the dopest gringo in the whole of the united states of america has returned.
some people are just born teachers...
You forget to to add natural
You earned my sub brother, I'm impressed at how you break down sophisticated stuff into understandable segments
I've learned everything I know about music theory from your channel, and I don't know how I feel about it. I am grateful you exist. I don't know who you are, or what your life is like, but know you made an impact on someone.
Not sure how I got here, but this is one of the best videos I've ever watched. You make learning fun and cynical, which is my stylem. subbed
we listen to you religiously because you are a mega super teacher of LIVE 12.. thank you again
Thank God someone is putting in the effort to teach these basic concepts.
All formally educated musical snarkiness aside, so many aspiring musicians and producers have *no idea* what these concepts are and how to use them to better understand not just music as a whole, but their own creativity.
In the same way that language is liberating, as is music.
You are more free to explore yourself through music, the better a grasp you have on the foundations of music.
Starting that time signature playlist with hey ya is the meanest thing I've ever seen
tried it....im scared im right hoping im wrong lmao but im guessing 11/8 ???
Waw, i never managed to understand that. You are the first one to explain it so clearly!!!!
I Guess I Suck-Less at Drums Now🙃🤷🏾♂️ I think this was the Less-SuckieEST video Explaining Music Timing. Absolutely Great Video UnderBelly‼️I hate it ABSOLUTELY Super-Duper Less
The examples combined with snarky humor and quirky edits really kept me engaged in the content. I can't believe I understood what was taught. Thank you Sir!
Bless you man. Was trying to break down some tango
New YSAP video lets goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Thank you for posting again, father. I have learned many a lesson on this day.
No waaaaaaaaaay, here we go, ok wowzers !!!
great video, we've been missing you!!
You are amazing!! Every time I wath your videos I go "Wowzers!"
To teach how something is a sign of someone knowledgeable. To teach why something is a sign of wisdom. This guy wisdoms. Also thank god i chocked on grilled cheese and not tea next to me when you hit us w “wowzers this is the best beat i ever heard on metronome” 😂
your words hurt me in the best way
In middle east, there is 9/8, 7/8 5/8 etc. time signatures. If you interest with the time signatures you should look in middle east too.
So many cultures have different rhythms and time signatures compared to the Americanized "western" rhythms of pop music.
There's more to music than 12 tone music theory as well.
There are many cultures that use notes that exist INBETWEEN 2 piano keys.
A and A#? There's a ton of notes in between there that other cultures use.
Semi tones and polymeters are dope and all over the planet.
@@SeanLaMontagne I'm livin in Turkey bro i know micro tonal notes and they are WAYYY MUCH difficult than 12 notes. These drives me crazy.....
First time I ever understood time signatures and it was hilarious 😂😂😂😂😂
Great tutorial! Love your style. Great info. Clear instruction with a great sense of humor. Subbed.
the universe needs this video out of billion videos of time signature
love you man....i want to proudly say that i want to suck less at drums
Wait hold on, is that why movies started with a count down? I know the first "talkies" had to have their sounds played live so was it to help the live bands count in for their pieces?
awesome video, i love your work bruvva
I feel stupid every time I watch one of his videos
well explained
Thank you!
I always think about how bad I suck at time signatures hopefully this helps
Wow it’s so simple
BALLIN
7:43 /Users/KOPOBA/Desktop… KOPOBA is cow in russian written in russian letters ))) Underbelly, do you speak russian? And there is file name 6:8. And sample is 6/8 time signature )))
Noisia's like... Halcyon👀👀
i Love you
M A S T E R !!!
Ouch that intro lol. Ive got 70gb of barely touched ableton stock samples.
“For Your Health”
What about 69/4 at 20bpm?
make this beat and prepare for fame.
stoner hentai core
Why bother with 6/8 if you might as well go 3/4?
When the world needed him most… 🙌🏼
He never left my guy.
@@kitspapp But he was only doing streams, not the fun little tutorial videos that made me gravitiate towards him in the first place, so to me this is the return
For real I needed this content
You can clearly see that he truly enjoys making this tutorials. They're so good and funny
I missed your tutorials so much. Your snarky humor, me feeling stupid. I really do suck at producing! That's great :D. Learned so much. Maybe I can be the next Skrillex in my 7/4 signature :).
I know money by floyd is 7/8. For that most famous of bass lines in the verses. Then it switches to 4/4 for the solos.
Skrill that ex!
I thought that was going to be too low-level and wanted to look just for the fun of it. But I was wrong: What you say about how to detect the "second number" is quite helpful! So I'm looking forward to the next episode, thanks for making these tutorials!
You're the only one who managed to explain what the second number actually means, it was driving me mad! Thank you so much :)
"Time signatures are very simple. It's this many of this kind of note in a bar." But then you realize that that tells you nothing about what song is in what time.
Producing for over 7 years and no one explained these concepts better.
Wonderbelly: What time signature would this be?
Filename: 6/8.wav
Me: No idea
You could get away with calling it 12/8
could be a 3/2
You making me feel like a little kid in the best possible way.
like a little boy being hugged by a priest?
Uncle Joe will be happy to hear this!
Uncle Joe face reveal!
I recommend pressing the key "3" repeatedly. Gets funnier the more you do it.
Man I suck!
Beats, Bars, Battlestar Galactica.
Excited for the rest of this series, even if it means having to endure more unison midi chord pack advertisements
Lmao those are so annoying
Amazing!!! Great teachers know it's not about what they know but how they share it with others. Thank you!!! Wish I had found this looooong ago!
Does anyone know where can I get the DIDDILY DIDDILY song or what notes/chords make up that song? I can't find it in Abelton. Thx!
This is the best explanation i have found yet for the witchcraft reffered to as time signatures.
thanks for this great video and say hi to uncle joe
This is the kind of spoon fed speak to me like I’m an idiot content I need! Great stuff
every time you say 'wowzers' my life expectacy increases
Praise the Lord Jesus Christ now and forever!! Thank you sir for this sick tutorial. You are hilarious and very helpful to a noobie like me.
We need thiss😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺
Uncle Joe finally gave a mic stand?! And oh, what's that, a clip-on mic?! You getting dandy there
p.s.: I see your affinity for Rode mics, I agree they're amazing
We need u! Take care of u or write all your stuff down or make copys for us safe for the next world!
Ohhhhhhhh yesssssss
wowzers i exactly said to myself i needed to learn about this thing and here it is, delivered on a silver plate. Thanks yo !
the head nodding part slayed me. 😭
As someone who uses a Tracker to make music, this is like an alien language to me.
I thought the Cheat Sheet would give me answers! I'm sitting here, having given up, scrolling through articles on google to find the time signature of Hey Ya! and this is impossible
yeah ahahaha, i wish he wouldve given answers. i wrote it all out on my notebook like a test and i wanted to grade myself 😭😭😭
Your videos make me feel like I'm starring in a Nickelodeon comedy show where I'm a student attending a producing class at my elite performing arts high school
Dude, i love your videos, such a great way of explaining thing so it isn't too dry sounding. I'm working on a new tune watching your tutorials for each step.
I guess I really do suck at producing
i love you
thank you very mutch this will help me alot
so. is a 6/8 in 75bpm the same thing as a 6/4 in 150bpm? I'm confused
8th notes in 6/8 (at 75bpm) will be the same speed as quarter notes in 6/4 (at 175 bpm). Assuming your click is still quarter notes.
Which one you decide on for that song is up to you, based on how you want it to look.
The difference is where you decide the bar ends. It might look better on paper, and be easier to put a click to with either time signature depending on the situation.
For example, a guy I worked with wrote a bar of 5/8 and a bar of 3/8 next to each other...... Thats just 4/4 right? 😂 but the groove he was writing FELT better when it was cut up into those uneven chunks. And it was WAYYYY easier to read for the drummers and understand what was on the page.
Personally, if its a FAST song in 6/4, I'd probably just write it as 6/8 and call it a day.
Even if you adjust the written tempo to sound the exact same in 6/8 as it did when you had it in 6/4, thats really just to help it look better on paper, or feel better organized, along with how you want the click to line up.
Typically quarter note based time signatures are felt slower than 8th notes based ones. Not always! That is just an observation, not a rule.
The song Money by Pink Floyd is in 7/4 for most of it. Those beats feel slower than most songs in 7/8.
Like you could tap your foot to all 7 beats.
But 7/8 is usually a faster feel, if you try tapping your foot to the quarter note, but since there's only 3 and a half quarter notes in a 7/8 bar, you'll feel like the bars are abnormally short. Which is a cool feeling of "tripping over yourself" and falling into the next bar before anyone else is ready 😂.
A ton of composers use 7/8 to feel uneasy, fast, and chaotic.
Afterall, if every bar for an entire song feels *just barely* too shorter, that makes for a really unique song/piece.
John Mackey used 7/8 in a piece about a house fire, and it worked great because, in the same way that you feel panicked and like you don't have enough time to think before the next thing happens in a fire, the bars felt the same, and thus the entire piece felt like you were in a house fire.
Time signatures can do more than just establish beats, but can also completely set a mood.
"Our bar is five beets long"👌🤣
I absolutely love this. Super helpful, explained in a simple and very understandable way. Great video!
Arriving here in 2024, a 50s something moving my drum learning from Guitar Hero to playing in a real band. Thank you, who knew learning music theory could be fun!
Amazing explanation, thanks for the help 👍
Bars is where now people gather and get covid
I love your style of teaching. Making a grown man smile and chuckle while learning. Thank you for the wonderful lesson.
This is the only video that explains that wretched second number in a time signature in a way that I understand. I know: that's because I know dick 'bout music and suck at producing but if helps me then it might just help you too, ha ha. Thanks Mr. Underbelly from 'You Suck At Producing'. 😉
Wowzers! Creamed pretty hard to this absolute Chad of a man!
Keep em coming, big boy 👌
Precious knowledge explain in funny way =best link ever 🙏🏿🙏🏿✨✨
Zooming in on the clothing tag. Hahaha
This is the only source on the internet that actually explains time signatures rather than just saying "it's this many notes of this kind in a bar durrrrr"
Trying to make Uncle Joe Proud... Dude you are a trip I can't stop watching and its making me get stuff I overlooked ing the past PROPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wowzers :-)
I never got into time signature in FL because they hid it inside the project setting 😂
But it may help Me come out with better loops ( triplets is popular now)
They didn't hid it into they project setting you can set it on your main playlisty or midi pattern by using shft +ctrl + T.
Thanks for great demonstration, you explained it very well.
👍👍💯/ 💯..... the "mad Chico State" professor was the 1st one I saw, WTF?????? makes sense now.
beets, bars, Battlestar Galactica
I’ve taken guitar class and you explained time signatures 100x faster, so glad I’ve got a dope ass music teacher 🙌🏻
Write that down write that down
When composing in 6/8 timing in a DAW should I be usingt a 4 bar loop like 4/4 timing is usually default?
I dont think i suck at drums but. Watching this as if i dont will help me iron out more of my kinks and finetune my drumming further.
Beets per bar😂...genius!!!
Exactly what I was looking for...I think.
Thanks dude, now I can beat off in rhythm to the new eprom track
OMG ! Like this video a lot..The explaination along with the fun is awesome.. You nailed it !
So good lmao I don't even produce I just like your humor and was able to deduct the 6/8 off the bat. Salutation Underbelly
Needed this god bless you 🙏🏾
Really enjoyed this one! Huge! 👏
For practice, listen to "Golden Brown" by 'The Stranglers' and try to find the time signature!
