm so heckin happy for you bud. ^_^

Its crazy how much goes into making one song for a level in a game. That's why I like games with good music because besides it sounding good you know it may have gone through some shit to get this good. Nice job man.

lowkey didn't know there is gonna be a 2nd game, i loved the first one so much. congrats on getting to make music for it

Wow this is Epic. I'm just in a similar position MAN (Making Music for a Retro Game - Still not out yet but soon) and then I see you with this video and with all these little behind the scenes and feedback from the developers .. Wonderful. Thank you so much for this video - Im so Hyped I would love to send you my track to that particular game and to let me know How I got so far

recently got a few devs ask me to create for them & I came here for a little studying. Great content man as always man!

Had a blast watching this! Now I really want to start making music for games 💪🏻

Big congrats on this dope accomplishment!!

This is brilliant content, cool to see you grow over the years, well done!

nice to see you working in a track for a game, proudly created by brazilians like me. great job, Simon

Good insight into making music for video games...interesting. i always wanted to try this out.

Building momentum in cues is half the battle. Doing great bro! 💎👑

Absolutely addicted with HC2 right now! Great to see a glimpse of the music production 👍

So dope - glad to see more people get into Sync

You da man lol. I think it’s great that you showed the process. Always been curious about game audio

Let him cook! Great job Simon, I'm so happy this came together and it was fun working with you on this.

Damn, for your first time producing this type of arcade-y music, you killed it! Lot's of really good ideas with the melodies and progressions, gave me chills at one point. I can see where Barry is coming from with the points he mentioned, esp. the vocal chops. They didn't quite match the vibe of the game, I think RL had too much of an influence on you there haha. Nonetheless, really appreciate you showing the whole progress of this experience, it was a nice change up! My goal is to get at least close to where you are in production. Thx for everything you taught me and all the inspiration! Servida Music to 1mill!! 🙌

you nailed the brief, and just because that guy at the end wouldn't have done it the same way... isn't indicative of you doing anything poorly or underwhelming... you smashed it!

yo props for posting the process, ive been there and you just can't please everyone lol. oh the flashbacks..... but either way you got the placement, people will play that game and remember your song as one of the great things about it. especially cause it seems that level is more difficult. congrats man, always a joy to see your work

Congrats man. Big accomplishment!

So inspiring! I’ve always wanted to do something like this

This is so sick man!! I will be playing the game just to get to this level!

As someone who wants to start composing for videogames this was eye opening.

Well, I think despite the fact that this was a lot of stress and probably one of your first tracks for a video game (I'm not aware of your past with that) you did a good job! Been following you for a long time now and I really liked it. Keep it up, Simon! Or just leave.

AWESOME! you deserve all the results from your hard work

I'm so glad you play video games too... Now I can relate a lot to this video... I've always dreamt of making music for games

The ending shows you the different level that actual screen scorers are on. Any experience composer would say that the arrangement was TOO predictable and simple. This is not a surprise since Simon is primarily a hip hop producer in which simplicity is best in that genre. But in vgm/film music, it’s probably the biggest mistake most beginners make because their natural tendency is to add on top of the track every 2/4/8 bars etc. However, the reason why this was game-ready was because of the overall quality of the instruments, samples, mix and sound design (which is skills Simon obtained from being a highly skilled producer). With all that being said, most producers (especially the fl studio ones) would’ve failed miserably at this project which goes to show the overall musicianship Simon has.

Simon just casually cooking up one of the craziest beats for a racing arcade game

I love this bro and I’m hella happy for you 🥹

aye man love the content never forget when I found u from the kyle beats contest been here from the start keep it up!

These guys are not effin around. I love the way the producers approach and think about music. Simon u killed!!!!!! 🔥 ❤

You did an absolutely amazing job 😎 👍

This is dope, good work bruv.

Dope to see that you accomplish your goals 😁 best wishes!

at some point im very jealous about how easy and good Simon makes the beats, but im not jealous bad way, keep going Simon you really inspire me

this was a great video! gaming and music my two favorite things

Mans channeled his inner mvc for those melodies, amazing work🎉🎉

5:20 brody is using some log drums.. i can't wait for the day he's gonna try making an amapiano beat🔥

thanks for documenting this!

I'd love to watch you play more video games man!

simon showing music, cars, and games all in one video is like a cool little reward for me waking up on time today

8:06 that's the moment I said "he nailed the video game sound"

Ive recently been composing tracks for a friend of mines game, this was a HUGE inspiration! Thanks Simon!

Bro this is so good! Nailed it

Dude, I really enjoyed this video. You're a really dope producer and I'm not trying to blow smoke up your @$$. I was really surprised as to how specific the client was with their requests. Honestly, I think that is great. It really lets you know what to focus on so you dont waste time bumping around in the dark hoping that the next iteration will be okay. They really push you as well so that you can produce something better than you would normally do left to your own devices. Brutal Barry would push you even further. If you took everything he said and tried it anyway without fearing a loss of artistic identify you would be on the fast track to mastery. Your own flavour and identity will win out in the end no matter what but it would just be next level. I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Maybe it has inspired me to have a crack at game music. Nice one.

Bro acheiving his goals!!!!I'm happy to see that he is growing since the Tyler the creator beat.... Congratulations again!!!!❤

Beautiful composition my friend

That’s a huge accomplishment! You did good too 👏🏾👏🏾🤟🏽🎉

I remember playing the full horizon chase 1 game, I definitely recommend it. I’m not really into racing games, but this one is just awesome.

Major milestone, Proud of you.

Wtf???? Didn't yet finish the vid but the second try is FIIIRRREEE🔥🔥🔥🔥😍😍😍 Love the sound

You nailed it bro! You really did.

this is content. keep on doing your thing man!

It's already crazy you're talking to Epic, but BARRY LEITCH the legendary Top Gear composer!? 😀 Anywho, I'm glad I came across this video this'll help me with my compositions for video games so I can get even better. This track sounds sick bro keep up the good work! 👍🏾

Yoo! Thats so sick, Congrats!

Personally I am very motivated by your video. I would definitely like to go down that route as a music producer to focus on video games the same way that you have actually stepped into that. Share a video on how one can actually approach video game publishers.

This awesome Simon! 🤩

My gosh Simon!!!! You are a beast!!!!

Loved ur Work , Gonna install the game now

That was cool. Good job Simon.
