Memorise the 12 keys of an octave to the point that You can hear the correct note just by looking at the keys or piano roll.

Hey Matt, it's nice to see that today there are still some top tier musicians who don't try to act mysterious and share their knowledge with others, that makes you cooler than you already are. Additionally, the production behind this video is impeccable. If it's not too much trouble, I would like to ask if in the future you could make a video talking about the clichés or concepts in Harmony/Chords that you use the most, I am a beatmaker and although I know a little about Harmony, sometimes there are chords/progressions of which I don't know the name and that makes it difficult for me to investigate on my own. I apologize in advance for such a long text, have a nice day.
This week I have been going over some old projects ,some are ideas and some are near to finished. It annoys Me that some of these ideas are great but been sitting for years now while I continued to jump to the next project over and over, some go back to 07. We are taking over 1000 unfinished projects.
maaaaaaan this is amazing, I wish I had your piano skills! keep up the good work! edit: I just went to your spotify profile and I saw that I already have a few of your songs liked - what an amazing coincidence :)
Mate, that was fantastic! Just found your new album on spotify which is soo groovy, and now seeing you do tutorials aswell. so cool! Thx for everything and keep it up!
Lovey stuff. This popped up in my feed (maybe because I've been watching stuff on the Yamaha CP, which I bought and will be delivered tomorrow 🥳). I can't really play keys too well but looking forward to some Rhodes tinkering. You got yourself a new sub, top work 🙌🏼
Love these videos! Fwiw, I was listening to this on an iPhone and I couldn’t hear that bass line you added until I cranked the volume to the max. Just wanted to let you know in case other viewers abandon the video there or you want to mix it down differently in the future 🫶🏽
your key skills are phenomenal! Personally I feel like the song could use a few little one off vocal chops, maybe reversed, toward the end of some phrases? For me the tricky thing with these types of songs is the intro and outro. Curious to see how you finish it!
Loved This Video!! i wish i had this musical knowledge and capability of playing instruments, ive spent all my life making Jungle/DNB and im at a point where i wanna make jazz and chill music but i need to learn instruments lol
have you ever listened to dinner party with 9th wonder robert glasper and kamasi Washington. really beaufiul project and this beat reminds me of that project so much
I’m curious about the treatment of the acoustic piano to get that mellow sound. Also how many pianos/electric pianos do you typically use at once in a track? I hadn’t really considered layering them like that but it sounds good!
Here I’m using the practice felt on my upright piano so there’s essentially a piece of felt between the hammers and strings! I made a video on how I record my upright piano which goes into that in a bit more detail. To answer the second part of your question, it depends on the track. I probably typically use piano or rhodes, then 3-5 synth layers ☺️
Hey, that’s awesome thank you to them and hello to you! They’re the 8040s. The 8030s are also brilliant imo. Not tried the 8020s but bet they’re cool too ☺️
I hate when TH-camrs title videos with "how to" like they’re about to present a common problem then explain and demonstrate solutions, but it’s just a video of them doing a thing and narrating it. This video is just him making a beat. I appreciate the content but I hate the clickbait bs.
You know that making music isnt about "finishing beats" If you are struggling to "finish a beat" then that "beat" is worthless to you and is just a chore with no emotion Git fucking gud mate
As a bass player main, I can’t believe you just busted out that sweet bass line so quickly. Your groove and timing was incredible.
Agreed 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼
Dude this was so dope!! Please do more videos like this where you build out your arrangement! So dope!
Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate you watching ☺️🙏🏼
Bro that PIANO sounds GREAT!!!!! The perfect felt on that Dampener!
need a video from you on piano technique and practicing chord!!!
Thanks for the suggestion! It’s on my list ☺️

Hey, thanks for watching! I’ll definitely think about how I could best share info on harmony and chord choices. Appreciate the suggestion 🙏🏼

I really needed this. Im also keys player learning to produce. This really helps.
I am amazed by your chordal knowledge and general keyboard playing! You're an inspiration!
This was so helpful bro! I pray for your channel to grow man
Appreciate that, thank you!!
Matt Wilde, you’re amazing!!
That wurly melody was clashing with the chords. That's why I never finish the beats lol.
Awesome job Matt!

WOW,... great episode sir. Subscribed.

Love this!! 🔥
I'm feeling this
Very informative!! Thank you Matt. Love your music brother

Finally someone who does listenable music in ableton, not this BS EDM stuff etc…. Thanks so much!
have you ever listened to dinner party with 9th wonder robert glasper and kamasi Washington. really beaufiul project and this beat reminds me of that project so much
How have I not heard this album! 🫨 thanks for the recommendation and kind words
Very fresh bro
Appreciate it 🙏🏼
You did a great job bro... 🔥🔥❤❤, Will also appreciate some other ideas like, building a song from scratch or something like arrangement ideas.
Appreciate it. And great ideas too, thanks for the suggestions ☺️
Nice hat sample loops! Where did you get these from?
2:55 i'm still lolly-gaggin' on 10 and have that feature. i believe it wasn't present in 9. cheers

How to make things sound good (Mixing) is more important than producing.. i just realized that recently.
How to turn loops into finished songs. Step 1. Be talented instrument player with a healthy dose of music theory background. 😅
True
Idk I feel like you can take away a fair bit from this without being an instrumentalist
fantastic
Nice!
Good vibes
thnks bud❤
Just found your channel Matt. No way. Long time, no see!
Hope you’re well brother.
Hey Oliver! Nice surprise. Hope you’re good too ☺️
Your video quality is out of here. Loved this!
Thanks so much 😊
Would you ever do a breakdown of the tracks for clap clap?
For sure! That’s a personal favourite. The claps in this track really remind me of it too ☺️
Great 😎🔝
I used to struggle finishing beats now I struggle starting making beats 😂 I guess it’s life
a friend put me onto your channel - this is nice. are those 8030 or 8040 genelecs? i have 8020 and thinking about the bigger ones.
Hey, that’s awesome thank you to them and hello to you! They’re the 8040s. The 8030s are also brilliant imo. Not tried the 8020s but bet they’re cool too ☺️
That’s brilliant! Let’s stay in touch :)
how do you make money making good music?
From the thumbnail, i deduce that i will finish more beats once i have a Nord.
I hate when TH-camrs title videos with "how to" like they’re about to present a common problem then explain and demonstrate solutions, but it’s just a video of them doing a thing and narrating it.
This video is just him making a beat. I appreciate the content but I hate the clickbait bs.
Not finished at alll😂
You know that making music isnt about "finishing beats"
If you are struggling to "finish a beat" then that "beat" is worthless to you and is just a chore with no emotion
Git fucking gud mate
That's awesome! Let's be friends.
