Ashton Gleckman dude it’s amazing that you’re giving the Free Pack. Such a great learning tool, thanks!

[@mehranmosaddeq]

Hi Ashton, It seems that the MIDI and Wav files are not in the pack. I appreciate if you would upload them. thank you so much man, you're awesome.

[@graphenemusic5922]

Hey Ashton, only the cubase project file is in the pack, I would love to get the midi files! thank you!

[@DanTheSpan]

Great stuff, learned a lot here! Hope you'll keep them coming.

[@michelo6571]

I love this score! Incredible work, I always fall short videos! Waiting for the next video!

[@upsidedown8512]

my best movie score ever, thank you Ashton for sharing this.

[@SimonePucciRocco]

Hey Ashton! I love your work, I was wondering how you export the piano roll like from 0:58 Keep up the good work

[@christinablain2004]

Thank you so much for these videos. This is something I am very interested in doing as a career. I hope I will be able to create scores for film one day.

[@TRISCORE]

this is really well done composition and mix

[@TylerChristiaens]

Great work. You da man Ash! I love the melody at 5:30.

[@pouriakarami1800]

[@alirezayousefirad]

I'm so happy that find your amazing channel.

[@bartholomewmason2051]

Fantastic job Ashton! Super interesting and informative - very impressive.

[@Gabba111]

thank you so much for this Ashton!

[@laro_basterrechea]

Awesome! Thank you for this, I enjoyed very much. Great work.

[@remyfammm]

Very informative and helpful Ashton ! Keep making these useful contents mate !

[@TashiGyalpoMusic]

Thank you Ashton. I have always been a great fan of your behind the score series. I was just thinking if you could tell something about the mixing and mastering. :)

[@ProvineStudios]

The transparency works great!

[@olhapiano7026]

Hi Ashton! I only started to watch your 'Behind the Score' series and already am amazed by your work! Your videos really inspire me to write music! I know that there are already many suggestion about soundtracks to analyze. But i will really appreciate if you could do a 'Divergent' series :) Thank you! Regards, OlhaPiano.

[@Faltermeyer123]

Hey Ashton, I've been watching your videos for quite a while now and I have to say they're absolutely brilliant!! It would be awesome if you could do a Behind The Score episode for some of Ramin Djawadi's work on Game Of Thrones like the "The Winds Of Winter" or "Winterfell" themes. Another great one you could do would be the score to Vikings by Trevor Morris ("Ragnar's Sail"). Is it possible that you give us a little more in depth view on the harmonic progressions (used chords, voicings and modulations) in your future videos or include the MIDI Files like in this episode? This would be super helpful! Keep up the good work! :) Greetings from Germany

[@AshtonGleckman]

Hey, thanks! Great recommendations. I'm definitely planning on exploring Game of Thrones this year. Vikings is another great one for sure. There's just so much music in GoT that I would likely have to make it season based. Any season in specific that you would be interested in?

[@TylerChristiaens]

Faltermeyer123 That would be awesome.

[@Faltermeyer123]

Thanks for the quick response! Well, I mean the main motifs stay mostly the same but i liked the soundtrack to the sixth season a lot.

[@AshtonGleckman]

Faltermeyer123 gotcha, will definitely look into it. Thx again for the recommendation!

[@Faltermeyer123]

Awesome! Gladly again.

[@tuneboxmusic]

You're just a god!) Please tell me how to live the skill of chord selection? I heard the track and immediately know what chords are playing

[@ob1keno227]

Awesome video! Love it!

[@freetimetim9054]

Love this, btw the download file only has the session but no MIDI file or stems?

[@Grantborland]

Fantastic video, Ashton! Thank you for this information, I'm learning so much right now hahaha! Just out of curiosity, what libraries are you using for your percussion? especially those cymbal rolls? they sound gorgeous! :D

[@AshtonGleckman]

Grant Borland thanks Grant! The cymbals are CinePerc and the Timps are Percussion Redux from Spitfire. Also, that low boom is from HZ Perc.

[@polkmusic]

Very nice work

[@juanfradebernardi5968]

i have a prob with the download, the folder its empty, anyone help!

[@emanuel_soundtrack]

people want sophisticated techniques without being able to read them , this is a lot of work

[@radugrosu9445]

I was almost crying.

[@franklesher4459]

One interesting review you made, Ashton

[@studiognd]

Ashton, do you actually create these score remakes from scratch? Do you get midi from somewhere? Or you have notation, or do you go from just audio? How do you get all the details?

[@AshtonGleckman]

gnd Music Productions I don’t have MIDI or notation, everything comes from what I hear.

[@studiognd]

Wow, I'm completely impressed. May I ask for your purpose of doing this? Is it a exercise for you, to learn how other composers do it? Or to get templates for your own compositions? Anything else of value? Would you recommend to others to do this as exercise, and what is the biggest benefit you can observe from it?

[@sagarp2382]

Which Guitar Patch you have used?

[@Guilty404]

Well done, keep up the great job ;)

[@noman9528]

How long does it takes to do this openig piece of 8 min?

[@AshtonGleckman]

It's usually around a day for the initial sketches and formatting, then another few days to fill in all the orchestration, and then a final couple of days for the final mix. I think this one was around 6 days in total.

[@noman9528]

Ok than I am fine :) I am triang to compose some music for my self and I always get very frustraded about how long it does take to just arrange it and get the idea of what i want to life.

[@noman9528]

Hope you can understand me cuz i am from germany :P

[@AshtonGleckman]

all good :)

[@danielmanahan692]

why did you say they used a Harpsichord? when they used a Harp? very nice work here. subscribing. :)

[@AshtonGleckman]

They used an electric harpsichord on the main theme. It's very subtle. You can even see it listed on the IMDB. Thanks for subscribing! :)

[@carlosgomezasensio9057]

Thanks Sir.
