Let me know if there are any areas that need clarifying or any suggestions for future tracks, and of course don't forget to leave your sign off ideas! ❤👊🙌
@@lucusnewman4043 I show the main idea in the "piano house sound" video. It's more about track context tbh, there's very little needed for an m1 usually.
Oh. My. God! Sir, where were you in 1994, when I had an Atari ST, dubious copy of Cubase, a Korg M1, Alesis D4, Novation Bass Station and an Akai MG614. What was sorely lacking was a clue. ANY clue! I worked damned hard to get these bits and pieces together, and actually spent quite a lot of time just marvelling at everything. Amidst my SL1210s, 19" rack mount DJ mixer and racked Audio Source graphic EQ, Jamo 400 pro's, all powered on, little lights flashing and blinking, warmed the cockles of my heart it did! What it didn't do was produce much other than bland, stagnant, boring ditties lacking energy, life or the absolute passion I still have for house music! Folk today, (don't know they're bloody born!!) have no concept of no internet, RU-vid, tutorials, etc, etc. These videos are simply INCREDIBLE! You, Sir, are the consummate teacher, making everything understandable, and repeatable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, skill, and passion. Wonder if the missus will let me buy all my gear, and then some, back? 😬
Ahh man ST was the OG. So many of my peers got their start on that, I have a friend who still has and uses one! By the time I started it was cubase vst 5 around 2000.
There aren’t that many videos kicking around the thousands of tutorials on youtube where the results are of this quality. I think this could be the best of out there 👍nice one.
Your sign off should be "to the regiment, I wish I was there". 😉 Really enjoying your vids. Should really be in the studio, but I'm knackered and watching RU-vid instead. Inspires me to go pull my finger out of my ... And get on with some making, rather than watching. Young people and newbies, if you're watching these tutorials, you're in the right place. Getting some basic theory and great track building tips, without having to listen to someone that could talk a glass eye to sleep. Send the dude a coffee, he's saving you years of trying random stuff out and reading books, following people that haven't got a scooby themselves, but still try and push "how to do X" tutorials on RU-vid.
This is so good! Been producing exactly that kind of UK Piano House / Dance for years and never found one channel that covers this style so authentically, in depth and easy to understand. Best from Germany mate!
I really enjoyed this one. It's a real insight into how Paul's track arrangement works and his choice of chord voicing. I'm learning loads from your vids and really appreciate the time you've invested explaining everything in much simpler terms than almost any other of the million tutorials out there (including the ones ppl are being charged alot of money for). Massive respect to ya bro. 🤜🤛 (fist bumps btw) 😂
The quality of this lesson is without a doubt remarkable. Thank you, Sir, for your hard work to make such amazing videos possible. You are one of a kind.
Discovered you through tech house tutorials, and daaamn, as someone heading into house music from more bass stuff you are probably the single greatest creator to these kinds of tutorials. not just the depth you even explain the details with your sexy voice🙃, but also the quality of the videos and most importantly the music you create while teaching us is second to none. Really love you for that and thanks for the effort you put into this❤
it's a follow up to the previous Paul Woodford video so if you didn't catch that one first this is going to make little sense. In fact throughout the video I mention which other videos you'll need to watch for this to make sense. Most of my videos build on a little knowledge from previous videos , I can't start from scratch every video! Start with my chord numbers video that's a good one to begin on 👊 Or just reply here with what you're particularly struggling with I'll help you out. 🙏
@@Bthelick i dont even know what software to use. that's how beginner I am... I'm asking for a super beginner tutorial. can you do this? i see a lot of tutorials on youtube, but i wanted to get a beginners tutorial from you so i get my basic fundamentals from a pro
Stellar work as always Paul. Arrangement wise you are spot on. The only thing I would do differently would be to humanise that 4 bar piano part. It sounds too precise and clinical when stuck on the grid like that. It doesn't do any harm playing a few notes early or late. Same goes for the note velocities. DAW's have no soul. It's the human flaws that add the soul.
@@Bthelick Doing it like they did in the early 90's by hand or just editing it to be more human could be the theme of a part 2 to this video. There are hacks to do this sort of thing.
found your channel yesterday and been binge watching ever since, super good stuff. You remind me of Dan Worrall but for production instead of mixing (he has his own channel with similar editing vibe but also does the fabfilter videos (and he's a master))
Thankyou yes I love Dan , this whole channel is just me trying to do an impression of him 🤣🤣🤣 but in the edm /theory space! That was the idea anyway glad to hear it's helping 👊
im learning ableton and my GF was over yesterday so we recorded a load of vocals. when chopping them up i realised it made sense to highllight the better ones as going thru. chose green also. great minds and all that old chap. v useful video btw. im not musically trained in any way but am pretty decent with percussion, so this more musical video is great bit of learning. many thanks. btw, tried to import some synth presets you did and said i was using wrong version, even tho latest?!
Solid gold. I'm wondering if you use any base template to get you started or even how you organise samples/instruments or ideas. I am a Reason user but the principles apply to any DAW. To the music: I love your process/flow and your explanations. Sometimes you make subtle changes without explanation but those details are kind of most interesting and would be great to keep the explanation flowing. It would be also great if you could work against the predictable change pattern (as the chords mostly chaglnge on one) to be less predictable and perhaps stand out more.
I use templates sometimes yes. But mostly the reason I swapped to Ableton was the ability to drag in parts from other sessions, so I can mix and match sounds and drums from any of my previous which helps speed things up tremendously. It's also why I never use send effects, instead in made my own fx rack that makes inserts behave like sends so when I drag the part in it already has the effects too.
you should do a tutorial on james hypes new track ''lose control''. hes bringing back the rave sound to tech house. He got a similar rave tech house track named ''Say yeah'' aswell. they all remind me of Alan Fitzpatrick - We Do What We Want style of music
yes an m1 sample, layered with ableton's stock grand I think. The sound and instruments are covered in the previous video where we looked at the reference track.
Hi loving the videos. Can you do a video on drums please. Covering everything from scratch. I always build drums and use the groove pool but I always feel my drums are shizzle 💩 and too robotic.
The video prior to this when I break down the Paul Woolford reference track called "noteworthy" goes into all the sounds. I also have another video on "release ready piano house sound"
Hi mate love your content! Could you make a video of how to produce: Sigrid - Don't feel like crying (MK Remix) and/or how you make your drums for piano house? Thanks! 💜
Are there specific pianos you use? I have the typical m1 and addictive keys which sound like the main ones you use here or are they more stock? Also big fan you’ve helped me more than most, still not at full track release level, but much closer than what I was a couple months ago
I have an M1 sample (see my piano house sound vid) and I use ableton's built in grand too (those 2 are the layer you're hearing here) , or free meat beats micro piano also.
Awesome video. I tried to go along with the video and actually found the vocal as well, but the vocal seems to be in C#m instead of Dm. Did you pitch the vocal in any way?
yeah it's +1 . (in ableton you just use the pitch dial in the bottom left, make sure the vocal is warped, and using "complex pro mode" to retain natural sounding formants)
@@Bthelick Ah right, that sounds like a neat little ableton trick with the formants. Going to have a look to find it in logic pro as well. Thanks for the reply!
Yes I use a free sample from kriminal I think they were called. It's all explained in my piano house sound video. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P14GY_Iu4zQ.htmlsi=lxZt0igB3Eup2-B1
I do in appropriate videos. The previous video where I broke down the reference track goes over the sound. Let me know if you still need to know anything after checking that 👊
