Hey 8th, I’m listening to your video in the background while at my 9-5 job. Even without watching the video, the intel is fantastic. You have a new subscriber my friend. Great video! 💪🏽💯
Also what is a good way/video to look for understanding the altered chord thing you did, I have watched videos on harmony but there aren't much that is explained there so, do u have any specific people/video u would recommend?
100% thanks for the support, as for finding out about chord progressions and chord types, I suggest watching videos on playing the piano and then trying to replicate that into midi. My favorite channel is PianoPig for jazz kind of harmony and progressions
Absolutely, thats one of the great things about putting tracks together like this and with vsts. It can also be good for drafting an idea to be played by musicians or built upon by others
Abbey Roads Vintage Drummer by native instruments, it has one of my favorite drum sounds when it comes to VSTs. There are some others I use too if you need recommendations
thanks 8th. learned so much that I actually wanted to know. especially how to make those tom and snare rolls sound realistic. you gatekeeping the drums or nah?
It was a kontakt 7 bank I found on reddit but I dont see it available to download anymore, I recommend pianobook's Manthey Klaviano with decentsampler or Vintage Upright from SimpleSam
please bro your samples are so sick at least show us what effects you use like a full sample breakdown. Just make a masterclass or something where you show your secrets and go in depht with you production. I would gladly pay for a masterclass
Where all the sounds come from?.. organ ? Glockenspiel? drums? vocals? the drums came tight.. you a drummer? liked all them rolls! good stuff! thanks for sharing! :)
Vintage Organs, Abbey Roads Vintage Drummer from Kontakt and the vocals are from EastWest Hollywood Backup Singers and Voices of Soul. The glockenspiel is from BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover, also I've never played the drums or any other instrument as of right now, but I plan to learn in the near future. Thanks for watching!
Good work ! 💪🏾... How does this method compare to using plug-ins like scalar 2. Is the process similar, or is there an advantage over the other? I'm fairly new in this area of composing so generally asking. Thanks
Scaler 2 or plugins like Ripchord can be great to come up with the ideas, although I think it helps to be somewhat aware of how the progressions or harmonies work so you can continue to build on them
Piano: Kontakt - Upright Piano (I dunno where to find the library anymore, I can suggest a different one if needed) Brass: Kontakt - Session Horns Pro String Section: Kontakt - Session Strings Pro 2 Violin: Kontakt - Session Strings Pro 2 Organ: Kontakt - Vintage Organs Bass: Kontakt - Scarbee Rickenbacker Bass Choir: EastWest Hollywood Backup Singers Lead Choir: EastWest Voices of Soul Glockenspiel: Spitfire BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover Drums: Kontakt - AbbeyRoad Vintage Drummer
Authentic as in made from scratch, nothing wrong with using a VST it’s like an instrument just digital you still have to know music theory and a bunch of other stuff
there is a level of nuance you will never get from midi only real instruments recorded with audio and human touch, thats a big part of soul music, if this was house or pop i would not write a comment at all, but i dont agree with the title of the video then using midi instruments@@seang.6245
Yeah you have a point, it might not be "Authentically" sampling but in the sense of making an authentic composition I think it fits well, especially since recording a dozen instruments professionally isnt exactly accessible to everyone. This was as close to "authentic" and "original" as I currently could get, but I appreciate the point I'll remember that when I name my videos
