Hi guys,
In light of your feedback, we decided to amend the title to something that better reflects the content of this video. Thanks as always for your contributions, keep them coming! I hope you’re all well and safe, Oliver x
One chord or not, it's a gorgeous piece, Oliver
My only question is why does the tempo keep changing?
Is the tempo mapping thing you did intended to be done before you start scoring other instruments?
Can you write a track with just one chord? Yes, of course. But this is not one of them.
:)))
Title must have been a Typo. He obviously meant to write "Pedal tone" not "Chord".
lol
Aww go easy on the guy. It’s based on a pedal tone and is gorgeous music. Admittedly a lot of different harmonies are implied, so the title should probably read “can you write piece centered around one note?” Cheers, great piece and love the Albion V stuff!
One chord? I don't understand the title. If I had a beer for every new chord I'd be flat on my back. Please clarify or amend the title. I feel clickbaited - and by Spitfire!
i think it should read "... with just one albion" ;)
Nice piece!
But....
Chord changes at bar 8
Chord changes at bar 10
Chord changes at bar 12
Ok I was going to go on, but there’s way too many lol. You get the idea.
Come on guys! It is just a Gm15 chord in a bunch of different variations with some notes omitted throughout! Duh
:-)))
In classical Indian music they often use a root and 5th as a drone and then only single note ragas over it . The root and 5th would be peddle notes or a drone . . They don’t have harmonic theory in classical Indian music But in western music theory we would call more than one note played at once a chord and as the notes change it makes different chords . You could write a song with no chords just make a single note melody :)
My favorite Albion Series library is Tundra next, Neo after, One. I love those three libraries with solo strings. I can not wait until I get Chamber Strings to finish my collection. Spitfire has changed my life from a school teacher to a composer, I will always say thank you, to the great individuals at Spitfire.
Stay Safe.
I see and listen to lots of chords in your piano roll. I just do not understand why you say only one chord...
I guess the answer is no
What an amateur title lol .. One chord? Only bass is same, played with quiet piano so it doesnt disturb other harmonies
Nice piece Oliver, I thought I had watched this on Tundras release, lol. I bought it straight away. Great edition to the Albion Market, excuse the pun, lol.🤪
Great returning. I really enjoyed the piece and the video. Tundra is the only symphonic library I own, so I particularly enjoyed you using it here.
Keep the good work coming.
Very good video again! With a quiet subtle piece like this I'd be interested to know what sort of level you aim for when mastering? Thanks.
Hi Andrew, thanks a lot for the nice words. When mastering, I'd aim for the same level as with a loud piece, I usually have a peak limiter at -0.3. I guess I'd compress it much less and have more dynamic range than with a louder piece. I hope this helps, Ox
A title's aim isn't clickbaiting. Is to generate whole bunch of disagreeing comments))) Good work!
BTW, change Logic's LCD and you'll see there are lots of chords out there
can anyone help? i tried to do that beat mapping to a naturally played performance but it says "setting this beat would cause the corresponding tempo value to be too high" and then it makes this really weird jumpy tempo map with some parts being 990 bpm and some parts extremely slow
Hans Zimmer techniques is happening in this piece every 1/64 beats
Oliver Thank you again for another wonderful piece of music !! Hoping you and your family are safe and well
Anybody know which controller Oliver is using here?
Great stuff as usual! Thanks for the inspiration!
thanks for watching and commenting Carl, stay well! Ox
I can write a twenty minute long piece based on one note...
A Rap opera
@@clear_gray_sky539 Nah... Can't "sing" :-D
Glenn Morrison - Hydrology is a track that was made using only one chord. (It was also ghost-produced by deadmau5.)
Does anyone know which screen monitor Oliver is using? Looks great!
it demonstrate answer is no, for him, using minimum 3chords
I like your vst plugins but this isnt one chord= =
Just one chord? which one of them? I've heard a three or four diferent ones
Not really One chord there mate :) But the Music was great
wow, that Tempo mapping!!
Does anybody know if there is a way of doing this in Reaper?
In the Master Track, right click over trim, and then click "tempo map" and then, if you don't see the tempo mapping, try "Show all active envelopes" or "Show all visible tracks envelopes in envelopes lanes". You have to see a lane behind the Master Track. In that lane you can add and erase anchor points with shift+click where you want. And right clicking with points selected, you have another menu. There, on "Set shape for select points", you can make that those points be square (a leap with no progression, for example, from 120bpm to 180bpm automatically) or linear (a progression, from 120bpm speeding up to 180bpm).
It's easier to do it than to explain it. ^^U
Hope that helps. :)
Excellent. Thank you!
Damn that sounds so beatiful
3:30 "based around 1 chord, or one note" ah there is the confession
Speaking of Tundra, this was my very first VST library. And I still find it very useful for my work. Those techniques, are great for translating the most intimate emotions into sound. Spitfire libs tend to develop mostly flautando-ish articulations and I guess Tundra is one of the best ones in this matter
All the Spitfire Labs are gorgeous to play with. There is a lovely gengle feeling to them all.
Ich habe heute Tundra nach langem Zögern gekauft und freue mich, damit nun zu arbeiten.
Very ...... full. Complete. Sufficient. Best one from Oliver so far. Have you covered midi keyboards recommendations yet? Is that a Novation Impulse 8-O ?
Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated. It's a Novation impulse 49 (the one on top), I'm currently testing it out, but find that I do miss the additional octaves here and there. What are you using? Ox
@@OliverPatriceWeder Hi Oliver, I am still interested in your midi keyboard recommendations :) The Physis Piano that Paul uses isn't available in the US I guess - no one talks about it. I'd love for a 73-88 key midi controller that is great for the nuanced playing of the piano as well as the orchestra. What do you suggest?
Nice one! I really like these videos where you are primarily using one library to make a whole track. And please, please, please elaborate on the tempo map technique. Would love to learn a little more about that feature in Logic Pro X.
Hi there, thank you for the nice words and commenting. Please let me know what else you'd like to learn about the tempo map feature? Ox
Oliver Patrice Weder Is the tempo mapping an automatic thing? Can it be done on a midi track, as well as audio? Guess I need a tutorial, since most all of my compositions are done without click, for the most realistic feel. Thanks...excellent use of all the sounds...Wonderfully moody. I have much to learn.
Yes-See decades of techno and hip hop.
5:53: I swear to god, I hate recording with a metronome... Lovely composition!
The tempo map technique you mention from 8:30 onwards is great! Is this also possible with ableton live or is there a workaround?
Hi Nudel - yeah it really is a great function. I am not entirely sure about Ableton I'm afraid, maybe someone else here knows? Thank you for watching and commenting, Ox
@@OliverPatriceWeder Hey Oliver! Thanks for your reply - I'll do some research and if I find something, I'll let everyone know here :)
does anyone know of a (spitfire or other) library with these types of quiet articulations but in solo? really looking for some close miced avant garde/weird/experimental string sounds....
Great!
Wow
Since some have referenced some one-chord pieces, allow me to mention Pink Floyd's Careful With That Axe Eugene.
Loved the beat mapping technique! Thanks Oli 👏😊
This composition sounds fantastic, Oliver! Thanks ever so much for sharing!
I love your peice.
The air that filled underneath, where did you get that sound from?
Oliver, this is a gorgeous piece! Gmin is one of my favorite keys to work in.
Thank you Oliver for these videos, they are really helpful!
Nice composition, good tutorial . Enough said 😂🙏
We even have the full Cadence at 2:35 with one chord. Hmmmmm 🤔🤔
Good stuff, as usual!
Amazing!!!!
Nice composition! Perfect for film music.
Many thanks Raggo! Hope you are well, Ox
🔥
That'd be a NO then, if this is anything to go by.
The theory is in quarantine too! lol😂
I have a quick question about the ‘introduction’ piece for this library. At exactly 1.00 in there is a huge ‘boom’. What makes that sound please? 🙏
Jeremy Brewer Probably Easter Island from Albion ONE or the Darwin Perc from Albion V.
Hi Jeremy, it's actually a patch from Albion Tundra called 'Proud Fat Chord', only just discovered this too, it's such a rich sound isn't it? Thank you for watching and commenting, Ox
Oliver Patrice Weder Thanks Oliver. 🙏
just a little bit of hope...
Nice job on that one.
Cheers Roger :) Ox
of course you can.. " The Beatles" helloooooo
