One bonus of "economy of motion" is that it plays well with 808s. If you're not jumping around all over the keyboard, it's usually easier to lock in a bass line without taking your 808 too far from its starting pitch by following your chord progression.
Laughing along with someone laughing just because of a nervous tick they have doesn’t make my laughter feel authentic and I’m taking on his nervousness. Like when the lady in the grocery store laughs nervously as her toddler kicks you in the shins, you laugh with her but certainly not because you are enjoying yourself but because you have taken on her nervousness.
@@richardjohnson6489 true that. only thing to consider: He´s doing fine. That is actually his nEXT STEP. Watch his videos from one year ago... the guy is progressing a lot!! he´ll get rid of those awkward laughs, im sure.
Sometimes you make a beat and it's not just about putting sounds together. You gotta chop and screw it up! Get something you've never done or heard before. Basic concepts that deliver 🔥 results. Great video Ed 🔥👊🏾
Economy of motion has its place, but it can turn a great progression into mush. It doesn't give you enough control over how closely spaced your intervals are, and close intervals make mud. Likewise, you can get trapped with your chords all having the same top note, which is what will be the most predominant sound your listener will hear. Parallel movement is a vibe, and can improve your song by clarifying your harmonic information. It's why guitar players play power chords. In fact, your whole item #4 slice technique is all parallel movement.
honestly i love your positive vibe. it makes me smile and happy while learning some producing stuff aswell, you rock man, thanks for making me smile :)
Bro! Gems as always! 💎🙏 Watched the video all the way through, now time to go back and take notes to keep next to me while cooking up. Trying these for sure when I get home! The economy of motion tip blew my mind. Such a simple way to create chords that flow perfectly!
Ed you've taught me so much over the past few weeks. I'm new to the beatmaking world and would love to show you my first beat. Do you still do these kind of projects where you rate/mess with people's beats?
I’m not good at english try to learn how to make music from him. Although just a lil bit from each video but the way he laugh is always positive and inspires me !
Love the energy of this dude. Ed is the guy who can teach you more stuff and also laugh with you at stupid things. That's how he brings that positive energy and postivie thoughts
A good quick tip is to change something every 4 or 8 bars. Change meaning to add or remove instruments, change octaves, change the instrument that's playing the chords or the melody, change up the groove a little bit. It doesn't have to be big... just different.
Ayeeeeee hello 😀😀 I really appreciate your work And you dont have any idea on how much your vedios are helpful to me as a person who is just starting out in music production...... By the way Can you test out free daw cakewalk and review it????? Because Ableton and fl are just too expensive to begin with And grage band etc are very limiting Please 🥺🥺?
