@@doublet6118 Indeed! =) And Ruby marks the milestone for the first film to center on a cecealia/cilophyte! =D

The soundtrack is very good, my top favourite songs are: 1. Mimi Webb - This Moment. Genre: Rock Pop/Pop 2. Rita Ora - Prasing You. Genre: House 3. Freya Ridings - Rise. Genre: Indie Pop 4. The Linda Lindas - Growing Up. Genre: Spanish Rock

The record scratch is actually a tape stop but I'm a lot older so remember what each sounds like so will let her off for that 😉 Was a fantastic film with a really great score so nice to see this breakdown.

Cool! Love the dreamy vibes here. And wow - I'm impressed with how well-produced this video is and with how effortlessly articulate Stephanie is presenting it!

Awesome! I learned a lot about Dream-Pop and guitars in hybrid orchestras. Especially the part "Ruby dives in the water". 🙂

Gracias Stephanie por hacer la banda sonora 💙🐙🩵

My team got to work with Dreamworks for the pre-release campaign. The people from the studio and behind the film made this one of the most memorable projects I’ve had the pleasure of being a part of. The score was incredibly well made to accompany the drastic shifts in emotion and energy; “modern vs tradition”

I'm just starting my journey with game and hopefully film scoring, it's something I've always had a love for, and after creating some intro music for a game last year I've discovered that this is my absolute love when it comes to music. Videos like this are invaluable, great work!!.. and even better to see an artist scoring the whole thing from a personal studio. Just amazing

Fantastic video. Thanks to Stephanie for a great insight into her process.

Thanks for watching!

This is amazing! We need more composers giving insight and helpful education for free! We already have Junkie XL doing that for us, so to have yet another composer teach us the ways of film scoring is absolutely wonderful! I, myself, want to be a composer, so stuff like this brings a whole bunch of inspiration and encouragement. Thank you for making this!

I really love the textures of this score. Amazing sound scapes. ❤

Superb insight! I do lots of exotic instruments including fiddles mandolin, banjos Balalaika bouzouki octave mandolin, fretted and fretless bass as well as regular guitars. I’d love to collaborate with somebody doing scores like you and John. I have my own Recording studio here in Montana. F-Hole Studios. I learned so much watching your video. Thank you so much. Also, I just love the whole Spitfire world.

This is awesome! Love these types of videos. It is always great to see how other composers work and think.

These are dope! Thank you!

Very cool & informative video. I wish stuff like this was around when I was in college studying music. Also I didn’t know there was a “kraken language” invented for the score very cool!

Awesome!

Great one 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼😊😊😊 thank you so much for sharing your experience ❤️ happy new year 🎇🎆

Awesome guest! First saw her in a collaboration with Emily Hopkins, too. Super dope choice to use dream and indie pop as an inspirational foundation for this score. This was legit inspiring to me 👍🏽

I do have one question regarding cubase... There's a lot of channels in a project like this, do you render out the stems once your happy with them to optimise everything? Some of my bigger projects can struggle in areas where there's a lot of intensive instruments and plugins being used, but I'm always in fear of printing the channels just in case I need to go back and change something, I've noticed here all your stems are audio files. Is it just a case of biting the bullet and saying what will be will be?

Hiya! You’re looking at my final synthmaster sequence, so I’m mainly bouncing to audio only when I’m prepping it for the mix/orch recordings. That’s why it looks relatively neat and tidy. While I’m writing, programming, and curating sounds, I’m almost exclusively working with instruments and MIDI, unless I want more finite control over a sound, then I might print to audio and effect from there. If things become a hog, I will often just print to audio and commit, knowing I can always go back and make tweaks to the MIDI and re-bounce. I often find that taking that leap to commit to an idea can be quite liberating as it’s a self-imposed creative boundary. Hope that helps!

@@StephEconomou perfect, thank you!! Liberating is definitely something I need to start adopting and stop being so caught up in fear of committing. I also grabbed a couple of baby audio plugins after watching this, definitely useful tools 🙏🏻

Man, this was so good to watch, very useful and inspiring. Will be keeping an eye out for more Stephanie Economou scores in the future. I love the tips and tricks that make a big movie soundtracks sparkle. Well done everyone involved.

T’s always great to see these behind-the-scenes stuff. I’m wondering how much of the mock-up work actually made it to the final mix, as compared to what you recorded at Abbey Road.

@StephEconomou

All of it! The final Abbey Road recording is blended with the mocked up orchestral parts in the mix (unless it’s an exposed solo, like clarinet or horn).

Amazing Video, and wow such talent. I have one Christmas request :) could you share the exact sound you used for the Warm Bass Gong that underpinned the strings during the section you explained. You did mention the use of Spitfire libraries of which I also have a ton of, but that bass was awesome so if you could tell me where it comes from I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks for the video and happy Christmas.

Unfortunately, it’s an old custom patch that isn’t available for purchase, I’m sorry! I do find that if you slightly soften the attack (or add an LPF) and increase the release to any deep, round, synth bass patch, you can create something similar. Hope that helps!
