This is exactly what I was searching for, I wanted to get a feel for how isolated orchestral parts sound in metal songs. It’s a whole new world for me, always wanted to write symphonic metal so I’m giving it a shot this year!

[@maxmolodtsov]

Yea, we just need mooooooaaarrr of the sympho-metal stuff covered! I’d love to see EPICA in the Nail The Mix, because we already have a lot of the extreme sympho metal (Septicflesh, Fleshgod Apocalypse), now we need something more smooth and nice.

[@AiiZStudio]

I’d love to see Jacob mixing Epica!

[@maxmolodtsov]

@@AiiZStudio Yes, Jacob Hansen is badass! Also I'd looove to see Kamelot featured on Nail The Mix too! Jacob mixed their newest album as well.

[@JesseZuretti]

Amen

Brilliant breakdown of this masterpiece

[@coreyalyn2249]

I love this song, and having a breakdown answering literally all the things i was wondering is such a gift, thank you wise men!

[@JesseZuretti]

My pleasure!

[@eyalleviurm]

Happy to help

[@NahtramMetal]

Nice to see some of the orchestration insights here!

[@JesseZuretti]

About time right? Eyal & I have wanted to do this for a long time, but the hard part is not making people fall asleep with technical details and theory ramblings - so hopefully this helps, and more like this around the corner

[@NahtramMetal]

@@JesseZuretti Ah well I don't think you really need to worry about that. If people are really interested and want to go more in that direction they'll watch. At least that's what I do. I've spend hundreds and hundreds of hours watching lessons about orchestrations, music theory, virtual instruments etc. What's making this video more unique is that it is tailored towards a metal arrangement which you don't find that often or even if it's mostly just people layering some string pad synth patch on top and call it a day instead of properly thinking about a more realistic orchestration aspect. (which of course is also fine, it depends on the result you want)

[@DennisTrovato]

I'm so glad Daath are back. I never got to see them before they went away.

[@boarderking133]

I wouldnt even begin to know how to compose with this much depth even if i did have this many thousands in plugins

[@JesseZuretti]

That was me 5 years ago. If I can do it, you can too!

[@eyalleviurm]

It all comes down to 1 simple and good idea. If you can do that the rest is just decoration.

[@boarderking133]

@@eyalleviurm that's actually super helpful. Just got bbc discovery so I'll see what i come up with

[@janrechberger8601]

This is pretty inspiring stuff, well done Jesse!

[@JesseZuretti]

Just seeing this - thanks, Jan! Means a lot! We gotta catch up sometime this coming year ❤

[@janrechberger8601]

@@JesseZuretti Yeah, absolutely!

[@guitarmichael]

This is an amazing sharing of wisdom and it is incredibly timely for me. Peace and love to the dawgz.

[@besubtle4747]

Love this. as a metal musician that tries to incorporate orchestral bits, this is very helpful!

[@askwho69]

amazing

🤍🤍🤍

[@AlexeySolovievMusic]

This is super incredible! Thank you so much for making this video. There is so much useful information in this video. If it would be possible please add “No rest, No end” to nail the mix. It would be super awesome to have an opportunity to mix this song. So very well produced and arranged song! 😀👍🔥🔥🔥

[@JesseZuretti]

So glad you enjoyed it!

[@viceversa7245]

We need a proper nail the mix for this banger

[@JesseZuretti]

;)

[@eyalleviurm]

There's something on the way

[@mattvdh]

sounds like a cool song dudes!

[@maplefoxx6285]

if he wants good trumpet go for Acoustic Samples V horns it is sample modelling is really the best, is a bundle too. The flugelhorn is amazing. thanks for the video

[@tavao420]

I feel like this is the kind of music that would actually benefit from an atmos mix, just from the sheer amount of layers in the arrangement dunno if thats ever going to catch on though

[@JesseZuretti]

That would be so sick honestly 😎

[@drmoshie]

Love this, thank you! Any more books or videos to recommend for a more in depth look into orchestration?

[@NahtramMetal]

There are lots of channels who cover that. Personally I really like Alex Heppelmann's videos but also check out for example Dirk Ehlert, Blakus, Daniel James, Ryan Leach, JunkieXL (Tom Holkenborg) Also the Vi-Control is a really good place for information.

[@JesseZuretti]

1) listening to classical music & soundtracks is the best first step - the same way we consume heavy music can translate greatly to composition. The more you listen, the further your ears will take you - and further than pedagogy, in my experience. 2) book I recommend: Scoring the Screen by Andy Hill - it will change your perspective about composing, whilst retaining your love for music and storytelling. It covers Trent Reznor, Hans Zimmer, and more - but also keeps it real. 3) the best way to learn how to program is to buy one great library and master it - Spitfire Audio provides free videos per library that can get you started. But learning the way the VST works, expertly, is crucial

[@JesseZuretti]

Also, so glad you enjoyed it!

[@michael_bane_official]

why couldnt you guys gate the microphones properly? this is unlistenable

[@metaldude1982able]

?

[@Kyp031]

[@JesseZuretti]
