bro track A's drums were fire idk what u talking about, maybe it's just preference, but that shi slapped fr, i like track A more, the dryness and tightness of drums A i think were just nicer than the wetter, pre-shifty clap feel of track B
Yes, this is a little too much overthinking, normal people won't actually care for any of this and they prob could not even tell the difference. This is more like a creative option, wich is fine obviously
I recently got into music production. I play guitar but otherwise I'm starting from scratch. I'm so glad for the algorithm because your videos are insanely well made and help me so much. Thank you for being amazing!
Great advice for those getting started! Overtime the ear grows and makes it easier to distinguish the right sound and wrong sounds for any given project! Subbed!
I'm so happy I ever clicked on one of ur videos cuz people are missing out on u. The humor, editing and educating us, ur really doing it all. Also that plottwist of u using the same sounds in track A and that other beat explains really well how drums sometimes unexplainably just dont fit even though they sound good on their own. you better never stop making these or ill come and get u
Great video! I think expanding your vocabulary is essential, especially in audio since a lot of people usually refer to the same concepts but through different names, so that can confuse you if you're a beginner (a trick to help with this is to not limit yourself to watching tutorials from people who only use your DAW. Every software has it's own way of organizing and naming things, but in essence the concepts are the same). In the case of sound selection, listening to the textures and feel of the sound, and trying to describe it is a great exercise. Just by saying "that kick is kinda subby" really helps a lot. It's about familiarizing yourself with the sound and feel and making that conscious connection when you're analyzing music, so when you're making your own and you come across different sounds, you'll relate them to your own personal guides and words that you came up with, which will already move you in a certain creative direction, and that's good. Also, you can tell a lot about a sound just by looking at it's waveform!
Choosing the right samples helps when establishing the character for your track but there's so much processing and production you can do beyond that to elevate the track. When you learn how to engineer your own percussion using basic synthesis or sample flipping and edit it that's typically where you start dialing in the precise sound. The foundation for a lot of electronic genres starts with 808 samples - but you can get into modular synthesis to create some highly custom drum sounds.
Really good points! More critical sound selection really helped make my music sound better. When i listen to older demos i can clearly hear how bad i was at it once. I'll also add that allowing myself to use reference tracks helped build a good ear for sound selection in different genres. Love the humor you put into these videos!
I also love how dont oversell it either bro, but hey if it means anything maybe moving us to the upper levels could later unlock that creativity that is tough to get to.
Look like the preview image of the video is inverted. I mean, if your goal is to sound like everyone, yes, use splice. But I don’t know if we can say it’s a « pro » way to select your sounds. Think to the sounds you want and the sound design you would like before or you’re just gonna buy all splice samples to try on your music. There’s not an infinity of kick snares etc… once you have some sample packs try to find the ones you prefer, think to the reason why you like them, and work with them to make them sound different on each track with what you said. Time, texture, frequency.
@@camus.mp3 ok I get the idea :) overprocess the tracks is the best way to ruin the sound. Keep going with your videos, they’re refreshing and unique, you explore some ideas other video maker don’t explore about music.
Hi! Jazz pianist / amateur producer here. Really loved the video, but I have one thing that I really don’t understand. Why don’t pro producers use Drum Rack in ableton live?
Processing reasons . Arranging FX and EQs individually on kicks, snares, etc., rather than combining everything on the drum rack channel. They Group the drum channels and then apply a subtle effect to them .
some people do, I think most of it is down to preference and workflow - I personally like working with audio samples a fair bit and like seeing each track individually. What @punkrockrt said although you CAN do individual processing on them, it's just a bit less intuitive, prefer seeing them individually
Really nice video, though not as refined as the piano playing one of yours that I've just watched right before this one. Here you don't explain as much of the process and the parts that I'm still stuck with… the reasons to pick one sound over another and how they work together. I'll watch again later though so maybe I'll have a deeper understanding after. Keep on doing all this bro, I subscribed right away, and that's not something I do often.
Very valid mate - made this one a while ago so still learning - in answer to that it’s an annoying one of intuition these days but that develops by listening to which types of sound work with each other in different genres and then experimenting in your own music to find cool combos. A lot of it is taste though
track A sounds better track B sounds like a break where you just minimized the kick drum. To you, it might sound like a monumental shift, but to 99.9% of the people who listen to it they will prefer track A because it sounds like it just bangs harder
This channel gonna blow up
As long as you're still here x
Fr
thats what im sayin
bro stop dropping all of these gems the gem police gon catch you
whoop whoop
i like the drums in track a more
yeah it's all just whatever works for ur workflow imo

Really is a learning process over time :)
@@camus.mp3 exactly!
This is like theory for production. I enjoy these conversations and practices. Chris Deep Henderson does intriguing breakdowns like this.
YEAH thank you dude - there's a lot of un-talked-about ideas with production

YEAH this is a terrific comment, the whole thing about thinking about the sounds in a way that makes sense to YOU is essential imo
YOU ATE SIR
never comment again

Bro your energy is amazing
ahhh thank you
Your song is so good I’m crying 😢
I need it to be released NOW
This guy's going places

Love the humor you put into these videos!
Yeahh there's such a stigma we give ourselves to not 'copy' at first but in reality that's where the real learning comes - cheers :))
I love how how you it comes from a place of studying the greats!
Amazing work bro, chapeau!
Dude, we appreciate all that you do for the music community
legend
bro this is gold
🫡
the video editing is insane
thank youu i genuinely spent too long on it hahahaha
@@camus.mp3 it looks like that !
thank u so much for this this is such a helpful video
Much obliged
I also love how dont oversell it either bro, but hey if it means anything maybe moving us to the upper levels could later unlock that creativity that is tough to get to.
YEAH i guess it's just a question of time - if I'm not doing that I'm improving something else
bro is so underrated
Merci, I'm impressed with quality of your channel ! C'est carrément inspirant, merci !!
merci beaucoup
Legendary advice man cheers
wait this is so huge i love you so much
rich
that was great, thank you
this entire video was fye in every aspect
you’re a g
Your video editing skills are so good, how long have you been doing this? :D
Thank youu - still learning :) youtube only seriously this year but did a bit of tiktok a few years ago
great advice!
literal vibes

yeah the thumbnail is a bit click baity I'll admit - I think I was going for 'choosing the right sounds > overprocessing'
@@camus.mp3 ok I get the idea :) overprocess the tracks is the best way to ruin the sound.
Keep going with your videos, they’re refreshing and unique, you explore some ideas other video maker don’t explore about music.
I fix that by trying to fix the phase of the drums, or the same way as u do
Great vid !
Bro thats awesome you've figured all this out by yourself. Do you know any cool producers communities you might wanna share? (like discord serv..)
Thinking of starting my ownnn but disclosure’s one is so og

YES THANK YOU
THANK YOU
track a sounds like groove and better i think
I love you holyyyyyyy
get in
🔥
How would this apply if you wanna make something experimental avant gardeish stuff?
I’m probably not the right guy to answer this - but like go wild and experiment I guess
what if im colorblind
Track A sounds better, it's more vowen together than track b, which sounds like overprocessed shaite
haha ok
Why I’m a Behringer Producer?
Probably because I use the:
Behringer Swing and Behringer Vintage!
P.S. I writ this before properly reading the title.
track A sounds better
track B sounds like a break where you just minimized the kick drum.
To you, it might sound like a monumental shift, but to 99.9% of the people who listen to it they will prefer track A because it sounds like it just bangs harder
Good video but lazy cop out at end
hahaha ok
P r o m o S M
lol bedroom ahh producer trying to convince people professionals use splice ai sounds (available to EVERYONE) to make their tracks sound good 😭😭😭
you would be surprised on how many big producers uses these "available to everyone" sounds in the industry to make hits
I think we need to remember that one of the biggest songs of the summer, Espresso, was built around a splice sample
@@Sitskier123Also, tons of hit songs have used default logic/GarageBand loops.
is this some kind of joke?
Track A sounded better tho
valid
Love how guys with not produced tracks and no subscribers tell people differences between pros and amateurs lol
Like people who have never played football coach?
