do some ear training so u get acquainted with the intervals, then u can just write it down. or pull up piano on phone, hit middle C then write it down coz u have a reference in mind.
Since I’m not talented in any way, could you or anyone give some advice on motivating a friend who hasn’t made music due to depression? I’ll explain in detail below if that helps. But basically I have a buddy who always used to always bring this game boy looking keyboard. Like everywhere he went, he had it. He was the backbone to the group because he was so damn funny and talented. We’d always want to hear it as he made beats so he ended up just getting this double aux to hook up to headphones and a speaker so we could enjoy it in the background. The best parts were when he was basically done and would either play some random keys or just start freestyling. He’d have everyone jump in and we have no intentions of being a rapper. It’s just that’s how much his presence meant to us because we didn’t care if we’re had or don’t always rhyme lol. Oh and when I say he brought it everywhere… he even brought it to work lol. Unfortunately there came a point where something in him changed. He gradually began to distance himself or would sleep a lot. It was like the less he made music, the worse it got. Then there was a point he basically became mute and only acknowledged people if it was work related or simple yes/no questions. So I tried to do what he did for everyone and just do funny stuff but when he politely asked me to go away it kinda physically hurt my heart to see the look he gave. Because it was like he felt bad asking me and that’s when he quit showing up for work. Last I heard was that he became homeless but completely disconnected from all social media. His dad even came to our job asking if anyone has seen him because he even changed numbers. So I’m kind of desperate to find anything that could spark that motivation he used to have. This was the type of video I was looking for though so I’m going to send it his way and hopefully he watches. I just wish I knew what happened.
@@Rmcbeatz. sorry I was kind of writing a jam packed comment but felt I already overwhelmed you enough so I’ll keep it short. *Edit - actual short version:* _no communication but have someone reliable details of how to possibly get in touch. I’m thinking if I talk to him about the keyboard he has as if I want one, he just might reply or read my messages and see your video too. It would mean the world if you could help find what type of keyboard it is._ [long version] Basically the last I heard was over 2yrs for sure. I got his number last year but he changed it. And the reason I sent him your video was because his sister finally replied to tell me he still is alive but just wished not to speak to anyone and didn’t give his newest number to anyone (including family). But she was kind enough to give me a newer IG and I saw he posted a remade version of a old song. Like I have the original from 2014 so that tells me he still loves music. But everyone I talked to says he said he gave up. Since I know I could get him to talk about his keyboard, I’m wondering if you could help find out what it’s called so I can sorta bait him into at least reading my messages. I’ll just say I need advice on where to get one and how it works because he loves talking about it. Just let me know if you’re not busy and I can give you the description. If you can just help with that, it will make my entire decade. Just need the name of it.
You’re a great friend and a great person. As a music creator who has dealt with severe depression I understand where your friend is. It’s very difficult to create when you can’t even create your own happiness or positive mindset. I hope the best for you and for your friend.
Great footage. What camera did you use? I want to start a yt channel myself explaining my experiences as a producer, but I don’t know really what to say. Do you have some useful tips for that?
Hey! Thank you! And I have the Sony A6500. I would go with my gut. Whatever you think would be either educational, entertaining, or inspirational. What do you have in mind now?
@@Rmcbeatz. I typed in a plan in my notes on my phone. So I want to educate and entertain. I already have a big amount of experience as a beatmaker/mixing engineer, but I struggle to translate it properly. Stopping mid-sentence and totally forgetting what I wanted to say.
I try to lol being a creator can be super frustrating. I record the idea that I want. Usually I make a lot of mistakes while speaking so I edit those out and leave what I need
The daw I picked it up pretty quick, Logic is super easy to learn. Soo I would always focus more on the music. What are you struggling with at the moment? Anything specific?
That’s actually pretty hard to do lol. I meant more like get the Inspiration from it . And being prepared with the notes and bpm but make a beat similar 🤓
I heard hitting the like button helps the channel 😅 Let me know if you enjoyed the video or if you didn’t enjoy it lol
A thing I struggle with is when I have a melody in my head I don’t follow my instinct and lose that inspiration. Thank you for the tips!
Yes! That’s super annoying I feel you. And thanks for the feedback bro

You a real one. Appreciate your views on this topic brother ❤🌏🤝
Thank you! And thank you for the feedback
Thats really smart to find ispiration from other songs. I find it so important to switch things up once in a while to keep the ideas fresh. Great vid🤝
This is my method 60% of the time. I re create around it. Thanks for the feedback 🙏
Using a reference track beyond mixing and mastering has been a BIG change in keeping me motivated to come up with new ideas. Great video!

Wow! Do you have any communication at all with him?

i swear these youtube algorithms got a chip in my head.
Or I do 👀 lol thanks for watching

Nice! And I’m terrible at getting my ideas across so thankful for editing lol
@@Rmcbeatz. But even after editing you seem to get the point across?
I try to lol being a creator can be super frustrating. I record the idea that I want. Usually I make a lot of mistakes while speaking so I edit those out and leave what I need
Most of the time I’m super unmotivated and don’t want to make music which is funny cause it’s what I love to do
I think that’s a normal feeling of burnout
How did you manage between learning the daw and making music? I struggle with that whenever I have to make music.
The daw I picked it up pretty quick, Logic is super easy to learn. Soo I would always focus more on the music. What are you struggling with at the moment? Anything specific?
But, what if I am making music consistently?
Then watch my next video haha 😂
@@Rmcbeatz. sweet. I’ll look out for it! Good vids by the way. Really like your channel
Thank you! 🙏 appreciate the feedback
So the tip is to copy a song? Lol, I don’t think you meant that exactly :)
That’s actually pretty hard to do lol. I meant more like get the Inspiration from it . And being prepared with the notes and bpm but make a beat similar 🤓
