That video about this track: • The Power Of A Synthes... Them sounds: eDNA EARTH: www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-... ...and that lovely coin guitar: www.spitfireaudio.com/shop/a-...
6 months watching your channel and I picked up enough to have recently finished scoring (for a fee too!) two short movies concurrently. Thanks for your generosity with info
awesome video! I have a workflow suggestion, my two cents after 20 years on logic. Rather than sending groups of instruments to busses, set up a shortcut for Track Stack in Logic. for me it's apple shift T. It not only busses them and labels that bus after the trackstack, but also puts them in a track stack in your arrange window which is collapsable. Its a game changer. This is great for printing stems, mixing, and when you are done with a section you can collapse it down. My mixes now all look like anywhere between 4-10 stems which I can then open up if I need to get at a kick in my "drums" group. Another one is using gain utility for automation, that way the fader is free for mixing levels at the end without being snapped to the automation, also good when doubling sounds and quick re-levelling as you did with the EXS-24. Massive respect for your channel, its brilliant and I wish you every success with it.
Great stuff, as always. Baffles me that Christian's channel averages only around 5k views per video - this is by far the best thing on the net - where IS everyone? Whilst I can't deny enjoying having this seemingly secret corner of the internet to ourselves, that seems to attract sane, reasonable people that come here for genuine and positive reasons, I feel for Christian who must look at other channels, and the unfathomable popularity of the inane drivel that constitutes most of the rest of TH-cam, and scratch his head as to what he has to do to reach a larger audience. Thank you Christian - your output is truly humbling.
RLeaguer2 Completely agree with you. With the educational nature of many of these videos, and his standing as a composer; I’d imagine these videos will probably pick up a lot more views in terms of years/decades. Most of this info will still be relevant as technology changes and the rest would be adaptable to a future audience I’d guess.
Maximilian Gockel Perhaps, but no more so than say Rick Beato’s or JXL’s channel (that I also think are wonderful), but has far higher views (maybe just a question of time?). I’m sure Christian would say it’s not about the number of views/subscribers, but the quality of the debate it stimulates. I can appreciate that, but ultimately, it’s still a numbers game to generate a quorum. I just don’t know what else he can do though: his videos are interesting, honest, passionate, helpful, insightful and entertaining. How do you improve on that? Would love to hear from Christian, perhaps in a vlog, his thoughts on whether he feels its going in the direction he wants and getting the recognition and appreciation it deserves. Hope he continues to do so anyway for a long time to come.
I totally agree with what you said about his channel, it's pure gold. However, I actually think that Christian's dealing with a lot more nichey stuff, which is orchestral music and media composing. Rick Beato is covering a LOT of genres, it's not really a vlog and Junkie XL is just well known beyond the industry. I love Christian's approach, I don't think it needs improvement, views aren't a measure of quality.
Definitely would like more of this sort of thing. It's always interesting and useful to see how other people approach things and you always pick up something useful, as I have here. Thanks!
Incredibly helpful and inspiring. Beautiful track as well, Christian. Also, the last 2.5 minutes of the video put it over the top. Thank you for your time, talent, and honesty.
Thanks for sharing this! Yes please, I'd love to see more videos like this as well, they're so helpful. This was really inspiring because I tend to struggle when mixing ambient tracks like these, because there is way too much of every frequency and I sometimes find it hard to shape that wall of sound properly. Thanks again and I look forward to the next :D
I have just discovered your channel, and it's great, I'm so impressed by not only all the work you do as a musician and business person but also documenting it so well.
Absolutely love videos like this. Mixing videos and tutorials for "orchestral" works seems very rare these days. Your track has a very Johann Johannsson feel about it, really like it. I'm re-inspired to go and mix my music now!
Absolutely amazing video. You continue to give me bits of information that I know I need but cannot find, EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK! Please more of these working sessions. Thanks again.
Absolutely educational seeing how you go about mixing, Christian, definitely keep making similar videos to this one, it is much appreciated. Loved the "jam donut" analogy. Thanks as always for the enormous amount of effort you put in doing these videos
Hell yes Christian! Show us more of your working time!!! Honestly between yours and Pauls mixing videos today; it’s inspired a whole expansion for me with my ideas and concepts for production. It’s just little bits here and there; little nuggets of ideas and inspirations that can make such a huge difference. In terms of your misfortune with your interview. Sorry to hear about that. These things happen though. The reason I watch your videos is for the knowledge bombs, ideas and inspiration. But I found my way here from the main Spitfire channel. You guys have helped create this online community; and for guys like me, its a legitimate life line. I sit in a room on my own day after day working my ass off; very rarely see other human beings because of it, let alone other composers. As you’ll know; a bit further down the chain, it can be tough, lonely and at times with bags of self doubt. Eventually I’ll get out of that and make it to some composer parties/summer drinks and all that; but for now leaving long rambley comments; and watching other human beings further up the food chain offer up pearls of wisdom is as good as it gets. The reason I keep coming back is because you guys seem genuine and sincere; and while your not like the top of the top in the composing industries; you are working professionals and certainly experts in your fields. Seeing your workflows and work ethics is in some ways better and more educational than seeing how the Hans Zimmers of the world do it. Mainly because everyone wants to know those guys secrets. But the everyday composing stuff, that infos harder to come by, and is going to take a composer further and faster. The lifestyles, the industries; the tips and tricks. Outside of the Spitfire products; you and Paul are giving us all a lot; and it really does help. I’ve learn’t more actionable/useful info from you since you started this channel than I did with 3 years at an ok music college. Back then this kind of insider info just wasn’t accessible for more than the lucky handful of understudies and protégés. I’d put money on it that in 10 or 20 years some big deal composers will say they started out watching your videos. I say I’d put money on it; but I’m a composer, and I spent all my money on shiny synths.
Bloody brilliant, more of this please, Christian. Always useful to watch someone else's workflow first hand. I also feel your frustration with people making unreasonable assumptions and causing unnecessary friction, especially when we approach a situation with the best of intentions. I don't blame you for venting. None of us are emotionless robots and it's unreasonable to expect us to act as such. PS jaffacakey is now my new favourite description of a balanced mix. I'll be stealing that one
Thank you, Christian, nice to have a Tutorial that skips all the technical part and see everything from more of an artists' point of view. Really inspiring, continue the great work.
Well, since you're asking (end video), i believe that what you do is invaluable. A true and uncompromising look into your workflow, thoughts, process and opinions. This is missing from so, so many tutorial-esque video's circulating the internet. Also love the video's where you share your ideas and thoughts. It's so inspiring that i would happily support you on a platform like Patreon. Thanks Christian!
I do miss the tutorials and tech insights, it really got me back into making music and gave me a sense of hope that I could at least entertain myself and perhaps score the odd short here and there. I love the channel immensely and would love to see a couple more tutorials or mock up sessions creep in now and then. Along with the odd insightful rant which fills me with glee!
I am an amateur composer- a new one - and am always ready to learn more. Seeing this type of video, where I can see others' thought processes is extremely enlightening, helpful and motivating. More please!
Christian, you're a legend, mate! Gotta say, I do love your videos but most of all, your character and honesty is fantastic and just love the way you go off on one (as per the last 2 minutes of this video! :-)haha... ) keeping it real and raw. All the best from NZ! Mike.
This video was very helpful and appreciated. As far as future videos my favorites are always the composing videos and the stuff like "How to Program Drums Like an Old Man." Any video where you give insight in to your process with tips and tricks for manipulating sound/creating sample instruments is awesome.
Really enjoyed this and some more mixing stuff would be great, it's very interesting. Thanks for all this Christian, I've been watching from the first ep and love it! The advice and talks have really helped me think more about my path and where I want to be, who I want to work with as well handling certain situations.
I think your content is just brilliant, thank you for sharing your knowledge! I enjoyed the fast pace and format of this video. I certainly would watch more of the same. Keep up the great work, cheers!
Christian, I wish to thank you for your remarkable generosity in sharing your time, knowledge and life experience. You inspire and motivate me through your genuine and honest presentation. I really respect your putting yourself out there and allowing us to see the vulnerable transparent you. Kudos!!!!! May the next generation of composers and producers take a page from your book, specifically the fact that we all have to make mistakes if we are to persist on the road to our own achievements, whatever they may be. Luddite you are not! Keeping up with the technology is in itself a full time job. I am a keen fan and look forward to any upcoming videos. All the best of health, joy and prosperity in 2020, to you and your family.
I loved this video Christian, more content like this! Subtle changes to each individual instrument/track that made a big difference in the overall mix. Very valuable and I bet it must be easier for you to record & edit this kind of video!
Christian, sorry you had a bad day! These videos are wonderful and I think you're doing such a great job. I've been floating around making my own music for years and I'm the sort of person who has been intimidated a lot, either by know-it-all geezers in guitar shops or people who dress this up as some sort of mysterious dark art - you are basically the opposite of those guys. Thank you so much for posting. And if you ever fancy yomping down Arthur's Seat with your mutt to the Safari Rooms for a pint and a natter, let me know!
Hi Christian, YES YES, more videos like this! almost everything you did was what I do, but I never had confirmation that what I was doing was right. Now I know, or we both fell in the ditch! EQ carving is something I try to relay to projects I 'was' formerly in but they always wanted everything full spectrum, and it all ended up muddy and way bassie. Watching you work, and hearing the differences with EQ carving is amazing! More like this! Great music!
Keep it going man. Love your channel and the information you so graciously share with us. I definitely have picked up more than a fare share of tricks to use in my compositions from you.
Of all the channels I subscribe to yours is the only one I watch religiously. I have watched every video you have produced either here or on the main Spitfire channel. Why? Well other than the great content it's because I find you so affable, honest and personable. You don't have to produce this content but you choose to as, I believe, you genuinely believe in giving back to those who have helped you/Spitfire achieve so much. Yes to more of this type of content, but don't neglect the other 😉
Almost feel guilty saying this (as clearly this is just more for you to do), but yes please. I really appreciate these videos, amazed that you find the time to do them, but am learning so much, each one is a mini-masterclass. A huge thank you for your ongoing generosity.
Got that nice rich analogy Vangelis vibe about it, the eq cuts make such a difference, the guitar style track and gated synth mould it well together, would make a killer atmosphere lib track. NICE.
Thanks for taking us through your mixing process, Christian. I was surprised at how straightforward some of your choices were EQ wise but that speaks to the samples and arrangement choices you've made. This is a cool sound as well; this ethereal orchestra. I'd second some more work process videos like this. Regarding VI-Control, I've always found it very useful for resources and knowledge as a beginning composer or about news. I can understand your aversion to the place but it often feels like the same toxicity I see anywhere else on the internet. Please know that there's plenty of people like myself frequenting that forum and elsewhere that like you, your company and your compositions and find Spitfire tools inspiring and valuable in creating music of all kinds.
All of a sudden as your mixing the guitar I here “who wants to live forever “ by queen ! and the scene in highlander when it’s playing 🎼 thank you for the accidental nostalgia lol ✌️
A quick glance into your mixing n quick mastering insight is always surely helpful in these vids, as I feel one can never learn enough on mixing and mastering, especially composers these days who have to hand in finished products more than often these days. From a composition view though, it is always interesting to see how u compose these little cues in some of your videos using your own Spitfire libraries, since many of us watching here own many of these Spitfire libraries, and it is interesting to see how u approach different patches and instruments in some of these libraries in a composition. Thanks
Great video! I like how you talk about not taking away the character of the insturments when you're mixing. There are definitely people out there who over do it.
Great video Christian, super helpful! And just for the record, im not the person he's referring to at the end there but I did initially pose the question as to why it was taken down that I think kicked something off, but didn't mean for it to cause any stress! I just hadn't read it yet and was curious as to why it had gone!
Great helpful mixing insights, thank you Christian. I'd also love more of these - the mixing & mastering stuff. And do feel free to go into more detail about the basics, sometimes I wonder if you worry about boring those of your watchers who already know all this stuff and are like "duh". I'd wager the bell curve of your viewership contains more of those people who, like me, may know their onions but are always thirsty to learn more and fill in the gaps in our knowledge - something you clearly have lots of - and so don't worry, we love what you're doing! For example I'd like to what know what you were referencing with "that thing that happens with MP3s" in the mastering stage. Thanks for the great work.

That's awesome! Congrats!
Congrats!!!!
Congrats Magicmurphy, thats really impressive!
Huge congrats bud
Good for you! Congratulations!
If you want to do a before and after having watched the whole thing, then
A = 2:42
B = 19:50
Kind of an unfair comparison since B is much louder. To make it fair you should bring the volume down by about 60% for the second one.
Me listening on my crappy phone speakers with no bass: I can’t hear the difference
Was about to de the same thing but thankyouverymuch.

Absolutely amazing video. You continue to give me bits of information that I know I need but cannot find, EVERY. SINGLE. WEEK! Please more of these working sessions. Thanks again.
Christian - your videos remain to be so useful, educational and engaging. Thank you!
Great stuff. Thank you for taking the time to teach and inspire.
Absolutely educational seeing how you go about mixing, Christian, definitely keep making similar videos to this one, it is much appreciated. Loved the "jam donut" analogy. Thanks as always for the enormous amount of effort you put in doing these videos
Thank you again for everything Christian. I'm always so looking forward to the new video. Don't change anything, i think we all love it that way!
You’re amazing, Christian. Thank you.

Thank you for this wonderful masterclass!
Great video, Christian! Thank you!
Keep them coming Christian - brill job as ever!

I am an amateur composer- a new one - and am always ready to learn more. Seeing this type of video, where I can see others' thought processes is extremely enlightening, helpful and motivating. More please!
Thanks as always, would LOVE to see more over-the-shoulder videos like this!

Great Video Christian! I do like this type of video, however I love your puttering around on planes as well.
Yes please, love the tutorial type videos (although I am also a big fan of your insightful rants).

Thanks, Christian, this was very helpful for me.
Great video Christian. You truly are a very genuine and inspirational person. :)
Great video sir and beautiful composition!
Thank you for your great videos. I find this stuff so helpful. Cheers!
Almost feel guilty saying this (as clearly this is just more for you to do), but yes please. I really appreciate these videos, amazed that you find the time to do them, but am learning so much, each one is a mini-masterclass. A huge thank you for your ongoing generosity.
Love this Christian, mixing is such a tricky party of scoring for me so these are very helpful!
Thanks Christian! I notice you are pretty generous with your EQ moves. I would love more videos like this :)
I love what you are doing and your British and fun, full of enthusiasm . A beer and a chat I would gladly do we you Christian. Carry on sir !
Very inspiring! Thanks for posting!
Got that nice rich analogy Vangelis vibe about it, the eq cuts make such a difference, the guitar style track and gated synth mould it well together, would make a killer atmosphere lib track. NICE.
I like this sort of thing - very helpful, thank you.
Oh hell yeah this is so useful, it's ridiculously hard to find good mixing videos with non-EDM music. Very appreciated!
Enjoyed this very much. Sorry about the mishap you described. I love the flow of your work, including the walk and this kind of video too!!
Wow, that's beautiful
Thanks Christian, please post more like this! Mixing and mastering with samples.
I recently purchased various spitfire libraries and this is incredibly helpful from one composer to another thank you !
Yep, good stuff, thanks very much, instructive and helpful in a keep the ball rolling way ...fun, too. Thanks, more please, gratefully received.
I could watch these videos continuously. Just a wealth of information from an extremely passionate master.
Superb, high quality mixing session explained very clearly. Thank you.
Great video, highly instructive to see the mixing done in real time.
This is great TV, please film more of you mixing. And wonderful music, perfect for the dark Christmas 'daylight' up here on the Faroe Islands!
Thanks for this. Keen to see more.
You're hilarious Christian! Love you're videos!
That was terrific! Just what I needed. Thank you very much. Sorry about the bad day.
Thank you very much. As I have no words, I will thank making music.
Dude, i Love your track! Bravo
Yes! Definitely more of these types of videos. Nothing amateur about this mix.
How to mix like a pro more like. Beautiful Christian. Yes, more on-the-fly tutorials please
Really great insight into how a pro does it, invaluable for an amateur like me - keep doing what you're doing!
You rule. Don't ever change. This look into your world is as interesting as ever. All of it.
Thanks for taking us through your mixing process, Christian. I was surprised at how straightforward some of your choices were EQ wise but that speaks to the samples and arrangement choices you've made. This is a cool sound as well; this ethereal orchestra. I'd second some more work process videos like this.
Regarding VI-Control, I've always found it very useful for resources and knowledge as a beginning composer or about news. I can understand your aversion to the place but it often feels like the same toxicity I see anywhere else on the internet. Please know that there's plenty of people like myself frequenting that forum and elsewhere that like you, your company and your compositions and find Spitfire tools inspiring and valuable in creating music of all kinds.
mixing is like jam donuts. best thing i have heard all year (:

Great video! I like how you talk about not taking away the character of the insturments when you're mixing. There are definitely people out there who over do it.
Great video Christian, super helpful! And just for the record, im not the person he's referring to at the end there but I did initially pose the question as to why it was taken down that I think kicked something off, but didn't mean for it to cause any stress! I just hadn't read it yet and was curious as to why it had gone!
It would be great for you to share more of your approach to mixing. Thank you for your generosity!!!
Jam donuts analogy wonderful! That’s it for me 👌
Amateur tip: Make a favourites folder in the plugin manager to save time, instead of scrolling through the massive waves list!
Thanks :) good work!
Thank you!
Great helpful mixing insights, thank you Christian. I'd also love more of these - the mixing & mastering stuff. And do feel free to go into more detail about the basics, sometimes I wonder if you worry about boring those of your watchers who already know all this stuff and are like "duh". I'd wager the bell curve of your viewership contains more of those people who, like me, may know their onions but are always thirsty to learn more and fill in the gaps in our knowledge - something you clearly have lots of - and so don't worry, we love what you're doing! For example I'd like to what know what you were referencing with "that thing that happens with MP3s" in the mastering stage. Thanks for the great work.
Great video Christian.
Great video really interesting. More like this would be great as well. Thanks.
More please !!
Beautiful sounds here. Reminds me of Hans Zimmer`s Dunkirk score, especially the piece entitled, "Variation 15".
Thank you! I do find watching and listening to actual work invaluable (as opposed to talking about it)
