@JonathanCrossland 10 месяцев назад

It's still midi with no heart or soul. You can try and make it 'interesting" but the right song, acapella, the right song, a voice and a single instrument with heart felt vocals and lyrics.. or you can just produce it to death to get interest..

@dulla8469 Год назад

with the way modern music became fast to make i fell into the trap where i just duplicate most tracks from section to section and b and just take out some elements in the melody or drums

@tylerhill6706 Год назад

Which is still completely fine to do, especially if you are trying to make money selling beats or songs to clients. These are great tips to use but don’t need to do it every song. Most producers have even said the songs where they put the most work into like this lot of times don’t sell. Yet the quick simple songs with less than 10 tracks and basic arrangements you described sell faster

@Renatunes Год назад

Hey, thanks for the tips! Quick question: In the second song, you kept the same thing until almost the first 40 seconds of the song. How do you recommend to keep the listener from leaving the song before it starts to develop?

@NathanJamesLarsen Год назад

I didn't have the vocal in which is what the primary focus is in the start since it is really moody. There's not a set way of doing it and there are definitely times you want to suspend movement - and that first verse is a good example. It allows the vocal to do the developing until the first chorus

I just discover your stuff, the other video that I saw is one from 2 year ago where you took Jacob Collier as an exemple, it seems you have the same approach than him to build your songs and that’s super nice ahahah Anyway, do you think you can use this concept of composition in metal/rock music ? Cause I got the feeling you’re not « allow » to get as creative as in some cinematic music production for example Thanks for your great job and inspiration! 😉😉

@katecosettevocals Год назад

Hi Nathan, love your content! I'm struggling to put my question into words, and I was hoping you could maybe even point me into the direction of one of your videos or help me articulate it better. I'm having trouble with arrangement in the way that I know that I want to build it and I have exactly what you show in this video going on in my own stuff, but I have such trouble choosing what instruments to choose, when, and what exactly they will do. I feel so limited, and often re-use the same things: an arpeggio to move the song, a hyponotic repeat of either chords or 1-piano note, a pad in the background for atmosphere - but all of my songs are sounding the same, and I have no idea how to develop the sense for what instruments to choose and what I should have them do in order to build and keep the interest. And it seems no matter what I google or youtube search, I'm having trouble finding the answer to how to make arrangement CHOICES, like the very specific instruments and parts they play. Do you have either any advice or can you point me in the direction of a video of yours to help me with this? The furthest I've gotten is finding a video that mentioned that you want to have a balance of low medium and high pitches to fill out a song and make it sound balanced, but it didn't explain which instruments you should use, and how to know WHEN to use them. I'm going just a little bit crazy with this confusion, haha. Hope you can lend some advice! Love your content, thank you for making it! Also loving the sound of this song, where can I stream it?? 😄

@zyxyuv1650 Год назад

Bad video, one reason stuff sounds really bland these days is because people think the B section should be made by arranging and you can just turn some different loops on or off. Instead of actually writing with a harmonic scheme that goes somewhere and does something innovative with the harmony necessitating a totally different B section with parts you can't just toggle. You don't reharmonize stuff just by toggling parts in an arrangement. Everyone keeps telling these idiotic arranging ideas to make a B section because they don't really know how to write or comprehend an entire song structure, they only know how to make loops and comprehend the one loop then toggle parts of it. So the stuff is always really tonally bland stuck in the same tonal center. Try writing a song like "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" and imagine how that would have come out by just turning parts off and on like you are suggesting in this video. The whole thing would have been in the same key.

@NathanJamesLarsen Год назад

Ummm you're literally saying what I said in the video 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

@zyxyuv1650 Год назад

@@NathanJamesLarsen No that's not what you said in the video. You didn't mention anything about harmony even once. You were saying to make things sound different sonically, not harmonically. You were saying the same typical thing as every noob, your video was entirely about arranging different textures and timbres, nothing about a harmonic structure.

@Doblduardo Год назад

I have to sadly agree with you. And I say sadly because Nathan seems like a great guy and he is a very good communicator with great skills and great videos. But when the main focus is on producing, you risk getting perfectly, amazingly produced music but soulless, which is what it seems to me is produced in the last times. Anyway, congrats for your videos, skills and personality, Nathan.

@NathanJamesLarsen Год назад

@@zyxyuv1650 Ah - I see your clarification. Honestly it's too bad to see people rush to these conclusions specifically about me when this is ONE video and if you knew much about my compositional approach or background you would also know that I have a deep love and passion beyond producing. I'm a composer at the core so utilization of varied harmony, voicing, etc. is something I get really excited about personally - this is one concept in the grand landscape of making music. So yeah I can't really cover every aspect of a topic in one video. Not really how content creation on RU-vid works unfortunately. But I do also disagree that this is essentially what makes music sound bad - there are lots of reasons music today doesn't sound great but I dont see sonic variation as one of them - I mean ... take one look at music history and you'd see that this concept was around LONG before music tech and producing. This idea of sonic variation has been around for centuries (or longer) - it's just composers didn't have as many optiions as we do today.
