How I Produce Neo-Classical Music [TRACK BREAKDOWN - HIRAETH]

[@GilreathDental]

Tom, beautiful composition. Video is so informative and actually quite refreshing to see your behind the scenes work (not quite like pulling your pants down mate). Many people wouldn’t do this. Love your whole presentation, self deprecation and huge talent. Please do some more walk throughs. -Paul

Hi, Thank you very much for the time you put into making your videos. I just discovered your channel and I'm watching all the videos. I find them very, very interesting. The music you make is very much in line with what I want to do, so any videos you upload will be very well received by me. Best regards.

4:40 In Japanese there's definitely a word for it and that's called 懐かしい ( Natsukashii). ❤

Loved the video! And yes, as a producer I think it would be really interesting to also see what kind of plugins you use and for what reasons you chose them for that particular project, or what you like about them in general. (I actually got Blackhole because you mentioned it in a previous breakdown video).

[@TomLJWhite]

Thanks so much! Will definitely add more detailed production videos to the schedule 😊

[@nathanielwise508]

This video was such a delight! Full of interesting insights and tips that I will certainly carry with me in my own musical efforts!

[@TomLJWhite]

So glad to hear it! Thanks for the support 😊

Beautiful song

Wonderful video man! I don't always watch long walkthroughs until the end, but I definitely did here. Great explanations on your creating process and I just loved how you focused on the musical side of things. I like plugin videos too, but there are already tons out there, anything that focuses on creativity / production and emotion is always great. Cheers!

Awesome video! I would be interested in seeing how you go about compression (be it on individual channels or on the group channels) as I have trouble with this and would like to see a professional mode of attack on that aspect of producing. Thank you for the awesome content!

Amazing track and breakdown, this helped me a lot when approaching neo stuff, thanks!

Beautiful

[@MadelnMachines]

What kind of RAM usage are you seeing in these projects? How do you end up needing 90 tracks?

[@dhulme]

Interesting that you've moved away from the mixing separately approach. I didn't realise you wrote so many library tracks! It sounds like you write one track every couple of days?! I'd be interested in your process for those. How do you create something original so quickly? How does the process differ for your released music?

[@TomLJWhite]

I will DEFINITELY be making videos about library music composition; already got several planned that should answer all of those questions 😊

I think the track is really beautiful, my hats goes off to you Good Sir, no but seriously it's a great track. But is it really neo-classical? I was searching for definitions and examples of neo-classical music on various platforms and I can't pinpoint whats common in them, and by the way most of the music I've found did not sound like that. This one I think would be something like and ambient film score, but not neo-classical. I am almost sure that neo-classical is performable music with acoustic music instruments, I might be wrong though. What do you think? How would you define neoclassical music? I'm just trying to gather some info and learn really, Thank you.

Classical/cinematic ambient, its not like other ambient, it can include synths but it mainly revolves around intruments used in contemporary classical music like piano and violin, Tony Anderson - Dreamlife/In the Distance and many of his other tracks are another good example. Film scoring pretty much revolves around modern classical most of the time, be it more ambient/cinematic or epic orchestral.
