Hallo Nathan here is patrik from switzerland student of you, hope you remember me you gave me some feedback on feedback friday. Amazing what you did whit this song thank you for shaering
You've just reduced a middle aged Scotsman to tears, when you and Quinn listen at the final draft mix at the end there. I just opened up, out of the blue, and I think it really hit a nerve with me. The realisation of your music being performed by a national orchestra, that was beautiful and it really affected me, made me realise how important my own journey has been to me. Thank you !! Wishing you guys every and continued success. Cheers, Pete.
I was sucked into this from the beginning .. amazing, experiencing myself not catching tones after a massive stroke but still be able to feel the beauty of other peoples work is amazing 🙂
The difference in dynamics between an actual orchestra and VST strings regardless of how great the quality is night and day. The emotion from the real orchestra literally moves your soul.
Wow, Nathan! You continue to blow me away with your soul and dedication to your music. You inspire me to be better in every video you do. Thank you for wearing your heart on your sleeve with us as always! Hope to start music back up and sending them to FBF!
Amazing to see your comp come to life with a real orchestra. Just WOW!! I've always dreamed to have some of my music performed by a real live orchestra. Now I know it's possible. It's on my bucket list!! Thank you for sharing.
This is SO BEAUTIFUL!!!! Great writing !!! Amazing !!!
2 หลายเดือนก่อน
this is wonderful.. I am from Czech and I must say it was kinda nice to see how this small orchestra from Czech can make such a touching performance in just 20min. I am also having similar dream. so now I saw that its actualy not that difficult nowadays. Keep on Nathan..
This was the most inspiring video I have seen this week. I am a hobby producer that came back from a 20 year break. I wonder if it would be possible to get to this level just with a DAW and great plugins. I can't but I have heard a handful of really skilled producers. A pro viloinist can probably tell the difference tho, maybe. Anyway great video and great musical piece. 🎉
Equally as impressive as the composition itself is how you composed yourself when the zoom call started. I released emotion for you when they first queued up the orchestra bro. Near tears! haha. Absolutely exquisite and wonderful job! I bet you that a lot of couples will use that as their wedding song one day.
Did not see THIS coming! Your videos stun me each and every time! Keep up the amazing work! P.S, out of curiosity, do professional orchestras like this require detailed scoring (dynamics, articulation, expression, etc) and would you recommend getting a professionally proof-read score from a composer for someone like me who isn't experienced in scoring? I'm still new to production and don't have the budget for live strings but wanted to ask out of curiosity. Thnx
Yes it is very important to have detailed scoring - if you dont then you are essentially leaving it up to the conductor and orchestra which is very likely going to get you results that you don't love. If you don't know how to do this then honestly you need to hire an orchestrator to do it. That is not just finding someone to proofread - that is more like finding someone who can actually take the project and do all of the orchestration - if you dont know how to do it then it's honestly too risky to try it on your own.
Man i knew a lot of people recorded in Budapest, but I didn't know it was *that* low-priced haha. Will definitely have to work with them soon! Thanks for the vid man, awesome piece you two wrote :)
Thank you Nathan for considering my comment, it's highly appreciated that you've made a full-fledged video on it with the extreme of perfection. Really don't know how many other would've considered to the level in which you've did it. Mad respect.
This is amazing!!! I am on the train right now watching this video and I literally have tears in my eyes 👀 when the orchestra was playing… this is amazing. So real so original. I have no words 😶 Loved it… Amazing!!!! One thing I want to say AI 🤖 NEVER CAN REPLACE HUMANS…
Its was soo good like I literally got tears and goosebumps once i heard those lush strings and it feels like a win like you are my own brother !!! I beleive that one day I'll record live strings for my song as it was my dream. Thanks Nathan it was wondeful and waiting fot the song to get release !
Yo!! Love that song so much - I have used it SEVERAL times in other videos, too - one of my favorite songs for those emotional moments of reflection. You nailed it! Happy to be able to help guys like you get paid for doing what you do as well - I know I love seeing those royalty statements when I get songs of mine used, too!
Oh dear ... You might want to listen to this - th-cam.com/video/kyg-Xsn4tMo/w-d-xo.html In a quirky twist of fate, I also had Musiversal quote on it but settled with CPO. It was registered, copyrighted and first performed early this year. And it's already been released on my latest album ...
Thanks! Well, good news for you - I'm back on the regularly schedule content train. Plan is two vids in this format per month (that's the goal - we'll see how it goes - managing this on top of everythign else is a lot!)
This is fantastic. I never would have known this was possible, without seeing this video. . I have a small orchestral piece in Logic and will explore the Musiversal option....wish I knew anything about Finale/scoring (I don't) - so getting the proper score out of Logic will be the biggest challenge :). Thanks so much for sharing your journey on this....the results were breathtaking.
This Video Needs More Views!!! Awesome Job! I need to figure out my notation. I'll check out your "lets-work". I have a song I'll definitely need help with, especially notation, but it's going to be Hans zimmer worthy, aka Nathan Larsen worthy ;)... great worth my guy!!! P.s. your videos are so helpful, thank you!!!
@@marcinkosiorek7936 this is not one of my songs - it's for Quinn Throness so she's the artist. I'm not involved on release strategy so I am not sure. She gave me permission to make the video
I wish I could like this video twice. I love the BTS, I love the arrangement, I love the orchestra, I love your reactions. Is there something in my eye? Amazing.
I love strings .i play it on my korg kronos and kurzweil pc3x. . For the best piano im looking for a kawai mp7se . Its better then a vst I think.. but For strings Im also looking vst now
This is amazing! I love writing string arrangements but I don’t know how to write a score, what do you suggest I do? Cuz I don’t want to spend so much on having some transcribe my arrangement
RIP... yeah, didn't feel like that was something I needed to talk about in this video... I'm definitely not stoked about it. Probably gonna switch to Sibelius .... sad day.
@@NathanJamesLarsenI just made the switch to Dorico. A bit slow going in the beginning, and I'm definitely still using Finale 27 for now on time-sensitive projects. It still works for now. But the writing's on the wall. Nice arrangement on Quinn, btw.🚀
if you're someone who's worked in this field for as long as you have as a professional, haven't you done this sort of orchestral session many times before? of course it's always a thrill hearing any project brought to life by real players, but the momentous "shock, surprise and awe" about the process seems a bit... well... put on.
This is a fair question - when I got my start professionally (about 11 years ago) I was working with way less high end ensembles. I got my degree in music composition - so yes I got to hear a lot of my music performed in school and also in a professional setting, too. I did a lot of solo writing (i.e. solo violin with piano / oboe / solo piano / etc) I also did a lot of choral writing - I wrote/orchestrated a full live theatre musical - but the ensemble that performed it was not that awesome. And once I turned my focus to producing and not "just composing" - I almost entirely work with sound libraries and don't get the budget to work with real orchestras like this in the video, so this was definitely the best orchestra I'd worked with before (by a lot). Just to note on something on this point around my response/reaction- just because I've done this for a long time doesn't mean I can't get emotional still just so ya know... it does never get old. I've produced with live strings a LOT in my career and just last year did a live session with a quartet (which I have done MANY live string sessions with smaller groups) and still got a bit choked up during the session... so I'd just encourage you to not be so quick to "judge" what someone's reaction is (like mine). I can assure you that what I showed was my genuine response to the moment. I'm not mad at your comment but it does kind of suck to be in a position where I'm basically "explaining myself" as to why what I showed was real... but I get it... quite the times we live in with a LOT of fake content out there (which I've been openly critical of) Hope this makes sense
@@NathanJamesLarsen Thanks for the response, sorry to put you in that position of explaining. I'm genuinely very supportive of the idea of someone bringing awareness to what us orchestrators, producers and arrangers do which is why I clicked! Especially such detail about the technical process, software, workflow (if you peruse my channel you'll notice I'm not just some guy on the internet with a baseless uninformed opinion, haha well maybe I am). I really appreciate how you make it entertaining and tell the story. My initial feeling was not that it was "inauthentic", I guess that it just all felt turned up to 11 like a lot of TH-camrs are doing which of course has a legit purpose. It might be a personal taste thing for me in the end tho which is neither here or there. Wishing you great success and perhaps our paths will cross in the real world at some point
@@AndrewKesler I appreciate the thoughtful response - and I can just tell you this -- I showed my wife the video after it was edited and she was like "This feels so YOU" and I heard the same from a few friends that actually know me. So, my personality is not a small one lol for better or worse! And I am aware that can rub people as "cranking it up" when I'm not - that's just who I am... I'm a very expressive person in general - heck if you watch my live streams when I am just making music live - sometimes I get willlllllld cause I'm so into it haha. And I know that's not everyone's cup of tea - and there's a lesson there too - it's not worth trying to be everyone's cup of tea. Cause that's literally impossible haha. Wish you the best
@@AndrewKesler Also just dude just looked at your channel - freaking love Accent. Wonderful stuff - I always was jealous of dudes who could do big band arrangement. I sadly never got into jazz so I'm the dummy who can do lame shell voicings and "fake it" and real jazzers are like "yeah you suck" But I always aired towards more cinematic / film score-esque stuff. Keep cranking man - love the "I Don't Know About You" arrangement. Sick.
@@NathanJamesLarsen I'm sure we'd get along swimmingly in the same room haha, don't sweat it! Be yourself, sorry this first impression didn't come off so great. I'll be following and supporting :) Drop me a line if you're in LA anytime
6:46 hi Nathan, I‘m a huge fan! Thanks so much for sharing, looks like it was a loooot of work but it’s soooo worth it! I only have a quick question: you say something like: „go away now!“ you mean it as a joke right? Like you stop talking about yourself? Not I as a viewer should stop watching, sorry weird random question. I love to listen to you music on Apple Music! Your awesome!
@@TonyThomas10000 not sure yet - I can still use it - they just don't have support which I honestly never really used anyways since there's so much already out there... eventually I will need to switch so probably Sibelius
Why not travel to the session. Surely the coast of a return flight and a couple of nights hotel would not have been a significant increase on the total price?
Musiversal does have people who can do this - I'm not 100% what their process is like in that format. Otherwise, I'd say you just need to do some research looking for people who specialize in that - private facebook groups, IG, etc.
@@joshuanesbit for a 20m session - I did the math for an hour - $160/hour roughly. It's hard to know for sure since I obviously don't know exactly how the money is distributed - nor is that my business. This is also in a country where cost of living is much lower so that's actually pretty good.
Matthew 18 15-20 Your "specialization," though, makes all of your stuff sound the same. Not in a stylistic kind of way. Just two cents from a nobody that appreciates your production knowledge but has noticed that everything sounds the same as far as your available discography and on your channel. If that seems kind of salty, it's because it is. A lot of your off the cuff comments lately are kind of flippantly trying to offend people. Not very graceful. Be better. SO MUCH of your success comes at the fruit of blessings that many in the industry do not have the luxury of.
Not sure what Matt 18:15-20 has to do with your comment. Can you give me an example of me flippantly trying to offend people? As far as your comment on my music and how it sounds... respectfully - I'm making what I love and I'm incredibly thankful I get to do it. I'm not expecting everyone to love what I do and I think it's a wonderful lesson to learn that when you create something artist - inevitably someone is going to comment something like what you have. And that's okay - you don't need to love or like what I do. What I do as an artist is what I love to make and if you don't that's okay. You don't need to. I would truly be curious where you think I'm being flippantly offensive - cause that comment is actually pretty surprising to me.

How do you recommend going about hiring an Orchestral Arranger. I am writing a Btoadway style Musical with new age, pop and jazz elements.

Otherwise, I'd say you just need to do some research looking for people who specialize in that - private facebook groups, IG, etc.

Not sure what Matt 18:15-20 has to do with your comment.
Can you give me an example of me flippantly trying to offend people?
As far as your comment on my music and how it sounds... respectfully - I'm making what I love and I'm incredibly thankful I get to do it. I'm not expecting everyone to love what I do and I think it's a wonderful lesson to learn that when you create something artist - inevitably someone is going to comment something like what you have. And that's okay - you don't need to love or like what I do. What I do as an artist is what I love to make and if you don't that's okay. You don't need to.
I would truly be curious where you think I'm being flippantly offensive - cause that comment is actually pretty surprising to me.
No it dosen't.
