    Nah man, thank YOU!
    Thank you for making this banger of a track completely free to use. It gets better, even opting for "attribution not required" meaning you don't even have to mention in the description that the song is in the video, it's the safest kind of song to use in content on TH-cam. That is so incredibly generous! Also ultimately how I found this track! I had been demonetised with my previous Dankmus project and really didn't want to go through that again and opted for only the SAFEST songs possible, BOOM. Scarlet Fire was found.
    Your studio is cool as heck btw, no wonder you crank out such phat tracks. 💕

    I found you through a baking video where they used hang ups. The song instantly stuck with me and since then it's still my favorite when coding. Ive been listing to it for years on repeat and neither does it get boring, nor does it disrupt me, absolutely incredible. I was quite surprised when I found Scarlet Fire and felt really nostalgic hearing not for nothing again. Many TH-camrs I used to watch back in my childhood used that song. Just wanted to tell my personal story about you and say thanks for the awesome music

    I'm just glad with how all this came together.
    I love the video style here, breaking down everything and showing all the different sources that lead to something like this. The playthrough isolating certain parts, as someone always interested in music creation but overwhelmed with how everything comes together to make a cohesive sound, especially with a work like Scarlet Fire, this is great.
    And thanks for shouting out Dank Pods, obviously like many I'm here because of him, and the acknowledgement means a lot. This is just such a cool moment for youtube - that kind of crossover, organic connection that feels more early internet than the sponsorships and collabs we get now.

    I'm always fascinated by people's creative processes. I loved the way you basically used the sample as notes on a keyboard to create the foundation of the song.

    • @OtisMacMusic
      @OtisMacMusic  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for watching and digging the process. I just love using a sample as the conductor. It's how I create most of music. I come up with a short piece and then that piece informs the rest of the song.

    I have been listening to your music for a long time. Since end of grade school early middle school and I just really want to say thank you. It was your songs that helped me want to pursue looking at different types/genres of music! Although my music tastes have changed a lot since when I first started listening to your music I still come back to my older playlists for nostalgia and because a lot of tracks are bangers regardless. Another reason why I love scarlet fire so much is that it reminds me of being in summer during middle school with no cares in the world other then who I was hanging out with that day while playing scarlet fire on my old dr dre headphones that ended up getting chewed by my dog that same summer. Anyway Otis McDonald you are one of the most influential artists to me and I cant even explain in words how much I thank you for making my summers during my kid years feel endless and awesome 😎.

    Mighty Fine is one of my favorite songs of yours, it was really cool to hear the full sample you used for it (and Scarlet Fire), almost makes me wish there was a full thing!
    Seriously though, the idea of making your own short sample and then just remixing that is really clever
