Multi-Award-Winning Film Score Composer Hans Zimmer on Cubase | Steinberg Spotlights

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

Hans Zimmer is the multi-award winning head of the film music division at DreamWorks studios and one of the world’s best known film composers. In this Steinberg Spotlight video, he describes his custom-built studio and his long Cubase history, working on music for movies and embracing the best music software. Composers scoring for film are some of the last now supporting the creation of new orchestral music, so Hans invites you to celebrate Cubase and the way it helps the composer in the orchestral cinema score.

    Many orchestrators and copyists work in Hanz Zimmer's studio, but the pay is bad and they have to sign non-disclosure forms so that they cannot claim that they ever worked on those movies or scores. A very small percentage of those work their way up into doing scores themselves, but most get stuck there. At least that is the perspective of a film composer i talked to who worked her way into the business the other way: do smaller projects for free for 5-10 years.

    "you got to make up your mind" [@ 11:13] I remember when I was still trying out different DAWs. Back in 2008, Paul, the pro audio guy at a Guitar Center, said the same thing me. "You have been playing Ableton, Cubase, Reason, and now Pro Tools for three years. That is long enough. You got to make up your mind. Which one do you like?" Cubase was much less than it is today, but they brought us ASIO and VST. It was enough to make me chose it, and I have never looked back. Thanks Paul, and thank you Steinberg.

    Hey Hans. I used to work for Steinberg, (International Distributor Support) - possibly the best group of intelligent human beings I have ever met. I remember when we got the message on the internal mailing list that Mark Badger had died, suddenly in his sleep. BOOM. For a while I actually thought it was some kind of joke. I remember him exactly as you describe him - ornery curmudgeounly, argumentative, and alive - if only there were more people like him who fought for how they though the world should be and wouldn't let us take no for an answer. What a strange feeling after all these years to be reminded of this...

    I fully agree with what Hans says about taking the time to learn the software and be a dedicated musician. I've been tinkering with music production and mixing for almost 20 years and I used FL Studio for a long time. I recently switched to Studio One 5 Professional and the work flow seemed a lot different and slower, but I realised that music production is an art, and art takes time. A streamlined workflow is nice, but it's more important to have a vast array of options and understand how to achieve the sound you want in your DAW.

    That is a great testament to the orchestra Hans made. Technology has made it easy to forget about the orchestra. There is still, and always will be a human aspect to the feeling of the orchestra and how its is played. Maybe the part is aggressive and someone is having a bad day, and is a little more aggressive then usual that adds a subtle layer you can't get from the samples. Mistakes sometimes add a feel. A rush to tempo, going from fast to slow has an organic feel. Every time.

    Always great to listen to one of the great composers of our time. Thanks Hans. I would have to polite fully disagree with you about workflow, however. It's crucial to be able to capture inspiration with the least amount of hurdles. I just do not find Cubase to be simple enough to use in the creative process. I think it's telling that Hans had to commission someone to program a touch-sensitive screen to do routine DAW procedures. Not all of us have the budget to be able to hire programmers. And a DAW shouldn't make you have to hire a programmer either.

    Hans Zimmer's music compositions are amazing. You don't get the full scope on just how talented this guy is until you take a look at his body of work. He has composed music for over 150 films. His works include The Lion King, (for which he won the Academy Award for Best Original Score) The Pirates of the Caribbean series, Interstellar, Gladiator, Crimson Tide, Dunkirk, and The Dark Knight Trilogy. One of my all time favorites is the score he did for Inception. Absolutely brilliant!!
