@@orithekidd I've definitely been inspired by Undertale too. I've accidentally made stuff that sounds like Gaster's theme because it's such a simple melody.
It's so cool to have come across thing video and see how my own process is similar to how you make music. It's fun to see because I don't have any friends who are into making game music. Always nice to "meet" people with the same interests
the final product is very noisy, like, everything is playing at the same time with the same intensity and I don't know which melody I should pay more attention to, despite that, you are very good at explaining your process ^^ Keep it up! you are very underrated and you need more people to be interested and help you with your music
Thank you for the feedback! I do agree that it is chaotic and could use some mixing! I've been trying to spend a little more time on the post production side of things
It took me a lot of time to figure out music but I really recommend looking out the basics of music theory. Before entering an unknow terrain I suggest you experiment with music gendres you like and listen a lot!. With that you can hear what its bad in the song because you have heard a lot of song in the same genre. I think you have the right idea but you got kinda exited in doing a full product in one go. Music takes a *lot* of time to figure it out. I suggest to do the gendre your thing and doing small songs with not too mutch instruments, 2 to 3 max. With time you will make those small songs faster and they will sound a lot better, then you will add more instruments when you feel conftable and eventually you will do a full song with a lot of instruments without even realizing!. if you have more questions about music I would be happy to help, I started in music to make my own music for games and I have experience in making music for games(I never finished one but I have had a lot of fun doing them)
Hey, thanks for the extremely detailed comment. When posting this video originally I had NO clue it would get as big as it did and I agree with a lot of the points people were making in the comments. The goal was less of a tutorial and more to show my chaotic personal process to making music. That being said, I've applied a lot of the advice I've gotten from this community and some of my newer track kinda go hard (lol). I still have a lot to learn and the process of making music is always a long one. Thank you for the kind critique and hopefully I can bring some banger tunes (and a music update) to this channel soon!
Thank you for making this video!!! As a classically trained musician myself who's been around other classical musicians for a long time; anybody who gatekeeps music-writing for only people who know extensive theory isn't worth listening to. The track you made for this video was really cool and doing some really harmonically complex things that sounded rad! It's really cool to see your creative process laid out like this, I would love to see an even longer, more in-depth video if that's the kind of thing you want to make. Great vid, instant sub! Looking forward to see what else you make!
Thank you so much! I feel that when I was started out I "had" to know music theory and terms or i was "doing it right" but i think ultimately music should be something fun and enjoyable. It's always nice when classically trained musicians hear my pieces but it helps me gain more insight!
Hardest part for me is making more then one instrument come together, i can make a whole ass rhythm and melody off of one instrument but when i add one more to the mix i struggle,
@@orithekidd i can do lead and main melody, but for some reason the baseline is what i always get stuck on. maybe there are technique's im missing im not sure
Omg I do the same thing! At 1 am I would randomly have a melody in my head and record myself humming the melody Only to butcher the song when trying to recreate it in fl studio
Honestly, great video! But the final product seems a bit off? I'm sure you did try and will do better, but this oke feels a bit busy with the sounds all together, and a vit dissonant/chromatic sometimes. The drums still ended up being a bit too strong and couldn't focus much on the track (Tho that last section was really cool with the choirs!) Overall a bit more space with frequencies, mixing and panning and it can turn very good Keep it up! Good luck on your next projects :)
I was thinking the same thing. I'll probably mess around with the melody a bit more by the time the game is done, but I do want something to still give off that "boss" feeling.
Hands down reaper, it might not look good but it has so many free themes which make it look like whatever daw u want. Its like Winrar, you can use it for free forever and they just ask you to buy it.
Thank you for identifying your own shortcomings, it humanizes you and makes me want to be easier on myself. Making music is HARD
Making music is SUPER hard! But getting feedback has helped me improve immensely.
@@orithekidd It is Really fookin hard
@@Blowitch Hell yea it is, but don't give up!
Video game music is what inspired me to make music myself. One of songs i made that i really enjoyed making was inspired by Sonic music.
I got really into video game music after playing Undertale! Though the music in sonic goes insanely hard!
@@orithekidd I've definitely been inspired by Undertale too. I've accidentally made stuff that sounds like Gaster's theme because it's such a simple melody.
@@Artilliox Oh god the amount of times I've made songs that sound like other things is INSANE! lol
@@orithekidd IKR? I made a song using the Genny plugin and my friend said it sounded like something straight out of the original Doom
I've also been heavily inspired by Sonic music with my own music
I have no clue how to make music for my games, so seeing your perspective and insights are really helpful.
Im glad I could help!
Pure chaos man, hurts the ear to be honest but still respect the process
Thanks for the honest critique! I’ve definitely improved a lot since this video and making efforts to hone my craft!

Always glad to share! I'm not a professional musician by any means, but the critique and feedback I've gotten on this video has really been helpful!
All I need is a DnB beat, violin+pass and a high pitched grand piano
the final product is very noisy, like, everything is playing at the same time with the same intensity and I don't know which melody I should pay more attention to, despite that, you are very good at explaining your process ^^

Nice one man I'm trying to become a Game Creator, Seeing Videos like your inspired me how to create music for my Future games.
I wish you luck on your journey! Don't give up!
This is a great video. Excited to see where this is going.
:D
amazing man, thanks for the inspiration
Of course! Glad to help!
4:05 is the end of the 'but before we start' stuff and the beginning of the music-making.
Damm looking back I had no clue I took 4 mins lol. Thank god for chapters
Underrated! This helped me so much, new subscriber gained
Glad I could help!
nice and explained very well
Thank you!

That’s something I struggled with for a long time. Just keep at it and eventually things will come together!

We've all been there lol. I have a million melodies hummed in my phone XD
I'm the drum section, I swore you were about to Rickroll is. It started just like it, but it didn't, and I found it amusing.
People keep thinking I was going to rickroll XD. I do have SOME restraint
Honestly, great video! But the final product seems a bit off?

Thank you! I do want to rework this theme with all of the feedback I've been getting and see if I could improve the mix
No way you like to listen to Audace too!
9:19 I thought I was getting Rick Rolled for a second.
I didn't even notice the drums are somewhat similar XD
Nice tutorial, tho!
This sounds like an epic boss battle 11:50
Then I've done my job :p
Where can I uhhh listen to that
I have yet to post it somewhere lol I need to get on it
i honestly feel like the drums are kinda unneeded in this song. they seem to get in the way of the bounciness of your melody :)
I was thinking the same thing. I'll probably mess around with the melody a bit more by the time the game is done, but I do want something to still give off that "boss" feeling.
helpful! thank you!
No problem! Glad I could help!
this video is sick why does it only have 160 views
Thank you for watching :D
Great video!
Thank you!
Which is the best free software for music ?
Depends. If you have a mac you can't go wrong with garageband. I actually made a video going over great free software!
Hands down reaper, it might not look good but it has so many free themes which make it look like whatever daw u want. Its like Winrar, you can use it for free forever and they just ask you to buy it.
@@orithekidd ableton live for me
@@orithekidd btw nice music how long have you been making it for
@@MCFactsReal I've only been making music for about a year and a half now!
00:32 what kind of video effect is this?
It's called "Basic 3D" in premiere pro! VERY useful effect
@@orithekidd Thanks!
Nice video, I do game music too :)
Oh nice! I actually checked your channel out. Love the space fight track. Real funky vibes!
@@orithekidd thank you :) I’ve got a real good one coming up
My ears are fucked. I need playboi carti.
Honestly the final product doesnt sound very good
Well hey, I can only get better! ;)
just need some mixing

Oh yeah my copy is legal! I just know some people prefer the seven seas! ;)
