This was quite a journey to sit through. Inspired me to fix up my own low brass instrument racks

Finally caught up with the stream, these things are always a masterclass and a condensed education. Thanks, Steven!

Beautiful

I hate that I can't make it in real-time, but I always love coming to watch the replays. For the type of music that I'm writing right now, I get so much out of watching you go through the process of creating your work! I hope to be able to save up money in time to join VGM so I could get into the nitty-gritty and really grow as a composer! Sending my appreciation from the land of the rising sun!

Thats pretty sick man.

I’ve always heard it described as the “flat six major seven” but this approach makes a lot of sense as well.

I'd like to think he adapted the 7 one based of the Advent Children's Piano version since the tempo is a bit faster, which is cool

Recommended to me in 2024 and I love it like a chocobo loves gysahl greens 💛

There is also Loopback. It works so easy and is very user friendly.

Awesome!

Hi Steven, really great vid. So cool to see your inner thoughts and reasoning behind decisions but mainly it's cool to see your creative flow, especially with articulation. I was wondering how you are changing the articulations via drawing in new midi 'notes'. Is it a feature of the DAW you're using or of the plugin? I'm using East West Sound Libraries and would love to figure something similar out to get a more realistic feel Thanks so much for all the amazing content! Genuinely informative and inspiring

The huge thing about cold messaging is that it's an incredibly common tactic by scammers, so if you cold message someone offering your services, they're going to assume it's a scam 90% of the time.

Here it is, 4 years later, and Steven's video is still the best! I had earlier played around with the Reastream plugin in my DAW (Cakewalk) and OBS, but couldn't get it to work. So I watched Steven's video, followed all the steps, and it works! (Note: JBridge still costs $17. But after you order it, a notice popped up saying that getting a download link is not automatic. I would receive an email with a download link within 24 hours. And, I did receive an email within about 12 hours.) Thank you, Steven!

Love it. Immediately subbed.

wish I could catch these as they happen, but I love coming to these videos to see how the process goes!

Hey Steven, would you advise for or against including game references in the titles for the free music I'll release to generate leads? For example listing a Synth heavy retro style track as 'Free Metroid Fusion Style Game Music' or a viola and piano heavy piece as 'Free 2D metroidvania game music in the style of Hollow Knight' Not sure if its better as it narrows down on the specificity of the style or if it automatically deters some game developers as they might not want that specific sound? Thanks! Love all your content

I wish the choir weren't so far away. I would definitely audition! :D

Bro

I want to be a kid again .

Really inspiring composition! Just a question, rescoring is not an issue in terms of copyrighting? Thanks in advance

SALSA COOKIES !!!!

FFVII's battle track has always been the weakest. It's even weaker here when it's time for 7's song and it just sounds like a barely recognizable transition from 6 to 8.

Why am I still here 10 years later XD

Massively respect where you're coming from choosing a specific genre as this probably does describe a lot of the more successful VGM composers. One problem with pinning yourself to one genre is you've got to consider what the genre is and how flooded the market is for it. If you're doing synthwave for example, there's so much competition in that genre that you're really going to struggle. I don't necessarily thinks its a binary choice between being a master of one or an unspecialised generalist either. It's perfectly possibly to become extremely good at a few genres with how good online music tutorial videos are, and with how good the existing plug-ins are for creating different styles of music too. You might surprise yourself with the quality of your work dipping outside of your preferred genre aswell. If If I'd stuck with my original genre (techno) without being open minded about composing classical music, I'd have not ended up on my first game. In 2024, I think maybe the industry has changed for the worse and it's probably worth cutting your teeth on tiny one person project indie games and if they can't afford to pay you, atleast owning the rights to the music so you can profit off it independently. Just some thoughts shooting from the hip, massive respect on the video too and best wishes :)

This video was insanely helpful

or step negative one

You can tell the age of people that say pre 7 is their fav vs the ones that are 7 and up 😆

Im sorry.. but this deserve proabably another 500k more likes AT LEAST!!

Hi sir pardon me i have a questions. I m video game and film composer. My great interest is impressionist and ambient music. Also classical and jazzy orchestra too. But i dont know which company /platform or other could buy my works. I m iranian and i just have trust walket and payeer . Is there any way to sell and earn without paypal??as nft???is selling musics as nft efficient too?sorry again for these questions.🎉🎉

I was just about to say your piano sounds like Chrono Trigger & u brought it up!

super clean mang

Hey Steven! I work on a music pack for quite a some time. Do you think it's a good idea to upload tracks from it on RUclips before full pack release, to gain attention and have some content on socials while I work on a big thing? Or should this music be exclusive to asset stores, at least before I release it there?

There's just something so different about the Oracle games, a nostalgia that hits harder than most other old Zeldas. Don't know if it's the 8-bit gameboy graphics or the fact the games are so packed with content in combination with the games promo art that since has gone forgotten in Zelda; the games hit like a fever dream that only echoes. I didn't play the games as a kid, yet when I was playing them I still got nostalgia from my childhood anyway.

Step 1: have and audience

Why not just use the SNES VSTs?

Honestly sounds more like the SM64 Ending.

Maybe it's just me, but I honestly find this to sound kinda medieval fantasy-esque in a lot of ways, it gives me that vibe, especially with the melody. The main melody literally makes me imagine a knight on horseback cutting down orcs

Do you have a course to learn how to do it? I am a disabled audio engineer student so we dont get music theory but I was able to access to the music pro courses that has it so I have to go through that but I want to make music too for everything as I hope to heal over time.

wow this is a cool library, Eduardo is one of the best, they have made a lot of stuff for other companies too i have heard. I would like to get the 2 libraries they made called Forest Kingdom 3 and Shevannai some day. They both sound good as this does as well.

Love these vids you are talented, but your mic needs a bit of eq it sounds very muffled compared to the music…I know the sm7 needs alot of gain but not sure if that’s the problem! Thanks!

very nice, perhaps a bit too whimsical for fighting gameplay tho. would work great for cuscenes or any other part of the game like walking around exploring and climbing and stuff. If this had like an intense version maybe it crossfade into during combat would be perfect. hope you are open to comments like these. i play a ton of games and learning game development too. Composition is awesome though i must say.

awesome. will be helpful

FFVII's "Those Who Fight" is arguably THE BEST battle music in the history of video games.

Can someone add the link to his first live composing for this game? Can’t seem to find it on his channel

Thats so cool

Maybe you are mentioning it in your stream somewhere, but what felt piano are you using ?=)

This is insanely good! Traveler's ballad and memories of war.. omg
