    In this episode of sound architect we are going over my song "Cheat Codes" to see how every musician, singer, producer, and songwriter should arrange their songs using the usual building blocks such as Verses, Choruses, Vamps, Pre-Choruses (Leans), & bridges to tell the most effective story and portray a message in a way that is not boring to the listener. Song structure is one of the higher most important things when trying to figure out the layout of how things will playout (BARS..) because it is directly correlated with the progression of whatever story you're trying to tell. So whether you're making a song or you're learning how to arrange a beat these simple guides can help you in figuring out how to write your music in a way that satisfies the story which helps your song communicate the message more effectively to the listener.

      @@IAMLXGEND Interludes are a crucial part of songwriting. When used correctly, they can not only connect two radically different thoughts or moods in a song but even on an album as a whole. Like we mentioned earlier, interludes are not just used in a song but they can be used in albums as well. They are generally not full-length songs and are shorter in duration than the rest of the tracks in an album.
      Think of these as hidden tracks that the artist has carefully crafted into a song or an album. These will appear at the very end and can even be preceded by complete silence so the listener is in for a pleasant surprise.
      In Nirvana’s ‘Nevermind’, one expects the album to end after ‘Something In The Way’, but after a few seconds of complete silence, a new track ‘Endless, Nameless’ appears.

    • @IAMLXGEND
      @IAMLXGEND  4 года назад

      I don’t know anything about all those technical specifications. I don’t pay attention to that. I feel it’s an over-complication. Headphones I use are audio technica m50x. I’m assuming you’re asking if it’s possible to use wireless ones, yes but there may be lag.

    Does song structures count on a album 💿 aka album tracklisting and also album 💿 tracks and also does segue count continue without stopping you know does segue count during song structures happening and also does segue count even though that the album 💿 songs are on a album 💿 tracklisting and also album 💿 tracks and they are both considered to be song structures too like example radiation and suffocate are both song structure songs and also appearing in the album tracking and also both album 💿 songs but also can segue aka continue without stopping as album 💿 tracks?

      Stop.
      There are people who aren’t born with the ability to make music or play piano. But they go to school and learn to do it. And become very good at it. Some Better than people “born to do this”. And yet here you are generalizing people saying if you’d not have the ability to write a song from birth, you’re not meant to make music. Ugliest mindset I’ve ever seen.
