I like how Alex's video's are generic enough to be useful even for people who use completely different DAWs and libraries, ty Alex.

"It's not as good as my other tracks" - was it a joke?

[mrbeemee]

Hello there! Thanks alot for your videos. I feel like I have found a goldmine. I have made alot of electronic dance music and hip hop tracks in Fl Studio but I love classical music and I want to compose myself. I have already started composing and your videos are very helpful! Keep up the good work!

I'm a bass player and singer in a Symphonic Metal band, but I play a bit of keyboards and your videos are helping a lot to improve my composition skills and orchestration

[attaleacornell]

The lesson I got from this video doesn't just apply for music production and composition. This is why I love watching it so much, even though I don't compose orchestral music.

[mreis]

This is so cool. I didn't know people made orchestral music using a DAW. I would love to learn this!

[artfxdnb]

Never saw your channel before, but you earned another sub!
Loving this, will be watching a bunch.

Gracias Alex. No te das una idea de lo bien que le hacés a estos pequeños principiantes, como yo, que estamos intentando hacernos un camino, evitando la frustración (tanto como se pueda). Nosotros somos simples alumnos de primer año, entrando a un mundo desconocido, recién bajados del tren.. y vos te aparecés con tu farol, gigante, cual Hagrid, diciendo: "los de primer año, conmigo!", y ahí es cuando nos sentimos tranquilos y seguros, porque sabemos que escuchar tales experiencias es el verdadero camino hacia una vida exitosa. Esto vale para cualquier ámbito de la vida, no sólo para la música.

Thank you.

You know....I'm extremely jealous of you and your very being and what you are doing and what inspire you are literally what I dreamed of doing since I was young.



I start making random songs since 8 but asian parents being asian parents, composing is for the poor and they go against it every way possible and even delete all my files and my works.



And to be frank....you are honestly really good, and it pisses me off

I'll just eat up my pride and just watch you you and learn your stuff....-_-

[Tazer_BLACC]

BRROOO you know whats crazy!? I actually came here from your ArtMasters course haha. I'm broke at the moment so I couldn't buy it so I looked up Orchestral Music courses and I see you! haha thats crazy thanks for the help fam! Really looking to level up in the new year! 💫💫

[sebakl]

i cant believe i just found your channel gonna binge your videos

[BrewskaySA]

DUDE, THIS IS F***ING
I am so glad I found you channel and this is great educational content Shout out to YOU!!!

[hugeturnip]

i discovered your channel last year but lost motivation because i couldnt afford the libraries. But now I've found a free orchestral vst pack (sonatina symphonic orchestra if anyone else wants to try) and this video makes me want to try again, thanks so much

[Iuventius]

I started watching your videos recently. They're very helpful. Thank you for taking your time to make these!

[jamesrossmusic]

I like what you said that the best way to develop your skills is to create your own mock up of existing symphonic works. Copy them to the best of your ability using your own instruments samples and processing and mixing tools in your on DAW!!!!

[cgmuzic]

Wise words. May you please in the future do a video on the tricks you use to smoothen your workflow i.e. ways to avoid wasting time when composing.
