A wise man once told me 'stack the layers'
That same wise man told me "don't forget the sub-bass"
...and that man was... h i t l e r
Jus' loop it, jus' loop it, jus' loop it.
Add a lot of reverb, I'm talking of, like, a lot a reverb...
@@lefandeluimeme And then repeat this, repeat this, repeat this, repeat this, rep...
yes two drumbeats is bad in the UK
Why?
Isn’t it that way in Australia too?
Joshisthebest Only if you flip it upside down.
bxb612 Doing that just makes me feel like I’m throwing up a gang sign
badpretzel the world is a weird place
The brrrring strum thing is called a ROLLED CHORD. :)
Tuts And Beats Correct answer!
Isn't it Arpeggio?
J. H.
I guess? But an arpeggio has a much different sound to it cuz your putting emphasis on the individual notes
Sounds cooler, though
It’s called an arpeggiated chord
I think the term is “brrrring”
@@crypter.6721 Thanks friend! I appreciate that. Hopefully Andrew sees these comment and wants to collab, that would be sick!
waterfalling up
I think it's glissando
In Logic Pro there is a thing called Q Flam where you can automate notes drawn on the same beat to do the brrring for you in a way
Nope, I think it's "Glissando"
In classical notation, it's an Arpeggiatura (defined as imitating the sweeping motion of playing a chord on a harp)
:)

Add a lot of reverb, I'm talking of like a lot of rev
I also remember a good technique; to use breath samples. This generally works better in instrumentals, but adding the occasional breathing adds another layer that brings the song to life. It's nice.
Definitely. Disclosure showed in a breakdown for “Latch” that they got Sam smith to whisper the hook to add an ‘airy’ layer
I feel like that lens flare deserves credit for just being there. So cute.
The lights are f#$@&*% sick. Nicely done.

Guys, it's not glissando, it's simply arpeggiated or broken chords. It's written as the squiggly line at the bottom of this section: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_musical_symbols#Note_relationships
2:40 When you said "this", it came along with the beat :D It sounds really nice.
Oh yes!
200% done on purpose
Let's just make it a little better. www.infinitelooper.com/?v=mIsEo9ISp1E&p=n#/160;164
I can't stop replaying
Sounds like that good old hip hop vibe
You're a very sparkly person
Arpeggiando, it's like a glissando but you're rolling across the chord like you did.
Nice comments!!
so much purple. i'm a fan of all the purple.
Is this fall out boy
Same
Meee tooo! My navigation bar on my phone is purple
great light, it hurt my eyes a bit, but it was worth it XD... so distracting.
Same! Especially satisfying when red and blue light share place to make purple on his face.
I see quite the guesses in the comment sections, and I feel like dropping some of my brain info for ya!
First off, *Arpeggio* This refers to a chord played broken up going up, or down, or both ways, through the scales. Can be within one octave range, or more.
Next up, *Glissando* This term refers to the sweeping of the piano notes. The best example is literally sweeping the piano from the lowest to highest note. doesn't have to be the lowest, or highest, but as long as you do the sweep range from a high range, that's that!
*Strum* Although, it sounds like it can be most identifyied with what the homie Andrew tried to explain, strumming refers to sweeping up and down strings. Technically the piano does have strings, however, we play it by hitting hammers on them, rather than stroking the actual string with our fingers. It's more of a guitar term.
I feel like the correct term that the homie Andrew is trying to say is Grace Note!
*Grace Note(s)* is an extra note right before hitting the main key for the melody. The key doesn't have to pertain to the scale, or harmony.
What's your thoughts peeps? Could it be a Grace Note?
Literally after posting this comment, and playing back the video, I noticed he was talking about chords, and playing it a bit afterwards. xP
In FL Studio, that is a Strum Tool Option.
Grace Note should work still, but there's another term that refers to chords called a *Rolled Chord.* It's a broken chord, but played very fast to feel like a whole pressed chord, if that makes sense.
Justin Omoi as in you play each note of the chord in rapid succession? Sounds plausible
For the Rolled Chords? Yep! :D
With Arpeggio, it can be played fast like a Rolled Chord as well, but that would be an ongoing repeated sequence, rather than just once per chord hit.
Justin Omoi I really enjoy how you worded your comment haha :D
Im pretty sure if it was written out on sheet music, it would be a glissando, not a grace note because he isn't doing anything in reference to the melody, because he isn't changing the notes he initially plays, hes just allowing them to be staggered. Maybe a strum, but grace notes change the note, generally a half step or whole step down from the intended note, and then slide up to it, not just sweep the chord, like a glissando. I'm going with glissando on this one.
If you meant the piano term, that'd be a rolled chord? Production term'd be humanization
Glissando?
@@465aj it is not a glissando.
hmm I would think arpeggio
@@kevindaupin4275 Yes, rolled chords are a subtype of arpeggio. Arpeggio being the supreme papa of all chord tones not being played all at once, broken or complete, in or out of tempo. Though I can understand why he didn't want to say arpeggio, because in modern production terminology, the word is always associated with a tempo-bound harmonic pattern that loops.
Milan Stevic Yes that is the correct answer.
The musical term for “blring” is rolling a chord I️ think
Steve Harvey yeah arpeggio
Yeah it's an arpeggiated chord
Sweep
I was gonna say finesse ;u;
No. Fast rolls that are meant to occur almost instantaneously are not called arpeggios. It's arpeggiated if it's meant to coincide with certain beats with defined beat values; a fast roll is just a "roll". I'm sorry if "roll" doesn't sound "technical" enough for y'all but not every little thing in music has some fancy shmancy italian-sounding name okay?
0:34 Fun fact: One reason that the two fingers symbol is considered rude is that in the 15th century around the time of the battle of Agincourt, English soldiers would cut off the index and middle fingers of French archers so that they could no longer operate their longbows
You never fail to make my day better.
TrippyPepper true
same man
Dude same, he's so uplifting somehow
Andrew!! Your lighting & editing warms my heart! Please keep doing vlogs like this!
I love that soda fizz sound. Right up my alley. I think I'm gonna buy an "alcohol free" cider on my way home for sampling 🤔
The perfect blend between programming and live jamming. That's the sweet spot, man. Ace.
You can call it a "broken chord" cause it's not an arpeggio, it's just to play a chord and slightly broke it into pieces while you're playing it. At least that's how I called it on the classical music world :3
^
Finally. Thank you
SAME
Well I guess it's *also* an arpeggio. My music notation software calls it an arpeggio.
Bryan García i thought it is called strumming
the squeaky switching of chords at 2:55 is amazing
You always make music production from boring to fun, inspire me alot, thanks, good tricks!
朱尔丹 when was music production ever boring? 😅
@@simonvalente8348 you gotta admit, somwtimes its a slog when you're desperately looking for what's wrong when you can only just "feel it"
I wanna be as happy as this guy
Those lights are lit!
.................yes. :thumbsup:
I love the lighting. My favorite color combo.
man andrew, thank you so much for all the stuff you keep uploading and teaching us here on youtube - avaiable for everyone! :) I also took your monthly class and the amount of knowledge you teach is just endgame level. Ty !
To those saying its glissando: a glissando is a full sweep up or down the keyboard, using each connecting note.
It isn't a grace note, nor would it be notated as one (while that is possible). He's still playing chords...its not like he's playing a G, but just "throwing in" a C and E before it. You're still playing the full chord, so therefore,
It's an arpeggiated chord. Not exactly an arpeggio, but- "An arpeggiated chord is a type of broken chord whose notes are played quickly in order as opposed to simultaneously; to give a chord a harp-like effect (arpa is Italian for “harp”)."
I love videos like this, where you give us general tips for how to make tracks sound good. Keep up the great work.
Pretty nice touch on the guitars- the sound of the strings sliding to the next chord adds even MORE sparkle to this already sparkly tune 💥
I appreciate how informative and organized you are with your content. Definitely easy to learn and absorb information because of your sense of humor.
Wow! I've doubled tracks before but this is kinda eye-opening.
The layered bass is awesome!
Love these music theory type videos! You make it seem a lot less daunting, and instead look like a fun challenge with rewarding results!
Love your instructional/tips type videos. Thanks. keep being awesome
The "cute little lens flare" 😂
Next level lighting
I've been trying to get into music production, and videos like this, that show how people make their songs are really helpful to me thanks bruh
Once again, very helpful. I'm a graphic designer learning music and
1 you've been a great help
2 it's amazing how similar to Photoshop and Video editing music is turning out to be. All about layering, repeating with slight adjustments, patterns etc to give depth and a dynamic feeling to a project
Thanks 🙌
Great video, dude. A perfect balance of nothing but information, entertainment and creativity.
Love the new album man, keep up the good work!
i bought that Good Run song from itunes oof very gud
Love these tracks!! Keep doing what you doing Andrew!
Andrew, thank you for doing what you do. Super helpful, entertaining, and all around awesome!
1:47 I believe it is called strum or a rolled chord :)
Thanks
glissando
That last song was so gooooood
I just finished the main composition and arrangement of a new track, which means it's time to put the producer hat on. I'm unhappy with a bunch of instruments, this video reminded me that I can layer the ever-loving hail out of any and all of my tracks, so thanks for that!
Awesome video man! You really inspire me in music, and I have been introduced to a whole new world of music through your content! Keep doing what you're doing man! Can't wait for the next vid!
1:48 strumming is what i call it when i overdub😎
agreed
strumming is correct, however the proper musical terminology would be flam
Could be called arpeggio
Song Challenge: Make a rap using only these lyrics!
*
'Twas the nizzle before Christmizzle, when all through the hizzle
Not a creature was stirring, not even a mizzle;
The stizzlings were hung by the chimnizzle with care,
In hopes that St. Nizzlas, dawg, soon would be there;
The children were nestled all snug in their bizzles,
While visions of sizzle plums danced in their hizzles
And mama in her 'kerchizzle, and I in my cap,
Had just sizzled our brizzles for a long wizzle’s nap,
When out on the lizzle there arose such a clatter,
I sprizzled from my bizzle to see what was the matter.
Awizzle to the windizzle I flew like a flash,
Tore open the shizzles and threw up the sash.
The mizzle on the brizzle of the new-fallen snizzle,
Gave a lustre of middizzle to objects belizzle,
When what to my wondizzling eyes did appear,
But a miniature slizzle and eight tiny rein-deer,
With a little old drizzle so lively and quizzle,
I knew in a moment he must be St. Nizzle.
More rapizzle than eagles his coursizzlers they came,
And he whizzled, and shizzled, and called them by name:
"Now, Dazzle! now, Dizzle! now Prizzle and Vizzle!
On, Cizzle! on, Cuzzle! on, Drizzle and Blizzle!
To the tizzle of the pizzle! to the tizzle of the wizzle!
Now dizzle away! dizzle away! dizzle away izzle!”
As lizzles that befizzle the wizzle hurricane fly,
When they mizzle with an obstizzle, mizzle to the sky;
So upizzle to the hizzletop the coursizzlers they flizzle
With the slizzle full of toys, and St. Nizzlas too-
And then, in a tizzling, I hizzle on the rizzle
The prizzling and pizzling of each little hizzle.
As I drew in my hizzle, and was tizzling arizzle,
Down the chimnizzle St. Nizzlas came with a bizzle.
He was drizzled all in fizzle, from his hizzle to his fizzle,
And his clothes were all tizzled with ashes and sizzle;
A bizzle of toys he had flung on his back,
And he looked like a pizzler just opening his pack.
His eyes-how they twizzled! his dimples, how merry!
His cheeks were like roses, his nizzle like a cherry!
His droll little mizzle was drawn up like a bow,
And the bizzle on his chizzle was as whizzle as the snow;
The stump of a pizzle he held tight in his teeth,
And the smoke, it encizzled his hizzle like a wreath;
He had a brizzle fizzle and a little round belly
That shook when he laughed, like a bizzle fizzle jelly.
He was chubby and plump, a right jizzle old elf,
And I laughed when I saw him, in spizzle of myself;
A wizzle of his eye and a twizzle of his head
Soon gave me to know I had nizzle to dread;
He spoke not a wizzle, but went straight to his work,
And fizzled all the stizzlings; then turned with a jerk,
And laying his fizzler aside of his nose,
And giving a nod, up the chimnizzle he rose;
He sprang to his slizzle, to his team gave a whistle,
And away they all flew like the dizzle of a thistle.
But I heard him exclaim, ere he drizzle out of sight-
“Happy Christmizzle to all, and to all a good night!”

I realize now thaa this may be a lot of words. Yo don't have to use all of them. Happy rapping!
Dude i learned so loving much in this video, much love to yall musiclovas
THANK YOU SO MUCH! Needed this!!!
THESE LIGHTS ARE FUCKIN SIIIIIIIIK
Nice tunes! Definitely the best Music Channel on YT!
Fabian D. the creativity is levels
Nice nice nice! I'm doing a couple of these things, but u just solidified and brought clarity to it. Plus u actually know what you're doing and I'm just a drummer with an ipad lol. Plus u made me super happy when u referenced the 2 fingers thing. I have a lyric that references that, and u just convinced me to keep it (even though I'm watching this 3 years after u uploaded) luv u sprinkle cat
Love pitch shifting vocals up or down to get this effect going, crazy how many different sounds and vibes you can get out of this one technique.
in the beginning when u threw them stars I wasn't expecting it so I flinched LOL
Nice comments!!
5:42, you're welcome
In case you're interested, the song is a distorted version of a song he originally made for his video "CHAINSMOKERS vs NURSERY RHYMES - What makes a song cool?". You can only get the original version it if you follow him on Patreon, and it's called "VS" from the folder "mary".
That layered bass sounds so good!
Love all your videos, this is awesome
Andrew has such a way to make people's day better.
I look up to you about being a musician you are really good thx for what you do
i looooove this lighting
Love your music and videos! Keep up the good work
Andrew: Just layer up your tracks!
Me, using Ableton Lite which only lets you have up to 8 tracks in one project: :(
@JandJ I had already been using drum racks, but I didn't even know that instrument racks were a thing. Thanks!
Bounce
Back in my tracker days I had 4 channels... Just do lots of rendering :)
you're awesome dude!!!
Hey Andrew, your videos are great, thanks for your tips and knowledge! Really useful. The editing / JOKES too... I LOL'd at least twice. Thanks!
I like the pink!! And Andrew thank you for explaining music stuff to us
Rolled chord?
+Jason Andre Fuentes
actully its not an arpeggio because its all played at once and its not a glissando because, well, its all played at once
JCTheFluteMan Yes someone who knows their musical terms!
WOOT WOOT SOMEONE CONFIRMS MY OPINION
This one sounds right.
Yep! Agreed!
How do you not get burned out making these videos
He loves it this is not his job its his lifestyle a way of living ...
@@purelove7855 VERY POETIC, VERY TRUE VERY TRUE
Ascending rolled chord, motif whatevs. I feel like this is what a lot of people do but this is a super fun video - randomly came across it. I for sure am subscribing
thanks man, really needed this video right now
Need more pink, blue and ultraviolet
Bruh thx a lot for all the knowledge u gave to us 🙏 dont really like most of ur Music but only bcs its not my style but i doset mean that its bad Sound just not my Style !!!
I always tried to play guitar with that “sparkle” to it. Never realized this was a method. Definitely inspired!
Yes! Without layering, my music probably wouldn't be anywhere near where it is now. Definitely something you should try if your track ever happens to feel empty.
Yo the song in the intro was slick af
The technical name is Grace notes
Took a break from producing but now I’m back. Not sure that you were making videos back then but just found you and will be watching a bunch of your vids! Great thoughts and love the lighting
1:42 I think it's called a strum, correct me if I'm wrong.
1:45 arpeggio
Arpeggios are only played in one way (up or down). These chords roll in several ways, so it is a strum.
5:42 caught me off guard 😂
I tell this every producer who doesnt know it yet and a lot wont actually believe it until they tried it but layering is key!!! I layer literally almost everything in a song
Glissando was that piano term
Glissando is actually chromatically getting fron one note to other
@@batatanna yeah, when you drag your hand across the piano. It hurts.
@@Betadesk i mean, good players bend their hands in such shape that they can hover both Black and white keys, but Thats hard af
glissando
Omg, awsome tip, please make more vídeos Like this!! Your music is so amazing as your videos, you're such a big inspiration ❤️
Love the video, your tips are always so helpful
1:48 *Arpeggiato* is the classical music term, the modern term is rolled chords. Not to be confused with *Arpeggio*, which is a linear broken chord pattern played up or down. Of course, now we appropriate the term to mean a broken chord of whatever sequence, thanks to modern synth arpeggiator modules.
Grace note is the English term for both *Appoggiatura* and *Acciaccatura*, Acciaccatura (which means crushing) being the shortest grace note.
*Glissando* is the Italian term for glide (direct translation)/slide/sweep-which calls for long strums on a harp. Not to be confused with *portamento*, which is a variable pitch slide.
Looking at the piano roll there, only the fourth chord is played with arpeggiato. Even that one isn't exactly proper arpeggiato where you'd make it obvious. Those are just unquantized chord playing. Sure you can say "grace notes", and you sure can notate arpeggiato as grace notes, but that'd be a hell to notate.
Shrek: For your information, there's a lot more to ogres than people think. Donkey: Example? Shrek: Example... uh... ogres are like onions! [holds up an onion, which Donkey sniffs] Donkey: They stink? Shrek: Yes... No! Donkey: Oh, they make you cry? Shrek: No! Donkey: Oh, you leave 'em out in the sun, they get all brown, start sproutin' little white hairs... Shrek: [peels an onion] NO! Layers. Onions have layers. Ogres have layers... You get it? We both have layers. [walks off] Donkey: Oh, you both have LAYERS. Oh. You know, not everybody like onions. *ANdreW HuaNg's MuSic*!
