Good job man, sounds great. It can come to life even more through some intense mastering! Sick legit.

I'm an absolute beginner. My dream is to be able to make music. I have a collection of ideas I want to bring to life. Though I feel a little overwhelmed at a complete beginner level.

this format is so good. the chatgpt prompt stuff you do at the start of the video is such a good excercise, never thought of that! working with references and guidelines like that makes the path way clearer for actually practicing as a producer. and getting to watch how you work with that is very inspiring. keep it up!!!

Ive been looking forward to another video, praise da lawd

crazzzyy man love this

❤

Great to have you back making videos😁

We miss you Seth 🌟

Can you make if you too shy?

This is so good. Thank you

I love this format, and I use Cubase.😆

how do you get the Stems, btw? Or do you create them?

youre so goated man

Nice work, Seth! Loved the demo and video overall

Seth is back 🎉

I missed your videos, welcome back! 😁

found your channel today. thank you so much! I was so frustrated writing stuff. I felt stuck. You removed many roadblocks and you do it in a coherent, successive way. Other tutorials lack the context the information is imbedded in. You do it differently and that is quite rare in the jungle of people talking about production and mixing.

Really impressive dude, keep going!

That synth gave the chorus a dope vibe. Enjoying the vids fam!

Amazing ! What Guitar Rig Preset u used ??

Thank you for making this 🙏🏾

Seth, missing your videos! Where you at 😂

Can I tell us more about the scratch guitar pad? Fellow producer here. Would love to know more

Love it, sounds amazing. Would love to see if you can dive into how they make these Plucky pads, that are randomly arpeggiated. I've heard them in some of their songs, and from what i can work out, it HAS to be modular synthesis. Would love to see if you can make something similar in the free VCV version. Examples : ''The Birthday Party'' ''Be My Mistake''

I'd love to see this video from programming a guitar vst standpoint. I understand what you're saying but I'm not a guitarist so playing with a guitar vst would be helpful.

More super helpful tips - thank you!

Amazing. Absolutely love this. Where did you get those percussion loops? Splice?

Great tutorial! Thank you for this. Super helpful.

Spot on!

Wonderful

Amazing 🎉

A lesson I learned once is that it takes having no judgement in order to realize the beauty/ essence of something

thanks for the video

do you have a this song ableton live set?

literally sounds so cool, wth

Lewitt does sound but better to my ears

This is so well done.

a little bit reverb and it should sound like this in the mix [proceed to uncover 5 layers of backing vocals] jk it was funny but thanks for the tips! really appreciate it

how do i make the sound of the tracks on the ep/album are consistent? to make sure that all tracks sound like they came from the same album

More stuff like this, really simple and informative... when you do the stuff with the capo how are you working out what scale sheet to do the high inversion/extensions... is it say if your in C and you have the capo on the second fret you'd use the D shapes for the same numbered chord?

I have to say my initial response to the advice around the 4 minute mark was that it was really bad. In retrospect, I still think it's bad advice, but it may be due to framing. First and foremost, the idea of needing 30 songs before you make a 12 song album is frankly insane. Even the Beatles didn't do that and they were prolific writers. However, I think if you reframed it, you could reasonably say that you should be coming up with ideas all the time, and that you should expect about 30 to 50% of those ideas to be workable into a full song. But you also need to take a lot of those ideas to completion before you can reliably recognize which ideas have potential and which could be dead ends. Additionally, you need to create a support structure for those ideas - keep your preferred instrument as accessible as often, play it often, play it without "trying" to write, play with trying to write, play songs you like from other people, figure out the parts you like the most from their music (e.g. a chord change, a rythym, a melody) and figure out why it works (theoretically or otherwise) and then rip it off and write your own song around that seed. And then you need a quick process for remembering those ideas and in some cases fleshing them out - I have my tab software and Reaper open on my computer all the time. Return to your old ideas that didn't work and see if something new occurs to you. Better yet, when in doubt on what to develop, always go with the things you remember without the aid of your recordings - if they are memorable, it means they are good. In other words, you should not "write 2.5x more songs than you need" nor should you ever "write an album" - you should come up with ideas, go with the ideas that seem the most promising and that inspire you, but keep the other stuff hanging around. Ideas might be a riff, a lyric, a chord change, whatever. Then when you get to the point where a certain number of songs have gotten to a pretty decent stage, you can start thinking of them as an album. Second, you should love the process, in the sense that it provides a sense of satisfaction, purpose, and meaning. But I've never met a good musician who loved the process of recording an album because it is hard. It is stressful. It can drive you insane - there are a ton of decisions and when you are by yourself there is no one to share the load. You should be in love with the result, but the result is the song, not the album, and yes obviously it is also not "the idea of having made an album". But I think saying you need to love the process not the result is potentially misleading primarily because it is not a pleasant process for most good musicians. If someone finds it easy, their music probably sucks - with the exception of instrumentalists who are very very good at their instrument. For them the recording might be easier, but that is primarily because they've gone through a lot of pain learning their skill. Everybody has to push through some difficulty at some point.

what daw is that?

The lewit sadly

Man, thank you, you addressed questions that I needed answers on

Drop D ?

in agreement with everyone in the chat

This is incredible please release a full version

holy smokes i love this

lct 440 is way better

incredible video, and everything you talk about just clicks. I love Rick Rubin’s book on creativity and if you haven’t read it you definitely should. I am someone who struggles with structuring things out like this. I often dive in head first and can overwhelm myself by assuming things are more difficult than they seem. you’ve structured everything in a way that makes this seem a lot less daunting.
