Haha, why? Because of my review or because the download takes so long?

This isn't Friktion, this uses "Intimate Strings LITE" from Embertone mostly (it is free). It is a really good realistic string library, especially since it is free!

Exactly! Just goes to show AI cannot yet "listen" and use context in the same way humans can.

@@dekoningtan definitely. My guess is that "mysterious" somehow gets tied to Asian sounds using their algorithm, which likely reflects the biases of whomever they had tagging music.

Indeed very likely ​@@KnightedDawn

@@danidandans hmmm, well if you are doing drums I imagine you'd have to draw pretty specific notes in specific octaves to get it to trigger the note. But, if you want to make beats, Kong or Redrum are best for that. Combo it with Beatmap and you won't need to plug in your Midi controller yet 😊

@@dekoningtan thanks so much! I'll give those a try!

@@danidandans Hope you have a wonderful time with em!

Yup, Reason all the way!

This song's instruments also sound a bit different since I used CoProducer, which generated some of the instruments, I then turned these into playable samples. I have a whole video on how I did it if you're interested 😁

Appreciate you saying that! Thanks for listening 😊

Thank you!

@@jcmusc good thinking! If I'd had a way to cut my plank in half I definitely would have done it.

@@dekoningtan such a pain in the ass I just put on the biggest blade my table saw could hold at maximum extension. Cut it down the middle flip it over cut it down the middle again and the board fell apart. I wouldn't recommend it but if you don't have a bandsaw there's ways around it.

@@SorooshMhs thanks a bunch! I feel like this video rarely gets appreciated, so happy to hear you liked it 😁

Many thanks for your retroactivr comment, haha😂

Yea! I tried to stay close to the original but make it all a bit fuller / bigger than the tracker could do (old tech limitations, haha).

Yay! Glad you were able to find this video and hoped you enjoyed this music too :)

@@dekoningtan man, that music was something. I remember playing it in 90s with frineds. Such a good times.

@@OldNerdPlayingOldPCGames seriously this game rocks. I played it with my kids the other day and they loved it too.

@@dekoningtan Wow, glad to heart that youngers like it too. I wanted to make playthrough against cpu, but I was soo horrible, I couldn't beat them like I did in the past 😆

Thanks!

Thanks! I hope many people will find it useful.

Thank you! I appreciate it!

Glad it could be of help!

Thankee kindly sir!

First of all, glad you found it. Second question... let me look into this and I'll report back to you. For myself, I've usually stuck with Velocity and Expression and done other mixing inside the VST itself-- I agree SINE Player isn't the most... intuitive in working with Reason! I'll have a look and tell you if I have the same issue.

Yes, I've found the same thing. I can control Expression, Velocity... And I can assign some few MIDI CC controls, but hooking it up to a Combinator, for example isn't possible. I wonder if it would be good to write to Orchestral Tools about it?

That’s the next step I thought of… Since I feel like home in it, I don’t want to work in another DAW than Reason for orchestral stuffs, but I’d sometimes like to be able to automate some more things in OT libraries… Not a dealbreaker, though. By the way, your videos of sampling in NNXT are great! And thank you so much for your time!

@@pako4791 I get what you mean, I have Reaper as well and have heard good things about Bitwig, but I still prefer Reason's more visual layout and find it a powerful DAW, so why switch? Haha! Happy to help! Hey, if we both email them, maybe they can give some insight :)

I mean, that would be amazing, but I'm not sure who to contact to make that happen :)

I hope it slowly still brings about subscribers though ;) Even though the metrics aren't everything-- it does feel good to know some people are watching!

If you do, let me know and I'll add that version of the CMB / NNXT to the Kofi shop!

Thank you very much! It definitely went way deeper than I thought it would when I began making the video 😂

Indeed, I may go for a simpler build next time, haha! Without Bluebear I would've never made it through :)

Thank you! I was quite pleased with how it turned out :)

Glad you like it and I hope it sees lots of good use in your studio sessions 😊

Aw thanks! I think getting the tone is hard. What strings did you use?

@@dekoningtan today? I use the Corethreads from a parachute Cord. Earlier i try it with Horsehair ...

@@ironwhistlesArt you could try cello or Viola strings, but don't skimp on quality ones it can be expensive. The type of string can really help with the tone 😊

@@dekoningtan i will try it! Thanks for the Tipp .... :)

Thanks! We wanted to use our own vocals rather than repitched samples, but I do agree those Teardrop og vocals are killer❤

Thank you! I hope it is useful for you😁 do share if you make something using it and release it😊

@@dekoningtan Reason Studios should hire you! And of couse when I make something I will shaith you. And I intend to donate for these awesome sounds.

@@tokyotrap2579 that'd be lovely if they did haha! I may one day submit Refills for the reason store, who knows😁

That's what I was going for ❤

Thank you! I'm quite happy with how it turned out. Now for the Decent Sampler version 😁

@@dekoningtan haven't got decent sampler, mainly as I have sampler needs covered, but maybe I should look at it again

@@ConstantLittleGhost you should, a host of sampled instruments will open up to you!

Seriously have gotten ridiculously good use out of that dremel!

Red Oak is super tough wood, I can understand it must've taken a while! But as a hard wood it'll last a while, so years later you'll be happy you did it :)

You're welcome!

Thanks! It does indeed take quite a bit of patience, hahaha.

That was a simplified version of the Shire theme from the Lord of the Rings 🤣 but yea, you can definitely make a flute! Bass ones are a little more difficult to make if it is your first one, but still really fun to learn.

It would be epic!

Right? That's what I thought too. This and small royalties for voices used of singers who opted into AI.

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment and say that😊 really appreciate it!

Thank you!

I've never seen that film, but will have to listen to the soundtrack now 😁 thanks for letting me know!

I've been really impressed with their consistency and quality! I hope LABS makes a strong comeback!

@@dekoningtan I share both sentiments!

Thank you!

Thank you for watching! Things definitely seem to have slowed down (especially LABS), but the company does still exist, Henson just stepped down from leadership there.

CH left Spitfire last year and started up Crow Hill. Spitfire is still going strong but they have definitely been quiet in the last 6 months.

Thank you!

Thank you! I actually have composed and hope to be composing more for video games 😊

Thank you!
