      @mpchead I agree, your space is beautiful, not need for these pesky little foams.
      I think some nice carpets and maybe some tapestry would do the job better.
      Nowadays you can find also some nicer looking panels without the egg crate pattern on them.Maybe look into these ones.
      You obviously don't want to create a dead space but a touch of soundproofing would be nice

    Este é o conteúdo certo. Há uma falta enorme deste tipo de conversas "desregradas" meio "workshop/brainstorm" em que a coisa passa por uma conversa livre e amistosa mas concreta sem que se torne "faz assim ou assado". Sempre procurei este tipo de coisas (ex: para mim o vídeo que fizeste há uns anos acerca do tipo de cortes continua a ser o melhor vídeo de sampling na plataforma pelo insight livre que proporciona) porque além de ser interessante não é o tipo de hobbie mainstream com que se possa trocar ideias com muitos amigos e tu consegues contornar isso na perfeição. Mas no RUclips há uma noção muito específica daquilo que é um "tutorial" e 99% segue esse modelo - possivelmente também por culpa de quem vê. E acaba por ficar rasteiro, porque dar cortes num som é sempre o mesmo, mais botão menos botão, independentemente do sampler. Muita gente confunde a execução/manobra do equipamento com a motivação/intenção que precede o método e tem pouca paciência para simplesmente conversar e fugir ao genérico. Acho que tu brilhas particularmente nesse aspecto porque transmites uma energia de músico apaixonado que gosta de falar do que faz ao invés de seres um tipo que por acaso faz beats para produzir vídeos. E parece-me que nesta nova etapa do estúdio aberto ao público vais ver muita gente que tem interesse em trocar ideias precisamente pelo que mostras. Não para te copiar, não porque querem ser iguais, mas sim porque é simplesmente porreiro falar de abordagens, de interpretação, de método. Toda a sorte para os projetos futuros. E continua a trilhar o teu caminho porque claramente tens um conceito diferenciado dos demais.

    • @mpchead
      @mpchead  Год назад +2

      Sem dúvida uma espécie de brainstorm. Até me faz bem esta divagação. Eu detesto dizer às pessoas o que fazer, até porque acredito que o processo deve ser diferente para cada um. Sou apenas um amigo que se senta à mesa com vários beatmakers a conversar de coisas nossas, a única diferença é que tenho um canal. Sou igual a todos e nem mais nem menos, sou só um beatmaker sentado à mesa com vocês. Obrigado, tudo de bom ✌🏼

    Love hearing about this topic! You should do more on this with some specific examples. I really struggle with the low-end part. I don't understand how you pick the samples to fill in the low-end after you've already worked with a sample that covers the mid or high end frequencies. Most of the time I just use a synth to play in a bass line because I can't find any sample that really works for that role.

    Would you make a video on the creative block and how you cope with those periods of lack of motivation? There is that part of the process where you experiment, learn and finally get comfy with the whole process and quality of your beats. I am in that stage where everything seems easy and suddenly, I don't feel any more motivated to produce. This is a hobby to me, so I don't have the economic incentive of keep rolling. Thanks.
