Brother you're my favorite content creator. I always get a little piece of knowledge from your posts aaaaand the music is always fire. Well done. Keep pushing. Thank you.
@@WhoIsAlexElliott No problem, i was way off at first as well! Love them very much, they did the best cover of Kool & The Gang's "Summer Madness". And i agree with your point about finding out the CORE of the idea. One maybe doesn't need an insane track count in a project. Also few points since i remember you're new to Ableton: 1. In case your pattern is a consolidated loop, you don't have to cmd+d, you can take a cursor and drag the pattern by the upper right corner and it automatically loops. 2. You can change the sound of metronome, if you like. There are 3 options.
I liked the riff around 14:00. But you didn't record- Which made me think. Did you find the Capture function yet, which let's you recall take that you didn't record?
1:20 Im pausing the vid, I was recording a video on this exact topic so I will be doing a reaction video to this and showing How I focus on melody first and less is more. It wont be your entire video used just the bits I react to. I'll tag you in the video.
No problem! Maschine Mk3 Micro www.native-instruments.com/en/products/maschine/production-systems/maschine-mikro/ Nuances midid controller nuancescontroller.fr/ And thankyou, crazy to think there are people on other side of the world watching
Bro khruangbin are incredible! Ive listened to Mordechai on vinyl more than any other record I own. One tip for you in ableton, in the very top centre of the screen theres a small button that looks like a square called midi capture. When youre jamming out to a loop trying to find the right melody or chords you can just hit that button and it will instantly create a midi clip with what you just played. No need to re record if you hit the perfect sequence while jamming! Keep the content coming! Much love ❤️
It’s a midi expression, modulation and cc controller. I use it for programming strings. You can find it here: nuancescontroller.fr/ He only makes a certain amount in batches each month but there is a news letter you can sign up for to get noticed when new releases are ready and it’s first come first served.
Hey Bro! I love the way you show Music production on different angles. Thx Alex. You give so good inspiration I want to share a great one with also 3 elements: Chassol keyboards drums and a video sometimes edited Chassol harmonizes the world and create a magic groove The 1st chassol big sun from 10:00 his uncle mimic the birds of tropical islands and the 2nd is a masterpiece Indiamore Re-edit: youtube did cancel the links I put to the videos in reply!
Bro. I’m so happy yous went this to me. I was having a long convo yesterday with my friend about wanting to do something like this. Travelling and making music in different cultures with people I meet. I’m going to take you sending this to me as a sign 🙌❤️. THANKYOU!
i had to subscribe because you answered so many questions of mine , i would keep adding and hate it at the end still. this is so true and as someone who realised i write based on the bassline and groove of drums this just proved to me that theres a way to work write the whole song to the minimal idea and just add some sauce after to make it a full song with some moments etc
duuuude, this is so funny you are covering this band because they are in my playlist. My music is influenced by them as well. My second LoFi album has this influence.
@@WhoIsAlexElliott I just so happen to have a few tings online lol. socials.kreatve.art my lofi project called The Elibments is more in that vein I was speaking of.
Great video as always Alex, everything you say and do in your videos I relate to a lot. I never Quantize also, my quantize is exactly what you do, play it in and if I feel a note (or more) are off ether replay it or move the note(s) manually till it feels right by ear. I feel like we started making beats at a very similar time period and you are my age. Everything you say and do is very similar to myself, and you style of beats is right up my alley. I'm 39 (nearing 40) and started making beats in 2001 learning everything by myself, no tutorials or advice from anyone, just trying to figure everything out on my own, so for many years I had know idea what I was actually doing, but just loved doing it, which lead to my music sounding like my own, like yourself. I Produce/Mix and Master for a small none heard of group called JUO JUAL, I do it for the love of music and nothing else as I work a job which takes my life and time away from it all. Sorry for my life story, god bless you and everyone here supporting you. Much love from Australia.
No thanks for sharing the life story bro. It’s always really interesting sharing peoples back stories on here! I wonder if it’s something about the early 2000 that made us work this way, I know a lot of 90’s stuff was very groovey even the boom bap and parents always playing disco? 😂
@@WhoIsAlexElliottYeah definitely. I feel it does have a lot to do with what we heard and listened to as little kids, the music our parents played was all made by humans with human feeling and rhythm. I've been going back and listening to a fair bit of mid to late 1960's and early 70's music recently, and you just feel the music so much more than todays. The feeling of the emotions in the voices back than are crazy to listen to, also men singing back then sounded like men, men singing today sounds like an inexperienced teenager with a very squeaky not yet broken voice.
