"Work to a rythm, not to a click.." Man, as a drummer, I should tattoo that on my heart! Love it

I actually usually set up the time sig with 4/8 so that I can 8th note clicks. Makes it seem more energetic and generally results in more groovy tracks :-)

Daniel, your videos are super inspiring and give me the nudge I need even when feeling a little "less than" today. You come up with gold all the time with your voicing and musical choices and do it with confidence and ease. Thanks for this post!

Seeing you compose is a therapy for my depression after my GF cheated on me last December with a douchebag. I am a composer too. Happy new year to you and your wife Daniel. Much love

Been there man, just focus on the thing and people in life that mean something to you and forever keep moving forward. We've got your back :)

Loved it a lot. Thanks for sharing

Your caméra is top !!!🤘 Happy New year !!!

Thank you for all this Daniel ...

really beautiful

A great stream and stuff again from Mr James.

I agree 100% - VISTA has the "x" factor - Vaughan Williamsy sound

When I purchased Vista Performance Samples asks "Where did you hear of this product?" I said "Daniel James." Thank you for your great videos!

Loved the library! And the new camera is very sexy...

Love what you do YOU TO FAST but that's a plus for these days for composers

11:15-11:27 I found that human & dog conversation to be absolutely hilarious. Anyways, fantastic use of the library. I found its sound to be beautiful.

Hi Daniel, love your videos! Was wondering, are you running everything through reverb / other effects in this video? Thanks so much!

Drives me insane that it's legato only...unfortunately I can't go down this path again...LOL Con Moto is so good and wanting more drove me insane.

This is nice stuff.

This is an incredible library for sure. Love it. I do experience that bump you mention Daniel and it is worked out with mod wheel. Let us know if they plan to fix it. I doubt it. Do they release fixes ever?

New camera setup is great!

Vista or imperial areia , I’m itching to by some strings, but can’t pull the trigger. What do you think, Love your work

Hi! Please, what piano vst do you use in this video ? Thanks you !

Hi Daniel, cutting events at Bar one for events is not a Cubase bug. You can extend the focus range for events. Go to main Menu: Cubase -> Settings -> MIDI -> Change the Section „ Extend playback range for notes that start before the part“ from 0:00 to 120 Ticks and save it. Then you will pick up every event 16th notes before the first Bar starts.

I wasn't referring to the note cutoffs at bar 1. Cubase has a bug where sometimes (particularly when using delay offset) a note that plays on beat 1 will get stuck as a held note for some reason (as if sustain pedal is held down) It only happens when starting notes on beat 1 and only to certain instruments. Havn't nailed down what causes it, but if I get stuck notes at bar1, its usually that.

Thank you for this inspirational live composition video! Your sketch proves that Vista is a fantastic choice for elevating, uplifting passages. The demos on my channel aim for the library's capacity to convey passionate drama. As an experiment, I've scored a piece twice, first using CSS and then Vista to directly compare them in a composition. Both definitely have their strengths. - By the way, your impression of the Ethera singer cracked me up!

The 'Ralph' in Ralph Vaughan Williams is pronounced 'Rafe' btw

Daniel, do you like 8Dio's stuff? I've found their strings to be very playable and fast in terms of legato.

Which camera do you use? The image looks so nice!

Instruments? They only have one... Does sound pretty nice though. A great-sounding full assortment of solo instruments is SoundMagic's CHINA IMPRESSION, uses modeling instead of just samples so you can adjust legato and vibrato in ways not possible with sample libraries (though I had an unpleasant time downloading it and figuring it out, English is obviously NOT their first language). That flexibility is pretty helpful for writing convincing lines on erhu and other stringed instruments in particular, and allows you to do a perfect mockup of the music you'd typically hear in a Chinese restaurant... But for the big ensemble / orchestral sound, Strezov Sampling and Orchestral Tools both are better options.

I can't find anything on that one, and as I said, the video player links on their website don't actually do anything, it's like they're just links to images, not video.

@@DJLA - Haha, totally. I was being a bit facetious. I'm not in the market to make my own videos yet, but your lighting and mood is exactly what I would want for my own. ;)

That sucking before every note drives me nuts. It's really a shame because the tone is some of the best I've heard but the actual sampling, or the programming is so sub par. It kills me to see a library like vista that has such an amazing tone yet be so unusable.

How do i purchase this track? what is it called?

I would give 99% of my body to have 1% of your talent Daniel....fucking move over Brian Tyler!!!

Fuck me Daniel...I'm aghast at your composing skills, think I'll stop making music and watch you, the professional, how's it's done properly.
