เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 17 ม.ค. 2016
I’ve been a professional musician, composer, songwriter and music producer for over twenty years. I most recently co-compose on the CW series Walker Independence, CBS's Blue Bloods and Fox's NeXt in addition to writing additional music on the live action Halo series on Paramount+, Marvel/Disney’s The New Mutants, Alita: Battle Angel and many more.
Although I have never taken a proper music class, I’ve been working consistently for over a decade as a film & television composer, and as a result I'm a HUGE advocate for self-directed learning.
I created this channel to share some of the real world knowledge I’ve accumulated so far about music writing & production, in addition to lessons I've learned about the business of composing for film, television and video games.

@@jonasfriedman Thanks. Is there anyway to contact you,please?
U can use the form from our MMC website
Great info! thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
THIS LOOKS AWSOME, BUT KONTAKT KEEPS SAYING THAT I NEED "KONTAKT" Is this accurate or did i just do something wrong when installing it, whats happening.
Just saw this was your last video and that you live in california really hope your home survived and the studio and that your all ok
Appreciate your concern - we moved back to the east coast recently so we’re all safe - tragic situation though in la
@@jonasfriedmanVery much so .....look forward to your next video.
@Wolfbabypuppylove delivering a game I’m finishing up and then hope to be back shooting some new videos
Cineperc is a crazy price. Didn't expect that
It’s available through Musio as well - I’ve actually been using it through there for my recent project
@ oh nice I didn’t know that. So you have always used it through musio or you own the standalone.
@ i’ve used it through my own standalone until recently… I was using Musio so much on this new project It just made sense for my template to use it from there instead of the stand loan, especially because there were a lot of ethnic instruments, not in my standard template that I was grabbing for
@ gotcha!! Very cool!
Is there going to be a video on your new M4 Macbook Pro setup? Just bought one myself, and thinking about different setup options, VE Pro vs Disabled tracks, Kontakt/Musio, etc
Yep def will
Would be good to actually listen to the sound
TH-cam cut it off unfortunately I believe in insta there’s a longer video with the end result
I have damage and am considering getting damage 2 + HZ but also curious about NI Master Sessions Ethnic vst.
I’m not personally familiar with NI master sessions ethnic but it seems like a cool library - at the end of the day go with whatever feels more authentic to your style as a musician. They all have different aesthetics and flavors even when they’re the same instrument because of how they’re recorded
@@jonasfriedman I am having a REALLY hard time deciding because I can only choose one cost wise. I also dont want to overlap with Damage. Damage 2 and HZ Pro are pricey. I really love deeper drum sounds (Native American low drum influence as a child) so want to capture a meditative feel in my music. This is, first, for personal meditation and healing to be honest though I can see it translating outward through releases as an artist as well. Im leaning Master:Ethnic or HZ Pro at this point. Pretty big price difference though.
@shAiDawn I don’t recommend spending full price on either of these libraries since there’s so many incredible deals throughout the year… If it’s for more meditative music then I definitely think that the ethnic library you’re looking at might be best but I don’t have or use it so I can’t say for certain…, these libraries that I use are more for action or tension stuff and so I don’t think that they would serve your purpose which is why I’d say the ethnic kit might best
@@jonasfriedmanI appreciate your feedback it means a lot! I keep thinking about HZ Pro now because I will use it for other projects ultimately and I love all the different mic options Im seeing now. I also think the velocity will be great to utilize. Im also writing stories as well which I will want to explore sonically and HZ has the pro for $200 off this sec. $300 honestly feels like a great deal for all it offers. When I looked more at the Ethnic vst today it made me think a lot about Damage. Does the HZ Pro go even cheaper or is this a good price from what you have seen?
@shAiDawn I have no idea if it goes cheaper but I’ve gotten a lot of use out of the library and recommend iy
Great coverage on these thanks!
My pleasure
found the tension its great to use do you have reccomendation for a tut for a beginner in FL Studio 2024?
Glad u found it! I do not have an FL tutorial right now if enough people request we may do one
good morning, I would like to ask you if it is possible to obtain your template in the following DAW's: Pro-Tools and Luna (Universal Audio), we would greatly appreciate it, regards!!!
Hi there - i do not have a template for those daws unfortunately- if enough people were to request it we may look into making them
@@jonasfriedman hi there, ok thank you so much!!!
I really appreciated that callback to the creators of the packs you were using.
🤘
WOW this the typa shii i was looking for man, been looking for shii like this for 2 years man thank u
Happy to help!
Synth mixed w/ Orchestral music is my favorite kind of sound! Very excited to watch this.
Enjoy!
Outstanding points on methods for efficiency, growth and productivity.. very nice.. CRUNCH Man likes…!👍🏼🤗
Glads it’s helpful 🤘
Simple, functional and sentimental. Beautiful!
Thanks!
Brilliant thanks! I am a composer that lacks basically any mixing and mastering skills, and for making realistic sounding mockups, it’s clear that mixing plays an important role in getting a good sound. So thanks for these tips.
My pleasure 🤘
Didn't get what a "drop minor 3rd" means.. We modulate a minor third down or we take away other elements and play some minor third ?..
Sorry modulate a minor third down - I may have misspoke
Excellent video. Very informative and easy to grasp. Sincere thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Hi @all, "Psyche Delay" (the reverse artifacts delay effect at 04:30 ff) has meanwhile been released as stand-alone version (after this video was released). Great effect, btw!
Whoa awesome thanks for the update!!!
For mistake 3, id love to be able to invest, but, as i am still in college, i literally do not have the money to spend on that sort of thing
Yep that’s common, I started with the most bare bones setup and over the course a decade+ was able to slowly build my system to what it is
Thank you!! Really great points!! I especially love the point that every element should stand out. Also as composers, we should work together with the SFX to serve the whole. Such a good reminder. I found you because I need to score 2 action sequences and I need to level up my action scoring skills. I have subscribed!
Happy it was helpful! Glad you found the channel 🤘
Also your videos look really nice, the colors looks amazing, what color presets or program do you use to achieve this video look ?
Thanks so much c We edit in premiere pro and have aputure lighting for filming
This is so amazing.. I love how you brought all the elements together! Inspirational, You are very gifted.
Appreciate the kind words, thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for this!
Happy to help!
Fantastic video. 👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
There seems to be a lot of talk about the danger of using splice samples for writing music that you’d potentially sell. Do you think I really need to worry about this?
If you use samples as part of a larger composition meaning there’s not just the isolated sound then no - myself and other professionals do this all the time - it is what the platform was made for. Happy creating!
I downloaded the project sam one, and i have kontakt 8 installed, but for some reason when i put in the serial number into native it said i dont have a version of kontakt thats compatible with the file. why is this and how can i fix it?
I’m not sure about this - I’d contact project Sam - libraries in kontakt are almost always backwards compatible but this may not be due to it being free - they instrument creator should be able to help you
I really hope I see your name on the big screen on a HUGE movie someday soon! You seem like an extremely genuine and good person. All of your videos are indispensable. Thank you!
Very kind of you to say
great tips! splice is also goated for one-shots like risers, whooshes, impacts, etc.
Very true - I use it for that all the time these days!
Superb
Thanks!
I love what you said about pacing. A good action will have careful pacing and the music will be reflective of that. A good example is the Mission Impossible movies. In every movie there's at least one long action scene with different levels of escalation, with some moments to catch your breath also. This one is my favorite example because it has a great build up with mini bursts of excitement until it has a beautiful crescendo at two minutes and fifty seconds. th-cam.com/video/cLQpRdejwAE/w-d-xo.html
I love those movies - the action scenes are amazingly done not only musically but in every aspect of filmmaking - Great example
I've been watching and studying up for months and have to start my from scratch set up I have computer and storage so far .
Awesome good luck!
Thank you - awesome.
🤘
Awesome tutorial as usual :)
🤘🤘🤘
This is so helpful, thank you. I started producing ambient and chill electronic music around 2 years ago and during that time I've always been interested in composing for media, but it's really difficult to know where to start. Music is my biggest passion in life and the idea of making a living of it is so surreal and unrealistic in my mind, but it's something I'm willing to fight to achieve for the rest of my life. I'm eternally grateful that successful and accomplished composers like you are willing to help us aspiring artists. I'm looking forward to learn more, so I will watch all of your videos and hopefully I'll get to buy your paid course at some point too!
Happy to know it was helpful!!!
This is awesome! Thanks so much!!!!
My pleasure thanks for watching
As of the latest Logic update we can now search for plugins
Whoa!!! It’s about time that’s awesome
I've been doing stuff like this since they first came out with virtual instruments. I never thought about doing it professionally. I guess I should have. 😆 🤣 😂. Stuff like this comes naturally to me.
Very impressed. I think I'll get the course as a Christmas present to myself.
Hope you enjoy! FYI holiday sale will end this coming week
