True!
Genius!😊
Rofl it is a toy program, not a "music app". but yes as said in another comment, if you have no background in programming, it can be helpful ;)
Thanks for your definition! Sorry for naming a little application (app) helping me with music is not a music app but a toy program :) I will keep that in mind. And yes, it is helpful, because so far I didn't find a simple tempo tapper that wasn't packed with ads or loaded of unnecessary features from professionals! 😘
It's a music application! He made a .exe file that performs a very specific task as requested. This is just the beginning!
It's 100% a music app. It does one thing, and very well.
Ignore that troll. People are upset that AI actually has use cases for the ordinary person with NO coding skills that WILL replace the vast majority of programmers with this attitude. It is a music application, as it is used to tap the tempo, which they apparently don't understand.
@@wtcbd01 Upset? absolutely not, it can be useful for people with no background in programming (as i said up there) Calling me a troll is pure slandering Just it makes me a bit amused to call that a music app (ever if technically it is)
As a software engineer, I will have to pause the video and look at the code generated by Anthropic 😁 However, I do agree that for somebody like you with zero knowledge of coding this is exactly one of the best use cases to justify the use of AI
Hey Marco, yes, I think every expert job can't be quickly replaced by AI and it also doesn't get in the way of hiring professional coders and programmers for a serious gig. When it comes to these occasional things or even building your own tools, AI can be of great help :)
@@AlexPfeffersAudioArtistRise indeed. From my personal experience, I can totally tell you that the code that ChatGPT produces, for example, often requires lots of rewriting and massaging, but this Anthropuc tool you used totally outperforms ChatGPT
I'm a software engineer as well, and use AI a lot to get some help when writing music. So we're all in the same AI boat.
@@ricardo.ambrogi Thank you! Yup, I think as long as companies don't start to use AI to replace specialists I don't see any problem by using AI as an assistant.
Being someone that has worked with some of the largest companies in the world, this is a fantastic use of AI for the average person. Working recently with The largest advertising in the world...I heard several top executives practically warning all their Master level creators that those that don't learn to use AI tools WILL eventually be replaced by those who embrace using AI tools. Please keep your enthusiasm and "AI programming", as speaking from experience, those same people emphasized that plenty of people have " knowledge", as they expect, but fewer are those that are actually good, helpful and humble "people" and that is more important for their company.
Great Video Alex, it's always nice to see that professionals as well use the Librarys from Audio Imperia !
Superb video. I am absolutely going to follow along to build a template that works for me, thank you.
Hey Ryan, thanks! Keep in mind that you can directly download it as pointed out in the video description. It is free for you :)
This was a problem for my music video presentatipn. I was struggling with videos. Good advice to add some new music.
Hi at the 2:30 mark where is the disk button you say you are clicking to make a VST preset? I can't see your mouse
Hey, you may want to pay attention to the very left bottom corner. The mouse pointer is still there. You can even see when I am clicking on it. Did you catch it?
@@AlexPfeffersAudioArtistRise I see that now, thanks! Also curious Ableton doesn't seem to be used by many orchestral producers, why do you think that is? The program is very powerful in my opinion
@@mikeklement7223 I don't know, tbh I didn't find the option to record WHILE seeing the MIDI notes. This is something that is heavily needed in our industry and I am quite baffled why this (seemingly) doesn't work. Maybe you have a solution for that? :)
Great video. Well explained. Thx you b
Thank you! :)
Awesome track, great walkthrough and what a great singing voice you've got! You should launch your own vocal sample pack lol!😁
Idk, it all looks kind of artificial (obviously) and low effort, especially the voice. Also it distracts from the music (depends on the genre of course). Not sure how I feel about all this. I'd probably just get some really cool art from a real artist and add animations to it in After Effects...
Of course, feel free to do whatever you want. If you go that route make sure to set up a big plan because it may take a few days until you get all the pieces together. Also make sure to not just get art but clarify that you have the permission to do so. Also keep in mind when creating daily content (which this automation is intended for) you will get into problems when working with real artists or you have to create a huge buffer. Basically there are no limits and no laws but I see my peps getting work in the industry by not thinking too much about recreating Hollywood but presenting their music in a bit of a different way. The style may look cheap to you but it is just one out of many that you can pick. You could go anime, cartoon or more fantasy sketch such as in WoW etc. But if you find great voiceover artists, work with visual artists and take some hours to create great content it is always the best thing to go with anyway. However, I can promise you by going this route you will probably get one piece of content done per week, if not ... less. PS: I have probably different data than you because the videos on the demo reels of my students get watched more (and therefore the music the potential client can listen to) than the actual music tracks presented as "just" music.
What software is this? Some kind of AI aggregator?
It's Make dot com you can check my long video about the Fantasy Story Creator. I explain everything in details.
Love it! 🙂
Unbeatable free resource! Fantastic gift! 🎁❤🎉
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Wow 😳 that‘s very cool 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼😎
Thank you, that is awesome idea
Thank you!
Best video on YT😊
Haha, thank you so much!
@@AlexPfeffersAudioArtistRise I wish you had a playlist on music production on cubase...would really help
Thank you for your lessons, Alex!
Okay. Then im gonna go this way. Alex, do you need assistant for some of your project's? 😅
No time for musical projects currently :)
Thank you! Amazing cue and excellent breakdow. Learned a lot!
This is one of those videos that I didn't know I needed until I watched it... and yet I so did! Thank you. I am a 57 year old autistic very experienced musician & composer, but am right at the beginning of my journey trying to get paid work through my music, whilst holding down a full time job. I have experienced many of the negative thoughts that you mentioned, comparing myself to other composers and feeling not worthy in the sea of more experienced competition. Having watched your 'rant' as you called it, It has given me a kick up the backside that I may have needed to feel more positive. Once again, thank you. 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind comment! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out any time!
Thanks for sharing!
Hey Alex, great idea to remove the group tracks from the composing window, I never realised that you could do that ! Thanks !
Thanks for sharing, Alex!
Just sublime Alex. That section at the start is so impactful by use of layers it cuts through my headphones into my soul :-) just awesome !!!!
epic
I love this track breakdown! Thanks for sharing.
Very informative breakdown of a cool track, thanks Alex! p.s. Is there a reason you haven't updated Hive?
Thank you! As far as I know it wasn't even available at this time :)
Thanks for sharing your song, creative process and mix choices Alex! You're awesome!
It's just amazing how "simple" you make it. And it sound glorious!! I spend too much time worring about every single step of the mixing process. For instance: EQs (Low cuts, eqing the signal before it hits the reverb, etc...) BTW, any chance to get to know a little more about your PC specs in an upcoming vid? It looks like it handles really heavy duty. Thank you for the amazing content you're always providing us with!
Thank you so much but tbh, nothing too special. Make sure you have a bit of memory (depends on how big your template is), that you got a few more CPU cores and SSD drives. Also you may want to pay attention to your buffer settings of your sound card and the buffer size of Kontakt for used instruments. This can all heavily influence your memory usage and workflow efficiency.
Hey alex great vidoe thanks!
Great video Alex.
Thank you!
As always, great content Alex ! So cool to have the whole version like this ;)
Thanks so much!
💯🚀😍👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you!
What the F😂😂😂😂
😅😂
i'm a little bit confused about your recommendation to pose as a fictional character. I understand how that might apply if you're pitching for games, but how does it apply outside of that?
It was obviously targeted towards games. It can work for trailer music too but if it's about something that is more serious you also want to appear seriously. However, instead of posting pages about all your skills or your bio I would focus on what benefits a company would have from working with you.
Let’s go🤘🤍
Yes, thank you! :)
These videos are a godsend, thanks
Thank you!
More Ableton content!
absolutely! :)
❤
there are no good videos really showing how to use Berlin Reverb. if you could do that you would be the first. I have it and still do not use it as much as i should, i find myself still falling back on EventideSP2016 because i'm confortable with it. i feel confused a bit using this reverb.
Hey, what specifically confuses you about this reverb?
Thanks for sharing!
Great info to remember!
Awesome advice!
Hey Alex! A quick video about "basic" orchestral mix process (like polish with eq, how and when use a multiband compressor and a satuation ecc.) could be really helpful! :D
Loving your new channel Alex! A lot of useful insights for new artists and composers. 🙌 See you soon!
Thank you so much Noemi!
Thank you Alex!
Thanks for sharing!
wow! You are actually interested in music instead of sound engineering. Hats off to you. May I suggest using an analog mixer and then go straight to digitizing. The less you mess, the better.
What mixer do you suggest? What wokflow whn you work on 90 mins of a video game soundtrack and get constant reworks and edits? Do you stay in Midi or do you render it all to audio and then need to break up again?
@@AlexPfeffersAudioArtistRise Alex this was about actual musicians in a studio, not video games. I know it's old fashioned to have musicians come together in a studio but if they are in the same city, that's best. Use any old analog mixer, and then go straight to digital. If you can, make 2 digital masters simultaneously: 1) that's hi-res, and 2) at the bit rate that you'll actually be releasing. The sound quality might be the best you ever made :) I listened to some of your tracks on SoundCloud and there's way to much digital harshness for me. This harshness is the reason there's a resurgence in vinyl. So it does bother a lot of people. All these things may not apply to your work but I am sure you'll figure out a way so you *absolutely minimize* working in digital. If you work in digital, at the very end of it all, see if there's some software to reduce the digital harshness. If there is, I would definitely use that. Good luck.
@@user-xd9xy5yl9l So what analog mixer do you recommend?
