How to Make Your Tracks Not Boring | You Suck at Producing #45

[@Frobbl]

Rare non-meme comment: Seriously the biggest lesson to learn when it comes to creating energy in a track is to learn to take things AWAY for a bar or something before reintroducing them again. Play around taking things away, don't keep adding more and more. That won't work in most genres.

Underbelly's vid on silence has a few tips and wonderful insight on this. Creating silence and space right before an impactful sound will make its arrival more exciting.

[@ientertainmyself5676]

I love the preface: Rare non-meme comment. Immediately made me think it was gonna be a meme🤣 but seriously you preach so much truth!

[@Kalaxian80animations]

I honestly have so much respect for you man, its just rare to see people being a bit serious for once, congrats man :,)

[@RosentwigMusic]

I dont know why I never thought about making 2 or more loops as the meat and potato of the track, but now I do, thanks Underbelly!

Copying scenes (cmnd d) and then adjusting the copy is a great way to experiment with transitions. You can also cmnd-d on midi clips, then double click the new clip to bring it up in the editor & adjust notes, add new ones, etc. to experiment with changing up hits, lengths, etc. while still staying in time. A great time saver.

[@DeejayRach0]

Thank you!!!!!!!

[@KdnZa]

This channel seriously makes me giggle like no other. IDK how you stay funny and informative at the same time, but keep it up!

[@Raphael-fi8hd]

I always find myself to try to inhale at the exact moment you do, it creates a beautiful under belly inhale chorus

[@kevinkopec9816]

That's more than the greatest 4 bars my guy.

Atleast it's not boring in the DISCOOOOOOOOOOOORD ;)

[@RedDegree]

The ass loops. My kidneys are hurting, that's the hardest I've laughed from this series.

[@user-en1oc8xn8q]

i hope people realize how golden this advice is...

[@emmettdja]

I am a litteral ass-ass loop generator. this is so relatable

[@michaeljames87]

This video was like a comedy sketch! I feel like I’m being talked down to, but I like it hahahaahahahahahahaa

[@grantechols6621]

lmaooo this is hilarious, especially since he basically said just to make 8 bars and then you have an entire song

[@ELCHimoiX1]

Dude, you are amazing.

[@Monster-vh2hx]

This guy is gold

[@silasfox]

man. you're just great.

[@djvoid1]

2:38 was where the new shit was born

[@AvaleriaRecords]

This advice is what I thought up yesterday! Don't make it too much at the first place you need to add one by one layer 😊

[@jinzo664]

Is there a full track of your two loops? They are amazing

Love this guy😭❤️

[@justinbeck4197]

Very good advice for ten-year-old producers they can keep with them all their lives.

[@shaolininc]

You make learning fun lol

[@edford8376]

The second ass loop is always a pain in the ass. Very good video's BTW. And funny if a little unnerving.

[@mattguitar91]

Can you post the song in its entirety? Or the two loops?

[@floorpuncher3280]

I usually make a lead for 16 bars then add something new every 4 or 8 bars.

[@guycohen14]

Wait...after watching all of these tutorials, do I still suck at producing?

[@psydyl]

god you're seedy I love it

[@normalperson1994]

Used the same drum loops as the one in sing about me im dying of thirst by kendrick

[@saidyburch3341]

YO I am so sorry if this is stated somewhere already, but what software is being used here?

[@benbenben123ben]

I really like the track at first but then it kept going. 😂 Your videos are so freaking funny. So, I have an issue. I don’t use loops! I play all my instruments... I guess I can still use the ideas you shared. Unfortunately, it’s limited by my understanding and ability in music.

[@seiaseia10]

please whats is the name of the final track??? it's so good!! is it on soundcloud???

[@jrsgarageandshop]

I was laughing so hard when the intro and his voice was boring

Hey guys, do you have any other tips or videos for making better arrangements?

[@im_Spade_]

3:29 I also came

[@MrZasori]

This ass’s loop are really funny 😂

[@coen8531]

What studio monitors should i get? Yamaha hs5 or JBL Lsr305? Or maybe other speakers in that pricerange?

[@ju4494]

Coen T i have Hs5 for over a year now there great bro try em out

[@coen8531]

Juan Vazquez okay man, the only problem with hs5’s is that many people say they lack low freq.. I dont want to spend 400€ for a subwoofer you know😝 What are your thoughts about the low freq? I also can save some extra money for the hs7’s if needed.

[@inodimusic]

JBL for sure! I have them for half a year now, they sounds amazing! and the low end is really good!

[@inodimusic]

jbl is much more detailed than krk rockit's and have much more flat frequency response then yamaha's

[@coen8531]

Stanislav Kulakovskiy ive got the presonus eris 4.5 now and im very happy with those guys. They sound flat, have enough bass reponse and got easy controlls on the front side.

[@PrivateRyker123]

You're kinda like the audio production Bob Ross

[@pedrocatoira2695]

[@albertoromero3431]

Do you have an album, Underbelly?

[@cehussey]

All those ASS loops together sounded like the experimental band, Praxis. One thing I'll add that I wish producers would do more of: key changes. Too often songs, these days, stay stuck in the home key. Also, tonic minor to submediant major (or vice versa) is done to death, both in pop music and movie/TV sound tracks. It's become a welcome surprise, when a song doesn't use that overused chord sequence.

[@Noone-of-your-Business]

I agree: you suck at producing. Try sidechain compression for your voiceover to duck away the music next time. Seriously, though: I laughed too hard to express in emojis in this video not to give you no like on this video. Ramble on, man! Ramble on!
