Composer J Scott Rakozy scores a cue using only Originals | Spitfire Audio

Composer J. Scott Rakozy writes a full original composition using Originals Emotional Cello, Intimate Brass, Intimate Woodwinds and Crystal Keys, then breaks down exactly how each one was used. Rather than a preset-by-preset tour, Scott scores the way he would a real project: writing the whole cue first, then pulling each instrument apart to show why he reached for it. Short staccatos and sustained chords, pizzicato textures, ambient sound design and long evolving swells, all shaped with nothing but stock plugins. He then explores the wider INSTRUMENT library, including pianos, choirs, strings and percussion — all from the Originals range.
