How To Write A Complete Trailer Track Using Percussion Swarm

In this video, Christian shows us how he composed the music for our latest release trailer, solely using our new library, Percussion Swarm.

We need a spitfire audio Discord!!!! please, it would help the universal standpoint for the blank page.

Two things I noticed about this video. The first thing was I didn't realise you could actually write a piece of music using just this library and second, the music you did write with it was pretty amazing showing how you can manipulate the library itself. Very impressive library to be honest.

I just can't get myself off the video once I commenced watching. AMAZING!

Excellent video, but it does raise some questions. Christian, you very briefly touched on the spectrum of percussion libraries the Spitfire offers. You, as a seasoned pro, will obviously know instinctively which libraries to use to achieve a given aesthetic, but for those of us earlier on our journey, it's difficult to know when comparing the product pages and demos. Some videos comparing libraries (similar to Oliver's 'Guide To Spitfire String Libraries') could be very helpful. As another example, maybe a comparison of Union Chapel Organ and Symphonic Organ? Or a Joey Santiago's guitars vs Leo Abrahams' Ambient Guitars? Thanks 👍

I feel like this library has been created only for that track it sounds so god damn good

[TimShoebridge]

Bloody amazing result. Definitely a lesson in a Less is More!

Great work on this library. It sounds so clear and wide. Hope some of it will end up in LABS.

This just makes me think of Christian and Sandy's Modular Monday 'theme' tune in the world of Avatar. Seems like a great 'world' library that doesn't sound too specific and still very western.

Good work, junior..
I question whether you used this library

[tacobrugma]

Great! Only you forgot to re-enable the mastering plugins...

[TaffmanGuyo]

So Trailer Music isn't just for static caravans? Always learning! ;-)

[smokezz]

Great video mate. I think it would better if you showed how you compose video from scratch, i know it's difficult, but it would be easier to see where and why you used particular instrument.

Wonder how Spitfire decides whether to use Kontakt or their plugin?

[cornerliston]

Christian, why do you choose to use Kontakt for some libraries and your own software/engine for others. Size of library? Strategic importance? Technical differences?

[ToastandJam]

Very interesting. I always learn something watching your videos. Just one question, Christian: if you were to sit on your hands, would you still be able to talk?

Are you quoting your “Modular Mondays” theme yet again? 😂👍
