Fellow CZcamsr @lrgstmrg mentioned in the comments getting stuck in 8/16 bar loops. So I turned on the camera, and hopefully came up with some helpful perspective!
Dude, this is brilliant. Honestly, the video editing is rather amusing, loving your vibe. You are a funny dude and I am looking forward to more of you videos and watching your channel grow! Remember, you can't stop ethiopian jazz.
@@HiddenLayersMusic Gotta say, I agree, I dig the vibe. Resonate with a good bit of this/you & your outlook, and as a “traditional instrument playing musician” it is so important to jam on something. Really dig the pitched perc hits/pluck sound in the interludes, and the hint of “oh it may get grimy” bass line. I’ll be looking forward to the next round
Hey man. Thanks a lot for that injection of positivity. 1. Decide to make a song. 2. Make a song. 3. Enjoy yourself and spice it up. You just broke my internet. And I agree, it really is that mindnumbing easy. How the hell did it get lost along the way? For me, I guess its two things, reflecting back on your message. Namely tech sessions/song procrastination or just plain laziness. There is nothing wrong with any of my endless bars or tech sessions. But I must not continue to confuse that with songmaking is. It really is about mindset. So from now on. Decide what I want to do before starting. Am i jamming out the perfect groove or a I creating a song. The perfect groove is a tormenting search for perfection, whilst a song is just hard work. Lay out the structure, don't think to hard and as you pointed out. SPICE IT UP LATER. Thanks again man, a lovely video! ❤ 😂🎉
There’s no rules really! A ton of great songs, short or long with jolting disconnected parts. It’s all subjective. Key changes, tempo drops, mood shifts. Even huge hits like “Good Vibrations”. Fine balance between excessive rules and excessive freedom hehe
Love this video, but copying other people's work to learn music production is an incredibly valuable tool. When visual artists go to college they learn by trying to reproduce exactly the works of the masters. Yes, being original should be a goal, but learning how to do exactly what the masters do teaches you so much. Spending a few hours copying even just the structure of a piece you love (not the music, just the sctructure) will teach you so much, even if you perma-delete the end resulys from your hard drive the moment that you finish.
That’s true! And I’m not making a case against the copy method as a value-able method. For those with the yearning for exploration, and the excitement of an over grown path (because nothing is 100% original);however, I think they have fulfilling options, outside of what literally everyone everywhere says to do (go copy a thing). Just wanted to encourage that curiosity and freedom!
Loop-making sessions "turn into six or eight hour K holes, and you're like, "oh! I forgot to eat.""
I feel personally attacked 😅
😆 3 square meals a day, or else ! 😂
Working on a follow up that’s more concrete help!
Don't say "K holes" in Sweden. It's like "F holes" in english. 😊
@@jenstornell I’m confused haha. An F-Hole, like the sound hole in a string instrument?

Thank you for such an awesome comment! Really appreciate that.
Ethiopian Jazz Forever!! 😃

the interlude or maybe the chorus sounds like a very subtle Ott
Your track sounds like a video game about a little jumping blob trying to squash evil worms from space.
Nice I was going more for Pizza Hut with the Boys after drinking too much Mountain Dew and playing Golden Eye until 3am 😂
Oooooh, where can I buy this game, I am already so hooked!!! 🤪

Exactly!! If you’ve been making sick grooves and loops then 100% you definitely have killer songs in your arsenal, just gotta let em unwind!!
Transitions and good structure is the hardest parts I think. A track is 3 min and all should be connected.

Thanks Hidden Layers,
Where is this track in this version so i can mix it into my ecstatic dance set
???
Oh crap, I’ll have to mix it a little bit and bounce it down!
For me it's 'make songs, not riffs'.
Haha! The riff graveyard is full!
Also updated the title (good call!), thanks!
@@HiddenLayersMusic hehe, nice!
Great video.
Thank you! Really appreciate that.
Are you a Hipyo tech's brother
I’m actually not sure what that is!
First of all, how are you? I missed you man! Thank you for the inspiration.
Second... is that Luna you are running?
Doing awesome! Hope you’re well too!
Luna it is! My fav of the bunch

Thank you, love that word, jovial, it’s a great word!

It’s Ted Tom. You’re either Dave, Chris or Jake?
