Thanks! Definitely a different style than I'm used to making, but I really love how it turned out! That's my goal for Jamuary--to try out new approaches to music and just seeing where we end up!

@@EdHerbersMusic - I always like to listen to other musicians. I've not really 'jammed' but I've made things at least, I'll try and think of jam

​@@JohnnyWednesday oh, my music isn't really a "jam" most of the time either (it's all sequenced and not performed live), but I'm thinking more of the spirit of a jam session: just start creating and don't worry so much about mistakes and over-production

Thank you! I've got another similar video that walks through the process of making a song that you might be interested in as well: ua-cam.com/video/4bwo0nrWPHI/v-deo.html As far as following along with this one, some of the instruments and effects I'm using are things I've purchased and won't be available to you "out of the box." I definitely recommend grabbing these (free) plugins though! - ValhallaSupermassive Reverb - valhalladsp.com/shop/reverb/valhalla-supermassive/ - Spitfire Audio LABS (TONS of instrument libraries in this one!) labs.spitfireaudio.com/

I truly don't remember why I thought it was a good idea to make this

@@EdHerbersMusic why though? Nomi fans appreciate this

Thanks! I know lofi beats are popular, but I don't listen to it enough to have a full understanding of how broadly the genre is defined.

You're right! There's a noticeable lack of quicksand around here.

There's probably a better way to do live fadeouts (I typically automate them in a normal "studio" track, but that method doesn't exactly work for this kind of live take)--I'll figure it out! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! I realized I hadn't posted anything here for a while--I have a lot of little projects I have been working on. I'll try and get more of them onto UA-cam soon!

@@EdHerbersMusic that's cool! And i wouldn't be surprised if you worked for some game companies XD. Ambience your music has is fantastic

All the instruments are from a VST called Medusa2, which has some really primitive waveform tones (Sine, saw, triangle, etc.). I added a bitcrush over the entire mix, which contributes to the "Fez-ness" of the song. I know that Disasterpeace actually uses the plug-in Massive for all the Fez music (there's a great tutorial video he made) but I didn't actually use that for this track. Sounds close enough!

Thank you! The software I use to make music is called Renoise. It's a breed of music software known as a "tracker." If you're interested in seeing how I make music this way, I have another video where I walk through the process of making a song: ua-cam.com/video/4bwo0nrWPHI/v-deo.html

@@EdHerbersMusicThanks Ed!! Excited to check this out :)

Thanks for inviting me to make one! It was a lot of fun! Happy to try it again sometime 😉

Thanks! I compose everything directly in Renoise! I typically use a MIDI keyboard to enter notes, often recording a performance "live" while the song is playing back. In this example, I had the basic chords and melody in mind, and I entered the bassline of the song into the far left channel first, then recorded the performance of the chords and melody separately.

Thank you! I really appreciate this! I usually try to write "compositional ambient" music, where there's a distinct melody or structure, but it's still minimal or quiet enough to keep the piece feeling ambient overall. On this one, I think the clarinet adds a warm contrast to the synth sounds--I'm really happy with how this turned out, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

@@EdHerbersMusic Of course!! Agreed on the clarinet, I don't know much about music in general but it feels more "organic" compared to the sci-fi ambiences that feel like you're sitting right in front of a box fan. I'll be keeping this on loop for a while, but I'm looking forward to whatever you make next ✨

Lol, that's because they're using the original song by Dan Deacon in their video

Agreed!
