2018 Malayalam Movie Bgm Score

 2018 MALAYALAM MOVIE BGM RECREATE (TUTORIAL)


2018 is a Malayalam Movie which is also known as Everyone Is a Hero. It is based on a real
kerala story and true events in the 2018 flood which occured in Kerala. The Movie is directed by one the finest director Jude Anthany. It's Music is done by Nobin Paul.

Here in this blog we are looking on how to recreate the amazing score in this movie. Obviously the original score was made by using the live strings instruments which gives us the emotional feeling while watching the movie. However we will be using the Virtual Instruments to recreate this bgm using Logic Pro as my Digital Audio Workstation and Samson Carbon 61 as my Midi Keyboard.

Tempo - 124
Time Signature - 4/4 (Triplet)

1. Pads

To keep the uplifting effect throughout the music it is really important to place an ambient pad behind. Pad presets are available on most of the plugins but for here i used the Time Textures by Sonuscore (Kontakt).
Here is the Pattern I used:


You can also try different octaves and also try to keep the ambient pad till the end of the score.

2. Strings

Next important instrument used is the Strings Section which is basically a mix of Violin, Viola and Cello.
After we record the strings section remember to give a boost in the high end of the equalizer as it gives a really good output rather than a plain tone. Also remember to give the expression knots a few twerks and play with the vibratos as well, so even though it doesn't sound exactly like the real instruments, it will give a better tone. Here is the Pattern I used for Strings:


You can either use the Modulation in the Midi Keyboard or you can arrange those in the Automation Option on the DAW.

3. Bass

Usually i layer most of the Instruments but for this one i just added a simple plain bass and removed it's high end. The sub effect will give life to the score. For Bass I used the Action Bass preset from the plugin Nexus 3. Here is the pattern I used:


4. Strings Staccato

This is same as that of the second one which I mentioned earlier(Strings). The only difference is here we are selecting the staccato type tone and the other one we used earlier was the sustain type. For any action or emotional type content staccatos of strings will give much more intense to the track. For creating this I used Action Strings 2 (Kontakt Library). Here is the pattern I used:


5. Percussions

The Percussions we use in these type of tracks are obviously different from those add in normal songs. These percussions are often known as Trailer Hits. It is so rare to get these type of samples or Library. As far as i know there are very less libraries for this percussions and one of them is Ferrum which I used here for creating the Hit effect. Try to add multiple hit effect and give doubling or stereo effect to one of those. Here is the pattern I used for recreating the Percussion:


6. Choir

For Choir I selected the Women Performance Option from the Library Strom Choir Ultimate from Kontakt. Select the sustain tone and give Expressions to the Choir just like we did in the Strings. Try to add more dynamics too. Here is the Choir pattern:


You can also use these elements as a custom template and create a background score of your like.
Thank You. Enjoy.

GTA IV Beat Making

 GTA IV THEME MUSIC (BEAT MAKING TUTORIAL) In this blog we are looking on how to recreate the theme music of GTA IV. For this i've used Logic Pro as my DAW and i used Akai Mpk Mini as my Midi Keyboard. Now let's look on how we recreate the beat. Tempo - 142 Scale - C minor 1. BASS While recording the bass it's better to layer the tracks to get the perfect sound. Try to add a bass which has a sub effect or select a random bass and remove it high frequency using the equalizer plugin. Nest step is layer it a bass which has a square tone effect. You can remove its low end a bit as there is an instrument which already has a low end. So it will prevent a rumbling unwanted noise. For this i've used the plugin Nexus 3. It has wide amount of bass presets. I've selected the preset Agora for the sub bass and Aggressive Bite for the square tone. Here is the pattern of the bass. 2. RHYTHM The rhythm part is the most grooviest thing of all. For creating the rhythm we need to add ...

What is MIDI? How it Works?

MIDI KEYBOARD AND ITS USE What is MIDI Keyboard and how does it works? MIDI stands for Musical Instrument Digital Interface. It is and Interface between Musical Instruments and Computer. MIDI was invented in early 1980s as a way to let different instruments communicate with each other. MIDI helps us to communicate wit computers so we can use DAWs like FL Studio, Logic Pro X, Ableton, Studio One.. to send information to these devices. A MIDI has 3 inputs. 1. MIDI Out 2. MIDI In 3. MIDI Thru What MIDI Out does is it sends a MIDI signal out of the device and MIDI In takes a MIDI signal inside the device and a MIDI Thru allows it to pass to another device. So basically how it works is when you press a Key or Pad it creates a MIDI message and the message is sent to the device which it is connected. MIDI is just a language, the controller speaks the language and any one who understand it can react to those messages. So you know what else can speak MID, your DAW (Digital Audio Workstation)...

Blinding Lights Beat Making Tutorial

 THE WEEKND - BLINDING LIGHTS (Beat Making Tutorial) Here are the instruments i added to recreate the track. 1. Rhythm For Kick and snare i selected the Acoustic type drums from the KSHMR VOL 3 sound Pack. Apply Kick on 1,3,5, two beats between 6 & 7 and apply kick on 7 as well in 2 bars. Apply snare on every second kick we hear. Give hi-hats on every click we hear. Don't go for any hi-hat rolls, just keep it simple. You can also add dynamics to the hit hats to find it less robotic and more humanized. Follow this pattern: 2. Pads While recreating the Pads try to go for a church organ type pad and mix it with a ambient pad. Layering these two will give a perfect sound. For this i selected analog ensemble(Synth category) and mixed it with ambient pad in Nexus 3. Nexus 3 is one of favourite plugins for adding edm riffs, lead, synth sounds and pads as well. Here is the pads pattern. 3. Bass For bass I used 3 types of tone. First one is the Analog Pulse, second is Square tone and th...
