I just got Komplete 12 Ultimate so I'm poking around looking at how to work all this stuff. Came across this...SO cool!!

[@WillWilson]

Nice, hadn't heard of Thrill before. Wasn't thrilled by the price though!

[@brianwatson77]

it's half price right now FYI.

[@WillWilson]

Brian Watson yeah spotted that and bought it!

[@HiLoMusic]

Its not that bad compared to professional level libraries like spitfire symphony strings

[@SoniqSounds]

haha

[@shitmandood]

Just wait for the sale. If you already make money from the music industry, you probably don't have to wait for a sale since it'll pay for itself.

[@ABE2000]

Neo-Classical, the new modern orchestra. This genre is really great.

[@edrock26]

Excellent tutorial! Thank you, for sharing your great wisdom!

[@saeidakbari4788]

Great Wisdom?? OK, I actually understand you are polite and appreciate the video and I appreciate it too, but isn't that just too much?!

[@ReubenCornell]

​@@saeidakbari4788 I think it's about right

[@aiden_macleod]

More of a demo than a tutorial. A tutorial explains why one element is chosen over another and explores the differences.

[@michaelmaclane5004]

You've somehow managed to amass an entire comment section full of brilliant and accomplished classical composers. Impressive, lol.

[@gerhardbinkele3753]

Reuben on all channels - but here as a composer. NICE !!!

[@nikovaude]

please please please do more of these

[@wolfgang2401]

Wow. That's really good.

[@Michael_RareZebra]

Great video - Thank you for all of the details!!!

[@kevindietz6470]

Great video, please do more of these!

[@bungsmuggler5212]

after watching this video alone i can say im convinced about buying komplete 11 ultimate

[@user-ic2km6mn4h]

Good ad. Vendors should appreciate this kind of approach more. More digital musician means more sales volume.

[@susiehb2093]

So very informative; even for an old and classically trained dummy. Thank you.

[@RoneySmithseedoflife]

Very cool video! Thanks a lot!

[@OliKember]

Cheers dude! Enjoyed the subtle use of Thrill.

[@tonitram]

8dio for the string very good

[@hawaiirealmedia5610]

That's a super nice result in a very short time. I like it.

[@AnthonySherritt]

Lovely! I find these videos so inspiring. Makes me want to create as well!

[@BerndHhn]

Just wow!

[@KingOfMinimalism]

I love it so much. Can I download the track anywhere? Please make a long version and send it to me

[@danielloewengrube]

Very nice! Thanks a lot

[@VAMedia-mv8go]

Amazing

[@MrMB5000]

this is amazing !!

[@doswellbeats]

This is nice 👍🏾 🔥I love NI kontakt

[@SoniqSounds]

great initiative from native instruments

[@mantrinbago]

Brilliant

[@aivarasburn]

Hey, the guy from Sonokinetic!

[@ReubenCornell]

...and many other videos 😀

[@BlackAera]

It's Sonokinetic guy!

[@TheSelfAwareIndianEmpath]

no, it's orange tree samples guy!

[@Holtermarvin]

Amazing video! I wasn't aware of a lot of the shown features like the arpeggiator or the repeater... shame on me!

[@von_Apa]

Thank's! Very inspiring!

[@Melanholix]

Great, thank you!

[@LosoIAm]

Wow, thank you for sharing!

[@NicolaiManolikakis]

Thank you very much... it was very ...enlightened

[@felixlecouey3563]

wow, nice work :)

[@RichardBoyer]

love this thank you

[@kazuma880319]

Any one who explain this chord progression? I think maybe Dorian Modal harmony..? Wrong?

[@HarmoChopin]

Fabuleux !

[@tritone-sub]

lol can hear the inspiration from Radiohead - Daydreaming in this track!

[@jim_dove]

It's kinda like Radiohead - Daydreaming in the middle part. Thank you!

[@davidkeegan6265]

Was thinking the same

[@oitavabilateral]

the piano became to sound like an harp. maybe it needs an individual equalization to bring back the initial timber.

[@niektenbrinke5733]

I think this should be considered as nothing more than a rough production. It really needs mixing since there is not much clarity in this mix, especially the piano is covered up in the 2nd half of the composition...

[@SoniqSounds]

that was a textured instrument

[@janwaldekranz2641]

Very nice and inspiring! Love Una Corda piano!

[@DL-1]

What are the specs of the computer that you are using?

[@FatalBlow113]

Sounds like all Star Trek music ever.

[@Jarodnoise]

Can someone tell me if this harmonics sound the same in symphony series or different?

[@Jarodnoise]

I already know. There is no harmonics for strings, just for violin, and it sounds different.

[@erskinejcurrie]

Yes, there is a slight difference. The symphony series has a greater sounding feel that would bring out your music more. Essentials are​ that just that, essential. It is a scaled down version of symphony series.

[@Director_S]

is this all in komplete 12?

[@StarShootex]

Can you guys please tell me what model of Apple Mac you're using? At 1:55, your Una Corda samples load in less than 1 second while mine take a full minute! I am aware that Batch Resave may help, but the truth is, my machine is simply not powerful enough.

[@RinaldoJonathan]

plot twist : it's a hackintosh.

[@TiagoNugentComposer]

It’s probably just sped up in editing

[@Cylume.]

I like this better than the new Star Trek Discovery opening theme.

[@issiewizzie]

discovery opening theme has grown on me ... still prefer Voyager

[@swynkbeats59]

Ugh... Can I get the komplete ultimate 12 edition please?

[@mightymikerocks]

How do you use this piano effects in Ableton 9?

[@codesymphony]

can I buy this on premium beat dot com

[@92AMO]

It sounds nice but this is in no way neo-classical. Confused.

[@augusto7681]

Right. Its just "movie score" style

[@mikeexits]

He said in the video that neo-classical is about changing up the conventions of classical music, which he did at least by having the viola play the melody a violin normally would. Beyond that I'm not sure, I never even heard of neo-classical before this video.

[@aiden_macleod]

@@mikeexits According to Elliott Jones of the Lumen Learning Institute, Neoclassicism in music was a twentieth-century trend, particularly current in the period between the two World Wars, in which composers sought to return to aesthetic precepts associated with the broadly defined concept of “classicism,” namely order, balance, clarity, economy, and emotional restraint. So, if you've never heard of Neoclassical, you must have been living under a rock

[@mikeexits]

@@aiden_macleod I appreciated learning from your comment until the last bit. Why include the rude comment? How is that productive at all for either of us?

[@aiden_macleod]

@@mikeexits Don't be such an oversensitive little snowflake. If you can't handle a little snide remark, how are you going to survive in the real world?

[@aiden_macleod]

Still can't hear the Major chord change.

[@TheSelfAwareIndianEmpath]

who else thinks they have heard this guy over other kontakt instrument companies like Sonokinetic and Orange tree samples lol? : D

[@SoniqSounds]

I def think I have

[@ReubenCornell]

You found me out!

[@agniabarto8896]

Скажите мне ,, нет🎸, и я обижусь всецело, да полнностью

[@FGC-Option]

Sounds like FFX

[@scantrontest]

Can you post the chord progression?

[@aiden_macleod]

It's on screen if you know what you're looking at.

[@D-One]

Kind of sounds like the Minecraft​ theme song.

[@KarMa-lx6oq]

Classical music isn't just slow music..

[@augusto7681]

This is not even neoclassical, this is "movie score" style.

[@PianoScoreVids]

@@augusto7681 yes, for neoclassical i'd rather think of prokofiev at least

[@walz1897]

ohh

[@ref_error6245]

how to: make cities skylines

[@Larrythebassman]

👍💥✨👏👏👏👏

[@killerbow80]

so runescape

[@enkibumbu]

RAM crash.

[@Samstrat]

What's with the rush? You outline all the parameters that you are selecting on each instrument but barely devote anytime to playing back the tweaked sounds in solo, for the viewer to understand and appreciate them. Can hardly make out the individual sounds when all the tracks are being played together towards the end.

[@SoniqSounds]

the point is to get through it quickly - most people dont have attention span to watch all of it

[@rmp5s]

The real point is to show the capabilities of the instruments. This isn't a tutorial, despite saying "How To" in the title. They should probably get rid of that from the title.

[@agniabarto8896]

Всусегда ВашЬъ

[@agniabarto8896]

всегда Вашъ, , Яр и Добрые Люди

[@agniabarto8896]

И, спасибо!

[@MikeUIibarri]

Where's Neo?

[@markyoung3006]

The idea that you put this together quickly is almost as absurd as following youtube videos of Gordon Ramsay cooking dishes.

[@Andhony9]

“neo classical“

[@shadowhenge7118]

Not bad, but damn you dont like giving people time to hear much of what you're working on. I was thinking this was a tutorial on public speaking at times.

[@ReubenCornell]

I like to keep things snappy

[@balloonpiracy]

wow this is like an ad to not buy the product. The sounds were used in a completely uninspiring way to create possibly the most vapid "neoclassical" composition I have ever heard

[@smash461986]

Was pretty generic wasn't it.

[@balloonpiracy]

it certainly was!

[@Hazelcut]

It's just here to quickly show you the possibility of the soundbanks, not to build a masterpiece

[@photomoco6629]

I wish I could score as vapidly as that. Would like to hear the naked piece. It does what soundtrack should do, IMHO.

[@jesuslovestoastyaya]

Geoffrey Hanson, I thought it was quite nice to be honest (reminded me of some Skyrim music haha). Hate to be that guy but I would love to hear what kind of masterpiece you could come up with in 9 mins

[@saboo_tage]

video was good until he started using violas 😂😂😂

[@AdrianoMariaMaiello]

A 6 years old child can write much serious music. Please!!!

[@AnthonySherritt]

Lovely! I find these videos so inspiring. Makes me want to create as well!
