      can you do a vid on using a synth in music production, mostly for basslines. Or a vid on arrangements/transitions in between breaks.. As well as using ableton stock plug ins for mixing and mastering. Thanks fam.

    About that grid offset issue - adding time signature change (right click in scrub area,) where the drop starts, will reset grid from there, eliminating offset

    A little tip when inserting a hang, so you don't loose the overview: Insert a time signature change for that last bar. For example if you want to have a 4 beats (a bar) for the hang, change the time signature to 8/4. And at the drop again a signature change, back to 4/4. This way the bar count will stay the same, because the last bar (including the hang) counts as one bar, with 8 beats instead of 4.

  • @producer1762
    @producer1762 Рік тому +4

    9:20 fix to not mess up the grid: you can right click where you add markers and insert switch in time signature for an extra or one less bar (then insert back to original time signature ofc)

    I sometimes turn back the filters to normal in a climax break shortly before the kick drum restarts. I also sometimes fade out bass and kick drum before the break.
    Oh, and thanks a lot for all your tutorials. Learned a lot!

    Really appreciate your content, always worth the time! And your dry sense of humor haha. But actually the reason for this comment is I wanna upvote the Oscar-cam perspective you used here: how when your attention is on your DAW, we (viewers) see you as looking up in the same direction we are, when we're looking at the DAW display. Maybe this is old hat already, but that's the first time I've seen that used, or used so well. It really ties the video together and makes it seem more... important haha. Keep em comin! or climaxing

    Folks should check out Yasutaka Nakata's Capsule album Waverunner. The guy writes some of the most complex and compositionally deep J-Pop. However, Waverunner is just textbook EDM and all the usual ideas are dialed up, through the roof. He takes all these typical climax ideas but just goes nuts with it. It's actually pretty funny at times but no doubt your big smiley heads will be boppin!

    i have often thought about your last piece of advise and it does take your song off the grid so i have avoided it before thinking it was wrong or not the thing to do because your music then does not adhere to the 8 or 16th bar grid but i am now at ease with that after this tutorial and i will now be doing it more often. thank u Oscar

    I did all of those things without knowing that they have a name. Its good to know though especially when you're working with others.
    BTW I think it's possible to restart the grid in the arrangement view when you have parts that don't fit but I don't remember exactly how it works because I never bother to do it...

    In Reason you can add the last part of a trilogy by inserting a measure with a different time signature so you don’t end up off-grid when the actual beat kicks back in 😊
