How To: Cinematic Music like Hans Zimmer in 30 Minutes! - FL Studio 20 Tutorial

In this video I am going to show you how to make epic cinematic piece like Hans Zimmer for example or any other orchestral/movie soundtrack composer.We are going to be using FL Studio 20 along with Kontakt (using the Nucleus Lite library).

I love orchestral music, it's very distinct from other genres, and it's very flexible, it can portray pretty much any emotion or feeling through things like instrument selection and arrangement, and even through small details like volume or vibrato automation as you did, or even pitch automation, panning, ect of each instrument. I think you should finish this one either on a cut down video or on a full process video in the future, it has a lot of potential!

I just started watching your videos and they are so informative and entertaining! I'm also just starting with FL Studio, and watching you create this in 30 minutes is inspiring man. Thank you for what you do and keep it up!

And yes I mostly mention Hans Zimmer for reference since people can get an idea of what type of cinematic music I am creating. But I mostly tried to make any cinematic music :) It can apply to Hans Zimmer but also other orchestral music artists! I think in the "drop" the vibe could be compared to the Pirates Of The Caribbean theme song... of course a way more dulled out version but I only had 30 minutes :D

@Arcade - about the 'Delay' you mention for the strings at 5:46 and 19:27 you can set the track latency in the mixer to allow for this delay (latency) I hope this helps. Great videos by the way, keep them coming! thankyou

Gostei muito, deu pra sentir a emoção por trás de cada nota, parabéns!

[josephjebarajs]

Sounds epic and great even if it is written within small duration of time... But not the flavor of zimmer...but really good work...

[josiahsimmons]

You know, for someone who knew almost nothing about the instruments, let alone orchestral writing, this was fairly impressive! I wonder what you could have come up with if you spent a couple of days watching videos about this style then tried your hand at it!

Omg this is my first time watching how FL Studio works and i just love it! Thank you!

Arcade is now producing tracks for dark souls

[Emergentministry]

I been binge watching your stuff for a while now, so I figured it is a good time to sub. I love the tutorials (especially the vocal ones)

22:08 The clever idea in the last second :) the satisfaction look on your face lol

[thejetparadox]

Love how u put Hans Zimmer on the thumbnail. Ma man

[AndrewYac]

I think that someone needs to do an action movie about the SARS-CoV-19 (coronavirus) and use the song that you made on the video, it would be cool


PD: a trick that I would do so the violín sound more épic is to overlap the notes and put some more reverb, and maybe do a little automation of tremolo and vibrato to make it more natural, but just a little bit

1:47 I'm so glad you didn't say I'm feeling this D

[igorwaldl]

"That sounds interesting... but not great" :) :) Yep. Great tutorial!

[emperor_putenskiy]

My fav movie composer is John Williams! Cinematic music is cool

[LexRemlap]

This was very informative, I recently acquired a free vst from BBC Discovery, and didn't know where to even start... There was a lot to learn from this little bit.

Also calling out that using automation on a third party plug in. You've changed my life for the better lol

[vedantchimmalgi]

germany gave us beethoven and zimmer!!!!
i couldnt ask more
love from india

[gphillimo]

Man i want that as the background to a rap beat. I would murder that song 🔥🔥🔥

[gregblastfpv]

Maybe make a little series on this track? Where you make it a full length track and add everything you would with proper time available.
