One of the hardest things indeed, with any creative process, is editing. What to drop, what ot add, bring on front, move to back and so on. What really helps develop your editing skills is actually finishing even the less stellar tracks. By doing this you also avoid getting into the void of "waiting for that perfect track", where you pretty much never get finished anything at all. You also develop a strong routine for a lot of stuff involved with producing the track. Finishing tracks with a steady pace also prepares you for the moment you finally create the "most awesome track ever", the baby who doesn't disappoint you, as finishing tracks teaches you a broad spectrum of skills. Mixing, arranging, actual producing and how to end the track properly and so on. This said, it's also a good skill to learn when you really need to put the baby in the basket and ditch him/her on the door step of an orphanage and never look back. And like this video beautifully demonstrated, some rare times it's also best to adopt back the ditched baby. Great stuff once again.
Wow this video couldn't have come at a more perfect time for me. I really needed to hear this! I am going to go turn some of my dead babies into new Frankenstein monsters now.
have you been spying on me goodness! topics youve been putting out are so relevant to the journey im in as well. why not tap my wrist and say hi i want to give you a hug for all your help tho lol!
I watched this video years ago and really honed in on that first bit of advice .. I found myself getting too excited about a song and wanting to relisten to it and it became a constant habit after just one day of working and i fell into that cycle / haulting so much g r o w t h this video made me realize that mistake and correct it with set boundries and honestly ive never been more excited and invested in music. i cant stress enoough how much this video has impacted my actual life you are awesome and the people very much appreciate your entire approach. you also make a LOT of sense when explaining / breaking stuff down
Love your videos man, it's really hard to find valuable music prod tutorials containing REAL HUMOUR!!! Keep up! I wanna hear this finished project tho, it's litty.
Very nice man. I will recommend your channel to ppl in my class (audio tech course). There are mainly rap producers booking studios to browse presets through audient consoles. I think you might help them. Not being a beatmaker myself I also find it helpful. U got my sub indeed
Great tips with hilarious dark humour. I suddenly feel like I’ve finally found someone I can make my friend at long last! I will totally be calling you repeatedly for your advice & experience with your awesome offer on song creation but more so just to soothe my lonely heartfelt pangs for a true soul to soul connection with someone who knows what it’s like to be a frustrated & sensitive artist. Watch that dial Underbelly bro-j. Tick to the tock
Yo Mr Undybell, top shit as per usual, is there any chance that you could go through some audio fx, I have sidechaining and shit down but want to get that professional sound on my tracks. They sound super stale and quite flat at the moment
will def do a couple of fx specific vids in the future, but not sure if adding more effects will fix the staleness. Could be a volume or arrangement issue.
u just gonna hit me with glasses now? dafuq bro, looks slick as hell tho. and omg thanks for that encouragement in the beginning about letting go and dont listen to the loops you did, i did that for the longest time and didnt get anything done thanks man
hello my angel, can you do a video about sampling and stuff ? like that i dont have to kill the baby by myself ,but grap the dead thing and put it into another format. btw love your videos you are hilarious.
Listening to Aphex Twin's new EP, then seeing this video, has given me some ideas about how a song can also be a mix of your greatest hits or your dead babies.
You Suck at Producing Looking for something quite big, full size that does more than just a normal keyboard and works well with Ableton. Sorry for kinda vague answers. Appreciate ya
I've harvested stem cells too, making cool little Frankenbabies. But once in a while I get lucky with a shock of inspiration and resuscitate a dead baby into a zombie baby. Just look at how well that worked for Michael Jackson. Without his zombie baby we wouldn't have Thriller.
