    Bruh, this “off the grid” delay is so useful, has been on every project since seeing this vid. They really need to have this built in. I think the Ableton track delay is basically useless when it messes with input latency ...

    I'd watch a piano/keyboard tutorial from you man. To be able to sit on the keys and just play is amazing dude

    • @jrgreer
      @jrgreer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I wish I could teach keys... but it's just something that happens naturally with the way my brain works/playing by ear/etc. I'll hear something in my head and just automatically know which keys will make that sound. With enough practice anyone can get really good relative pitch (which is basically the same thing).
      Also I'd much rather watch a keyboard tutorial from Jacob Collier, Anomalie, or Cory Henry. They're literally insane!

    • @jinba8352
      @jinba8352 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks! I get it. It's hard to explain and learn from tutorials because keys are really feeling based. Getting down unique harmonies is tricky. I'm also realizing that making music is not just keys but also other elements of the production that make a good track. I've been watching housofjaz tutorial to learn.

    the use of the delay "Off Grid" 100% wet, linked time, as a way of off setting the timing of the keys!!! that's a fantastic workaround to give things swing without using the delay function or draggin the midi over. interesting alternative, how did you stumble upon this?!?!?!?!?!

    • @jrgreer

    • @jrgreer
      @jrgreer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      The 990s don't have a ton of low end -- but they have the most accurate mids ever, and that's where the energy of your track lives. I love my 990s and it only took me a few days to get used to them. It's so easy to mix with these things - I recommend everyone gets a pair!
