trailer music

Hey, anyone knows what is going on here? During the last climax I can hear very high strings and guitar, 1 or 2 Horn Lines and Bass/Low Brass. Am I missing something or is this enough to create a huge and epic sound? Similar in these tracks: Only bass and 1 or 2 Horn Lines. Maybe 1...

Hi everyone! I'm currently doing my Bachelor's in Audio Production and Engineering. We now have a project where we need to "pretend" or try to work in a field for two semesters. For this project, we have been asked to interview a professional in the field we've chosen. I chose working with...

Hi everyone! I've recently composed a trailer music track and I was wondering whether anyone here would be kind enough to give me some feedback. Even if you only have time to make one or two very short points I would really appreciate it! I've reached the stage of composing where I'm finding it...

Hello, I was wondering what libraries you all can recommend for those short string staccatos/spiccatos that we often have in epic trailer music. I have the CSS library but am not really able to get that desired sound out of those.

Two wild (but true) things I've experienced in the trailer music industry: I once saw a major game project offer a total of $350,000 for a :30 - :60 song for their trailer. I once earned a total of $100,000+ for playing a few seconds of plucked notes. Who I Am I've been a composer in the US...

As in the title I need a Sample Pack or Library with Ship, Fog, Air, Ethnic and other Horn Sounds for Sound Design. I'm familiar with Maleventum 1 and 2. A great collection of Samples. Are there more Collections like this that also Include Sustained Tonal Sounds. I don't want the samples to be...

Here's a little different approach to 2 awesome Heavyocity libraries. For some reasons most people consider their libraries as phrased based or just another collection of pads and drones but that's not true at all. They are playable very much so, and can be used to create original compositions...

Not had a chance to write anything in a while so while I had a bit of down time I thought "okay, try to come up with something within the next 2 hours" and came out with this. Figured that despite the fact I complain about this "epic" sound and how it's overused I should try it at least once.

Hi guys! Man, I just love Stranger Things. So many parts of it remind me of my childhood in the '80s, growing up playing D&D (Dungeons & Demons, the Swedish version) with my friends and hanging out with the older teenagers who introduced me to the great music and movies of that decade. After...

Ping sounds are a great musical device to give a track a consistent element. They are also great to connect multiple segments in a track. But how do I create this kind of sounds ? I don't wanna use synths. They just have a narrow and static (symthetic) sound to it. I would prefer to use organic...

I'm very excited to share my new release "Going Down (Feat. Nilka)" with you guys and please let me know what you think! I combined dark and vibey retrofuturistic synths with a dystopian mangled orchestra. Powerful and haunting vocals by a talent "Nilka". You can find stream links and the...

Hello fellow composers! I just released my new album When We Were Heroes. Please have a listen if you feel like it. Bandcamp: Spotify: It’s also available on iTunes, Apple Music, and many other digital stores. It’s not a pure trailer album. I remixed, remastered, and reconstructed some...

It was finished 5 years ago, but better late than never to get it out into the world. This is definitely the most eclectic of my three cinematic music albums and was a lot of fun to work on. Hope you find something on it to enjoy! https://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/tylerkoontz/forgotten-horizons

Hey VI peeps! Here's my not so serious "walkthrough" of my track, "Pardon My French" made with the new AVA - Eminence library::emoji_joy: Enjoy !:emoji_bow:

What Libraries do blend well with the tonal comour of Cinebrass ? Cinematic Studio String seems a bit to warm. Cine Strings might be an option since it was developed by the same company as CineBrass.

Trailer Box is based on reimagined sound design with unnatural feeling created using noise and organics sources. It makes a unique atmosphere — the sounds are not too hybrid or too synthy. The second part of Trailer Box is modern electric guitars — perfect for big and dynamic scores. Mix your...

Hi everyone, I bought Ark 1+4 during the NI Sale because I've always had an interest in trailer/epic music, but I've never actually made any of it before. I've been taking the Trailer Music course on Evenant and here is a work in progress hybrid track I'm making for the course assignment. I...

Hey friends! In today's video, my good friend and student Shaheen allowed me to upload an excerpt of one of our composition/production lessons onto the channel! You'll see specifically how my approach to writing a countermelody works against a lead line, and hopefully it gives you some ideas for...

Do you use more of the close microphones for trailer/epic/hybrid music or more of the wide room mics ?

I'm talking about Cinematic and Trailer Music. Synthetic Basses work well in combination with Basses and Cello in Octaves. Low Brass Patches always mud up my mix. Do you have any tipps on how to orchestrate the low end of a track ? And how do you handle the following chords. I'm talking about...

Working on my "trailer chops" - tried to put together a bit more heroic and epic layering at the end. Still a bit hard to figure out the mixing related troubles when it comes to this kind of stuff.

Hi everyone, these days I dedicated myself to the production of a song inspired by a TV series (The InBetween), developing both a trailer / teaser music and a theme. The idea is to produce an entire album (immediately after the deserved vacation :-D) of music suitable for TV Series to propose...

For those here who write trailer music (mainly the hybrid style), how often do you use trumpets? I am just asking as I would like to know how big of a place they have in trailer music, as I dont hear them much in this genre...French horns, low brass instruments sure, but trumpets not so much...

This library came out around 2013 iirc, but does it still hold up well with its effects (risers, transitions, hits, etc.) ? Do you also find the electronic drums to be useful? I was considering picking it up to use as a sort of all in one sfx suite for cinematic sfx (risers, booms, whooshes...

Is there anything out there like Heavyocity's Gravity that is a nice all-in-one bundle of sfx with a big amount of tweakabilty? For making stuff like pads, pulses, hits, whooshes, risers, downers, soundscapes, etc. I like that Gravity has it all in one place with an awesome GUI. I also am not...

I was testing out some new production techniques and wrote this simple trailer track in the process. I really, really like how thick Trailer Brass sounds when used like a guitar pad, almost. These brass players don't need to breath so let it rip! Haha Anyways, I think the track turned out...

It's time for another scoring challenge! We are inviting you to show off your composing skills for a shot to win some awesome prizes! All you need to do is download the trailer here. Then use any tools you like to replace the music and sound fx with your own original score. Get as creative as...

I want to ask some of the pros here or advanced composers, what do you think of this small piece I composed. I know its really difficult to judge a piece of music composed by orchestral instruments since its very subjective. specially when accounting how deep and diverse the psychological...

Hi Everyone, Wondering what you think the trends for trailer music are right now and possible predictions for the near future? Lately I hear a lot cinematic style covers and single piano notes in the beginning of trailers. Any thoughts?

Hi Everyone, What are the popular synths people are using to create sound design elements from scratch for Hybrid Trailer music? Thanks! Jimmy

Hello everyone, Recently I rescored the trailer of the maze runner movie as an assignment to the Facebook group film scoring practice. I decided to create a video to show my approach which is based on three steps 1 - Adjust tempo track to fit with the video 2 - Analyse the video and divide it...

Nothing to see here.

Happy New Year everybody. Right then, I’ve got a question that could likely be filed under ‘quite obvious’, but it’s slowed down my process. It’s about hits in trailer music, but wait, not the big ones that are normally a puzzle, I’m good with those big spectrum filling impacts et al. No, what...

We recently had the chance to talk with German composer and producer Dirk Ehlert (trailer music for The Hunger Games, Destiny 2, Assassin's Creed Unity) on the creation of his first solo album ELEMENTS, published by Dos Brains, L.A. In the course of the interview, Dirk was kind enough to...

Hi, i wrote this track with another composer (FloMediaMusic) and we would like your opinion, please. The video was made with free footage found on the wide world of web… so, some of it is not necessarily of the highest quality, however we just intended to find a better visual background so you...

Hello all, I'm currently taking an Evenant course on trailer music writing and am working on a track. I'd be grateful if you could share your trailer music writing expertise with me. What I have so far are the first two parts of a trailer track -- the intro and the build. This one has a...

I say yes. I don't care how good or bad you are. You are never going to get to a higher level if you never take the risk. You have to get courageous and get to work. That is how Rock & Roll, Hip Hop, EDM, etc evolved. Just do the work and forget about if you sound bad. If you sound bad, put...

Hi I've started writing for trailer music purposes. I always have had mixed and mastered my own music (outside the real of orchestral music), but for this sole purpose, I believe the tracks must live up to an standard, quality wise, in order to be accepted. Therefore, I don't want to risk it...

Hi guys, new video of me taking Endless Smile for a test drive and trying out it's uses for trailer music.

I have hard time finding a good engineer to mix and master some of my trailer tracks that i wrote. Most of them are combination of midi and live instruments. Do you have any recommendations? Thank You In Advanced!

Hello guys. Here's a new track I've made this week, called "Time Of War". My goal is to make a track like this (and hopefully better) in a day, this took me a couple of days since I'm still trying to get Cubase under my fingers after moving from Ableton, and I've been testing a lot of different...

Hi I recently worked on 5 trailers of Hollywood movies. Unofficially but it was just to promote my sound and Music work. Trailers : NOTHING ! Thank you, Stan.

Hi, I'm a french composer for films and video games. I also make trailers for films, short-films, etc... I'm 27. I hope you will discover my work. I try to find professional movie projects to work on. I compose music from a long time (12 or 13 years now). Thank you, Stan.

Here's a video tutorial on how to make big hits/impacts in Massive. I've included the patch in the YouTube description and if you don't own Massive I've also included a WAV file sample. Beware there is a loud hit right at the beginning of the video so watch your levels. Thanks! The original...

Hi all, thank you in advanced for you interest in giving me a feedback. Before i send this song to the musicians to record live, i would like your opinion. Is there anything i should add or take? Do you think the song is good as it is? I did a minimal mix and its all midi so please dont judge...

So the writing is basically finished. Just ironing out the mix and modulation (nothing on the master channel and completely unmastered). Please critique my VI brothers and sisters, i want/need this to be the best it can be.

Hey! As a result of having subscribers on my website who love trailer music and want to get their music into Hollywood trailers and such, I decided to create an article on the matter. It was after a few years of composing music that I finally got my own tracks into these trailers, and started...

Hi all, can you please give me an honest opinion about this track? I am new to V I Control and this is my first soundtrack i am sharing on this forum. When i started to write Odyssea my intention was to create a soundtrack for a video game. Do you think this track will work for a video game...

Hello everyone, I've been a long-time observer on VI-Control but I thought it's finally time to introduce myself! I'm available to compose music for film, TV, games and advertising. I'd be grateful if people could check out my work over at www.rhsoundtracks.net. I'm hoping to become more...

Hello! Just finished this trailer piece, I would like to know your opinion on the quality of production here, please help me improve it and thanks for listening!

Nothing to see here.

Nothing to see here.

I was jamming on my new-ish 7-string guitar and figured I'd try doing some trailer-style heavy music.. This was the result :P

It's been a while since I've posted some music, so it's about time! I made this track today from scratch. There's a LOT of heavyocity Gravity and DM307 (Got 307 on the sale, great stuff!) I wanted to focus on the production here, mainly, so the writing isn't perhaps very inspired, but it's a...

I am currently participating at the ETHOS Online courses, which give me the occasion to get my compositions being judged by great composers, audio engineers or sound designers, mostly active in LA. In this case, it will be Christopher Young who will personally listen to it and make a comment...

Greetings and salutations fellow composers! Just wanted to introduce myself to the world of composers and say hello. Wrote a Trailer piece which I thought I'd show to you guys. Would love to hear what you think xD Thanks, Row
