David, wow! The full sound of your orchestration, the organic feel of the chord changes and rhythm, the room mix. This is crazy beautiful!
Thanks so much!
Outstanding. Thank you for sharing, Sir David.
Well done, David! This track would feel right at home in one of the big Disney / Marvel franchises…
Thank you Manuel! Coming to the Spider-man franchise someday. 😉
Hehe... I definitely wouldn't mind...
(Actually, I'm currently envisioning a scene, many years in the future, where I'm sitting at some kind of social gathering, with people raising their eyebrows slightly, because I just said something like: "Yeah, that David Kudell guy... I already knew him even way before he scored 'Spider-guy far away from the multiverse'.... Well, not personally, but I used to comment on his TH-cam videos.") 😉
Speechless .. nice work. A level for me to aim for !!!
Thanks a lot 😊
MASSIVE!
Sounds great! Memorable theme and a great mix
Thanks for this walkthrough, David. Beautiful track! I've been humming it since ARK 5 came out.
Very impressive library as well. Bravo, Orchestral Tools!
Wow, that's a lovely piece, so unique. Great demo David.
Thanks Bill!
This is awesome
One thing thats is alway evident in library demos is how the dynamics are always stacked at the loudest through out. Even when quieter passages are playing the dyanmic sample played still sound fff only just with the volume down.
As a brass player i always like to hear how libraries sound at p, mp and f. As that is where orchestras play at most of the time. Even in bombastic sections we rarely play at the very loud as you always have to leave something in the can in case the conductor needs it. Even in brass ensambles ive played in your not at that overloud pushed playing style for a whole piece.
I get it that the loudness wars have now got their grips firmly into sample libraries but for realism and great sounding libraries they need to sound great and real at P, MP MF and F. A great library demo will shine when the dynamics are used properly.
Fantastic piece David ❤️
Thank you!
Really amazing!❤👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for sharing. This is one of the best orchestral tutorials I've seen.
wow!
Nice as usual. There's this passage that reminds me strongly one of the famous songs by YANNY - the biggest mustache in music- ! LOL.. The percussion sounds tremendous! congrats. Wait a minute: Enchilada! hahaha
Beautiful orchestration! Amazing work!
Thank you very much!
Incredible
Thank you very much!
brilliant work david! nailed it!
Cool track! You explained your decisions very well, sounds like a great library!
Love it!!
Daaamnn. Thanks for this
Great piece David
Wow, sounds awesome! I really enjoyed listening to your composition. Thank you for sharing this 🙂
Thank you very much!
you are most welcome! 🙂
The library sounds beautiful. But I’m more interested in your midi programing. Where can I go to actually learn how to program midi?
Awesome demo! That was a fun theme. :)
Is it good for a first library? Thanks
Amazing
Thank you!
I love this piece. Can you tell me do any of the ark products have any solo violins and cellos. If not could you recommend a library that would fit with the arc? What is the difference between the 2 & 5? For subtle emotional drama 2 or 5?
Sounds amazing!! Is SINE a free player?
Yes it is!
This is an extraordinary music production using Metropolis Ark 5. AMAZING!!!! Congratulations!
What DAW are you using in this music production?
What keyboard brand are you using in this music production?
I appreciate your reply.
I am new in this field.
Thanks!!!!
Thanks! My DAW is Cubase Pro 11. The keyboard is a Roland digital piano, although I wouldn’t really recommend it as it’s weighted too heavy for my taste.
@@DavidKudellMusic Thank you so much David for this information. This is truly helpful to me. Thanks again!!!!
Happy New Year in advance!!!!
@@DavidKudellMusic hi David what keyboard would you recommend? I’ve been looking actually.
What a great track and breakdown, thanks!
where did you get that keyboard and mouse stand ?
It’s called Fellowes Tilt 'N Slide Pro
Hi David. Great work. I have 2 questions. How long did it take to put this track together from concept to final touches?
I am about to buy the whole collection and the only question which comes up all the time is how to achieve separation between section in the traditional way of orchestral setup? For example high strings are traditionally sitting on the left however in here they put 6 on the left 6 on the right basses left and right and celli in the middle or there was a patch where the deli was on the left. If I just write for strings would you just pan them or they just blend well together without getting muddy? Of course I am aware of how to create separation via different timbre articulation etc but I thought I ask cause looks like You worked this out already. Your work sounds great.
Cheers
Hi Atilla, on this one it was about 3 full days from blank daw to final mix. The writing time varies based on how fast the ideas come to me. Tracks like this I find are a little harder than writing to picture because there’s a blank slate. That’s why I invented a story as a guide to write to.
As for your second question, I never really think about the panning, and it somehow works out. All the Orchestral Tools libraries are recorded in the same Teldex stage so the sound is very consistent and I find it’s the perfect size of stage so the room sound is not too big or small, it’s just right. The more you use their libraries you really start to identify the Teldex sound. In my writing for scores I often blend the Ark libraries with my other libraries and they blend just fine.
@@DavidKudellMusic Hi David thank you for your answer. Would you share the cubase project midi programming with me because I would love to study your orchestration and how you programmed the library would be a magnificent learning curve for me. Cheers
Amazing!! Well done!!
Great work on this David. This is an epic track.
Thank you!
very nice work. well done, David
Great work David!
This track is sooo good. Well done. This is the overview that makes me want to purchase.
Amazing track David, that low brass motif at 0:56 is so awesome!
Nice demo! Great composition
Stunning composition and the quality of sound brilliant Best wishes Dave from UK England 👍
Thanks David: it is indeed very useful!
The compositions is excellent
First of all.. many thx for ur Video. But pls pls tell me your studio desk i want to buy exactly the same!!! 🙏🙌
Thanks! It’s actually just an office desk from iKea.
It’s about 10 years old now. Nothing too fancy but it’s large and I like to have my monitors close. 😛
@@DavidKudellMusic from Ikea 0.o ?! Wow ok many thx for ur Answere!
It gives me Final Fantasy 7 Remake vibes. Which is a good thing.
This is reallly awesome David!! One question, how large is your RAM?
Just that little bit out of price range at the moment but this definitely one for the future what a great track brilliant introduction
Thanks so much Dave, sounds fantastic! :-) Happy Holidays!
interesting, but nothing really new. Seem useful for ready-to-use short effects, like on this short exemples on the video. at this level of price, one have to be sure to need this short effects. but they are nice.
This peice slaps
Kinda sounds like a dark version of the ant man theme
Damn, this release came a bit too late for me. I've already invested my saved money on black friday in another library...😭😆
