Now I want a Heavyocity community Brief competition 😁 doesn't necessarily have to be a competition, but would be fun to score to picture and see all different versions among us!
Před 3 lety+3
Great episode! I love Neil's musical ellipse which is really powerful! Ari's theme works more like a huge jingle (in the very good sense of it), making the heroe's theme very strong. Can't wait for the next one(s)! And I really hope you'll throw some competitions out here for us Heavyocity lovers and users ;)
Liked both cues a lot, I found the way Neil used his guitar was brilliant and inspiring! It would be interesting to see what you’re running it through. Looking forward to the next one!
Hi Lefteris, Thank you so much! I was using a guitar tuned down a minor 3rd with the low "E" dropped another whole step 🤘🏼. I ran it into a Strymon distortion pedal, then straight in to my A/D. Then I used the first Amp Sim I could find to have it sound like it went through a cabinet. (Waves maybe?) Then did some post EQ'ing on it to get it to sit better in the mix. Hope that helps. - Thanks Neil
Nice job, Ari and Neil. Enjoyed both tracks. Looking forward to more episodes. As an aside, though, would love to see a video of each (Neil and Ari) explaining their gear and setups and what they see as essential to their process. I’m really curious what Ari put in his modular rig and the thought process behind it, as well as just wondering in general how each works, especially as both of you seem to split your time between “in the box” and what one might consider “outboard gear” (does a guitar qualify in that? LOL). Thanks to all of you for a new series that is entertaining, informative and inspirational!
One more thought... I am curious how much of each track was constructed from Heavyocity instruments and how much from other material. (And do these challenges lead to internal innovations? :-)) Cheers!
Thanks Jeff! I have a bunch of Metasonix/MakeNoise/Mutable, and have a pretty aggressive Eurorack rig set up. But a walkthrough sounds like a great idea! For this track, I wanted to push the analog synth side of things, so I spent quite a bit of time in the "outside-the-box" world. I have my analog synths set up as "external instruments" with Midi Device panels in Cubase, so I'm able to control them directly from my DAW. Then, I just supplemented that with the orchestral and percussion elements (loaded up from my template). - Ari
@@cyberwraith2k1 Thanks! Aside from the obvious guitar rhythms and the characters guitar harmonics "theme", I used my Moog sub 37 synth for the bass line and some sound design in the intro. The rest was Damage 2, Novo, Ascend all HY VI's - Neil
Well I’m now a new subscriber. Was fantastic to watch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Very insightful and inspirational. Looking forward to the next episode. I’ve just started sync licensing and have learnt a lot about myself and what I now know. I should of done this years ago. And then suddenly this video pops up and has excited me to learn about scoring to film.
Such a cool idea for a show. Thank you! I love hearing and seeing other composers’ processes. Ari, I absolutely loved how you used your vocals as a textural instrument. And even though I gravitated toward Ari’s cue more, Neil’s cue is the one stuck in my head 15 minutes later. Super eerie action cue!
Thanks Jonathan. I couldn't quite figure out what sound I wanted to counteract the heavy synths, and that just seemed to work well. It really brought the character to life for me. - Ari
For someone who is just starting to set foot in this arena of the music business I found this wonderful to watch both for the new information I picked up on how each composer worked but also to see some of the things that I already know how to do affirmed in their individual approaches. It also helps that all three of you come across as lovers of music and sound as well as nice guys. Consider me subscribed!
that"s a fantastic concept and congratulations for your epic composition. It's super cool and I waiting the next episode !! I learn so much with your channel. It will be great if the video can be load for make the exercise at home. thanks again Heavyocity. (from France)
Thanks Alexandre! That's a great idea! We licensed the footage, but we're working with the creators to see if we can work something out in the future - 🤞. We'd love to hear your take on it!
2 great takes! Plenty of ideas for me to steal and re-formulate. Neils quarter note triplets are a great way to mirror the change in action during the camera turnaround with out full blown tempo change. Also, Im really digging the happy sounding I VI IV... Ari hinted at but with half-step aurally shredding it. Nice juxtaposition in harmonies. Thanks to everyone.
Thanks Brian. That half-step contrast made all the difference in the progression. Separating it between the synth elements and orchestral elements really gave them their own space in the mix as well. - Ari
Wow! This is the first episode and its awesome! I'm use to scoring to a brief, visuals, script, storyboard, etc. and was glad to see this at the beginning. This really helps everyone experience the process of the brief. Hence, the series title! LOL Also, the scores for Neil and Ari are spectacular! Great work to both of you! Then the breakdown on WHY each composer scored it they way the did, was great to see. Thanks for showing the DAW screen shot (with the film) and then walking through in such great details about the instrument and melody choices. I'll definitely be tuning in for the next one and help spread the word! Also, Neil! What's up with the apple on the monitor? Then later you have another bottle. Is this the Easter egg in the first episode!? LOL
Love love love that you are doing this series along with the 2 hour cues series with Neil. Loved your reactions to each other s work too. That's a really cool aspect of this. Ari this reminded me of a track and it's going back aways.I was curious if you have concepts or stories running through your head when you're writing example tracks that go on SoundCloud as demonstrations for products that come out. In particular I love The Hallows from intimate textures and was wondering if there was any story in your mind behind that track?
Thanks Jacob. This was a blast to do! I always find it easier to write music if I can build a mental picture/story around either the character or sequence. It's funny that you meant The Hallows! I was reading a pretty dystopian future/sci-fi book at the time and remember building a story in my head that I wanted to write to. It was a scene of a small family in a log cabin huddled around the fireplace. At 0:30s in, the scene zooms out through the glass window to the outdoors, showing the cabin in the woods surrounded by a peaceful snow. At 0:35s, the family opens the door to enjoy the snowfall, and the view pivots to them looking up at the sky. At 0:50s, it zooms out to show that the cabin, the woods, and the family are all in a biosphere on a floating asteroid, part of a cluster of hundreds of similar ones. At 1:30, the camera perspective starts to show that this cluster is what remains of Earth, with humanity living in an entirely different way. I know, this is oddly specific, but it's fun listening to it again, and having the whole story come right back! Thanks for reminding me of this!! - Ari If anyone else is interested, you can listen to the track here: heavyocity.com/intimate-textures
@@Heavyocitymedia whoa 😳 Ari that is incredible and all of that storytelling in such a short period of time. You really are super talented with your ability to work in such short periods of time. And that is such a fascinating concept and is super similar to a dystopian sci fi thriller/drama I am writing. Like listening to the track and hearing your story idea gives me chills it's good. I would run it by you if want got a contact email? 😉75%kidding hit me up a jjobryan117@gmail.com
This is awesome! Thank you. I learned so much, especially about story telling and music. I'm fairly new to scoring and didn't realize you really need to express the music next to the scene.
Brilliant idea keep going plz 👊🏻 both nailed it perfectly 👍🏻 just i would love the original footage to have some sound design elements like sound effects of cars and swooshes etcss it will be perfect. Very excited to see whats next Thank you guys
I love this, and want to echo what some others have said, it would be a great resource for hobbyists/beginners/people trying to break into scoring to have these clips to score to.
Totally! We licensed the footage for this episode, and we're going to try to work with the creators to see if we can work something out for you all - 🤞. Because we would LOVE to hear what everyone comes up with as well!
So that was fantastic as expected. QQ? How long +/- would you guesstimate you spent on the cues? From initial spotting to final mix. Thanks for doing to this series!
@@Heavyocitymedia We are the ones that should be thankful. Now we have this video with two fantastic professionals opening up their thoughts and showing us their ways to interpret and composing a scene. Abs it was good! Thanks you!!!
This is my point of view the sound are to overloaded with Heavy drums that does not fit just a motorcycle chase but the intro at the beginning was great
Guys! What is the best template setup that is more RAM friendly?! ... On Cubase, I compared the "Separate Instrument Tracks vs. Multiple Kontakt Instances" and I found the latter saves only 2% of RAM. Love Ari's Cubase template but does it really save RAM?!
Thanks Ahmad. I have a second computer running VEPro for my orchestral sounds. In VE, I have multiple Kontakt instances for each instrument type. This makes it easy for me to route audio and mix/eq each section. I prefer this workflow, since it keeps things a bit isolated, and I can easily mix the sections of the orchestra. I also split my hybrid presets up by type (ie arp/ostinato, bass, pads, leads) as their own Kontakts. I try to keep the instruments that I consider "staples" to my template in VEPro, where I will rarely change the presets. Things that I would change more often or load different instruments, I try to keep in the Cubase Session itself. This also helps to load balance the cpu overhead (not just in VE, and not just in Cubase). Hope this helps! - Ari
@@Heavyocitymedia Wonderful Ari! I don't have the luxury yet to use VEPro but I am planning to buy a dedicated DELL Xeon server for it up to 256GB RAM. However, I am still getting my feet wet in cinematic music and I don't wanna add complexity to my setup at the moment. I am just touching the water to see if it's cold or warm before I jump in and I take everything slowly until I get comfortable upgrading to more expensive gear. My current setup really helps me to produce tens of tracks with no issues. The only issue is my workflow which still bugging me. I have a template where each instrument track is its own Kontakt track. I am thinking to switch to multiple Kontakt instances with audio outs to midi tracks. I am currently running on 32GB and I am a happy composer who keeps learning. Thanks for your input :)
I’m wondering if there is a plan to offer the unscored video for us to download to “work along” with the composers? It would be great to actually make attempts to recreate what they are suggesting, not just watching their workflow (helpful as that is!). I’m sure that if you also offer a discount for any specific Heavyocity VST that the composer is using that viewers would be encouraged to purchase. Thanks again for creating The Brief!
Sorry about the no reply! We licensed the footage for this episode, and we've been trying to work with the creators to see if we can work something out for you all - 🤞. We DEFINITELY want to hear your takes!
@@Heavyocitymedia Thanks for the hopeful reply! As others have said, it is hard for composers to find suitable unscored clips to practice with, and perfectly understandable with licensed footage. 😁
Thanks for watching everyone! We have a FANTASTIC guest composer lined up for episode 2, so be sure to Subscribe >> bit.ly/3myDspP
This might be the best video series for film composers. Thank you for doing this, you both nailed it.
I'm so hyped for episode 2 !
Thanks so much Nirshad! Glad you enjoyed, and we are just as excited for episode 2!! - Ari
Good grief I love the brief! I think we need more 8bit game music though. : )
Thank you! And 🤣!

Really cool ideas. I liked both versions very much. Very creative and caused nice different kind of emotions. Thanks for sharing.
Of course! Thanks for watching!
Great work Guys and interesting series. I preferred the Ari's version and great name you have btw.
Thank you Ari!
Heavyocity, you always put the exciting ideas first🤟👍❤️ Heavyocity, You ROCK
Thank you! So glad you liked it!
Thank you guys for this, it is an amazing resource for film composers.
Awesome! So happy to hear that!
the vocal part is super effective! 8:41
Thanks so much! when in doubt, just sing the part.... and then drown it in reverb to hide the fact that you aren't a singer. :-) - Ari
Liked both cues a lot, I found the way Neil used his guitar was brilliant and inspiring! It would be interesting to see what you’re running it through.
Looking forward to the next one!
Hi Lefteris, Thank you so much! I was using a guitar tuned down a minor 3rd with the low "E" dropped another whole step 🤘🏼. I ran it into a Strymon distortion pedal, then straight in to my A/D. Then I used the first Amp Sim I could find to have it sound like it went through a cabinet. (Waves maybe?) Then did some post EQ'ing on it to get it to sit better in the mix. Hope that helps. - Thanks Neil
@@Heavyocitymedia thank you for the reply Neil!
Amazing!!! Please do a lot more of these
Will do! Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you Heavyocity - the quality of your videos is only matched by the caliber of your instruments. :)
This was a great first episode. Can't wait to see more. Great brief scores by Ari and Neil.
Thank you! We're excited to bring MANY more of these!
I'm already addicted to this series....keep em coming!
Thank you! We will!
Chills on both tracks! Good job!
Awesome video Heavyocity!.... can't wait for the second one! I'm definitely going to try out the old "bottle of Olive oil on the monitor" trick
Works every time! Thank you!
Man, this was great! Loved both cues and the completely different approaches. Keep em coming!
Will do!
I loooove both of the cues! Excellent work! And I'm loving the new venture! Hope you guys keep the episodes coming, it's such a fresh idea
We will! Really exciting guest composer coming on for episode 2!
Ok, hardly ever giving comments but this was just really great! Thanks very much Heavyocity!
Thank you!
Awesome first episode! Looking forward to lots more!!
Appreciate it!
you guys! this was so ridiculously inspiring and interesting to watch. this is why i love Heavyocity!
Thanks! So glad you liked it!
Very nice, *Ari Winters* and *Neil Goldberg* !
Thank you!
This was as awesome as I'd hoped it was going to be. Can't wait for the next one
Thank you!
LOVE this, gents. What an incredibly cool idea for a series. Fantastic to have two composers with the same brief. Looking forward to more!
Thank you! More on the way!
That's real cool stuff. I can't wait to see episode 2!!!
Thank you! We can't either!

So that was fantastic as expected. QQ? How long +/- would you guesstimate you spent on the cues? From initial spotting to final mix. Thanks for doing to this series!
Thanks Michael! A rough guess would be 2 days (interrupted with other work throughout the day).
Very good. Just an idea for another series, but it would be cool if there were some videos more geared to beginers that only used Heavyocity software.

so dope
