Hands down the best tips I've seen in 12 years of writing prog music
Wow dude thanks you SO much I really appreciate it!! Trying to keep the process simple but the end product complex haha
that rap lyric thing is genius
Thank you bro!
Bro its so rare to find people who make metal in fl, glad im not tge only one. Also sick tips bro
YES DUDE! Feels like nobody writes metal in FL but the workflow is so convenient once you get use to it. And the mixing mastering is top notch honestly. Thank you man!
@@boofinintheboysroomVery true, once you learn it you can do anything with it 🤘
Metal FL gang 😤
@@VARVIS_ LETS GOOOOO
YEAH
"It sounds fucked up, in a good way" is the Best way to describe djent
That just killed me dude 😂😂 It’s so true…people who get it get it
"Boothing in the boys room"
Roofing kinda toys rune
@@boofinintheboysroom You got meaty riffs my boy
@@clunt2548 thank you dawg 🙏🏿 I appreciate it!
It's not about the numbers, it's about the quality. Best tips I've ever heard. Subscribed.
Dude, thank you so much! I sincerely appreciate it!
That's a really cool concept, never thought of using rapping cadence for chug rhythms, thanks for the idea dude!
It’s hit or miss but for sure dude! Thank you!
The rap idea is fucking genius lol
I don’t see why it’s different than using drums though tbh
Honestly yeah, low key you’re right haha the rap lyrics just keep me in the creative flow more. Thanks dude!
@@boofinintheboysroom although logically both methods are kind of the same. I feel the rap lyrics idea feels more creative to me. The drum method still has to come from your head. Recently I have been having writers block when it comes to unique rhythm patterns, just stuck in old patterns that I've been doing for years, so finding new patterns from outside your self from different genres really opens my mind to new possibilities. Plus you still have drums to add to it later which add an extra layer of complexity and possibly create a new feeling entirely. Great idea, I will be trying this ASAP.
@@BiPolarBear223 yeah 100% I agree! The draw back of writing drums first for me (albeit super nuanced) is that following the drums with the guitar locks in the guitar to the drums and I feel like there is less room to branch out with the drums vs writing a guitar riff first you can mess around with drums and have them deviate from the guitar to give the track some room to breath…totally personal preference but I know exactly what you mean
This was way better than I thought it would be when it popped up in recommended videos. The rap lyric cadence tip is especially genius. Subscribed to show thanks.
I appreciate so much dude thank you!
such a great way of thinking about it! Thank you!
Thank you !! I’m pretty isolated in the writing process so I never know what’s like standard and what’s unique haha I appreciate the comment!
Underrated AF CZcamsr 🔥🔥
Great video
Really appreciate it!! Thank you dude!
Loved your explanation on metric modulation ! Great stuff dude, keep up
Glad it came across coherent lol felt like I was having a hard time articulating it haha thank you!
the little ticks you hear in your audio may be due to your audio buffer size, too many plugins or anything really, too much to handle…
it you have a focusrite, you can increase the buffer size in the focusrite settings or whatever (grey icon one, you may have to click it twice to open). increasing your audio buffer does increase delay between your playing and the audio you hear back, though its not significant enough at a lower buffer size
Yeah I do have a focusrite, that’s a good recommendation thank you! I currently have it set at 192 and I drop the frame rate on OBS so it records in 25 instead of 29.97. There’s a setting under “macros” in fl that disables all plugins not actively being used and I may have forgot to turn that off. Honestly I think my computer is just not equipped for video and music production haha it’s the first thing on my “to buy” list. Thanks for the tips man!
Some good ideas! Thanks
Thank you!
I feel the pain of trying to get ASIO stuff going through OBS, and then to have a mic going at the same time? Godspeed
Dude I just gave up and I’m running ALL audio thru FL studio haha so I just put the mic on a random mixer track and it’s recording that way
the audio messing up went hard, great vid 😭
Dude it’s so annoying lol thank you!
Awesome! Thanks
For sure!
You're unique as heck.
Thank you bro! I really appreciate it!
Fukkin sick dude thank you
For sure dude!! Thanks for the comment
dude the album is fire
Thank you dude! I really appreciate it!
really helpful stuff man
Love to hear it man thank you!
sick man thanks!
@@WforWrath for sure dude!
Really great tips! Thank you
For sure! Thank you!
Cool way to visualize complicated rhythms great vid
Thank you dude! Glad the visuals help because I can’t articulate it very well lol
The third tip is amazing !
Thank you bro! It’s such a nice starting point for complex rhythms. Lays a road map for the creativity to flow sometimes
Good stuff 👍
Thank you bro! I appreciate it!
You just earned a loyal subscriber now, can’t wait to listen to yo shit now. Dude just made me feel comfortable with his jokes and genius for hoping to make my own band
Dude, I appreciate it so much thank you! Make some sick music! Even before you find a band, just writing music is so much fun haha
@@boofinintheboysroom Nah dude it’s like you inspired me again
Awesome, this is really useful!
Thank you dude I’m glad!
This was great. Thanks!
Thank you dude! I appreciate the kind words!
Thank you for sharing that! hahahaha As a producer sometimes its difficult to find music information outside of the genre we are into
Thank you! For sure, I know what you mean, hopefully it helps or inspires a little bit!
Fl studio , and then once you announced your channels name instant follow
The name definitely grabs people’s attention 😂 thank you dude!!
Thank you for bringing light to rhythm. People in metal focus too much on shredding but all the biggest bands have rhythm and groove. I literally study pop, funk, and latin for interesting rhythms. Even classical
Latin music and anything not western-euro contemporary is a gold mine for rhythmic inspiration! I’ve gotten into classical a few times but more for the melodies. Thank you for the comment !
@@boofinintheboysroom yeah man, you're doing dope stuff. You use ob's to record? Mine hated logic😂
@@GTORT thanks man! Yeah I’m using obs to screen record but it hates FL studio too haha routing to audio through the external software to get it to come out of OBS just takes sooooo much cpu. Did you find anything better?
@@boofinintheboysroom there's stream labs which was a nightmare and a software called filmora but, audio issues. If I figure something out I'll definitely let you know hahahaha
boofinintheboysroom is the hardest name ever
The name of my first ep under boofinintheboysroom was “pu55y orc da god” because I couldn’t decide which one was a better artist name lol but boof does go pretty hard
Yooo, another FL Studio metal boy like me?? We should kiss
What if we kissed under the Fruity Parametric EQ 👉🏼👈🏼 …
This video is f###% fantastic 🔥 Subscribing
Thank you so much dude!! I really appreciate it!
That's dope. I appreciate your using fl studio. It's highly underrated
Dude yes. It’s more to learn but once you get set, the workflow is so easy and you can get close to mixed/mastered quality as you record. Thank you for the kind words man!
its literally one of the most popular daws, wtf
@@zbigniewiksinski for bedroom guitarists it’s usually Reaper but yeah fl is super popular amongst producers for sure!
omg i remember that tim henson also said the same thing about the rap lyrics he said that the playing god riff is based off of some rap song
I’ll have to look him up! That’s sick I’ve never heard of anyone else doing that!
Not Playing God, But O.D. is based on a Kanye song. Although he's stated in other interviews that a lot of the melodies he uses try to imitate a rap cadence.
I think you're being too hard on yourself in this video💀, because honestly this video is so goated and helpful. I didn't even know what Metric Modulation was 19 minutes ago, only heard of it and this video definitely made it clearer to me
Haha I appreciate it bro! More of self deprecating humor to get the point across that I have no formal music training but I appreciate the kind words dude! Glad I could demystify the metric modulation! I use to be so intimidated by it until I did it on accident haha
thats so cool damn, never thought of it. also what guitar do you use??
Thank you dude!
It’s a Legator N8FOD with fishman fluence moderns! It’s awesome man, I’m a huge fan of legator
I understand the audio issues, man. I know that it can be a b*tch. but good stuff man, keep it up.
Its infuriating but ill work it out over time haha thanks man!
@@boofinintheboysroom for sure brother.
Maybe the cpu is overloading when you're recording with all the plug-ins and what not. Try switching the encoder to your dedicated graphics card if you have one. And also really good ways of explaining ways to get creative with rhythm. Well Said.
Ill have to see if i can figure out how to do that. ANYTHING to help the audio on both ends sound a little better haha thank you dude!
I've zero interest in thinking about a rap song (that already exists-with someone else's lyrics) while playing my songs. That being said, it can be something to get you to where you don't need it anymore, I suppose. Hell, I've gotten ideas from listening to people talk up in the front seat, or raindrops falling off the spouting. So I'm not criticizing. Music is happening everywhere, all the time.
Do you have a template or flp you use with groups and busses set up etc that we can download for easy recording my dude?, i wanna make music but im not a producer, i just wanna record stuff
I’ll see if I can find a way to set that up, that would be awesome actually! In my “home recording studio” video I kinda cover my tone and what I use to get the production side of things dialed. I’ll see if I can set up a template people can download and I’ll let you know if I get it made! Thanks for the comment dude! I totally know what you mean by just wanting to record stuff haha

0101011001001011011 the music.
Close! More of a 000000001. I don’t get that technical
Even though I primarily listen to metal music, I do not really feel like I even understand what you are talking about in this video. The example songs included between clips of you talking mostly just sound like you're strumming a single note/power chord over and over. It does not seem very complex, and I personally find this rather grating to listen to. Hence, I cam only assume this methodology only applies to a narrow style of metal music.
It’s not technically complex, I have other “technically” complex songs but this is more about writing complex rhythms and patterns which is the basis for a lot of the metal I enjoy and try to emulate (see; Frontierer, Ion Dissonance). It’s on the more extreme spectrum of “metal” maybe better described as “math metal” or “djent”. I appreciate the comment though! Check out my newest video on atmosphere, it may be more suited to the type of music you like!
great vid just sometimes need to see someone do what ur trying it helps. just found ur stuff ill keep up with ur stuff im in the same boat trying to start youtube and create good music to send out in the world. it takes time man i know how it is. ur doing great on the vids definately deserve more eyes and ears.
Thank you for the kind words dude! Nice man, it’s so much fun making music even if I’m the only one that hears it haha thanks again!
