Habit by Chase Bliss - Writing a Song

This is no joke. You’ve done it again, @knobs.creative & @chasebliss. Habit is a hit! 💛
blooper has been a revolutionary tool for my songwriting and composition since I got it a year ago. One of my all time favorite effects. After some time together, I already know Habit is an echo of that tune.
Thank you for the groundbreaking work y’all are doing. These devices help musicians make music they simply couldn’t create otherwise and that’s awesome. I’m grateful to be apart of this golden era of musical technologies and innovations. ⏰
blooper, MOOD & Habit together?! Let's see what's we come up with...

Such a great video! I am just wondering what extra box is needed to put vocals through the pedals? 😎

[@nvkd]

Same here, curious to know how to do !

[@stephenbeyer]

Thank you! For this video I used the Boss RC-30 seen in the first clip 0:00. It has a handy dandy XLR input with Phantom Power! 😲 There are other pedals that have XLR inputs (the new Line 6 DL4 MKii has one, JHS' Color Box etc.). I've tried an XLR-Line adapter before and it works, though I feel it's probably not the best way. (Can anyone confirm if that would be the case with using that adapter??) Radial Effects makes a variety of solid reamper units as well if you want to go that route. Hope that helps! 🤙

[@ShaighJosephson]

I run vocals through my computer then use a Radial Reamper to run it through my guitar pedals....

[@IsaiahGrande]

Beautiful video of you and the fam. Very nice sounds you were able to get unintentionally

[@stephenbeyer]

Thank you! The unintentionally is a big part of what can make Habit fun to play with.

[@Shirtdust]

Everything about this video is adorable and awesome. Thanks for the content:)

[@stephenbeyer]

[@tachyonbeats1527]

First time I’ve seen your channel. Thank you for sharing this moment with us

[@stephenbeyer]

Welcome! Im happy to share. 🤗

[@vsjeieb1628]

Beautiful sounds and family! I didn't know I needed this.

[@stephenbeyer]

Thank you. 🤗 Looks like a new habit is born. 🐣

[@Pedalnerds]

Great video! I'm enjoying the Habit myself.

[@stephenbeyer]

Thank you! It’s a good one, isn’t it? 💛 Have you found any interesting/fun ways to use it? 👂

[@iamjamessmith]

I loved this. Thank you!

[@stephenbeyer]

So glad! Thank you! 🙏

[@StocktonVault]

*This is amazing, thank you! I just had my Habit delivered yesterday, and you've inspired me to dive right in!*

[@stephenbeyer]

Heck yeah! It’s a crazy one. Enjoy, man! 🤘

[@wetrot3421]

Lovely stuff!! Really enjoyed this, thank you

[@stephenbeyer]

Good, I’m glad. 🤗 I appreciate you watching!

[@jeronimobingen]

this is brilliant 😂

[@stephenbeyer]

Thanks! Habit is truly brilliant. Very grateful to live in an era of such imaginative innovation in the effects pedal world! 🤗

[@hunter281996]

i'm so glad that I got recommended this video. you definitely sold me on the habit pedal and even got me looking into the other chase bliss selection. you have a wonderful family and i have to say, how was your day darn near made me cry it is so pretty. great vid!

[@stephenbeyer]

Welcome! That’s really sweet of you to say, thank you. ☺️

[@stephenbeyer]

Dark World was my first Chase Bliss pedal and I’ve been blown away by each one I’ve tried since. Definitely give one a go if you have the chance! 👌

subscriber number #100 !

[@stephenbeyer]

That’s what’s up! Thank you!! 🙏

[@bepelias]

@@stephenbeyer i couldn't believe you had just 99! i really loved what you do in the video and also the result of the child's voice experimentation was very board of canada -esque haha

[@stephenbeyer]

@@bepelias Wow, thank you so much! That’s kind of you. I was happy with the results too and am excited to share more! 🤗 I’ve only listened to a bit of Boards of Canada but I know I listen to a lot of similar artists. I’ll have to check them out more. Any album of theirs that you recommend?

[@jeffryarchambeau5441]

I've heard it's really sturdy. They say a habit is hard to break.

[@wintermute101]

I want to come hang out at your place! You guys know how to have a good time!

[@stephenbeyer]

We love to have friends come by! My girls and awesome effects pedals make it easy to have fun!

[@synchronisticmelanatedmysitic]

Bro I’m happy i watched this!! Blew my mind, that how is your day clip should be used in every intro and sparsely with random music tracks as a sorta watermark/ trademark… you shoulda incorporated the modulated didgeridoo and “topatoes” lol 😊😊😊😊🤙🏿

[@stephenbeyer]

That makes me happy to hear. I’m glad you enjoyed it! 🤗 That’s a good idea! Haha “Topatoes” is one of my favorite parts. 🥔

[@andycordy5190]

Since the earliest days of electronic music, there has been a temptation to use what the electronics coughed up, when "Hey! Is this thing on?" gets to become the music. Until you have a measure of control over what comes out, it's music but it's not composing. There's going to be a lot of that kind of music around Habit. I think it has huge potential. The weirder you let it go, the better it will be IMHO

[@stephenbeyer]

I think I understand what you’re saying… Do you feel Habit doesn’t have enough measure of control to be a composing device? 🤔

[@andycordy5190]

@@stephenbeyerNo, not my meaning at all, though, necessarily the controls are compressed into a very small space. I meant that instead of having a preconceived musical idea, or improvising with the conventions of melody and harmony, tech is inclined to present exciting things that surprise and inspire us and we are caught up in that, perhaps applying little musical direction beyond collaging sounds. I believe the Habit will do that a lot and it will require a considerable self discipline and a competence in the use of the pedal to steer these ideas towards an intended goal rather than what Habit produces by the myriad coincidences it will summon up from interleaving algorithms.

@@stephenbeyer Haha yeah secrets are hard! Really fun video by the way!

[@stephenbeyer]

@@theLastRaptor you’re right about that. And thank you! It was fun to make 😁

[@skedi33]

sounds a lot like Boards of Canada :)

[@stephenbeyer]

It's funny, you're not the first one to compare some of my music to Boards of Canada 🍁. I haven't listened to them a ton, but I'll have to do so more fully. Do you recommend any album in particular?

[@kltpurp2206]

You shouldn’t play your didgeridoo right into the mic like that, you should play it on the other side of a really good acoustically treated room. Cool video tho! I really love these crystalline sounding effects.

[@stephenbeyer]

Good tip, thanks for the suggestion! If it’s not obvious, I’m a novice at the didgeridoo (I just recently got it). It’s fun though! Thanks for watching! 🤗

[@commodoor6549]

You guys are having too much fun... don't make a Habit of it 🤣

[@stephenbeyer]

😆

[@nathan63411]

Grest familly! I think that song is more like "yestarday". This is test.

[@stephenbeyer]

Thank you! My girls are the best. 🥰 Interesting! I’m assuming you’re talking about The Beatles song, no? Which part?

[@nathan63411]

@@stephenbeyer Sorry, bad joke..good video.

Haha no problem! I make my fair share of bad jokes. 😅
