I feel like Nick Mira and Internet Money played a big part in these speedruns videos. I see his workflow influence in those videos. From the crazy amount of hotkeys used and trying to make a ridiculous amount of beats in a day. His twitch and TH-cam viewers are growing up
but they aint speed running per se, if youve spent a lot of time learning a daw and crafting your way through it. hotkeys and speed come naturally. at some point you wont have to think about what key to press to get some result, it'll be like muscle memory
Nah aries definitely started this. He wasn't doing speedruns but his thing was making quick beat recreations and making the video itself as short as possible
Lol. My speed run video was a joke obviously. I was having fun on my livestream, an audience ask me to do a spreed run and I was like "what the hell, let's do it"
nobody seems to have stopped and asked, "how is making a beat as quickly as possible a good thing?". It sends a really clear message to the listener, doesn't it? It says, "hey, I can shit out pretty much anything with no artistic soul and people will still want to listen to it and other shitty beat producers will think I'm cool." Real bunch of heroes.
I view the whole thing like freestyle rapping vs. writing lyrics. Your probably not going to freestyle something as cohesive as writing lyrics down, but it's a fun creative exercise that could spark ideas. It's interesting to what's possible with FL's keyboard shortcuts but tbh I couldn't produce that fast anyway with how long it takes my computer to load VSTs lol.
95% of people love that generic stuff.. thats why its so popular. The sad reality is that the more you genuinely live music and the emotional aspect of it ... the less satisfied you'll be with the music industry. Generic and shallow is the name of the game for the average listener and If you spend any amount of time watching music production channels, you're probably not the average listener.
It's not about being a remake. It's 100% muscle memory and 0% creativity. Notice how these beats being made in 30 seconds are generic type beats that most other producers make. It's the same beat made over and over again with slight variations in sound selection, scale, and melodies and basically no variations in drums.
Fact Magazine had interesting video series Against the Clock, where they were challenging producers making a track in 10 minutes. There was a rule that producers can pick sounds beforehand and spend time actually making the track. In majority of these videos results were crap, but it actually was interesting to see workflows of some producers. I tried myself this approach and it is actually quite cool, because time forces you to not overthink your ideas. Its better to make 6 ideas in 1 hour, where 5 of them will be trash, rather than spending 1h and then realizing that you were making a crap beat all this time next morning :D
I think it's a good excercise for all the reasons you mentioned. It's a bit like being a graphic designer who regularly does life drawing to keep their creativity fluid. So it's not just about tools and shortcuts. It's about creative flow. I think there is research out there which shows the quality improves with quantity. The two are not mutually exclusive. It's worth a try.
A lot of those have also crazy cursor jumps, and you can see the cursor moves a lot differently when the DAW is actually playing the track versus when they're "beatmaking". Ctrl-R in Resolve Edit page is so so cheap. On the philosophical side: I think it's good if real-ish speedruns exist - people should be encouraged to know that IF you know what you're going for, the technical process itself isn't daunting. It should however come without the fakery of "wow this melody is gonna be fire" recreating the content you have screenshotted on your second screen or whatever.
Speed run Production is like “Free Association Writing” when u have “Producers Block”. Just start playing anything, and then pick out parts that are genius, in a way that’s unique for you, in that moment
I love your level headed and logical evaluations of such happenings. It gives explanation to those who wouldn't think of it on their own right away. It is good work you are doing.
I always found these as satire since a lot (if not all) of these production "speedruns" are "open" and in very wildly uncontrolled contexts. Unlike actual gaming speedruns where the game itself (including the version and the console/hardware) really matters and are the actual categories themselves of the leaderboards. Part of the appeal of a rigid context is when a speedrunner innovates or even accidentally finds a glitch/skip that breaks the previous record by a huge margin. As another commenter pointed out, there needs to be a control somehow, like a specific song/beat on specific hardware. Like for example being fastest on Maschine (with a specific firmware version) to build a specific beat - and then a year after, some person finding a glitch in that specific firmware that allows a way to do something crazy that completely demolishes the old record. It just doesn't feel like a speedrun when the finish line and the stadium changes every attempt. 😅
Also, I always find those fake annotating over pre-recorded screens funny because it really is quite similar to quite a lot of cheating incidents in gaming speedruns where a guy streams themselves pressing on the controller while superimposing the pre-recorded speedrun 😅. It feels like a meme at this point.
I have perfect relative pitch so I can already hear melodies in my mind and already know the notes before I program them, what you can't hear is the timbre unless you've used that sound on that melody or similar before.
its rlly easy to make beats that fast if u pre pick the sounds. for the drums its a 1 bar 808 pattern with a 2 step hi hat pattern. that shit takes 10 seconds
I liked watching Fact's "Against the clock" several years back when they were making the series because it took people out of their element to make something musical and interesting in only ten minutes. But if the whole point of your life and musical creation is to speedrun making as many beats as you can as quickly as you can.... That's kind of a neat party trick. I actually get why you'd want to practice the skill, afterall if you can produce 100 beats per day then maybe if 10% of those can turn into money you can make a living that way, or if you can get an audience for your beat speed running... then you could make a living that way.
Also, people could have practiced making the same beat over and over again. The idea is already determined. The producers just needs to practice pressing buttons fast and they already know which buttons they are going to press.
Writers for old Italian cinema horror and slashers used to save sentences that they cut from scripts to reuse. They were writing movies in less than a week sometimes…and it shows. I imagine the guys scoring the movies were in a similar rush.
I made 4 beats and two commision remixes and my IQ is exactly 400 while watching this video and cooking an entire spaghetti Bolognese from scratch for 37 and a half cents per serve.
@@DarkMetaOFFICIALI made a beat while liking this comment and psychologically tormenting your gf to the point she has no choice to settle for you while still wanting me She was on the remix tho, we had a 3 way with bwb ex gf
I'm glad you made this video. It clears a lot of the air on these. Coz there's no way you'd make a brand new beat from scratch in 30 seconds even on FL😂
These speed runs should be completed, mixed and arranged tracks. When Fact mag did the Against The Clock videos, as well as the Tim&BarryTV Beat This videos a number of years back, hardly anyone who did those challenges was able to finish a track in 10 minutes. The quickest I remember was a Footwork producer on an MPC.
I've seen that exact speed running dude before watching this video and there were some 34 second runs that included vocal chops not included in the run while nobody acknowledges it in the comments. definitely it's a fad that works through people's lack of knowledge on the subject. your real talent is pressing hotkeys and replicating your midis quick, not going to deny that. 900th like
Unaware, Weaver caught me in his web. I found myself hiding in a bush watching this video today when I should have been doing my gardening day job. Dam you demon! Love your work!
There is a series where professional EDM producers make a track in one hour. It's really nice seeing their workflows and you can learn a lot. This kind of speedrunning is probably a good practice to speed up your workflow.
Maybe coming up next: - Build a house from scratch speedrun - Write a novel from scratch speedrun (also related: rewrite The Bible / The Quran) - Remaking original Star Wars Trilogy as ascii graphics animation speedrun
This is something I used to do in the studio years ago as a gimmick for people that stopped by. Make a basic beat in like 45 seconds cause for some reason people think it’s magic.
I hate the concept of making a beat as fast as you can… you technically can’t do it anyways if we’re being real. Finding sounds, figuring out a melody, laying drums, effects & arrangements takes more than the time they’re portraying! They either recreate beats or already had them mapped out before recording! Beat making is already a quick endeavor lol if you know what sounds you wanna use it only takes about 10-15 minutes max to lay a few patterns down & drop some drums & effects in! Why would you wanna make a beat faster than that ? It truly grinds my gears when I see a video titled “I made this beat in 5 minutes” or “I made 5 beats in 30 minutes” etc like why ? Lol since when has it become more about speed than creativity & productivity ?🤦🏾♂️
As noticed, a lot of them are in FL. The default template already has some drums loaded and I don't think it's fair. It only takes a few seconds to load those channels but still... they should start with an empty template. Btw, my logi mouse (and keyboad) makes (almost) no sound and it doesn't get picked up when speaking, so it can be legit to not hear them. I also like to click everything in FL. I don't care about shortcuts when the left had is on the midi keyboard and the right one has the mouse. I'd also like to see how fast the mix and master those beats and if they sell any of them done in speedruns.
Music production speedruns make no sense imho. Music is not a competition and i don't care if you can recreate a beat or if you can make a banal beat that "sounds amazing" in 60 seconds but it's similar as many other beat with the usual trap drums, 808 bass, piano chords and a sample (which usually carries the whole song). I want emotions from music, even if you need a year to finish a single song, i don't care because quality needs time and dedication. Many modern songs sound and feel like they actually are, that is to say, a vocal on a beat, not a SONG. This "beat trend" in the music industry is producing a lot of soulless songs that won't be remembered in 2 years.
I keep telling people this. Especially in the shorts. I look at the comments and people are all feeling defeated im like relax ignore this BS and do you!
Let us see them make a large pop-arrangement with strings, backing vocals, lead vox, a modulated c-piece and an epic ending in 10 minutes..... Yeah, I thought so.
Great vid! Props on the research. imo, these speedruns should really be pre-meditated and a remake of a popular song. Because that's how gamers do it. Can't really rank runs with new/original beats. Also, there has to be a consistent set of rules for producers.
This entire concept is just corporate idealism being packaged as work ethic and skill. None of these beats are even remotely interesting or memorable and only exist for the sake of monetary bottom lines.
"speed running" for content is one thing and thats fine, but speed running as a form of practice in finishing and getting in practice of just letting go and creating something whether its good or bad i think can be a good exercise
I never thought it was from scratch because people don't speedrun games blind. Sometimes you'll see comments about not seeing the story/cutscenes from people who don't get it. So i guess i see how people could be confused if you don't know about the topic
It's a strange phenomenon because it's harder for me to do one beat for a long time. If I put in all the goodies it's usually done in a couple of hours. I don't understand how some people can even spend weeks on one song. I would like to learn to be more patient as I think it would bring better results.
I've never cared about making beats quickly. I care about making them as fire as they can possibly be and I just don't see how that's possible when you barely spend any time on it. There's no time to really polish it and if you ask me it becomes formulaic extremely quickly.
When you actually know music finding chords and making harmony is NOT HARD AT ALL. it's as simple and fast as placing your hands on the keyboard and improvising
This needed to said. Speed running music is like speed running cooking food.. if you spend a minute to make it then it’s gunna taste like it took you a minute to make it
Its one thing to bang outt a quality 16 or 32 bar beat.....now let's see how that speed looks to take it to completion .....produce and program other sections..arrange... Automation..mix, master.... this is why every producer always has 30÷ ableton projectes with 16 bars of drums , bass n maybe a few plucks....and quality , near finished trackd ...a few more than 0.
Is it just me who dislikes Simon seveda. He’s talented yes but his faux modesty and “oh first time with xxxx now i got that on my resume ” said joking but serious. His tryhardness and showoffness instantly gets me annoyed ” I cant put my finger clearly on why. Just a gut thing.
I'm quoting Shredmaster Scott here (Who may have been quoting someone else), music isn't a competition. It's a good exercise to do this, but don't feel beat up about it. If you're looking at this and being upset that you can't make a bar of music this fast, then music might not be for you. Enjoy your process, don't race against everyone else, and have fun being creative.
Giving yourself a time limit like 30-45min is great to help run off of intuition and not overthink making a beat. But once you go to make it a song, a little more time should be spent.
I honestly hate how fast people make stuff and it has pretty much completely killed my motivation at this point. I make loops and beats and honestly after like 10 years I think I finally got to the point where I’m actually pretty good at it. I even landed a song with a reasonably big artist in the last month. But because I can’t make 70 of them in one day how do I even have a chance? People want me to send them beats but it takes me an entire day off to create something I’m truly proud of. They literally beg me to send more and I don’t even have them. It takes me weeks of every second of my free time to make a sample pack I pretty much don’t even make any money off of. Sure I enjoy it as a past time but this sucks the fun out of it. How can I compete with people that sit in some billion dollar studio in LA smoking blunts and making trap loops all day? I cant. And the quality of the music is suffering for it too. Yeah I get it’s all misleading, but it makes me feel like no matter how good my work is it will never be enough unless I can make 7000 beats or samples in a day.
And for anyone who’s wondering I get that it is completely misleading entertainment, but that doesn’t change the fact that industry producers really are probably making at least 5-10 beats a day. And I even understand that they’re not tracking out those whole beats, mixing and mastering them or any of that but more likely just setting up an 8 Bar loop or something that can be structured later. Well even that seems impossible to me unless you can do it all day 😂. Idk man. I’m certainly improving at this but I find the speed at which other people work really discouraging
@A_R_B_G actually I think that’s an incredibly valid point and I’ve pretty much come to that exact same conclusion. I’m in the process of just building as big of a library of samples and beats as I possibly can. I have pretty much put everything else on the back burner just so I can have more content. The song I landed was actually some loop that randomly got picked up by another producer who had better connections than me, so I really wasn’t prepared for that. But the main reason why I haven’t been sending out is because of exactly what you mentioned
Speedrunning music is stupid. There’s no “end game,” so it’s just whatever you want to call finished. It’s like running a race where at any moment you can say it’s the finish line.
I feel like Nick Mira and Internet Money played a big part in these speedruns videos. I see his workflow influence in those videos. From the crazy amount of hotkeys used and trying to make a ridiculous amount of beats in a day. His twitch and TH-cam viewers are growing up
True
but they aint speed running per se, if youve spent a lot of time learning a daw and crafting your way through it. hotkeys and speed come naturally. at some point you wont have to think about what key to press to get some result, it'll be like muscle memory
@kabirchoudhary1359 true its the same as blowing up they say a person blow up over night when it really was years of hardwork that paid off
But Mira is making good beats...
Nah aries definitely started this. He wasn't doing speedruns but his thing was making quick beat recreations and making the video itself as short as possible

It says, "hey, I can shit out pretty much anything with no artistic soul and people will still want to listen to it and other shitty beat producers will think I'm cool." Real bunch of heroes.
I talk about it at the end. It's a good thing because you master your shortcuts. It's definitely a bad thing in pretty much any other aspect though.
Well said. Producers need to understand the artist/listener doesn't care about how long it takes, as long as it sounds good.
You're addressing the crowd of people who make a trap beat with 808s in every video. You know there's a reason for that right?
I view the whole thing like freestyle rapping vs. writing lyrics. Your probably not going to freestyle something as cohesive as writing lyrics down, but it's a fun creative exercise that could spark ideas. It's interesting to what's possible with FL's keyboard shortcuts but tbh I couldn't produce that fast anyway with how long it takes my computer to load VSTs lol.

If the sounds are already selected 90% of the work done
Idk about 90% but maybe 30%
and this is why people loved their 303+909 setup 🤣
I think it's a good excercise for all the reasons you mentioned. It's a bit like being a graphic designer who regularly does life drawing to keep their creativity fluid.

A lot of those have also crazy cursor jumps, and you can see the cursor moves a lot differently when the DAW is actually playing the track versus when they're "beatmaking". Ctrl-R in Resolve Edit page is so so cheap.

Its one thing to bang outt a quality 16 or 32 bar beat.....now let's see how that speed looks to take it to completion
.....produce and program other sections..arrange...
Automation..mix, master.... this is why every producer always has 30÷ ableton projectes with 16 bars of drums , bass n maybe a few plucks....and quality , near finished trackd ...a few more than 0.
Video game production techniques same guy that keeps killing me on COD
please drop the charges i havent seen my family in 6 days
Okay since you asked nicely
YESSSSSSSSSSSS @@Weaverbeats
Is it just me who dislikes Simon seveda. He’s talented yes but his faux modesty and “oh first time with xxxx now i got that on my resume ” said joking but serious. His tryhardness and showoffness instantly gets me annoyed ” I cant put my finger clearly on why. Just a gut thing.
I feel the same way! I can’t word it. Somethings about him puts me off but I can’t objectively express it
lol we had DONK HOUSE MUSIC speedruns in 2006 in fl 3.56 maybe
Oh common sense yeah i dont have that so...
Please let us know when a 400iq version of this is available. Thanks in advance.
I thought Eliminate held the Soulja Boy speedrun record
Simon did another one that was faster a couple days ago
great video. we want more
5:02 if i ever feel bad about myself in the future I'll just remind myself i dont have an account called "ElonRektsLibtards"
you don't have to listen to what you're making while you're making it, he didn't make anything spectacular he layed down some chords
The third guy's video is obviously sped up, it's clearly seen when there is a selection square is on the screen.
this is like the music version of the Rubik's cube
I'm quoting Shredmaster Scott here (Who may have been quoting someone else), music isn't a competition. It's a good exercise to do this, but don't feel beat up about it. If you're looking at this and being upset that you can't make a bar of music this fast, then music might not be for you. Enjoy your process, don't race against everyone else, and have fun being creative.
These tracks are simply just "loops" and not beats, let alone a finished track. 😂
No one called them tracks though.
@@Weaverbeats It seems like that's what these producers are implying though.
Giving yourself a time limit like 30-45min is great to help run off of intuition and not overthink making a beat. But once you go to make it a song, a little more time should be spent.
400iQ?? oh you must not no me 😈
4:35 Wait why the f is Sep in here? 🤣
I honestly hate how fast people make stuff and it has pretty much completely killed my motivation at this point. I make loops and beats and honestly after like 10 years I think I finally got to the point where I’m actually pretty good at it. I even landed a song with a reasonably big artist in the last month. But because I can’t make 70 of them in one day how do I even have a chance? People want me to send them beats but it takes me an entire day off to create something I’m truly proud of. They literally beg me to send more and I don’t even have them. It takes me weeks of every second of my free time to make a sample pack I pretty much don’t even make any money off of. Sure I enjoy it as a past time but this sucks the fun out of it. How can I compete with people that sit in some billion dollar studio in LA smoking blunts and making trap loops all day? I cant. And the quality of the music is suffering for it too. Yeah I get it’s all misleading, but it makes me feel like no matter how good my work is it will never be enough unless I can make 7000 beats or samples in a day.
And for anyone who’s wondering I get that it is completely misleading entertainment, but that doesn’t change the fact that industry producers really are probably making at least 5-10 beats a day. And I even understand that they’re not tracking out those whole beats, mixing and mastering them or any of that but more likely just setting up an 8 Bar loop or something that can be structured later. Well even that seems impossible to me unless you can do it all day 😂. Idk man. I’m certainly improving at this but I find the speed at which other people work really discouraging
@A_R_B_G actually I think that’s an incredibly valid point and I’ve pretty much come to that exact same conclusion. I’m in the process of just building as big of a library of samples and beats as I possibly can. I have pretty much put everything else on the back burner just so I can have more content. The song I landed was actually some loop that randomly got picked up by another producer who had better connections than me, so I really wasn’t prepared for that. But the main reason why I haven’t been sending out is because of exactly what you mentioned
the music equivalent of drawing stick figures
Speedrunning music is stupid. There’s no “end game,” so it’s just whatever you want to call finished. It’s like running a race where at any moment you can say it’s the finish line.
i would like to see a speedrun of a remake of Fantaisie-Impromptu, Op. 66
It's a Beat Off!
I knew it was entertainment but it still made me insecure😅
I see ladidai everywhere
please drop the charges weaver, down below
Speed runs used to refer to using amphetamines over the period of many days. I guess the habits of musicians writing music has changed these days.
In times of Fast Tracket 2 I would make a short techno beat in 5 seconds easily.
