When you record another bit of the video and wanted to correctly say "a raised 4th" at 03:24 .. but say it wrong again and don't notice it.

I love your fluid approach to chords and voicings. I found myself to be a prisoner of my own ideas. If I "set" a chord one way, I'd rarely stray away from it. Seeing you just effortlessly switch voices to make chords sound more interesting made me smile, and realize how some subconscious, bad habits can lead to slower and more frustrating composing session. Thanks for this rather obvious eye opener.

The first thing I like about this tuto is that it is short!! Now time to listen...and learn!

[oskarlinderoth]

really awesome! Would love a series/course with you on string arrangement/composition and practical music theory 👌

I just discovered your channel recently and I'm finding lots of "goodies" here. Yes, I definitely found this video helpful -- you explained your process very well. Pls continue with more of these "how to" sessions!

Regarding Performance Samples Vista, I think the library sounds great (I was not aware of them). Unfortunately, I'm not in a position at present to drop $340 on it, but perhaps I can catch a Black Friday sale.

Very helpful. Love the shorter vids, straight to the point!

[studioonetutorials]

Very nice voicings! Sounds great with Vista.

[cjp]

Yes, I have never seen this concept before. This is an interesting approach I am going to have to try. I’d like to understand it a little more. Thank you for planting a new seed in my head.

Great video as always Alex! Thank you!

[chuckify]

Very Good, thank you your video helped me 🙂

This is delving into orchestration for strings right? How each string instrument/chord voice is placed and where, and the mood/flavor it creates. Sorry, don't mean to get too technical! I've been trying to figure out why my strings sound too thin or far away in the background, and after seeing how you do your strings, it dawned on me that maybe it's because I have my violins I, II, and violas separated from each other by an octave, whereas your strings the notes are 'tighter' together and all within the same octave (for I, II, and viola). The way I did mine might be good for some songs at some points, but I need my strings to cut through the mix more, like yours?

May I ask about a video about Trailer Arpeggio Synth Production?
For example you could show us what synths and patches you are using, and how you process them.
I am personally creating trailer synths with Serum but they always tend to be very "bright and saw wavish" and unpleasant for the ears.
Should I use some analog VST Synths to get better, fatter and rounder overall synth sound?

Thank you very much for the tips and your professionalism Alex!

Great content as aslways, Alex. I like these stop by step tutorials. But I'm curious: Did you purposely not mentions the "name of the game", i.e. chord voicing/voice leading. Or am I wrong here?

WOW Orchestral tools hat ein Reverb? Wo bekomm ich das denn her? Finde es bei denen nicht.
