Val, You have been my favorite artist for Years. Please never stop using the amazing musical gift you have. ❤

[@Gnurklesquimp2]

Even as someone who mostly has a pretty different taste in music (Big exceptions here and there, and I always enjoy listening), I LOVE his videos. KZbin is just such a crazy resource, all sorts of perspectives, and people like VR make that dream happen. I can only imagine what it'd be like if my favorite artist shared this much.

[@WhizPill]

agreed

[@Cybersader]

For real

[@KrisHaagensen]

i feel like am witnessing a wizard showing off how he makes his potions - more of this pls, webcam is totally fine, the content is great.

[@D1v3]

Hey man, you probably won’t read this, but thanks for giving the guy in the bedroom some relatable knowledge. You’re a genius man, thanks for helping me out.

[@Beatsbasteln]

after all these crazy resonator- and mudpie videos this was a nice reminder that you're just a human being with sometimes normal desires, like throwing a simple sound into a sampler. i could literally recommend this video to a beginner and it wouldn't be too confusing

I Have a handful of romplers and its genuinely incredible how the engineers back in the day achieved what they did. It gives you a love for samplers and what you can do with them, like faking many FX with just clever adsr and smart loop points.

[@ericksmith1818]

I don’t even make music but I absolutely love watching your videos and seeing how you make your awesome music! So excited to see the new body of work!!

Ok I know the next sample I'm gonna use for my drop

[@shiftymiata]

I don't do any kind of music production and this is absolutely blowing my mind, at 11:45 I legitimately was like "Oh my God"

[@aloysius_music]

that shave and a haircut intro - top tier

[@catelaofficial]

dunno why but that reminds me so much of old minecraft console winter season music really interesting and gorgeous!

[@norsoupdx]

lol wow that synth at 11:42 sounds so nice. I'm ready to watch 4 hours of nature footage while that synth plays random chords in the background

[@jackknife66]

spot on :D

[@moku7253]

For me, it sounds like the ambient stuff from aphex twin🤓

[@MilanTehVillain]

Around 12:05, it starts to remind me of the Donkey Kong Country soundtracks by David Wise.

thanks for your wisdom!! 💞👏🏼

The way you played your melodies in this video reminds me of Video game music. Especially the ones that were more freetime

Love you Val! So happy you're in a good creative space again!

[@lesserkey]

Man Im hype about all these uploads. keep grinding.

[@ROBbYZ_Music]

Hey VR Since you gotta make music, I'd be down for another "Making a track from scratch" episode ❤

[@alexcazet2694]

The fact that the 5th is also the 3:2 polyrhythm is magical to me.

[@henryisaway]

A cool fun fact he shared when he was featured in the XLNT Sound Podcast: He said he didn't fact check it - and neither have i - but he mentioned that if you speed sound frequencies up so that they become colour frequencies, notes in the same scale become complimentary colours as well. He also said that notes in the same scale have rhythmic relationships as demonstrated in this video. He joked about designing a table where the ratio of the table's dimensions and it's colours can be converted into a chord and a rhythm, iirc haha

[@drkastenbrot]

​@@henryisaway the part about colors is untrue and kinda nonsensical if you look at the difference in musical harmony and color theory, the two fields work entirely different. the latter part about rhythm i dont understand. what do you mean by rhythm in this context?

[@DoctorSoctopus]

@@drkastenbrot Watch this Adam Neely video to understand this concept: "Polyrhythms are Polypitch - live @ Ableton Loop, Berlin"

[@drkastenbrot]

@@DoctorSoctopus oh i see. its not surprising though, you can do this with any cyclic function and if the nodes of that functions are multiples of the logarithm of 1/12th of the fundamental it will give you a 12tet chord. you can apply the same idea to distortion and create a transfer function that turns any tone into a chord. as long as all frequencies scale with their relative factors intact it will remain a chord.

[@AnthonyRagus]

That's the harmonic series for ya, specifically the second and third harmonics. And ratios like this are the foundation of just-intonations.

[@zephyrx9764]

mmm that’s like 6 semitones down… subtle flex right there lmao

[@justinslosberg1909]

Amazingly educational. youre videos have been amazing lately, thank you!!

[@TGKawikachu]

you say you don't have much to show us, but i don't think you know how many of us would just watch you goof around and do whatever in ableton. it's so inspiring!

That intro was so thoughtful, and you're so down to earth man. Your music has always been next level, really, and it’s brought me so much joy over the years. So to me, I’ll wait however long I need to for more. Take your time brother

[@nolanroberts2710]

Thank you so much. You have such a gift for what you do, and your insight into mangling the low end is second to none. Really appreciate you. And you know what, I have watched every video i think in the webcam format and find it's more intimate, like Im learning from a friend showing me something. Keep doin' it this way please, fantastic stuff, mate. Cheers from Niagara Falls, Canada!

[@SeedtoStage]

As a fellow touring musician who also makes tutorials, I HAVE to use a webcam direct into screenflow for super fast editing or else I would never get anything uploaded.

[@huskyinabasket2460]

Val you are a master at Ableton. I have been using it a lot for over 5 years and you are still showing me stuff I have no idea this program could do

12:15 sounds like living mice - C418 (Minecraft soundtrack) except the first note here is down by one halfstep, its so funny when people accidentally write something that already exists

I actually did a record session with a single waterdrop sound and added EQ, reverb and Delay and fiddled a lot around with it and I got some very nice results, by playing around with the pitch, mulholland drive and pogo, stereo delay and reverb in the sample precomputed effects. I rendered most parts of it for later sounddesign purposes. :D
