Red Means Recording my bandcamp is an asshole and doesn't notify me of these things, should I inform the police of this?
TheSlightEuphoric yes please definitely give them a stern talking to.
Im watching your videos for a while now, love your sequencing style; gives it all a monophonic 8 bit thingy and that hits a sweet spot.
And so much more. Anyway Id be interested in buying an op1.
Does it still justify the high price of about 1k?
Im not really convinced of what Ive seen yet about the its follower.
Best wishes and play on :)
May the love and adoration of millions fuel you forward! Don't stop, Jeremy! MOAR!
Red Means Recording I fucking love you
What I learned from this video:
*Red* means Recording
*_red_*_ means kick drum_
Red means a lot
Jed means jedcording
666 likes, my guy.
Same, I learned all of those except the *666* one
Anyone still visiting this every once in a while? I definitely am
Wyatt Matkin I am man this is such amazing use of the synth
I sure do :)
Same
I just read this comment, but realised I had already liked it months ago :) i love this video too much
hell yeah
After 2 year, he's still hearting comments. What a legend
thank you for the wise words, Puro
u got no heart
It’s not special if everyone gets one.
Make that 4 years
He won’t heart my comment - I called his music superficial.
You had me at "I've created a prison out of of videos featuring a niche synthesizer nobody can afford and a lot of shitty jokes". ♥
Just had to make sure I was not the only one.🤣
I remember wanting one of these at launch and wondered the type of people that can afford them
🤣😂🤣👍
I suppose people COULD afford it, but chances are you're going to grab an OB-X8, Grove Synthesis 3rd wave or NIN-ISI Black for that kind of bank
This dude makes Tuesday feel like Friday for 20 min, good on you mate.
or a Friday feel like a Friday
Ryan - It's Tuesday right now so this comment is so much better for me

The day that I'm commenting on is literally tuesday and I'm all burnt out from cross country
@@mexilianmus2016 same
when you realise that the reason he keeps on saying red means recording because that's his name
_oh_
um, isn't it to show when they're recording?
Both. :D
he actually changed his name to red means recording after a couple of videos of him with the OP-1 were out and a couple of people wrote that he should change his name to red means recording (he used that phrase in the videos)
same :))
Oscar Armstrong I thought he was forgetting 😭💀

Just found this, can confirm does indeed slap

This video ultimately lead to me getting my dream job writing the code to run on music hardware at Elektron
Woah. That is awesome
Bravo
That's amazing.
Hey can I please get better reverb on octatrack mk I thank you haha
UA-cam recommendations finally hit the mark here.
Hell yea
Same
This guy is all about the art. I DIG IT
The personality created/conveyed without even saying a single word still gets me, man. It gives your music so much personality. I could watch/listen all day. Love it.
We're making it easier for the robots to take over!
Honestly, I'm too tired. I'm down for it.
Stop with that A.I bullsh@t
Robots?
we are not provoking them, we are keeping them satisfied
@@qi6303 your fear is just ignorance
My wife is out on the deck waking up. We've lived here for 15 years. She just saw her first fox in the wild. It was red. Does that mean it's recording? If so, where can I hear the music? Do foxen have band camp pages? Thanks for your help and the music /videos.
yes, foxes make all kinds of music. they are very talented.
@@RedMeansRecording example, "what does the fox say" from awhile back.
Well unfortunately their play button is around in the back of their body and its kinda jammed. You'll have to hit hard on the back of their body to hear the music.
@@odetomykitten odd design choice
You just made a 19 minute song that is listenable the whole way through
Classical music: *amateurs.*
Tisana Del nojé ambient music: *rookie numbers*
Prog rock: first time?
@@vincentd.1424 -> comparing jamming out a track to months of writing a piece and a bunch of people who cant play by ear
For real!
Red means Subscribed.
It means subscribe
Hate to burst your bubble, but that means you’re not subscribed.
Its gotta be white to subscribe
EXACTLY actually no Red Means SUBSCRIBE Gray Means Subscribed. But Who Cares? This Song is AMAZING!
I was about to like ur comment but I saw it had 420 likes. Figured I'd keep It that way instead :)
actually its grey
6 years later i still come back for this masterpiece
For anyone wondering; the auditory phenomenon with the kick landing in the melody at 1:21 is called metric ambiguity. It's pretty cool and you don't hear it very often.
thank you so much for pointing it out, now i cant unhear it! I was to use it in music now
wdym, isnt it right on the drop?
Nobody makes 20 minutes of watching someone play synth more entertaining than you
:D
James Simon you're so right! I wish he made a SoundCloud!!!
SO TRUE
Just a sick beat coupled with the anxiety inducing stream of conciousness of a scared guy unsure of his ability to make it in life with music. This shit is fire bro you'll be famous.
In a a world with even a shred of fairness to it... Yes, they would be.
Alas.... :/
it's the "eh gah bur eh gmehg aj wib bah ah eh" for me
It's been 4years and I still come to listen to this till date what a master piece.🔥🔥🔥
Hey man , this track made me get into synths and sequencers, I have an op-1 and op-z and an right now sequencing this on Arturia keystep 37. This track alone changed my life … Jeremy you’re incredible.
@@drosophila82 damn men that's awesome bro wish you success in your career path
I believe this is the best video you have ever made. Love the editing, dig the music, like the vid.
Owen McCarthy same
The vibe is so relaxed and chilled.
Owen McCarthy The best for me was "Reggie's Song"
Love is blind hands down winner for me
thank you many, many owen
I don't know why this was in my recommendations but I'm really happy it was.
Say what you will about UA-cam it's been locking it down with recommended videos lately.
agreed.
Recommended videos are about YOU, so it'll basically recommend videos based on what you watch, It's not universal just something built into the system.
i agree about the recommended haha
totally :D
Same for me :D
Glad i got recommended this 5 and a half years later :D this is so relaxing to listen to I love it.
Exactly
came back to this 2 years later, still a masterpiece. This is something special.
hey man, I just want you to know that I'm not here because you play a niche synth I can't afford and make shitty jokes.
maybe the shitty jokes.
but seriously, I'm here because since the beginning you've made wildly varied sounds that all still sound good, banged out leads like nobody's business, shown me I don't need to overthink my own music, introduced me to new artists and genres, and entertained me along the way. if you want time for yourself take it, I can't say shit about leaving us for Samoyeds, those cute fluffy bastards. I'd do it too.
so cheer up buttercup, we love you
I came here to say this, and then here it was. So, thank you Azithoth, and 100x thank you, Red Means Recording!! Don't get discouraged, man. I love your stuff, even the jokes you apparently hate. I hope you don't feel like you're in a prison, but even if you really do, please tell me where you go when you break out because I wanna be wherever that is.
You know, Jeremy, right after you shared all those thoughts in the video, the worries and the uncertainties , you broke out an amazing synth solo, and it was so intense, so utterly expressive. It made me think that all the disturbing thoughts and all the struggle can just go to hell when one is engaged in performing the magic.
And I do feel that same way when I dance or play an instrument.
I don't know man, thank you.
skysadness We can't pause time, so writing that comment too is a 'waste' of time. It's an endless loophole.
¿ W H A T D O E S R E D M E A N ?
I've watched every video on this channel & I still don't know tbh.
Ness T I think it means "deleting track"
Ness T Rrrrr Rrrrr Red means Reverse.
Ness T Legends say he's dropping small hints in his videos , but no-one has found them yet.
Red mean heart (heart is red), heart mean love, love mean this channel, RED MEANS RECORDING is Love, ah forget that
I really wish the modulation for the drop at 11:00 stayed in the final cut. I love it so much.
Yeah I feel ya
@@RedMeansRecording Cheers to you for being so active on a video this old 😂. Love everything you do man, I hope to get an OP-1 soon with you as an inspiration.
Seriously, that was sick
I will never get tired of this video, this video alone has convinced me to put some of my savings toward the OP-1 Field, this thing is awesome
You would be the bomb at making video game music! It looks like you could get some really good ambient sounds going!
mr. recording would've killed it on a celeste b-side remix, especially mirror temple. Red Means the Bubble Doesn't Pop Until You Hit a Wall (or Spikes) (Which Are Also Red Here, Actually)
UA-cam recommended this for me 3 years ago when it first came out. I listened and loved the style immediately, and so i downloaded the song to my phone. The whole video that is. Not just the final result but the whole editing process too. I listened to this so much and everyone who heard me playing or listening to it at school was always like "wtf is this experimental music" and people thought I was wierd for liking the editing process more than the actual end product, but I digress. This song was my #1 go to in all of highschool. Its a 15min song that i enjoyed, so just listen to it 3-4 times and bam class is over. I love this video so much and i gotta thank you for making my highschool experience 100X better man. :D
I absolutely listen to it fully every time too man. Seeing/hearing the process and having it come together step by step is amazing.
What did u use to download it as music?
@@bartholomewlyons ytmp3 is the best site right now
back when I had an MP3 player and just jammed out to Ninja Tuna: Mr Scruff, some cloudkid stuff and I Need U
@@shlecko whoa I haven't thought about Mr Scruff in a few years! So good, thank you for reminding me!
One of the most inspirational music videos I've seen. It's been 3 years and I keep returning to it from time to time. Hope your fire will keep strong in 2021 and for decades to come, Jeremy.
I wonder how many op1's have been sold because of this video alone. It's like the perfect storm.
*clicks the subscription button aggressively *
:3
Who's here before this shit blows up?
head a splode
Ayyyyy
you should!!
lmao
New Yorker :3c
I've watched this video probably 20 times. It's just so soothing, and so inspiring. Thank you!
coming back to this video after your "things change video", you can really see what you meant when you said it was pretty clear even then that you weren't super satisfied with the niche you made. good for you for not sticking to a formula just because it worked. thank u for i need u, and i can't wait to see what's next :)
Agreed. Been a while but I've rediscovered the channel after a long time of not being able to visit for a while, and while I miss the OP-1 content, I don't want to see Jeremy lose is creative spark to give us the easiest possible content to digest. It's lightning in a bottle, but that's the thing about lightning, it doesn't last forever.
The semi-comical jokes you made this video about your doubts and questions are actually really really healthy and even nescessary thoughts. These are are periods of development every artist goes through every once in a while. It's this feeling of repetition and perhaps even boredom that drives your creativity. Don't think of this feeling as detrimental. It means you've really started to master your current style and sound, and you're ready to strive for something greater!
Also, though your chord progression may be a bit repetitive throughout your videos (which is perfectly fine!) in my experience you have an immensely wide arsenal of sounds at your disposal that you know when and how to use. It's mind baffling to me as a jazz pianist how you just pull exactly the sound the song needs out of your magic hat!
Also 'extremely white funk' QQ relatable.
Anyway, the video, the track and you are T E R R I F I C. Don't let anyone (even you) tell you otherwise.
Also you should try some smooth jazz chord progressions or even sampling if you want to try something different. I can help with that if you want ^^
I was almost trying with this video, but man, jazz and rnb and neo soul chord progressions area actually legit difficult. Need to practice more.
By "extremely white funk," do you and Jeremy just mean playing on the beat and on top groove instead of syncopation and laid back groove?
R E D M E A N S R E C O W R D I N G
Not gonna lie, 99% of UA-cam recommended is weird shit. But every once in awhile they throw in a gem that you'll keep coming back to.
Good shit bro keep up the music
I've watched this video more time than I can count and every time it just makes me feel good. I don't know what it is but there's something so therapeutic and calming for me watching you make these songs from scratch.
Loved the little flash of Griffin Mcelroy when it said "boy". Awesome video as always :)
B O Y
That good good goof boy. Great Job!
G-Mac is a good good boy. I find it strangely fulfilling when two of my unrelated interests intersect.
Ahem. It's 30 Under 30 Media Luminary Griffin McElroy. He didn't spend 12 years in media college for nothing.
30 under 30 media luminary Griffin McElroy?!
“Cool, ima buy myself one of these”
*Checks price*
Did the exact same thing 😂
I did. Turns out i got no talent

@@Ferz2006 practice, maybe like the rest did 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️
them bitches are a grand no less, ima be DRUNK when i Amazon Prime that shit to my DOOR
been a few years since I watched this and come back to it every so often. absolutely love your work and really inspired me to delve deeper into music!
I honestly love this video so much. I come back to it all the time. I like the creation of the song more then the end product. The little bits the got cut out are like little gold nuggets.
this is the first video i see from your channel , and im fucking hooked. I am amazed by your talent / creativity , and the vocals maaaan they got me. subbed 4 sure ! such a chill vibe man as someone who edits a lot of videos i really gotta say hats of to making 13 mins of edited content just for a few people who actually watch the whole thing .. much love from germany
same here ;)
only i am from Latvia. ;)
Ditto, I stumbled on this video and I'm picky with my subs...but this got me hooked as well. I've tried my hand at making electronic music (Roland MC-505, Reason) never really got beyond basic beets and simple melodys. So I gave it up. But I have a passion for (listening to) music and watching the creative process and progression with the funny comments is really fun. Keep up the good work!
The editing on this video is almost as impressive as the skill involved in making this piece of music...
I was sold by “RED MEANS KNOBBING”. Hands down the best OP-1 video on UA-cam (yes, I’ve seen them all). This track hasn’t left my head nor stopped to make me happy every day for the last week since I discovered it. Top of the head off to you sir, hats don’t do it justice.
This song has helped me through so many phases of my life
Damn that is awesome
You've popped up on my recommended videos several times with different videos, this is the first I've watched. I subscribed within the first 15 seconds. Well done, sir. This is excellent.
nice!

Also here from suggested! But turned out I absolutely loved this. c:
your velocity-less keyboard had more dynamics than my life
This is possibly one of the best tracks I've ever heard.......
when a creative content maker such as this only has 107k subs SMH! keep on keepin on man love the vids
I’ve never enjoyed something this much and be so confused what’s happening at the same time.
#metoo
I was doing ok until the triple otters.
Almost 5 years later, I still come back to gold mines like this video
This channel will periodically show up in my recommended, and every time I’m blown away. You have so much creative capacity and it always sounds so nice and unique. Super great work!
Dude you narrating over everything made it way better than just the plan process of making the vid. I laughed so hard at the cow and the vocals. Keep up the great work. Much love from Wisconsin, USA
Hey...that's pretty good
I come back and listen to this frequently, just running the buildup to the actual track is so good for working too. Thanks for the content!
I found this 4 years ago. Still come back every now and then when I need to de-stress. Good vibes
Dude, this is fire. Love the shitty jokes. Love the niche synth. And repeating yourself? Naw, that's called style.
I spent twenty minutes of my life on this in place of doing an essay.
Well worth it.
I am ready to spend more time on this in place of my essay

these videos are so well produced and calming. amazing work, jeremy!

Red means stale memes?
Man that was amazing. My OP-1 came in last week. Thanks for all the inspiration!
congrats on the op1 friend! hope you two get along.
Red Means Recording I hope teenage engineering sees this and starts paying you, if they don't already.
Jacob Cd I know right?!
Bought mine as well after seeing the very first videos of jeremy, or should I say Red :p still love it loads!
Got inspired by you four years ago. Got myself a used OP-1 last week, and binging your content yet again. I feel like a super-inspired five year old again - thank you!
Fantastic jam and the editing is all over and spot on! My adhd and musical brain thanks you!
I watched this whole thing. I love your editing. Your personality shines through the cleverly written and edited text. I need you, therefore I subscribed.
"Tomorrow is another chance to do good"
I don't know if it's the music accompanying that sentence or something else, but I had to pause the music and think about that for a while.
Great vid as always and keep these cute puppers coming.
Oliver Longfield he's becoming the second coming of bob ross
I remember watching this in 2017 and being absolutely amazed (I was probably in 7th grade). Now I was on youtube and saw someone using the same keyboard, and I just had to come back. Still as great as I remember. Please keep making videos!! They've helped me so much with music production and creativity. Red means a fan.
Everytime I think I have a new RMR favorite, and I get back here, I'm reminded that this is ... again. Love the melancholy in it. Chord changes towards the end gets me.
And I'm back. Hello younger me, you were right in that this is the sh!t.
I discovered your channel after I lost my job, I thought my life was just gonna keep going south but your memes and beautiful synths were so uplifting. Please keep doing what you do :).
Came for the music, stayed for the captions.
just wanna say that this is the video that made me buy the op-1
I feel like this channel has a much deeper meaning or a secret that some people subconsciously get
The name "I need you" is not, as most would suspect, a statement to the significant other in his life, but rather a statement how his fanbase on youtube is not only the source of his income, but the source of his self satisfaction. While he does, in fact, need it, he is also stating that he cannot live without it and is imprisoned by the very thing that sustains him. This is clearly reproduced in the music itself, as the progression follows a pattern that does not resolve to the root of the key, but instead moves to a different chord, representing how he never can find the release of being truly finished with anything, always a slave to the system. This of course, has to be masked in positive melody tones that provide an almost comical presentation to his persona, which clearly shows his presentation of a comedic view of life to his listeners, allowing the cycle to perpetuate indefinitely. My condolences to you and your struggle. Please allow me to share this video to further your dependence upon us all.
you nailed it
uWu
@SweetSkatinMat I read it in Morgan Freemans voice
wow. jeeze.
I spit out my cocoa puffs at a certain point reading this. Damn hilarious. Lol. The last few lines.....hahahahahaa oh...my tummy....damn
I'm just listening to the last part with the whole song on repeat because I'm having a hard time right as I was finishing up the vid and it's helping me go through some stressful shit. thanks a bunch, I really like your ice-cool jams bud.

Whenever I am trying to fall asleep or just chill out I always watch your op 1 videos, not just for the music making process but everything. Idk I just thought I should say also I really like your content.
Give this channel Silver and Golden Play Button, 'cause this channel is awesome

Red means genocide and famine.

Insert soviet anthem
God I love this. What a nice thing to watch in the morning, the added commentary got me cracking up.
I love that I can watch these videos once, and have a good time. Come back a second time and have just as much fun while seeing even more than before. Even come back after a few month, watch it yet again and absolutely still enjoy these videos.
in this case, Red Means Fail fast, eat as-...

This video literally got me into music. Thx a lot
It's interesting & rare when someone can actually takes a device... no matter how big or small... and literally take that device to it's ULTIMATE LEVEL OF CAPABILITY!!! I don't think anyone can do more with this than Red just did - he is obviously "THE MASTER on OP-1" - PERIOD!!!
I'm sure that anything else someone could do on this would simply be a VARIATION of what he just did - not MORE or BETTER!! Even the tune was actually funky - and sounded better than half the bullshit on the radio today!!
I love that Griffin keeps popping up
Griffin is my son's name. He loves this video
Hi
Griffin is my name lol
Someone say my name?
I'm not a Griffin yet, but I can be one too!
Wow! What a track, the chord structure works so well with the slow nature of the beat. the general rhythms and chops help give grit and the chop nature of the groovy bass makes this overal an amazing work. Keep it coming I know you'll go far!
6 years later this is still absolutely amazing, the editing, the audio, graphics I could go on this is a literal masterpiece thank you
Earned a sub 🎉 thank you Red Means Recording
