    Trying something new with the video and with the song, first time ever writing for a big jazz band and the first time I've recorded what it looks like in FL Studio while I write music.

    That sounds extremely good for a full digital production. Big up for this piece.

      ​@@pizzazemle6262 what does that even matter lmao it's the same digital tools, the only difference is a treated room and possibly 11.2.4 surround sound for atmos. a stereo mix needs none of that and the best headphones to mix on are like $200. Like I have a full home studio with 7.1 and I still use my hd6xx and hd598, and just check with reference tracks and my full setup. You can learn everything a studio hired artist has off youtube and you know most big studios are not hiring the composer to fly in and work there anymore right? a lot of it is work from home, even the voice talents unless it's BIG budget work from home fairly often now.
      Not to mention these dudes cut their teeth on t.v. shows, where youre sometimes getting the hour long episode and doing a full comp in like a week.
      or the fact 99% of people who work composing for film and t.v. are not working for "trillion dollar studios" lmao, which aren't even a thing but for the purpose of the argument it's like ten people at the highest level and they do a handful of films a year, like three maybe. the dudes using full orchestration are exceedingly rare and dwindling as time goes on

    Oh wow this was great. As a musician who struggles to make good horns in go studio, seeing your approach is super interesting. This piece is soooo tasty! I am curious also about the mixing and effects you’re putting on the horns. The bright ones especially pop so naturally. This track is an inspiration!

    dude this sounds amazing - takes me back to my big band days! i think it would sound even doper if you cut bars 204-208 so contrast between the sparse and busy sections leading up to the end is maximised. your call tho - sounds great either way!

      @@wiinexus I'm sorry, but digital jazz isn't there yet. It is nowhere close to the tradition of a big band with live musicians. Each person knows their instrument much better than the arrangers, and it is usually up to them to give life and nuance to a song based on what they hear. Digital jazz also involves communication between musicians reacting to each other. There's also a lack of infrastructure for jazz vst and a lack of mockup experience and tutorials compared to other genres. If you could imagine it, there are musicians who could take the first part with just a bass and drum and make it feel incredible, and then the piano comes in with some exciting ideas that you would want to listen to again for the execution. Then, the brass comes in, responding to each other's calls and responses. This is a very good mockup, but you should be aware.
