I honestly laughed my ass off in the middle of class when you asked "Where's the Skrillex button?"

[@Yes-xn8du]

Class?

[@KingCoCo]

"WHERES THE SKRILLEX BUTTON" I spat my cup of tea out

[@ethannotnice6858]

why were you drinking the cup?

[@bigteetus]

hueheuehueh tea's cleansing as fuck

[@ethannotnice6858]

The Deep Won That is completely irrelevant to my comment

[@maynardhicks9917]

The Deep Won I like turtles!

[@bigteetus]

i like pears, not the hard ones, the soft mushy juicy ones.

"Where's the skrillex button?" - Multiplier 2013

[@AlexanderDemergis]

His commentary is making me cry lmao so funny

[@tylerjohn]

Lets change that to pink because it makes it sound cooler xD I died

[@mixman29]

This is the worse trap beat of all time.

[@H4NDCRAFTED]

He is clearly taking the piss out of kiddy trap producers...I use that term loosely lol

[@SlimOnCod]

mixman29 this is the *worst grammar of all time

[@mixman29]

You got me lol.

[@repload12]

"Where's the skrillex button?" DEAD

[@TheOfficialsira]

try to count how many times he says fuck it. GOOD LUCK

[@tylerjohn]

+Aris Demaj (Triple S) I see a drinking game... O_o

[@TheOfficialsira]

+dub jent 1 beer for every single time he says fuck it?

+Aris Demaj (Triple S) A shot

[@MurdoMcK]

+Aris Demaj (Triple S) takila

[@TheOfficialsira]

TRUE

[@OfficialImagineCraft]

And still sounds better than anything I've made. Fuck

[@rehjiimartin6311]

lol same

[@tylerparker1264]

keep on practicing lmao im past THAT stage thank god...

[@johnlong6494]

me too but i enjoy it anyways. Making "music" is very fun to me :D

[@PCNERD19]

same

[@saintpat2721]

come on all of you can do better than this

[@taeyang]

"THIS SOUNDS DUMB" Subbed

[@omarmoallim586]

+taeyang loool

[@VeganFootsoldier]

the problem with 10 minute beats is that they are often shit

[@ChrisLC43]

You guys are really taking this shit too seriously. Great vid, hilarious and entertaining

[@joshk8554]

While people have disliked this video because of the sound, (which is not that important) his process in what you do can be really beneficial to understand. Thank you Multiplier this was quite useful.

[@yungmemeboi]

Fuck this is hilarious bro. "Fuck it" after every decision.

[@zedster911]

Rename this to "Fuck It" LOL

[@DotaLife]

"just change this color to purple cuz that will make it sound better" hahaha

[@enigmastar2000]

What is this? This is the worst thing I've ever heard.

[@rufusbot4710]

+Josh J he just made it in 10 minutes. i'd say it sounds pretty good for something that was literally thrown together with no idea of how it would sound after the fact. meaning it's ok that it sounds like shit.

[@klisterable]

I could accept it if many of these synths and effects actually followed the rythm. That first ...thing.... he recorded is all over the place. It's loud, out of time and doesn't fit in at all. It's like he just pressed the key randomly. "But he quantized it" yes, but that doensn't make it any better. And that kick drum. He just copied and pasted it randomly. I know he only had 10 minutes, but in the beginning it was like he didn't even TRY.

[@rufusbot4710]

***** i think this video is also for entertainment purposes. in other videos of his like this, he barely makes anything, but they're funny and entertaining to watch. what did you expect from 10 minutes? i think you take it a bit too seriously.

[@SirCombatMelon]

+klisterable Fk me you think you can make everything melodic in 10 MINUTES ofc he won't take his time, he had 10 mins please, stop acting high and mighty

[@enigmastar2000]

***** I've taken the 10 minute challenge, and what I came up with was WAY better than the garbage in this video. But if you think I'm gonna download the software required to film my screen, install it, figure out how to use it, figure out the inevitable audio issues resulting from using 2 different soundcards, re-do the 10 minute challenge, upload it to my youtube channel, and send you a link just to prove that I'm better than this, you are completely insane. GTFO.

[@Jeremyhawaii808]

If the goal is entertainment, you hit the nail on the head. Don't stop teaching the way you do. Honesty comes through in this video and makes me feel a new sense of excitement. The beat was kinda wack tho dude. In this paradox I am held captive, and now must watch all your videos.

[@Jeremyhawaii808]

Oh snap that's alotta videos

[@caiphusdlamini7163]

I love the fact that you are so chilled and indifferent about what you do. What you do is super rad man.

[@robbie8829]

As a newbie to Ableton Live 9 I can appreciate this very much as this guy knows Ableton Live 9 very well... regardless of genre or musical tastes I respect what this guy did in 10 minutes... it would take me all day and night to do this... but with demos like this I hope to get it down to perhaps 15 minutes... nice job and thank you for the Live 9 crash course!!

[@SamBorgman]

Man this is the most hilarious thing I ever watched. End every bit of sound with a "fuck it" lol You gotta be a comedian.

[@hungrynoscoper]

HAHAHA "Haven't done any preparation other than realize I want to be Skrillex", "We've been dicking around trying to do some interesting shit", "DJs are lazy like that", "Ah fuck it" Hahaha I love you man #justsubcribed

[@facesangwich]

This is actually one of the most informative production videos I'v seen in a long time. Right to the point. I put a song together just the other day using a similar format.

How To Make a Crap Track in 10 Minutes

[@zakbmx7279]

Yep I know

[@SimpleSouls]

@@zakbmx7279 all trap is crap innit

[@handleunavailable]

Seriously....I was honestly disappointed by the result lol

[@scubasteve6175]

how to not get the obvious joke over the course of 10 minutes

[@CRXSH]

this isn't trap though... its clearly some edm form of something but its not trap

[@CRXSH]

trap came from the hood, it has a certain sound & way its made, at least authentically, EDM is not trap, a few rolling hi hats and snare rolls doesn't necessarily qualify it as trap

[@MultiplierSounds]

Crxsh words have different meanings in different contexts. in this context, some 808s and a bpm of maybe 140-160bpm is about all you need to call it trap

[@tsvtsvtsv]

+Multiplier Exactly. It's more the mentality though than anything. Some trap tracks can be as slow as 100 bpm, and some can be as fast as 190 bpm. Some don't even have the 808-style sustained bass on the kick, take Dirty Vibe for instance. All that aside, you, sir, are a trap mastermind. Masterful work for a 10-minute deadline.

[@tsvtsvtsv]

***** Sarcasm, dude.

[@sereysothe.a]

+theforsbergshow trap definitely isn't edm. real southern atlanta trap is hip hop

[@stubiklaus]

omg, this is hilarious, i love your humour. "change that to pink cause that may sound cooler" laughed way too much at this

[@jamesoneist]

huahua yes is the best I heard today :P

[@rufusbot4710]

the humor involved with this process alone incited me to sub to your channel. i've watched a few other of your videos and they're very informative, but this was just pure entertainment with a hint of insight as to how someone more experienced might work, even given the ridiculous time crunch and impossibility of producing something great in that amount of time.

[@DanielPfender]

He's so lucky those two clips he inserted at 14:20 were in the same key (or at least harmonized)

[@IceTeaGrenade]

this video should be called "Fuck it"

[@MultiplierSounds]

haha! that's what most of my videos should be called ;)

[@StephenTimeloopSalvona]

Just spent the first 5 mins laughing, you make it look easy

[@RaZmAjaZ45]

even for ten minutes this sounds like an audio version of autism

[@patriks9785]

*dead*

[@PCNERD19]

Isn't that what all trap sounds like though? XD

[@adityaalamuru]

lolololol!

[@joshk8554]

"Haven't done any preparation other than me deciding I want to be Skrillex" - Funniest shit I swear haha

[@DankChi66]

this is better than all the stuff i spend 5+ hours making -.- ... i suck, but im not giving up

[@23brandonjames]

and fucking dont man... one day we might be paying to see you keep at it

[@bubuhtu]

cwj415 so how is it going?

[@PitagoraProductions]

still making beats?

[@MontanaWeatherby]

Haha "that sounds dumb" made me laugh

[@voltapix]

Proud of You for continuing to create and post KZbin videos even when some of the most popular comments on this video are pretty hateful. Keep being you. It's already paid off so much.

[@DANNFIGDESIGNS]

Love this guy. Funny, but bad ass. Subscriber for life. For the ones with bad comments, you just can't get it if your not producing. If your too dumb to catch all the things you can learn from this video, I'm sorry. This guy is one of the best sound designers out there besides being able to whip up a quick trap track. Thank you Multiplier for your time and help creating these videos. I've learned quite a few things from you and appreciate it. I especially like your arrangement workflow. So simple.

[@ProfNishkamAcademy]

This dude is hilarious, id watch these videos purely for the entertainment alone....

[@PorchBass]

A true artist. Bravo Maestro! The filtered supersaw breakdown just opened my mind.

[@areality40]

Ableton is so different from Reason... so this is all new to me. All I can say is that I appreciate your ability to cuss like a sailor and make such a good quality track in just 10 minutes! Nice work!

[@bevonkacon17]

Thank you for demonstrating the difference between writing music, and mixing music.

[@Indiehustle]

Probably the greatest commentary to any video ever.

[@boudewijnpleij]

"pink, makes it sound cooler"

[@stationofdreams8242]

This was a really fun video. He clearly had a great time making his track and although this isn't my kind of music it sounded perfectly ok to me. The main thing is he had fun doing it. And that's what its all about, having fun making music. Too many people taking themselves to seriously here in the comments section. Well done, Multiplier !

[@michaelmillson8526]

lol you are fucking awesome dude haha i wanted to learn a bit about Ableton but i just enjoyed the banter and how quick you do all this. Ima watch ya videos a lot from now on man.

[@stability703]

Put a buncha of loops together wow your a producer 👍🏼

[@grapla]

that was good just using 10 mins. i learned a few things thanx

[@wabty33]

Hey. Seriously. Thank you. I just downloaded soft and I can CLEARLY see why your vid was recomnded. You're an aweso intro into

[@thomasjames89]

"Pink sounds cooler" Genius! hahaha

[@francescotosini1395]

Man you are so happy

[@MultiplierSounds]

+Francesco Tosini if you're happy and you know it clap your hands

[@blueskyautumn]

+Multiplier *clap clap*

[@Jomanmusic]

I hate Trap and even I can admit that this is significantly worse than Trap.

[@seedspaceorg]

Agreed... This is not trap, but worse. Not even a hint of a trap beat.

[@wildamerican2771]

***** What do you mean? Its slow as snail piss with a boring sub bass line...Pretty much every trap song out there...

[@Inubito]

Sounds like trap to me bruh.

[@TheHotFalafel]

can you record in effects to an existing clip without recording over it. So let's say I have a drum clip already set in the arrangement. I want to gradually raise the frequency. Do I have to use envelopes or can I record in the effect change?

[@ianwhitcomb7033]

So, beyond the constant cursing, this is awesome sir and i thank you for posting it. I'm learning the Live 9 suite right now myself to attempt my own production as a long-time deep/tech house DJ. Videos like this only push music forward and I also appreciate the old punk DIY spirit of EDM. Good on you brother.

[@Tatrii]

The way you say fuck it kills me LOL I die every fucking time!

[@henriqueboscaini]

yeah hahahah

[@Karolinastone]

"that sounds dumb" lol

[@gkubiski]

"fuck knows if thats in the same key or not, fuck it" LOL exactly how i feel about trap

[@keepitlo00]

Yay that sounds pretty cool. Now send it off to Cartoon Network so they can set it as background music while they show some pretty landscape with the word [adult swim] hidden some where. Yay

[@ronnietjikoeri9965]

nice big folder with "your kicks" every producer should use their own sounds and samples

[@user-ki8bm4ct2w]

yeah sorry i'd rather make music then sit there for hours mastering a kick drum j dilla sampled like fuck, never used "his own sounds and samples", and he still sounds like the best out there, so idk what you're on

[@neilnarcisse2867]

Jarrőd Barócsi the more original u are, the more you'll be respected

[@user-ki8bm4ct2w]

Neil Narcisse "j dilla sampled like fuck, never used "his own sounds and samples", and he still sounds like the best out there, so idk what you're on" not to mention he was well respected for his ability to chop up samples extremely well.

[@OfficialRedux]

yeah? take me through the process by which you make your own samples.

[@theofficialmuffincrc]

***** Using Vst's like Massive or Bassism, Layering/Chopping up other samples and processing them yourself. Pretty easy stuff

[@madahzbadzaiye4116]

where can I get my hands on that Thick riser? It's absolutely amazing!

[@patrickbooth8009]

Michael Amora program a sine saw, automate the pitch corse up +12 points over time, and make sure its with a long envelope featuring a short attack, with a really long release. Expand the signal with an exciter, or multiband compressor, and add some ambient white noise. #zombiepost

You're a goofball homie!!! xD i love your stuff man. your tutorials have helped me out a bunch

[@robtriton]

This video cracked me up! Pretty bad ass how efficient you were in just 10 minutes! Plus, from this video it gives the viewer a better sense of just how bad ass Ableton is working 'on the fly' ! Quickfast and I am sure once one becomes more familiar with it, it is just that, plus stability granted one has a great PC or Mac loaded to the "T" with fast ram, SSD drive, and great processing power! Cheers for the video!

[@christophercharleston2792]

ABLETON LIVE 9 SUITE question: PLEASE HELP WITH THIS PROBLEM: I want to work in ONLY arrangement view. I do not want to even really touch the session view. I make rap beats btw. My question is: HOW DO I OPEN UP THAT LITTLE MIDI EDITING CLIP SECTION, (the place that I can draw/click in my drums)(you know, the place you can select how many bars you want to work in, and it has the little keyboard on the side.) IN THE ARRANGEMENT VIEW? I understand that in session view, I can double click the "CLIP SLOT" thing, and it will open up in the bottom right area... but how can I open this in the arrangement view? I DO NOT WANT TO DO IT IN SESSION VIEW AND THEN RECORD IT IN. Please help! Thank you!!!! - Chris

[@MultiplierSounds]

Chris Charleston select a region in the arrangement view, then right-click/insert midi clip. then you'll see everything you need

[@jackidman]

Chris Charleston Select the midi clip and press shift+tab to alternate between instrument rack and piano roll.

[@jackidman]

Chris Charleston ........or you could just click on it in the bottom right corner.

[@diedforurwins]

Chris Charleston double click the colored section of the midi clip after creating it by selecting a zone, and clicking ctrl + shift + m

[@L9X]

haha lol

[@djblast101]

dude your videos make me crack up! Althought Idk if its intentional it does become informative. Either way keep it up!

[@kelbystriumph]

This video has had me rolling, dude. I think it's cuz I feel like I can relate. "That sounds stupid." or the even better "Spent way to fuckin long on that."

[@XeroBounds]

I just lol'd at all the dislikes by trap producers

[@DJDAMIAN72]

Hah hah interesting & kinda funny video but wack track... and where the hell are the snares, he forgot the snare & snare rolls! lol Oh & I don't remember hearing a TrapStyle track with the claps throughout the whole damn song! lol

[@northcoremusic]

Kudos to you for trying to do this spontaneously i.e. the "real" way. Many 'ten minute' groove videos you see online look like they're carefully rehearsed and therefore not true... Everyone should try the ten minute challenge occasionally. It can be inspiring. :-)

[@dujenwook2]

"That sounds dumb ... uhm, let's fucking move ..." most entertaining tutorial I've seen yet. Good show mate.

[@91splash]

you forgot the 'damn son' :(

[@MultiplierSounds]

[@lolmayonnaise]

Multiplier I don't understand how that's ironic

[@CLD9SOUND]

[@Luna]

what version of ableton are you on

[@MultiplierSounds]

9.something (the latest one)

[@Dontwatchme1]

+Multiplier turned out quite good, I was wondering if u could help me considering your vast supply of samples. I can't really buy any at the moment so if yes can u plz name me a few good kits or samp files for starting off with trap which is what I want to focus on. Anything u can see is good as I don't have the net on my laptop! (Have to transfer everything manually from phone so any thing would be appreciated) want to start back up this week, cheers man

+mogul d you arent a real producer if you think the rap trap youre thinking of and the elctronic dance trap arent 2 different and very real genres

[@KadeemLiburd]

[@Drcacawu]

[@Drcacawu]

a1beboHD Well its not crap, I like the preset, but there is no effort in it. Its too simple.

[@TacoZebraz]

Drcacawu Sometimes that's the best effort you can put in.
