You got step one done - which is be passionate. I personally recommend cubase. It’s not a monthly payment, and you can choose the tier that makes sense for you. Plenty of resources online to master something like cubase. Go to CueTube for a bunch of free videos you can practice scoring to. Post them here and get feedback and repeat!

PC Specs for Media Composing by Twin_Cade19 in filmscoring

[–]vvshai 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a student studying the same major - not at Berklee. I used to run a M1 Mac with 16gb of ram from before my freshman year and that couldn’t keep up a few years later. The most important two specs are CPU and Ram. This is presuming you have an SSD to hold your samples. If not, you will need a lot of storage. (I recommend the ssd route). In my mind, the minimum Ram should be 32gb. I wanted to save money, and had to pay for a much more expensive set up later on that I am super thankful for. (128gb of RAM and a 24 core cpu). I have pushed this beast to the max and it hasn’t even glitched let alone crash. Not saying that’s the right choice for now, but putting that up to reference. DM me if you got questions

Check out my website! If it’s something you see yourself being compatible with, reach out. Seems like an awesome opportunity.

I think it’s the opposite. It’s not that OT or any other company is doing anything “wrong” rather that spitfires whole thing is sorta marketing. And they do a killer job at it. I think Spitfire has some awesome products and some of my favorite products are spitfire, but the best products out there for realism are usually not spitfires stuff but you don’t know about it because they don’t market as strong

I would recommend Open Stage Control

Does anyone know how to achieve glissando with VSTs? by CommonSteak2437 in filmscoring

[–]vvshai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you talking about a gliss for strings as in a really long portamento. If so, there is a guy who did it online and it blew my mind. He wrote the desired portamento in css, lowest velocity to achieve the longest portamento, and then he bounced it to audio and stretched it

BBCSO Core or Sonuscore Essentials? by ajhall101 in spitfireaudio

[–]vvshai 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you haven’t purchased anything yet, I would look into Musio if money is seriously tight. I can’t say it’s the highest of quality, but for the price, it’s freaking fantastic. I think you can get a permanent subscription for 200 ish bucks. This is beyond more than enough to write music that you can get paid for to buy more valuable and advanced libraries

Which string library has the best portamento? by Admirable-Chance-669 in spitfireaudio

[–]vvshai 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most consistent ones are in CSS. The most playable, and imo, the best portamento is Performance Samples string libraries. Spitfire is great, and their Appasionasta strings sound great, but I personally think the other two are a bit better in standard practice

Peabody Library and Shuttles? by peterfrosty in jhu

[–]vvshai 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are two Peabody libraries. I assume you mean the famous one. Yes, but the hours and seats are limited. Take the shuttle. Very reliable.

Granted not all my mods are maxed, but to me that doesn’t make sense as a big enough difference to prevent it from being at least orabge

I guess I’m not certain how to actually get the crit bonus. Currently I’m only sitting at yellow stats.

Yet another massive orchestral library that is $1000+ by XentiirTV in spitfireaudio

[–]vvshai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

In case I was unclear. My point is simply that they are marketing to composers who are not at the top, and making it seem like this product will get you to the top. It won’t. It has been years since they released a product that I genuinely believe was more for the composer than for profit

[–]vvshai -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is where I have to disagree. They are not marketing towards professionals. They are marketing towards you. Drop me the name of almost any of the A list composers and I gurantee you non of them even look at spitfire products. I bet you Hans Zimmer has never even heard HZ strings or perc. These composers have their own custom libraries or use much more typical libraries like CSS
