I'm a beginner musician and I stumbled on your channel randomly, and man... You do great tutorials! Simple to understand by someone who doesn't know anything about musical theory. You're the perfect youtuber for me, really. Thank you!
Alex, your videos are so valuable. It is such a pleasure to spend time with you and learn from your experience. Thank you for sharing all of the amazingly cool stuff that you do!
In an effort to bring more orchestral elements to my arrangements (I have a few libraries more or less premium hoarded through the years, but never used them as much, only on a few symphonic metal covers) I want to learn more of these "industry tricks"! this channel will help me a lot in that regard, grazie! :D
Hi Alex. I like the length of this tutorial, and how you explain just one topic in a simple and understandable. I would really like to see more like this one. You inspire!
I also use Oceania Choir. I think is wonderful because is fast, easy to use and it sounds very well if you want a powerful choral melody. And it features shouts skyrim-like :D :D. And I agree, the libraries who articulate as you play are very intuitive and I like them a lot. I hope they listen to you and they make more libraries like that! I use Cubase with Expression Maps with Art Conductor (a library of expression maps) in order to change the articulations. It's not free, but it is very useful and it saves you a lot of time of tweking things. Great video -as always!
Alex, you're very great at what you do! I really enjoy your videos! I would love to hear a cover of "The last of the Mohicans" soundtrack from you! It's an old movie but the soundtrack is so amazing and I know you have the ability to cover it perfectly!! keep up the good work ;)
The second version has something relaxed and funny enough more weight. The first version is really bombastic, but to my ears kinda 'shouty' . Which doesn't mean marcato is a bad thing, but more like ... when do you use it? . Interesting video though and for me its a fun thing to see you do these orchestrations not in Cubase but in Fruity Loops :-) Wouldn't have guessed that. . thumbs up from me .
Alex, *can you please send tell what are those up and down lines in your MIDIs??? Are they Automations? Are they some controllers? What are those overlaying lines on your MIDIs?* 0:49
It's nothing but the Mod. Wheel / Expression MIDI CC curves. If you don't know what they are, I refer to them in most of my tutorials when talking about dynamics and volume (th-cam.com/video/mLgnH-UESO0/w-d-xo.html).
How to solve the problem of needing to make long notes with marcato ?. Most librarys have a marker between cut and you can not sustain the duration of the note. Regards from Argentina!
Hi alex, I noticed that you use stereo enhancer quite a few times, I sure try to use it on my own but I think I'm not using it the right way, it seems to get the mix more clumsy. Do you have any tutorial where you explain it? And thanks a lot for your help with these tutorials, I'm a big fan of your work.
I have a great problem when I shift from short articulations as stacatto or spicatto to sustains, great difference in volumen and sustain are very very softly versus de attack of short artic... :-(
Hi Alex, thank you for the tutorial. I have a question in regard to BRSO. Which version of the plugin do you use? I tried installing both 1.08 and 1.07, but encounter problems as Plugin Manager does not want to let BRSO in. Have you had similiar difficulties?
Did you install it using the actual setup file, or did you just copy paste the .dll in the plugins folder? If you did the first and it still doesn't work, try contacting BRSO's developer at the official website!
I made a video covering the basics of articulations in the past where you can get a nice blueprint -> th-cam.com/video/hLMEO2B5Dx0/w-d-xo.html These ones I plan to make for each articulation (like this specific Marcato video) will go more in depth in each.
Your videos are really great, but I can't make these musics until I don't have such beautiful instruments like yours. So please tell me how can I get those instruments?
Is there a way to save midi CC assignation in kontakt so if we open a new kontakt instance and load an instrument, it remember the midi CC# assignation so we dont have to setup brso articulate each time (even if we can save presets on brso...)
I guess, if you set up the CCs and then saved the patch, it would keep the new CC information memorized next time you open it. However, CC#1 (Mod. Wheel), CC#11 (Expression) and CC#7 (Volume) are usually set by default on every professional kontakt library.
Bro can u tell me what are the specifications for your pc..I'm having plan on buying a new laptop..I'm using Flstudio as my daw..can you suggest me a good laptop..with the specifications that you have in your pc.. Bro also list me the latest specifications..for using all the libraries that you have..I need a laptop in latest version that can work for another several years too....so plz list down or suggest me some latest specifications than you have or those specifications that are in current..so I that I can buy a laptop with those specifications..this is my humble request..plz..help me to get this idea..
isn't it becoming a different melody from when you first started the melody(sustained notes) to when you make it faster with stacatto + marcato ? Essentially
Nope, it's the same melody, but it doesn't come through as much by using sustains only. The rhythm changes slightly by uisng sustain, and so does the intensity of the notes, making the different accents in the melody way less noticeable and the melody way less effective.
Alex, to spice up your videos you should speak using the articulation you're talking about. For marcato: HEy GUYs ITs ALex! ... Legato: Heyguysit'salex ... Staccato: H E Y G U Y S I T S A L E X 😂😂
Haha, that would be fun. However, it's true though, using different "articulations" and switchign through them constantly in a speech makes you way more interesting to listen to. You might sound like a psycho if you overdo it though. :P
Hi alex as always nice tutorial It helped me very well. th-cam.com/video/B4RBNYJW-ds/w-d-xo.html in this video I asked you about my problem with kontakt (100% disk red ) you said to me that it could be SSD/HDD/DFD ( I don't know what's the DFD btw ) in brief I figured out that my laptop has no SSD ... for more details this is my computer : ASUS X550VX i5-6300HQ, up to 3.2GHz, 8GB of ram (DDR4, 2133MHz) , Nvidivia Geforce 950M (2GB of memory DDR5) So there is no SSD, is this the problem ?
DFD patches are Kontakt Patches that stream the samples from the hard drive /SSD Drive, rather than loading them into the RAM when you open the patch and streaming the samples from there. If you're not using DFD Patches, try to get in touch wtih Native Instruments on their support forums as I'm not sure what's causing the issue here. They should reply to you :)
@@AlexMoukala thanks Alex for the reply I'll do it. Can you do a tutorial about synth please how to create a sound ect. You can listen to electro of Hans Zimmer to understand what I'm talking about

This is perfect. I would definitely love it if you made more tutorials like this about other types of articulations. Good luck in London!
It would be great a tutorial/list/demostration for all the articulations , expressions and entonations that can be used in different libraries. :D
Legato, pizzicato, staccato, marcato, staccatissimo, spiccato, "sustains", trills, sul ponte, rips, portato (portamento), glissando, crescendo, vibrato, tremolo, arpeggio, ricochet, tie, slur, tenuto, snap pizzicato, muted, arpagado, ostinado, drumrolls, crash, etc. That's all I can remember at this point, though there are likely dozens more I missed or haven't learned the names of yet - mostly violin family subset techniques, such as the various subtypes of pizzicato and such.

wow, your accent saying that italian names of the articulations is very italian!!! compliments also for the very nice content!
most useful tutorials channel in all youtube history
Great Production! Love it!
A tutorial for each articulation is more than welcome !
Plz make more videos on articulations

Singing the melodies helps a lot :)
Yes! Yes! I want more videos on articulations.
London is great and i hope you enjoy your stay! Thanks for this tutorial Alex!
Super useful. I begin orchestral composing and this helps a lot. Thanks
Would be nice to get a FL studio basic tutorial for orchestral composition :D
How do you manage the problem that some libraries play only one note when marcato is activated
3:20.
Man, your voice sounds great.
Really
wish u all the success you desire 🙏
I would love more tutorials on articulations.
"Dah dahse vasatse vizeh" - Alex Moukala 2018
So he spoke!
Great video! I think another confusing articulation can be legato versus sustain
legato is used when you switch between notes seamlessly
sustain is holding a note for a long time
Once again great job and a great video!Thanks Alex!Good luck in London man!👍🏻
Alex, you're very great at what you do! I really enjoy your videos! I would love to hear a cover of "The last of the Mohicans" soundtrack from you! It's an old movie but the soundtrack is so amazing and I know you have the ability to cover it perfectly!! keep up the good work ;)
Great video! Any suggestions for writing Marcato when the library does not support this articulation?
absolutely plz do playlist videos about each articulations separate tq
How do you space out your choirs, do you turn off snap to grid? Or do you set each one from the double click menu?
perfect alex.congratulations
A hug here from brazil

I'm just using it as an additional way to control the volumes. But I could (and probably should) use Fruity Balance instead. :P
Unfortunately, I only have Nucleus. There is no marcatto in Nucleus. Can we use Legato + Stacato, instead?
