The other night I was researching a library and I came across one of your tracks. Good stuff!

[BionicSisters]

Learned a lot! Thanks for the clarity, explanations, options and detail.

[DrProps-nphf]

Always with proper knowledge. I take my time before i even try to turn anything in. But people/producers like you have helped in so many ways. I have even thanked you before. Thanks once again. Im here supporting and learning at the same time.

[edwardadzima]

OK! Thank you very much. Any help that you can come up with is much appreciated!

Hi, why we just don't bounce the stems and other mixes in stereo, but arm them?

[stevepitkanen]

HI Marlon, wouldn't you have to remix everytime you were giving a reduced version (ie. removing instruments)? For example, taking out the percussion might make other instruments that used to be hiding in the background pop out too much. Or, if your flutes maxed out at -15dB in your Full Mix, might you want to boost them up in a flutes-only stereo file? Thanks.

I use bandlab to download stems which is easy, but it won't allow for the full length of the main track. For ex. I have a drum track, with 10 seconds before, and the stem plays for 35 seconds. I get the 10 seconds before but it won't give me the silence of 90 seconds to the end.

Hey Marlon great track. A lot of dynamics in there and when the rock part kicks in epic bro! I got a question for ya: Is that all of the mix and master that you do before submitting? You don't put your track through a mastering software or third party application software like landr etc..? I know most DAWS have light mastering is that all we need for submissions? Again thanks for the content. Always a wealth of knowledge from your channel.

Hey Marlon, I have a question about music cues. Do they need to be the EXACT length, or can they be slightly longer or shorter than 15, 30, or 60 seconds?

Great video Marlon! As a newbie (and fellow Canuck) to this industry I am finding your info soooo informative. One thing, as I have not sent anything to any libraries yet, is can you suggest a platform to share and get feedback on my songs. Just thought I'd ask. Keep up the good work, eh!

[boriscoleman]

Thanks Marlon for another great video! I’m going to incorporate some of your “Housekeeping” methods within my own DAW. Great track btw I’m not an orchestral producer myself but I’m definitely not opposed to the richness and fullness of Orchestral Trailer compositions.

Also I have a question The book on music libraries you mentioned in your previous video....is available on Kindle Reader or another platform what program do you use to read the book.

Again Great video Thanks!
