Please look at the road and not the camera when you're driving
Im not going to look at the road when driving too now
A very objective and honest review of CSS, I'm always impressed by the free information that you deliver to the composing community. Thanks again.
From what I have heard the CSS ensemble sounds really lovely. Great for sketching ideas.
Thank u Marc for instructions and great tips on cinema orchestration. Creating movement within the same string part it brings a big difference to one part or several parts, the movement is within automation, this is new to me and I love the challenge to make my musical creativity greater.., Expression, dynamics modulation, vibrato..What I'm paying close attention to is, when u end the first part then move to the second part which is the melody, then that melody movement is filled in with the right parts to make it sound full and rich, I understand the format, great work thank u again for your expertise in cinematic orchestra instruction, I will definitely keep watching, thx again for SHARING
I'm working with Studio One 5 professional
Hi Marc, another OUTSTANDING informative lesson. Can you please share with me (us) the location of the training that teaches and demonstrates placing the CC information at the beginning of each trk...? I'm enrolled in the Cinematic Composing Group and can't seem to locate it... Thx
Thank you so much for this video! Very clear how this library works!
Thank you for this video. It’s always a pleasure to watch you compose.
I am so looking forward to the cinematic studio percussion
When he did the adventure thing and said “this is basic” 😱😱 Music is exciting and so does Marc
I luv the fact there there is no pfaffing about with a massive template and a thousand separate patches. CS Series all seem very intuitive, well scripted, nicely designed, recorded and consistent.
Quick tech question?
I use Logic with CSS and when the transport (Play) is stopped the mod wheel slider resets to zero. No sound is then heard from the midi keyboard...one always has to raise the modwheel to practice alternate line ideas etc. -Is there some way to set CSS midi behavior so that the modwheel remains in the position it was at in automation when the playhead stops? (most libraries work this way)
Love your videos Marc!
Hi Marc! Very good video, thank you for sharing with us begginer composers! I have a question, how do you achieve such a massive sound on your strings? Is it reverb, compression or just the mod wheel? I ask bc I have CSS 2 but my strings sound weak compared to yours. Thank you!
I love that CINEMATIC STUDIO STRINGS PLUGIN
I WILL GET IT WHEN I CAN ,PRACTICE, YES!!
THX MARK FOR UR TEACHINGS🙏🏿💯
Great info. Thanks
Marc…. Great video! What is that controller you’re using for dynamics, vibrato etc.
Thank you for this great presentation of your video, especially using the CC controllers. With their numerous videos, they helped me a lot to learn how to compose for classical orchestra. And so I think it's a pity that the introduction to this video was filmed while driving.
Man. I want this library so badly.
I need to figure out now how to do that expression recording with the slider after the notes are down.
What I dont like with CSS is the fact the a string orchestra is supposed to sound harmonius but CSS sounds very muddy in its sound. A well orchestrated string section still sounds messy with CSS
Thats the same I also dont like about CSS. Its really hard to get a clean sound out of CSS. Good for blending with other libraries but not as a leading instrument. It has a good flexibility and legato engine but its the awful room sound of the samples which annoys me.
It's nice to see you make more free videos on TH-cam, Thanks .
Man, you're nice with them faders!
Hello Marc. Came here to watch how to use CSS in multi track, but then I noticed you are using an Evolution UC33e controller. I have one of these I stopped using since I thought it didn't support windows 10. Can you give me your thoughts on how you're using this, as I'd like to use it with CSS like how you're doing. Drivers, enigma software etc. Your thoughts please. BTW, your videos and composition skills are simply amazing.
Hey Marc, in the legato strings, this plugin have portamento function
What recording program are you using?
Can you please do a video about how you even record each track, or create each track?
Splendid
thnx sir❤️
I made a keyswitch in cubase to automatic line up the legato notes to the beat without messing with the miliseconds delay.
would you like to share your idea?
I can hear Beethoven is writing.. 12:21.. much love
I use CSS: my hugest problem is the timing of the notes; how do you get the Cello to land at the same time as the violins; especially the measured tremolo with the legato; it has taken me two hours to line up just 8 measures of strings; of a violin part with a cello part; it takes forever to line everything up... and I don't see what you're doing (if anything) to get those to like up. I'm assuming you have set the delay to -50 or so to make sure they're on the downbeat?
Wonderful! Do you have the 3 faders set Mod, Expression, Vibrato?
Yes!
Marc vibrato'd the piano note at 10:32 with his finger out of instinct, just like any true musician.
I do it all the time, too bad it doesnt do shit.
When shall the oboes should enter?
Nice demo. Only problem I have faced with similar libraries earlier that I could not find them supporting pitch bend range change.. If I need to make long slide or glide it does not allow that. What about this library - does it support change pitch bend range to perform large slides from one note to another (say 5-6 semitones apart)? I am not talking about legato.. Just pure glide/slide using my MPE controller.
CSS doesn't react to pitcbend cc at all unfortunately
I feel like they get delayed, like behind the beat... do you feel so, and do you compesate the delay offfset?
Whats library - Orchestra hit (not css instrument?)
hi Mac, are the 3 faders you use for modulation, vibrato and expression?
Thanks
Yes :)
What is the role of the oboe?
This vs Modern Scoring Strings?
❤❤❤❤❤
When I click your video I got your own ads and for a moment I think that this video just a reaplouded content
Sorry! 1 more question: Do you think since CSS guys say that they have the instruments panned already, we don't need to pan them in our DAW?
you don't :)
liVrary and... Biolins ) Thanks for good video.
consult,
How to solve the problem of different delay in CSS legato?
onset delay
CSS is optimal with expression maps.
Agree
I hate that vibrato of CSS... watched this video to check if was a problem of my CSS but i realized that was not.
2:21 . what is the different between these staccato？
The length of the note.
Yup
What is he saying at 4:21 (th-cam.com/video/4WlJErzhANg/w-d-xo.html) I can't understand what he's saying. Something about not liking the big hit? But it also looks like he's referring to a *different* library. No offense intended, but the whole thing is confusing and hard to follow. And the constant edits don't help.
I'm saying that when comparing CSS strings with the big hit (which is from another library... actually, it's a stack of multiple libraries) then it makes me feel like I don't like the orchestral hit as much.... I hope it makes sense
@@CinematicComposing I had no trouble following along at all, great review Marc, thank you!
Hi Marc, I'm very impressed with your energy, drive & elan, not to mention you absolutely know what you're talking about IMO. Allow me however to give some feedback about your videos in general. Maybe a small detail and no issue for some, but I frequently hear this pumping beat in the background, when you're talking. To me personally this is kind of disturbing. Is there a reason why you chose to do that?
My editor just got fired! LOL... just kidding :)
That's my fault actually... I thought it was helping (and I'm supposed to be a film composer! :P ) but I agree that if not done correctly it can be distracting and ANOYING!
We're not using it any more in our later videos
Thanks for the kind comment and for pointing this out!
@@CinematicComposing ok, thank U, all the best! N
