Did anyone else have an issue with accessing this video for the last 2 days? Also, will this affect who is eligible for the giveaway? I tried to comment on the video when it was first posted 2 days ago, but it was set to private shortly afterwards and it didn’t become public again until I was finally able to post my comment just now.

PIEXCES funny and original

[@solomonramsa]

You forgot the Yoyyy Yoyyy sounds too

[@dg20038]

Yall need to get SeamlessR on cymatics

[@greedokenobi3855]

Funny you mention that! The first time I’ve saw Steven’s face and heard about Cymatics was on SeamlessR’s channel! And although I was already familiar with VR’s music already the very first time I actually saw Virtual’s face was also in a SeamlessLive stream! They both came a long way!

[@headphonezmusic1727]

Yes

[@dizzlermusic]

As a music producer, watching these podcasts with producers and musicians is the best thing ever. Theres nothing more fun to watch to be honest :D

[@silentspaceship]

If I could ask anything, it would be Where VR got this hoodie

[@Brandonheat1]

ANYONE KNOW???

[@perhapswimliwom8162]

he probably got it when he was with his fiance in japan

[@fraxz88]

That's funny I looked for it 5 minutes into the video.

[@doseddubs9842]

seriously we need answers!

[@colebaltazar1696]

My favorite part was at 39:00 when VR talked about how he actually brought his whole desktop setup to play his first show

[@sebastianlagundzija8001]

Next on the show: NASKO!

[@Detura]

Sebastian Lagundžija please yes

[@eckhartmaister4404]

Please

[@christiantaylor1495]

NASKO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@Defalt_]

PANDA EYES Please

[@Defalt_]

NASKO🔥

[@MKROOFFICIAL]

Oh man I love how technical and in depth he talks about synthesizers and stuff. I’d love to have a conversation and geek out with him

[@rubik3511]

MKROOFFICIAL VR is so much more mature than the host (who believes he’s Joe Rogan) lol

[@SandeepKumar-eb2bq]

Next SKRILLEX please 🙏 by the way this is awesome 🔥

[@SunnyzPC]

Skrillex don't even do big interviews, he wouldn't come on this podcast, atleast for now.

[@VHAMI]

Am...that's hard

[@lordleo9047]

From what I understand he's a bit of a hermit and doesn't like talking much

[@anonymanonym6472]

Not gonna happen

[@whysocold7047]

my favorite part of the show is 0:00 - 1:21:37 I listened to these two cool guys for an hour with interest )

[@StiwieMayday]

I love how you can totally tell that VR watches Mr.Bill content.

[@marisabi3295]

respect the drip VR be wearing.

[@Moon-xp4ek]

*VR:* _"yea so this is something really personal, also here's a really niche thing i do while producing.."_ *Cymatics:* _"yeah yeah cool, so i'm fuckin dope at smash. like rlly good idk"_

[@chaoszero926]

I really like 3:18 when Virtual Riot talks about his musical upbringing at a young age (on top of his fascination with engineering) and the significant role it plays in creating songs that are well thought out and make sense musically even though he primarily makes dubstep, which often emphasizes and prioritizes the technical aspects of music production like sound design. It’s a great reminder that, in most musical genres and styles, the key to making great music that connects with people and has long-term value in the music industry is by getting good at creating and finishing fully realized songs (no matter how good you get at music production, marketing/branding or anything else related to the music industry), which means learning music theory and composition (as well as at least one instrument like the piano if necessary). Virtual Riot is a very talented producer and sound designer and I like some of his songs, so I’m glad I got find out more about him. Another great Cymatics Show podcast episode!

[@williamrauscher4277]

I've never clicked on a video faster in my life

[@NRTKDNB]

YOur comment is original like Darude Sandstorm Comment from 2010

[@abelgarcia1342]

59:04 I liked the conversation about gaming a bunch. Haha I would have never known that VR was a gamer. It's so cool!

[@moon4lord]

11:28 Skrillex logo in Minecraft xdddd

[@OMNIWAV]

And here we are 3 years later studio time is back!

[@konradsikorski1646]

18:00 "yeah, ganz... ganz cool" haha

[@hushko]

20:20 i love skrillex

[@frvmeprfct]

12:35 is my favorite part because this talks about his road to sound design, and it is real interesting how Virtual Riot does his sound design. Btw I subscribed lol

[@eddyj.5269]

At 32:00 when he's talking about the broken rail and the confused security 😂

[@HgeanKidNebula]

I agree, this part had me laughing out loud

[@valentin_boes]

Thank you for this interview! It always motivates me, when someone I look up to talks about how everything started - and it just reminds me of my situation now.

[@MattMakesMusic]

Fire episode!!! The greatest sound designer EVER!! feel like we were missing out not having Drew on this one tho, to really dive deep on those heavy engineering questions.

[@spencert94]

33:18 Internet 2.0 was in Baltimore lmao I was there and dancing on the stage lol. That was also one of my favorite shows i've been to. It's sick that stood out as a memorable show to him as well.

[@ludwigschmidt4133]

59:10 when he said he played Games like Portal. Gosh love the sarcastic humor of it!

[@Aero_TV]

1:08:01 Loved the creative ways to sample literally ANYTHING, even in video games ! :)

[@AmanBansil]

VR is so awesome. Thanks for this interview Steven. Hope you liked the songs I handed u on USB in LA 🤘

[@MrLOL5322]

6:20 really resonate with nothing stimulating your senses. I don't have much exciting happening with my life living in a busy city and working a boring job but going home and just messing around with Ableton and making mixes with my favorite dubstep songs is the one thing that gets me going. One day I really wanna get good at making music and maybe make it big but I just wanna have fun with it.

[@EvoDanceOfficial]

10:00 when he talks about idols. thats the first Virtual Riot song i ever heard and i fell in love

[@aswathyramkumar]

Omg! Virtual Riot on Cymatics Show!

[@MrSlate]

VR is one of my biggest inspirations. I always knew he was classically trained and I've seen him as an internet icon, but it's just so amazing to see his personality. I need a backstage pass XD

[@ThatOneGuy138]

Was at both Massive and him supporting excisions tour, crazy experience!!!

[@asymmetrickmusic]

39:04 when VR talks about his first ever show and that he brought his tower PC cause he didn't have a laptop yet

[@joshinco1461]

Anyone know what happened to the recent Cymatics VR makes a song from start to finish video? Is it coming back? :D

[@grawlix2997]

I sure hope so

[@Mattrixx]

Favorite part is Literally all the time you guys are talking about video games 😂 sounded like a normal conversation 1:08:00

[@dafingaz]

40:00 use what you got to do what you need. Lol. That trackpad show!

[@nathanielstella]

My favorite part was the discussion about school and how going to production school impacted Virtual Riot. This touched base with me since I am currently in a production school/program 51:01

[@Joelthinker]

*The godman himself speaks Cymatics: yeah that's crazy.. *Repeat for the entirety of this interview

[@switchfade_music6139]

Hearing all the extensive musical background he's had. Super intensive, but got him to where he is today!

[@ABunnyVTuber]

VR is such a nerd, this was such a fun interview

[@greedokenobi3855]

One of the dopest interviews so far! Been following both y’all careers since way back and you guys both came a long way! Funny thing is I’ve seen both your faces for the very first time on SeamlessR’s channel. Peace fellas.

[@laxer1207]

I am eternally grateful for you guys for doing this interview. God bless

[@donnyforgione6724]

The entire episode was great you guys, I can't even pick out a favorite part. Overall the most interesting part was to hear Virtual Riots back ground and where he started.

[@JonStar]

I love the part he says the craziest guys hes been in a studio with was Skrillex. Also about the new Spicy riddim drums! Can't wait for that. Hearing about his past experiences as a organ player, also his first time playing, so funny hahah. Bringing his big ass computer to play, I cant picture it right now in my mind lol. Anyways, I've been waiting for this podcast, one of the best so far. Can't wait for Eliminate on the show too. So much inspiration!!!

[@Miszor420]

Great interview!!! waiting for more

[@herxdnb3894]

Nice one. Loved the whole show, but especially enjoyed his backstory on sound design, around 12:40 :)

[@Ritorikal]

oh shit i havent even watched this fully yet and im satisfied with how this episode turned out!

[@0Human1]

Fave Moment is when I saw the notification that VR was being interviewed. 100% made my day. 0:00

[@arkath5458]

18:48 : "When I go to eat, I always watch youtube or something" Lol that's me right now

[@polysaw]

loved the part around 1:13:30 where they talk about the sound design in overwatch!!

[@viertoncrap]

Oh! Thank God! I thought you were a gacha!!!

[@freanklee4782]

I remember the "diamond eyes"prat lol

[@mizan4209]

VR wearing that hoodie...a man of culture I see XD

[@xesik77]

Gaming MIZ what hoodie is that

[@mizan4209]

Ahegao face but only the eyes were shown

[@TENMAJKL]

I like that part with making samples from scratch.

[@InterDaftCC55]

WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VIDEO WHERE HE MADE A TUNE FROM SCRATCH

[@ABunnyVTuber]

21:36 this 1000% percent. Split your studio time up, when you're songwriting, you want to be able to just get that idea out in a state of flow without interruptions, then you can go back and get nitty-gritty with sound design and mixing

[@joelk03]

This has been something everyone wanted for so long! Thank you so much!

[@MrTalJacob]

1:01:07 - Whooow you too playing Starcraft ohh yeaa! Definitely my favorite part!

[@AceLeach]

My favorite part was definitely where VR talks about how he researched how the 808 worked to make a hi-hat, and recreated it with FM synthesis making an open high hat. like 25 mins in

[@CapitalCapacity]

5:00 with the organ certification is pretty cool

[@omnicorum]

41:07. I'm probably gonna actually try this advice. It seems like a really good idea and I don't think I've ever heard of someone doing that. Who knows I could be toooooootally wrong.

[@champaklalgada5110]

05:09 Three year for a organ damn...

[@georgetulipana8136]

Organ is freaking HARD. take it from me, You have to use not only your hands but also your feet, add that to 3+ keyboards and over 200+ stops and you've got an instrument that's, ahh. difficult to play.

[@suddhalaksana1411]

No wonder that the 17 age VR on his first video was like a pro pianist

[@jochosmith]

47:21 This sounds like something one could easily do with a fruity peak controller XD. But cool idea, thanks for the inspiration :)

[@chriskalbacher5838]

Take a shot for every time Steven says dude 😂

[@chriskalbacher5838]

Favorite moment by far is when Virtual Riot makes that noise @1:21:04 dreading doing a timed cook up 🤣

[@PackOfWolves928]

the conversation about the idea of a song at 23:00 is my favorite for sure!!! oolaciles older music always sounded soooo insane but FELT chaotic and disorganized for me.

[@LeateqOfficial]

Yes !!!! I’ve been waiting for this podcast Thank you guys 🙏

[@joaquinreyna4866]

My favorite part is 0:00 to 1:21:37 because he is amazing and ive wanted to see this for so long.

[@grawlix2997]

Why was the video of VR making a song from scratch taken down?

[@wesleyleigh4063]

Man, that College he went to is insane. Basically the government is funding people to become musicians. In my country Australia they've started to teach Music Production units at universities, but there is no specific college or even Degree for it. We do have SAE, which is a private College but it costs something like 50k for a three year degree.

[@bigdupolas_guppus]

virtual riot wearin thos sick glasses

[@dafingaz]

44:00 you guys should check out the iLoud speakers. Very portable and good range.

[@FreeD00M]

59:00 Damn dude is a hardcore gamer, too. BTW heard your productiopn years ago, cause I knew your cousin and she introduced me to your music ;-)

[@mememan2428]

the best part about this was the gaming section at the end lol. would love to see more VR content :)

[@ZefParisoto]

34:01 wtf he like freezes completely for a moment haha :D

[@anthonycladoosby2159]

The captions be like "vIrTUal RobErT"

[@Trentcast]

Love the content you guys have been putting out lately, thank you

[@apfelkuchen4672]

1:12:20 love this :D By saying one shouldn't listen to this he just made it more interesting :D

[@JjVa20]

Love this guy! We should have Extra Terra in the show too

[@meismochan]

VR und sein Ahegao-pulli. Cool

[@planetpless]

I’m definitely copping the VST when y’all drop it!

[@DJDELTIX]

Virtual Riot is the one artist that if I met I'd probably faint, man has taught me everything I know with music because of his tutorials 😂

[@ABunnyVTuber]

16:44 shout out to Andrew Huang. If you could get him on as a guest it would be awesome, especially with how he's killing it on KZbin

[@masy7894]

Yeah

[@TheLoner]

49:50 definitely....and all the stuff about references from other tracks and matching eq's n stuff cause that is where my biggest problem sits

[@user-xz7dy6jo1u]

Glad you guys finally had him on Whole thing was solid

[@xrenanperesx2857]

Dude the gaming part is always spicy XDDD best part of course

[@shardsofmusic.]

[@jarrettsherry3072]

Love watching this, agree with everything you said!

[@Orkey]

43:02 YOU NEED TO MAKE A VID OUT OF THAT EYYYY

[@dafingaz]

12:30 Sound design. Definitely not easy. But can be fun.

[@georgetulipana8136]

SOOOOOOOO. We got the legend himself here. DAAANNNNGGGG
