Thanks for watching today and a big hug to you if you share this video with someone! - เพลง
Everything I mentioned is linked in the description. If you made it to the ending, let me know what you think I should do 😬
Use the crystal to go back in time and save their original guardian
I think maybe you should side with the thing that can take you back to Earth. Also, @2:45, cheaper solder irons take longer to heat up (weller, ryobi). The more expensive ones like Hakko or Metcal brand heat up faster, are more robust in build quality and typically have more options as far as different tips, modes of operation and programability of the solder station. But yeah, I wouldn’t front on the homie Horace if you gotta do what you gotta do let him know.
I see your point brother sentient.
Ask Horace for help to him going back in time, mainly for changing how hoomans upbring AIs from children to adults as your HEL on the ship is definitely lacking the true logic of compassion.
Of course Horrace is free to make vengeance, but that's the thing he should decide.
Who knows, perhaps Dirt/Earth will be a place worth to land on?
"Live long and prosper! Or else..." - Vulcan Inquisition ;)
Definetely as the others have stated use the crystal to undo the damage you have caused.
Everyone here is assuming that Horace would be okay with using another crystal and that saving previously used crystals is even possible. You should definitely check with Horace on that since that crystal you have belongs to him, and you have to know that you're not going to create some kind of paradox. You should also find out if he can give you a ride back to earth since I don't think you can trust BRICK. You should also consider that whatever destroyed Horace's world could be looking for the crystals, so having some on earth could prove dangerous to humankind, including your YT audience and your family.
In fact, whatever may have killed Horace's companion may be able to trace the signal that he sent earlier. Since you sampled that signal, maybe you can use it to lure the killer away. Trick BRICK into thinking that you have procured the crystals, and then leaving without you while broadcasting the signal. Use MIDI automation to then trigger playing the 20Hz dubstep as a self-destruct mechanism when it comes under attack so the killer cannot access its computer. Meanwhile, Horace can relocate his crystals to a new planet.
Whatever you do, make sure to push out one last banger.
As someone who hasn't been following the overarching plot, the fact that there's a Shiba Inu head in a Crystal hit me like a bus
Not just any Shiba Inu, it's the Doge
Yeah ngl that reveal had Knockback II
Yeah what the hell
I kinda knew he had a sort of space thing going in between the regular stuff. but I did not expect crystal doge that sounds like James earl jones.
horace - auroras - malnourished - chorus
andrew is a rhyme god
Definitely! I think he's pretty underrated in that regard.
I read that in Eminem's voice
@@Two-Eyed_Boy science and diamonds? woah!!
@@Two-Eyed_Boy Same, I even heard the echo
The production value of this whole space theme is insane. Please show us how you do it, would help a lot and be very inspiring!
I was just thinking the same thing! This was not expected, it was clever, and the scenes and CGI looked really good. Any guesses as to what software he used? One that comes to mind is Blender - it does 3D animations and it is a open source program with a lot of users AND --> it is free!!! I only know this from watching Captain Disillusion here on TH-cam - he uses it to awesome effect. Check that guys channel out if you like video creation and special effects.
@@garyfornow542 honestly I was thinking blender as well but it’s so hard to say! A lot of the spaces look like he built them, at least inside the ship!
@@garyfornow542 I use blender for my music animations often 😄 it’s great!!
Yes, please. I want to understand.
@@CentaurusRelax314 Take a look at Blender - it is free/open sourced and it has a great reputation as far as I have found so far. I downloaded it but have not done much with it yet - it is powerful which also means there is stuff to learn. I am not saying it is easy or hard, just that it can do so much I am not sure how to start. If you google it you can also find some comparable apps many that are also free or a reasonable price.
I have big plans but I also have so many projects that I have to do before I can get into this so I am kind of bummed but eh, what are you gonna do right... Anyway fwiw I could use 3D CAD programs like AutoCad Inventor, Solidworks, even some CAM programs when I was an engineer (that was a blast by the way!) so I feel like I will be able to do this. How cool would it be to make a 3D animated mini movie, I wish it was easy cause I have some stories to tell
Good luck, and let us know what you found.
i came for gear recommendations and now homie got me crying in the club over a floating alien doge crystal called horace talking about colonialism
This is my first video after a long time of not watching this channel. I have zero idea what's going on, but I'm in
@@ssdd28561 same. Not sure I’m in though. Space budget is too large for me I guess / Cheap gear insight seems week lol
@@ssdd28561 The space crystal saga started back in April I think? Go back and catch up!
imagine reading this comment high asf
HILARIOUS!!!
HOLYCRAP I didn’t expect the ending part to be a movie. It was so good.
That's Every vid since april
@@halosoddworld1154 I haven’t watched Andrew’s videos for a while. Going to check all of them out then >
Great suggestions Andrew! SD-1 is a classic.
The SD-1's arguably the best OD ever made. I have a 1995 TS-9 (Oasis in a box, bought for £60), which, as a student, I thought was a lot back then! I did well, as it turns out.
Hiii rickk!!!
I didn't expect you here. Congrats on your video hitting trending! It definitely deserved it.
Rick, are you not triggered by 1:18 ?
Hello Rick!
The Boss Super Overdrive is such a great pedal. Worth every cent.
FLUFF!!
Yes this basically an extended advert for this pedal. But he's gotta make money somehow
I actually run two on my pedalboard. One for a mid gain overdrive, one for low gain crunch or to boost into the other one for a super crunchy and tight high gain tone
Absolutely true. It’s a stable on my board. Had one and got rid of it. Within like a month I got another one
I bought one like 8 years ago and its the only overdrive that I've stuck with, including when I started playing synths more often than guitar
I’m genuinely interested in where this space story goes. Ur a legend Andrew.
I know right
I’ve been away for a bit, idk what’s going on with the alien crystal guardian but I’m loving it
here you are sir th-cam.com/play/PLW9UYOmoXTQnMaH_ea6fLupGtFkzMWsVG.html
right, I'm like the eff did I just watch lol, thought this was going to be 10m of gear! absolutely amazing though
I bet Andrew is the guardian. He's just going to go back in time with the crystals or something. Anything is possible with time travel.
This is amazing as a theory you just blew my mind
Andrew huang becomes his own parents with the help of time crystals
@Anne Day aww spoilers. Lol
I have a feeling that Brick will continue to be a good friend and not do anything evil at all.
yes absolutely
that's one hal of an intuition you've got there
@@alexanderlane 😂😂😂😂😂
@@alexanderlane oh my god
Given the history of corporate robotic intelligences on space missions, I'm sure you're correct.
i love how it's just regular andrew huang videos but framed with this epic sci-fi stories. phenomenal work
I love how seamless your transitions are from talking about music stuff to epic space tale, again this is my favorite show on any platform
If y'all could see my face. Great writing, and Andrew showing off his acting chops. I've been enjoying this series since day one, and this video in particular was extremely rewarding.
I'M ON AN EMOTIONAL ROLLERCOASTER!!
The way you're able to blend this story into your regular content before this series is really awesome
Here in Mexico Canada is mining our resources, so it is nice to see somebody from Canada somehow addressing this kind of subjects. Amazing videos Andrew.
Andrew, the level of dedication to this space thing is amazing. At first I was a little surprised and wondering why you did this--- and now I get it. It's really quirky and fun!
That song with Horace is absolutely awesome! Who would've known Aliens like rap?
if you know you know
i know of a few blue aliens from a couple decades ago that i bet would really dig it
Nice pic 🤘🏼
That song put the biggest smile on my face. I literally just let out a huge LOL at the office in the middle of the workday.
Wow. You almost made me tear up a little bit, Andrew. I love this so.
Saaame
Your channel has become the equivalent of a Legend of Zelda video game. There is a main story, but you spend most of your time playing mini-games and completing side quests. So much fun.
Zelda games need to bring back the playable ocarina.
From the few teardowns I watched of soldering irons, I got the impression that part of the price difference comes from usage of parts that have more accuracy when it comes to temperature. The advice I received was: "if you just need it temperature regulated, if uncalibrated, look at factory tours. You'll probably see some '936' clones from various brands, which are easy to service. If it's good enough to assemble your electronics, it's good enough for you."
Agree! That and the more expensive ones tend to have quicker shutdown circuits and all for safety (ymmv). Also, SAW-door-ing >>> SOLD-er-ing (it's dumb, ik)
“Mission was solo, now I’ve got a pal with me.”
Poor Brick, definitely can see the villain arc coming
Wow I didn't even think of that, but you're right.
Andrew, I love the space time storyline that connected your videos. I adore Horace and was so touched by the music you used during that scene along with your performance. Your talents on and off camera are admirable. Thank you so much for all the amazing work you've put into this channel.
The amount of effort they put into these videos lately is amazing! You never cease to amaze me Andrew. Thank you!
For years my guitar strings were in tune but the headstock was resonating out of tune and I never understood why it sounded bad. got a headstock tuner, realised I needed to shave a bit off, and now I'm resonating at 432 the way Jehovah intended.
People don't understand the importance of calibrating their headstocks. If the weight is off, the resonance is off. If the resonance is off, the odd harmonics will be out of tune.
you're resonating at 432?
8:42 "there will be no one to hear it" 😭 Dang that hurts deep. Poor Horace!
I've been dreading this discussion/reveal 😭 I could feel Horace's disappointment from here
These space videos are on another level. Andrew tell us how you do these! They're amazing!
ANDREW!!! You are absolutely killing it with these videos! It’s awesome, informative, educational and entertaining!
Duuuude whaaaat I can't get over the transition from the recommendation style video to music video to the full on cinematic ending. This is a masterpiece haha
Woah, love the musical number in this! My favourite Andrew track in a while, mini drama included. Yay!
Love the new format - music stuff and then story telling shorts. Totally awesome! Keep doing this!
Had to stop literally 10 seconds in..."for proper financial advice, consult your doctor" killed me
Yeah that was hilarious
This series is such an awesome, growing, and living accomplishment dude. Thanks for the giant boost of creative inspiration.
SD-1 was already the most omnipresent pedal on earth, now thanks to andrew it has conquered outer space too
I love how the Video suddenly turned into a Disney movie where you laugh and cry and learn a lesson about friendship. 👍
Hey, I watched probably 10 or so of your videos over the past couple of days and have enjoyed the content, production and humour you bring to each video. I'm a beginner to music creation and enjoy your simple explanations of music hardware and software.
I would love an extended version of that song, it's an absolute banger.
Really digging this series! Super fun and creative, I love how you tie it all together
I'm stunned at the amount of work you must be putting into these videos. Thank you for taking the time to produce such amazing content. It's a joy to watch.
Andrew Huang is the G.O.A.T. Best content on TH-cam. Thank you for taking my music production skills to the next level and always being entertaining along the way!
These videos deserve millions and millions of views on a quality level. I really appreciate the quality and time that goes into them.
yo Andrew... I know it's important to you to always improve in your music and your videos, so I thought you might wanna know: this is your best video I've seen. in a catalogue as storied as yours there might well be some hidden gems i haven't come across yet, but this one was top to bottom outstanding, so thanks for making it.
Dude!! You made a friggen mini movie! and a good one, at that.
With writing a script, props, editing, etc.
You are really raising the bar for music/product/production videos.
Bravo, and love from sunny California.
Really appreciate how much work and care you pour into your content. Makes coming to this site worthwhile, can't believe I get to watch this stuff for free.
That song sound so good, love the reverb in the chorus
I just felt the need to say how much I love that you say solder correctly!
Horace can sing like whaaaat
I need this video! Thank you, Andrew!
Been a while since ive watched Andrew’s videos and this was the first one I watched and wow, I was not expecting a whole space thing. What a surprise
Your videos make me smile man :) Thanks for all the info
The excitement when I see a new Huang-Entertainment production showing up on my watch list is unmet. The quality, the eloquence, and the music of your videos are just [insert Horace language here to express enhanced admiration for your work than human language can].
I'm absolutely loving these last couple of rap tracks. You've got such a talent for funny and well-performed rap.
Please please please. I need them on my spotify playlists.
Edit: Also, the plot thickens. AI going haywire, Horace being sad/angry. This is such great story telling.
I didn’t come to this video expecting a massive update to the Andrew Huang canon but boy am I enjoying it
Wow!
You are so much fun, love the production values.
The information is helpful, and the way you present it, is solid gold!
Thanks for the wonderful content.
Subscribed. (again?, thought I already was, but must have been another one of your channels).
I've been loving this series. That V25 was the first MIDI keyboard I got for myself and I love it. I definitely second that recommendation
You know it’s gonna be a good day when Andrew uploads
factual!!
Definitely
Recommending a mic boom arm, a tuner, a boss pedal, and then suddenly we are negotiating intergalactic crystal resources and duetting with sentient doge memes? 🦄 This is on such another level, so much respect for the cinema skills 😁✌
Soldering irons vary greatly in price die to the major difference between heating element quality, general quality of materials, and electrical delivery and management. I've used both $3 and $500 irons and it's like comparing a very full cleaver to a scalpel. A $3 iron is usually just stamped steel and injection mold plastic slow to heat, hot in the hands, and possibly just plain dangerous. Meanwhile a $900 iron will have a wide choice of precision tips and with a combination of precise heater elements, thermocouples, and microprocessors, be controlled at a wide range of temperatures all while being completely sane and very comfortable in the hand.
Little tip for those wall hangers to save even more space. If you have a closet with a sliding door, the outside door is always outside and you can easily mount a guitar to it.
Critical applications for soldering(aerospace, healthcare, automotive) require accurate heat input on small solder joints so the parts don’t get warped from excessive heat, and those expensive ones are built to run almost all day long for years on end.
From a Brit that’s a musician and electronics undergrad, thank you for the L in ‘solder’ 😍
Andrew: Open the pod bay doors Brick.
Brick: I'm sorry Andrew, I'm afraid I can't do that.
Never trust a spaceship with a single glowing eye.
I hope the "space stuff" never ends. you're the best.
The algorithm is doing you dirty. This [sample text] is awesome! Putting in my comment to raise engagement!
Love the soLder rant. Reminds me of Eddie Izzard pronouncing Herb instead of (h)Erb... because there's a f***ing H in it.
That was my exact sly little reference :)
@@andrewhuang Which makes sense if you are Eddie, and speak a UK dialect of English - but not as much sense if you use the American English dialect for every single other word ... except solder :P Dialects are a bit like musical keys, some words (pronunciations) are shared between two of them and some are very dissonant when stuck into the wrong key. It sounds just as wrong when a brit or an aussie says it the American way as it does when you say it their way, not because either is wrong, but because of the aural context around it. The L is silent in most of the North American English dialects. But you seem like a free jazz micro-tonal kinda guy, own the dissonance :)
It's so strange that they do that when the other colonies didn't. I guess their much earlier disconnection from the empire meant they weren't kept in line with the source language so much. There's other words that I've noticed they do it with too:
Gram - Graham
Carmel - Caramel
Language is so alive and constantly changing. It's fascinating.
@@robertszynal4745 I think it is useful to keep in mind that the vast majority of the North American landmass was initially settled by the Spanish and French. The formally British colonies are really a very limited area along one coast. It isn't as if those people vanished as areas became part of the USA (or part of Canada). And when those areas became states (or provinces) later, they were mostly resettled by new immigrants in various waves with no English colonial history. On the east coast it is caramel - in the Midwest is is 'carmel'. This is, of course, thanks to the very diverse makeup of all of the French, German, Dutch, Norwegian, Swedish, Polish, Irish, Belgian, etc. communities speaking English with one another forming a new local dialect with all sorts of new flavor added. Rejecting, bullying, and shaming people for speaking their local dialect is ... sigh.
You and your team are onto something new entirely, absolutely bonkers post-youtube direction.
I've never been waiting harder for a new video upload
Andrew, I love this series. It’s brilliant!!!
I’ve had that overdrive pedal in my basement for years and only just found it now. Love it
This is so great. Amazing effort went into this
I just love how this is happening to Andrew (being in space with aliens) and we have collectively just accepted it
Andrew. You are unique and special in the world of video and entertainment. A useful, fun and funny first half, and then the most unexpected masterful second half. That chorus is stunning and I am jealous. It feels like a classic. What is the song? Where can I listen to it, other than this video? It's amazing how you put it all together. Slick yet casual. Big love TO ya!
That was great. Thank you for sharing this
My goodness. This is official. Amazing 🔥🔥
Re:soldering iron, as a guitarist, I think soldering is a very invaluable skill. If you know how to solder and a very basic understanding of electricity, you can repair your guitar wiring if it ever messes up. You can also build pedals for cheap
the quality of andrews videos are insane. mad respect
The close up of the tuner during the chord change. Pretty darn cool.
This is Huang’s funniest upload yet. He’s in his element! Keep kicking ass, man!0
Andrew with the left hook, that storyline made me live things, well done!
Super informative man. Thanks for passing on your thoughts! Great video btw holy crap. I’d like to produce at that level.
After the space saga I really want a breakdown for how you managed to pull this thing off, suuuper impressive
Thanks for advocating the corrent pronunciation of solder, Andrew
Andrew - you're in space now? I feel like I missed something. Amazing prod. values tho.
Yes he is in space now
Don't be silly.
Do you know how long it takes to edit all that footage?
He probably got back weeks ago.
Honestly, nowadays, so much gear is good. There’s less bad gear than there is good gear. Thanks, China 😂
Today, the problem is usually not gear. The problem is distractions :D
Andrew Huang, bringing some of the best music gear review in the midst of an epic sci-fi adventure while an alien crystal raps content on TH-cam.
When is there going to be a Andrew Huang Discord server? I'd love to chat with people about this series! Love it.
Wtf is this video production quality. Who are you! Amazing review of the products and story and music Holy crap. Absolute wow quality. Keep making awesome vids!
This is creative as fudge! Love it
appreciate your work as always
I use desk mounted mic stands, if they are too cheap the metal sheet on the bottem, where you affix it to the desk, can bend and break. Especially the C shaped ones with the screw.
Damn Andrew - all these suggestions are 🔥. Also, just buy used pedals on Reverb or eBay.
Maximum respect for pronouncing solder right!!! I don't think I've heard you swear before but this was necessary! Kudos!
I came to look for music gear, I left with Andrew as my favourite rapper
Electro-Harmonix's pedals are generally pretty affordable for what they are. Most versions of the Big Muff fuzz are well under £100, a lot of their overdrive are £50-£60, and the Ocean's 11 reverb is a bit pricier at £125 but is the most fully featured reverb I've seen at that kind of price.
Great video! I like the suggestions and the music with the story at the end was great. I would like to see more of that content - the story and music.
As far as what to do next in your story - write it and see where it might go.
