Create Dreamy Lo-Fi Like SOFTY (Chords, Melodies & more!)

[@Markrspooner]

This channel is such a discovery, to the point I haven’t actually heard of these artists before, so not only an I learning how to create better lo-fi but also new artists to listen to. Thank you Will

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure my friend, that’s such a compliment! I try my best

[@LateNightTones]

Such an enlightening video as always. Thanks for the opportunity to play guitar on this beautiful track!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks so much for taking the time! Been diving into your wondrous Spotify tunes (link in description) as well today 🙌🏼

[@leenonelofi5460]

Guitar was 🔥

[@collormusic]

At this point I don't even know why you ask if you should release any of these? They are BANGERS! A release is a must! Always!

[@WillHatton]

You are so kind!! I hope you enjoyed!

[@ruffusduarte]

I know that is not properly “lo-fi” but i’d like to see recreate the sound of some artists from LA Beat Scene like: Flying Lotus, Teebs, MNDSGN, Samiyam or even more like Madlib, Quasimoto, J Dilla! Love you stuff, cheers from Portugal 🇵🇹

[@WillHatton]

It doesn’t HAVE to be Lofi, friend! That’s what I love about “Inspired By…” Inspiration can come from anywhere! I’m a HUGE fan of the LA beat scene! Definitely up for all of these! I’ve got stuff on Dilla and Teebs already so do make sure you check those out too! Big love from the UK right back!

[@MikeBeatingProduction]

Waouh! You did a pretty great job! LateNghtTones is so talented! I really love the softy sound! Keep up the good work! Cheers from France

Appreciate the kind words! Glad to be of service!

[@Jupiters_Fire]

Great video. I'm really new to LoFi so the content you are providing is really helpful. Thank you.

[@jm12green31]

Thanks man I'm really starting to dig the Lo-Fi vibe after just primarily following ambient downtempo and electronic music. You do a great job educating and enlightening those who are little softy in the head like me haha

[@WillHatton]

I LOVE the wordplay! 😂 Glad I could help! 🙌🏼

[@itsowlmygod]

Inspiring as always🔥

My pleasure!!!

amazing Will! thanks for all you do

[@WillHatton]

Always a pleasure, Najeeb!

[@ChilledGreese]

Another great video and this track is amazing!

[@WillHatton]

Thanks friend!

[@MusicCtrap]

Big fan of softy, loved the breakdown! Any chance of a mondoloops inspired by? Or would also love to see an Arbour inspired too!

[@WillHatton]

Lots of folks ask for Mondoloops! Any reason why? He has a channel where he makes his own music, no? I’m open to it - just curious why folks want me to make his music rather himself!?

[@MusicCtrap]

@@WillHatton haha that's true, I love his vids, I've been watching you, mondo + arbours vids religiously recently just can't get enough of that textured lofi vibe!

[@WillHatton]

@@MusicCtrap I see! I’ll keep it noted, maybe I can get us to collab at some point on the channel!

Thanks 🙏🏼 (there is never enough lofi drum tutorial)

[@WillHatton]

😂 Noted! And I agree

[@Claie1098]

Thank you Will brother😀 for the tutorial. I want to ask that what was the bpm of this dreamy music.

[@WillHatton]

My pleasure - 70BPM

Do you get midi in Patreion? I need these so bad

[@joybeats2425]

hey there will, awesome video! do you know where i can download christians claustophobic piano vst? all the best to you

[@WillHatton]

It’s been delisted from piano books website but it can still be found on odd forums through a Google search. I think (the last time I checked) someone linked it on Reddit

[@gialuu781]

You forgot to mention the track number 7 😟, that sound is the most unique one in the song.

[@WillHatton]

You’re right!! My apologies. You want to grab the operator and set it to a pluck (or choose the preset Plastic Kalimba), pull in the Arpeggiator and record a chord. Add reverb and increase the “wet” automation from 0-100 towards the end of the chord… that’s the effect!

[@gialuu781]
