Thanks a lot for this. I can recommend Pianote it's just unlimited very nice

7m31s that's where this said buy me

Cheer~~~(of sound, especially recorded music) having a lot of or too much treble.😊

Can I use east west hollywood orchestra opus edition for commercial purpose like scoring for films, video games, TV etc.

Hi Robert. This is such an invaluable video. May I ask how you managed to get the + button to appear in the mixer panel after your first track. I can't see that feature on my mixer and I do have the latest version of logic?

I recently tried to compose with a template where short and long notes were on separate tracks. I gave up. I really can't work like that. Because, in the same musical phrase, I will have Long and Short notes... Trying to separate them when composing is such a pain. I swear I tried, but I gave up ! I 'm definitly a keyswitch guy. Also, when listening to an orchestra in a Hall... well, the players do not move to a smaller room each time they have to play short notes. Even if I understand that it's easer to deal with for sound engineers, it's totally unnatural. Am I a lost case ?

So happy for you Robert! Best of luck with the piano!

And here it is 1 year later and on sale for $149 at plugin boutique.

It's amazing what you are doing, and I can relate! For me it's that I know how to play ukelele, I have composed and written songs and even recorded the demos with my ukulele but I don't feel like a composer at all because it's the only instrument I know and I don't even know how to read sheet music (I'm a "learn by ear" person). I'm currently in the process of learning piano as well and practice every day for 10min minimum, plus learning to read music but the feeling of imposter syndrome is real!

I think you echo a lot of similar sentiments. On a daily basis, I'm confronted with my own internal goblin, squeaking at me, 'who the hell do you think you are?' I can't really play the piano, but can compose. My piano limitations are frustrating - if I could play freely then I'd be able to improvise more and better enact the ideas floating around in my brain. However, sometimes I come across people who really are good pianists - but they cannot play without the sheet music. They've no idea what they are playing, because they don't understand the composition / have little theory beyond what they need for the manuscript. It's as if the piano is just a mechanical activity, no emotion or creativity involved. I find this quite sad, and in that sense I feel lucky. I'm aware of the power of Chromatic Mediants. I feel the space of open and sus chords. I know what the Dorian Vamp is, and what emotional effect it can have on me (and hopefully others) in my compositions. And that's one thing I can play too ;-)

Best to you Robert! My favorite TH-cam piano teacher is the keys coach. Very well designed and enjoyable sessions of about 20 minutes. I always walk away with something useful to add to my toolbox 😊

Wow! You just described me as a composer. Thanks for validating the fact that I don't need to be an accomplished musician to be a composer. I play a little keyboard and a few other instruments, but not well enough for performance. But I have been considering focusing on improving my keyboard skills and you've given me motivation to do so. Thanks!

Great Video!!! Thank you for sharing your struggles.

We’ll see how we do on our ‘odyssey’ together….! I’m in a similar boat to you where I really enjoy the theory and composition but my real world instrument experience is relatively limited. I’ve always dabbled with guitars and pianos/keyboards but have never had a ‘lesson’ as such. Just started my piano journey, too…! …and Saxophone… and harmonica… and tin flute…! 😂 Oh - and the violin too…! My neighbours aren’t going to like me very much…!

Great video! I totally get what you are saying. I play classical guitar, and I have for many years. That is where I started composing. I started by composing for classical guitar. Now, I compose for lots of things, and I wish I was better at piano. That would really make composer easier and faster. I totally agree on the imposter syndrome too. I learned a lot about music theory when I was studying classical guitar, but I don't have a degree in music. So, I always feel like an imposter. Great video!

I am not a composer but I have followed the Thinkspace Bootcamp this summer. Originally a drummer, I can’t play the piano but have done so since I was young if there were any piano around. Isn’t just loving and learning to play enough? In general I love to have some years of noodling around before I can call myself knowledgeable in anything. I pick everything up that I walk across and like and I dive into it. I happen to like jazz a lot. There’s something to those 7 chords that I find is so rich in color. Also jazz offers a platform to improvise a lot and isn’t John Williams a jazz pianist himself!? Jazz obviously has made his composing richer, at least so they say. I think that for learning to play the piano you should be loving the sound of the exercises you play. I don’t want to play boring exercises. Right now I am following a Pianote jazz course. Piano with Jonny is very interesting but the pace of exercises goes a little too fast to my liking. But what’s nicer than noodling around at your piano? If that’s the case, you’ll progress no matter what. The drive you have Robert, to close some gap in your piano playing abilities will certainly bring you a long way. Just enjoy the ride. Btw: I had no idea of our similarities in this field😊

Sooo relatable! Love this storytelling format Robert 😍🙌 Let’s see how our piano journey goes!

Dude I LOVE your energy in this video. Have a ton of fun on your piano journey! 😁🙌

Can i use musio1 for commercial work like film scoring?

So happy for you Robert!!! P.S. Love the idea of calling a quarterly goal a "Quarterly Odyssey" instead, it feels way more fun haha 😂

Robert I have LOVED your channel and learned a lot from you as a fellow media composer. I have a piano teaching channel that might have some videos that could help you out 🙂 with regards to piano @olympiapiano p.s. I have lots of students who started around age 60 and played well into their 80s. You are MUCH younger than that, so you got this!

Good for you Robert! For the beginning of your piano practise, I highly recommend getting a private teacher who will be able to suggest adjustments in your technique, so you use your fingers and wrists in the most efficient way and minimize the risk of any long-term injuries/pain. Even the right height of your chair might minimize back pains! Obviously you should play the pieces you like listening to, but solid technical basics like playing scales and passages will help you in playing more complicated improvisations and accompaniments ad hoc (might make composing in DAW easier). Carl Czerny’s etudes are classic practicing pieces I used to learn, although most of them are quite boring. 😅 Lastly, when I was starting out, Piano Around the World YT channel and Dotan Negrin’s journey of learning and practicing piano improvisation around the world was very inspiring to me and made me realize the beauty of true improvisation and accepting there are no real mistakes - just unexpected sounds that are part of the music. 😉 Good luck!

Is that an iPad you are using? What app is that? Do you have a list of what you use for composing? Thanks

Hi Robert and thank you for this. I was in your January 2024 ThinkSpace Orchestral Composition Bootcamp. I later found your TH-cam channel and videos which I enjoy very much I had a hell of a time creating the a workable Logic template and score for that course. Coming from a Macpro trash can with 64gb ram and switchedto my m2 MBP w/32 mb. Right before the course started. I already had lots of cinesamples orchestral instruments and several others but bought the BBC symphony to use as well. My first real orchestral template crashed and took forever to open. I had so many problems that most of my time was spent learning how to use samples and templates. My composing and orchestrations were made extremely frustrating. It was depressing I managed to put something together for the final project that wasn’t near the piece I had sketched and attempted. Since then I’ve watched and rewatched the bootcamp material as well as cinematic orchestration, sampled orchestration and mixing thinkspace courses. These have cleared up a lot of problems. I purchased MUSIO and have begun to work with the instruments. I had been used to the Kontakt shell etc. If you teach the Bootcamp course again make sure to share your MUSIO template if you can. I’ve watched it several times and it follows what I’ve learned on ThinkSpace. It certainly makes things easier for a beginner learning how to orchestrate. I did have a problem creating blank tracks and labeling instrument family grouping to make locating families. Around 14:40 you show how but you speed.it up and it’s not clear what kind of track you’re making When I make a new MIDI track and select reassign track my opinions are -MIDI Click. -GM Device. -Folder When I select ‘Folder”it gives me a folder icon an input button. It used to offer ‘no output’ but now that has changed to GM Device. I haven’t found a way to delete all of this and make it a blank track spacer or an instrument section TITLE I also hear you talking a lot about making aux tracks when you are creating each instrument. I am accustomed to creating an instrument track for each and aux comes in once I’m done with tracks. I am recreating your template piece by piece to get to know the process better. no you again for doing this.

Hi Robert, I have downloaded your template and your instructions say to move the Musio Articulation Sets folder to Your Mac Username -> Music -> Audio Music Apps ->Articulation Settings. However, there is no such folder for me in Audio Music Apps. I'm a bit technically challenged, perhaps you can help? The folders I have under Audio Music Apps are Channel Strip Settings, Custom Icons, Databases, Key Commands, Patches, Plug-In Settings, Project Templates, Sampler Instruments, Temp. Do I create the folder myself, or move it somewhere else?

dont use that crap app called cleanmymac...is just rubbish..

Thanks so much for taking the time to put this together! I downloaded it yesterday and can’t wait to use it. If I may ask, how do you handle the different negative track delays per articulation?

I had searched ableton orchestral template and this came up and I got excited and downloaded it. Realised it was for another daw XD

As a studio one user, I've gone the route of building track presets with disabled plugins = Basically mini templates (they can contain how many tracks & plugins you want). I can then drag'n drop and mix and match them how I want, and they'll have the instruments loaded up with basic buses. You can make them very complicated too if you want to, but I'm still figuring things out. That being said, I do have traditional templates for the symphony orchestras too. Combining these both approaches makes the approach pretty fast and flexible.

Great video! One question: Why separate reverb buses for each instrument group? Each instrument already has it's own Sends, which can be adjusted as necessary. Why not send everything to a single pair of long/short reverbs?

Glad you finally made this video Robert! 🎉

Is this template mixed whit reverb and everything? i having problem whit doing that so this would be amazing if you had that on this template, I noticed that you didnt add the english horn and bass clarinet i always have those in my template. I dont own the spaces 2 reverb from eastwest is it possible to just replace whit the reverb im choosing or will that mess things up?

Really great video! How much RAM does this template actually use?

A while back I was messing around with RPG Maker MV and I wanted a custom title theme rather than the stock themes that came with the program, so I whipped up this little gem in orchestrator. I just wanted something fast and simple that I eventually might sit down and do a full composition of later if I decided to go with it as the inspiration. It took longer to decide on the presets than it did to figure out the actual piece on-the-fly. th-cam.com/video/TefGe5X4inI/w-d-xo.html I was really amazed at how epic it turned out from just 2 orchestrator tracks, one was for the score and the other was for the ensemble.

Vers god. Have ben looking for this👍👌

I purchased Scarbo 2 weeks ago and found it to be lacking. The sounds were great but nothing my other plugins didn't have already and they really only seemed to fit into cinematic scores, not really anything for beats. I got really hyped on the reviews but now I see it was all marketing. It's just videos like this one demoing the sounds by themselves saying they're objectively good without really providing context or any in-depth discussion. Even with the 15% discount it ended up being $80. Very redundant plugin fueled by marketing along with NO REFUNDS. It's hard these days to find any legit interesting and usable plugins

Amazing! Thank you, this was so helpful!

Great show . thanks

Erm why is there only ten likes? This guy is so cool?
