    You know, what I love most about your videos is that you get straight to the point and you stay on it. You don't ramble, you don't joke around, you don't insert goofy animated faces or stupid sound effects or other distracting oddities I find in some other videos, and you don't try to be a comedian. It's all just useful information. Thank you for that!

    Im new to FL studio and this has just cleared my thoughts. Most beginner tutorials just skip and say do this and that u can use this effects and plugins "as beginners" but this video is just pretty simple focusing on the basic but still able to thoroughly show without having to use much plugins which actually confuses me of their functions.

    EDIT - I said the key way C major but it's actually D Dorian (Same notes but different root) Sorry for this but it's easy to make silly mistakes when the pressure of filming is on and I did all of this on the spot so didn't take the time to consider the scale properly. At the end of the day I just go by ear anyway but sorry for any confusion!
    Should I make more videos about arrangement and song structure?

  • @lyndon717
    @lyndon717 5 ปีที่แล้ว +176

    This is an amazing tutorial. Most tutorials don't actually show you how to do anything, they're just basically a montage of someone using some expensive plugin to make a complex song. Even just the fact that you said which keys to press rather than just assuming we know everything about the DAW makes you a step above everyone else. amazing job!

  • @Nicoladen1
    @Nicoladen1 3 ปีที่แล้ว +73

    After 5 years of making loops this has been the video that helped me finally tackle proper arrangement and songwriting. I literally have over 600 projects of which 95% are just small loops/ideas. And the rest are poorly arranged songs. I have some great ideas, just never had the motivation to continue any because I was lacking structure and at least a somewhat decent arrangement.

    I have a LOT to learn from you.
    Been making music forever now.
    And while I have the skill necessary to execute my ideas on an instrument & am rarely low on ideas in terms of melodies, my technical prowess on the computer is very much lacking. I find that messing with the DAW, searching for plugins I want, trying to do mixing, mastering or other things of the like kills my creative enthusiasm as I feel like a blind, dumb baby much of the time.
    I'm happy that I found your channel is what I'm saying.
    Thank you for putting this out.

    • @arghydoodles1921
      @arghydoodles1921 ปีที่แล้ว

      Someone said (I think Michael actually) to not bother mixing until the end, so I guess you might want to focus on your melodies first? As opposed to spending time looking for plugins and the overall sound/mix or whatever. This might help the motivation because the progress will come out differently.

  • @jaserace3101
    @jaserace3101 ปีที่แล้ว

    This is a great tutorial for anyone (like myself) who may have poor organisation skills, maintaining structure which will affect time management when creating music.
    I watch this video & at times I'll tell myself, 'I know it already' because I've watched it before & may not want to. But I feel this is a small amount of time worth spending to avoid a feeling of disappointment in lost creations. I have lost many years with left over messy projects that went nowhere because of my own mental barriers that I had difficulty addressing.
    Now more aware of those barriers, when I make that 1st riff, I'll STOP! Then I'll make myself a cuppa. Then I sit back for 20mins, watch & listen to your video.
    Instead of allowing my hyperactive mindset I've suffered with most of my life, this has been so easy for my mindset to accept as the right balance of mental discipline I've needed for my music creative personally. Thank you for such a great simple video that I can focus on a simplified technique that has structured what is essentially now 'my studio time' 🙏🏼😊

    I've been looking for a video like this for so long! It always feels impossible to have a good starting point to build out from (as a huge newb with ideas, but lacking deft skill to carry them out).
    Your workflow, shortcuts, and song creation process are just what I need! Thank you!

    that "making sure to keep it organized and sounding not cluttered" for motivation was so relatable. Same here, if it becomes cluttered and i cant find the melody im looking for it harder to come back and work on it cause it feels like alot of work to do. And nobody wants to just start over.. man that was mad relatable.
    Now I wish someone could do this for bandlab because i find BL online daw so much easier.. everything you did in this video could be done 10x faster on BL like the effects and reversing clips etc. and BL UI is incredibly easy to learn and understand.
    You should check it out and make this kind of video for BL, taking one loop and making a full song with or without other loops.
