Beautiful!!! This gentleman is one of the reasons why when people talk bad about certain movies to me; I always ask them "Do you have ANY idea of what actually goes into the making of the music in the film though?" #Respect
I'd love to see another more in depth video about the VSL machines! Maybe about the 'special treatments' you did to them (how to set them up, recommended hardware, how you exactly setup VEPro etc.). I bought three of them and maxed them out to hold several libraries, but after all these hours of work and research, I wonder how you did set everything up. Absolutely love your videos! Cheers!
Thomas at around 15:00 you're discussing that you've offloaded more tasks to external VSL machines which has saved a lot of power for the main machine. I'm very curious with large template projects as you are recording midi and composing (not the audio recording stage) what buffer / delay settings you manage to achieve in Cubase. (Eg 250? 500?). Personally I'm trying to get off 1024 over here, too much delay when composing for my liking:) Great video thanks so much for sharing!
Hey Tom! Great video, like all the other ones you made. You are putting so much effort into your tutorials that one can´t be thankful enough. But PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE: Could you finally disclose the big mystery of how you manage the NEGATIVE TRACK DELAYs using EXPRESSION MAPS? Since in Cubase (not improved until V13) it is only possible to set negative track delay per track and not per individual articulation using expression maps - which makes expression maps unusable. This is the second video you posted explaining how to set and use expression maps, and still it remains an unresolved mystery… It would be about time, 5 years after posting the first video about expression maps 😉 I am pretty sure that a many of your subscribers would be eager to know and thankful for you revealing your secret. Cheers
Thanks Tom. I REALLY REALLY REALLY want to see you create a couple of Kontakt instruments from samples to show how you apply filters, modulation, expression, etc. That would be amazing, I'm sure.
In a future episode, I'd love to see Windows task manager CPU (all cores) and combined LAN usage graphs on your Cubase PC and VEPro servers, all when busy project is playing. Also what buffer size (latency) in Cubase and how many buffers in VEPro client plugins do you use. What about Cubase ASIO guard? And also to talk little bit about issues and glitches you have during busy work. Most certainly you have the most advanced setup, but almost sure you must have some problems sometimes. Cheers! S
@Junkie XL Hi Tom, What kind of approaches are you taking with JXL Brass with regards to panning and post processing? I know you said in the masterclass it changes per project but just wondering if you have any approaches worth sharing? :) Thanks! (This makes me want to switch to Cubase!)
Hi Tom ! Thanks a lot for this wondeful template video and all the others ! Your channel is an amazing ressource for education ! Priceless ! Can you explain - if you have time - how you deal with negative delay track per articulation when working with expression map ? For layering etc Thank you very much Jeremy
Hi Tom. Your Strings instrument tracks have Expression Maps, but in the mixer you have a separation to Long and Short Strings. I don't understand which track has to be routed to "Long" Group and which to "Short" because every track doesn't have a specific articulation now. Or maybe those tracks routed to somewhere else? And tell me please, why don't Brass and Woodwinds routed to Long and Short subgroups?
@@DeadWorld169 if you can afford, i have no doubt that mac with Logic Pro is THE environment for musicians of any kind,principally with Ipad togheter, unless you have something specific in other daws. I see the JXL and still wonder why he does not use Logic Pro. How can a composer use a daw that is not integrated to score editor? Even as a midi programmer some tasks are easier with the score editor. He does not use a dynamic midi controler so far I know, and not a hybrid piano. I hope he knows what he is doing
Hey Tom - thanks for the video! I notice you have the Softube Console 1 hardware and wondered how you worked with this in a quad template? Do you apply it only on stereo/mono tracks or is there a workaround that you’ve found to enable surround formats?
I like the idea for utilizing you VEP for plug-in processing. Do you find that you only can do this for settings that remain static (ie no automation) and never/rarely change? I’m assuming you have same plugins across VEP machines and Cubase host machine, so I’m assuming you have to have licenses for each machine, correct? Lastly, and sorry if you covered in a previous template episode, but are those track icons something you created or did you buy? I’d like to buy some if they were.
Hey Tom, Great video as always. Thank you for doing what you do. I'm wondering if you could clarify something for me. You mentioned that you bounce your audio into another mix template. I do the same thing before it goes to dub. (My template is based off of Trevor Morris' template so all my synthmaster stuff goes to the final 21 stems which I bounce to a mix project) My question is this... What percentage of time do you spend getting the 'mix' right in the writing template as opposed to the mix template? What do you do in the mix template specifically that you can't or choose not to do in the writing template? Is it just a 'headspace / approach " thing? Write all the cues...bounce them and then mix them at the end once you have a better sence of the overall dynamic curve or eq curve of all the cues? I think I spend too much time getting my mix right in the writing phase which uses a lot of DSP so I'm wondering how or what the best approach is between the two. Just wanted to ask Thanks --Sean.
I don't have to deal with the tight schedule movie/media music composers have to deal with but I've tried to work with templates, and no, I don't like that. It gives me the feeling to be jailed by a choice of intruments and track mixes before I begin to compose something. Before I have any idea. Or you build an humongous template of 6.748 tracks in various sub-folders/groups with almost all of the choices in which you have to scroll & scroll. Actualy my "template" is my favourite grand piano, nothing else, and I've to "re-invent the wheel" , and make new decisions, for each of my pieces. Maybe I'll change my mind about this matter one day, who knows, in art it's important not to be jailed by your own choices 😉 Regarding VSL, I've tried the demo version with a spare old computer, and yes, it works quite well. One day, when I'll have the money, I'll jump in with a big dedicated fully loaded PC in my bassement. (and again, I always wonder why the windows are "ghosted" when Tom moves them. Is it a very old Windows version? Nowadays when you move a window on your computer it moves with its content, not just the outlines. Is it a choice in order to spare some CPU processing?)
Judging by the window style and the template/project size this is run on some PC running Windows. (A laptop probably won’t handle this kind of workload). Edit: @22:55 he mentions he uses a PC.
He has a video showing his setup with the servers tucked in a closet. If he hasn't upgraded them yet, they're 3 core i9-9900k machines. I don't know if his main workstation is also an i9.
my dream is to have a template like this, I have thousands of instruments in hundreds of libraries, and just don't have the power to run everything at once, even gotten myself vienna ensemble pro and just cant get it to work with studio one.. I'm such a sad sad composer lol

Geweldig Tom! Much appreciated 🙏🏻
Hi! thanks for this video. VEP running in the back on the same machine works for me with Logic and Cubase.
So excited!!

Wow, super template! Amazing! Why do you use a quad monitor? What are the advantages over stereo listening?

My laptop crashed just watching this template video. I definitely need a better PC (not a laptop!)
haha a mac mini would be the way, or big mac
@@emanuel_soundtrack Can't say I'm a big fan of macs though haha. Although I used a Mac many years ago when I was learning how to mix and master.
