Creating Epic Heroic Themes

Description

In this Groove3 video tutorial series, production pro Gary Hiebner reveals how to produce epic heroic musical themes, perfect for film and video productions, as well as gaming titles!

Gary starts by welcoming you and then covers what will be shown in the videos. He then goes into the instruments used, different chord progressions that invoke this kind of musical genre, and coming up with the beginning musical theme.

Next you’ll explore how to build up the rhythm parts, move your melody line across to other instruments, develop horn ensembles, orchestrate string parts, modulate the entire piece for dramatic effect and much more.

Gary then gets ready to rock, and shows you how to use electric guitar and drums to add power to the production and arrangement. Sound design and FX are then added, including synth pads, drones, and pulses, as well as orchestral swells and impacts, all making for a huge sounding composition!

Wrapping it up, you’ll get in-depth videos on adding life to the project by using reverbs, adding choirs, and tempo changes for dramatic effect. Gary then show you how to apply mix processing and utilize VCA master faders to make a mix that has punch and impact.

Easy to understand and helpful. But I have a question about the 9th section "Add Counter Brass Melody". Is it a counter-melody or a fill? I myself suppose that is a fill. Everyone?

As always, Gary has delivered another concise, easy to understand epic tutorial. From start to finish, the tutorial takes you to an arrangement and orchestration journey. It's fun.

The instructor is Awesome! From melodic motif to finish production in under 3 hours!! Lots of great info without wasting time>

Helpful but it would be better with the English captions as there are so many musicians are not English native speakers watching this.
