“Scoring With FREE Stuff Full Walkthrough”

The last video I posted was the finished score video. This one is a full session walkthrough of all the free resources I used to create this score start to finish!

I also created a free resource pack with the session files, STEM, linked resource guide to all the free stuff, and more! Head to my Instagram post for that bonus!

“Music for all”

I was curious if I could produce a professional sounding score mockup using only FREE software (DAW, effects plugins, instrument libraries, etc…all freeware). I was really surprised at the results I achieved!

The moral of this story…the ability to express and craft music should be , and IS, readily available to all! There is absolutely a reason for professionals to have elaborate setups of expensive gear and software. However, as this experiment has proven to me, experience and knowledge can go so much farther than having expensive stuff.

I do have some expensive stuff, and I use the pricey high-end professional gear and software. But I also have the experience and knowledge to use it to it’s fullest advantages. So if I can compose and produce a score like this one with ONLY free stuff…imagine what I can do with the pro gear…

I’m Brian, and I make noise so you can tell your stories!

“Using Reverb Wrong…On Purpose”

A look at how using a tool like reverb in a way it’s not intended to be used can help support the story, and bridge two VERY different styles of motifs. From a project where I experimented with the idea of composing and producing a professional sounding original score using ONLY tools offered for FREE by the developers. The DAW, the plugins, the virtual instruments, the sample packs, even the video capture and video editing software was FREE! I surprised myself with the results! The project video is on my YouTube channel and I’ll have a full session walkthrough available soon. Like and subscribe to stay in touch for updates! Cheers all!
