This plugin is so powerful and deep, it’s ridiculous. Bought it the other day and there is so much to learn.
That definitely does not sound like a guitar originally. It definitely has its uses, but only a few resembled real guitar. Still a cool vst and can sound good today in many genres. Coming from a guitar player and producer, mostly hip hop.
It sounds very "midi" to me. Could have used with some actual guitar loops that are played by a guitarist instead of midi sequences.
It’s actually how you program it. You need to humanize the midi and it’s great.
Is there much opportunity for Metal music and heavier rock in sync liscencing?
What’s your opinion of a music library owning 100% of the master?
It weirds me out, but my buddy says he doesn’t care because it’s his music getting out there and he still owns the publishing.
Great explanation provided Will. Had some work picked up many years ago but wasn't sure if the landscape had changed. Thank you
Great video man! I did notice at 4:10 that 2 tracks started to play at the same time but otherwise thanks for the tips!
Is Songtrust a good business consult company for best methods when filling out the Ascap registration?

if this link is still around for this plugin I will love to try it thanks a bunch....
send link please
Awesome
We lift by lifting others I know one day God will make my music be heard I love listening to others music I don’t know if they do same Only God knows
Real! ))) Nice !)) Thanks and GOD blesss !
I would have been able to listen to the whole thing if it wasn't for the chewing
The bread syncs perfectly with the og Roblox theme
Forgot to mute background when talking about sync alliance, had to turn the volume down and skip… appreciate your videos as always
What if you want to do only instrumentals??
Who cut the cheese?
Hey! I think your videos are so cool and insightful. I'm new to the sync world and wanted to ask why you think this is the most legit company and if they can really get your song a placement in less than a day? :)
Bro this is 100% the old cartoon sandwich from that episode that has donald duck making a sandwich out of paper thin ingredients
Yep 😂
The paper thin beans 😭😭
Hi , what are your thoughts on pitching to exclusive libraries?

Can u do a new mix and mastering Video ? I think u Are better now with better Plugins

Droppin Gems! Dope look into the thought process and game plans for a successful sync event! Cant wait for Shades!
Mixing in general is the hardest part for me in making music.
Cool video. I worked as a touring musician for years too and had to give it up for the same reasons as yourself (instability). Nice to know it's possible to actually make decent money from making music in your house. The only guys I know who've made it big thus far have done so as artists with millions of monthly listeners / massive records / touring schedules so yeah, I'd take your life over theirs any day !
I have never actually performed on a concert. I just performed my music on a studio or on a location and I make videos for it. Everything else deals with licensing my music so that I can make a living on it. It is possible to make a living and never actually be a “performing artist” the traditional way. can also make music for TV shows and documentaries and depending on the popularity of the music you could get a huge payout. I have little kids and I don’t want to be on tour because it brings a lot of issues for them…. So this is a good alternative so that I can still make money and never actually have to leave my house or my city if I don’t wish to. Obviously, once my kids are old enough. I’m gonna have to go out there 😅

Like sepaeationg two quarks. More appear from the vacuity between them.
You use Ableton too?? I feel so valid
I want your old gear.
The mustache and beard gives you that Asgardian MUSIC THUNDER GOD look! I'm still struggling to get track2 B to record. I will succeed one day then I will be worthy of placing my contribution before you.
Thank you for the homework Master Music Mentor. You are the best. I just started recreating my catalog today, by working on my first commercial product that I will one day present unto you. All I have is my little Arturia Midi MkII keyboard, a dp 004 Tascam, a Lyra Mic, and a Laptop, after loosing all my stuff a while back. I hate DAWS, SO this Tascam is really a big blessing in a small package. My hunt now is for trap drum plug in to lace up my piano and Orchestra hits, then I will lay vocals and hopefully be prepared make you proud of your new student. May you sleep well wise one.🎉
Please make a video on the Akai Mpc 3???
Love it all, and this slamming track! Thank you MIGHTY MUSIC MENTOR.
Thank you so much for sharing, though I only write sing gospel songs, I'm really inspired
Love your content. Question, if we bring our project to you when we think it is ready, to ensure it is sync ready, could we give you your required percentage, until our work is adequate???
No I don’t take percentage at all. In our private community we make sure everything is sync ready regardless.
@xj_will Top of the mornin, and thank you Most High Music Mentor! Surely you are the outreach of the Almighty unto us. When my project is near completion, I will urgently call upon you.
hi Will i got a question. When sending music for Sync what if I made an instrumental with other people (like collaborators)? Cause a lot of libraries request a One-Stop so i have to own the 100% of the master and the publishing, so do I have to have paid the collaborators or is possible to split the Publishing and Master with the collaborators? lmk thanks 🙏
yea we have split sheets in our private community that cover that for ya in an extra clause so it can remain one stop that we give away for free👍🏾
Also this video places too much emphasis on the speed of the information given at the expense of actually ensuring comprehension of the information.
I would request that you go over what it means to use key switches with detailed examples ....this video seems to assume that the viewer already understands exactly how key switches influences the sound. Thank you.
Hey J! I'm looking into the Shades of Sync in ATL. Hoping to connect with more folks to learn about sync! Would love to volunteer help or participate!
I'm hungry 😅
any link for audiohack ?
Thanks for the warning about using samples! Does that also include one-shots like kicks, snares etc. or even Logic loops?
One shots are okay to use, such as drum samples and instrument one shots. I would avoid using phrases. Technically, you own the loops in Logic as you purchased the DAW. With FL Studio, they say that all their loops are royalty free and okay to use for commercial use, and I'm sure it should be the same in Logic
@@lilaclaza1690 What about samples from Splice?
You are the music master.
You said we should make several versions of each track. Does that mean we should copyright each separately, or put them all together, and the copyright office will do a multi version of same song copyright, in one transaction?
