I adjust it manually. People who play the instrument live don’t do velocities just randomly. If you want to sound real without actually playing it, you have to just put in the time.
I started 4 months ago and recently passed 200 hours and people do something so lazy? Where's the passion or the love of something mostly made entirely by your hand?
Don't adjust velocity randomly. Professional Piano players don't play dynamics at random, they play musically and with feeling. Although feeling is hard to recreate in midi drawing, visualise the push and pull of dynamics and phrasing and you can alter the velocities accordingly.
Not gonna lie, industry producers actually just get really good at playing keyboard. Decent tip for people who draw in midi though although the strum thing would just be better and more dynamic if you moved the notes by hand.
@@mrseenyousomewhere888 it's practice. You can't play something? Slow it down until you can play it with no flaws and then speed it up. You will apprehend things from a slow-fast approach faster than those who keep repeating - and as a result internalizing - mistakes. Orrr maybe you weren't talking about physically recording, and I misread your reply lol
@@mrseenyousomewhere888i struggled with the same thing. Here's some tricks I found to help me get the timing/rhythm down. 1) If you can sing/hum the melody/harmony then record your voice to a metronome then paste that audio alongside your midi clip and try lining up the midi notes with the transients of your voice clip. 2) Set your session bpm to half the speed when recording a faster section 3) when trying to get a rhythm down especially within a melody pick any note on the keyboard and press down whenever a note is to be played, disregarding the actual pitch. Then go back within the midi editor and use your mouse to change the same 1 note to the correct pitch, one note at a time. Hope this helps. Lemme know if my explanations don't make sense.
Not every vst/bank has different articulations on different velocities tho. Your sound clearly got softer but it could be the same harsh sound but quiter depending on the vst used
I’d recommend getting a midi keyboard, even if it’s played bad just adjust it afterwards, you get a better feeling for the velocity you’re aiming for and on top of that over time you’ll just get better at playing which is worth it in the long run
Yeah, they sound equally as good, its the black and white that gives people the thought that the one with colour is better. The first one still sounds good, and with the right music, it can fit just as perfectly
@@201hours8because the dude in the video is basically trying to emulate someone actually playing the instrument by making it sound “human” with different velocities and timing that is slightly off.
I usually just imagine the piano notes being two different hands, and offset the timing accordingly (leftmost finger to rightmost finger on each hand). As for the velocity, I usually make the notes quiteter the more dissonant an interval they make with the root of the chord (unless there's a specific note I want to accentuate and emphasize). Haven't really experimented with the multiplier thing you mentioned - sounded kinda like dampening to me. Gotta fiddle around with that a little. Commented this cuz I saw a bunch of comments about non-random adjustment, and I figured I'd put in my two cents.
Both After and Before are good tbh Both can be used to give more or less contrast on counter melody Lets say if U wanna make a lofi then u can use the first one But if u wanna make a synth bass music u can use the second 🙃
Or just use feel to adjust the placement and velocity of each note. If you actually use feeling, because you feel at all. Its real easy to make it sound realistic
If you want a good melodie than don't randomise, adjust the volume yourself or record yourself: for example piano mostly has louder high notes of the chords and ofc the general chord structure with root and fifth being the loudest
The only reason it sounds different is because the patch you're using has velocity scaling that effects timbrality. In this case, it's cutting high frequencies and giving the effect of a lowpass filter. Changing timing and velocity does not make your music sound better and is absolutely not a 'must. This is 100% patch specific.
Playing all notes exactly at the same time in a chord every time can feel unrealistic, you sort of have to arpeggio the notes and then hold them after pressing them. It gives a little bit of a flourish.
Just randomising the note velocity will not give you professional results. There is some variance of course which I get this is the idea of randomising, but the professional approach is to be in control of the dynamics. However, you can first randomise as a starting point and then tweak the velocity if you wish. (That is not to say you can't just randomise if manual adjustment is too much for you and you can't play a midi keyboard well enough, but it's ill-advised to suggest that will yield professional results.)
It all depends on the sound you are going like the example you showed the un process sounds some one would use in a gangster boom bap since the keys sound stabby and aggressive and the processed one sound soft like some one would write a sad song on it

Yeah, people who are really good don't play random velocities... I'm not very good, so my velocities tend to be a little random when playing the piano
same, even when I plug in an actual midi keyboard I adjust it afterwards to make it perfect

I generally adjust the velocity manually
It's more exhausting but it's better and feels closer when I play piano
Thank you !! Random does not equal realistic !
best comment
Yea, piano players dont play dynamics randomly, but they also can't play with the same pressure on each note so they don't sound at the same volume
Came to say this💯
Go into the wrench icon in top right and press humanise and that randomises timing,velocity and more all together

Shortcut key?

much appreciated

“And add a low pass filter”
Literally
yeah, just low pass and tape saturate

Vibey melody, sounds like light nostalgic
Feels like a classic C418 minecraft song
sounds like a lil tjay song
Yeah this is good, if this is what you're going for. Some trap melodies sound good robotic and that's cool too.
Yeah I was thinking how the before kinda sounds like a trap intro
I don't do it, I simply adjust every note by myself, or just record humanly yourself.
Same I tried it. But the thing is i get frustrated after a while and lost my motivation. How to fix that?

FL Studio Mobile having “humanizer” as a MIDI setting : 🗿
The pc version also got it recently
@@xgalactixtoo nice
I'll take the lofi version. Thank you.
Not every vst/bank has different articulations on different velocities tho. Your sound clearly got softer but it could be the same harsh sound but quiter depending on the vst used
That's actually crazy useful, thank you
Beautiful melody💯
Thanks 💯
bruh appreciate you so much please m'ake more videos like this。this is really helpful
They feel less static but a little bit muffled
Wow thanks dude❤
Also if you write anything more complicated than some chords and 8th notes manually adjusted velocity with intention in each note is an absolute must
That is actually helpful ngl, ill make sure to tell me producer to cook something up
I’d recommend getting a midi keyboard, even if it’s played bad just adjust it afterwards, you get a better feeling for the velocity you’re aiming for and on top of that over time you’ll just get better at playing which is worth it in the long run
please highlight the melody by having it slightly louder
Saving this one for later 👍

Dam, you weren’t lying when you said it sounded like it was being played live.
I like the before results more than the after results
me too
Me before the melody: This is gonna sound cool
Me after the melody: *Pure Happiness*
Jasper a young goat 🫂🐺
U know what would save u time....
Half time does a great job too!
blud put sound goodiser on the second with reverb 💀
Pop musicians doing everything in their power to not play an instrument
That’s what I’m saying. Even the more “dynamic” part sounds soulless
Still sounds good for like an rnb beat@@notzipfy916
Why would they need to play an instrument tho ?
@@201hours8because the dude in the video is basically trying to emulate someone actually playing the instrument by making it sound “human” with different velocities and timing that is slightly off.
maybe someone just doesnt have the financial conditions to buy one :)
Randomize is fucking wild😂😂😂
WHAT IS THAT MELODY?!?!
this was really helpful
Sure maybe manually setting velocity points makes sense, but in what fucking way does random velocity settings ever become fucking helpful?
@@Gamerboy90666The idea is to make it sound more human, but if you really want to do that you could just play it yourself
@@them0stanoying-500 Yeah just like my point stands manual velocity works... Why random? Random articulates don't even make sense consistently.
@@Gamerboy90666 true
This absolutely works
before sounds sooooo good
The before would perfectly fit into a Tupac song 🔥
Very helpful thank you! 💎🤲🏾💤

I like the use of randomization but when it come to piano I often do the velocity changing manually as I can control the feeling the notes have.
According to me,
First one sounds old and it's cool
Second sounds cool to and it's like lofi
Both After and Before are good tbh
Both can be used to give more or less contrast on counter melody
Lets say if U wanna make a lofi then u can use the first one
But if u wanna make a synth bass music u can use the second 🙃
This is a time saving I have ever met
Velocity is pretty important for emphasis.
Or just use feel to adjust the placement and velocity of each note. If you actually use feeling, because you feel at all. Its real easy to make it sound realistic
El after 🔥🔥
Im saving this up asap-
If you want a good melodie than don't randomise, adjust the volume yourself or record yourself: for example piano mostly has louder high notes of the chords and ofc the general chord structure with root and fifth being the loudest
this is used to make your music not to sound robotic, and feeling like a person played it live.
Thank you
actually useful wtf
Can you do this for the whole track. Basically mastering it with that trick?
I think there is more than that done to the “after” melody
It almost sounds like a different sound
Force à toi frérot ✅
First sounded better. More organic and I liked the wobbly effect.
Cool, in Ableton works?
valuable
But who does that live? Is the guy running the sound board moving the faders up and down like crazy? Come one now😂😂
FL just got a humanize option a while ago.
Sounds for Singy for the second one the first one feels more pronounced and makes me wanna rap on it more
Nice boss teach more
I can also achieve similar effects by playing the notes in With a midi keyboard
What song is playing in the background?😭🔥
The ones that know how to play piano live: 🍷
don't forget that before randomizing time and velocity that it will be band-pass filtered
If you don't want it to sound strummed, you could use the humanize script
when I press ALT + S it just changes all my notes to some random string of notes, and makes them super high pitched
I don't use flstudio but on lmms I do what you do with the velocity and I play with the sound curve lol
Noicy

The majority of plug-ins are set so that velocity adjusts timbre. I’m not spending 30 seconds of my 60 second short explaining that.
he just distorted the "before" to make it sound worse. ofc it will be different, but definitely not like this
The after part sounds softer than before
I honestly prefer the before one XD
What vst and sound this is sounds awesome
I made a beat using this❤
Stil sounds like frooty loops but only more fancy
Well, what's the problem with playing it live? Or adjust velocity etc manually? It may take a while but it's worth it
yeah adding a filter for the first one so it sounds “worse” than the second. even though it would sound pretty much the same
no filter on either of them, like I said
Playing all notes exactly at the same time in a chord every time can feel unrealistic, you sort of have to arpeggio the notes and then hold them after pressing them. It gives a little bit of a flourish.

Or just manually.change the velocity which will always sound better
I keep telling ppl on my discord that we don’t need third party plugins to make beats sound good. We just need to know what knobs to tune 🤓
✨or just play it live✨
or just low pass, add tape saturation, and compress a bit with tape tremolo and wow. there ya go.
If the song had a good vocal and flow then this music’s doesn’t matter.🤷🏻♂️
Bro wtf ,how can we hear the difference if you closed the filter to make it more intimate and emotional 🤦🤦🤦🤦🤦
Ain't no must in moosic
Nice
Btw when you download fl studio 21 producer edition do you get the latest updates to future updates forever ?
If you’re paying that much for something I’d assume they do give you the updates lmao
yes
Or better yet, record it in 😁
The only difference is that the second one sounded muffled.
first one sounds more interesting, the second sounds just like it has an lowpass on it
It all depends on the sound you are going like the example you showed the un process sounds some one would use in a gangster boom bap since the keys sound stabby and aggressive and the processed one sound soft like some one would write a sad song on it
But dude, how's did this when it's on BandLab?☺️🙏🏻
Did you messed up and included pitch randomization too, as that "after" piano sounded like slightly out of tune!?
Dude went from beats, to melodies, to Medley's
U can jus do this manually n use ur ears n revision to figure out what sounds best
My homie semi
first sounded like 10x better lmao
Yes 😂
