Very informative. I have studied music theory for years but still come away with something new I can apply. These lessons have actionable steps that a person can take and gives the reasoning behind it in a very clear and concise way so that the concepts can be applied to different situations. Great teaching and great video!
Yeah Underbelly is a deceptively great teacher. I've been using Ableton exclusively for over a decade, and almost every video of his I watch there's something I actually remember after watching. Like simple shit that I have heard people tell me to use 1000x that for whatever reason just never stuck in my head. For example the duplicate button. Yeah idk why but I never used it. I've been duplicating and consolidating clips for over a decade, but this dude is the one who makes this stick in my brain. Why? Absolutely no clue... Maybe it's because making people feel stupid for not knowing things is a better way to get them to remember things than explaining why it's useful... Regardless, this channel is more useful to me than pretty much any other production channel. With the sole exception of Kush After Hours with UBK. Something about that dudes calm, soft spoken demeanor lends itself well to teaching, and he's also a world class engineer/hardware designer. For real though this channel is the best thing I've come across, especially for basic concepts that are consistently skimmed over by even some of the best PAID production/songwriting classes, courses and videos.
It’s something a lot of people who teach things don’t understand; you need to be able to apply the logic to other scenarios. Most people say stuff like ‘okay so use this exact plugin, moves these knobs this way no you’ll get this exact sound’ but don’t really go into why or how that works.
Newest discovery and this is pure musical / comedic gold. So much attention to detail and value. WOWZERS! I’ve never laughed so much whilst learning to program drums. No more lofi boys
dude your tongue-in-cheek almost patronizing style of teaching combined with the constant jokes makes you one of the best teachers ive encountered on youtube lmao. my ADHD really appreciates the extra style you add
Not only informative , but excellently executed, with written guidelines when most necessary+ actually showing in away one can see - where what goes and when. I want to study with you 🙏🏼
This is the best series ever! Cant wait for more of your stuff! Cool thing being, i can already make something decent and not shit over the whole bar and snort it with my ear
bro best teaching style hahaha I would have stuck with composing at uni if my instructors made it interesting like this...instead I switched to computer science and now am getting back to music as a hobby. Great stuff!
1:33 This is probably my favorite video of yours. I was programming some drums earlier and it came to mind. "Bencil." Fuck yeah. Keep on rockin', everyone.
damn, this channel is exactly what i wanted, healthy spoon of sarcasm and explaining ewrything to me like to debil. Thank you dude, my drums sucks less now !
Another top teir tutorial! I'm new to ableton from reaper, could you please explain the session vs arrangement view and how they interact? Like with different clips, tranferring them without overwriting whats already in your arrangement....just can't wrap my head around it and i cant find a straight forward video or answers from googling myself anywhere. Your knowledge is invaluable, keep up the good work!
I'm not trying to be "that guy" but have you read the manual? Often times I end up in same situation, looking around in various internet resources and not finding an answer, but then I look in the manual and it's been there the whole time. Is the situation that your talking about that you've created something in session view and you want to transfer it to arrangement view but you already have things recorded in arrangement view?
@@NN-sp9tu You can't. Note values are relative, not absolute. We can say that 8th notes are twice as fast as quarter notes, and 16th notes are twice as fast as 8th notes. But what exactly is a quarter note? Honestly, you just need to decide it yourself. There is really no difference between 8th notes in 5/8 and quarter notes in 5/4. But there are certain conventions that written music follows. Usually 5/8 is used when you feel the music more in two than in five (meaning that the pulse in 5 is so fast that you don't really hear each pulse as a beat if that make sense). 5/4 is used when you actually feel the music in five (you would count it as 1 2 3 4 5 instead of 1+ 2++, or 1++ 2+). 5/16 isn't really used as a stand-alone time signature. It would basically suggest a measure with one beat that's subdivided into 5. But something like 10/16 or 15/16 could be useful. 10/16 has two main beats subdivided into 5 - basically, it's 2/4 with quintuplets. 15/16 would be three main beats subdivided into 5 (3/4 with quintuplets). In other words, /8 and /16 time signatures are usually used when the pulse is felt as the subdivision (the difference between /8 and /16 is that /8 is used when each beat gets 2 or 3 subdivisions, and /16 is used when each beat gets 4-7 subdivisions). /4 is used when the pulse is felt as the beat. This isn't an absolute rule, but it is how these time signatures are most commonly used. If you aren't notating music, then the bottom number doesn't really matter. You can write exactly the same thing with twice as fast note values, and nothing will change if you adjust the tempo accordingly. Quarter notes at 120 bpm sound the same as 8th notes at 60 bpm.

Ladies and gentleman we've got a marvel of education here. Wowsers!
For reeeeeeeeal … who in the ffffff is this actually for? Do we need content this desperately?
@@skbevila bro you know drum beats are mad hard for some people right?
@@skbevilaFor beginner independent producers like me.
@@skbevilauhh for me?? This is only vid i found online explaining WHY we put notes where they are

Finally… im tired of going to tutorials that dont explain WHY we place the notes where we do. This helps a lot. Thank you man. Great stuff
B for Bunderbelly as Bresident of Brums.

This guy is the Bob Ross of production. Also the Bob Ross of being romantically involved with my mom.
Hello, i'm Bob Ross, how are things dear?
Literally my favorite production channel
Come for the music, stay for the personality. You rock!
Perfect timing I was just making some shitty drums
Newest discovery and this is pure musical / comedic gold. So much attention to detail and value. WOWZERS! I’ve never laughed so much whilst learning to program drums. No more lofi boys
Your tutorials are underrated. I'm only halfway but I gotta say WOW. What an awesome way to make us understand! Thank you very much!!
Hey the drum sample set link is empty. Did you find another source for it somewhere else?
めっちゃわかりやすいです！

Thank God for this channel
Wicked tutorial, your teaching method gets the lesson across and keeps it fun.
This guy is great. The fact I'm learning as much as I'm laughing.

0:34 plays groove in 5/4 lmao
I have a beginner music question. How can you differentiate betw 5/4 and 5/8 or 5/16 without seeing it written down? Thanks
@@NN-sp9tu sometimes it's just easier to count 8 instead of 4. Really depends on the song and it's bpm.
