Great video Steve! I had to cancel my membership to the academy for a while but I'll com back soon :) I really enjoyed it

[@Steven_Beddall]

No problem Guzer, you’re welcome back anytime and I appreciate your support man 🙏

Hey Steve, great to see you are back to normal. Loved the video.

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks Arko!!!

[@StefMeierMusic]

Great video Stevie! I like how you mentioned the vibe of the track is important and that certain ones sell more. I think one of the most important but tedious things as musicians is our ability to detach our personal feelings from the songs when it comes to commercializing our music. It’s something that I’ve definitely learned a lot from writing trailer music too. “We have to try and sell the trailer not my music”. So thanks for pointing that out for Lofi tracks because I have a natural tendency to lean towards a melancholic/sad vibe! Lol

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks for watching Stefano! I think melancholic vibes can work for licensing too they just might not get the same kind of action that the positive tunes get, that’s been my experience with it anyways. Cheers!

[@MIHAO]

great info! cheers

Amazing video, as always, Steve. I’m a huge fan of your Lofi vibe and I admittedly try to copy that when I’m writing my own music 😬. Thanks for showing us what’s under the hood of your wonderful tracks. May this new album bring you a lot of downloads and a nice income boost.

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks so much man! You’re welcome to copy my vibe anytime, but you don’t need to cuz you got plenty of your own my friend 👊

Thanks Mansij!

[@mikeeltonmusic]

Great video as always. I can honestly say you have been a big inspiration for me when it come to making my own Lofi tracks, hopefully one day I can be at your level. 🙏

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks so much Mike, it’s been great to hear your progress over time and you’re tracks lately are sounding awesome 👍

[@mikeeltonmusic]

@@Steven_Beddall thanks really appreciate it. I have to give a lot of credit to you and the community in the production music academy for the continued improvement in my tracks. 👍

[@andreasfranzmann9634]

Hey Steve, Lofi Hiphop is absolutely not my genre but these are the kinds of videos we all long for. Opening sessions and showing stuff is rare but helpful! Just great man, thanks so much! Cheers, Andy

[@Steven_Beddall]

Thanks for watching Andy! I know it’s not everyone’s favourite subject but I love talking about lofi haha, just fun to write it and mess with sounds 😊

[@frodo3556]

Awesome Video Steve! I think this made the distinction between "Study Beats" and licensable LoFi a bit easier for me, which is something that always held me back from writing this kind of music for Libraries! Also I think I'll give Arcade a try 🧐

[@Steven_Beddall]

Nice, def give Arcade a spin, it’s fun to use!

Do you have videos on how to set up templates for Lofi?

[@Steven_Beddall]

Not yet but that's a great idea, thanks!

[@el-bov8034]

Interestign to watch a few of your track breakdowns and note you don't seem to use a main template. Are you fresh-starting everyproject or do you have some templates fixed for specific genres. Also, guessing you're using audio for the drums (bounced down from MIDI) to allow for easy processing of each element. Or is it some other reason. I know it's an older video, so doubt you'll get to see the comment. but thought it was worth a try. Thanks for all the great info :)

[@Immanuel11.11]

Do have video on how to set your template for logo ?

[@noodlessoul8356]

What's the DAW? Is it Logic?

[@Steven_Beddall]

Yep 👍

[@BellsCuriosityShop]

Do you use a mute on the bass or was it just dampening with the hand(s)?

[@Steven_Beddall]

Dampening w hands 😊

[@777wisdom7]

Not so secret is right and you should credit which KZbin content creators put YOU on to those

[@Armadillo312]

I joined KVR audio in 2005, and we have been discussing 1000s plugins there since. You think the world evolves around a handful of KZbin influencers? Please.

[@777wisdom7]

@@Armadillo312 Its not that serious sister

[@lukather1]

Love the videos ! I was wondering if your course is suitable for a new producer been Logic for 4-5 years and want to produce my own music to play live in a band situation - does the course lend itself to this ? Can I join and have a look around and see if it’s suitable ? ❤️😎❤️😎
