Hey, it's Sep from Unison. Today, we're kicking off the special Unison MIDI Wizard preview video series 🧙‍♂️
This is a full-on, 3-video training where I'll be sharing my brand new strategies for:
✅ Making hit melodies

1:54 Lil flex🤣 Your vids are helpfull dude keep going👍 do u mostly earn💸on streams from Spotify?. And if u could recommend some good streaming plattforms, that would be appreciated, thx a lot😀

[@keifferellison45]

How TF is that a flex? Lol

[@GothicOctopus]

“Are you having trouble with the most basic concepts of music, have no skill, but feel you should get to write/record/produce music anyways and want to be exploited by a bunch of arseholes with unoriginal midi packs so you can sounds like everyone else?!” Sod off

[@gerrardxavier]

Man spent 100 g on music school to have a remix up on trap city.

[@lucaszeh4922]

I bought ur Midi Chief Pack half a year ago. Wasnt using it to ofteb for my purpose bc i dont use Midi to much. It helped me Out sometimes to get the tension Relief Chord that is Missing in the end so i could record it in the guitar. I liked the Video a lot, but keep it a little bit shorter. Ty for the effort. Peace

[@venusssharman5922]

Excellent!!!

[@Unisonaudio]

Cheers, - Sep

[@cwcpants140]

To me, the second chord progression, while the 4 shorter chords are bad, the second longer chord is still great. Very uplifting still.

[@octave4854]

Thank you

[@tedgregersenvalasko2375]

Real music como from our souls and is reflected in synch with the tip of our fingers. That's why I play the Piano and the guitar... Otherwise the music sounds fake, robotic, "grooveless"... At least a very good laugh haha. That's why I LOVE RICK BEATO!

[@Unisonaudio]

Cool, -Sep

[@steventaylor1908]

Solid and inspiring

[@Unisonaudio]

Appreciate it, -Sep

[@keifferellison45]

Lol ok

[@ImehSmith]

Actually, the “bad” one does indeed have #1 emotion and #3 a “story” (which makes no since outside of some plain, to the point lyrics) So #1 and 3 are basically the same thing. Does it either get your pulse going, give you goose bumps, relax and soothe you, make you sad/scared, etc. So the bad one has a happy heavenly vibe. It’s all major sounding cords and sounds and I picture someone happily running and skipping in heaven on clouds….or maybe a funeral home ad. Or like you said, some ambient mood music.

[@rlhall17]

Unison would you make video on how to set the unison-midi-chord-pack-setup

[@mkaia47]

Great video. Incredible quality man. Youre awesome

[@Unisonaudio]

Thanks so much, -Sep

[@richardsonmedia9630]

name of the software used please? or any best software you would advise that works perfectly with the midi pack?

[@keifferellison45]

Any. DAW with midi support dude Any one of em

[@tacroy2]

This is fantastic and amazing tips! but in terms of user experience the first 7 minutes is mostly you just repeating yourself. You gotta hook me in, just like the beginning of a song 😊

[@Unisonaudio]

Alright sure noted, -Sep

[@SpeedMotionDesign]

Wow thank you so much that's really helpful you are great 😊

[@Unisonaudio]

No problem, glad you found it helpful, -Sep

[@ronieldavid1988]

Thank you very much for these tips, very helpful :) these keys are now the foundation of my compositions :)

[@keifferellison45]

And you shall sound like everyone else :)

[@theaassiim]

even though I can't afford your products this was one of the most helpful video I have watched on youtube so far.

[@user-qr2cp7mg4d]

Really Enjoyed this!

[@Unisonaudio]

Glad to hear :) - Sep

[@045cal]

Do what everyone else does .. just use loops

[@gammaorg3812]

one of the best music production video EVER

[@VaskanHard]

Good video man!!🔥

[@Unisonaudio]

Thanks man, -Sep

[@artandmotion]

A lot of work and pleasant.

[@Unisonaudio]

Cheers :)

[@mikeymax72]

I have good melody and chord progression but I get stuck with continuing on with my music I keep getting told I need a sastainable pedal for my keyboard coz It sounds cheap I'm not letting people hear what I'm playing

[@Unisonaudio]

If you adjust the velocity in your MIDI or use Mod Wheels in your synths, you can create a similar effect to a sustain pedal to make your melodies sound more natural/human, -Sep

[@mikeymax72]

@@Unisonaudio thank you for the advice wow I had know idea bless you 🙏

[@keifferellison45]

Or just get a sustain pedal and learn how to use it? They're like 30 bucks... Plus you know it's not "getting the effect" Why the fuck would you tell her modwheels?

[@InventorZahran]

Get a sustain pedal, and learn how to use it well in your playing. It will vastly expand the expressive possibilities of any keyboard instrument!

[@mikeymax72]

Thanks everyone for the advice bless 🙏

[@camodaze]

Nice midi pack. I didn’t like that you made me watch a video AFTER buying the chord pack before I could access it though.

[@keifferellison45]

Just share it everywhere lol

[@Sneakycat1971]

It seems like it's pretty good but The price is way too steep. People can just wait for other companies to make similar plugins at a fraction of the cost. I'm sure Captain Chords, Chord prism and Scaler are already going to work on it.

[@keifferellison45]

It's not a plugin. It's literally just midi files that are shifted from X to reflect a key. Dude maybe made 50 different things and just copy pasted to claim over 4000

[@kotahurt]

I read what was said on reddit

[@mycompiledthoughts]

Real question is can you use that big ass mix board lol

[@keifferellison45]

No. He's a digital guy, bet he doesn't know shit about analogue

[@jasminegold3005]

Was looking forward to watching the whole series but the second video is private :(

[@beatsxlucas8021]

I actually disagree with 15:40...ur completely ignoring intervals and it sounds to fake in my opinion. I would have interlaced them more so that it sounds like someone who plays piano actually played them in...

[@spirorips]

This is very unsettling. It’s a legitimate threat to the future of art. Sad.

[@keifferellison45]

Art died a while ago. The masses listen to what easy to digest or shake their ass too..few care about the actual music they listen to

[@JamesWid]

Is there not a plugin like on the ad? It’s just a class?

[@Unisonaudio]

This is the free training video series before the release of the plugin, the Unison MIDI Wizard be released July 28th. -Sep

[@andriarpagaus7781]

Powerplay studios? :)

[@Unisonaudio]

Paramount :), -Sep

[@frankmayer7960]

I just love to see an entrepreneur building a company from the ground up and make it flourish so, mucho respect to you for doing just that but the problem I have with Unison is excessive overexposure. Every single time I watch a vid, your ad(s) comes up. In a 2 to 3 hour Yt session, I can see your ads interrupting what I'm watching at least 6-7 times to a point where I'm beginning to despise your company....and that's on a daily basis.

[@marcelnehrig5272]

Oh man, i would really love to buy your stuff, because i think it is a really nice way to discover and explore new musical possibilities. But you website is so fucking opposite of trustworthy, i don't want to put any kind of personal information into it. i mean come on. how bad can a website be? it's only missing a red buzzer, and a strobo message, hat they delete the midi files made only for you, if you don't buy in 20 seconds, plus you get a free set of kitchen knives. I do not support these click bait philosophy. There is not even information about the company on the website instead of it belongs to the webmaster and you should contact [e-mail]. No Name, no Adress, not even a Country. My Scam bells are the only melody here.

[@keifferellison45]

Gimme your email ill send it to you lol

[@ImehSmith]

The bad melody DOES also trigger a minor, demanding, serious, dark emotion. I like the bad one full of minor chords better than the constant, predictable, minor and major sounding good melody. I know more about astro physics than music theory, but being an Aspie (on the autism spectrum) with a “savant” of being a “sound processor”, I know sounds. I basically go by my hearing, thus me needing to learn from music theory producer experts such as yourself. I don't understand how ppl the notes they do to make a simple chord. I know what I like, what I dislike, and what I like more, but I was never taugt by an actual musician (NOT a simple piano/music teacher who teaches kids sheet music, and how to play for the school Christmas show). Playing by numbers and understand the basic way to make chords was WAAAAAAAAY more effective for me than any annoying basic music lesson using sheet music.

[@mycompiledthoughts]

The beautiful bad midi isn’t even that bad...it just doesn’t fit the singers melody...it’s not even bad

[@MichaelCapellaDR]

Sub spanish please :(?

[@Unisonaudio]

Will take that into consideration for next time :)

[@MichaelCapellaDR]

@@Unisonaudio thank you much papi

[@saddammulsanne6891]

Finna pirate this shit

[@rubertdafairy8211]

Terrible it's products like this that make artist lazy and is killing music I'm as poor as they come and I'm a wannabe musician and I would never use this product.

[@ItsJoshuwa]

whats with the fkn commercials? damn...im tryin to lay down. ffs, go 10 seconds or some shit.

[@themoneyman1752]

Make it cheaper

[@williamsteffen2110]

Dude. I want to rip my ears off every time I hear these dipsh!ts try to sell their crap. Midi packs aren't a substitute for practice and hard work.

[@swanjaymusic]

Andrew Scheps is not Rick Rubin .. Every pro in the music industry knows who is who except you SETH.... You lost industry credits for not knowing who is who..... So who is really the armature on this one....
