Music is not about studying it should come from inside. Of course you can benefit from music theory and videos like this but depending full on those gets you nowhere when creating stuff. Those guys on youtube know their technical stuff very well yet they are just youtubers not artists (most of them).

@@hercin86 oh it certainly gets you somewhere, like, to a place where you have a groove, harmony, melodies.. It gets you to a place where you can have an idea in your head and you can lay it down on a keyboard/guitar/piano roll etc. It certainly is not everything you need. And ofc you can just monkey see monkey do, but understanding is like having the fishing rod, not the fish.

@@hercin86 they're different skills but both require practice and studying. Learning to write music in ableton live isn't too dissimilar to the process of learning an instrument requiring knowledge of theory and experience to be able to create your own music. Teaching someone a skill by demonstrating it can help people learn, many of the greatest musicians have imitated others before finding their own way.

There’s a number of ways. Some synths, like Massive, Vital, or Knifonium, have LFOs built in and you can just use that. There’s also other plugins that do the same thing, such as MondoMod from Waves (which I use all the time). I’m sure you could find free plugins that do this, but I’m not aware of them, since I almost always use my synth’s onboard LFO for effects like this. And of course, you can draw in the volume automation by hand. Might be a pain, but your DAW should allow you to copy-paste, which could save some time. This might be a really good option because it is the most flexible, and you can add other patterns. Like, do four of these dotted-eighth things, then add a triplet or a quarter note, etc.

@@habiboi_ The 3 in 3:4 polyrhythm stands for triplets, while the 4 stands for 16th notes. Since there were no triplets being used here, it is not a 3:4 polyrhythm. Instead, what was being used here are called "dotted eighth notes."
@habiboi_ Жыл бұрын
@@elijahren incorrect. the 3 in polyrhythm stands for "3" and 4 stands for "4." It is simply a ratio, and as is visible here, 3 quarter notes and 4 dotted eighth notes "sum" to the same value... contrasting rhythms. Many 3:4 polyrhythms encountered include triplets, but what truly matters is the ratio 3:4. you can probably argue a more strict defintion, but I feel that most musicians would simply call this a 3:4 polyrhythm as far as I know...
