    Lyrics:
    I've been tryna call
    I've been on my own for long enough
    Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe
    I'm going through withdrawals
    You don't even have to do too much
    You can turn me on with just a touch, baby
    I look around and Sin City's cold and empty
    No one's around to judge me
    I can't see clearly when you're gone
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
    I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
    Oh, when I'm like this, you're the one I trust
    Hey, hey, hey
    I'm running out of time
    'Cause I can see the sun light up the sky
    So I hit the road in overdrive, baby
    Oh, the city's cold and empty
    No one's around to judge me
    I can't see clearly when you're gone
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
    I said, ooh, I'm drowning in the night
    Oh, when I'm like this
    You're the one I trust
    I'm just walking by to let you know
    I can never say it on the phone
    Will never let you go this time
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch
    Hey, hey, hey
    Hey, hey, hey
    I said, ooh, I'm blinded by the lights
    No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch

    It’s May 2021, Covid-19 vaccine was out 6 months ago, everything is looking normal again, you get home after school or work, after a shower you lay down and open RUclips, you realize that Rockstar it’s trending, you open their latest video and this beat starts playing introducing the logo of GTA VI and the words “Welcome to Vice City”, as the trailer goes on the beat fades out showing a blank screen with the words “Coming September 17” in it. Life is good.

    • @FlickFlag
      @FlickFlag 3 года назад +4

      Wishful, but unlikely.
      GTA V's trailer released in Nov, 2011 -- but the game didn't release until September, 2013.
      Red Dead Redemption II's trailer released October, 2016 -- but the game didn't release until October, 2018.
      GTA VI has only been in primary development for two years since the release of Red Dead II, and it took five years to make Red Dead II following the release of GTA V. So suffice to say even if we did get a teaser trailer next year (likely), the game won't release for another few years at best.

    Bruh, stupid question but i’m new to ableton: how did u change the synth to the bass progression at 0:44 without changing settings on the Akai?

    • @WesWinder
      @WesWinder  4 года назад +526

      Bram Slootmans Not a stupid question at all! It’s subtle, but if you look reeeally closely, you’ll notice I’m twisting one of the knobs in the top right. I have that knob mapped to an instrument rack in ableton that has one empty device chain for each instrument track in my project file. The Akai MIDI is being sent to this rack, and the knob determines which chain the MIDI is sent to, then I map the MIDI from each unique chain to a unique track (ex: chain 1 = bass, chain 2 = pads, chain 3 = lead, etc). So in this example the bass track has its “MIDI From” section set to the track which has the rack with all the chains. And then in the second drop down under “MIDI From” I select the chain I want to pull the MIDI from, so each instrument track pulls MIDI from a different rack chain. I know this probably sounds insane, it’s very hard to explain over text...but you or anyone reading this can feel free to add me on Instagram @weswinder and shoot me a DM. I can probably send you some pics or a video explaining it quickly!

    I think I like this more than the original ! ;-). However, it would be completely awesome if you could do a walk-through, so that beginners could follow. You would be 1. Getting people interested in making music 2. Getting them confident with Ableton Live 3. Inspiring people to come up with their own tunes based on your teachings. I like many others, who have commented, would love to emulate this. Here's hoping. At least could you share you modded sound files and music, to give us a chance - Cheers :-) ... and well done, it's amazing !

      I really do want to put out a live looping tutorial at some point. It’s just a matter of figuring out how to explain it the best. So it might take some time since I want to make it good!
