death's dynamic shroud - "Faith in Persona" ~ project file Walkthrough

[@noregerts2099]

I have never related more to a creative process right down to sneaking in a sophie sample every time. Helps that it is such a good pack

[@DrCups113]

DDS my favorite vaporwave artist. Loved "Ill try living like this" so much and when you released Faith in Persona I creamed. You took the vaporwave formula of sampling things from 80s/90s songs and evolved it by including samples from early 2000s. I genuinely feel like you single handedly evolved vaporwave. Faith in Persona is a masterpiece of an album and its SERIOUSLY a shame it hasn't gotten as popular as earlier albums. My favorite track off the whole album is "Someones in the room"

[@vprwv1]

You GOTTA fix that typo bro 😭

[@qwobot]

faith in persona

[@narvi5779]

keith is currently inspiring an entire generation of artists and i'm not sure if he realizes

[@illford]

Honestly i feel like DDS was a crazy listen for me, i'd known about them from ages ago when Vaporwave was more popular but then i saw Faith in Persona (i think it was a fantano video) and gave it a listen and the MIDI aesthetic along with the sampling was one of those click moments of "yes that is the sound", i feel like only like 5 artists have ever given me that feeling

Insane rizz

[@grayson206]

This makes me want to simultaneously quit music and also make more

[@solarparade]

shocked that the project file is in 4/4, I hear it in 3/4

[@Jumpscare_Da_Piggy]

I always heard it as a polyrhythm

[@kwhyland]

"Pop Chin" was an absolute obsession of mine when this record clicked for me. Couldn't tell you how many days I spent tearing it to shreds in my head, marveling at the ingenuity of certain songwriting moments (the transition leading up to 2:12 immediately comes to mind) and how utterly cinematic the whole journey manages to feel in such a tantalizingly short runtime. It's pop perfection. Even if you don't get into the weeds of that particular track in a breakdown, just know that your ear for detail has been a wonderful instructor for me during this past year of devouring your music.

[@giantclaw]

amazing comment, thank you!

[@crazyspock4986]

Shocking…I’m rather amazed how this project can be done logically and clearly😢

[@olseaweedbeardye8622]

this is such a cool video seeing one of my favorite artists break down music like this, it’s amazing seeing the process and hearing the unfinished and cut parts. Also nice shirt lmao

[@polymerproduct_spTh]

HOLY SHIT KEITH!!! This really just makes me wonder even more what the Soft Channel project files look like with how much is going on in that album lol, amazing video!!

[@gabrielmarciu69]

I don't know if it's harder because it's a Collab but doing a walk-through for generating utopia or any song off of you like music would be amazing.

[@pressspacetostop]

you are so cool for doing this! ive dreamed of this kind of insight into your guys' music since 2018

gasp! and to think that this would be a private video for bandcamp subscribers only! so much for "nuwrld mixtape club exclusive"...

[@ajwood2444]

that chair looks like the laugh cry emoji

[@beginningofchaos]

This is unbelievable, thank you for sharing it, love your art and your music!

[@dafffodil]

okay whoa i had no idea the "transient" setting related to the warp markers that you set, that's such a useful tool i'm definitely going to be leaning into

[@martellolukas]

Absolutely Incredible! Thank you for making these walkthroughs!

[@ronaldc8634]

Before watching this it had occurred to me that DDS can actually get me to understand and enjoy pop music

[@LLClawz]

[amazing ! thank you for making this video !]

[@la5tkn0wn]

yoo wtf youre in here too lol

[@lqpf]

straight gas ong

[@Sognik]

I would love a “Reality 2” breakdown on any of the songs on there. That whole album is crazy intricate to me and would love to hear your thought process

[@panicoop]

Amazing! thanx for sharing your process ♥

[@giantclaw]

thanks for watching!

[@pewpewindustries2657]

audio engineer professional forgets to remove the white noise in his youtube video

[@helloface001]

incredible stuff, thank you so much

[@d0ubl3d]

Obviously inspired by the GOAT Jane Remover to do an album breakdown

[@gamezguy71]

Skies of Arcadia sampling? Hell yeah.

[@hullauttttt]

absolutely amazing watching this and listening to FIP, amazing job man

Please do Pop Chin 🙏. Absolutely adore the bass on this track btw

[@thomasderijk]

really cool insights

[@en0kK]

Great stuff.Would love some more art tutorials

[@not.spir0s]

was that a bjork sample in the drums???

[@uljez.]

can you show us how you made "(...)"? that one seems the most musically complex.

[@caio_rueger]

Would also love to see some photoshop workflows 🥺

[@Chard0x]

Hey Keith! I know you may not see this comment, but I took inspiration from this album's cover + 2 others and made a mashup album cover during my 10th grade art class. Now, I won't use it for any music projects (as I'd have to consult you, Tech, or James, as well as the other musicians that inspired my album cover I drew), but I just figured to tell you this. I love you and the other members' works under the death's dynamic shroud name, btw.

[@giantclaw]

that’s cool to hear! feel free to use what you made

[@crazyspock4986]

PLEASE do What? to be human walkthrough🙏

[@Multi-Waves_Music]

Omgoshhhh

[@tyty-ht9ov]

Wow. Thank you! Will y’all ever do a vinyl release of Faith in persona?I NEED it in my life.

[@FireJojoBoy]

omg, do more of these :D Can you walk through CD Factory?

[@amerism4530]

can u do more artwork tutorials please

[@elysian778]

this video is awesome

[@joseluismendoza374]

I have a question that I hope you can answer. How do you go about clearing samples for the albums you have done? I've noticed that you've sample a large range of different samples and I was a bit curious how you go about doing that. On a side note thanks for the upload, your music is a big inspiration to me and this is a masterclass in understanding how to be a better music producer.

[@chuuuu1131]

He doesn't. Nobody in the Vaporwave community does.

[@vee361-e1c]

It's not on Spotify iirc

[@joseluismendoza374]

@@vee361-e1c The album is on Spotify though, that's what puzzles me. If it was a soundcloud or KZbin upload it would make sense, but the album has an official release. If anyone can give me some insight about this I would greatly appreciate it.

[@giantclaw]

thanks! look up 'transformative use', also now i try to sample from larger artists or companies that might be too big to care. its always a risk though

[@joseluismendoza374]

@@giantclaw Thank You!! Appreciate the reply I was wondering how you managed to sample bigger name artist. I've been debating on sampling other people's music but I will definitely take a look into transformative use.

nice

[@LucidEnt]

Keith I have a question about your song 혼자 남은 지금 꼴이, its your 4th song on Ill try living like this, you guys sampled Separated by Avant, and I'm curious how were you able to separate the vocals from the rest of the instruments?

[@giantclaw]

I had been collecting acapellas I would find online for years and had a big folder of them! but now if you search 'stem separation plugin' theres many that can isolate vocals seamlessly

[@LucidEnt]

@@giantclaw OH dang you actually respond! Thank you man for responding, i thought you had done that, but I was just making sure , i didn't know if there was some secret sauce i didn't know about

[@prcld]

@@LucidEnt if you're looking to use a stem separator personally i really like mvsep
