I'M BACK!!
We actually literally just moved into a new apartment yesterday and I'm sitting in my new office surrounded by boxes and I can't WAIT to start some really cool stuff in here (stay tuned for that)!
This was a long time coming, I know, but I try to explain at least a little bit of why in the beginning. Hopefully this is a good VLOG to come back to after a couple months but now that everything is where it needs to be they'll come more often.
Basically my method of writing music is to pick a speed, jam to that to get an idea of where I'd like to go... then rinse and repeat the jamming over with the other instruments. The further you get along the song the easier it becomes.
The only thing I didn't mention, because of time restrictions (10 min maximum on YouTube), was that there are a few points in the song where I wanted it to sound more serious and another where I needed a break. There's no difference in the method for those parts: just break up your song into mini-queues and take each one accordingly.
... and don't worry, you'll get to see the animatic with the sound fx, dialog, AND music in the VLOG where I do the animation (=
CAN'T WAIT!! Thanks for the support everyone and leave some love below, it energizes me to keep doing these!
What a great video! (And even though it's not a tutorial, it's highly and hugely and biggly educational). I truly love how generous you are with information.
I'm going to consider it obligatory watching for any musician I know who might be - um ... inclined to give up a soundtrack. (Maybe I'll animate one of their tunes in return. :))
loving it man... woot woot
i really got to try and JUMP back on. :D Must do it!
Amazing vlog and brilliant musical ending. Such a great tune, could listen all day
"Remember this shirt? Its yesterday!" :D
"OK, I've calmed down now..." lol
Steve, if some well-meaning doctor ever offers you Ritalyn, you tell him "NO!"
Brilliant stuff, man.
glad to see your back, i love your V logs, your mulit- talented, and its very motivating to watch your process, cause i do agree life gets in the way at time but we got to get back on that passion train to get the job done! GREAT JOB, STEVE!!
I really loved seeing how you make your soundtracks, especially how you put all the tracks together with sonar! Would love to see another Vlog on music next time you make an animation soundtrack, especially if it's something more orchestral!
Awesome vlog man! Great to see you back on the saddle!
This video has inspired me...to complete my projects the same as you, with patience, and gained knowledge. Your words at the end of the video really did motivate me.
Soon, Ill complete all my stuff....and you will realize that you have created A MONSTER, THAT WILL DESTROY YOU STEVEN! MUH HA HA AHA.
Nah Im jokin...I think you realize know...that Im crazy..(head down in shame).
But really good video, very informative,
you are witty and cool! :) Keep it up! Yay! :D - Twitter follower ;)
Nice post mate! Great insite into how you just have to 'feel your way through' the whole musical process. It's very inspiring for others to see for themselves how others approach things. I may even do it myself someday?! Anyway, keep up the good work! :D
Last comment was Lee by the way hehe. Don't quite get the name options :/
