I love it too. Ton of fun to use and can get some really inspiring things going!! 😎🔥

[@ElizaNight1]

I'm a self-taught pianist migrating to film scoring and orchestra production. I can't thank you enough! This video is the only video I found that is both detailed and helpful when teaching others what they can create with nothing. Most videos out there just play the track through with no explanation of which instruments they used, what vibe they were going for and how to piece it all together! Very informative and amazing work!

[@ElizaNight1]

Also, don't worry about the baby crying in the back. I also have a baby in my ears when producing XD

[@kimtaemusic]

This is really a something! Thank you for a perfect guide for the Spitfire LABS. I love it!

[@Superdelphinus]

They are ridiculously good value for the (no) money! I use them all the time in my work - playing around with the different variations with some of them is fun too. I often myself using the various string ones instead of their more expensive orchestral plugins sometimes because they can sound quite a lot more acoustic (though obviously they are a lot more limiting in terms of the articulations you can use).

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

I agree 100%! The BBC orchestra is also free if you do their survey (for the time being). And that sounds pretty good. Yeah the loading time helps too compared to bigger ones also.

[@hectorviolin]

Sir, You inspired me! Thanks for taking the time to do all this for people like us. Many blessings from Honduras

[@fabiofernandez7501]

I’ve been a piano player since I’ve been 14. Have always been discouraged about making my own music because I had no knowledge of how to record or create anything. I’m 29 now and all the free resources available online (Labs) and content like this have encouraged me to give it a shot! Thanks for uploading.

[@chandra_creator]

I've been confused about how to get started with DAWs (I'm an intermediate-level pianist & sort-of-beginner violinist who wants to make music at home too, and before this the only music software I had figured out was Musescore, which does help with midi but yk wanted to expand my skills). This video actually made a lot of things make more sense

[@Vincent-uf7eh]

BBC sympthony orchestra is actually 40 dollars. it's only free if you apply for it and then wait for two weeks which is exactly what I did. i legit forgot I applied for it and I was just checking my email one day and I got a free orchestra lol

Nice Nathan, I have recently downloaded LABS from Spitfire, absolutely brilliant and just love what you put together in just under 30 mins, but it was all to fast for me, being new to Logic?

Loved your short compo, brilliant as always

Hi Nathan Larson. My name is Orrin. I just stumbled across your video on using just Spitfire labs today. Your were very inspiring to watch in creating your musical ideas. I’ve just been introduced to Spitfire and their labs recently, plus their free Discovery program. I have used any of their stuff yet because I had to buy a new Mac. To make a long story short, I’ve truly enjoyed watching you create music today and you have given me some serious ideas on how to create some music for myself today. I wish continued success in all of your music endeavors. I’ll keep checking out your future videos. Thank you for the inspiration today. All the best to you and your family. Have a wonderful day and keep creating beautiful and great music.

I only recently started getting my feet wet with music production.

[@MirkoMancini]

Man, it's amazing the way that you compose, you're so talented!

[@LaraSchilling]

Nathan! This track is, to quote you, 'SO DOPE"! I don't know if you've seen the pre/mid/post roll ads on KZbin recently, this piece reminds me of some of the scores for those "indestructible drones" and "game changing air conditioner" ads, they've been going at the cinematic scores recently. Kinda want to get back into scoring/sound design stuff. There's only so many of those elements you can fit into a single song before it sounds too over the top. Great work!

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

THANKS!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻😎😎🔥🔥 it was a ton of fun to do! Happy to hear it worked out and is dope!

[@Insert_Bland_Name_Here]

You know, you'd expect more KZbin Producers to have videos that actually show how to do the music making thing, instead of just ranting on and on about production mistakes beginners make and all kinds of new plugins and libraries. This is a lot more interesting for me at least, because instead of just having a finished piece of music with a ton of plugins on top and saying "this is what Spitfire LABS sounds like", we get an honest, raw and unfiltered demonstration of just how good it sounds. Plus watching more skilled musicians compose music is just fun.

[@FLH3official]

Even if I own some Spitfire's classic, and not free, libraries, I would say LABS is definitively a very inspirational package if you are in a certain kind of music. Personnaly I've maybe 5 or 8 titles which I've started to compose with one of theses LABS sounds. Maybe in some of them I haven't kept the original LABS sounds but the compositional process began with few keys & chords of them. And I've many "stacks/patches" in my Logic's library which are made with a bit of LABS in them.

[@NathanJamesLarsen]

Yes I use them even when I've got loads of paid libraries for sure. I use the Soft Piano all the time and I love the dulcimers

[@FLH3official]

@@NathanJamesLarsen The soft piano, obviously, the dulcimer, the choirs and the "scarry strings" are ones of my favourites. Try to lay in a instrument stack one of these long scarry strings with a distant piano... Instant ambiance for a scandinavian noir series. (lonely snowy road, sounds in the police radio, finding a dead body in a forest, etc.. You get it :-) )
