[CathyDMusic]

[CathyDMusic]

What Soundtrack is it?

[ArlithCake]

I wonder what his rendition of "twinkle twinkle little star" would sound like.. o.o

[mike2011ca]

matrix-esque!

[kopsidia]

A masterpiece!!!!!!!!!

[0kaytube0]

wow! awesome! Sir !

[Dicebox]

Awesome!! Nothing more to say.... O_o

[Stromkasteningo]

Saukrass

[slightlytwistedagain]

1.45

Smug mode. LOL.

[peetfreak]

that sounds like metal gear solid 3 :D

[Vipmaxp]

Is the keyboard transposed or is this not the actual audio?

[Herkulesxs]

i dont think its the actual keyboardaudio. i think the video shows him composing the music but the music used for the film is played by an orchestra.

[goodha2]

@Herkulesxs no, those are actually MIDI controller keyboards, no sound comes out of them, the just send the notes hes playing into the computer and the COMPUTER has the sounds, he bought really expensive (thousands of dollars) of orchestra sounds, and mixed them all together. He's recorded himself playing some of the parts, but the audio you are hearing is the finished recording put over him playing and just timed up.

[3v3r4ld0br]

@Vipmaxp is transposed, i guess

[Vipmaxp]

Is this keyboard transposed or is this not the actual audio

[MezzyArktide90]

Totally awesome. Really reminds me of the Metal Gear Solid 3 soundtrack. Amazing

[dariunas]

The drum sounds really make it and (I may have said before) but your instrumental skills are scary! May I ask what drum pad that is? And are you using Stormdrum...?

[fikologia]

BEST OF EVER

[kingofkeyboards]

is the orchestra coming of that KORG Triton or is it a VST or sample on the computer?

[diana47111]

It's Wonderful ! 5*****

[ArWoll]

it's unreal ))) Respect

[RevolutionarySavior]

Thats amazing...what would some suggestions be for a beat producer that wants to get into film composing or producing?? I'd appreciate any help. thank you

[VincentSinclair]

so thats how they do that movie music,..... now i understand how it works,

i bet it all costs alot of money,

[dariunas]

@VincentSinclair For REAL big budgets, that wanted orchestral music, this electronic production based on high quality orchestral sample banks would just be a mock- up :\

They would record the real one as an orchestra. However, this stuff is gold! Reminds me of some of the Unreal soundtracks... This stuff would still be used for some movies and TV series etc.

[Techguy1623]

LovN the work your doing. Need any help ( =

Hit me up..

Thanks'

[MarkLycons]

O M G

[ProgRog]

Absolutely fantastic!

[NikFrivilous]

Lol very Jordan Rudess ending

[leimeisei909]

Holy shit, that's good equipment, it sounds just like a real orchestra. How much money would I have to lay down to buy a keyboard and software that would sound like that?

[aaldenmusic]

many thousands of dollars

[fikologia]

yoyoyo man

[flamesh2d]

how long does it usually take you to get a score done? and where can i hear more? this was amazing did you go to school for this or something cuz playing two keyboards at once is awesome and i love the tension very cool

[CathyDirector]

awesome

[robpowersmusic]

Thank you all for the compliments!

[rjk1482]

@robpowersmusic you deserve it...you seem so much in control..thats fantastic!...can you tell us about your setup...what computers are you using, DAW, sample libraries? what about those amazing percussion sounds...please share this with us...you are amazing..just keep making this amazing stuff!!!!

[Thediegmyster]

... that was the most intense 1:55 seconds of music I've heard in a while!!! .. WOW .. i need to get SD2 .. uggh!

awesome job!

[DanielCiurlizza]

Is that Nuendo or Cubase?

[MacUserLogic]

Check out the East West Quantum Leap Stormdrum 2 for a lot of these sounds as well as the Symphonic Orchestra. Really great libraries for film composing. you can check out soundsonline (dot) com for all the samples and videos of the products.

[DanielCiurlizza]

I actually have both of these programs. And just to give a second film composer's opinion... Yes, both of those programs are awesome.

[FraRug76]

great!!

[Mykelus]

The great keyboard is a Korg Triton, but he uses only it as keyboard master. All sounds originate from software vst.

[NemanjaRistic]

this is what I call "composing"......

[theBbOoSSss]

what keyboard is he using?

[NLGuppy]

i dont like this video. Cause you can't see the real thing of making music, like making the sounds and adding the effects. But i do like the music he made

[mindstormsabrewin]

Great keyboard playing! Tremendous drama in that piece.

[abelizable]

it's not as easy as he makes it look

[lone1980]

More of this.. and I'm heading over to L.A directly.. :D

[minelekke]

NICEE I'm starting with film composing

[23pokrzywa]

I'm really impressed.

[daryl152]

WOW this guy is amazing!

[richiedeathness]

The man.

[Tabanus27]

Super Geil!!!!

[RicoFernandoVlaar]

You rock,

respect man!!

[tearsinraine]

nice demo video... great talent and fantastic piece... 5/5

[aorphia]

totally awesome!

[MyPassionsss]

Look at those hands! Jesus! AMAZING WORK!

[xzhermitzx]

Music God!!!

[theblackpiano]

awesome!

[lyrix15]

In what kind of way do you use the Mpc?

Are you only running it as a midi controller or are you really sampling all your drums from it?

[eddmerckx]

omg this is Awesome. Never saw how they do this.

[soyvot]

INCREDIBLE.

[sinmall]

Great Job. Which vst plugins did you use please?

[sinmall]

This is great. Which VST plugins are you using please?

[JacksonHugh]

Sounds like VSL to me.

[BrandonHaydonMusic]

Very good. Your sound reminds me of the Yu-Gi-Oh theme this may seem like a dumb question but did you write the Yu-Gi-Oh theme?

[davidharman55]

Awesome! Some people craft stories with words; others with pictures; Rob crafts stories with musical notes! This score communicates danger, urgency, excitement and victory. Excellent work Rob.

[cbalsamo7]

Unbelievable!!!!!!!!

[emwashere714]

wow!!!! i am very very impressed!! i want to be a film composer when i get older...any tips???

[filmcomposers]

This sounds huge! Love it. Rob, any tips on what's a good replacement for Gigastudio or are many sticking with it? Are you running multiple PCs? and one final, what sound card are you using?

I've did hundreds of dance/rap stuff but looking to do what I truly want which is soundtracks.

[arealfreak]

this is kick ass!!!!!!!!! realy the kind of video i was looking for

[scottclark1987]

This man is so amazing!! I have known him for 25yrs..and he just keeps getting better..This is only a SMALL sample of talent he has ...Best wishes to you and Michelle..oh by the way Rob..POST MORE!!!!!!!

[habibwardak]

Wow, great job!! What kind of string patch is that? Or are you just using the pedal unit to create that effect? (something like partial sustains)

[robpowersmusic]

It's actually various string samples from Garritan strings through Giga studio

[Onthegig]

This is NUTS!!! WOW man!

[robpowersmusic]

Thanks, man! I checked out your drum video and I was blown away...that was awesome!!!

[Tgreenfi08]

Simply Amazing! I have never seen such a skilled music creator. I use Logic Pro, but I'm trying to find out how to get those drum sounds you were creating. Do they come from Giga Studio?

[robpowersmusic]

Thanks, the drums were some Giga samples but primarily Quantum Leap's RA. It was about 28 tracks of ethnic drums, electric drums, orchestral percussion, etc, to get the rich sound I was looking for.

[kloakovalimonada]

WHat kind of samplers/sequencers is that?

[robpowersmusic]

Its an MPC2000 that's accessing samples from Gigastudio. Thanks for your interest.

[ChuckBalsamo]

Absolutely Amazing, You truly are the next generation and I think you have something new to offer. Hans zimmer would not only be proud but I think a little jealous.

[thegrandninner]

Wow! Amazing composer!

[chelerob]

INCREDIBLE! The music sounds so real. I would've thought it was a real orchestra!

[macsims1]

Extremely taleted musician!! Can't believe he plays all parts!!! Awesome!!!

[FalconsAndColts]

That was awesome, very taleted.
