    It's a good idea to make little 30s loops when you want to get busy and quickly get a drinkable result but I'm sorry for me music has to tell a story. You have to want to take the listener into a universe that conveys visual emotions. Imagine someone crossing the savannah to get to the waterfall. The waterfall is the beginning of the break. You have to know where you want to go, not just hit 5 notes in the scale. One thing that's helped me a lot is tools like scaler 2 or hookpad that let me easily get the chords I have in my head without going through 400 hours of theory.

    Never understood why Ableton doesnt show the auto filter move when you turn on that lfo of the same device.... makes it hard to 'read' the status.

    • @JaguarPanda

      That, and a way to reset the filter lfo progression would be very handy, even if you disable it and re-enable, it's progression continues where it stopped.

    Next day I´m excited as f*** and show the song to my girlfriend and already during the first seconds i want to undo it, because her facial expression and also the song are now strangely the opposite of what i felt a few hours earlier when listening to it. i

    What makes your videos so unique are those little tips in between. Also: It is so much fun to see you flying through the possibilities of Ableton; there are always more options to get a result. And there is more: It``s great to see you having fun; well; i can feel that :) Since i edit video since the beginning 80s i fly with AVID in a similar virtuous way ... One question: Until now i could not find a way to configure the keyboard, reprogram it, putting some functions or shortcuts on other keys on the keyboard ... Is there really no way to do that so i have to learn the shortcuts from Ableton??

  • @OfficiallyMaidenless
    @OfficiallyMaidenless 10 месяцев назад +8

    I take a few issues with this, although the tips shown here are REALLY valuable.
    First problem I have is that the "groove" that you made is 4 loops taken from a sample pack, which in my opinion is a bad way to start a song. Of course it depends on the style you're producing, but usually the melody is the thing that gets stuck in people's heads, and is most remembered. Without a strong melody, there's no song, even HUMBLE by Kendrick is like 3 notes arranged in a memorable way.
    All those melody loops that we use start off as just that, a melody which the beat should then be supporting. Not the other way around, and I think getting into the habit of making a beat before there's an actual song there is potentially very detrimental to new producers. In genres like house, that means 90% of their songs are based around a 4 on the floor beat, rather than actually being songs with a distinct personality, and leaves VERY little room to actually carve your own sound out.
    I'll definitely be taking some of the advice from this video, I just hope that newer producers don't all take this route.....or maybe they should so the rest of us stand out more 😈 lol jk

    I like this way of creating additional melodic components but at the end of the day you still have a 16bar loop with no progression. Getting from THAT to a full track is the really hard part imo.

    Interesting but I think those not that great at Ableton might get confused, Reasons Comp mode is probably a better way to do the same thing. For Me I'd rather just load the samole chops into a sampler and map across the keyboard in the correct key, MPC style.

  • @BaltimoreReese
    @BaltimoreReese 11 месяцев назад

    Great tips, but you’ve done the same video a couple of time now. It’s all great and appreciated but what about the main lead or main theme of the track. These beds are great to have but get repetitive very quickly

    • @wapbamboogie7213
      @wapbamboogie7213 10 месяцев назад +2

      I agree that he’s illustrated the same end result a few times now but they’ve all been different techniques. In any case, teaching how to hack a melody and chord progression is next to impossible as it’s one of the few bits of music making that you can’t skip the practice for. It’s just hard. You can copy good sounding chord progressions to a DAW and practice writing a melody over the top and you could well strike gold, but to do it reliably is one of the holy grails of music writing, regardless of genre.
