@rmt3589 3 месяца назад

How do you get across different temperatures and materials? Like the Sahara heat or artic cold? Like liquid bubbling or the notes slipping on the ice? If this makes no sense, it's my Synthesia thing where I blur senses, and I'll figure it out. Some examples are the ice sounds in Nicki Minaj's Super Base & Bees In The Trap, and the liquid sounds in the Banjo Tooie lava world theme and the Mario underwater theme.

@dshephardcomposer Год назад

If you are a self-starter and motivated to learn, music schools around the country can't teach you better than videos like these. The abundance of free, first-rate education on YT continually astonishes and uplifts me. The biggest benefit someone gets going to a music academy is the built-in camaraderie, contacts and collaboration. But if you are good at networking with that yourself, Godspeed!

@elliottjamesdj Год назад

Whilst I completely agree with this, as someone that has been following Will and on his mailing list for years and years. I do partially disagree with your statement. I've found that not only did I get networking, collaborations and opportunities from going to music academies. I've also gained perspectives that couldn't be adventures and discussed in one video so it depends on the person. Learning from just RU-vid videos limited the potential learning I could do in that time. This is why Wills EDM Tips school is worth going for or even going to university as I did as its sometimes your mindset holding back your ability or creativity! This is only my experience. If anyone disagrees then feel free to respond, I do not aim to offend anyone or make anyone feel invalidated or unheard!! Much love producers, keep it grooving!

@jakesigalmix 7 месяцев назад

The biggest thing I realized learning from RU-vid, is you dont get the necesary feedback. I got to the point I struggle to hear what I can do to advance further. (Not a plug) About to start the program with Will tomorrow for that reason.

@JoyfulWAVE Год назад

Right...thats why i give myself a time limit to produce a song sometimes. Sometimes it's only one night...😜 The other reason why i like the time limit is the fact that i don't have to go through tons of sounds or presets...😁

@High.on.Life_DnB 4 месяца назад

@@JoyfulWAVEhaha, I'm a starter, I'm like, I've got the time, I'm gonna take my time, I want to make something familiar yet innovating/new, thinking about switching genres mid track for little moments 😅 because I like genres that people don't like to combine (or people that only like one or the other but not both), but that's the reason I do want to combine them...😂

@pimenz Год назад

Another trick I use which is common in trance music, is to repeat a note, same pitch and a certain repeating pattern with slight variation on every 4th bar at the build up stage of the track, slightly increasing the pitch and then during the break introducing a new simple melody with that same synth sound with a slight variation on every 4th bar.

@LohPro Год назад

HELL YEAH bro! release that shit lol i'd like to add that using sequencing is a great way to add rising tension, such as before the drop or chorus. For example, sequencing a melody so that it works its way up the scale, either having its interval remain exact (which sometimes introduces chromatics) or to fit the scale. i also like to keep the same idea, but throughout different sections, present it with different instrumentation. guitar during the verse, a bright synth for the chorus, etc.

Hello Will, starting to watch your channel being pretty tired and went, yannnnt boring, then after a few minutes wen, Hey lots of good stuff here. Now your one of my favorite Music Theory channel. In other words, give the guy a chance!!!! No you in partikular but in general, "open your mind" people To you question, been a professional DJ for about 12 year in all kind of club and was extremely successful (90th's Unwort) and had a very solid reputation for finding good club hit (was the first DJ in Germany to play "pump up the Jam" or "Mary hat a little boy" in Germany ) and YES, from the very first note this song got my hear. So you should definitely look into this tune Salve, Frenchy

@migats2160 Год назад

@trillbeatz1299 Год назад

I agree, I'm in the same boat as you. But I will say that a lot of his longer full track tutorial videos have some useful tips. In my humble opinion, what has gotten me way better at producing is using reference tracks. I already know how to do so much within a DAW that I frequently get overwhelmed with all of the decisions I could make. Having a template or song as a reference has really helped streamline my process. I usually make songs in one or two days now when it used to take me months. I also finish most of my songs now whether I end up releasing them or not. Best of luck 👍
