Rick Beato is Losing his Mind

[@MXP250]

I was walking home from the store the other day. Rick stopped me and mentioned the tuning thing. I told, how am I supposed to know? I never heard the song.

[@remixedcat]

I never heard it either

[@TOTiDAU]

🤣

[@zaft164]

leave him be, he's just a man in search of analog warmth

[@Kevhuman]

So his weird kid only has relative pitch like most people and it's sent him into a vicarious mental groundhog loop. This is why I want Benn to put him in an arm bar.

[@N8oRMusic]

Rick's brain will explode if he ever listens to Aphex Twin

[@TheLolRoflTV]

when it is on purpose then its cool

[@lesynthlofi]

You think Rick’s never heard Richard D James? He probably knows him! 😃

[@N8oRMusic]

@@lesynthlofi i don't know. Ask him and let me know what he says

[@remixedcat]

Or my music that's hyper Techno stuff

[@lesynthlofi]

What some might fail to perceive is that Rick is on the same level as Aphex, just in another genre. Nothing musically experimental can make his brain explode, I assure you.

[@wurlitsyzer9810]

the whole family is gaslighting him :D

[@N8oRMusic]

This is a situation that happens to me all the time when mixing live bands. And it kills me hearing out of tune 808 bass lines. I don't understand how people can't hear when instruments are out of tune. The dissonance is ridiculously obvious.

[@Indi3R]

I am the same and only now just realizing that this skill is much more unique than I first thought.

[@zeberek.mp3]

well how would they know? they’ve never heard the song before.

[@remixedcat]

Some are intentionally detuned tho... Lotta synthwave/pop/trance etc has purposely detuned elements... beato here would have a nuclear meltdown

[@crnkmnky]

@@remixedcat Yeah, this rant just reminds me of how much Rick whined about that Jack Harlow song being "out of tune." FFS, it's a pitched-up sample of Cadillac Dale from 1995. I'm not hearing the problem.

[@JonManos]

Rick's video from yesterday is even more unhinged of him listening to like 6 different versions of a song til he finds one satisfactory enough to listen to

[@headbangerdnb]

He just means that one or more of the strings on the guitar is not in tune with the rest of the strings. He's not talking about standard tuning or some obscure tuning that was done on purpose. He simply means one of the strings is slightly off from where it's supposed to be.

[@CLaw-tb5gg]

If I ever actually manage to have kids, I ain't ever forcing or even implying them they should do shit or shaming them if they don't in terms of hobbies. Frankly it seems the fastest way of driving children away from something (and giving them anxiety problems about failing to live up to your expectations). Both my parents were artists but they were never like MAKE THE ART, it was just around me, and I saw them doing it, so I started doing it myself.

[@val_de_mez]

This is exactly my approach with my son. We got all these instruments around from time to time I ask him how does this chord sound to you? Happy, sad or going somewhere? Whether it's guita or piano he can tell the differences between major, minor and dominants without knowing he knows music theory 😂 love it I'm sure it's gonna be useful later ( or if not that's ok too) ❤

[@jonasharp3]

This is good sense, but as a kid who’s parents never encouraged him to do anything, the opposite can be pretty harmful as well. There’s a healthy balance.

[@afrosymphony8207]

Good lord, healthy relationship with your kid doesnt mean you have to hide your convictions from them. You have to create a space where they're also allowed to argue back and thats the most important thing. Shutting down arguments because you're always right is the worst thing. The idea that rick is somehow abusing his kid or sthng because of this is completely wild to me. Y'all should learn to just say you dnt engage with certain people's content and leave it at that, these moronic erratic character assassinations is completely uncalled for.

[@chocomalk]

He wasn't dissing autotune in this case but he is right, people expect or are used to hearing perfectly pitched vocals and perfect grid timing. And he is using the correct terminology for tuning as well so maybe he is crazy but not about that lol

[@joechapman8208]

Rick forgetting he walked into the kitchen to tell a story about Pat Metheny

[@codewizard58]

Are you old enough to remember wow and flutter ? ( Actual tape ) or got used to the scratches on your LPs and notice when they are not there : )

[@glitchunicorn]

Rick is making my head hurt

[@MiltonGrimshaw]

Too many nights on the bong

[@MRboomchongo]

Tuning is entirely about frequency ratios resulting in harmonic relationship between two or three notes physically vibrating through a medium. Pythagoras sates that “frequencies of harmonious sounds are related to whole number ratios, while dissonant sounds have frequencies with non-whole number ratios.” The exact notes of the scale won’t matter nearly as much as the relationship between them does. Standard tuning came about as an easy way for orchestras to stay in tune. Orchestral houses would have their own tuning forks and not all of them were tuned to 440 A. Tuning also has a layer of perception bias, ear training and bone transduction to our brains. Taking hallucinogenics can cause auditory warping.

[@remixedcat]

What's beatos favorite food??? TUNEa

[@reacherstudio]

When he is trying to expose other peoples stupidity but fails to see his rambling and poor communication skills lol

[@JeanWJoseph]

I totally understand. Actually just write about this in a Journal. Imagine teaching a student to play an instrument on an cheap instrument and there are just a handful notes that are out of tune…… that student is at rush of building a false sense of pitch that will persist well into their musical career.

[@phantomentertainment5629]

Mid life crisis

[@pthelo]

Damn. Dropping this right after his birthday! SAVAGE

[@Jamaicafunk]

I think the people he was talking about were mistaking 'Out of tune' with 'out of key'. That's why they were saying 'I've never heard the song before.'

[@jessmore9870]

If they'd never heard the song before, why would they think it was out of key? I think they're thinking that out of tune means being played incorrectly.

[@Jamaicafunk]

@@jessmore9870 They were saying that they WOULDN'T know the song was in a different key if they'd never heard it before. If I heard someone covering a Stevie Wonder song, I'd know if they took it down a whole step. It might sound off to me because I've heard the original.

[@jessmore9870]

@@Jamaicafunk Yeah, that makes sense.

[@PopLife]

I was a fan of Weaver especially for calling out scam artist producers, but it seems like he is just becoming another "Drama KZbinr". I'm not the biggest Beato fan by any means, but the man has had success in multiple fields. He may not be hip to new styles, but you will be there someday too Weaver. Talking shit about what the young new musicians you no longer understand are doing when you get to be 50. I hope you live to see the success Rick has had and can just laugh it off. Dueces.

[@theoumslah]

j love the running theme of covering musicians going crazy on this channel. We've seen unhinged Venus Theory, Unhinged Benn Jordan, and now unhinged Rick Beato. Almost like you could say music people are inherently insane.

[@lesynthlofi]

Rick’s not going crazy, he’s just freaked out. It’s happened to most people I know at one time or another over something they care about.

[@bloodyiceberg6827]

these people are not crazy, they are just bored in various degrees.

[@SuperLinuxAudioGuru]

[@fftunes]

I couldn't tell, i never heard the song ...

[@_zzclap]

fukumean's flute is not out of tune its just over processed with a lot of plugins and it gives that sound like it is out of tune but actually its not. flute has a lil slow vibrato that makes it a lil bit out of tune bcs the vibrato itself is slow but it is in tune technically hahahaha kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZK8eYWQl5tmiMUsi=ojwKKM7NZms3eQs3

[@allyourbasearebelongtous2191]

I guess I'm fucking insane as well. The story makes total sense to me. That in tune shit drives me crazy. In my mind he's totally correct. Idk. Btw... not even a big Beato fan.

from his facebook: 'I was born in 1962 and am 62 years old today. It's really hard to believe! Thank you all for the love and inspiration all these years.' this does not count as doxing right?

[@13opacus]

Jimi Hendrix, EVH and Soundgarden are not at different speeds they are tuned completely different to standard tuning.

[@markderv]

Sob, Dylan.

[@TheLolRoflTV]

LMAO i kinda get it why hes pissed, on the one hand microtonal stuff is pretty cool but hearing 808s and sub basses out of tune really kills the listening experience for me. accessibility in music production results in amateur mistakes, it is what it is, and if most people dont care or hear the difference, why even bother

He is saying out of tune and they are responding to out of THE tune... And they dont know the song 😂

[@plundaphonikz2570]

He is just going crazy because the younger generation are not as used to string instruments as we where and they don't hear the expression "out of tune " that often. It is really funny to watch actually, I remember when I was a kid and someone explained what is out of tune and how to observe something like that, that shit burnt itself into my mind forever.. now I hear sour shit everywhere ahahah! Edit: when that autotune argument came I spit my coffe out.. this guy loosing his shit AHAHAHHA :D

OLD MAN YELLS AT SOUNDCLOUD

[@Precisionetica]

He’s self admitted in one video that he would be dead broke if it wasn’t for KZbin. He wasn’t making cake off in the music game. That’s all you really need to know.🙃

[@shma1israel]

Rick is spot on about Autotune, though. If you use it as a vocal effect for its sound, fine (I guess), but producers use it (and Melodyne) on everything now to iron out all the small pitch inaccuracies that make voices sound human and unique, which will only encourage fatigue (because everything sounds too polished and perfect) and under-appreciation of *real* singers.

[@tristendo2755]

I think he is right but I have never heard that song before.

[@Indi3R]

I think he is surprised that a lot of people kind of have tin ears, or a kinder way to say it is. They dont have the kind of listening training many musicians do however I know from my own experience I can hear something is out of tune even when other people (not musicians or even some musicians) cant hear the same as i do. For me it was always natural/ but for many it isnt. I think I understand that now. I get what he is saying. The slightest thing out of tune for me is like fingernails on a chalkboard good bad or indifferent, I just assumed that most people can hear if something is flat or sharp or just completely out of the ballpark. Also keep in mind that something can be in tune but not in concert pitch, as long as the tuning of said instrument is "in tune with it's self", not necessarily concert pitch. I am a little shocked people are confused about what he is explaining?

[@bloodyiceberg6827]

The easiest way to explain to most people what out of tune sounds for a professional musician is to play them a clip of a non native speaker talk with an accent and 100 percent of them will pick it up instantly. But when you show them somebody non native speaking other unknown language with an accent non of them will notice it. Everybody (apart from people with medical conditions obviously) has the ability to distinguish pitches otherwise how would people talk or understand each other. Learning notes and chords is the same thing as learning an additional language you are forcing your brain to memorise certain pitches and sounds.

[@nevedofficial466]

maybe his brain is stuck on 440hz mode? Idk, I always liked shit a little dark anyways.

This video is just Rick having a mental breakdown over realizing he failed as a father in teaching music.

[@TheMack]

The kid: "Yeah I play the guitar, but I don't know what the words "in tune" or "out of tune" means. At all" - Ever used a TUNER before, Mr. Guitar Player? . That's the point of the video I guess.

[@baileywatts1304]

I'm gonna be real here. Dylan is 17 and his dad is getting up in his business about a concert he's trying to get ready for. I think Dylan is just fucking with Rick and he convinced his mom and sister to get in on it too. That is the sort of shit I would have done if I had a old school record producer dad giving me shit about my playing when I was a teenager. Hell, it's the sort of shit I do now, with pretending I don't know young folks slang and saying with absolute confidence that "rizz" is short for "the realest jizz" and then saying "the realest jizz" at any place my kid would say "rizz" when I am talking to him in front of his friends.

[@Norm-84]

Iv only just found your channel your crack up bro “Nowadays people are so atune to things being in-tune because of auto tune hahaha

[@dagamusik]

The fact he's a musician/producer in the "youtube teaching industry" and his whole family doesn't knows what out of tune means, says a lot. About himself?

I don't get the point of this WB2 video? I understand Rick has valid concerns about basic perception of tuning.

[@dffgffffffdddddddddd]

Im pretty sure they just ignored him because he talks too much and now he thinks it's "people" and goes back to auto tune

[@MrDoublebeats]

Ironically I get what he is saying and what weaver is saying. People not knowing what variations and swing is because we mostly work to a grid (rather pitch or time) in most modern music so it's less human feeling. Also, at some point you have to understand that technology is a tool not the art. How you use it is totally up to you, t pain uses auto tune as an effect not as a fix to not being able to sing.

[@Fwuzeem]

[@sidthetech_USA]

FFS... The context. Out of tune / not tuned VS playing out of tune The guitar is out of tune (strings). The D string is not tuned. VS The guitarist is playing out of tune. Playing the wrong notes on a guitar that is in tuned. Not not tuned [double negative implied]. 😂🤣 Rick Beato is a little hard to watch sometimes.

[@ObscenePlanet]

If you don't play a string instrument it probably doesn't make sense how off pitch one string would make. Other instruments song don't have that issue. I wouldn't know though. I've never heard the song.

[@YuzimaPhilip]

Most auto-tuned music sounds like garbage, and no one should feel an ounce of remorse for screaming that from a rooftop. Just because someone is older doesn't mean they don't have functioning eardrums. Between click tracks and autotune, a lot of folks have a warped view of what music should sound like.

[@merlinswaifu]

🤣🤣🤣

[@danieldashdesmond1349]

Beato asks why this , that and the other more exciting and adventurous types of song structures and chord progressions aren't being used by modern songwriters . I sent him numerous emails explaining that I'm doing all of those things and even breaking new ground as a writer ( I have a min of two DISTINCT versions of every song I write HE NEVER gets back to me , is this hypocritical or selfish or I don't know what ? He is part of the problem if he's not lifting a finger to expose unknown artists AT ALL who might be on to something

[@deyoungstar]

[@metalfatigue]

That awful feeling that you have run out of things to make videos about. You could make a video about quitting making videos but he's done that already.

[@gutterg0d]

Beato is kinda wrong IMO. You don't tune a guitar to itself, you tune it to the music you intend to play. Sure, it'll be a standard tuning most of the time, but that doesn't make every other tuning "out of tune", even if it happens to sound bad when you strum all the strings.

[@WilliamAshleyOnline]

yeah uh western music is a tradition of pitches, there are no actual pitches for sound without cultural relativism just frequencies that have been assigned pitches because people liked them but those pitches changed over time but have been relatively standard since wwII. Anway note difference is a mathematical relationship, but for guitar music there are current norms, but no there is no 100% correct pitch but there are tuners that probably tune to a440. Obviously if you are trying to play someone elses song you will probably aim to play the same frequencies as them. Nah pro guitarists actually tune up their guitars and change old strings etc.. there is actually some very detailed technical aspects to having your guitar ready for recording.
