- I recreated the Avengers main theme by ear with MIDI using Audio Imperia's new orchestral sample library "Nucleus: The Orchestral Core".
►►► Here's HOW I made this mockup: • Avenger's Main Theme |...
Learn more about Audio Imperia’s “Nucleus”: www.audioimperia.com/products...
95% of this was done by ear, the other 5% was asking friends to help me figure out that glockenspiel part in the intro (it's still not quite there but it's good enough)
Let me know what you think in the comments below!
IF YOU'RE NEW TO THE CHANNEL:
Hey! My name's Tom Hawk, I'm a UK based music composer & artist.
I create videos documenting my journey, which includes vlogs, behind the scenes footage, as well as videos showcasing my music and tutorials on writing cinematic/orchestral music, sound design, content creation and more. - เพลง
This was flagged straight away and TH-cam sent an email about a copyright claim. I guess the mock-up must have been pretty accurate haha
It Sounds just like the Original.. great Job
Ben Pieler thanks Ben! Glad you think so! It was fun working on this
just goes to show how good a job you do man
awesome work! you nailed it
Ultimate reward !
I smell popcorn whenever I hear this
same 😊
The music coming from cinema was just this, so they are related 😂
My ears have been caressed with the beauty of the POWAH of this instrument library!
JaxLynnstarAnimate haha, glad you like it!
That brisitish accent suites orchestral music
I was on the fence for BBC or Nucleus, this helped push me to Nucleus by a milestone! It sounds 99.9% like the original, I probably wouldn't be able to tell it wasn't had I just heard this without knowing it was a mock-up; brilliantly done!! :)
Thank you for the kind words, I remember trying to get it as close as possible to the original. Enjoy using Nucleus! There’s a behind the scenes video where I break down this mock-up, that might be helpful for getting started with Nucleus:

Great job, Tom! Nucleus rocks too! :D
Alex Pfeffer thanks Alex! It sure does 😊
Yeah,it does
I am convinced of buying nucleus
OMG This actually sounds so close to the original! You and this remake are awesome! ;)
Well... You convinced me to buy it haha, great mockup
Hope you enjoy using the library! And thanks, glad to hear you liked the mock-up :)
Awesome! Excellent rendition!
Thank you!
It's funny the song covers the entire range of the keyboard!
EDIT: Here is the behind the mock-up video you guys requested! th-cam.com/video/IzAl3OZXn6w/w-d-xo.html
I hope you enjoyed listening to this!
Yes i want to see!! :) Just bought Nucleus.
Please!!!
That would be great!
Alright, I'm scheduling in some time soon to create this video for you all :)

@@spicymemechannel hahaha 🤣
very good job man ;)
Bravissimo !! *****
Thank you! 👊🏼
Nice work man, I did the same a few months back - great theme.
Kirby Spencer Music thanks Kirby! You mean you also recreated this theme? I’d love to hear it :)
th-cam.com/video/gGYJAvNcWuM/w-d-xo.html - Yeah, had a go around the time endgame was out. I was on the hype train I guess xD
That's some serious shit going on there.... Keep up mate... Great work!
Hi! did you do this epicness with the Lite version or the "full" one? Amazing btw!
MetalRiderPlasma hi there! Thank you for the kind words! And this was created with the full version of Nucleus :)
Amazing man! The only thing that could be added is more reverb becuase it sounds a bit in your face when compared to the original. The horns end abruptly instead of smoothly which is why I think you could've added reverb more. But still its the closest remake I've heard of late.
THE ROBBER thank you, I appreciate the feedback! You’re right that it’s dryer than in the original, however I wanted to keep any additional processing to a minimal so that it’s as close to what this library sounds like out of the box. So there’s just a bit of EQ and a lower level of added reverb - I can completely understand what you mean though :)
Really great cover. I was in the middle of making one of these as well when I saw this lol
Thanks! And that’s awesome, I know this is a while ago now but did you finish your mock-up of this theme?
@@TomHawkComposerhey man! New account here, haha. I didn’t end up finishing this piece in its entirety, but it was a good exercise for sure. Maybe I’ll try my hand at it now that I’ve improved a lot :)
@@PeterToml1nson Hey! Yeah maybe it would be cool to try it out again and see how far you've come in the past couple years with your skills! It's good when we can measure our progress like that
@@TomHawkComposer definitely yeah! Looking back on it, this is probably a bit easier than the last mock-up I was attempting which was the Star Wars main title 😅😂
This VST is really insane. I personally prefer metropolis ark for more dramatic and powerful sound (dark souls like) but at this point this is moslty peronnal opinion. Nucleus seems to be way more versatile thks to the "round sounding instruments"
As a beginner, owner of both, nucleus is way more easy to use and to tweak, you can get a really strong piece of music in a matter of hours, as opposed to ark, in which i find more complicated to use, to find yourself in the sections and ensembles, you spend more time digging the exact sound you need, imo ;)
@@jules-etiennelepany8397 I could agree with that. I don't have nucleus but it seems really user friendly in the video. I got used for many years to use old synth VSTs with a LOT of buttons xD. Therefore the ergonomic aspect does not afraid me that much. I mostly searched for raw brass sound with very powerful basses. Ark gave me this instantly, So I took it but Nucleus is obviously not worse or better, just different.
Good Job Bro I like your remake and this Library and i whish to see tutorial or break down of this track ♥
MJR thank you! I’m in the middle of some projects right now but I do intend to create a tutorial video soon - is there anything specific you would like me to cover in the video?
@@TomHawkComposer If you can talk a little bit about the steps you took to do this Remake .. I am a beginner and I want to try this out in order to develop my skills in Orchestration and composing . Any tips will be so helpful to me .
@@mjr5741 The video is up on my channel now! I think I covered those topics as best as I could :)
This is the best than the original
This is so accurate that it got copyright claimed
Haha it sure did!
What reverbs did you use to glue this cue up sounds amazing
Nice one ! deconstruction video needed ;)
Since you manage to use Nucleus and get a wonderful result, what do you think are the weaknesses of the library ?
Plus, what effects did you used, and what settings, classic or modern mix ?
Many thanks,
Cheers!
Harald Vicaire thank you! I used the modern mix with the internal reverb turned off just so it’s the natural reverb of the room, and then added my own reverbs - VSS3 and Seventh Heaven. I can go into that in a bit more depth in a separate video.
The only other major processing I did what some basic EQ on tracks, but there honestly wasn’t a lot needed. The library sounds great out of the box.
In terms of weaknesses? Well, if you’re looking for detailed libraries for individual sections like strings, brass, etc. then it doesn’t do it to the level of really in depth string libraries. However, that’s NOT the purpose of the library it’s an all-in-one orchestral library, so I don’t think that really counts as a weakness.
Again, it’s not a dedicated library for an individual section so it won’t have as many round Robbins or dynamic layers, but again that’s not the purpose of the library. All of that is kept lower since it’s an all in one library and adding all those extra RRs or dynamic layers or articulations would bring the cost way up (and also the size of the library: which is a nice plus for beginners or travelling composers, it’s literally around 30GB for the entire thing).
It’s such a great all in one library, absolutely love it for what it is - and I still use it alongside dedicated section libraries :)
Hey there Harald! I don't know if you saw it, but I've got a video deconstruction video about this mockup on my channel now :) I think I answer pretty much all the questions you've listed above :)
Sounds great!
I just bought nucleus, and can't seem to have brass have a hard attack with continuous notes… How did you get around to do it? The Legato doesn't have a hard enough attack and the Staccato is of course not holding the notes. Thanks!
would be interested in that as well
Good question! I keyswitched between the legato articulation and the short notes, it works really well with the brass patches in Nucleus.
You can also hear that same keyswitching happening in my Dunes Of Gods track :)
I answered this in my "Behind the Mockup" video that I just uploaded, it's quite early on in the video - hope that helps you see how you can do the same with Nucleus :)
Hey Tom I’ve been thinking about nucleus and your cover sounds absolutely brilliant !
Right now Jaeger and nucleus are about the same price so would you still recommend nucleus ?
I’m making mostly orchestrated game music and I’m using east west right now but I want to upgrade :)
Hey Marc! Sorry for not seeing this sooner. Both of these are great sample libraries, and both have different uses. If you want more of the traditional orchestra with some lovely soloists and a choir, then Nucleus is great for that. If you want more of a hybrid, modern and detailed (more dynamic layers and RRs) then maybe Jaeger might be better. Either way, they're both excellent sample libraries :)
I picked nucleus because I don’t own the full version of Kontakt and so far it’s great :)
Marc Davis awesome! Glad you’re liking it :)
Would you recommend this library to someone looking to get their feet wet with orchestral scoring? i.e. user friendly.....if not what else would you recommend.......have mainly been a “real instrument” home recording artist
Hi there! Yes, 100%. This is an incredible library for any aspiring composer who is just starting out -- alternatively, Audio Imperia do also have Nucleus Lite which is a much smaller version of this library that still sounds good (I have a video overview of that on my channel now). Obviously, the full version of Nucleus is much more detailed with legatos and solo instruments, so see which one would work best for you :)
Awesome mock-up!! Any chance I could have the midi or logic file?👉👈😊
Hello, great music. What about Metropolis ark 1 ?
Omg bro that is sooooooooo Accurate 😳😳😳😳👀👀👀👀👀....
Is it possible to get only the MIDI please would be really help full
How many tracks in total did you end up with, and are they set up as a template or loaded in on a "need to" basis? :)
ShifuDaxiongmao I’m not sure about the total track count, let me check that out later and get back to you. And I did create a Nucleus template to speed up my workflow. It was pretty simple, just loaded up every individual patch and saved it as a Logic template :)
Okay so in total it was a little less than 50 tracks. Pause the video at 0:08 and you'll be able to see what/how many patches I used :)
I have a question…In my Piano roll in FL studio or Cubase the audio comes late from nucleus like i put proper quantization but still the audio comes late so i have to drag the midi note before the beat…what is the solution for this?
Hey, you need to set the negative track delay in your DAW (Cubase can do this for sure) to compensate for the sample start time in libraries like Nucleus. Check out this video that explain what sample start is and why it’s used (for better realism): th-cam.com/video/x8JY04DmbCY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IxqmTY-HyPmkO0Z7
What program are you using? DAW speaking
I'm using Logic Pro X here :)
Is this better than abbey roads one?
Assolutamente oki !! (;=))
can you do one for man of steel
Great! I just can't decide if I should get MA1+MA2 in a deal or Nucleus...
Adameus what kind of music do you want to create? And do you have any other sample libraries yet? :)
@@TomHawkComposer I own Albion One already. I like the depth and darkness of MA1 and MA2 and would not say no to the harp, piano, Cimbassi and childrens choir (as I like dark music but also some epic stuff. I also enjoy writing bright and emotional stuff but I would use Albion the most as it has a very wide dynamic range), but I also like the point of Nucleus: Nearly every instrument of an orchestra, also high woodwinds and the tuned percussion.
But in my opinion, the variety of articulations goes to the Metropolis series, which is also a plus point for MA.
I would also like to try writing trailer music or more epic music and covers of film scores (I'm a big fan of John Powell, James Newton- Howard, Danny Elfman and Erich Korngold, so here the Metropolis series would probably help me the most).
To conclude, I would love to have the "not so usual" but very interesting and beautiful instruments from Metropolis, but I would enjoy writing with all the various patches from Nucleus.
So right now, I'm more into the direction "waiting for a MA1+2 deal", because I would love the two different choir sections plus childrens choir and the harps and the horns and the Cimbassi and and and...
But I don't want to make the mistake that I think after a few weeks: "Maybe I should have bought Nucleus, because... "
So this is my inner conflict right now haha
... and as I'm just 14, I can't just go to work and earn enough money to buy libraries every two months... This will be an important decision😬
Adameus that’s completely understandable, amazing that you’re starting so early - I remember we spoke about this before, amazing that you’re staring so early!
And yes, that’s a big choice to make. You already have Albion One so you have some great sounds in there. I think you need to figure out what you want next, and see if Nucleus or MA1+MA2 will give you what you want.
They’re all excellent libraries. If you want beautiful solo instruments and individual sections (Eg. Violins and violas and not just “high Strings”) for more control then Nucleus might be better.
If you want children’s choir like you mentioned and the sound of MA1+MA2. It’s your choice.
Personally I’d go for Nucleus just because then you have some great solo instruments, some individual section patches and really nice orchestral percussion.
I’m saying that because you already have Albion One, so you already have ensemble patches and some things that are also covered in MA1 (the epic percussion in Albion One and MA1 are both great).
Again though, it completely depends on what you think you need the most in your next sample library. Think about it for a little longer and see what is missing in your current collection.
By the way, do you have the full version of Kontakt 5? If not, you can get a nice cheap crossgrade through owning a library like Albion One - and if you already have it then check out the Harp in the Kontakt 5 factory library. It’s actually made by VSL, pretty good Harp to say its standard in there, I still use it for some things now.
There’s also some other pretty good orchestral patches hidden in there :)
so a free kontakt player is able to load this without demo ?
That’s correct, Nucleus is compatible with the free Kontakt Player.
Can u tell me the strings and brass plugins or vst ? Pls
It's all from Audio Imperia's sample library Nucleus: The Orchestral Core (Full Edition). There's some more information in the video description.
@TomHawkComposer Thanks alot 🙏😊
@@KORDHEAVEN3443 you’re welcome! There’s also a behind the scenes video of how I made this mock-up & you’ll see how I used the sample library: th-cam.com/video/IzAl3OZXn6w/w-d-xo.html
the only thing i dont like about nucleus are the limited articulations of the instruments.
You can't just post the avengers' theme and expect people to believe it's your mockup
