I’m loving your peaceful ocean intros. They are making me miss Australia (my motherland, I live in Colorado). Please keep doing them.

Excellent Tips here have gained a lot of insight in DAW Orchestra arranging

The reason I like this channel and you as a content provider and/or teacher, is the to the point ACCURATE detail. I've been recording audio for more than 35 years. And I hear terms being used interchangeably and a lot of times incorrectly. It works if everyone on the project understands the RE-interpretation and use of those terms. Where it becomes an issue is when you come across an old head like me, who knows the original use of each term and coupled with the fact that I'm a scientist (which means I'm a pain in the ass when it comes to details and accuracy), makes for a cringe session every time I hear it. Like when people say deers, irregardless or my fav, "I could care less". Oh really? then why don't you care less if you could?
Am I being a But dammit I'm right.

Thank god for Austin Wintory mentioning your channel in his latest video. It really is a goldmine. So glad I found it! :)

This is a great level of videos. Not the same basics anymore, but top level information. Thank you.

[JPDC]

This video is an UNBELIEVABLE wealth of info. I've watched a few of your videos. You are so knowledgeable at a young age vs many composers, I'd believe that you started MIDI Orchestration 12 years before you were born. I don't understand how you don't have more subscribers. You WILL. Your explanations are so clear and helpful. Amazing.

Thanks for these sort of videos - lot of things you give us here for free is what I`m missing in many paid courses that are out there...

If some French people read my comment, can you please help me to translate those words in French : cue, stem, dub stage ? Thanks !

[maudonnet]

Hi Anne- Kathrin, viele Gruesse von deinem ehemaligen Grundschulklassenkameraden und Nachbarn Jan Fehrmann. Wow klasse Channel und weiterhin viel Erfolg!

[MusicalWizardryMarcoIannello]

Another great video, Anne-KAthrin, thank you for making it! A question about loop stems for games: in the video, one can see a session with some tracks having what I believe is the reverb tail, for not making the loop sound broken at the edges, is that correct?

[kylewaselewski]

Say you're on a project with a lower budget that doesn't allow for hiring a score mixer, do you just bypass the mixing stems process and bounce the stems with the reverb out of the original session? Thanks for all the information!
