    Thanks! This was informative and helpful! Love empty head music compilations and I've been wanting to make this kind of music. I'll definitely check out your sample pack! Question: I have Ableton but not Serum. Would I just put the oneshot samples into an instrument rack to use them with MIDI? Sorry, I'm still kinda new at this stuff😅

    • @VarsityBeats
      @VarsityBeats 12 часов назад

      (I can only speak for Ableton 10, idk if this is the same across all versions) Ableton has two instrument plugins you can do this with, the "Sampler" and the "Simpler," you can drag and drop oneshot samples onto either of them and play MIDI through them like a regular synth. They are located in Browser->Categories->Instruments. I prefer Sampler because it gives you more controls to mess with. There are a few parameters in Sampler you’ll want to tweak after you load in a oneshot: 1. sustain mode - if you want the oneshot to loop or not (Sample tab) 2. loop start/end/crossfade - where in the sample you want it to loop (Sample tab) 3. Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release - the shape of the volume when you play a note (Filter/Global tab) 4. Pitch bend range - this is usually 2 or 12 but for some reason it loads in as 7 (MIDI tab) 5. Vibrato - you have to manually do this: Turn on LFO 1 in Modulation tab. Set Freq anywhere from 8Hz to 10Hz. Set Pitch to 4%. In the MIDI tab, set the ModWheel destination A to be LFO 1 Amt Pitch and set it to 100%. What this lets you do is move the ModWheel parameter to increase vibrato, or the wiggly pitch sound. This sounds good on some synth and lead sounds. I recommend setting this^ up to load as your default preset when you open Sampler, that way you don’t have to do it every time (specifically the pitch bend and ModWheel steps). All you have to do is open the sampler plugin (don’t load in a sample yet), do steps 4 & 5^ and right click the top bar of the plugin and select “Save as Default Preset.” My normal workflow when I use one shots is to move them onto my samples folder and then I’ll go to the Ableton Browser and click “Add Folder” in the bottom left. After you select the folder where your samples are, it will always show up under your “Places” tab in the browser. When you select that folder, it should show all of the samples and you can click on or use the arrow keys to listen to the audio preview of the oneshots/samples. I saw you wrote instrument racks -- When I first started out on Ableton I used instrument racks for everything but it's not the best workflow- I never got to the bottom of why but it would slow down my computer a ton. If you want to have stacks of instruments playing the same notes like you can with instrument racks, I recommend just using separate channels and just copying the MIDI from one to the other. I hope this helps!

    6:54 is actually C13(b9). The C somehow disappeared when I was analyzing the chords lol. The reasoning behind this chord is it's the "5" of the next chord, F.

    These numbers are better than I expected. So someone like Yeat has made $11.3 million *after* tax and *after* revenue splits. And he makes 11.5 bands a day. 1/10th of that would be a godsend. That’s before shows which bring in stupid cash (literal cash no one needs to know about). You could do 10-20 shows a year 100k-300k each. And merch, probably another 500k Again 1/10th of that I am up more than anyone anywhere. The median NFL player makes 1/3 of that after tax. And then you could take all that money and invest it in companies and realestate. Damn so Destroy Lonely is $2.3 mill + 3 bands a day + $500k/year from shows. And he’s 22. I would be sooo cool with a third of even just that. At 22-23. That’s not even crazy well known atp. Ken is $3.5 mil + 6 bands a day + prolly 750k for shows. 6 bands a day is just crazy. I could buy my car everyday. And labels are stupid they don’t make any financial sense. They take 80% of the revenue and do work you could do yourself or with a team to do. Booking venues is not complicated, “promoting music” what does that even mean in 2024, mixing and mastering genuinely isn’t that important or hard enough where I couldn’t learn. What do they do other than provide “security”, I don’t understand. And music isn’t supposed to be secure, it’s music lmao. Make good songs, upload to TikTok, have strong branding, and tour. 1 person could learn and do all that. And hire out a team as necessary. To make the financial goals I want to meet, I’d need to be 2 or 3 times the artist. And that seems ways harder than doing the work yourself. On top of that, I was so confused when I heard destroy lonely just now bought a hellcat as his *first* car. That’s a cheap ass car for being Destroy Lonely. His label took everything. His fan base streams his music crazy and he doesn’t see any of that.

    • @nicholasn.2883
      @nicholasn.2883 23 дня назад

      In the streaming world, the label doesn’t do the work and takes all the revenue. That don’t add up 😭. And why sign to a business in decline. I’m not going to prop them up 💀 Pre-TikTok, going viral was genuinely difficult. SoundCloud and the radio were the only forms of organic growth. With really no in between. The label made sense. But now, TikTok is the radio and SoundCloud put together. A song can go from nothing to reaching 300 million people completely organically. There’s no need for a label. They got automated out. The small work they did can be done by anyone with some sense on the payroll. Yeats growth in 2021 and 2022 was all organic. He made good music, kept up an image, and hit upload. Idk why he signed to a label. I also hate the idea of a contract I can’t leave. A 3 album deal is 4-6 years of my life. Under a binding contract. Fck no. What I want is to reach 1 billion streams, 2 bands a day, 3 years of shows. And then fck off and do something else. That’s exactly what I want. That’s 5 m’s, time of my life touring the world, and recurring revenue. And I haven’t just spent my whole life on just music. I could actually fck off. I want oil money, not no regular check.
