[@noverrr4508]

Don't adjust velocity randomly. Professional Piano players don't play dynamics at random, they play musically and with feeling. Although feeling is hard to recreate in midi drawing, visualise the push and pull of dynamics and phrasing and you can alter the velocities accordingly.

[@crypticlol]

I generally adjust the velocity manually It's more exhausting but it's better and feels closer when I play piano

[@Itsalways6ix]

Thank you !! Random does not equal realistic !

[@YoutubeUserrr-u3z]

Yea, piano players dont play dynamics randomly, but they also can't play with the same pressure on each note so they don't sound at the same volume

I adjust it manually. People who play the instrument live don’t do velocities just randomly. If you want to sound real without actually playing it, you have to just put in the time.

[@dashua1735]

Yeah, people who are really good don't play random velocities... I'm not very good, so my velocities tend to be a little random when playing the piano

[@TamWam_]

same, even when I plug in an actual midi keyboard I adjust it afterwards to make it perfect

[@George_vv]

Not gonna lie, industry producers actually just get really good at playing keyboard. Decent tip for people who draw in midi though although the strum thing would just be better and more dynamic if you moved the notes by hand.

[@RogueGMR]

They feel less static but a little bit muffled

[@JD-bx7ob]

Randomize is fucking wild😂😂😂

[@labi_me]

I don't do it, I simply adjust every note by myself, or just record humanly yourself.

[@mrseenyousomewhere888]

Same I tried it. But the thing is i get frustrated after a while and lost my motivation. How to fix that?

[@gaopinghu7332]

​@@mrseenyousomewhere888 by not giving up?

[@JnN-ql6tk]

@@mrseenyousomewhere888 it's practice. You can't play something? Slow it down until you can play it with no flaws and then speed it up. You will apprehend things from a slow-fast approach faster than those who keep repeating - and as a result internalizing - mistakes. Orrr maybe you weren't talking about physically recording, and I misread your reply lol

[@BrokenG-String]

​@@mrseenyousomewhere888i struggled with the same thing. Here's some tricks I found to help me get the timing/rhythm down. 1) If you can sing/hum the melody/harmony then record your voice to a metronome then paste that audio alongside your midi clip and try lining up the midi notes with the transients of your voice clip. 2) Set your session bpm to half the speed when recording a faster section 3) when trying to get a rhythm down especially within a melody pick any note on the keyboard and press down whenever a note is to be played, disregarding the actual pitch. Then go back within the midi editor and use your mouse to change the same 1 note to the correct pitch, one note at a time. Hope this helps. Lemme know if my explanations don't make sense.

Why would they need to play an instrument tho ?

[@them0stanoying-500]

@@201hours8because the dude in the video is basically trying to emulate someone actually playing the instrument by making it sound “human” with different velocities and timing that is slightly off.

[@alessandra2855]

maybe someone just doesnt have the financial conditions to buy one :)

[@papertoymonsters2748]

Also if you write anything more complicated than some chords and 8th notes manually adjusted velocity with intention in each note is an absolute must

[@errornamenotfound604]

it's truly hilarious how much effort this is as opposed to simply having someone actually play it

[@JASPERTUTORIALS]

I mean I did a tutorial on it in less than 60 seconds, and in practice it takes a quarter of that time. That's 15 seconds, not much effort... especially not a "hilarious" amount of effort

[@skjorta1984]

please highlight the melody by having it slightly louder

[@fingolfinmorgoth5511]

If you want a good melodie than don't randomise, adjust the volume yourself or record yourself: for example piano mostly has louder high notes of the chords and ofc the general chord structure with root and fifth being the loudest

[@furioustester4056]

Yeah, they sound equally as good, its the black and white that gives people the thought that the one with colour is better. The first one still sounds good, and with the right music, it can fit just as perfectly

[@Amber2D]

this is used to make your music not to sound robotic, and feeling like a person played it live.

[@kaiirosarchive]

Jasper a young goat 🫂🐺

[@ShayerSUtsho]

I usually just imagine the piano notes being two different hands, and offset the timing accordingly (leftmost finger to rightmost finger on each hand). As for the velocity, I usually make the notes quiteter the more dissonant an interval they make with the root of the chord (unless there's a specific note I want to accentuate and emphasize). Haven't really experimented with the multiplier thing you mentioned - sounded kinda like dampening to me. Gotta fiddle around with that a little. Commented this cuz I saw a bunch of comments about non-random adjustment, and I figured I'd put in my two cents.

[@Malikforever]

This absolutely works

[@yirmiuc6107]

Not every vst/bank has different articulations on different velocities tho. Your sound clearly got softer but it could be the same harsh sound but quiter depending on the vst used

[@ruanraphaels]

Half time does a great job too!

[@uniixxofficial]

don't forget that before randomizing time and velocity that it will be band-pass filtered

Sounds for Singy for the second one the first one feels more pronounced and makes me wanna rap on it more

[@bananajor]

I like the use of randomization but when it come to piano I often do the velocity changing manually as I can control the feeling the notes have.

I think there is more than that done to the “after” melody It almost sounds like a different sound

@@emberheat990 okay let me put it this way, because maybe I wasn’t being clear. The adjusted version sounds 10x better, if you can’t hear that then music production simply isn’t for you. The first version sounds harsh, too bright and generally horrible.

@@JASPERTUTORIALS whether or not music production is for me, I'm entitled to an opinion. You are as well, but it's ridiculous for you to state an opinion as objective fact when it just isn't.

@@emberheat990 it’s objective in the sense of what artists want. I teach my viewers how to make sales, and it’s objectively true to say that the adjusted version will sell better

[@Vegan_Kebab_In_My_Hand]

Just randomising the note velocity will not give you professional results. There is some variance of course which I get this is the idea of randomising, but the professional approach is to be in control of the dynamics. However, you can first randomise as a starting point and then tweak the velocity if you wish. (That is not to say you can't just randomise if manual adjustment is too much for you and you can't play a midi keyboard well enough, but it's ill-advised to suggest that will yield professional results.)
