"When I was a kid, I had to kill coyotes in order to save up for a record. I'd only get 5 cents a pelt, and I didn't use those new-fangled guns either. I had to use a slingshot. It took me three whole coyotes to earn enough money to buy Master of Reality."
Heh....'When I was a kid, and I wanted to practice jazz songs, I had to wait by the radio for my song to come on and I could play along'. BTW...true story.
Life must’ve sucked for the boomers, imagine saving up all your money to listen to a flop and then deceiving yourself into thinking it’s the best thing ever and hating the ability to stream any song any time
Oh, you were lucky! When I was a kid, I had to shine shoes on the dusty streets for a nickel a pair. I'd be out there from dawn till dusk, polishing boots with nothing but an old rag and some spit. Took me a hundred pairs to save up enough for a Lynyrd Skynyrd record. And I tell ya, I didn't even have a proper record player; had to borrow one from a neighbour just to hear it!
I don’t agree with everything Rick says but I agree with his point about music consumption. Getting access to all the music ever for just 9.99 a month has devalued it. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve looked forward to an album, loved it and moved on to the next one like it was nothing
I think that's just how you treat music I'm still very attached to songs & albums from years ago and always will be. The amount of money I spend has no effect on it
Solution is simple. Some of my artists have been realising new albums track by track in monthly or different pace that is good enough to build up tension and convince most listeners to buy physical copies. After promoting, albums were and are available on Spotify for everyone . And that's good, at least no one is forcing artists to put music on streaming services but that is addition is also necessary in my music collection to keep track what I listen or take the music with me anywhere.
The internet was only on 4 hours a day and it was in black and white. We used to have fun though. Gathered round the piano singing Taylor Swift songs, or at least imagining what something like a Taylor Swift might sound like. When she did come into existence it was amazing how accurate my grandma's predictions were.
Fantano also made a great point that people have always made shitty music, but the shitty music of the past was just as easily forgettable as today. But with more time to forget lol
If you go to the historical record? Many people thought the pipe organ was cheating. No kidding. Bach tried his whole life to get a job as a composer. He got a teaching job (the best teach or people would learn rocket science at concerts), and Bach worked on the side tuning, fixing, and making organs. This whole process. From RB to the commentary? Was what they said about this new, cheating, fake instrument: the pipe organ. Bach played pipe organs. No one took him seriously. He lived. Passed. And no one cared. No pomp. No real anything. Another old guy who played the fake instrument, the pipe organ. Bach had a student. That student was a Royal. He taught his kids about Bach. One of the students’ grandkids doing concerts and writing by and about Bach (long after we lost Bach) …this was the first time Bach was acknowledged for his music and playing. Yes. Literally. Paraphrasing: “Kids these days think the pipe organ is real. It is fake. It’s a reed instrument with keys. That is not music. They are not real musicians. They are not playing music” ~ famous musicians in Bach’s time. Great video. Your work is real. Thanks for putting something into these videos. For real. Rock On 🤘~ stefan
All employments Bach had included the obligation to compose, as exclusive "composer" did not exist in the 18th century. His employment as Cantor in Leipzig was a very prestigeous job. Could you name that royal student and the famous musician that declared pipe organs to be a fake? I have spend a good ten years studying Bachs life, and what you write sounds very weird tbh.
My knowledge of music history is thin, but exists. Domenico Scarlatti was a contemporary to JS Bach. Scarlatti married into the Spanish court and taught music lessons to a princess) while he wrote extensively for the Harpsichord. Did people in Spain refer to harpsichords as "fake guitars/harps"? If that was the sentiment, why would he be paid to teach "fake instruments" to royals? I'm willing to change my mind or be informed of new information, just not without some documentation. Until then: "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet" -- *Abraham Lincoln* (especially if it is framed to make the art of modernity seem significantly more fashionable).
Thank You 🙏. I’ll go find what you are mentioning. I don’t utilize 1 source. I usually verify 6-12 times, over years. Not saying it is unquestionable, especially to someone with so much time in, you. So, first: no offense meant. Very sorry about any stress. I wasn’t being glib. Bach is the composer that didn’t like the piano so it looks like a lazy reference. Makes sense (what you mentioned and asked for). Again. Apologies. Many people at the time saw the organ as cheating because it emulates sound using mechanical means. And I will try to find 1 for you. I’ll do a vid so I’m not doing history in someone’s comments. Definitely not trying to get traction here. And. Yes. What you are saying is correct. We are looking back with modern eyes. He primarily fixed organs, played at church, and taught music at an orphanage. He was obligated as they were serious obligations. He constantly sought bigger appointments and was not successful the way he wanted to be. I love his resume, as is. The Royal mentioned that brought his work to attention is a quick find. There were Bach’s journals of his songs and it wasn’t complete. Like people still debating whether he wrote Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 now. And he also did what we call “covers.” I believe 70-100 years after he passed there was a recital organized that led to a revival of his work in the form of the first attempt at a catalog of Bach’s works. I will go look and find what you asked. I’m curious as well for the specific things you said. The Royal whose grandparent was Bach’s student either organized the recital or was part of it if I am taking too long. My main sources for what I am saying here are Bach’s translated notes and journals, Encyclopaedia Britannica, and historical translation of Bach’s annotations from the BWV catalog. Not saying that is iron clad as I read translated content. I value the actual story like you are mentioning. Any inaccuracy from me, or the sources is entirely accidental. Thank you again for helping clarify @@johannalvarsson9299 …and a serious apology to you and everyone for creating any ruffled anything. Meaning: I apologize for every millisecond of stress having to ask for clarification. Have a good weekend, if that is possible or cool to say ~ stefan
Thank You 🙏. I wasn’t talking about harpsichords and you make a great point @@brianbergmusic5288 …what I mentioned were opinions of the organ in Bach’s time- the majority of the planet didn’t know what an organ was so it would be a comment limited to opinion of people local to Bach or people that knew of him and organs, not popular opinion. I apologize for any vagueness on my part. Your comment is intense. I will go and check that out (for fun). The books are there. I’m not a professional historian. I’m a history enthusiast. And your knowledge is impressive. I’m doing a video on this to avoid mass comments in someone else’s stream. I will definitely get a certified expert on this and run it all by them or ask them to do an interview to clarify. Not my usual thing and I appreciate what you and others have said here. I apologize about any stress caused here, to you or anyone ~ stefan
I think the point is when making music, ultimately, you can’t exclusively rely on modern day music tech tools because it becomes a crux and sucks out the creativity. Also, musicianship is still very valuable and an integral part of great music making. “I find it so amazing that when people tell me that electronic music has not got soul, and they blame the computers because they think and they point at the computer - it’s like “there’s no soul here!” It’s like, you can’t blame the computer. If there’s no soul in the music it’s because nobody put it there and it’s not the tool’s fault.” -Björk
i write multiple genres. i';m not a beat maker.. the more live instruments i can have that i can record into my DAW the better. I do like Jazz and video game stuff and some EDM and metal. rock. accordian music lol.. i even doing a steel drums and marimba tropical island theme rn for a game level. it's silly.
I was born in the 90's and got into music without having been born into a musical family, yet find myself agreeing witth everything he says and feels about the value of music. It's about how much we used to care and how it's lost because of the current technologies; it IS sad. I'M sad about everything he complains about; sterilization, quantizing, all very anti-music and anti-human as he says it is. I can't imagine someone calling themselves a musician and not having the width of understanding needed to understand what he's really complaining about. And I'm under 30, so you can't just call me an old man screaming at clouds; that's such a lame thing to say.
I was also born in the 90’s don’t be nostalgic. Those days are gone. Good music is still being made and will be made. Just because it’s different than what we grew up doesn’t make it bad.
It was never because of the technology though. It was about greedy major label CEOs. It was because Bill Clinton allowed private cable Radio and TV to form monopolies and thus kill college radio and thousands of independent record labels. So what we hear in the Top 100 is definitely not as diverse as it used to be since the nineties. If used creatively and bravely, technology can keep the progress of good music going forward. Listen to modern music by someone like David Tipper or Shpongle. They continue the tradition of what artists like Brian Wilson, The Beatles, Queen, Talking Heads have done before: Utilize the most of cutting edge technology and play the studio as if it were an instrument of it's own right. Only now instead of playing analog studios, now DAW studios are played as instruments. You know, what people like Beato don't tell you, is that back in the day, fans of Bob Dylan boycotted him because he started playing an electric guitar. "Oh dear, how can you ever get something as loud as that to create REAL music?!" Or fans of the EARLY Beatles said that Strawberry Fields wasn't the REAL Beatles anymore. (Thus Paul must certainly have died in 1966) Or EARLY rock fans saying that Jimi Hendrix wasn't REAL rock music, just a bunch of noise with TOO much wah-wah, distortion, phasers. Every decade has it's new purists. Disco fans complaining about House tracks being tooo long, too minimalistic.
@@John-k6f9k I'm specifically referring to popular music. There's tons of great indie music. Pop / popular music is produced by algorithm or so it seems, as it pretty much all sounds the same for the last top 40 /in the last 40 years.
@@AD-Dom What we call "pop" is light music for popular consumption. The whole idea of it goes probably as far back as music itself. I've heard typical chart music from the 40s and 50s and it's mostly just as forgettable as today's music.. Even the giants of classical music like Beethoven wrote some light music, and it was done to order. They had publishers or patrons who requested musical styles foe the composer to produce.
It's also changing for the better - it's never been more accessible to a lot more people. It's almost like he's advocating for more gatekeeping which smells of elitism.
Especially since the industry is now a trifectium: Universal, Sony, Warner And google has algorithms that make it easy to find 2h of easylisting BS - "Study/GoBraindead to 2 hours of LoFi Hip Hop/ LoFi Trance/LoFi Ambient", but impossible to find new upcoming artists.
If RB was hated by everyone, I doubt his channel would be as successful as it is. And if you don't like him, don't watch his videos. What I despise are youtubers talking bad about other youtubers just because they don't agree with what they say. But I suppose that's the way things have always been: Young people thinking they know everything already and thus dismissing those with real experience in the field! We've all been there, we've all been this stupid when we were young, and you only realise just how stupid you were once you're a bit older and more experienced.
7:59 You could still skip on vinyl or CD. But you would be more likely to give songs a chance, even if they don't immediately vibe with you. Some music has to grow on you. But having all of it accessible with one click changes behavior. People start to become like impatient radio executives, who swear they can recognize a worthwhile song in the first 30 seconds.
@@ghfjfghjasdfasdf Eh. We usually have some common ground in Weaverville… ignoring the Tommy Boy spam. Pain Town is where we find ourselves in opposing troll regiments.
There are certainly songs that take longer to appreciate, not just during the first 30 secs, but they click only after several listens to the whole song.
Why does this generation think being disrespectful to older people is cool Rick is teaching something that this next generation won't have this kind of knowledge about composing actual music
You can do a similar bingo on WWII documentary. Hitler? Check. Tanks? Check. Invading Poland? Check. Why can't they come up with original stuff and just keep repeating the same things?
Rick hits the nail on the head!!! Too many ppl don't value the music they listen to. And now we have absolute idiots pushing buttons to 'make music'. Democratization of music production is good but entrants still need base knowledge and experience to start from. Not my fave from you dude, but you propably don't play with other MUSICIANS live or record them as an actual band, so have no understanding of the musical conversation.
"Not my fave from you dude, but you propably don't play with other MUSICIANS live or record them as an actual band, so have no understanding of the musical conversation." Facts.
Weaver it would legit be funny if you make a parody video with a white hair wig in a future where all music is AI and say sht like "back in my day we had to place notes on the piano roll, we had to tune the 808, we had to sidechain the bass!" and yadda yadda lol

I like Rick and I agree with him on almost everything tbh. He knows his shit. He's a far more knowledgeable and talented composer, musician and music historian than 99% of the people shitting on him. The production quality of his videos is pretty darn good too.
Back in the day classic bands like Nirvana didn't worry about being pitch perfect and still blew away the robotic nonsense we have today. Analog is the way forward, my son Gearslutz say hi, we finished the bingo for you
technology is a blessing and a curse for society, so i necessarily dont disagree with him. Yeah it sounds grandpa and shit, but grandpa has a valid point here, we’re not designed for that kind of technological coorperate superpower which is always in our pockets. The young people can learn from old people and vice versa
As funny as it is... i understand where Rick is comin from... i don't agree with all his points but i get it and think this is a thing of generations. I am born in the 80s and i have a strong opinion about nowdays "hip-hop". I probably sound worse then Rick. I can't be objective towards nowdays hip hop due to my experience... just one example.
Back in my day, I had sell myself as a rent boy AND mow several lawns to buy my records and cassettes at the local five and dime. If I was lucky to still have some money left I could go to the picture show.
Beato is making strong points, and because of his age many choose to mock his perspective. As tech continues to advance, the barrier to entry decreases thereby increasing supply. More compeition leading to more devaluing, while the cost to get heard incrreases exponentially. Good luck to ya'll...
@@LilFeralGangrel No it's NOT elitism. That's what you're hearing, and you refuse to see the bigger picture. If you have machines and ready made packs creating the music for you, ANYONE can climb in, and everyone sounds the same. There's no sweat, no barrier of entry. The over reliance on tech is increasing supply and lowering demand. How is this such a tough concept for most people to grasp? Grow the hell up and understand all this isn't good for business. You all cry and moan about how hard it is to be heard and how so many producers don't take the craft seriously. Why would they need to take it seriously when it barely requires anything outside of 3 clicks and a computer? smh
youtube recommented this video next to ricks one edit: music is surely a lot easier to make and publish; but at his time there were a lot of cover bands, now if you make a cover nobody listens to it and they just say you copied. so it limits the creativity but at the same time you must be creative, you have to create your style ecc
Hate him or not, he's right about a lot of things. Dynamics, fluctuations in tempo, fluctuations in pitch, all gone. Sure it sounds clean and perfect but something is missing. Also, having to work for something makes you appreciate it more as does scarcity.
Even more "mundane" parts are often taken out, like hearing vocalist take a breath or the fret sounds on a guitar that are present when a human being plays it.
@@julianne_warren Listen to the beginning of stairway to heaven, there is a little fret squeak that is magical, I fear it would have been removed these days lol
@@JohnDoe-ns8ho @danderson8463 called Taetro a "knob" who sells a lifestyle aesthetic, but conceded that his content is more likely to inspire new music than what Rick does. I can't find the comment that described his behavior here as that of a "c0cc bag."
I would like to flip Rick's logic of basically having to be an old head and a luddite back onto him. Why is he using a Digital DSLR to make videos to upload to the internet? He should be recording on a film camera, recording the audio to tape, developing the film and physically splicing it to edit it. And then he could use a projector to project his useless thoughts into the sky.
He sounds Quentin Tarantino too...moans about digital not being film, whilst being a very rich man who can afford to shoot on/project film. Yet he does all his interviews on DSLR, digital, etc.
Beatto is not anti technology. He thinks that there's best tools for the job and when it comes to videos, a dslr is one of the best options. He definitely isn't some dumb old man who hates technology.
What I see is a whole lot of smaller channels going after Beato to do a bit of cashing in. And hey, it works, doesn't it? Clicked on your video and commented. I wonder if you also do good content, but not enough to take a look.
you can agree with rick but it doesnt mean you have to stop using spotify and shit like ive been producing for years and i make my living offgeneric trap beats but i still agree with what he is saying
Knowledgeable guy who is experienced in the music business as an artists and producer. His take on modern music resonates with me. People are confusing experience vs old guy. So many talented artists today that never get the light of day to be heard, instead labels are releasing all the shit they can gather for profit. Art and profit should be as far away from each other as possible. I'm hoping history will repeat itself and great music will come back.
You'd be surprised when you realize that same shit happened 30 years ago old generations telling younger generations that everything is worst know is the corniest shit this has happened forever and never been true
Rick comes from the music industry where his production and studio has failed. He knows what it looks like because he’s been around it. Things have gotten easier as well as harder of the fact that it is easier to get your stuff out there which means it’s harder to stand out. If You don’t have a platform. There is an oversaturation of music on the market, which definitely devalues some good music that’s out there because it gets missed .
On the "music is too easy to make" card it sounded like he used stock or AI generic music tracks which is actually antithetical to what his supposed argument was lol. The irony
Too easy to make. WTF? I guess Beato thinks beats made from fart samples is music? This is another example of his bullshit old school fuddy duddy views. It is only HE who makes superior music. Everyone else is cunts.
Don’t worry Weezy 40 to 50 years from now you’ll be making videos saying when I was kid we had to thumb through our songs. You kids nowadays with your auto brain music making chips and your anal tube bass bumpers are out of your minds with thats noise !😊
He's just comparing the average music nowadays with one of the best in era. Not all from 60s, 70s, 80s, etc were good. Some were hideous and they were still popular Just don't get why he does not understand this simple fact.
Uggh. It feels just like when marvel fans recoiled. Its Scorsese "Thats not cinema" 2: electric boogaloo. No ones saying people have to agree with everything, but you can always look past the generation gap to find some kernels of truth regarding modern spoils.
Back in my day we didn't haveth these fancy "phonograph" contraptions, we would don our most lavish tailcoats and our finest canes(made of pure elephant tusk ivory, of course) and gander over to our buggy, where our favorite manservant would take us to the *theatre* to feast our eyes upon one of only 3 men in Europe who composed music professionally. Thou doth not know what true music is, Sir Beato. The convenience of listening to music whenever thou desires? Preposterous!
The young dude arguing against Rick, can't be bothered to remember his name, cherry picked and strawmanned to a ridiculous degree and mostly didn't use any substantive arguments other than, "boo this guy is old". He also hilariously misunderstood a lot of what Rick said, even though none of it was especially complicated or hard to follow. I'm basically with Rick on this one. There's a lot of good music being made by non-mainstream sources right now. The mainstream now however is insultingly moronic to a an almost educationally subnormal degree. And while there was a lot of terrible stuff in the 60's thru to 90's, there were also a lot of mainstream artist producing quality music with something to say. This is not something that any intelligent person could argue now and if you do, you've got tin ears.
@@soyborne.bornmadeandundone1342 Not triggered at all. You're asinine. Come back when your rudimentary brain is able to construct an argument, even a simple one. Or better yet, simply spell, my dude.

How does he not know that you can add swing to midi?!?!? Either you can use swing settings or do it manually. Thats that entire argument nullified lmao
@@antoniocardenas14 ??? Quantised means a value is locked to a limited set of optional set possible variables. If you apply swing so the timing is off of these set variables it’s not quantised. You have the option to turn the grid off in most DAWs if you want to do it that way also so you can’t have it in on the grid in the first place.
@@wolfstar675And would you expect otherwise? I get it, everyone wants to have a good laugh about it, but tbf there’s a lot he’s saying that he’s right about.
Weaver, in all seriousness, instead of being snarky, maybe consider shutting up and listening. Rick is sharing knowledge we all should be paying attention to...
"Classical" EDM styles aren't my bag. I get what Rick's saying. I try not to over quantize the performances of my "virtual" band mates :D. I try to dial in classic sounds manually using various Amp Sims. Nobody cares but me, and that's 100% OK! On the flip side, I've tried to do stem and sample based music and I can't do that yet! I don't have the ear or the patience to go through samples trying to figure out that "fire" hook I can get by layering x,y,z samples and running them through a,b,c signal chains. There's serious musicianship there, just of a different type than I practice. There's room for all of it.
I think the genius of this guy is to cash in on unwinnable and unproductive arguments concerning music, which has been digital since the 80s. Does the man hate the compact disc? He should, per his own rhetoric. He definitely gets the algorithm and found his own niche, and he has credentials. He had a video receeating a Drake track which came across as cringe, suggesting that he could be a better producer than a lot of trap artists. But we know he isn't someone that would take rap seriously, on general principles, so I wasn't really sure how to take the video. But again this is one of the higher charting videos.
I understand how it might sound grandpa to you but, one of my many great music memories as a kid (about 13) was my friend turning me on to "Led Zep one" on his great sounding stereo(which I didn't own yet) for the very first time! And the music of that time, was like magic, coming from so many unique directions/styles! I didn't just want just the 45, I wanted the whole album. Didn't want to miss anything at all back then. Holding that record cover, reading the info offered, and sometimes admiring the art work, was part of the experience! Today, it feels more clinical, and hearing its seeming perfection just doesn't do it for me. Now I have to really search for the exceptions, the music grand banquet is over, for now at least! Just my humble 2 cents worth.....
Rick Beato is one of these guys I look up to, since I have learned a lot of things from him. Especially from his "what makes this song great" Series. As for the people who hate him.... don't this guy possesses a lot of knowledge and is a very experience. Stop hating and start learning.
You must not be a musician then. Rick Beato is extremely well respected by some of the biggest names in music because he has a massive level of music knowledge regarding theory and history. He's absolutely right about the state of modern music.
I’m turning 50 next week, so I feel like I can comment with some lived experience. Beato is simply reacting to being cute out of the pop culture focus. It’s not for him anymore, nothing is. He’s done, unless he turns back time (Cher reference). Get cut out, get bitter. Simple math.
Not entirely so. Although I disagree somewhat on the accessibility of midi and DAWs. I think its more so, he doesnt want our cultural artifacts to drown out under dead internet theory and content hypersaturation, but for our efforts in the arts to matter well into the future. Its just a balancing act is all.
He did do a lot of educational stuff back in the day. I'm quite educated musically, but I learned a lot from some of the vids, especially the stuff on deriving harmony from the Modes of limited transposition, and the modes of the harmonic/melodic minor. Stuff like set theory, pitch classes and their application to post tonal composition clicked for me after that. He probably doesn't do that now because he's got a wife.three kids and a mortgage to pay. I'd love to see more of that stuff. Unfortunately many people including musicians and producers don't want to see that stuff. You can see them in the comments now, moaning and missing the point.
We're the generation where a household will hold more jobs simultaneously then our parents had over the course of their lives. Yet we haven't worked/earned enough to enjoy/ create music?
Google trends isn’t based off the keyword search it’s based off the terms overall relevance, if someone typed in “lil b swag like Ohio” it would count towards musics overall google trend

Solution is simple.

If you go to the historical record? Many people thought the pipe organ was cheating. No kidding. Bach tried his whole life to get a job as a composer. He got a teaching job (the best teach or people would learn rocket science at concerts), and Bach worked on the side tuning, fixing, and making organs.
This whole process. From RB to the commentary? Was what they said about this new, cheating, fake instrument: the pipe organ. Bach played pipe organs. No one took him seriously. He lived. Passed. And no one cared. No pomp. No real anything. Another old guy who played the fake instrument, the pipe organ.
Bach had a student. That student was a Royal. He taught his kids about Bach. One of the students’ grandkids doing concerts and writing by and about Bach (long after we lost Bach) …this was the first time Bach was acknowledged for his music and playing.
Yes. Literally. Paraphrasing: “Kids these days think the pipe organ is real. It is fake. It’s a reed instrument with keys. That is not music. They are not real musicians. They are not playing music” ~ famous musicians in Bach’s time.
Great video. Your work is real. Thanks for putting something into these videos. For real.
Rock On 🤘~ stefan
All employments Bach had included the obligation to compose, as exclusive "composer" did not exist in the 18th century. His employment as Cantor in Leipzig was a very prestigeous job. Could you name that royal student and the famous musician that declared pipe organs to be a fake? I have spend a good ten years studying Bachs life, and what you write sounds very weird tbh.
My knowledge of music history is thin, but exists. Domenico Scarlatti was a contemporary to JS Bach. Scarlatti married into the Spanish court and taught music lessons to a princess) while he wrote extensively for the Harpsichord. Did people in Spain refer to harpsichords as "fake guitars/harps"? If that was the sentiment, why would he be paid to teach "fake instruments" to royals?
I'm willing to change my mind or be informed of new information, just not without some documentation. Until then: "Don't believe everything you read on the Internet" -- *Abraham Lincoln* (especially if it is framed to make the art of modernity seem significantly more fashionable).
I think its time you put some citations because nothing you said here has any bearing in reality.
Thank You 🙏. I’ll go find what you are mentioning. I don’t utilize 1 source. I usually verify 6-12 times, over years. Not saying it is unquestionable, especially to someone with so much time in, you. So, first: no offense meant. Very sorry about any stress. I wasn’t being glib. Bach is the composer that didn’t like the piano so it looks like a lazy reference. Makes sense (what you mentioned and asked for). Again. Apologies. Many people at the time saw the organ as cheating because it emulates sound using mechanical means. And I will try to find 1 for you. I’ll do a vid so I’m not doing history in someone’s comments. Definitely not trying to get traction here. And. Yes. What you are saying is correct. We are looking back with modern eyes. He primarily fixed organs, played at church, and taught music at an orphanage. He was obligated as they were serious obligations. He constantly sought bigger appointments and was not successful the way he wanted to be. I love his resume, as is. The Royal mentioned that brought his work to attention is a quick find. There were Bach’s journals of his songs and it wasn’t complete. Like people still debating whether he wrote Toccata and Fugue in D minor, BWV 565 now. And he also did what we call “covers.” I believe 70-100 years after he passed there was a recital organized that led to a revival of his work in the form of the first attempt at a catalog of Bach’s works. I will go look and find what you asked. I’m curious as well for the specific things you said. The Royal whose grandparent was Bach’s student either organized the recital or was part of it if I am taking too long. My main sources for what I am saying here are Bach’s translated notes and journals, Encyclopaedia Britannica, and historical translation of Bach’s annotations from the BWV catalog. Not saying that is iron clad as I read translated content. I value the actual story like you are mentioning. Any inaccuracy from me, or the sources is entirely accidental. Thank you again for helping clarify @@johannalvarsson9299 …and a serious apology to you and everyone for creating any ruffled anything. Meaning: I apologize for every millisecond of stress having to ask for clarification. Have a good weekend, if that is possible or cool to say ~ stefan
Thank You 🙏. I wasn’t talking about harpsichords and you make a great point @@brianbergmusic5288 …what I mentioned were opinions of the organ in Bach’s time- the majority of the planet didn’t know what an organ was so it would be a comment limited to opinion of people local to Bach or people that knew of him and organs, not popular opinion. I apologize for any vagueness on my part. Your comment is intense. I will go and check that out (for fun). The books are there. I’m not a professional historian. I’m a history enthusiast. And your knowledge is impressive.
I’m doing a video on this to avoid mass comments in someone else’s stream. I will definitely get a certified expert on this and run it all by them or ask them to do an interview to clarify. Not my usual thing and I appreciate what you and others have said here. I apologize about any stress caused here, to you or anyone ~ stefan
I think the point is when making music, ultimately, you can’t exclusively rely on modern day music tech tools because it becomes a crux and sucks out the creativity. Also, musicianship is still very valuable and an integral part of great music making.
“I find it so amazing that when people tell me that electronic music has not got soul, and they blame the computers because they think and they point at the computer - it’s like “there’s no soul here!” It’s like, you can’t blame the computer. If there’s no soul in the music it’s because nobody put it there and it’s not the tool’s fault.”

i write multiple genres. i';m not a beat maker.. the more live instruments i can have that i can record into my DAW the better.

I was born in the 90's and got into music without having been born into a musical family, yet find myself agreeing witth everything he says and feels about the value of music. It's about how much we used to care and how it's lost because of the current technologies; it IS sad. I'M sad about everything he complains about; sterilization, quantizing, all very anti-music and anti-human as he says it is. I can't imagine someone calling themselves a musician and not having the width of understanding needed to understand what he's really complaining about. And I'm under 30, so you can't just call me an old man screaming at clouds; that's such a lame thing to say.
I was also born in the 90’s don’t be nostalgic. Those days are gone. Good music is still being made and will be made. Just because it’s different than what we grew up doesn’t make it bad.
It was never because of the technology though. It was about greedy major label CEOs. It was because Bill Clinton allowed private cable Radio and TV to form monopolies and thus kill college radio and thousands of independent record labels. So what we hear in the Top 100 is definitely not as diverse as it used to be since the nineties.
If used creatively and bravely, technology can keep the progress of good music going forward.
Listen to modern music by someone like David Tipper or Shpongle. They continue the tradition of what artists like Brian Wilson, The Beatles, Queen, Talking Heads have done before: Utilize the most of cutting edge technology and play the studio as if it were an instrument of it's own right. Only now instead of playing analog studios, now DAW studios are played as instruments.
You know, what people like Beato don't tell you, is that back in the day, fans of Bob Dylan boycotted him because he started playing an electric guitar. "Oh dear, how can you ever get something as loud as that to create REAL music?!"
Or fans of the EARLY Beatles said that Strawberry Fields wasn't the REAL Beatles anymore. (Thus Paul must certainly have died in 1966) Or EARLY rock fans saying that Jimi Hendrix wasn't REAL rock music, just a bunch of noise with TOO much wah-wah, distortion, phasers. Every decade has it's new purists. Disco fans complaining about House tracks being tooo long, too minimalistic.
New (popular) music does suck, and it always has.
That shit has been said on every decade 🙄
Find a new argument to yell at the clouds.
"New" music has "always sucked"?
Wait.... what?
@@John-k6f9k I'm specifically referring to popular music. There's tons of great indie music. Pop / popular music is produced by algorithm or so it seems, as it pretty much all sounds the same for the last top 40 /in the last 40 years.
@@AD-Dom What we call "pop" is light music for popular consumption. The whole idea of it goes probably as far back as music itself. I've heard typical chart music from the 40s and 50s and it's mostly just as forgettable as today's music.. Even the giants of classical music like Beethoven wrote some light music, and it was done to order. They had publishers or patrons who requested musical styles foe the composer to produce.
If it turned out that this entire vid was a Rick Beato AI generated script based on his previous videos, that would have been genius
He's not wrong tho. The industry is changing for the worse.
It's also changing for the better - it's never been more accessible to a lot more people. It's almost like he's advocating for more gatekeeping which smells of elitism.

Not my fave from you dude, but you propably don't play with other MUSICIANS live or record them as an actual band, so have no understanding of the musical conversation.

"Technology bad" - Rick Beato, Always.
Michael Bublé
Completely ignoring he’s also using technology that was considered by some to be the destroyer of music when it came out.
Seems like you're using Rick Beato to get views on your channel...just sayin'
I like Rick and I agree with him on almost everything tbh.
He knows his shit. He's a far more knowledgeable and talented composer, musician and music historian than 99% of the people shitting on him.
The production quality of his videos is pretty darn good too.
Did he also teach you how to write a sentence? Lol
Get help weirdo.
Back in the day classic bands like Nirvana didn't worry about being pitch perfect and still blew away the robotic nonsense we have today. Analog is the way forward, my son

Rick beato has paid his dues! Years learning bass,keyboards,guitar drums, production! Guy,s a genius!
I've been saying old man yelling at clouds for years
So has everyone else, to the point that he made it the thumbnail.
Not adding swing to that bingo is such a rookie mistake
Weaver Beats Bingo Card: BWB, the lisp, AI, shall we go on?
People don’t like change or sharing an art they want it all to themselves. This is what that is.
Listen he produced more than a feeling for herbie: fully loaded, so clearly he knows more about good music than the rest of us.
huh?
technology is a blessing and a curse for society, so i necessarily dont disagree with him. Yeah it sounds grandpa and shit, but grandpa has a valid point here, we’re not designed for that kind of technological coorperate superpower which is always in our pockets. The young people can learn from old people and vice versa
As funny as it is... i understand where Rick is comin from... i don't agree with all his points but i get it and think this is a thing of generations. I am born in the 80s and i have a strong opinion about nowdays "hip-hop". I probably sound worse then Rick. I can't be objective towards nowdays hip hop due to my experience... just one example.
Beato Bingo is fun. I think you should update the board and keep the bingo segment.
Do it everytime Beato releases another Top 10 new songs review. I would tune in for that every time.

Plus his knowledge is phenomenal.
I hate him.

I have a difficult relationship with Rick
i dislike him greatly
Beato is making strong points, and because of his age many choose to mock his perspective. As tech continues to advance, the barrier to entry decreases thereby increasing supply. More compeition leading to more devaluing, while the cost to get heard incrreases exponentially. Good luck to ya'll...
More likes… haters eat shite
his point is "technology = bad". His second argument is that more access to music production has made music worse. It's just elitism.
@@LilFeralGangrel No it's NOT elitism. That's what you're hearing, and you refuse to see the bigger picture. If you have machines and ready made packs creating the music for you, ANYONE can climb in, and everyone sounds the same.

Grow the hell up and understand all this isn't good for business. You all cry and moan about how hard it is to be heard and how so many producers don't take the craft seriously.
Why would they need to take it seriously when it barely requires anything outside of 3 clicks and a computer? smh
@@collapsingruins You literally arern't understanding the point of supply and demand. Good luck to you.
It's not about getting hears, it's about making music for yourself. You already have the incorrect mindset so opinion discarded.
youtube recommented this video next to ricks one
edit: music is surely a lot easier to make and publish; but at his time there were a lot of cover bands, now if you make a cover nobody listens to it and they just say you copied.
so it limits the creativity but at the same time you must be creative, you have to create your style ecc
Actuallyt, no. I don't hate Rick Beato
Hate him or not, he's right about a lot of things. Dynamics, fluctuations in tempo, fluctuations in pitch, all gone. Sure it sounds clean and perfect but something is missing.
Also, having to work for something makes you appreciate it more as does scarcity.
Those are objective truths. Deciding that this is the reason all modern music sucks is a subjective conclusion.

I am just so incredibly annoyed by his weekly "Y Music is Dead" recommendations in my feed
But his interviews lately have been FIRE🔥🔥🔥
I would like to flip Rick's logic of basically having to be an old head and a luddite back onto him. Why is he using a Digital DSLR to make videos to upload to the internet? He should be recording on a film camera, recording the audio to tape, developing the film and physically splicing it to edit it. And then he could use a projector to project his useless thoughts into the sky.
U sound the mad
He sounds Quentin Tarantino too...moans about digital not being film, whilst being a very rich man who can afford to shoot on/project film. Yet he does all his interviews on DSLR, digital, etc.
@@EmlynBoylehe's definitely not rich
Beatto is not anti technology. He thinks that there's best tools for the job and when it comes to videos, a dslr is one of the best options. He definitely isn't some dumb old man who hates technology.
What I see is a whole lot of smaller channels going after Beato to do a bit of cashing in. And hey, it works, doesn't it? Clicked on your video and commented. I wonder if you also do good content, but not enough to take a look.
Rick Beato has been yelling so much that he eventually became the cloud.
you can agree with rick but it doesnt mean you have to stop using spotify and shit like ive been producing for years and i make my living offgeneric trap beats but i still agree with what he is saying
Okay, The Rick Beato bingo literally cracked me up lol 😂.
Knowledgeable guy who is experienced in the music business as an artists and producer. His take on modern music resonates with me. People are confusing experience vs old guy. So many talented artists today that never get the light of day to be heard, instead labels are releasing all the shit they can gather for profit. Art and profit should be as far away from each other as possible.
I'm hoping history will repeat itself and great music will come back.
You'd be surprised when you realize that same shit happened 30 years ago old generations telling younger generations that everything is worst know is the corniest shit this has happened forever and never been true
Great music exists gang
Rick comes from the music industry where his production and studio has failed. He knows what it looks like because he’s been around it.
Things have gotten easier as well as harder of the fact that it is easier to get your stuff out there which means it’s harder to stand out. If You don’t have a platform.
There is an oversaturation of music on the market, which definitely devalues some good music that’s out there because it gets missed .
On the "music is too easy to make" card it sounded like he used stock or AI generic music tracks which is actually antithetical to what his supposed argument was lol. The irony
Too easy to make. WTF? I guess Beato thinks beats made from fart samples is music? This is another example of his bullshit old school fuddy duddy views. It is only HE who makes superior music. Everyone else is cunts.
haha, you are like Rick Beato with a 10 year head start. better be careful!
wooooof wooooof!
Don’t worry Weezy 40 to 50 years from now you’ll be making videos saying when I was kid we had to thumb through our songs. You kids nowadays with your auto brain music making chips and your anal tube bass bumpers are out of your minds with thats noise !😊

The young dude arguing against Rick, can't be bothered to remember his name, cherry picked and strawmanned to a ridiculous degree and mostly didn't use any substantive arguments other than, "boo this guy is old". He also hilariously misunderstood a lot of what Rick said, even though none of it was especially complicated or hard to follow. I'm basically with Rick on this one. There's a lot of good music being made by non-mainstream sources right now. The mainstream now however is insultingly moronic to a an almost educationally subnormal degree. And while there was a lot of terrible stuff in the 60's thru to 90's, there were also a lot of mainstream artist producing quality music with something to say.

Not really, still quantized if its play to metronome
@@antoniocardenas14 ??? Quantised means a value is locked to a limited set of optional set possible variables. If you apply swing so the timing is off of these set variables it’s not quantised. You have the option to turn the grid off in most DAWs if you want to do it that way also so you can’t have it in on the grid in the first place.

Weaver, in all seriousness, instead of being snarky, maybe consider shutting up and listening. Rick is sharing knowledge we all should be paying attention to...

This is a very fresh, and open-minded take! Btw, how does Rick taste?
Nope
Stay away from drugs WE ! Rick is right 80 % .
Fontano is jealous same as you because this man have theory in his pinky finger .
"Classical" EDM styles aren't my bag. I get what Rick's saying. I try not to over quantize the performances of my "virtual" band mates :D. I try to dial in classic sounds manually using various Amp Sims. Nobody cares but me, and that's 100% OK! On the flip side, I've tried to do stem and sample based music and I can't do that yet! I don't have the ear or the patience to go through samples trying to figure out that "fire" hook I can get by layering x,y,z samples and running them through a,b,c signal chains. There's serious musicianship there, just of a different type than I practice. There's room for all of it.
I agree with Rick the lack of Blow is an issue. 🧐
Rick is 100% correct...
I think the genius of this guy is to cash in on unwinnable and unproductive arguments concerning music, which has been digital since the 80s. Does the man hate the compact disc? He should, per his own rhetoric. He definitely gets the algorithm and found his own niche, and he has credentials.
He had a video receeating a Drake track which came across as cringe, suggesting that he could be a better producer than a lot of trap artists. But we know he isn't someone that would take rap seriously, on general principles, so I wasn't really sure how to take the video.
But again this is one of the higher charting videos.
I understand how it might sound grandpa to you but, one of my many great music memories as a kid (about 13) was my friend turning me on to "Led Zep one" on his great sounding stereo(which I didn't own yet) for the very first time! And the music of that time, was like magic, coming from so many unique directions/styles! I didn't just want just the 45, I wanted the whole album. Didn't want to miss anything at all back then. Holding that record cover, reading the info offered, and sometimes admiring the art work, was part of the experience! Today, it feels more clinical, and hearing its seeming perfection just doesn't do it for me. Now I have to really search for the exceptions, the music grand banquet is over, for now at least!
Just my humble 2 cents worth.....
Rick Beato is one of these guys I look up to, since I have learned a lot of things from him. Especially from his "what makes this song great" Series. As for the people who hate him.... don't this guy possesses a lot of knowledge and is a very experience. Stop hating and start learning.
I don't hate him, I just don't watch him either. I have better ways to waste my life.

Beato is simply reacting to being cute out of the pop culture focus. It’s not for him anymore, nothing is. He’s done, unless he turns back time (Cher reference).
Get cut out, get bitter. Simple math.
Rick Beato basically wants to gatekeep music.
Not entirely so. Although I disagree somewhat on the accessibility of midi and DAWs.
I think its more so, he doesnt want our cultural artifacts to drown out under dead internet theory and content hypersaturation, but for our efforts in the arts to matter well into the future.
Its just a balancing act is all.
gatekeeping is a good thing
Gaslight, gatekeep, girlboss. Aint nothin wrong with that.
the music (in general) in today suck sincerely . Rap, hiphop shit
Old man yells at cloud
Who cares how you make music. But I do get some of his points. Everything is evolving, the end game I don't know what it will mean.
Rick Beato should do some tutorials about doing it ''right'' instead of just complaining music is too easy..
He did do a lot of educational stuff back in the day. I'm quite educated musically, but I learned a lot from some of the vids, especially the stuff on deriving harmony from the Modes of limited transposition, and the modes of the harmonic/melodic minor. Stuff like set theory, pitch classes and their application to post tonal composition clicked for me after that. He probably doesn't do that now because he's got a wife.three kids and a mortgage to pay. I'd love to see more of that stuff. Unfortunately many people including musicians and producers don't want to see that stuff. You can see them in the comments now, moaning and missing the point.
We're the generation where a household will hold more jobs simultaneously then our parents had over the course of their lives. Yet we haven't worked/earned enough to enjoy/ create music?
Google trends isn’t based off the keyword search it’s based off the terms overall relevance, if someone typed in “lil b swag like Ohio” it would count towards musics overall google trend
Recent vs "new". Eddies in the flow of time. We all encounter stuff in unique order. The first time you encounter something it is new to you but may not be recent ?
Really funny video 😊 And the bongo idea is awesome! Rick is totally right though 👍
