Your DAW is not a score, it's a virtual canvas to paint with sounds. We composers are like Renaissance oil painters, building layer over layer to create texture, volume and detail

Only testing your music in-game gives you the full picture of whether your music is working or not. Totally different experience from listening it in your DAW

No matter what they say, a well-produced texture isn't enough by any means.
Melodies and themes are the only real superpower of music. It's what makes us connect emotionally with it.

10 Things a game composer can do but AI can't:
1. Yell at the computer because stems take too long to export
2. Work with musicians that will pour their very soul into the music

It is indescribably sad that, if you exploit “essentially all music files of reasonable quality that are accessible on the open Internet” without paying the musicians behind them - and create a model that can compete with those musicians - this is how you are rewarded

Once you start recording live musicians there is no coming back. Music becomes so much richer and human you have to rethink your pipeline.

There is lots of things you can learn by reading. But music is not one of them. You can't learn to make music by reading books in the same way you can't learn to have sex by reading books

It's not about the money. It never was. It's about matching creative energies. Once you get that, the rest will follow.

Cubase 15 is here, but the star feature for me keeps being Cubase 14 refurbished score editor. It's awesome to have a clean view both on MIDI and Score mode

If you have a good idea with some edge, you can smooth the edge. It still can be interesting. Polished.
However you can't add some edge to a boring idea.
It doesn't work both ways.

Having ideas is the easy part. Anyone can have them. To shape a good idea into something that breathes and shines, that's the difficult part.

People once said MIDI would replace musicians and make everyone a composer. It didn’t.
Musicians still matter, and composition still takes skill.
The same will happen with AI.

No matter how much tech evolves, the emotional power of music is what we keep looking for.
That's why we keep listening to things recorded with 1 bad microphone on a magnetic tape 75 years ago.

Having an absolute blast turning an Xbox game controller into a fully playable musical instrument 🎵
In this third video I'm playing a hybrid track using hangs, piano and kalimba among several synths, all triggered and manipulated through the controller

We need an AI to replace audio automatically on middlewares, so that you don't need to spend 2 hours editing and replacing the freshly mixed tracks with the older ones
