Watch a Stranger Make Music and Then You Do it - Ben Levin

[@giannisxrisostomakis5599]

Me at the beginning, when I heard the first melody " This is it, Ben has finally lost it" Me listening to the end product " Ben you son of a gun, you did it again"

[@ericdecker2914]

Crazy how he goes from cheesy goofing around, and slowly you start to hear something coherent and, frankly banging!

[@crimsun7186]

You need to watch a bit of Andrew Huang and his "4 producers flip the same sample" videos.

[@gruforevs]

I like how you included the dry vocals. If I made this video, frankly, I would've been too embarrassed to put that in there, but how you incorporated it into the song was really great. That was probably the most inspiring part of the video for me.

[@ryanjackson5437]

“I’ve been practicing singing with various screams and stuff...” haha only you, Ben. I love it.

[@mememem]

10:10 new ringtone thanks

[@ImEverythingYouCrave]

What is your profile picture hahaha

[@FirstRoyceMusic]

epic

[@pratishyoutube]

This is so awesome 🔥

[@genesis_tracks]

Fuck even you're here welcome though

[@JustSomeSound]

Holy shit this is a wierd Track ;D I saw you with Bent Knee in Hamburg couple days ago. Great show I had goosebumps all over my body thank you!

[@skunks6134]

FUUCK dachte die wären nur in Hannover PS. wohne in Hamburg D:

[@JustSomeSound]

@@skunks6134 Ah shit ! :D

[@Jinx-iw6zb]

There is a south indian percussion instrument called chenda which would be perfect for this track. It has a sharp tone rather than the round tone of the snare.

[@avedic]

"So, I didn't end up doing anything that strange with the sample," said Ben Levin.

[@dyce3008]

glad you played that song from the music from sine waves video. that song has been stuck in my head since I watched that video!

[@VectressWasHere]

this is basically a soft organic sophie song

[@rainbowrotcod]

that's what I thought 🤣

[@jonbanjovi99]

now we have to, because it said so in the title. click click new project.

[@J.Millhouse]

I don't know why but every time I see your name I read it as "Dr. Ben Levin". You're just so professorial my dude

[@ShortMan_123]

The bell and kick sounds have a cool Balinese gamelan vibe to them

[@JimmyLem]

This is the best!

[@rhandhom1]

Your videos keep getting better and better.

[@cp99music]

Thank you for basically making the Iglooghost tutorial we all wanted. Does anyone know what Reaper skin he uses if any? It might make Reaper actually usable for me lol.

It looks like the Default_3.0 skin.

[@BibleStorm]

Reaper is awesome, it's just BYO VSTs. There's some decent tools and fx but you can't rely on the reaper synth.

[@Guyster5]

It does end up sound inspired by iglooghost though!

[@MrTandinos]

Nice..enjoyed that.very cool result.

[@Hellosange]

there is so much freedom in here ❤

[@TheDoooden]

I immediately wanted to do a drum and base track with that sample 😏

[@TheSubzeto]

Fry screams would be sick on this style of groove.

[@zaglamir]

Hey Ben. This is really cool, but I always wonder with these how long it takes to do? I try stuff like this, but often get frustrated about 40 minutes in when it's not turning out. That obviously comes with practice, but with the edited format it's also hard to tell if folks on KZbin are having those same issues. Thanks!

[@BenLevin]

zaglamir i take breaks throughout the day and never work much more than 40 minutes at a time. 40 minutes is a very good amount of time to work before a break!

[@BibleStorm]

@@BenLevin In the video you can see your clock. Looks like you started at 5:00 and finished at 10:00 Cheers for another great video

hi ben, i love your videos and i love reaper

[@jc1636]

Mad scientist!

[@mu_on]

Hey Ben! Great video as always! What is that reverb sound ? 9:45 Sounds cool

[@Mezurashii5]

He opened the reverb plugin on what he called the "NIN beat" track and it defaulted to a pretty high value. Basically a hihat with a ton of reverb.

[@samalweihe495]

hey ❤️

[@insertname8889]

Could you please tell me which softwares you use (for producing the music, not for the videos) I really appreciate your work, both as a musician as an animator, i adore your style. Btw I own a MIDI keyboard, which, I guess, it's basically vital, right? Greetings from Italy

Nice one! I was wondering, what is the mic you ar using on vocal, is it a usb dynamic?

[@nextlevelgamer6936]

Reminds me of Xiu Xiu

[@BrunoWiebelt]

lol Ben is making PC music

[@timhansvideo]

Hey Ben I heard you on Office Hours!! Good joke

[@kitspapp]

Hey Ben, where do you find all these interesting samples and sounds you use in your beats?

[@TheLuceArs]

there's basically an app in the video

[@kitspapp]

@@TheLuceArs Which one? I might have missed it.

[@RRaps3]

@@kitspapp Splice

[@crimsun7186]

If you don't want to "sell your soul to the devil", you can look for samples on the internet. Recently, about 38 GB of public domain foley samples were released to commemorate a GDC thing.

[@kitspapp]

@@crimsun7186 I've been doing that but whatever I find is not what I was looking for. Do you know a specific place where I can search for cheap/free samples/plugins?
