Not only does this make great and engaging audio, but it also sounds like something that would be great for up and coming youtubers who might not be interested in searching for all the copyright free audio or couldn’t afford to pay for background music. Especially before the bass line on the final day, I think what you put together there sounded like some really great b-roll-esque music type of thing. Something really pleasant to perhaps go behind nature footage.
My man you bring up budget being an issue, but this would be one of the most overkill and pricy background music solution ever. The TH-cam free audio library is a thing remember.
7:08 Lol as a music producer myself i think its hilarious that pretty much all producers use presets and rarely make everything from scratch for each project, it take so long haha but its great to see someone making videos like this and diving into the area!
I think a lot of that is time lines / dead lines - and also the instant gratification of social media music hacks and such. As someone who doesn't sell or release music I create - most of my gear actually doesn't have presets so I build things from scratch by necessity and its awesome. But I 100% understand why people love presets / samples. It's music as both a passion and a job. If I had to make a song by 5PM tomorrow or a client would be angry - it's totally different :)
I have a Novation Circuit. Best standalone production device to get started with. You can make songs in seconds, so it’s perfect for those melodies stuck in your head. I used to use it daily, and after 2 years, I still use it weekly. Cool to see you using it!
he needs to get in touch with android game devs and market his content there I can see a lot of potential for his upbeat music getting used in retro platformers
I was about to comment that you should make a video about tackling sound design in a synthesizer like Serum, and then saw you decided to tackle sound design. Crazy stuff man.
Hey Mike! Really cool video and I'm glad you're playing music, but you may want to learn some music theory while you're doing this so you know more about the keys and specifically major and minor keys. The last piece you played has the chords in a minor key but your melody over the top sounds to me like it's in a major key, which is kinda jarring. If you did it on purpose, cool; but if not, music theory is really fun and you can probably get an ABRSM theory book pretty easily. Congrats on making nice beats though!
O my god u dont have any idea how much i was needed this video and was looking for it.I'm so happy that you made it,thankful human. Even if I dont get the chance to get this awesome thing,I'm still thankfull that u made this video. With all the love,N
Love your videos. Very inspirational. The Circuit is amazing and would really compliment the electronic drum set and keyboard my kids got for Christmas. Cheers. Keep up the great videos.
Love it. The circuit was one of the devices I picked up 4ish years ago when getting addicted to hardware music gear. It's by far (and its newer sibling the tracks) what I am the fastest on. Enjoy it!
I just love to watch you hunger for knowledge and have a mind to explore the possible and then stretch yourself to the impossible. Never give up the hunger.
A little time saver for you: Provided you haven't opened Ableton as administrator, you can directly move samples in AND out from Ableton without having to go into folders or anything. For example with Splice, you can move a sample straight from splice, into your arrangement. With the cirquit, you can probably move samples straight from the arrangement or the browser into the sample thingy you used.
Mike i know that your channel is about learning fast but i would really love to see how fast you could learn to speak a different language (a goal for this could be to comfortably answer some questions that you are asked in this language). I think that this would be a very good video (Please like so mike will see this.)
If you want to make music for legit free id say u pick up and daw like reaper or lmms which are both free or try more expensive daws like ableton or fl they cost more but you get what u pay for, and fl and ableton both have free trails

Dude! Have you heard about Mike Shake?! He makes similar content as you, learning new skills in short times. He's name is also Mike and he also has a beautiful accent.
For one That was 2 months ago... who replies on 2 month old comments. And two Mike Shake did copy Mike Boyd. It’s not similar ideas. Shakes channel is entertaining and all but nobody can deny that he did copy Boyd. Both work very hard on their videos. Edit: it wouldn’t be copying if Shake gave Boyd credit or recognition, but... Shake did not.
Hey Mike! You should consider learning bouldering (Rock climbing without ropes). Climbing gyms provide difficulty grading systems for each climb which would make it easy for you to set goals. There are plenty of bouldering youtube channels you could check out for tips. Keep up the great work! Love your channel.
I've had the Novation Circuit on my radar for a while...after seeing your video learning how to use it in a week, perhaps 2021 will be the year I pick one up.
As a self tought musician, I want to address the point made at 5:25. There is not a high barrier to entry for music anymore. In fact, I believe it’s the lowest it’s ever been. Every learning resource you could possibly need is available for free on youtube alone. My experience is only in the topic of practical, applicable skills in performance and production(guitar, theory, composition, etc) and not intentionally complex methods and skills related to sheet music and that branch of classical education. Many instruments are manufactured at a higher quality than ever and at the lowest market value ever. Investing marginal amounts of time, money and similar resources is very beneficial, of course, but you can easily get by with much less than ever before
I make music myself, and must say, good work my man! Definitely not a tool for making a complete track, but great for getting the creativity flowing and putting down your ideas💪
Mike, Ive seen some of your old instrument-learning videos and thought that it would be a good challenge to try and learn to play the bagpipes, seeing as you are Scottish after all!
OMG I have been smiling throughout this entire video, I am in love with this thing too. Your videos are So inspirational as to what we are all capible of... By the way Due to your videos I sit here behind 9 different rubics cubes, can solve 7 of them so far. Keep up the amazing videos..This video really turned around my day, you have no idea....
mann ive been trying to get one of these for yearsss now, classical guitar for 7 years and alevels got a bit monotonous but never been even close to be able to buy one. now i dont want it, i NEED it🤣 especially with lockdown and online lessons times are getting stressful
This made me want to get one to try out so i can at least stop using stock sounds for my shows. Last year I took up touch typing with you as an inspiration, took only three days to be able to surpass my hunt and peck record, never going back.
As a music teacher, I love using technology to teach music. As you mention, you don’t need too much knowledge on theory or even reading music notation. It’s a great way to introduce music to elementary students in which they can produce music that is relevant to today society. At the same time it encourages them to continue music at the middle school level.
Circuit has scale modes for the keys, so instead of 12 notes per octave (all notes) over 2 octaves, you can choose a key (eg C#m) and it will show 4 octaves of 7 notes per octave (just the scale notes)

Yes, no cables NEEDED, but they can be used to improve the experience
