If I've learned one thing by making this video it's that I really REALLY should stop hitting my space bar so hard! :) Thank you all for all the great comments, suggestions and questions! Episode two of this series is dropping tomorrow! 5/20/20

[@puyakhalili]

Looking forward to that! I am very curious what instrument you're using for the bass and cellos. Thanks for the video

[@zian3694]

I do it too sir, a lot, it's a fun thing sir,

[@JohNaArt7]

i have the same problem, i actually broke one key. Don't feel alone

[@gitarman666]

It must be a piano player thing I’m on my 3rd wireless Mac keyboard in 2 years they are thin and don’t require much force but I can’t help it I might switch to an off name compatible to save bread I do it subconsciously but I’m glad I’m not the only one

[@netunobeats]

1st thing I learned here too kkkkkkk

[@rocko9451]

Simplicity is the key for many aspiring composers. Short intro tutorials are a treasure for beginners. Subscribed.

[@apollorook5475]

I struggle with making orchestral music because I always try to overcomplicate it.😐

[@cyrilcalmes4208]

so do I... :(

[@wolfie8748]

Music is not in the notes but the silence in between. Don't try to write so much harmonies and etc. Maybe try writing less and simple as you can.

[@timkirchhof747]

@@wolfie8748 Music is the notes. Silence and space is a part of how the notes relate to each other. Such an annoying phrase. (citation: professional jazz musician and composer; me)

[@cococoffee2305]

Honestly, same here.

[@Will2.O]

Anyone wanna start a discord collab server so we can all work on a project?

[@jessealexander9419]

I wanna go start an avengers team with that type of music lol great job.

[@quentinmullinix8799]

Thank you for this training video. I've been searching for something like this for a long time. It's nice to hear each part separately so I can learn how to create my own orchestral composition.

[@shaihulud4515]

That's actually a fantastic approach to the subject! I was quiet amazed, when I found out how good this works! Nice job, thank you very much!

[@geejmauriva9736]

Thanks for this amazing tutorial! One of the best ones I've watched for simplifying this many times complex art of orchestration. I've got a great weekend ahead of me for playing around! Thanks and I have subscribed!

[@paulthemediacreator]

Excellent video, I love seeing how composers go from sketch to full arrangement. I’ve subscribed, I look forward to seeing more!

[@mukmusicdiary]

Please make more of these!! I love your tutorials!!! Thanks for sharing such wonderful content, this makes things feel way less intense and overwhelming for a beginner.

[@WeirdMedicine]

[@92keys524]

Love the easy-to-follow format. Thank you.

[@garyshirinian]

I loved what you've done . I love big orchestra arrangements. Just beautiful. Thx

[@paulcasanova9340]

Excellent, practical, and straight forward; removing the mystery from orchestration. Highly insightful and useful. Thanks!

That was awesome! I have combined orchestral elements to my music (I play metal), but it has always been such a huge task that it required a different inspiration from me, a state of spirit that I was not always able to achieve easily. But the way you demonstrated, it became easier! Excellent job!

[@tinminh4135]

Oh my god! Really like this tutorial. Im really love Orchestra music and this one is very helpful. Thank you for ur video! More like this please! U got my subcrise!

Thank you for this demonstration. Inspiring me to get off the fence and use some of the software/hardware I have been collecting over the years.

[@GrahamCaseyMus]

I love the combination of the horn patches. Great video.

[@bhargavavvs]

I would like to say a big " THANK YOU'

[@LosoIAm]

Many thanks for sharing! A good way to gauge the quality of the content of a video is: the viewers don't feel that time is dragging; in other words, this video is so good that 13 minutes (plus) went by so fast. I take it that the 20 down votes (as at mid May 2020) are by people selling orchestral contents! Another sub added to your growing list. Once again, many thanks for sharing - excellent stuff

[@VleiRatFilms]

Magic video .. So well done and useful to all us learner orchestrators (even the ancient ones like me)

[@martingiesenow]

Enjoyed that. Understood it too. Big sound. I thought the doubling up of the brass melody with two articulations to give it more attack was clever. Thank you.

as i use YT to learn new subjects ....i am amazed at how much there is to learn. I thought i was doing good when i learned music theory early in life. somebody would have told me I would use sound effects to create an orchestra compliation. i would have called them a liar! good job.
