Appreciate it, thanks. Tomorrow I start another new track.

Adam?

Ha. yeah man. Who else is proud of teaching ALevel Psych? @@stuartleighton

And i've heard a lot of songs

It’s not bad considering I sell pet food for a living.

@@MegaDabendan I totaled up the amount of songs you’ve heard and worked out that I’ve heard about 7 more than you so far in my lifetime.

Thanks, appreciate the comment. Nice to know someone likes my music ;-)

Thanks for the comment. Drop me a message when you put up a new tune. I’ll happily check it out. Not sure how the YT algorithm works tbh.

I’ve no idea what you mean by that. ;-)

Cheers mate. The arpeggios were made using Reason’s Dual Arpeggios, though the subtle arpeggio hidden behind the chord progression used Ableton’s arpeggio combined with the Shaper tool. Glad you like it. This one I struggled with a little as we are locked down again and was hard to focus at times due to the frustration of it all.

Thanks. My songs seem to be getting better as I am fairly new to this. I did a song called ‘The Queen is Dead’ after this one which I think is better, maybe check that one out. Tonight I am putting the finishing touches to my new tune called ‘This Madness is Yours’ which I should be putting up tomorrow. Had samples from Marlon Brando from Superman The Movie. Pretty cool tune and even more ear candy that my last two. I love Ableton. Appreciate the comments. ;-)

Thé Hartnolls inspire my tunes as well. Great work!

@@wndrfsh Thanks. My basslines tend to veer towards being Simon Gallup-esque in their heaviness at times, but I’m glad people can hear the Orbital influence in there. I have a new song I need to get back to working on today after being away trekking and mountain climbing for the last few weeks. Feels a bit daunting.

@@stuartleighton Nice! Can't wait to hear it. Hope you enjoyed your time in the great outdoors. I also just got back to the studio after some time traveling. I feel refreshed. Cheers!

@@wndrfsh Loved it mate, thanks. Climbed a mountain called Haba in SW China that’s 5400m or thereabouts. Got altitude sickness at around 4300m pretty badly but that was my own fault. Just been looking at your set up. Man that looks very cool. I’ve just got Ableton Live, and also Reason + that I dip in and out of. Also and 808 and 606 emulation synths but need to get a some more equipment so that they can be recorded into Ableton.

@@stuartleighton Oh man, that's a hard core hike! Love Ableton - I run the local User Group and always learn something new and cool in that software. The hardware bug hit me though - it's good fun but hits the wallet pretty badly.

At least it Teaches one of the core lessons in Buddhist teachings which is being self less and pursuing the peace of Mind

Plus it's just an interpretation it's not trying to be accurate.

Thanks mate. These days I use Ableton Live, which is much easier and better.

@@stuartleighton That was exactly what I moved on to after Korg Gadget, too 😅 I've meanwhile moved on again - shortly before Live 11 came out, I started using Bitwig instead, and that's my favourite DAW now. The Grid and its modulations are awesome!

@@haslo_ I’ve not heard of Bitwig. Got a couple of tunes I’ll put up soon that use a combination of Ableton and Reason.

@@haslo_ Ah, just checked your channel. I remember that we chatted on Oscar’s Discord channel a while back. I ended up buying a TD3 to enable me to start producing the acid screaming sounds that I remember you having in your video. Just need to get myself an audio interface now so that I can record it into Ableton.

@@stuartleighton That sounds great! I just got the TD-3-MO, too, haven't gotten to play with it yet. But I really have to do something with my channel again, it's been without any new content for two months now 😂 Looking forward to what you do with the TD-3, either here or in the Underdog Discord!

Thanks. I'm still in the dark when it comes to making music but happy with the way this has come out. I need to study more music theory I think.

Thanks.

Thanks for the comment, much appreciated. I'm just finding my feet at the moment and really am in the dark, which is why I'm focusing more on learning music theory so that I start to understand how to put the right notes together etc. Then once I build up music theory knowledge I'll start to look into sound production / manipulation.

@@stuartleighton well I will be uploading detailed korg gadget tutorials soon but my dsn-12 videos can give you a introduction to synthesizer with the similar korg Nintendo workflow

@@GXSCChater Great, will check out your channel. Much appreciated mate. Will give your tutorials a gander tomorrow morning when I wake up.

Thanks for the comment. Yep, I have read both Monster and Pluto, loved them both though I did feel that Monster went on just a little too long. Pluto I liked more actually, which is a little strange as Monster seems to be more highly regarded. Just waiting on 20th Century Boys Vol. 11 to arrive and then I'll start that series. I've not done anything on this channel for a while now, maybe I should do an updated Manga video as I have quite a lot more than when I first did this video.

@@stuartleighton Yeah I agree, also Pluto is suppose to be getting an anime but with covid and all I'm sure it got even more delayed. I'm hoping his work called Billy Bat gets an official translation but I heard because of the contents inside nobody wants to bring it over. That would be neat.

@@MutedMimic Not heard of Billy Bat, who's it by? During Covid and the fact I cannot return to the UK or go abroad I went on a bit Manga spending spree last year and purchased about 100 books, don't regret it at all. I read March by John Lewis yesterday, not Manga but is a really good book about the Civil Rights Movement.

I saw your mention about Showa: A History of Japan. I thoroughly recommend it. Shigeru Mizuki is quite possibly my favorite Manga artist. His works such as 'Onwards Towards Their Noble Deaths' and the 'Showa' series are astounding autobiographical masterpieces that cover his life and the social and political events around him. I cannot recommend Mizuki highly enough. What's a good anime for me to sink my teeth into? I have recently bought a TV box (as the TV channels in China are pretty rubbish) that has quite a few options for Japanese anime. Been watching Parasyte, having read the manga series. Pretty damn good.

@@stuartleighton Interesting and I just found out he also created GeGeGe. I will definitely check out his other works once I finish up on collecting a few other series. Hmm Jormungand & Black Lagoon if you haven't checked those out already. You also got Ping pong the animation, and recently a show called OddTaxi became one of my favorite shows this year so I would highly recommend it.

I’ve read Vagabond and just finished Vinland. Both phenomenal.

I’ve often wondered what One Piece is like. My Thai Boxing coach was watching it today actually when I turned up to our class. Thanks for the recommendation, I may well start collecting it. Recently I’ve spent a shitload on Manga titles... can’t get enough of it.

Thanks, I'll take a look at his other stuff. I have loved all the Manga that I have read so far (which isn't a huge amount), so I'd like to build up more of a collection. I have bought all the Berserk Omni's so far, but will hold fire until I receive my Vol 5 as I like to have a fair amount to read in one go. I'm meaning to also collect the Barefoot Gen run in its entirety, though that is seeming quite pricey for some of them too.

@@stuartleighton I am the same, I like to build up a large chunk of reading for a series, otherwise if there is too big a break between volumes I can start to forget exactly what was going on where I last left off.... or if I'm enjoying it a lot,get frustrated that there is a huge wait before I can continue! Barefoot gen I have collected and read up to volume 4, want the rest of it but as you say the volumes are quite pricey, especially the hardcover editions I chose to collect them in. Underrated series imo, I don't see that many people talk about it, perhaps due to its dated artstyle.... which i personally think fits its historic nature.

@@anab0lic I live in China where there is a lot of anti-Japanese feeling, due to WW2 atrocities. Barefoot Gen certainly is an apology from the writer for the crimes that Japan committed during the early part of 20th Century in Korea and China. I have only read Vol 1 in paperback but I would love to own the hardback versions of the full series. I find this kind of book far more satisfying than superhero stuff, though I also like that too. I think Blade of the Immortal and Lone Wolf and Cub I might target next. I've seen that they BOI is being reissued on 25th Dec of this year, all except Vol 7 omnibus (according to Amazon.co.uk). Will keep an eye on that. Have you ever read One Piece and if so is it worth collecting?

Thanks, appreciate the comment. What kind of stuff do you like?

@@stuartleighton I love war-time comic books and horror comics. Can you suggest some ?

@@suntaylor7696 Not really into horror myself... a lot of people rate Black Hole, but didn't really enjoy it myself. Providence by Alan Moore I have, but yet to read. Can't beat Alan Moore though. I hear it's shocking. In terms of wartime stuff, Barefoot Gen is a great anti-war Manga series based around the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. That's fantastic and heartbreaking too. 'Onwards Towards Their Noble Deaths' by Shigeru Mizuki is fantastic too, about a Japanese suicide platoon in WW2. Anti-war Manga again but really awesome. I have his Showa - History of Japan series but yet to read that. Other than that, Joe Sacco's stuff is highly recommended. I've read Fixer (based around Bosnian Conflict) and Palestine and both are absolutely gripping and informative. He's also done Footnotes in Gaza, which I also have but yet to read. Some don't like Joe Sacco but I love his work. Like Maus it's quite heavy in places. Might do another video this weekend... if I can break out of laziness.

@@stuartleighton thank you for the recommendations. I'll check them out. You should definitely do more videos on comic books and graphic novels.

@@suntaylor7696 No worries mate. One series I do recommend is Scalped by Jason Aaron. Awesome series about a cop on an Indian reservation in US. Maybe that's what I might do my next video about. Hmmm...

Ray Cook Thanks mate, ideas will come to me. There are a few of the top 50 Rolling Stone list I’d love to cover, some absolute gems in there for sure.
