Thanks, I feel like this video would have been much better at a more relaxed pace where you can actually explain everything you are doing withot being in such a hurry. I had to stop the video several times indeed to check what you had just said, or go back to see again what you were doing at the speed of light. Perhaps a 15 or 20 minutes version would have been perfect. I know attention spans are low lately, but I guess we can all spend 15-20 min to watch such good content.

If you actually play it with 0.75 speed, It sounds so natural. It's creepy.

The violins’ run in 4:20 is actually quite an easy figure to play on a real string instrument - so no worries, and the “if it sounds good, it is good” philosophy is totally legitimate! 🙂🎻

So, you still can sell your music even if it can't be played by a real orchestra? I thought that's the main requirement for your music if you're doing it commercially.

​@@cazer194 In a lot of cases what you're selling is just the audio file, not music sheets. Big movies will still have the music recorded by a live orchestra, in which case you should be more aware of what is and what is not possible to do on real instruments.

The hardcore followers of this channel might have a deja-vu with this tutorial. The reason for it is that I already made an analysis of this track last year. However, I decided to make a shorter version of it. I'm thinking of doing that for other tracks I made in the past as well to make the channel easier to browse and digest. What do you think of this new format?

Like it 👍🏻 maybe find a happy medium between longer and shorter tutorials. The length worked for this one but id happily watch a 15 min tutorial aswell as your hour long ones! Either way thanks time and time again for these tutorials. Slowly going from amateur hobbyist to slightly less amateur hobbyist lol. Currently working on a film score for a movie im making this spring hopefully I can incorporate things from your tutorials into my tracks!

I also think i like shorter videos now because my level is way different than when I started following your channel .. one and half year ago when I started following your channel and other channels my level of knowledge was so limited so I enjoyed longer tutorials ( if i saw short tutorials then i would not have understood any thing ) , now as I know way more , I enjoy the snappy videos as I get it much quicker ( and I owe you a lot for that ).. so I guess short or long videos will cater to different segments of your viewers ... so one way to think of your videos is as an instructor who have different class levels .. may be in the play lists you can group your videos according to how advanced is the viewer.

I would just like to add my grain of salt to this community and state the difference between Adaptation, Orchestration, and Arrangement, which I think the term "orchestration" is used freely and frequently without much thought in what it really implies. Adaptation: Is taking the original idea, and passing it to the orchestra as loyal as it can be to the original composer´s intention, no doublings, no extra lines or counter-melodies, no change of key, etc... (like most of the work Hollywood Orchestrators do in the business today!). Orchestration: Is when you actually "translate" the piano nuances to the orchestra, for example, very fast arpeggios easily played on the piano would not work exactly in the same way in the orchestra in the strings, or the pedal of the piano will have to be "emulated" by sustained notes in the orchestra passed by several instruments, well balanced and in the same timbre. You might change the "key" of the piece to another one to be better suited for the character and register of the instruments of the piece. Doublings, fillers and slight extra lines might be permissible if the music and the character of the written score call for it (very important to be able to read a score and notation to understand what the composer wanted in terms of character and dynamics, which is written in the score, like a "piano", "mezzo-forte", "espressivo", "dolente", all this will AFFECT the shape, colour and instrument choice of the orchestration!). Arrangement: Is when you take most of the original composer material, but you re-arrange it, add melodies that did not exist before, counter-melodies, re-harmonizations, voicings, intros, transitions, development. Like a lot of today´s arrangements of live video game music or film concerts. (I really recommend you guys search for the work of Jonne Valtonen, he is in my opinion, one of today´s most impressive/creative/talented orchestral arrangers for Video Games!). The most important thing to take from this is, there are NO shortcuts or CHEATS for this, a GOOD adaptation, orchestration or arrangement is very hard to do, takes decades or more to be able to be good at this, takes a LOT of study, musical intuition and knowledge (which is gained by listening to a lot of music, learning a lot, reading a lot and playing a lot!). Every single piece of music is different, not all the same voicings and instruments can be used the same way every time, it´s very important to understand the music first, the character and the overall story of the piece as well as the technical pros and cons of every single instrument of the orchestra! Being able to read, write and do copying is not an option for an arranger or orchestrator, it´s called being professional, you have to do a fully orchestrated written score, parts, proofread and print all the music ready to be placed on the musicians stands to be played or recorded since you cant send the orchestra or conductor a midi file... This does not mean I am a really good arranger or orchestrator in any way, or saying Alex isn´t (loved his version of Sonic), I´m just sharing what I´ve learned and experienced in the professional world! Hope it helped anyone! :)

Smart guy

Quick thing, many of the runs you refer to as "arpeggios" but they are not. An arpeggio outlines the members of a chord, (root, 3rd, 5th etc.), and you have created step-wise runs, or scalar runs. Excellent video regardless, you clearly know what you're doing.

Love this, quick and straight to the point. Keep up the great work Alex! 👌🏼

Violinist here, I would say the run at 4:19 isn’t impossible, difficult like you said, definitely not sight readable. Doable, yes.

There is a lot to be learnt from this Sonic track you made, I have seen it in numerous tutorials and it is the only Composing from Scratch I've seen from begging to end. For anyone interested, I really encourage you to become a Patreon supporter and see it for yourself. For me, it really taught me to experiment. And experimenting during composition and orchestration has to be one of the most important aspects of production as it makes your track stand out way more.
