Thanks. That was good. I figured out modulation already via ears and the shape of my composition or the structure of it, or the melody. But i like how you explained regarding brass, and the sus cymbal. Very relative. Good one!

[@brunosantannasyncmusic]

Amazing work, man! Congrats!

[@JacobRobergeQC]

I usually stay away from online courses, but yours seems to be exactly what I've been looking for. Might give it a shot !

Would be interesting to see a video on your current Logic template!

[@maplefoxx6285]

if you don't have expression in libraries (most don't) you can automate the track volume in a similar manner. I know a game composer of 15 yrs who is doing this on every instrument track, it works out very well.

[@mosstet]

Ye. In ableton, i have a utility on every track and just automate the volume. I leave CC11 alone. It ends up getting fiddly.

[@ivantorrent495]

You can achieve interesting results if you automate gain of high shelf eq in a combination with a standard volume automation. It will sound way more realistic because of different high frequency balance in a loud parts and soft parts

[@magicoctopus8701]

So basically expression is volume?

[@MiguelGonzalez-tj4vk]

Hello Zach! Thank you so much for your videos, I don't miss a single one, I learn something new every day. One question, what brand is the faders module you have? Where can I buy it? Thank you!

[@yimwav]

fantastic tutorial zach!

[@minor_shadow3799]

What music composition and notation software and sounds and other stuff would you recommend to someone who wants to create realistic sounding scores? I have a Windows computer so I was wondering if Cubase is as good as Logic.

[@nicolaicrabtree1336]

This is REALLY great

[@lkoleda]

Hi Zach ... thank you for your youtube channel and all your videos very interesting ... hmm, tel me, ... Can you tell us more about the controls you have with your iPad located to the left of your keyboard? So I don't know, is it for example to call your different sections ( str, brs, ww, etc.. ) directly in Logic? (personally it's something like that that I'm looking for) Thanks again...

[@contentuser8821]

What´s the name of the fader controller. thank you for your videos! =)

[@probindemufhoes42069]

looks like the Sparrow 4x100mm MIDI controller

[@ZachHeyde]

That's the one!

[@contentuser8821]

THE MAN OF THE YEAR, thanks a lot

[@VisualVEN0M]

Whats the advantage of using the fader vs just editing the volume and expression after with your mouse?

[@ZachHeyde]

Generally you can get a more humanistic performance, as you're performing the fader like an instrument 👍🏻

[@אבי11-ב8ח]

Can you make a video of what plugins you use for each instrument? 🙏🙏🙏

[@ZachHeyde]

That's part of the mockup course! 👍🏻

[@אבי11-ב8ח]

@@ZachHeyde I'll check it out!!!! Thank you for your work, I learn a lot from you! 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱💝💝

Do you have anything for a beginner looking to start learning how to create string orchestrations?

[@justatooth]

This is gold

[@TuhinTulsyan]

Hi.... I am highly inspired by your music... I started learning piano but then eventually my interest in multi instrumental music evolved a lot... And hence right now i am working on my transcribing capabilities... Also i am wondering if i must sell off my digital piano and buy a midi controller because i feel the keys on a digital piano are not suitable to play everything... Would you help me with some suggestions/advice? 😊

[@nikitapisek2901]

I like how brass sounds (it is must have), but how durable is that midi fader if i do so much phisical movement for every single sound?

[@ZachHeyde]

Had mine for a few years and no issues yet!

[@JacobRobergeQC]

​@@ZachHeydeDo you have a link to this midi fader?

[@paulgreblick]

What controller is that?

[@DPiano]

Hi Zach, thx for the video! Always as it need to be and helpful. I have an irrelevant question, i would be so happy if you answer it. I am considering to get a monitor headphone. Is this you use in this video a monitor headphone? Is it useful for mixing/mastering processes? Do you recommend it?

[@MarcusGPG]

Really helpfull video as always! Do you hade different fader setups oon different instruments? Like, Volume on the second fader for the perc and expression for the brass?

[@srt5490]

Hello Zach, I'm a big fan of your videos, including this latest one - truly informative and inspiring. If you don't mind, I have a quick question that's slightly off-topic. I'm on the hunt for an electric bass guitar VST suitable for Jazz and Bossa Nova music. Any recommendations? I've already got some excellent Double bass instrument VSTs, like the one from Insanity Samples' Cool Jazz Collection, which fits the genre perfectly. I've been eyeing the Orange Tree range too; while it's a bit pricey, the quality seems immense. I'm definitely planning to go for El Piano from them. Any thoughts you have would be awesome. Chers,

[@OnkelPanter]

When talking about "Expression" here, what specific parameter does that translate to with the Cinematic Studio libraries?

[@ZachHeyde]

That'd be MIDI expression, so volume of the MIDI (but not Kontakt's volume)

[@eLvNorton.]

Yeeeah!!! New video

[@davidpreeceorchestra80]

Fantastic video, watched it the second you posted it! How does using modulated legato campare to tenuto or marcato for brass? When do you know which one to use?

[@ZachHeyde]

Depends on the library, but the second two can be great for more front-heavy attacks like sforzandos or accented playing 👍🏻

[@davidpreeceorchestra80]

@@ZachHeyde hmm alright haha Btw can you do a future video on Ludwig Göransson? I just found out that he used to study music in a town literally 30minutes from where I live so I would love to learn more about his style 🫶

[@shawn_edwin]

WOW! 🤩

[@zurichtravelandreview7488]

IS SO COOL DESIGN SOUND ❤🎉👍

[@damascusmusic7]

I saw in another video you holding up an orchestral score book for a film - does anyone know where I could get one of those?

[@nevets0910]

Omni Music Publishing or Chris Siddall Publishing are worth checking out
