4:38 This right here is the most important piece of advice for any musician! More important that what DAW, what controller, what plugin, all of it, any of it. It's so easy to get overwhelmed by the shock and awe of watching a perfect performance that we can forget the hours (days? weeks?) of practice that may have gone into it. Practice and dedication is how something challenging turns into "You make it look so easy!" Coming from someone who's played music over 30 years, every day is still a learning opportunity. Embrace the journey, learn to love the process, and the wins will be all the more rewarding. Kudos to you for showing not only the end product, but the process and the stumbles along the way!

Thanks so much for doing a video like this! It’s so nice to be able to see the ‘behind the scenes’ and it’s crazy to think of how much effort goes into every single one of your videos!
Hey Taetro - Big fan of your videos man! I think everything you talk about towards the end of this video (6:30) is so important, and bravo for bringing it up. It's so easy to look at a polished video or someone else's performance and forget how much preparation goes into it. You also mention being able to nail a session in 2 or 3 takes on a good day... but it's also important to realize the years you've dedicated to your craft and the countless hour of practice you've logged to be be able to perform at that level. In life, we want things to be easy and comfortable, but any skill or talent worth having takes years to develop. Anyone reading this who feels discouraged... every musician has felt exactly how you feel. Stick with it! The the journey is the best part. Every feeling of accomplishment and joy is on the other side of perseverance! Keep at it guys!
Thank you so much for keeping it real and showing us the mistakes! That is such a valuable lesson to keep in mind. I just got a push 2 and I’m struggling to learn it and use it live, but I’ll trust the process and remember this video!
That's so brave of you to show us that even someone like takes many takes. Love your prefomances, tutorials and streams!! keep up the good work thank you!
Been following you for a few months and got interested into producing. Right now making beats and learning piano almost every day. Great channel and love the honesty on the end!
Man, dude. That's a fun session. I'm hoping to eventually make videos like this. Just got my first MIDI controller (the Komplete Kontrol m32) and have been practicing stuff like this. 😃
That is the one controller that I’ve always wanted as well. I find myself using my iPad more and more so there is no way I can justify it. Arcade buttons are awesome though!!
Nice Groove! That white MIDIFighter looks awesome! I like that you stay pretty calm while making mistakes. I'm usually shouting, cursing and throwing things on the wall! haha!
lol it also helps that the video is recording as well, you can look up and see the timer and but like...oh I’ve only been doing this for 5 minutes relax
This is what I wanted.... I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so much for showing us the truth. I have been pissed off by lot of music producers who just show off and make us feel unworthy, discouraged and bad.
well I’ll say this...most producers are not showing off to make you feel any type of way. They’re putting their best work out there as all of us do. If YOU feel a type of way after consuming that, it’s on you to be in a realistic frame of mind, know what it takes, and have an understanding of the process. Has nothing to do with the artist making you feel a certain way, has to do with you letting yourself feel a certain way.
@@Taetro Man, you are too good(more respect) ❤️❤️❤️by defending them , but honestly you are the only one I saw who made video titled the whole process of music production. Anyway I didn't accuse everyone, but the ones who don't reveal the hard process and the time it takes.
Yeah I just don’t think it’s anyone’s responsibility to show a full process/mistakes - and I don’t think anyone is hiding anything by not doing that, but I do think it can provide a lot of value.
You're mess up real is adorably wholesome. Mines is would be me silently screaming profanities and randomly tapping a bunch of extra buttons before resetting. It's not even an actual anger/self doubt thing, just my process lol. But for real, thank you for including that message.
Hi Taetro - Top advice I bought a MC 707 about six weeks ago wanted to dnd it back 4 weeks fell in love with about 28 days ago...And was all because I watched tutorials and kept making music..Just bought a Blackbox 1010 - I' m on a similar journey and hopefully trajectory.
Did you have a video explaining how to do a beat in the MF? Like how you assign the sounds and what sounds that we actually need to make a beat? Thanks for the material u bring to us to much love man
How are you playing over the track after you finish the melody part? Are recording and just looping? Overdubbing? Would love to see a video of this if there isn’t already
Often we see people do something and think we can't do that. Even if we are professional or experts. This is often imposter syndrome. We're looking at others' highlights and not the cutting room floor. But when we compare ourselves to them we only see the cutting room floor. thank you for these outtakes and letting people know you too have a cluttered cutting room.
Awesome demo, it seems like you are hitting record in Ableton to record before starting, and then it will loop the parts automatically, is that correct?
Hey bro, you got this to work with Logic? I have this device now, and want it to work so badly with Logic, but not much luck with it. Hope to hear from you!
Haha do you remember when I commented/asked you in a previous video if you had ever tried using an arcade fightstick for fighting games? I told you you had good execution and that you’d probably be good at it. Well, the Sanwa buttons on the Midi Fighter 3D are the same on most fightsticks Haha So yeah, this video supports my hunch. You gotta try it man
I do have one question... do you get thrown off a bit by the clicking and sound of the sample when making the beat? If so, how do you get through that?
The concept and aesthetic of this controller has always appealed to me, but cost and the sound of the buttons has always kept me away. Thanks for sharing the whole real process.
I was just thinking the same thing--but here's the sort of funny thing. I've been playing fighting games competitively for years & years, using ONLY these Sanwa buttons on my sticks (joystick controller). The last stick I had I tried the Sanwa SILENT buttons, and they were great. I thought the little pad they silence with would mess with the responsiveness, but it did not. I'm excited about this controller bc normal pads on controllers feel sooo weird and... squishy to me, I don't think my rhythm would translate. Anyway if they're standard sanwa buttons they should have quick disconnects and be braindead easy to swap out. This coming from someone who never--I mean never--does any DIY projects or modding or taking anything apart really. I'm gonna see if I can contact them about it.

Yo!! Almost at 100k!!!!! 🎉🎉
🎉

I really respect the vulnerability shown in this video and the messages you're tying to send with this. Keep doing that good work!

trust the processss!
Dope beat and thank you for always keeping it real man! I would love to see how you set up this session 👀
Yes please Taetro 😊 great video. I love my 3D!
Thank you for sharing the bloopers! It was definitely a reality check.
Dude that was amazing! I might have to start looking on Ebay for one too lol. Mahalo for sharing!
That's so brave of you to show us that even someone like takes many takes. Love your prefomances, tutorials and streams!! keep up the good work thank you!
Thank you! Will do!
Been following you for a few months and got interested into producing. Right now making beats and learning piano almost every day. Great channel and love the honesty on the end!
4:35 loved the amazing speech
Wonderful. Love my midi fighter 3d's. This was a wonderful video. Thank you for what you do!
Thanks for showing the fails! It shows the hard work behind your channel! 🤩
Man, dude. That's a fun session. I'm hoping to eventually make videos like this. Just got my first MIDI controller (the Komplete Kontrol m32) and have been practicing stuff like this. 😃
Thank you for showing the good, the bad and the ugly. This helps me keep up my motivation.
Fantastic product and jam Sir!
Love the Mark Mansons "Everything is F*cked" book in the background. Great read.
Love it! Sweet beat... practicing is key!
Thanks! Great to see how all this is generated only because of the hard work you do.
bravo, taetro!!
thanks for your kind & encouraging approach here, sir.
My pleasure!
You got the same midi fighter I got you are absolutely right it takes lots and lots of fun practice with it.
Love your channel! Thanks for this review! 👊👍
Thanks for the encouragement. I sometimes get frustrated and have to take a walk and "trust the process".
Oh Yeaaaa 👌 That was a nice beat 🔥
Awesome stuff dude, very talented
i happy 4 u
This is a masterpiece bro! 👍
It’s crazy how much time actually goes into making a video that only ends up less than 5-10mins
That is the one controller that I’ve always wanted as well. I find myself using my iPad more and more so there is no way I can justify it. Arcade buttons are awesome though!!
I just realize that Teatro is about to reach 100k keep up the good work man
Dude how can you even listen to what you’re playing. THIS THING’S SOOOOO LOUUUDDDD
Samuel Messiha because its not as loud for him. the loud audio is only going through the video, not through his ears.
you are awesome man!
What the hell man ! You are a beast 😲 such a wicked beat 💪
How are you looping then going immediately to the next instrument ?
Nice Groove! That white MIDIFighter looks awesome! I like that you stay pretty calm while making mistakes. I'm usually shouting, cursing and throwing things on the wall! haha!
lol it also helps that the video is recording as well, you can look up and see the timer and but like...oh I’ve only been doing this for 5 minutes relax
Dope one!! Nice advice too!!🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙅🏽♂️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸🛸
Awesome man 💯💯✨❣️🤙🏻
This looks cool🥺
Have a used one coming in the mail,Theh peepz over at JDTT sent me free soundpacks when I told em I bought a used unit! Now that is class. Can't wait!
thanks awesome!
4:38 Thanks for the advice bang. Keren. ✌🏽
This is what I wanted....
I love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so much for showing us the truth. I have been pissed off by lot of music producers who just show off and make us feel unworthy, discouraged and bad.

Just ordered one thanks for the review!
Epic
That was cool.
thanks for advices
I love it
I liked this vid’s performance more than other one cause of the split screen
This was really cool. How do you get some stuff to loop and others to not in the same take?
Would love to understand how you setup the project.
yes i also wanna know
Loved it
Awesome video 👏
This midi controller so cool!
Fire 🔥
Yayy montage
you are amazing ... keep going :)
100k soon
You're mess up real is adorably wholesome. Mines is would be me silently screaming profanities and randomly tapping a bunch of extra buttons before resetting. It's not even an actual anger/self doubt thing, just my process lol.
But for real, thank you for including that message.
I’ve just accepted the messing up is part of the process and reacting to it every time would mean hours of lost time! thank you for watching!
Practice makes perfect... welcome to the world of learning how to play music!
Wow!
yes, its quite exp hahahah, always wanted it but now i dont feel like needing it and rather invest on other stuff ^^
Yes, we would like to see the “prep” session of something like this?
🔥

This was amazing video what did you use to isolate the clicking sound the Device makes in the video
This song slaps
i love u
Oh !! Sweet!! Mmm is possible if you show the process in your laptop and the fighter?
Did you have a video explaining how to do a beat in the MF? Like how you assign the sounds and what sounds that we actually need to make a beat? Thanks for the material u bring to us to much love man
Yayyyyyyyy
6:57 that’s my type of rage, calm and composed but messy
Congrats!) make one more)
Pawnshops are the way to go😉
^^^ this is what is called keepin it real
juice this man to 100k

Lol I just got an ad on how to make a midi controller with an arduino before this video began
🔥🔥🔥🔥🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯
How do you actively loop while playing without taking your hands off the controller?
please guys help me i don't know what i have to buy the akai mpk mini mk3 or the Arturia MiniLab MkII please help me i also use fl studio as program
Awesome demo, it seems like you are hitting record in Ableton to record before starting, and then it will loop the parts automatically, is that correct?
How do you trigger the entire beat on and off without pressing anything on the midi fighter? 😳
this is great! how do you make these fixed-lengths loops on ableton without an ableton push?
create an empty midi clip of the length you want
My sis has the subtle art of not giving a f*ck
Do the buttons give a good velocity sensitivity compared to the pads on an MPC or siliar device?
2:35 the button clicks are louder than the actual drum set
is there a link to the beat I can listen to this is fire.
I didn’t know Buster Bluth made beats 8)
Great sounds, what samples are you using for the bass line?
I don’t understand why it’s more expensive than a launchpad when it looks like an arcade glued to a plastic box
Its the arcade buttons.
The buttons are high quality. He also didn’t get round to showing you the concealed buttons or what happens when you tilt it.
@@haydnr1631 yeah thats the cool part.
hello homie good video :c
Hey bro, you got this to work with Logic? I have this device now, and want it to work so badly with Logic, but not much luck with it. Hope to hear from you!
this is the son tawana
Haha do you remember when I commented/asked you in a previous video if you had ever tried using an arcade fightstick for fighting games?

You gotta try it man
Great vid!!! Can I use this with my mpc live? I bought one and didn't even think about that
most midi controllers can be used across all DAWs
@@Taetro thank you for that. I need to try and use my computer anyway lol much continued success to you!!!
What's that wrist watch?
I do have one question... do you get thrown off a bit by the clicking and sound of the sample when making the beat? If so, how do you get through that?
It’s not as overbearing as it seems in the video. Also when you’re doing the pushing it’s a bit more natural.
What software did you use or recomend with this midi fighter 3D?
i got a question for you. What do you use the side buttons for?
How do you program Sysex out on this?
How didn’t the metronome come out in the vid. New method today😉
The sound of the buttons is so penetrating. xD
Can't beat some candid shots from a blooper reel ...
I don’t get that midi controller 🤔 but respect for the beat as always 😉
The concept and aesthetic of this controller has always appealed to me, but cost and the sound of the buttons has always kept me away. Thanks for sharing the whole real process.
