To get awesome tunes..! smoke some pot, listen to Debussy (Or your
favorite composer) and then sip some Absinthe.Thats how I do It , Then in
the morning Adjust and continue!,,, this should last about a couple days or
weeks..
vespers, thanks for the advice. i was wondering, when doing sound design
don’t you have to do the mix down at some points? I’ve been studying hard
on dubstep design with growl basses and a lot of that, and you kind of need
all that extra jazz for it to fit in the track. There’s a song I’m working
on but all of the basses I try to use don’t seem to fit. I also know this
is all theory, but I’m just trying to learn and advance my skills. I have a
huge amount of ideas but when you can’t get the sounds you’re looking for
it creates huge mental blocks for me
A finished song with imperfections is better than a perfect song never
finished. Get Er Done!
RE20 is a sick, high-quality mic? HAHAHAHA it’s crap. It’s a dynamic that
sounds like a blanket is over it.
I 100% agree. Great video man! your voice’s quality in this video is
superb.
This is so true… I’ve actually noticed that I do this all the time and
that it’s a problem, but it’s so hard to stop. I just start tweaking
something a little and before I know it I’ve been EQing drums for hours and
the creative energy along with all the awesome ideas I had are completely
gone…
I guess I’ll have to make a conscious effort to just leave things be while
I’m writing and fix things later once the writing and arrangement are done.
VERY good advice!
ok nice, is there a way so that you can confirm you own track that is
mastered actually they have your permission to release the track, because
you created the track, so you can choose whether if its good and you proud
enough to release it so you make sure the focus of the track is still alive
like how you wanted it, in the first place.
so you say you’re a certified Ableton music teacher….how can I contact you
guys? I really want to learn how to create EDM music and use DJ/producer
softwares. Where should I go to find advice
you said your “students” where do you teach? +DJ Vespers
I totally agree. The other problem is chasing after technology. Stick with
your gear as long as you can. Finish your song even if it doesn’t sound as
good as someone elses. you will get better the more you produce. Once the
song is mixed and mastered, write another and another until you have an
albums worth of songs. Write and produce them because you enjoy it not
because you are trying to please everyone else. Master your instrument.
People who buy all the lattest stuff think it’s going to make their songs
better, it won’t. All it will do is waste money. Just stick with your
instrument until it breaks. Be content and enjoy what you have.
Its almost stating the obvious and yet i feel that everyone gets stuck on
exactly what you’re saying, sometimes the most basic things need to be
pointed out and you did that seamlessly! Kudos.
Funny before I watched this this morning I’ve been having thoughts on how
the best ableton techs can jot their creativity down fast enough to
remember it all while still having good sounding instruments that capture
their ideas… Then i realized i gotta create instruments, a database of
them. Then I also realized it would help to make templates, with my
favorite returns and FX already in place and calibrated to spec. you
confirmed my thinking, thanks.
Great basic pointers. Sometimes we forget to pay attention to the
fundamentals
Thanks bro
This is excellent advice. An unmentioned advantage to your tip on leaving
engineering/processing the mix until after part
creation/arrangement/recording is that the processing load on the CPU hence
latency can be kept to a minimum during that stage. This allows for live
input monitoring and responsiveness from plug in synths and drum machines
which overall makes the recording/creation phase flow easier. Come mixdown
you can raise the audio buffer and load on the audio processors to take the
complete arrangement to sonic perfection.
RE20’s are sweeeeet, but this guy does not know how to use one haha
best advice I’ve heard all year
cool advise indeed
Very clear explanation that points out real behaviors 🙂 Thanks
This is why it took me a year to finish one song. Hes so right
I was so doing that multi hat, its a killer!
Thank you so much vespers. you are one of a kind! only you know what most
of beginners go through and address than so eloquently!
With all due respect, i guess everyone else knows those 5 basic “steps” or
you can call it “secrets”
WTF! What the fuck is up with that black gap! You skipped over the most
important part! Thanks asshole.
you can make this in FL in 5 minutes. ableton is fail. FL is the most
underrated software ever.
1:06 – 1:09 WTF HOW DID HE DO THAT?!
crap production
This video sucks rancid donkey bollocks.
Where can I download this sick tune?
hilarious… i know what you mean
tanksssss
your song’s gay thanks for the tips though
Did I miss something?!?!?!?!?!?!?
These songs are WACK as fuck and this video didnt help at all . Im just
glad i skipped to this video instead of watching the first 6 …
how do u change the view on mac so that u can see the bars and manipulate
them accordingly?
fuck man, ive been looking at videos all day and not ONE person showed how
to do it.
Useless. Failure.
It creeps me out the way he turns from the camera to the Computer screen. ”
Dragg the chosen instrument into the Midi channel, and now. Watch me eat a
bag of potatos”
fuck your knowledge, your song is EPIC FAIL man… haha
i think i know what you mean, can be annoying
Hey buddy u wouldn’t know how 2 automate a synth. So for the verse its at a
normal sound. But for the build up it gets louder? Thanks
sounds SO cheap
This videos are very helpful. Some are incomplete therefore you must go on
the website to watch the full video to get the most out of it. THanks Sonic
Academy !
He looks more jolly here.
@eklyy sorry forgot to mention that it glows blue on my screen because of
the color of my layout is not default… it may glow red for you, but the
position is the same, its left of the ‘OVR’ button… just turn that off
and you shouldn’t have a problem
Ableton’s interface is epic, mange.
@2pac4e lol dude you’re right
@CVicccen yep! I’m an idiot. wrote it 9 months ago, then read it just now
and was like WTF! lol Just hit the glowing button on the RIGHT of the OVR
button to get back to anything you’re arranging. especially to get back to
automation thats already been recorded
