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.
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.
Details like this can improve a great idea, but a great melody just randomly pops up in your head. You don't "write" it, because then it'd be to complex and out of context
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 mean I did a tutorial on it in less than 60 seconds, and in practice it takes a quarter of that time. That's 15 seconds, not much effort... especially not a "hilarious" amount of effort
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
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.)
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
I would say that when you add drums and bassline etc the adjusted one fits into the track a lot better. I guess it's hard to tell when you listen to it in isolation
@@emberheat990 okay let me put it this way, because maybe I wasn’t being clear. The adjusted version sounds 10x better, if you can’t hear that then music production simply isn’t for you. The first version sounds harsh, too bright and generally horrible.
@@JASPERTUTORIALS whether or not music production is for me, I'm entitled to an opinion. You are as well, but it's ridiculous for you to state an opinion as objective fact when it just isn't. I'm not even arguing about whether the adjusted version is better or worse, It's just that I expect you to not project.
@@emberheat990 it’s objective in the sense of what artists want. I teach my viewers how to make sales, and it’s objectively true to say that the adjusted version will sell better
What if your strumizer doesn’t work? For some reason like for example I’ll drag a midi in and when I try to strum it it doesn’t seem to work?? Anyone else have this issue?
Why is it when I press alt r, it just throws random notes everywhere. It doesn’t bring up a menu like the one shown. Do I have a setting changed perhaps?
Mfs who just play it on a live recording: 🗿
Fr 😂, I have a Guitar & i don't regret learning & recording it
@@magicals_ it also just feels more satisfying in a way cause U know ur the one playing the notes and not the daw
@@billross9132 yeah i can do feel that, and when you can play it on beat is even something different 💯
fr it sounds better
@@billross9132the daw isn’t doing it regardless you are lmao. Some people record into piano roll as well

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
Top left*
Shortcut key?
@@saggybeatsdk if there is one
much appreciated
@@splodge6769 Alt+ R
the first one sounds like its going into the best drop youve heard ever, while the second just sounds like background music
No tutorial can tell u shi.
music is art and everything is a preference 😂.
Yeah I kinda liked the first one more lol
“And add a low pass filter”
FL Studio Mobile having “humanizer” as a MIDI setting : 🗿
Vibey melody, sounds like light nostalgic
Feels like a classic C418 minecraft song
sounds like a lil tjay song

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?

yeah i do that too
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
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

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
Randomize is fucking wild😂😂😂

True. I needa learn how to play a Midi Keyboard
Wow thanks dude❤
please highlight the melody by having it slightly louder
before sounds sooooo good

blud put sound goodiser on the second with reverb 💀
bruh appreciate you so much please m'ake more videos like this。this is really helpful
This is a time saving I have ever met
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
Very helpful thank you! 💎🤲🏾💤
Jasper a young goat 🫂🐺
They feel less static but a little bit muffled
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?
Ain't no must in moosic
actually useful wtf
Saving this one for later 👍
U know what would save u time....
Me before the melody: This is gonna sound cool
Me after the melody: *Pure Happiness*
Half time does a great job too!
And then add manual tweaks to finish
Force à toi frérot ✅
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.
El after 🔥🔥
Thank you
Dude went from beats, to melodies, to Medley's
Nice boss teach more
Cool trick
U can jus do this manually n use ur ears n revision to figure out what sounds best
it's truly hilarious how much effort this is as opposed to simply having someone actually play it
I mean I did a tutorial on it in less than 60 seconds, and in practice it takes a quarter of that time. That's 15 seconds, not much effort... especially not a "hilarious" amount of effort
Velocity is pretty important for emphasis.
Nice
WHAT IS THAT MELODY?!?!
The ones that know how to play piano live: 🍷
The after part sounds softer than before
First step : get Fl Studio
First step: get the crack😊
@@meetchauhan6246First step: get the demo version😊
@@meetchauhan6246its too easy man
@@meetchauhan6246 show us the way
I don't use flstudio but on lmms I do what you do with the velocity and I play with the sound curve lol
valuable
But who does that live? Is the guy running the sound board moving the faders up and down like crazy? Come one now😂😂
I'm taking sample of this piano 😂
😂😂
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
My homie semi
Wow + drums with swing 🤑🤑
✨or just play it live✨
I made a beat using this❤
I can also achieve similar effects by playing the notes in With a midi keyboard
A fellow Jasper!!!
I'm that psychopath who tweaks every note individually
Minecraft soundtracks be like:
I honestly prefer the before one XD
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
I’m all set
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
First sounded better. More organic and I liked the wobbly effect.
Thanks
i like the first one better
Can you try n-track studio I want a tutorial
Much better
The only difference is that the second one sounded muffled.
first sounded like 10x better lmao
Yes 😂
No.. you wizard!
Real chads adjust each notes' velocity manually >:)
Haha nice arpeggios xD
From ost to kinda sad
In reaper you can do that by press one button
FL just got a humanize option a while ago.
But dude, how's did this when it's on BandLab?☺️🙏🏻
Or just manually.change the velocity which will always sound better
Am i the only one who thinks the first one sounded better…
It's very lofi
... that's very subtle
that's the point, small changes go a long way in music production
What song is playing in the background?😭🔥

whe will never know what to do then
Thx
Why isn't there a musical note upstairs like you are next to the horseshoe?
Or better yet, record it in 😁
Green Montana le premier accord si y a des français 😂
I can hear the difference, and I honestly think that the unadjusted one sounds better

Sounds like minecraft disc
Won't make your melody actually sound interesting though, that's the real lesson from this short.
Sounds like a minecraft song
