I am So Sick of Running Into Tutorials Like This... 

fuck splice, fuck the clickbait, fuck the same old thumbnails that say “DO THIS” or “YOU’RE DOING THIS WRONG” with a big arrow. I’m 100% with you about how making your own original sounds is the best and most honest approach dude. Keep doing you✅✅✅

its everything at this point. everywhere i look "track from scratch" and then they reach for a sample pack. youre absolutely correct.

Also, people seem to forget the most useful tool of them all … The Sausage Fattener

It's the same back in the day when eJay come around.. All of us who where making true compositions in mod-trackers where suddenly confronted with: "Oh, you make music? So do you use eJay?" Ehhh, how about NOOOOOO! Hahahah

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and some of your knowledge around designing/processing percussion elements.

i love experimental drums and percussion

Surprisingly I haven't run into this issue all too much. Not sure if it's my algorithm or just the way my searches are worded but I pretty much always get directed to videos on synthesizing the sounds I want and seldom find videos on sample manipulation/beat-making without specifically looking for them. That being said I definitely still get advertisements and shorts with that content, usually with a low-effort flavor.

it's weird but i've never run into tutorials like that. all vids i came across when searching how to create drums were actual tutorials on drum synthesis and sometimes how to layer stuff but never about using samples.

1:22 Yes, you COULD go and find a *creator* - but you can also go and learn to *create* (and _become_ the creator you were looking for)

Speak it brother!

roll off the low end

some just do not know the difference between drum synthesis (the technique is pretty old-almost as old as synths) and recorded drum sounds from an acoustic source. Then you get so many people doing content on stuff they have actually no clue what they talking about.

A belated Happy Birthday!

I have the opposite issue lately with tutorials/breakdowns: When I watch some dubstep (yeah, sue me, I like the genre) video, they explain in detail the 20 effects on their main bass - well, that is nice for beginners, but at the end of the day, it's a mix of compression, eq and reverb, I can figure that out myself. What I would like to know is how the arrangement works. What did you think while writing that flow? What kind of rhythm did you have in mind and where did you end up? I feel like, and maybe that is a skill issue on my part, there are barely any good resources for arrangement, chords, melodies etc... Shoutout to that one video about call&response I watched a while back, that was pretty cool. And again, I get this is partially because I am not as naturally talented, but I feel like a lot of tutorials focus way too much on the sound design or I am "too good" at sound design that the tutorials I crave for now just aren't in high demand. Lol this was me venting for no reason

Dude like a year ago i was looking up how to make drums for garage, and the video was literally how to make loops, i asked why the creator named it how to make instead of how to arrange, and the replies were trying to dunk on me saying nobody makes their own stuff and that people who make everything from scratch are wasting there time and it for real turned me off of just watching random tutorial videos

i definitely did not expect a how to make drums with your mouth tutorial lol it's still a cool vid but... did you just low key rick roll us?

I've noticed that the majority of tutorials are just a marketing campaign for you to buy their sample packs...

Want to make your own drums?...you got some carpentry skills do you?😘

this reminds me of the age old copypasta of the goat skin drums, etc. synthesizing drums isn't that hard, but why waste the time doing it when you're just starting out? most tutorials are aimed at beginners; not us nerds synthesizing everything from the ground up because 80% of people searching up tutorials on youtube aren't trying to do that i promise

It will getting worse with AI🥸
