[@ReidStefanMusic]

Happy Tutorial Tuesday! Subscribe to follow my weekly uploads :)

[@davidchapman5782]

thanks so much for doing this man, helped me a lot. Also your videos are always super enjoyable just because of the fucking puppet lol.

[@lofikiwii]

This channel is amazing, the way you subtly just add in comments about your roommate and act it out with the puppet makes it 10x better.

[@lofikiwii]

Sub'd for the puppet

[@pickflip113]

"I'll wait" 😂😂😂

[@td8916]

what puppet?

[@jiminidiesel]

"Hold on - I think my roommate was opening a coconut"

[@clearthought9736]

Jim Diesel was about to quote the same thing lol. Amazing

[@carolinecampelloarruda5022]

Lol

[@aryadwipa3204]

That’s a unique line right? Make it a song please😆

[@domsusefulstuff]

Lost my sh*t @ "I think my roommate was opening a coconut". lolololololol

[@theorrymusic]

I wish the camera switched to another puppet in the kitchen cutting the coconut and then the puppet awkwardly stared back

[@mitch150]

"ill wait" LMAO

[@adlibbeats]

@jack Johnston. Yes. Missed a trick there.

[@SAGEBURNT]

Thanks, needed this.

[@ErickT_MX]

Save entire channels Save channel configurations (for mixing) Use less layers Be minimalist Find your tempo

[@BassBoostingBrony]

Erick T. time 3/8, tempo 238 bpm, genre, dorfstyle

[@tonipepperoni3424]

Erick T. You were minimalist in your approach to summing up the video

[@theaddictofgaming9174]

No quite my tempo

[@turtle2slo]

optimize flow w/ artifacts you enjoy reusing Less is more, it can be good to delete stick to the idea, don’t distract the listener Enable yourself to try new things

[@rileyevans6070]

“What the fuck is that” 😂😂 has me crying the puppet looking back 😂 too good!

[@Blacksh33p16]

How do these not have billions and millions of views? I feel like ive stumbled across a hidden gem. Your videos are really cool man

[@ReidStefanMusic]

Pieter Geyer you've opened the treasure chest

[@benhill4real]

same here

[@ragtagboyrebel]

Maybe 'cause billions and millions of people don't produce music. Most of the people are just listeners, not creators.

[@niccologomrrah]

Dang you are dropping knowledge, this was actually much more informative than I thought!

[@dreographicmusic8002]

Its 2020 and i have been struggling with THIS for years. I just discovered this video today, and it just became one of the most significant set of tips i’ve received... i’ve been warching your videos for a a little over a year and this video here today i feel has been the most impactful. Thank you Reid, fr dude 🙏

[@luisfelipehernandez7920]

Revisiting this video after a year or so, I'm very happy to had integrated these into my workflow. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge Reid!

[@knoxhardly3082]

1:35 sample that! hahaha love that bit

[@hewrecbizman]

I liked this video especially where Reid said toward the end about also being simple, because a long time ago when I was composing songs off a keyboard of mine a woman name Ariel I knew in EauClaire Wisconsin said she showed songs of mine to a friend of hers, who said she thought my songs were too simple sounding because they only had drums, bass and a lead instrument sound. quit enough other people in EauClaire Wisconsin liked my songs though even with three instrument sounds like that. All the people who liked them, like them also because of them sounding like me. Them people who like them felt I had found my own sound. Back then i was still only recording and mixing either back and fourth between two cassette tape decks through a 16 channel mixing board, or recording 4 track wise on a stereo reel to reel player recorder though my 16 channel mixing board. I didn't even know as much back then as i do now about recording, mixing and mastering. Now that i do know as much as I do also about mixing and mastering, I only do to my tracks and the whole mix what I think sounds like the tracks or whole mix just onlyh needs done to get the whole thing to sound the way i feel i like it to sound.

[@Backinthedase]

I know you've heard this like 10 thousand times now, but I gotta say. That damn puppet is genius, makes the videos much more interesting to watch and continue watching until the end haha

[@devine_noise]

The jellyfish are so relaxing. I've been producing for 18 years and you still gave some good tips!

[@normapadro9704]

I'm so glad I found you. I never saw any of your videos before. You are my favorite tutorial guy. You are funny too. I like the part of the coconut. I really like your video I also subscribed to your channel. I'm looking forward to more of your videos now. They are very informative. Have a great day.

[@JakeBartolinOfficial]

What even is this channel? Puppet producer? Whole loops sponsor? This is awesome!

[@kalithevagabond246]

what's crazy is when you said not to et so technical because since I started following the standards of producing to a tee I've noticed myself having a harder time. I was making beats on GarageBand before I got deep into this and most of them where absolute incredible.

[@NineInchFailz]

These videos are both confusingly hilarious and ridiculously helpful

[@BrianKlobyGuitar]

The puppet's got it going on... thank you :)

[@gasmicmusic3401]

Awesome video, good to see that Im going on the right direction, to get my music to a next level, thanks!

[@boywonder422]

Reid you are absolutely the greatest. Thank you for, what I have to say is, the highest quality tutorials for Ableton I have experienced on interwebbery. Big love to the realest puppet in the mf game!!

[@ledcruz3057]

that tempo advice is interesting might give it a try

[@atonementaudio]

the first tip is so damn useful thank you man. straight to the point i love your videos!

[@gregory22193]

The best time saver ever!!

[@JoeyLaslo]

These videos are SO quality

[@jessekincer2294]

Great video!!! Very well worded and motivational by all means!!

[@yosoyrachael]

[@ruslan_vovk]

Thanks, it's good advices.

[@ggodle0728]

Really thank you especially for the first tip! This is the solution I wanted... THX!

[@RaphaelRacor]

You've had helped me a lot with your tips and I don't even produce dance music. Thank you.

[@xaqary]

Definitely my new favorite channel. I even watch the ones I feel I've already got a good hold on cuz...well? Puppets & opening coconuts! Jellyfish too!

[@MattMosca17]

Can you share any ideas specifically about finishing songs? Or have you already in another video? Thanks!

[@MikeSarge]

Nice! You clarified this out really well

[@discomelancholy]

you are the greatest of all time

[@RicardoSilva-jj6rg]

hahahaha dude I completely lost it when he turned around...

[@litlan7020]

So glad I just found this channel! Exactly what I've been looking for. Muppets

[@AndorvanReeven]

Getting very high quality knowledge by following the wisdom of a puppet👍🏼 thanks Reid!

[@josephanthony2659]

always great advice.

[@theR0ck3tsumm3r]

You: so how many inches does a man have to be in order to please you? Her: 7:39

[@skyscape2087]

Lmao dud

[@owlright9007]

Just super helpful stuff

[@BobAquatic]

This is really well put and helpful. Thank you!

[@justinbeck4197]

Worth watching this one...found most of those over a long period. Topic request. So..you've found a unique sound kind of your own that makes you feel alright. Now how do find a label. I'm into progressive trance..now got a new track and realized that it sounds nothing like what Armada is putting out so far this year for example.

[@DjghostyMusic]

hahahha I lost it at 1:36! lmao

[@Williamskiz]

Saving entire channels was the first thing I did when I started producing. Best decision I've ever made.

[@mikelo303]

best. channel so far

[@fasnosturalanov5415]

This is Vital. Thank you.

[@SiaNas]

Great tips, thanks

[@djron444]

Great video, i think the stuff you're talking about here is extremely important. Thanks you for sharing! :)

[@kalithevagabond246]

thank you

[@VidaniMusicOfficial]

Love your vids man!

[@thomas_rellum]

Thank you mate

[@isaak_mp3]

Thank you for this!

[@LouisSerieusement]

if you work with a hardware synth/drum setup, most of this advices are obligation ; 1) find your own sample/vst = use the same synth over and over, get to know them 2) save your channels = keep your synth plugs into your mixer 3) use less layer = you don't have an infinite number of synth so usually it's not possible to layer anyway 4) find your tempo = use a drum machine that don't have LCD display so you won't know the tempo XD

[@RareTechniques]

Nice video, at what point in the process should I be deciding my project tempo?

[@remshawmusiek7565]

Good Ideas. Thanks

[@MiaAmareMusic]

enjoyed watching it :D

[@JayHudsonMusic]

i love you, Reid

[@rezahamdani6214]

awosome dude !

[@CameronJames55]

Can you make more of these because I'm still trying to find my style and these tips help alot.

[@bobbiebatista2178]

I love this shit.

[@thelevels7322]

Good explain thank you🙏🏻 And I have a small confusion If the kick is in f#key and how melody and chord should be layer in that key f#.😐

[@codysimental4894]

you are great.

[@djcj]

Solid advice

[@zionherbert]

Amazing

[@SuperSaiyanScandinavian]

i love hearing this puppet swear. how did he not laugh at the coconut part haha.

[@taxcks]

hahhaahah 1:35

[@mitch150]

Made the video lmao

[@dusanpodsednik3591]

Ha ha haah this is too funny!

[@ProjectFinalAudio]

I'll wait 😏😁

[@Marvintosh]

weird take tips from a puppet, but damn, good tips bro :D

[@ReidStefanMusic]

never judge a tip by it's puppet : ]

[@iamdeejaymelody]

the realest jellyfish in the game

[@tommywesto5642]

Great tips. Any beginners out here looking for guidance . He just showed you a way.

[@Pritambeatboxmusic]

I don't know why but i can't stop watching jellyfish on the aquarium 😁

[@csandadenis]

Great!

[@AlexRodriguez-ul7mx]

lmfaoooo bruh the way the arm bent when you said wtf is that

[@jimmyy4672]

This is dope thanks Reid! How would you recommend staying in key with a remix? With chords, basslines and leads (pitch bending), perc elements all different pitches, how can you tell if everything is in key?

[@tastyboi2163]

Jimmy Y spectrum analyzer shows you the fundamental root note a drum hit if it has a pitch. especially useful for sub bass lines, kick drums and snares.

[@aaronbreyer]

youre amazing

[@KingCoCo]

Dope!

[@TheM0nsterX]

I only now acknowlidged that im looking at a puppet

[@deniskesiov3594]

Reid Stefan President

[@juandiegoramoscrooks6084]

thanksss

[@Kebabtsu]

nearly cried at 3:56

[@jjones7837]

....That time your roommate opened a coconut during your show.

[@javelinbrother]

i liked the video

[@Syncopad]

Where were you all my life

[@Mn2rockxz]

Thanks, Ps: Really hear touching! Trip" ..

[@SKILIMUSIC]

So.. No 'Stack the layers' anymore?😥😂

[@elmo9450]

❤️

[@orionshea]

where can i get that jellyfish thing at

[@SayajinKanak]

"Daddy chill..." 1:38 💀 😂

[@musicarchives2271]

really good tips dude, you've skipped may hours of trial and error for me

[@drotzroxan5647]

I think my roommate is opening a coconut 😂

[@Brandonheat1]

i love you

[@A7exandersca7es]

If you stare into Reid's eyes until your eyes lose focus, then his pupils disappear and youre left with a satanic puppet haha

[@TachyBunker]

I'll add something to the "find your tempo" thing. Nowadays everything is boringly perfect, on the grid, predictable. Try playing your music live and not quantizing, it really will stand out in the perfectly boring pool of music.

[@karljason6781]

Watching this makes me wonder how much arm muscle did he get with him under the table doing the puppeting

[@ToxikDnB544]

"i think this is a great... what the fuck is that" absolutley lost my shit when he said that"

[@JamesThompson-pz3kf]

Wow you keep showing us really great tips and shorcuts I never knew you could do. Like every day I sit there thinking I wish I could grab these channels from that project it would speed things up and now I know how thankyou!!!

[@ryanf3951]

imma leave this here 7:38

[@mychaelshakur]

"I'll Wait" Lol

[@sumchi3690]

Ableton ?
