    Man is killin' the game. So much value. Would love to see a Porches video. Something simlilar to "I Miss That". His vocal processing style is very interesting and I haven't seen anyone really capture his style in a tutorial ever.

      Thank you, Andrew! That’s a really cool song and I think it’d be fun to try something like that. I’ll give it a shot! Thanks for the suggestion!

    Another great song - I'm a big fan of Men I Trust too. For those asking about chords, I think its something along these lines
    Intro/Chorus: Emaj7 A#m7b5 G#m Amaj7 x2 end on Emaj7 to go to verse
    Verse: B A G#m7 Gmaj7 A x2
    Outro: Gmaj7 F#m7 B

    I love your vocal timbre. As soon as you add doubles I'm instantly swept away to Elliot Smithville. Love it! Also, I feel like the band next door is like the recurring "eye-rolly" neighbor archetype from a sitcom or something. I chuckle every time. Great vid!

      Thank you, Joel! I appreciate that! Haha yeah, I thought it would be cool if I did some skits with them and they would be those characters I would knock on their door and complain to and we would have these little back and forth confrontations. Sit-com style skits. But, I mean, I don’t know them nor have I’ve ever seen what they look like. The idea in my head is pretty funny though haha!

    This band Men I Trust reminds me of Ivy (RIP Adam Schlesinger) a little. btw, really need want to see the mix process (a few more times).

    • @bananalabs
      @bananalabs  3 года назад

      I don’t think I’ve come across Ivy before- At least not to my knowledge. I was thinking about doing separate videos for that. The video would be way too long if I incorporated the entire process. And according to my RUclips analytics, most people are only watching 2-3mins of the videos🤷🏻‍♂️

    • @jasonk125
      @jasonk125 3 года назад +1

      @@bananalabs I tried to post a link to Ivy's spotify, but I guess RUclips doesn't like that. Anyway, I hope more people watch for longer. You have a great channel here.

    @jasonk125 3 года назад +1

    Just in time! I was going into withdrawal...
    btw, you seem to prefer placing samples on the timeline rather than using a (free) drum sampler like Sitala. Care to explain?

    • @bananalabs
      @bananalabs  3 года назад

      Haha ✊🏻 I feel like I have more control when I drag and drop each drum sample into individual tracks so that I have a better options with post production/mixing.

    • @jasonk125
      @jasonk125 3 года назад +1

      @@bananalabs I can understand that. When I use Sitala in Reaper, It automatically sets up routing for all the samples (16 extra tracks) which is overkill most of the time. On the other hand, testing/swapping out a kick drum on the fly is quite quick.

    • @bananalabs

    mit bass lines are more melodic/percussive. Perhaps more funk influenced in that regard and a big shaper of the overall sound imo. This song gives me more mac d and newer beach house vibes (if vocal formant kicked down a notch ). Still a good tune tho 👍

      If you go to preferences, then to audio, there’s a column where you can adjust the latency.

    can you explain the thought process behind your chord choices pls

    • @bananalabs
      @bananalabs  2 года назад

      Some of the chords I used for this particular Men I Trust song are influenced by them. That’ll go for all the songs I create on this channel depending on the artists. I’ll do a more in depth explanation in the future videos.
