Thanks!!

[@redguitar6062]

Este video me ha venido DPM hoy. Ensemble patch +solo violin+solo cello! Ya no suena tan artificial. Muchísimas gracias Marc.

[@redguitar6062]

Que entusiasmo, Marc! Me encanta el formato del video.

[@D3NXIE]

You absolutely need no feedback. What you're presenting here is gold! No one explains these types of tips and dilemmas. Most channels focus more on the music and how it sounds at the end of a video and not explaining the subtle details that make up the core of any orchestration. I love your content, it definitely helps tremendously. Keep up the good work and thank you for taking the time to make such videos.

[@TheTheimpossible]

Yes!! Please do more of these and thank you for your work!

[@vanillarpgsoundtracks]

Marc, this is fantastic. This is exactly the kind of principles my music teacher enforced on our Wind Ensemble years back. Please please please do a long format video expanding on this. This is wonderful information and it will benefit more than just Film Composers. This benefits all composers.

[@strayedladka]

I agree with your point

[@JohanSamuel]

Many thanks Marc, this is great! I would love to see more of these videos.

[@paulytheking7365]

This is the first video I have ever seen where Bruce Broughton's name is mentioned. His music for Homeward Bound is one of my biggest inspirations. You have made my day!

[@nelsontolbertjr]

Glad I was able to find your channel. thanks for sharing these tips. Love ya energy too.

[@demaginheart1239]

Excellent tutorial ! Learned a lot. Love those videos you post each week. Always a pleasure to watch them. Accessible right now ! That's the thing ! Interesting and explained real fast. We all want more of those. Again, accessible now ! Think about all that knowledge for you all ! Thanx for that Marc and the Cinematic Composing team.

[@jonp.1084]

Really glad I found your channel. I've been filling my mind with as much composing resources as possible and I love your energy. Very inspiring sir, keep up the amazing videos!

[@VergeDee]

Hi! you do add a lot of value and it's amazing to watch a pro at work. Thank you for your time, I have learned a lot! Could you make a (big:) video on mixing a hybrid, opening the mix i that context, balancing the project, what synths do you use (do you sound design?) ... wow it's a lot so maybe you give us also a complete mastering video :D Thank you for the videos already made and hope to see many in the future! Keep going you're doing great!

[@mixourband]

Great video. Best explanation on combining instruments in my orchestrations, and on how to make sample libraries sound better. Thank you.

[@yovannalovic9384]

Marc, yes, pleeeeeease continue with some more like this!!!

[@janetbmusic]

Great video Marc! More please....

[@jackengland8942]

This is a great concise video, a lot of amazing tips in here that I'll be always conscious of in my composing from now on

[@JulioWilson26]

[@claudiopicchia2274]

Great-super video Marc, many thanks !!!

[@stevie_k03]

I would like to see more of this, make more of Orchestration videos,it's the part where I struggle with.

[@bbenz9750]

Please keep posting these. Thank you.

[@cobrofrio1744]

I need a lot of this thanks marc

[@karlaskmusic]

I love this! Please do more videos like this one.

[@jacekkarlowski]

Awesome, practical approach. Thank you for sharing this information. For me this approach works really well.

[@YKband]

So cool Marc! Thanks a lot for this video. Of course if you can do a video about this tricks that will be amazing. Really this is a wonderful information. A big big hugs from Taiwan.

[@timmcgarry7714]

Ok, I want more! 😀 Great succinct video !

[@synapticschism]

Hey Marc, former student here. All I write in this project started with a course at Cinematic Composing a couple of years ago. Please do continue to do orchestration videos. I just love colouring the pieces but I end up falling back to the same blends because I haven't developed the ear yet. Listening to orchestras is great but with this piece of additional knowledge it's easier to "search" for colours. Keep up the great work, it's appreciated!

[@sekritskworl-sekrit_studios]

BREATHTAKING video! Thank you.

[@charleschlela]

Very interesting Marc ! Love this ...Cheers.

[@demaginheart4demaginheart436]

Great tutorial. i'm learning new stuff with that one. Thanx to Marc that had took his time to make this one ! Really instructive and captivating. An excellent way to dive into cinematic music and music in general. Like this tutorial for sure !

[@jeffbird5082]

I think this was a fantastic idea and learning experience! I would love to see I’m depth content of this in the future!

[@gabrielmacarron]

I have just found this channel and it is gold. Despite my English is not very good, I can follow you, and the content in this video help me a lot to improve the ochestration, so now I suscribed, and thanks a lot!!

[@Duret422]

Gracias, excelente video!

[@pongsakornbunmee663]

[@JayMitchellMusic]

Keep this content going!!! Got valuable tips I’m going to implement now!! Let’s definitely do brass next!!!

[@Gravyandtatoes]

You have great energy! It's clear you're passionate about music.

[@kweissman]

I like this format, Marc! Succinct, pithy, and insightful points coupled with the rationale and context. The graphics reinforce your points and your passion, making for a delightful and effective way to learn the more subtle aspects of the topic. Bravo! 👏

[@CinematicComposing]

Wow Ken! If I had to select a winner comment... it would be this one! So well written (I had to go to wordreference to find out what half the words meant! 😅🤣) and so well put! And also so good for my ego! 🥹 haha Seriously. Thanks for the comment. It's really helpful. Much appreciated 🙏😍 I'll paste this to the editors so they know they also did an amazing job!

[@danielel9191]

Love your energy! Thank you I am hooked! I would like also if you could tell me what type of automation controller you are using. I have tried all kinds and am still looking for a good, easy to use and budget friendly controller.

[@vd12]

It’s a pity you don’t show examples when you give the advice (except the last hack) good video

[@Doty6String]

Superb explanation thank you!

[@UKRwebTV]

Love the format

[@ShivSagar010]

Thank You Very Much Sir! 🙂🙏

[@Name-wr9gg]

[@enelrluissalazararrieche4796]

Gracias Marc..!!

[@saifbartar8205]

Your videos actually help all the aspiring composers a great deal!! Best wishes ✨ keep making the wonderful content

[@filipepinto87]

Wow nice class 😊👍😊👍😊

[@josean_piano]

THANKS!

[@rtmusic6254]

Hey Marc ! Great video as Always ! I have one question, why we can't listen your music for movies on Spotify or Deezer, or just purchase a CD ?

[@davidostrem5688]

This is EXACTLY what I wanted

[@elishaqalo]

If anyone loves this, checkout his Cenitmatic Composer Student courses on their website! I love learning from Marc and the resources they have! Learned more yet again! Thank you sir! Please keep sharing!

[@Mateo_Romero]

Whilst slightly late, this is me letting you know this is a great type of video

[@Svm777]

Hey, Marc! I've been following the e-mails and occasionally the videos for quite some time now, and I must say, as interesting as some of the previous ones were, THIS is what is lacking in general everywhere on KZbin! I particularly LOOOVE that you're just exploding with phrases and ideas and sometimes I have to stop and rewind 5 seconds to fully grasp the concept; but maybe, speaking from a general audience point of view, this is way too condensed and fast. Anyways, you'll have to wait for more feedback to know if that evens holds up! Qué buen trabajo han hecho (vosotros y todos que han participado) aquí!

[@CinematicComposing]

Magnífico comentario!!! Muchas muchas gracias! All this helps so so much! This video resonated with so many of you so I'll definitely do more of these and your comments help us shape the next videos! I'm so happy you liked it!

[@drewpatrickcampbell]

Marc, as a philosopher once said, "Baby, now that I've found you I can't let you go". Awesome teacher.

[@clemfung5373]

superb !

[@robertbaileymusic]

Hi thanks for this, just curios what camera you are using? thanks

[@CinematicComposing]

A7siii

[@cosmicprison9819]

So does this mean the double bass and the tubas can be most easily left out in a band context? Because then you’ll have a bass guitar to do that job.

[@javiercasalderrey9905]

Sería genial que lo hicieras en español y, si no puede ser, al menos hacerlo un poco más lento.😄

[@ronwess]

There are millions of video's for scoring which to choose. This is my first production that i will be involved in musically so im everywhere learning progressions , software what software to use for scoring learning terms etc. Shooting starts in 3 weeks.... could you please help or advise me to where i can learn the most in the least time. Thank YOU for this video,PeaceLove&GodBless

[@rasputin1917]

Bass instruments: you are wrong: one of THE most gutsy orchestral bass sources is the contra bassoon. Much gutsier than the tuba. Contra bassoon: Superb in accompanying that lyrical string ensemble making the floor literary tremble when in support of the double basses. Like no other.

[@LimitedEdition30]

chapters would be good additional touch

[@Endhucarter]

I never received the mail, now is says offer has expired :(

[@mockupsaxer9983]

Do you use circular breathing while talking?

[@DrCorpse]

😂

[@CinematicComposing]

🤣 The editors make me look good... but I have to actually repeat each phrase 5 times till I get it right! LOL

[@javierestevez9680]

Modulation video plz =(

[@SylviaTriant]

Great video-great hacks, but you really need to calm down. 🤪😂

[@CinematicComposing]

I just get very excited about this! 🤣 I'll do my breathing exercises before start talking about orchestration next time! LOL

[@NancyPrestipino]

Marc is always this excited. It’s one of the most wonderful things about him and very inspiring! I am a former Momentum graduate. Marc is a genius.

[@SylviaTriant]

@@NancyPrestipino I am also a great fan of hism He's really good! It's just that sometimes the excitement is a bit too much for me. Although my comment had a great dose of fun! Maybe you didn't catch it! 😂I am also thinking of taking part in the Momentum program as soon as I can. Best wishes!

[@baldwyntin4959]

Been in a fight Marc?

[@wildhorsemusic1111]

Piano is a stand alone instrument.

[@christock1973]

mahler was austrian, not german..

[@soltr_soundeffects]

now German😏🤫😉

[@AlanPurpleOwls]

Yea, mmm, yeaa, mmm, yea, BUT, what's that on your nose dude.

[@Todzuum]

The bandage on your nose? Did you look at another girl?

[@vanillarpgsoundtracks]

He looks like he has a cold and thats a nasal strip to help open the airway

[@Todzuum]

@@vanillarpgsoundtracks lol I know I was just kidding

[@AdamOctorachmadi]

probably bcs he got caught spending their saving on another library.

[@CinematicComposing]

Definitely another girl! LOL

[@Woogadahoomph]

Very informative & entertaining video Marc! I really loved the last section with the strings 🩷💜🩷

[@williamgeorge719]

Keep up your enthusiasm always. This is going to be awesome!
