    Decoding Reznor’s music charm didn’t degrade the myth, quite the opposite. Applying his technique to your own song, created a true inspiring force for all of us - bedroom producers! Wrapping everything up in your genius retro, almost satiric-ish ‘music video clip’, lifts up all the reznor-seriousness, to leave us with a unique sense of possibility and hope. Thank you for your great work!

  • @2213klon
    @2213klon 2 года назад +3

    Excellent work! Sounds pretty close to Hesitation Marks era. On my opinion the only thing which Trent would have done in a different way - is a structure of the song. What Trent would probably do - is delay the chorus and do the second verse right after the first one, introducing more instruments to the arrangement. And only then there'd be a chorus part. Trent likes to keep the tension...

    • @GreyoftheSnow
      @GreyoftheSnow 3 месяца назад

      Time signature. Playing in 6/8 (od 3/4) or 7/8 means there's that many notes in the subdivision of a musical bar. Most pop music is in 4/4 or 6/8 or something similar. He's talking about doing arpeggiated synth rhythms in Odd meter, which means 5/4, 7/8, 9/8, meaning if you're clapping "1,2,3,4", you can rhythmically play 7 notes within a count. It's kinda complicated but easy enough to grasp. That's just off the dome but there's def videos on here explaining way better than i can.

    IF possible could you also do how to make movie compositions like Trent Reznor? Like how he makes Gone Girl or The Social Network, That movie type production. In your convenience of course.
