More videos like this please!!! Just for music creation TH-cam channels in general. TH-cam is flooded with “finished product/cut to the chase” type music creation videos that showcase ONLY the creative and fun side of music creation, but never the monotonous, lack of inspiration having, painstakingly technical, and sometimes even downright frustrating side of music creation. I perfectly understand why TH-camrs and companies looking to sell you a product give you the clean, easy, and energetic side of things, but, for the most part, it can be inaccurate and misleading. Especially for guys like myself who’re just starting out in music production, it’s even a little intimidating. It can make you feel rather inferior because you’re not able to create some insane beat in “less than 15 minutes”, when these music production videos make it look so easy, simple, and unencumbered of a process. Honestly, it can lead one to question their own abilities after while🤔lol...So a big thank you for making this honest uncut video. Subscribed!!!
Please do more videos like this, but also with the second part of the production: going to arrangement view and placing everything into the finished song(uncut video would be great :D ) Thanks for making these videos! They are super helpful for me as I'm just starting my real experience with production, so thanks again!
This was a great video. For a beginner like myself, it’s helpful to see an experienced producer go through the process. I tend to get overwhelmed with all the preset options and then frustrated when sounds don’t come together quickly. This helped me to remember that it is a matter of experimenting with sound combinations, and that it’s OK to throw something out if it’s not working.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! I'd love to see a video where you go further into it, do the arrangements. Some thought into arrangement theory would be nice too. IE: What is a prequel, hook, etc.? I can make guesses but having good guidelines to use would be very helpful and you'd be surprised how many instructors omit things like that!
love the honesty with it all. its all a journey and we love it from start to finish. getting to the actual FINISH tho is almost a myth bc in the beginning if something gets lost is the translation and you lose the spark, it just becomes another unfinished project. #dontoverthink #fliko
I truly enjoy watching the uncut versions of your beat making process. I’m just starting to learn this stuff and seeing the process done by someone who already knows how to do this ; makes me feel more comfortable and confident. I’m actually reading the Audio Mixing book (by Roey Izhaki) you recommended on another video of yours. Thank you for sharing your gift. Your videos (a long with a few good people in my life) inspire me to follow my dreams.
Taetro, you teach and explain things so beautifully. I've been loving your videos and could watch them for hours, some I've watched multiple times. Thanks for being here to do this for us. I wish you all the support and success life has to offer.
Thank you for making such a truthful video. This is the kind of instructional videos that other instructors need to model upon. You did not miss a step in your explanations; let alone admitting that it is a time-consuming process. Other instructors would have suave away with their 3 seconds on-screen instructions and left all students behind biting the dust.
Great video. I'm completely new to music production (and have no real music background just enjoy it). I like this kind of video as it shows what goes into the process more. I don't understand some of what's being done as I'm still finding my way around things but that's part of the fun. I'm just starting out and getting setup with Ableton, launchpad and an old keystep although I'm thinking I maybe need to get something newer than that.
This is so helpful. Seeing the process in real time, the changes you made, scrapping your initial idea, really helps with normalizing how sometimes things just don't flow. Thanks for this! 🙂
Just got my first MIDI controller and have watched a few of your vids to get myself in the right mindset. These uncut sessions with your commentary are absolutely great! Next I need some help with arranging; will take a look at your other content.
Very helpful video Taetro. It's good to see how you overcome your struggle when you don't find the right sound. It happens to everyone and it's very important to know when we head to the right direction or the wrong one. Thank you!
Your Uncut videos are amazing!! Its like a masterclass for learning and it keeps it real for those of us that love to see everything behind creation. Yes the finished product type of video tutorials great but this helps us how to understand overcoming writing/sound/arrangement obstacles. Thank you!
I see that RG350 sitting on the side. But for real, these help me a lot. I'm a 15 year percussionist self taught, and a 17 year rhythm guitarist self taught and I am beginning to get into making various genres of music and Daws and such and these just really help me get in the right mind set and start playing around with things and layering them. I love these style videos.
Loved when you got to the melody on Strings, tried a couple that just didn't fit and landed on that vibraphone sounding pad. So fun to watch, thank you sir!
Subscribed, liked. I've seen a few of your videos now, would love to see more uncut stuff like this. Sometimes it becomes discouraging when the finished product seems so natural and easy, it's inspiring to see the process isn't always so smooth. Thanks, Taetro!
This is super helpful with learning the thought process going into making a beat! As a new blood in producing, and a new fan of yours with plenty to learn.. I'm wondering if there's any way I could pick your brain on a few things
Do you have a video out that shows you arranging this into a full song? I'm not seeing it in the recommended. =( Regardless, this is amazing stuff man. Thanks for showing your process.
Love the video thanks dude!!! For beginners like myself, I think it would be immensely valuable to see side-by-sides of what you're doing in Ableton WHILE making the beat (like adjusting timing for tracks, keeping everything in time, starting/stopping, etc). Using the midi is the easy part....but bringing it all together in ableton can be clunky for me. Food for thought!
@@Taetro no problem ...i learn a lot from you and seeing you produce this raw and seeing do this like when you like or not like something or feel kinda rubbish you are producing is just bloody great
Good work dude! 🤜🏻 Used to watch your stuff along time ago, and just recently come back across it again. Taetro my friend!....you have a new subscriber 👍🏻
This was amazing, thank you! And this is where I get stuck and I have trouble with the arrangement and don’t know what the terms are. Can’t wait for that video ❤️
Thanks for this. Just got back into creating music after over a decade away so really interesting to see how other people work and create. Splice looks great too, going to sign up for the trial 👍
i have been looking for videos like this, but you are not explaining what you are ding at all really, please do this again but explain what you are doing in ableton. also a video on how you set up ableton for use with your midi keyboard to do livelooping would be amazing.
Thank you for a great video! I'm only 11 minutes in rn, but I had to also say awesome keyboard! NO! Why dump.... As I'm typing, lol. That was a vibe. lol
Good day sir.. please between the akai MPK Mini and the Alexis v25, which one should I go for. I'm going to the store tomorrow and I'm a little confused about the two, please which one is the best for me to go for. I mean the one that is strong the most and will last longer if probably maintained..and easy to use too. thanks
Do you have the volocity on the mpk’s drum pads set to a fixed value? It looks like it on the drum’s midi. I just got my mpk two days ago and I find the drum pads a bit stiff, they take more force than I would like to reach full velocity. Any tips? Also great video man, these really help me ❤️
On that specific midi keyboard that he is using there is a button to make the pads full level. So no matter how soft or hard he pushes it its the same level. Just noticed you comment 6 months ago hope I’m not too late lol
Does this song stays as a loop or do you have an extra process not shown? Can you show that? After you have a loop like this (dope loop btw) what's your next step?

You should create a Skillshare class! I love your narration and vids:)
uncut is exactly what i was looking for as that's where the actual thought process is.
perfect!

Of course we want more of these videos. Is so great to see you making a beat and
your process

thanks I needed sth like this ;)
thanks for watching 😁

Thank you for this post....making music out of the blue is so challenging and watching this shows that l am not alone

Hpw to put kick in drum pad?
Very helpful video Taetro. It's good to see how you overcome your struggle when you don't find the right sound. It happens to everyone and it's very important to know when we head to the right direction or the wrong one. Thank you!
yes! I always want to show the hard parts of beat making as well
when i get my studio set up i’m definitely coming back to this channel! 💯
Your Uncut videos are amazing!! Its like a masterclass for learning and it keeps it real for those of us that love to see everything behind creation. Yes the finished product type of video tutorials great but this helps us how to understand overcoming writing/sound/arrangement obstacles. Thank you!
Raw and uncut, good stuff my brotha

haha yup! love the rg350.
I'm glad to hear you like this kind of video. I'll try to make more soon!
Truly needed & valuable. Thank you!
I love these types of videos man, keep it up
Amazing… went through the whole thing. More of these please.
This was very useful.Thanks
I'm glad!
Loved when you got to the melody on Strings, tried a couple that just didn't fit and landed on that vibraphone sounding pad. So fun to watch, thank you sir!
As a musician myself almost all of our steps in making music is similar! Good video
When not feeling it, playing with the same instruments is very smart! *taking notes*
that was a lot of fun you are a great first time seeing your teaching skills im a fan now i got so mucj out of thst thank you
literally a GOD of music
thanks dude really appreciate it
Amazing!! I can't wait for the second part, really good workflow, very straight foward!

Great tutorial, awesome session...got my first Akia MPK a couple of days ago. Your tutorial was really helpful.
Do you have a video out that shows you arranging this into a full song? I'm not seeing it in the recommended. =(

THAT WAS FIRE!!!
This is beautiful.
Great to see your process. I've taken notes on the steps you took. I'll emulate them in my process. Cheers mate.!!
Thanks for making this. Gonna take some time to follow along and get more comfortable in Ableton 👍🙏
great let me know how it goes!
This is my favorite content. You should consider making a course - I think alot of people would pay for it
Amazing video Taetro ❤
Good work dude! 🤜🏻 Used to watch your stuff along time ago, and just recently come back across it again. Taetro my friend!....you have a new subscriber 👍🏻
I really like this video, thanks for that!!
So glad!
Keep doin your thing bro🔥
This was amazing, thank you! And this is where I get stuck and I have trouble with the arrangement and don’t know what the terms are. Can’t wait for that video ❤️
I will do it soon!
When I make it just know it’s because of you ☝️🙏🏻
Shout me up from the stage at the Grammys ✌🏻
Thanks for these videos man! It’s really helpful. It’d be great to have a companion video showing how you do the arrangement and mixing!
I'm seriously considering it!
Love the honest straightforward explanation and thought processes. Any old equip for sale, for a beginner of course?🤖🎹🥝
I feel like I really learned a lot from this, super helpful and nice to see the process in real-time. Thanks!
This was awesome!
How do you keep the track rolling when you start to making music 🎶 I am using mixcraft 8 I support you from day one ☝🏽 thanks 🙏🏽
This is so useful and translates to any genre of music.
lovely.thanks teacher.
This was such an amazing video. It was very insightful. As a beginner I really appreciate this
I’ve been waiting for another one of these vids! They’re just soooo helpful!
:) might do a follow up soon!
thanks so much for that video! :)
would love to see one about your arrangement process too!
it's coming!!
Hell yah! More. More. More.
:) will do Jay!
more uncut video with akai mini mpk, thank you for this one, best wishes
Thanks for this Taetro! 🙌🏻
Thanks for this. Just got back into creating music after over a decade away so really interesting to see how other people work and create. Splice looks great too, going to sign up for the trial 👍
yes splice is great for your workflow!
Thanks bro! Great stuff and very enlightening!
I appreciate what you do man. Thank you. Please more of this
I for sure will!
i have been looking for videos like this, but you are not explaining what you are ding at all really, please do this again but explain what you are doing in ableton. also a video on how you set up ableton for use with your midi keyboard to do livelooping would be amazing.
Right I should totally create videos based on your exact questions that are literally answered across the 600+ videos on this channel
Its nice to see again your mpk mini 😍
yup! gotta keep it fresh :)
I noticed you have several mini midi controllers....which one you love most or feel more friendly and comfortable.?
i love high notes like a violin piano flute or a midi keyboard lol
Amazing! Thank you so much!
Glad you like it!
Thank you for this video! could you do one of these in the arrangement phase?
I watched this all the way through legit amazing ! :) I hope one day my videos are as good as yours!
amazing thank you!
I learnt a lot from this, thanks so much!
N I finally landed here👍😮 I wanted this sooooooo much👍🙏
Thank you for a great video! I'm only 11 minutes in rn, but I had to also say awesome keyboard! NO! Why dump.... As I'm typing, lol. That was a vibe. lol
Currently at 18 min. The Vibe is Crazy. I get why you scratched, lol.
I took advantage of the free month of skill share and took a course on trap music production. It lead to my best track yet!
Is this long you take to compose all beats? We need to move slowly one layer at a time??? I thought you just jump to the main rhythm beat
Production is haaaarrrrrd
Great video man! ❤️
thanks James!
Do you have a video on where you get your samples from/ any packs you recommend for beginners
chapeu mon frere
this was helpful
Thank you so much , good stuff te get motivated
What programs you use on the computer
Another great video Well Done!😃
Thank you Axis!
Hey!! I was wondering if maybe you could do an in depth video of how you film your videos (stuff like camera placement)
gonna work on it!
Where do you get a "basic audio processing" kit?
Good day sir.. please between the akai MPK Mini and the Alexis v25, which one should I go for. I'm going to the store tomorrow and I'm a little confused about the two, please which one is the best for me to go for. I mean the one that is strong the most and will last longer if probably maintained..and easy to use too. thanks
Alexis v25
You have earned my sub
Amazing video. Are you able to share your mastering chain?
anyone know how to highlight and mark all the transients in the sample? around 17:54 THANKS
How did you add the Akai software to Ableton
Do you have the volocity on the mpk’s drum pads set to a fixed value? It looks like it on the drum’s midi. I just got my mpk two days ago and I find the drum pads a bit stiff, they take more force than I would like to reach full velocity. Any tips? Also great video man, these really help me ❤️
sometimes I just bring the velocities up manually to be even. practice practice on those mpk pads!
On that specific midi keyboard that he is using there is a button to make the pads full level. So no matter how soft or hard he pushes it its the same level. Just noticed you comment 6 months ago hope I’m not too late lol
Nice groove 👊
what's the id on your keyboard? not talking mpk mini of course, love your videos btw
Does this song stays as a loop or do you have an extra process not shown? Can you show that? After you have a loop like this (dope loop btw) what's your next step?
this is the video you're looking for! th-cam.com/video/D9sN00XhJvA/w-d-xo.html
A big thanks taetro :)
thanks for watching Vishesh
Pretty dope! where did you get the computer keyboard at?
awespme
Cool tutorial, also i want to ask that according to what do you choose which controller want to use ? Thanks 🙏🏼
depends how I'm feeling on the day - I also just like to keep a good rotation for content purposes
What is that Gameboy lookin thing on the left of the desk?? :)
1000th like 👍
Awesome! 👏
:) thank you as always Bashia
