Lol. Straightforward for him

This man has spoken the truth

He said straightforward not simple

[@dapianokid7728]

If you mess around with it and just do it in the spaces its like 1st try like a 12 yr old it looks hard but trust me itsy not

Right when i looked at this it was at 14:56

Bit of a long, uninteresting tangent: I used to use Medly all the time. It’s one of the apps that got me into making music on the go so this is nostalgic to me. It used to be my favorite pass time, I even bought and used all of the original instrument packs of each genre. However, I stopped using it because of all of their updates and reworks made the app glitchy, alongside them changing the sounds of certain instruments completely which janked up a lot of my old projects. They even introduced their own samples of SFX and vocals used in featured demo songs by talented artists, but weren’t implemented well in the app and had lots of bugs that for a long time went unresolved. Now, like all other higher quality mobile music apps, everything you’d want to utilize has a price, which is understandable. Don’t get me wrong, this app was really fun and I assume still is. But I just feel like Medly Labs trying to transform the app entirely really harmed this character that it had before. Great beats Levi, btw. It’s interesting to see all of the instruments that come in their new membership packs.

[@TornaitSuperBird]

I personally find Auxy better to use overall. There's curated drum and synth packs, from professional recording artists and studio engineers. Sure, it also has a subscription, but has higher quality instruments, along with some eq parameters as well.

[@quinnaho7429]

Ober yo same

[@jonfundy]

Ober. I had the exact same story.

[@Violant3]

you could try Auxy tho

[@drakefischer9002]

i have the same story

[@benmcgregor1748]

Instead of cutting out your finishing touches you should have a timelapse, it would be really cool

[@petyapevko2589]

That's actually a wonderful idea💡

[@klbby8741]

He needs to see comments like these with such good suggestions

[@Rogue_Panda_]

He does that so people cant just remake the exact song... if they dont see it then they dont know waht he put so they cant recreate the EXACT same beat. They can create a similar one but it isnt the same

[@ZaVoido]

Yes

[@di4mnd409]

Kai Hux actually its because recording that much footage would probs require a lot of storage, since he spends hours upon hours making this music

[@ThatDudePlant]

"This sounds garbage" What do you meaaaannn?!?!

[@brad3nnn]

13:33 all I can hear is the intro to "Get Lucky"

[@yphonichs]

**guitar and bass sounds**

[@onliee7836]

I only came to the comments to see someone say that. how perfect is it.

bruh this was released in september of 2017

Mr. Rewind 2 That’s what I thought about Garage Band, I guess it’s because I learned with Medly.

Someone showing Medly some love!! It’s a really fantastic app for making music in your spare time or for fun. I make music on it, but never to the complexity that you have in just a simple loop like this. Fantastic! (oh if anyone wants to I post the music I make so go looksie if you’d like)

Oh yeah I never thought about Incredibox

[@mistyh92]

The chord progression in the second beat reminded me a bit of Daft Punk’s song “Get Lucky”. I like it! BTW, since Christmas is coming in a few weeks, I have to ask, have you ever thought about making Christmas music?

[@ShiaLabeouf0]

YEEES! Same thing I thought. Get Lucky

they have the same chords. just on different notes and instruments.

[@Zychel_EX9]

Speaking from personal experience, Medly takes some getting used to with its controls, especially on mobile. But once you get the basics down, you can make some amazing songs.

[@estyess]

I have waited so long for a medly video

I did Medly. It is great. I didn't sign up for a pack though cause I'm a kid who is loving making music.

Medley is my first app I used in end 2015 that I started whit. Now I produce on Ableton and I need to say how much this app is important. It gave me love of music producing. Btw this app heck of evolved 😂

Yay you checked out my favorite music app lol! You would be suppressed how much you can do with just the free stuff. I never really bought anything and I’ve been able to make all the sounds I needed.

[@hazy6932]

@@atlaslovesedm yeah!

[@TC64X]

It's a little confusing at first, but you need to drag notes left to move and right to extend. That's why you were having most of your problems with the controls. There is a glitch though where you can't extend notes when they're on the very first beat, it kinda sucks.

[@JM-pm2qg]

Can anyone tell me how to make notes continuous through a measure. Like a new note starts every measure even though it’s the same note. How do I change that?

[@eweweweweew-e6o]

3:50 them drums remind me of UB40 - Don't Let It Pass You By or it could be UB40 - Sardonicus OR even UB40 - Present Arms

Oh my god.... I used to use this app in my old iPad (Yeah, the thicc ones). This give me nostalgia, but this one is starting to get more premium (ik its free). Before it wasn't. Also you can't install it in old versions of the ipad now days. I had fun while it lasted. Thank you! For making this video.

[@AzureOnyxscore]

Levi, you should try Auxy, you can use a library of drum samples while making your melodic instruments unique to how you like it. I highly recommend it
