Any day I wake up to new Red Means Recording music is a Very Good Day.

[@BigDeepz]

Especially on the OP-1

Alex Heflin red morning mean sky’s soaring

[@nadamuchu]

Holy sheet. I never thought I'd see a reference to 'The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time'!

[@StormBurnX]

You might be stressing out about this being messy or not up to par but this is exactly what I needed tonight: sixteen and a half minutes of something to pop in earbuds for, turn out the lights, and just let the flicker of my screen flash through closed eyes to was away the anxiety that’s been hovering around all day. So genuinely, thank you for the restful break. Things that seem like a failure to one person are still capable of being treasured by others.

[@josh-lewis]

It didn't feel or sound like a disaster to me at all. I don't have your ear, or your talent, but I love what you create. Be encouraged! 👏👏👏

[@Stiftoad]

This track reminded me that your music tends to have this sound thats somewhere between Nostalgia and Motivation. Looking back at our Past fondly but with a kind of sadnessv knowing youll never experience something quite like it. Though you quickly realise that feeling this way helps you push forward to create more of those memories youre fond of, even if they may be different. It could also just be that you just create absolute bangers that take you on a journey of chords and melodies with a solid rhytm which all tend to have your distinct sound.

[@nadamuchu]

All great artists have works they hate that are immensely loved by the masses. This is one of those works.

[@Stiftoad]

@@nadamuchu Wholeheartedly agree.

[@MoJoProfessional]

Cringe, you don't look back and be sad cause you can't experience stuff like it again. You look towards the future to have better experiences than the last

[@Stiftoad]

@@MoJoProfessional have you actually read my comment though? I said that the sadness is just at first my dude. Feelings are also like one of the most subjective things there is some really just are sad about that kinda stuff.

[@singer3188]

Good to see you didn't let what you felt was a bad session stop you from putting a finished track together. I feel like I speak for most of us here that it wasn't a bad session. This track is soothing and chill. Maybe not what you were hoping for but a great track none the less. I love your work Jeremy, Keep it up mate!

[@fargoflagrant7796]

i love this song this song ain't mine but it's pretty

[@Kidynamo123]

Jeremy: "I need additional cream" Me: "PASS THE GODDAM BUTTER"

[@nascarjake787]

"That was not very cash money" was so cash money

[@jared_seymour]

the sample sounds so much like boards of Canada

[@FourTetTrack]

Was thinking exactly the same!

[@ledjfou125]

Damn I wish my "Oh no I don't know what to make" days turned out as good xD

[@Seraj33]

Go Piratpartiet!

[@andyjones5840]

I really appreciate the way you share your frustrations and uncertainty in this video. As someone dabbling with music production it's really nice to watch someone who isn't just presenting an easy-breezy production process. Thanks for the great vid! :D

[@adammgolan]

You really take your audience on a journey. I don't like that you're self deprecating about something so beautiful.

[@CockatooDude]

As long as you don't take it too far, a bit of self deprecation makes you get better at what you do. As long as you keep it in the realm of constructive criticism.

[@samshrimpton407]

I’ll never be able to justify an OP-1 purchase, since they raised the price, but I’ll never get tired of watching Red Means Recording OP-1 vids.

[@Adrian-me3tg]

I have a spinniy chair in my office, and I just vegged out and spun on it as I listend to this song. SO CHILLLLLLL......

[@bobbyhalick]

I just wanted to make a comment that said that I've had this in my "watch later" playlist for literally a year, and every time I remove a video from that playlist it auto plays this video, and I'm SO GLAD I'M FINALLY WATCHING IT INTENTLY. It's so good, I fucked up, I should've watched it earlier.

[@kayy1621]

Love playing old SNES games with your tunes 😁💯💯 Awesome art!

[@nickedwires]

I normally don't ever comment on videos and just watch, but I honestly really enjoy your OP-1 videos. It's really fun to see you piece together a song and see how it works, especially with such a streamlined tool that is easy to understand for someone with little musical knowledge, but enough technical knowledge to start understanding. If it weren't for the fact the synth costed half my monthly paycheck, I'd probably have bought one already because of your videos and music. Either way, I know you said this session was a mess/trainwreck/disaster, but I think you killed it. As another creative person (a writer, someone please shoot me), I know all too well how much artists look down on their own work, but when the layman consumes it and goes "I'd never make something like this in 10 years even if I tried", which I think a lot when I see these videos, you're doing something right. I also listen to tons of music while writing for inspiration and I gotta say, your stuff hits a lot of the right spots for me.

[@iaial0]

I believe artists cannot be objective when creating art. That said, they can however judge later if they were right or not

[@iaial0]

@@nickedwires you make a good point. In fact, putting passion into your work is kinda separate from it being good or not

[@SHR3DD3Rx]

It feels pretty rough when someone’s “disaster” is bounds better than your “I love this!” Such a cool track, my dude!

[@stealthyhydra]

It's funny how one mans trainwreck is another mans... train... pulling... safely into the station? I loved this track.

[@dodell7360]

Man artists are so hard on themselves. Watched an interview with JRE and an actor yesterday about exactly the same thing. Props for pushing on even though you were sceptical, got to respect the process

[@stefanonegrini4675]

ambient crickets are the real game changer..lovo this work

[@darksentinel082]

i woke up in a pile of my own throw-up, and my girlfriend hasn't spoken to me since yesterday among other horrid thing i'm very glad an OP-1 vid gave me something to smile about today

[@BigDeepz]

Sorry to hear that, friend. Things always get better :)

[@nathanpas6743]

Same man. It's been a week. We need to stay strong !

[@notoriousshizzane2696]

I love how your "trainwreck" is better than 99% of music out there today. Keep on going brother, you inspire the hell out of me. Recently getting an OP-1 myself its awsome to see someone who can use it so expertly as yourself.

[@jerryinscoe1129]

I know nothing about making music, and yet I cannot stop watching your videos. So good...

[@wub5]

Cow means Cowcording

[@davids841]

I have watched Andrew Huang and other music youtubers for a while now, but you were the one who really inspired me to start producing and so I can never thank you enough,.

[@mikebuerger]

Man, having been there before, myself, I know exactly how you were feeling right around 9:40. Good for you for powering through...it's not easy. Personally, I love the final track!

[@solarapollo05]

This is amazing! Don’t beat your self up about this it’s one of the best yet! The best ideas are random ones

[@tisentovedo]

I have an entirely different workflow and I love how our boi Jeremy lays down his work #terrific

[@QJSkeletonking]

Nothing cures the depression like RMR jam videos

[@yawmanr]

Don’t think I didn’t see that jizzy vibes you threw in there. Nice.

[@portofly94]

I'm So stoked that I was born in the place where you live. Makes my heart swell with pride.

[@noahsinykin2156]

Honestly may be one of my favorites you've done. The woozy sound is just so relaxing and sounds so cool. Keep it up! I love this videos so much

[@pluckydono]

Nice track. This is so much better than quite a bit of main-stream media these days!

[@marcussmith8425]

Amazing production work as always. You are one of the most high quality youtubers I watch and I feel like this is what this platform should be about.

[@beautyler4339]

Dreamy Cream was wonderful wording and I'm definitely going to be using it in musical as well as non-musical contexts. You can't stop me!

[@CrisBlyth]

distaster ? no way man. :) also, I'm now realizing that having you working away, is simply the best workplace music accompaniment. I work so much better when I'm listening to you explore and work. This happened to me before, but I'm realizing that it's totally a thing. Therefore if you made like 15-30 of these videos per day, that would be greeeeaaaat. :)

[@MidlifeSynthesist]

It's always a good day when RMR uploads an OP 1 video! You're the reason I started a KZbin channel in the first place and I've found it's easy to get frustrated when things don't click, so it's reassuring to see that even you have your "bad days" and just keep going. Thank you for sharing this. Ps: I think even your so called "disaster session" is amazing 👏👏👏

[@ifaber68]

The number one with OP-1 ! Great track 😀👍

[@jkings454]

watching you go through your creative process is both really entertaining and also inspiring. love your work man, thank you for sharing it with us.

[@theherbalizer5145]

Dude, your cat's coffee table is dome topped. How's that gonna work? His coffee and skinning up board are gonna like fall off and there'll be such a mess 'n all..... it's just wrong man. Cool tune though :-)

[@AhrenBaderJarvis]

Feels very Royksopp-esque towards the end. I love it. 😍

[@bu11d0g000]

Sounded wonderful! Thanks for lending it to us to have a listen!

[@MattGreerMusic]

I saw once in a forum where someone said the triple black keys and 4 white keys look like a jumping spider and now I can't unsee it.

[@yugene-lee]

Oh damn this is fire. There was no trainwreck. I loved it all. Awesome work!

[@Furock265]

This reminds me so strongly of main theme for Little Big Planet, it's so relaxing and awesome! Thank you for this!

[@braydonaldridge6131]

honestly one of the best ones i've heard from you!

[@Fedor_Tkachev_Music]

I know what creative frustration feels like, but realistically this is a track with lots of good vibes, and you keep it interesting all the way, I didn't want to skip though it, and that it something.

[@jacco018]

"I love my City" I love this song. Tnx for creating these sounds. I really like the how-it's-made clips with the full version of the song ad the end.

[@MadComputerScientist]

The song is very fun and soothing, thank you for sharing. Hope you are doing well.

[@123happily]

Whilst everyone can have bad ideas, it takes someone really brave to broadcast them online to a dedicated fan base! Keep working and don’t stress it, sometimes the neurons just don’t line up and you feel trash. But in all honesty, still a boppin song!

[@menamorado16]

Keep doing what you do man, you’re truly an inspiration.

[@ReBrand417]

Another great video! I love these OP-1 videos

[@cubeuhhgaming5034]

Can't believe a tiny self piano was able to do all that incredible music got a share of the download link for the song awesome stuff man

[@LyricRosatti]

This was episode was a fun meandering journey. Very enjoyable.

[@BigDeepz]

You said this session wasnt your favorite but this is my fav OP-1 song you have made in a long time. I loved it.

[@TheMadsC]

Dude this turned out pretty damn good, considering you didn't really feel the session! I definitely think the different sections fit ghod together, and even transition in cool ways!

[@honestinsky]

Excellent video, thanks for posting, much appreciated. A+

[@donaldpriola1807]

Your use of the Microsoft logo/sample reminded me that Brian Eno composed the Win 95 startup sound. Good work if you can get it.

[@austinzollars]

glad to see you back at it brotha, have a wonderful day!

[@jordanray1537]

Honestly such a nice song! You always inspire me to get create some music.

[@dr.feelicks2051]

Puddin' us to shame, birth canal pain. Inspiring moments, despite self-disdain. Keep on keepin on.✌🔥

[@DirkRadloff]

The undisputed master of the OP-1

[@leetronix]

I just invented a new art of putting Jam on my Toast while boogieing to RMR toast n jam will never look the same again! 😃👍

[@SimonTheMagpie]

I have a treat for you today!

[@RedMeansRecording]

should i be concerned

[@SimonTheMagpie]

Of course not! (Yet) I still have that idea I told you about at NAMM that maybe should worry you a little 😅 But this is just a cute little treat! Go look hihi

[@sarcasticmaniac628]

🔥🔥🔥 Just hitting like doesn’t do this justice 🔥🔥🔥.

[@isaacsmith1653]

I swear I could pick your track blindfolded, you manage to explore dick new cool things while holding on to your own unique stink ♥️♥️♥️

[@generalstrike7187]

Loving the Groove Armada feel of this!

[@jamesdenney9653]

Well, you're doin' something right, at 9:02 you've got me cabbage patchin' in my chair.

[@picas256]

Great work. Sounds awessome.

[@Shade00a00]

this song is definitely a banger

[@mais5762]

it sounds awesome...great song as always Jeremy

[@modulargains5289]

I sold my OP-1 to afford some other gear and watching this is making me miss it :(

[@Dr.Anomaly]

As much as RMR may not have been happy with this track. It still came out alright in this dreamscape sort of way.

[@WHYZMAN_]

I actually think its sick with the different parts and change ups

[@owarindesu]

woah, this one is real good! might be one of my favourites from u actually!~

[@DoffThyFace]

Sucks that you had such a frustrating session. Still, though, it's nice to see you powering through it and finishing the track. I'll definitely be thinking about this next time I'm tempted to give up on something. It would be really cool to see a video about your creative process taking something frustrating and turning it into a finished product that sounds lovely. Take care of yourself ❤️

[@Stiftoad]

Cant stop staring at Knitio. i suspect he will haunt my dreams soon probably accompanied by this beautiful track. Which would make it 10 times more disturbing.

[@Cadesworth]

I listen to your music so much that I can remember that the chord progression in "My City" is the same one from the b section of "The Last of Summer"

[@BinauralBae]

Loved this groove

[@BackspinZX]

I do suppose I get why you were so frustrated making this track, but given how fun this was to watch and how well the final track came out, trust me when I can say your dislike of this track is unfounded and it's great. I love this a lot. One of my favorite OP-1 sessions so far, up there with Aquamarine and Azurite.

[@robertpennycook1936]

When your "train wreck session" pulls into station smoothly like a Japanese bullet train.

[@tuppawareAU]

So much work goes into your videos ! Always inspiring! If only get confused by that crazy American way of putting the month first in dates... what's with that (unrelated to your amazing work) :-P

[@TheCreateOutdoors]

Thanks for some mid day inspiration while I work on my channel relaunch Jeremy!

[@javierzubizarreta2933]

You're very talented, man.

[@marsrover001]

So many ideas, while I like the final product there were some cooler beats and ideas I wanted to see explored.

[@Westfalon]

Ooh, that bass sound has powerful Baba Is You vibes

[@aaarvag]

Freakin awesome. I love The Avalanches-vibe!

[@sunnymoon8161]

I really like this song! nice meds in it!

[@nalangda]

I listened to it 0.75 times speed without noticing it. Lofi hiphop it was. I realized my speed setting later so listened to it again as normal speed and it's another one.

[@Sarahbuildsstepsequencers]

Sounds like Boards of Canada, which is lovely!

[@Bopoproductions445]

This went from lofi hip hop to how its made music but in a good way

[@itsmemattt]

You're just so damn good with those dreamy cream pies! No need to be down on yourself.

[@Evergreen64]

I think the cat is learning to read the crystal ball. And one day he will leap off the couch and yell "Oh my God! It's Purrsday!" I'm sorry...

[@MrUlski]

Did you knit the thingy yourself? Update: it was good for me to watch this - so relaxing. The english spoken sample should have been French - part of the tune gives a French jazzy feeling

[@ScientificGentlemen]

Track BUMPS!

[@MarceloSouza-wo7ue]

05:50 describes pretty well my life with my Op-1. lol. Recording whole sections that doesnt fit with the other ones, so i end up starting a new one. lol

[@TheHumanHighlighter]

Beautiful as always.

[@matthewghere7765]

Love the track! Btw I find that when I miss a Lexarpo dose and I start to feel the withdrawal effects, taking half my dose helps the side effects. Then I just get back on my normal schedule. Hope this helps
