Hi! the performance technique "fill" is a custom performance technique. you can actually create one and assign a popover for it. in this case, i created "fill", "light fill", "overdrive", "distortion", etc..... and saved the file as a template so I don't have to create it again on a new project.

Thank you. This bass is a Riverhead jazz fretless bass. :)

You're welcome :)

Hi!! Honestly, no. I write for a tv show and the audience will not notice them. I love how Cinematic Studio Series instruments sound and it has replaced my previous string library and woodwinds in my template :)

Hi albertpepper1 . The first step for me was to setup and sync the frame rate of the video to a Dorico project. After that, it's just a matter of choosing a tempo and composing music that would hit the cues and scene changes in the film. This is why it is important to setup the video first before writing anything in Dorico. Hope this answers your question :) Thanks!!

@@JCMagsalin Hi Juan thanks so much for the reply and makes totally sense (that score would look a mess if messing with signature tempo all the time). I guess my struggle is that I don't know how to sync the frame rate of the video to a Dorico project. Any suggestions about that or link to watch about it? Thanks so much

@@albertpepper1 you're welcome :) i usually do it manually by checking the video file itself for its frame rate, then setting the frame rate of dorico to match the file. Maybe there's an official Dorico video about syncing video in their youtube channel :)

@@JCMagsalin Thanks will definitely check it out. So you do everything in Dorico, right? You don't set the markers in Cubase and export all in Dorico in a second step?

@@albertpepper1 yes. for this video and this workflow, i set my markers in dorico while composing. no need to set it in your DAW and import in Dorico. I think I have another video with markers. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5nTk2inga2AqNU

hi @narldlab :) unfortunately, ownership of the score and parts for this song is with Ogie Alcasid and Manila Philharmonic Orchestra. I do not have a copy of it. The digital copy I have in my iPad was deleted after the show.

@@JCMagsalin oh I see! Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.

Thank you :)

Thank you! :)

Thank you Joaquin! :)

Thank you also Henry! Glad you enjoyed it.

You're welcome Henry. Right now, I'm teaching online through a local college. I have not made my lectures yet available publicly. But who knows... I might have time in the future to prepare materials for public consumption on orchestration topics.

@@JCMagsalin Well that would be great, especially since there are many new Dorico users (like me) who are thirsty for more real-life examples of scoring. Especially when taught by someone who doesn't automatically assume that we already know most of the building blocks of orchestration. It's great to see an arranger/composer in action in a notation program, and patiently explaining what he has done. So, thanks again.

Thank you Jeremy! Yes, I always check if my composition and mix will interfere with the more important dialogue. That’s the main reason I added the score and music after the cue. Good luck to us all! :)

Thank you Luwy! Good luck to us all :) I'm based here in the Philippines.

Thank you Jennifer and best of luck to all who joined!! :)

thank you Alain!! :)

Thank you Javier!

Thank you Basil!

Sure! I'll keep you in mind when I do something for cello again :)

Hi Frank, If you like, I can send you both the piano and cello score for this composition for you to use freely. Just let me know how to send it to you. :)

Thank you! Yes, for the video, I really didn't want to overpower the dialogue with the music so I made a separate video of just the music with the score. Thanks and good luck to us! :)

@@JCMagsalin Curious, what sound library did you use, and what program for the score?

@@FrankBell Hi Frank. The notation software I used in the score was DORICO, and for the mockup in my DAW: Strings: Cinematic Studio Strings, Cinematic Studio Solo Strings, WW: Cinematic Studio Woodwinds Solo Horn: Vienna Symphonic Library Special Edition.

Thank you Dav! Good luck to all of us who joined :)

Thank you Steve! Good luck to all of us who joined! :)

@@JCMagsalin 👍

Thank you Joaquin! :)

Salamat Peds! :) Baroque style writing fits well with the setting. The tricky thing is to hit the scene / mood changes in that style of writing.

@@JCMagsalin Yes sir!

Hi Aaron. I saw your post also in the Dorico FB page. thank you for sharing this video there. I've tried to recreate this in Dorico 4 and, on my end, the "insert page" button appears. I'm not sure why it's not available for you. After exiting the "edit master pages" by clicking apply, did you get a blank screen with no pages? What happens for me is sometimes I get one page, and sometimes I get no pages. In the case when I get no pages, the "insert page" button is available for clicking on my end. I'll try to figure this out and send you a video reply through the Dorico FB page when I can. thank you again Aaron!

Salamat Nino :)

Salamat Nino! Inspirasyon ko dito sa short composition na ito yung soundtrack ng Transformers Movie nung 80s :)

@@JCMagsalin Yun yung kalaban nila si Unicron. Gusto ko yung song "The Touch" Maraming beses ko pinanood yon movie na yon sa Betamax and VHS.

@@ninoregalado ako din. yung The Touch tsaka Dare :) nakakaiyak sakin dati yung pagkamatay ni Prime tapos kilig naman nung tumugtog yung The Touch kay Rodimus Prime :)

@@JCMagsalin Glorious yung emotion ko nung nabuksan ni HotRod yung Matrix then naging Rodimus Prime. Hala.. gusto ko tuloy hanapin at panoorin ngayon, hehehe.

Thank you Chloe

Joaquin! naku, pwede ka naman mag tanong sakin anytime. PM is the key. hehe.. Thank you also Joaquin! :) share this to your friends and colleagues. sabihin mo ikaw yung isang student dun sa thumbnail nung video. hehe.. ta-tag ko yung mga ma-identify ko na students sa thumbnail. :)

@@JCMagsalin Ay oo nga noh sir! Hahahaha andun pala ako! Hehe. Will definitely share this sir! Thank you po ulit! Btw gustong gusto ko rin po yung Lento for Cello na composition niyo! Hehehe
