Rick is fun and stuff, but sometimes it turns into more of a lame reaction video and he can't go as much in depth ofc as the producers themselves. Also the background stories are just super fun :D
would kill to see some of this kind of content in the P5 documentary. P3 and P4 still getting played at least once every 2-4 weeks here to keep the inspiration going strong.
Misha, you are responsible for me getting into making music. I stumbled on one of your videos about guitar tracking tips a while back and that started my journey in making metal music. Also, the plugins and VST's you guys develop are really the reason I'm even able to make the music that I do. It's not very good but it's way better than I would have imagined just a few years ago. Keep rockin'
When you do stream Satellites, is it possible to include Spencer as well? It would be great to get his background on the lyrics and his approach to the vocals, they're absolutely beautiful! Or at least include Spencer's stem in your walk-through. Great stuff!
Thanks for this, Misha! I literally downloaded Twitch today so I could watch this stream and I missed it because I was messing around in my own DAW. I've learned a lot from watching all of your guys' videos. ...Always very inspiring stuff!
Thanks for sharing all these vids of your creative process. It’s awesome to be able to get a breakdown of what goes into making some of the most influential music to many of us.
This was an awesome stream. Just a note on music theory - it's not used when you're writing. If you use theory while you're writing and you follow all of the "rules" of theory, then you end up with a composition that sounds like 500,000 others. Theory is just used to explain what you're doing. If you can remember that, then theory would probably be a good thing for you to learn, especially if you do more of these streams breaking down different songs.
Theory can definitely be used while writing. Knowing modes and what target notes to hit for certain sounds in a part, or knowing diatonic harmony vs secondary dominants or borrowed chords, etc. all of that can really open up your options when writing
I just wanted to thank you to breaking down all the section of the song. This is impressive and instructive at the same time to see all the stuffs you put into to make a song sounds great. Some are obvious, others are subtle. But I'm pretty sure that without that sublte things, any of your songs would sounds the same. Would love to see other songs break down like that : Lune, Satelitte, Omega are the first that came through to my mind. But whatever song you choose, I'll be happy !
This was great and has got me so inspired. One thing I wish you’d gone into more detail on is the motif rhythm of the first half of the song. How did you write it ? How do you count it? Is there a pattern you follow? For me it’s one of the most intriguing parts of the song and also the hardest to play.
I really hope you showcase more of the process for your Orchestral demos and ideas. I'm insanely curious with how you come up with parts and what sections come to mind for you first
yess thanks for uploading it, misha. i joined in late and only watched about half of it before the livestream was pulled down. this was so sick to see.
This will be epic if the stems of this Reptile project file will be shared! It will be fun and would love to play this on a loudspeaker system for system tuning and soundcheck.
Hey, Misha! Great stream! How to achieve this space between rhythm guitars? I tried to compare guitars by pan in this mix and in mine, and yours sounds wider enen though I panned my guitars hard left and right, what should I do? Thanks for your tutorials!
It worth noting that if you like in chat, someone says “Jake Bowen, more like Jake Boner”, and Misha responds by confirming that Jake is well endowed. I was confused for a while trying to figure out why that came up lol
28:42 My entire young life I always listened to music because of the meaning of it. I liked the purpose behind the songs I liked and the specific messages they sent. That completely changed when I discovered Periphery. This band focuses on the aesthetic aspects of music, and it does so much to make you *feel* the music itself. I still like songs that have messages, but now I primarily focus on how the music feels. I imagine that's common among fans of this genre, as it's all about unpredictability and creating very complex sounds.
I'm just sitting here high as fuck like "fucking shut up Misha... You're the most humble genius, Misha..." He is such a genuinely nice fucking Einstein of music of our time...
Misha this was a hugely useful and interesting stream (too bad I joined as you said goodbye haha). Thanks heaps and please please do more including Satellites! (also I agree with Keyan please come to Australia when you can (specifically Adelaide)).
2:13 the fuck did i just listen to 9:25 “i love a good french horn” 15:52 **chomping noises** stopped watching at 18:55, i’ll be back 28:38 reptile’s message/meaning LMAO stopped 30:49 39:17 “i just happen to have one (a guitar) on the floor of course” 43:10 “i bet no one heard this on the original” paused 1:24:00 1:28:20 HI LEAH 1:37:50 secret amazing plugin 1:45:59 unleash the ponies will be on his solo album 1:49:09 will we ever see number wang 1:52:25 false detective/did reptile or garden in the bones come first? 1:54:23 weird jake video 2:00:25 playing ABSOLOMB live, playing solos, why garden in the bones is not fun live 2:09:15 zoom in and you’ll see the working titles of other projects stopped at 2:12:00
What do you do first when doing demos? Drums and then record guitars on top? How do you keep everything tight if you add drums afterwards? any tips for a band that starts pre-producing their already written tracks? Thanks! :)
Do you change time signatures in the daw or do you just go with it? I noticed that lots of bars aren’t 4/4 so just wondering if you change your time signature when needed or if you don’t care when the downbeat of “1” is actually on the 2nd or 3rd beat of a measure according to the DAW’s time bar on top?
