I have a mental illness and when ever im feeling depressed i always go to your cannel and you always make me forget about everything. Your energy is amazing. Please keep making these videos. You inspire me everyday!
@@ThinkSpaceEducation I've been out of the UK since 2004 and play primarily heavy metal. Your channel is pure gold and I only recently realised that you used to be on TV Guy. Thanks for the joyous channel and as others have already remarked, for being the music teacher (who'd probably buy sixth formers their first double Chartreuse) we never really had. That being said, we were actually lucky to have teachers who could make the old school orchestral stuff relevant in the modern world.

Stay strong, Bayden :) Guy is really a charismatic person who enlightens us all :)
For anyone wondering about unloading/purging - an update's just been released that lets you edit articulations like in pro, so you only need to have the ones that you're using stored in the RAM, which makes it much more usable
Did they fix the problem of playing double notes in staccato with violins? It may affect probably all strings or all instruments... did not tested everyone of em but had the problem from the start as soon as I try to play two identical short notes in a row with violin. It play only one that is the length of both... frustrating. 😕 Hope it gets fixed. @christianhenson @paulthompson
Yeah, I found out how to do the purging very recently, and I went to the score I'm working on at present, and took out all the articulations I know I will not neet. It turned a 6.18GB project into a 5.2GB project. Nearly a whole GB right there!
The speed with which you compose stuff and the confidence you have while doing it is something I admire. As someone who has just gotten into this kind of thing and has no musical background whatsoever it's really fascinating to see.
It's a good library, wish you lots of fun with it. Spitfire itself is a pretty shady company though. They lie and ban customers who critique them. Spitfire is having it's head on the chopping block on Twitter as we speak for how they handled their Westworld scoring competition. They have nice products, but you might want to rethink if you really want to keep supporting them. That said, again, have fun with Core!
@@anancha4665 Basically the whole thing is about the winner of the competition and how he only won because he knew one of the judges. At least that's what I know. Overall, I don't really see how they're shady. Some of the critiques in the reviews are literally on their website
The reason you’d rather write something slow and sad on a gloriously sunny day in the uk, is because gloriously sunny days in the uk are so rare! I’ve lived in London for over 12 years and love this country. Jokes aside, when the sun comes out over there it feels like Devine sparkling dust is being casted upon humanity. No wonder why you’d get so inspired then. And oh Goodness, you did get inspired indeed! What a great short piece you’ve improvised with just a single stroke. I’m finding this deeply touching. Can’t get enough of your videos. Thank you
Guy, i absolutely love your videos, it's a delight to sit back and watch, you're so enthusiastic and it's a joy to see you composing and working through a piece. The other day I was just thinking this week I've spent more time watching your videos and less time making music myself! Then your video appeared "Don't watch this, go make music!". I was off, keyboard on, PC booted up and had great fun making stuff up. Thanks all for the videos, wonderful stuff!
What a frightful piece of music, but an absolute delight to spend time in your wonderful company. Thank you. Core is " almost" all you need to deliver convincing orchestral music right out of the box. I augment it with the Chamber Strings, which I already owned; you need those close mics and legatos to help "sell" the idea it is a real orchestra. I also use the Symphonic Brass and Symphonic Woods, AND the solo strings, which essentially means, core is just for sketching, you will need more ammunition to actually deliver convincing orchestra music out of the box to the public, which is entirely 'do-able' with BBCSO PRO, or augmentation with earlier libraries. So, Core is only worth every penny...if you buy Pro. Also, well worth mentioning, Spitfire has templates, large and small for these libraries, for Logic, etc, and they can save you many hours of routing and setting up tracks for all of the articulations, etc. Pretty mind blowing. Those templates are one of the best freebies out there.
Guy what I love about you....you are not afraid to make mistakes on camera live...that takes guts :-) Strange business ...out of a 'wrong' idea....a new idea comes :-) This is such a wonderful piece.
Guy, watching and listening as this composition comes together is inspiration to us fellow composers. Very nicely done. Spitfire clearly has a winner on their hands with this library too. Thank you.
😎 😎 😎 I think I've used the analogy before but watching Guy is like watching a street magician doing the cup and balls trick. You watch intently, not blinking, following every step, convinced you know under which cup the red foam ball will appear, only to be suprised to find its seemingly disappeared and there's large orange there in its place. 'Final piece is magical. 'Love it! 😎 😎 😎
I always love your videos Guy, and the massive enthusiasm, wit and humour you bring to every one (plus the cameos by Mr H Zimmer and the Sunglasses of Doubt)... I was caught off-guard by the comment at the end about fish-finders and bicycles though... Just when I thought the video was done giving me a good chuckle, I almost spat my coffee out at that comment. Not to worry though as it's definitely not 90 degrees outside any more, so the consumption of boiling liquids is back on the agenda!
Wow, wow, wow......Guy what a fantastic 30 mins, how much more can you do ? What a fantastic library this is and you have demonstrated this perfectly, just wish I could afford it and ' I don't know' has been appointed to my top 5 pieces of fantastic ideas? Love it
Guy, your first video (and I can't remember the topic), I was not sure if I would subscribe to you. Then, I kept seeing you with Spitfire Audio tools and demo'ing those, and I'm loving your output. I just did your Music Theory in 18 minutes (loved that), and since I just bought BBCSO Core, of course I'm loving this. Thanks for putting out such quality stuff, and thank you for talking about how this sample library provides some uniqueness. Lovely music you played by the way. Thank you for all you do!
Fun fact about drinking hot tea in summer: It's actually beneficial! They even do that in deserts since drinking warm beverages helps your body to cool down :D
I am completely in love with how you manage your orchestration ideas and how you see past the vst and in to the real life where the recordings and actual human beings play. Love it.
The great news is, if you send your decent demo off to a mixer who has the full SO package, they can apply the mic positions and fine tune it. Brilliant!
Guy just seeing you work from scratch is just fabulously genius. You inspire me a lot. I love this piece you composed. The first part of the intro sounds a bit like the theme of the movie Interstellar scored by Hans Zimmer but in major. Please keep making these videos as they always put a smile on my face. It's like "what will he come up with now?" I just enjoy watching your videos. I love your creativity, your passion, your dedication and everything you put into it. You're such a beautiful soul. Thank you Sir!
Guy didn't mention it but worth noting that you can also download 3 different Core templates from Spitfire as well, which does make it easy to set up - and I'm running it on a 2013 MacBook Pro with no problems
Guy Michelmore is my spiritual guide animal for my composing journey. Not that i'd be totally lost without him, but i'm definitely getting somewhere faster with his help.
Hello Guy, your channel and videos are marvelous. LOVE Love LOVe your energy and enthusiasm. I'm fairly new to the whole orchestral composition, KontaKt, sample library thing. Though I've been sequencing for years on a DAW. My background and training is as a Jazz pianist and educator, but I'm looking to move into orchestral works. I did study those things years ago in school. Thanks so much for what you do and how you do it. Enthusiasm trumps everything, but in your case mixing that with knowledge, expertise and a fine teaching skill makes for a very fun, informative, and useful video. Thanks again, Greg
Thanks again Guy... incredibly inspirational as always. Bought CORE, using the Spitfire template with tracks enabled as required and was able to follow through perfectly well using just an I5 processor with a measley 16GB RAM... bit of a test as main PC to one side at the moment. No pops, clicks or otherwise... using Cubase 10.5 Really enjoyed this video. Would love to see how you go about using Core to write a cue for film or TV. Sometimes the sheer breadth of proposition and instruments available can be daunting knowing which to start with... followed your video step by step and will probably use similar structure to start next time. Thanks again for your superb content... Cheers!
Thanks for your video, it is entertaining and inspiring as always. YES, having all this stuff is for FUN! I am a retired, disabled, Vietnam Vet and this DAW and Libraries stuff is my fun. I have no need or intention of competing in the workplace. I just want to explore and play and maybe create a piece or two to enjoy in the time I have left. So, yes, I have been shamelessly collecting string orchestras and choirs and I secured the greatest musical prize EVER - yes, I have the Magnus Chord Organ VST! Imagine the trouble I can cause with THAT! Concerto for Cinema Strings and Chord Organ! It's a first, almost as profound as "Symphony for Really, Really Amplified Clavichord and 200 Piece Orchestra."
Just invested in your course. Thanks for the immortality! I look forward to learning more. This is where I am at in my musical journey: I have just completed a BA Honours Degree in Music Production. However, I would like to get more into writing cinematic and orchestral music. I find your channel really helpful and it inspires me to learn more.
Great video - thanks Guy!! I've just started the MA Composition for Film, TV and Games at Chi Uni and will definitely be investing in this ASAP!! Thanks for a great review 😄
Hi there! Due to the absurd little amount of MB that discovery is, the instruments are a lot processed and synthetic (compared to Kontakt factory library and strings for the free LABS you can evidence that). You would said the instruments in Core sounds a lot better? I ask because it's supposed to be the same samples. Thank you for your awesome content!
Tomás Palazzi I don't know the exact process, but I know in discovery the samples are very simplified. For example there are no round robins and I believe the reverb and what not are essentially "baked in" or something so you can't control it and that's how they get the sizes so small. I just bought core and am loving it so far!
Very engrossing piece; may be drop the flutes, to me it sounds like they're clashing rhythmically with the trombones. I think it is important to note that the Core edition of the BBCSO doesn't include any solo strings, only some solo brass and woodwinds - as I'm looking for a first symphonic library, it's an important factor. Another important thing: hot tea is the best thing on a hot day.
20.45 so your saying it is possible to run it on a 16ram computer? If I also use the technique editor to turn of techniques I don’t use, and maybe bouncing tracks or freezing tracks until I export to mp3 or wav..? Also REALLY fun to watch your videos of just chilling and creating. Bought the core edition yesterday, with the epic choir from spitfire too. Can’t wait to try them
Bought BBCSOC and downloaded the template from here for Cubase, works perfectly. So helpful, thank you Guy. Since I'm here now, is it possible to merge templates in Cubase. Wouldn't that be great and wouldn't it be great to get templates for all libraries when you buy them and simply merge them into one ever expanding template.
This video just like previous videos takes us through your wonderful world of making and composing beautiful music. It is like witnessing genesis and the creation of a world all in 30 minutes with guy as a funny, entertaining, informative, and quite endearing god. Thank you Sir for taking us along an inspiring journey and giving us a piece of your soul and lovely music. I do hope you can explore and review for us VSL's FREE Big Bang Orchestra. It would be an interesting Trifecta of 3 FREE orchestral libraries after your great episodes on BBCSO Discover and ProjectSAM (which I obtained thanks to you). You sir are a great influence on our music and a kinder influence on our wallets. All the best, and keep safe and healthy.
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Yes. Also, it's there on the Christian's video about the template, you can see it. I am sure that this is a bug but on the other hand - they would fix it by now, maybe a gift for Logic users? :P Anyway, download it while it's there and enjoy the sweet sound of bass clarinet :D
I noticed the same thing - no bass clarinet in Core but it's included in their template. Maybe a mistake? On Spitfire's website it says crotales are only included in the Pro percussion, but I just bought Core today and it includes them (bonus!) although they're not in the Core template. Template is not perfect.
This has to be one of your Top 3 vids for writing orchestral music, wow. I have Core, can’t wait to dig in. ALSO, I always learn a new Cubase tip watching you work-Priceless (“P” puts in/out around selected event, yay. ANNNNND, save often and don’t edit while listening! 😂). QUESTION: how are you liking the new S88 keybed for playing in strings/winds/brass?
During most of your videos that I've seen so far I'm thinking "it needs chimes, add some chimes" but you never do... until now... almost. But I do enjoy watching your creations take shape. I like the ephemeral experience knowing I will never hear it again but that there will be another one along any moment.
He:(as following on the video) Me:Got BBCSO discover and clone the plugin in DAW for four times and downloaded a free plugin called virtual sound stage demo version and arraging 1st in left top corner and others is other directions and having a feeling like I've got the professional version of BBCSO🤪 And wish I'll own one in future😌
Guy, quick question, would it be easier to add dynamics during recording of each individual instrument, or adding in dynamics for each instrument after a section of the piece is done(multiple instruments) to balance it?
Lovely video, as always. Just to clarify, this does not have auto-divisi, I guess? So, when you play chords with the violin longs, how come it does not do the 'organ effect'? Also, how agile is the legato? Can you do runs with it?
You could call it: Musing with Minor Tendancies (ha ha -- stupid). I like this orchestra. Thanks for your fun videos to energize our weekends, Guy; entertaining & educational
Hi Guy. Very nice demonstration. I also watched your video of the NI symphony essentials and I’m wondering which is better, the BBC SO core, the NI symphony essentials/pro, or Berlin orchestra?
Not even sure if these things will be read anyone! Guy, thank you so much for an entertaining and informative introduction to BBCSO core. I am not trained in musical theory, however it is very inspiring to see your approach of "just give it a try". Definitely subscribing to your channel. Do you have any videos dedicated to dialling in articulation and dynamics to make the parts more realistic?
Hi Guy, how is the new keyboard doing now that you had it for a bit? Any regrets, excitements, surprises? PS: I love watching how you use different instruments to emphasise different parts. There is sooooo much I still have to learn.
Hi Guy. Since the BBC Symphony plugins is NKS compatible, why don't you load it with Komplete Kontrol instrument ? You could have access to lots of éléments directly with the knobs of your S88!
Spitfire sounds amazing, I really like dems of the ARO as well. I don't have a lot of cash to get this, but I do have Miroslav Philharmonik 2. I'd love to see a demo of that, just to see how close it can get to the Spitfire libraries.
Hi Guy, thanks for making such awesome videos. Love your enthusiasm - it's contagious. :) I have just one beginner question. I use DaVici Resolve 16 for video editing and Cubase AI as DAW (because both are free) and would like to know how to score diegetically into an existing video scene by scene. The question is not so much about music theory but about the technique and tools used to establish sync between video and audio on the fly. I heard some noise about Resolve Fairlight but don't know where the bells and whistles are, if you get my pathetic attempt to make a pun.
Since I already have a bicycle and i don't like surf, do you think this would be a good addition to EWSO Gold and some older sample sets? What I feel could be really better on my current sets is legatos, which aren't very good in EWSO. I probably would need to add a solo instrument package after as that seems what is completely missing from Core. Or just wait sometime and get the upgrade to the big one. 1000 € for this is a bit steep for a hobbyist nowadays...
Thank you Guy for the great videos! You are an inspiration! I just got Discovery for $49! And I also purchased, The Bosendorfer Piano from Vienna Symphony. (You did a review of this piano in a previous video and I loved it!) Quick question: The Discovery plug in....Can you only use one instrument? In other words...I'm trying to use more than one instrument in my arrangement and it looks like I can only use one sound. It won't let me use multiple tracks with the plug in....Thank you!
Thx again for your energy, good mood and inspirational approach. Sorry for asking but what difference do you see between this CORE version and Albion 1 vst from spitfire too, and with native instruments symphony orchestra ? Is this one the best in all sense of the word ?? Many thx !!!
Now that's what I call a serious cuppa, Guy. It's a brave man who takes on the world at 90F without fortification. Mad dogs and Englishmen. Mind you, there is a dash of NC bubbling beneath the surface... PS - Interesting that you use Celli in the absence of an ensemble. Relief. Thought I might be violating protocol.
Just bought the BBC SO COre, and I really have a problem with Brass. I can't make them sound "brassy" in fff. I also have the Studio Brass Pro and if you don't take care while playing on CC, they bite you !!! I would like to have that kind of sound... Help !

It’s a comfort device
@@MePeterNicholls As someone who drinks several cups a day and also can't sit down to write without a cup..I totally agree.

What kind of system are you running it on? I have only 8GB of RAM but my specs are within their listed requirements.

For example there are no round robins and I believe the reverb and what not are essentially "baked in" or something so you can't control it and that's how they get the sizes so small. I just bought core and am loving it so far!
Well Guy; I don't know but "I Don't Know" sounded BRILLIANT!! Please recover it!!!!
Hi from sunny Hull . Thanks guy I have two channels I watch all the time you and Mr Henson . thanks so much stay cool
Same here, these gentleman are very worth watching indeed!
No solo instruments in this edition ?
What are the 2 control surfaces you have on the upper left of your Komplete S88? Enjoying your channel. Thank you.
Very engrossing piece; may be drop the flutes, to me it sounds like they're clashing rhythmically with the trombones.
I think it is important to note that the Core edition of the BBCSO doesn't include any solo strings, only some solo brass and woodwinds - as I'm looking for a first symphonic library, it's an important factor.
Another important thing: hot tea is the best thing on a hot day.
Guy: it's a scorching 32 degrees today
Me: *cries in 42 degrees
oooooo I feel your pain
10 degrees where i am😂
32 degrees in England is equivalent to a day trip to the suns surface.
@@savagebananas1382 He means 42 degrees celsius which is 108F
@@savagebananas1382 42 in the temperature units used by the civilised world. None of this fahrenheit nonsense
20.45 so your saying it is possible to run it on a 16ram computer? If I also use the technique editor to turn of techniques I don’t use, and maybe bouncing tracks or freezing tracks until I export to mp3 or wav..?
Also REALLY fun to watch your videos of just chilling and creating. Bought the core edition yesterday, with the epic choir from spitfire too. Can’t wait to try them
I love watching you compose! This is all making me want to learn the piano more than just basic musicianship!
Guy, you were right when you said that the double bass section had a good day when they recorded that. That sounded great!
Super reaction (28:25 min:)
So recognizable for many of us.
Hhaahaa, great job sir.
Bought BBCSOC and downloaded the template from here for Cubase, works perfectly. So helpful, thank you Guy. Since I'm here now, is it possible to merge templates in Cubase. Wouldn't that be great and wouldn't it be great to get templates for all libraries when you buy them and simply merge them into one ever expanding template.
The "in-and-out marker" tip: THANK YOU! 👍
Thank you GUY! Ive been watching all you videos! Every video is a masterclass! I have learned alot! :)
Nice! Got it a few weeks ago!
Thank you for this. Your videos really are excellent and inspiring.
This video just like previous videos takes us through your wonderful world of making and composing beautiful music. It is like witnessing genesis and the creation of a world all in 30 minutes with guy as a funny, entertaining, informative, and quite endearing god. Thank you Sir for taking us along an inspiring journey and giving us a piece of your soul and lovely music. I do hope you can explore and review for us VSL's FREE Big Bang Orchestra. It would be an interesting Trifecta of 3 FREE orchestral libraries after your great episodes on BBCSO Discover and ProjectSAM (which I obtained thanks to you). You sir are a great influence on our music and a kinder influence on our wallets. All the best, and keep safe and healthy.
10:00 got the same filling:) thanks for sharing!
Anyone noticed that on the spitfire page there is no sign of bass clarinet but inside the templates, you can use it? At least in logic Pro
Really? Mine didn't have bass Clar in the Core edition but I know a number of people have mentioned it. I wouldn't be surprised if they fixed that.
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Yes. Also, it's there on the Christian's video about the template, you can see it. I am sure that this is a bug but on the other hand - they would fix it by now, maybe a gift for Logic users? :P Anyway, download it while it's there and enjoy the sweet sound of bass clarinet :D
I noticed the same thing - no bass clarinet in Core but it's included in their template. Maybe a mistake?
On Spitfire's website it says crotales are only included in the Pro percussion, but I just bought Core today and it includes them (bonus!) although they're not in the Core template. Template is not perfect.
24:25 LOL Oh man i know that feeling just too well !
You inadvertently wrote music from Interstellar haha Nice one Guy
This has to be one of your Top 3 vids for writing orchestral music, wow. I have Core, can’t wait to dig in. ALSO, I always learn a new Cubase tip watching you work-Priceless (“P” puts in/out around selected event, yay. ANNNNND, save often and don’t edit while listening! 😂).
QUESTION: how are you liking the new S88 keybed for playing in strings/winds/brass?
May i suggest something for working inside in this 'El Scorchio' weather?
Place a fan under the desk pointing at your groin............
During most of your videos that I've seen so far I'm thinking "it needs chimes, add some chimes" but you never do... until now... almost.
But I do enjoy watching your creations take shape. I like the ephemeral experience knowing I will never hear it again but that there will be another one along any moment.
He:(as following on the video)
Me:Got BBCSO discover and clone the plugin in DAW for four times and downloaded a free plugin called virtual sound stage demo version and arraging 1st in left top corner and others is other directions and having a feeling like I've got the professional version of BBCSO🤪
And wish I'll own one in future😌
Guy, quick question, would it be easier to add dynamics during recording of each individual instrument, or adding in dynamics for each instrument after a section of the piece is done(multiple instruments) to balance it?
Everything you can do before & while you record it - will benefit from it! So if you can handle the fader & piano play at the same time. Go for it!
Been having a lot of fun playing around with Core on my channel- it’s a fantastic library!
Lovely video, as always. Just to clarify, this does not have auto-divisi, I guess? So, when you play chords with the violin longs, how come it does not do the 'organ effect'? Also, how agile is the legato? Can you do runs with it?
Lovley. Just on question, I thought Solos (as with the trombones) only were available in PRO and not Core? Many Thanks!
You could call it: Musing with Minor Tendancies (ha ha -- stupid). I like this orchestra. Thanks for your fun videos to energize our weekends, Guy; entertaining & educational
Hi Guy. Very nice demonstration. I also watched your video of the NI symphony essentials and I’m wondering which is better, the BBC SO core, the NI symphony essentials/pro, or Berlin orchestra?
Not even sure if these things will be read anyone! Guy, thank you so much for an entertaining and informative introduction to BBCSO core. I am not trained in musical theory, however it is very inspiring to see your approach of "just give it a try". Definitely subscribing to your channel. Do you have any videos dedicated to dialling in articulation and dynamics to make the parts more realistic?
Hi Guy, how is the new keyboard doing now that you had it for a bit?
Any regrets, excitements, surprises?
PS: I love watching how you use different instruments to emphasise different parts.
There is sooooo much I still have to learn.
It's great. Love it. Still smiling at the flashing lights....I am SO easily pleased
@@ThinkSpaceEducation S O easily pleased . . . I see what you did there ;)
Hi Guy. Since the BBC Symphony plugins is NKS compatible, why don't you load it with Komplete Kontrol instrument ?
You could have access to lots of éléments directly with the knobs of your S88!
Spitfire sounds amazing, I really like dems of the ARO as well. I don't have a lot of cash to get this, but I do have Miroslav Philharmonik 2. I'd love to see a demo of that, just to see how close it can get to the Spitfire libraries.
Hi Guy, thanks for making such awesome videos. Love your enthusiasm - it's contagious. :) I have just one beginner question. I use DaVici Resolve 16 for video editing and Cubase AI as DAW (because both are free) and would like to know how to score diegetically into an existing video scene by scene. The question is not so much about music theory but about the technique and tools used to establish sync between video and audio on the fly. I heard some noise about Resolve Fairlight but don't know where the bells and whistles are, if you get my pathetic attempt to make a pun.
Since I already have a bicycle and i don't like surf, do you think this would be a good addition to EWSO Gold and some older sample sets? What I feel could be really better on my current sets is legatos, which aren't very good in EWSO. I probably would need to add a solo instrument package after as that seems what is completely missing from Core. Or just wait sometime and get the upgrade to the big one. 1000 € for this is a bit steep for a hobbyist nowadays...
Thank you Guy for the great videos! You are an inspiration! I just got Discovery for $49! And I also purchased, The Bosendorfer Piano from Vienna Symphony. (You did a review of this piano in a previous video and I loved it!) Quick question: The Discovery plug in....Can you only use one instrument? In other words...I'm trying to use more than one instrument in my arrangement and it looks like I can only use one sound. It won't let me use multiple tracks with the plug in....Thank you!
Thanks for the rundown. Great Video!
Very informative review. I’m intrigued to know what the small switching unit on the left side of the S88 is.
Atem Mini Pro - its a video switcher from Blackmagic which Im going to use for livestreams
@@ThinkSpaceEducation Thank you. Love a good gadget :)
Big fan of these videos. Thanks so much for your amazing insight. I put together a Hans Zimmer cue on my channel using the BBC SO Discover.
Could you do a video about compressors and equalizers but in regards to orchestral thingies? I know I'd love it :D
Thx again for your energy, good mood and inspirational approach. Sorry for asking but what difference do you see between this CORE version and Albion 1 vst from spitfire too, and with native instruments symphony orchestra ? Is this one the best in all sense of the word ?? Many thx !!!
Can you make a video on how to make melody’s. And create a song incorporating the melody with discover or a free library, any library is fine.
29:09 What do you call things like this? How about "Steve"?
You see Dave, *this* is why we hired you
hi, thanks for the explanation.. so you're telling me that BBC Core cant have multiple outputs (violin, viola, etc..) in 1 track?
Now that's what I call a serious cuppa, Guy. It's a brave man who takes on the world at 90F without fortification. Mad dogs and Englishmen. Mind you, there is a dash of NC bubbling beneath the surface... PS - Interesting that you use Celli in the absence of an ensemble. Relief. Thought I might be violating protocol.
Just bought the BBC SO COre, and I really have a problem with Brass. I can't make them sound "brassy" in fff. I also have the Studio Brass Pro and if you don't take care while playing on CC, they bite you !!! I would like to have that kind of sound... Help !
Thank you so much for your content you are amazing.. I was just asking for your opinion on metropolis ark in general any of the series (1,2,3 or 4)
30:00 "It was at this moment he knew............... ... he fucked up !!"
