Hi guys, Olexandr here once again and I want to share some techniques that I used to create a completely new inspiring/happy/upbeat music track from scratch! (no starting presets, just brutal transparency with all the pain involved :grin:ā€¦and yes it has damn muted guitars!:joy:)

As usual, I video recorded a whole process of composing:

  • My screen recording (stunning beautiful 5K resolution screen and 4K quality for you to enjoy!)
  • Actually me entering all music notes from my Kurzweil PC361 keyboard.

Itā€™s 2:07:06 HOUR of content on composing, recording, deleting, mixing, mastering, etc.

And here is how it sounds mixed and mastered:

So hereā€™s an actual tutorial video. Hope everybody enjoy! :slight_smile:

Looking forward to it, Olexandr. Iā€™ve watched a few of your other videos recently and enjoyed them. I use a different DAW (Sonar x3) but have picked up a few good ideas from your workflow.

Keep up the good work.

Ha, ha, you did it! Thank you for that, I love it! :grinning: Beautiful tune @OlexandrIgnatov! Itā€™s a lot to learn and to watch. :thumbsup: Can you please share which palm muted you using here and which delay on it? I can see every single instrument you load but canā€™t see which piano - which sound great, clear and transparent - and palm muted? Iā€™ve noticed you changed a tempo to 125 bpm but you didnā€™t change delay setting on palm muted guitarā€¦
Impressive skills and fast workflow.
All the best!

Hey @MusicMode thank for watching!

The muted guitars are coming from Firebird Muted guitar VST (or something like that, itā€™s free and was made by AudioJungle author)
Delay is StudioOne stock ping pong delay I guess (1/8D of course :smiley:)

Firebird is great. Developed by Fencidat and available via the thread below.

Itā€™s got me thinking of doing my own low tech version recording 8 palm muted notes in a scale (root to root) with 2 variations of each, either up and down attack or 2 fret positions, then adding them as cells in Battery to see how that works.
