Hi, I'm Underbelly and You Suck at Producing. I make tutorials primarily centered around Ableton Live. You can learn more about what I do on my website: yousuckatproduc...
I have never hated and loved someone at the same time more than this guy

He looks like a strange mix between a hipster and a character from Beverly Hills 90210

Honestly at first i thought i clicked on a pewdiepie video
Dude looks too much like pewdiepie
This is also subtly an unbelievable tutorial for ableton shortcuts and functions
Makes a LoFi tutorial, accidentally teaches everyone how to use Ableton much more efficiently. Gotta love this guy
retweet
yeah that helps a lot
I gave the video a shot because of this comment. Totally worth it!
@@TheGirfGirf Note O could only apply this technique to Maschine. 🤔
This is literally the entire entry-level music theory course you take at Berklee in one video. Props to you man
I’m a certified musician now
Pnly for those who know this in general already

Yeah don’t waste money on music school like I did
thanks for the reassurance, been feeling like Nick cannon on drumline
You’re like a really condescending Bob Ross.
By the way, this video totally made me subscribe.
literally same lol
I get mild Tim and Eric vibes
Rob Boss
The condescending dickhead attitude makes me not wanna like or subscribe no matter how useful i find this. The allure of Bob Ross isnt just his art, its his awesome personality. This guy got the art but lacks any sorta likable personality imo. Saying we suck is just shitty. Everyones at different points. Didnt even see his name till i i saw it on the screen.
@@growingoaks I mean it's a character right nobody actually talks in this tone while thinking so highly of themselves and is still able to be actually funny

i just made a mess in my trousers
i was going to comment that god dammit
Why am I watching this I've been intensely studying music theory for three years
Lol I feel the exact same way, it’s almost like reassurance that I actually know what I’m talking about 😂
Yeah I felt like a big brain when I said Dominant 7th right when he said it lol

why does almost every "how to make lofi" tutorial start with insulting the genre and everyone who listens to it
cuz lofi is simple and people don't try hard to do actual good lofi, like trap "beats"; only because it have a simple melody, hi-hats, banger kicks and 808 bass they call it a tRaP bEat.
For the same reason people insult vaporwave. Lots of people just take an old piano sample and put some drums under it and call it lofi. Don't forget the fact that lofi had a reputation of consisting of detuned pianos and very weird snares before it became mainstream.
Harukana but dude trap is always that simple, i totally get what u saying but trap music is usually in a formula (im only talkin about the hiphop trap, not the dance one or etc)
Maniclout thats true, for me the real lo fi music is vintage filtering , boom bap drums with unusual samples and a jazz piano , doesnt matter if its slow or not , these days people think lofi is just sad slow piano melody with shitty drums
who cares. just listen to the music
This is actually a brilliant crash course in rudiments of music theory
well i disagree, people who know about the basics might find it mildly entertaining but to those who dont it must be completely puzzling.. even that chart of the 7th chords is very badly chosen.. hes good to have a laugh or for a bit of inspiration but as a teacher he sucks at producing, if you pardon the pun..
@@toono21 I take it you're not self-professing to be a beginner?
@@moviewizard471 what i am selfprofessing to is completely irrelevant. whether you take that, well.. all im saing hes all jokes and perhaps fun to watch but he does explain a lot less than he can.. i didnt come here to slag him off but hes definitely not a brilliant crash course in any rudiments except perhaps a stand up.

@@toono21 What the actual f*ck are you talking about? This tutorial is basic as fuck and relevant to that point. Triads/Diatonic Chords and maj7ths, m7ths, 7ths (dominant 7ths) aren't rocket science. 8 year old kids can get it. Shut the f*** up!
Finally I can make money witnout having talent
I know right, now all we need is a program to master our tracks for us without human interaction. Oh wait it's called Ozone :)
@@danji9485 if you use auto mastering option on ozone it will fuck up your project so badly that you will just delete it
@@daniilrozhkov3838 lmao true
Drake has been doing it for years.
@@Christian-ju8lg 😂
It’s honestly impressive how your videos can be so sarcastic and hilarious yet so helpful. I’m actually learning a lot from these unlike other “comedy music channels”
For anyone trying to got deeper into harmony: The II-Chord in the minor scale is actually a diminished chord, with a diminished Fifth (6 half steps) instead of a pure fifth (7 half steps). The 7th chord for that is a half-diminished seventh chord (and there is another "full diminished" chord, with a diminished 7th on top). This is quite a dissonant interval, which is why it makes sense to kick it out and use a II-7(omit5) or a II-9(omit5), like he did here.
thanks, i was really wondering if im missing something.
11-7(omit5) ?
@@UbiDoobyBanoobyThat's not 11. It's ii (2)
I couldn’t even tell if this was satire or serious, because I actually learned something about music theory
Nice comments!!
He's very condescending. It's part of his charm.
Serious OR satire? There’s a difference?
@@mortenwintherolsson3237 what?
Yes? No??... an elephant??? Ok, I give up, I don’t know... what?
2 minutes in and I’ve already learned more shortcuts than in a 1 hour tutorial
Masterful shit is insane
Man, your content and etucational videos are pure gold, it is rare to see such a high quality. Keep it up!
I'm just half way through the video and bro has already squeezed most of all the music theory I've been learning along the year, plus jazz.

Ad before Video: Buy this Pack with hundreds of Chords and Chord progressions
anyone else? xD
Nice hahaha
Nothing wrong with knowing the basics but then using the tools available to you to make your work easier IMO.
@@soundboy89 I mean, it's just different kinds of music aye.

hate those ads. just buy scaler
"I wish i was twice as long, jeez." never felt something so hard.

Neither has he apparently

As a guy trying to learn software and rolls his eyes anytime the person making the tutorial has 0 music theory knowledge.. This was very satisfying to watch those guys almost get mocked but yet you still get taught a ton about everything this man is doing. If you don't know theory then this is good for you. If you do then you can still learn how the program works and how Lofi is built. I don't know why this works but it does. I learned about the software, I didn't need the theory lesson but its great for those that do.

I'm proud of his 3D stock fonts too. It makes me giggle.

This dude is the human version of " The light inside is broken but I still work" lmao
AHAHAHA*cough*HHaHaaHHaH*wheeze*
This man has taught me more in one video than the 4 years of music theory classes I've taken.
i started your video, you told me I suck at producing, i liked your video and subscribed. I am going to watch EVERYTHING. By the end of the month i'll be ready.
Not only did I learn useful Ableton shortcuts in this video, I actually understood the explanation of the chords and how to make them. What's funny is that I tried looking for other tutorials but none come off as easy (and entertaining) as this one.
Subscribed wowzers.

*Orgasmic jazzy chord intensifies*
"OOohh AaAhh"
Had to stop the video and go watch some Joe Rogan. I feel slightly violated by these sounds he makes
He says ooh like Snoop Dogg. I wonder if he can whisper rap like snoop
This guy is the Bob Ross of Music 🤣
"wOwZeRs!"
It's 18 seconds into the vid and I already gave it a thumbs up
I don’t know if this is a complete joke or actually trying to teach me something and I love it..
If you did learn something, then... guess what?
Wamauro Dentes [boka loka] what?
both things, why not?
This man just taught y'all theory and y'all don't even know
Facts
they werent ready
Schools and Universities can learn from this guy :)
Oh we know.
I have no idea what hes talking about but im enjoying it
I love you, within the first minute 5 seconds you connected all my music theory reading i've been doing for years and i uh think it makes sense now
back in blood by pooh shiesty is using e minor scale...............wtf
Thank you underbelly now i don't have to go to this sceance tomorrow to ask permission to clear these samples!! I'm writing my own dead guy music now and now people are asking me for permission to sample.
Dreamwave is accepting submissions from anyone that learned anything from this video.
Dreamwave what’s dreamwave?
Microwave?!
@@ludem. a lofi youtube channel
Still up for submissions? This retail job gonna kill me
@@erthwermmusic They posted it only 6 days ago, I bet they're always on the hunt for new material!
dis guy makes the best and simultaneously the funniest tutorials about music
Didn't expect to learn that much about Ableton and chord progressions... Wowzers.
Bro you should do a music theory course, you explain so good damn, I've bought a lot of courses and I dont understood nothing useful, you, in a simple vídeo explained me the paper of dominant 7th, thx so much.
stop buying courses wtf
@@David-hl9iv yeah I'm sure I should kajdfkasdjfa
Is no joke bro. These guy explains everything so well
why does this guy look like fitz and pewdiepie, help
and jacksfilms
Spike Yes
I thot it was pewdiepie in the thumbnail i was like tf
oh my god
Ikr
Okay honestly this is the only ableton tutorial I could get through just starting out LMFAO the way you explain things really breaks it down to where I can understand it!
I always have a hard time applying music theory when producing but this was really helpful! I really liked how you talked about the intervals on the piano roll.
“We don’t wanna seem like we’re trying too hard, I mean we are making lo fi hip hop after all”
You’re classic bro. Much love from Colorado. Hit me up if you’re ever rollin’ through.

He’s so helpful but it also sounds like wants to meet me in a dark alley
I've been producing for like 2 years and I just came across this guy and I have fallen in love. Wowzers!
Amazing, you teach really well! simple and clear
I didn't need this, but I can't stop watching.
Title misunderstood, wrote chords-only concerto.
The intro about melodies is already worth it!
"We don't wanna sound like we're trying too hard, it's low-fi hip hop after all" LMAO
That Fold trick was Mint!!
Right! Now I need to go research if Logic can do the same 🤔
putting the notes of your desired scale into the left before 0 + folding is v handy
The animation at 4:11 killed me with the added satirical wowzers. LOL
Brother. I don't understand a damn thing you're talking about. I love it.
" I wish I was twice as long." - Wowzers :P
Geez...
"low-fi is the unwanted bastard child of Jazz" I lost it here! LMAO!
That was such an underrated joke
😂
i watched so many different tutorials for producing, ableton short cut stuff, music theory... but yours combines everything in just 10 minutes lol. thanks man
Best tutorials. No BS. Learn something every tutorial and make me laugh..
the way he says wowzers is really calming and i dont know why
Nathan Melvin Really? It gives me a tumor. I guess that's where we are slightly different.
Once I write these progressions, do I have to die in order to use them?
Yes you do that’s how it works. Took me a while to figure it out.
No, it's a bit more complicated. You indeed have to die, but only for someone else to use them.
Christ that shortcut of collapsing the notes to the scale is incredible. Buying ableton right now
been watching for like 30 whole seconds and ive learned more watching than i have searching all of youtube. Not because people suck at teaching just not having the right way of gaining my interest kek
wow i just learned small bit of theory and everything instantly connected in my head thx
felt it when he said "wowzers" 😭😭😢😢
En_crypted 😂😂😂
I'm not sure why, but I always feel reassured when I hear, *"Okay, so check it..."*
So.unbelievably.patronizing... I LOVE IT!!
08:09 note how the 3rd and the root of the chords are now further apart and doesn't clash with the root as much
that's also part of the effect you can hear, not just the "boominess" of the lower root
If a chord sounds muddy, do this or put the 3rd an octave up!
Clicked to watch how he trashes some of the lofi producers..
Finished the vid with a music theory degree instead.
Fric, that first trick with making an alc for a scale....wish I had learned that like 2 years ago. Thanks for teaching it here
I have been trying so hard to understand these concepts and I finally get it. Just because of this video. Wowzers
I love how this was a lesson but also a dig at lo fi at the same time 😂
Sick Mighty Boosh reference. I about died laughing when he realized his hat was on fire.
Man, that was a brand new hat!
This is honestly of the most entertaining music theory video I've seen yet.
One thing I LOVE about this channel is that you explain music theory *_correctly._* I know it's a nitpick, but it's so obvious when a UA-camr hasn't studied music theory, but makes the video anyway because they think their ears are good enough.
It works for some, but their explanations of the "theory" always make me cringe when they make up terms instead of explaining the intervals.
why do people use pewdiepie face on thumbnail for views?
LMAOOO
That's not Pewdiepie in the thumbnail
That's obviously Jacksfilms
Gamja dude that’s not jacksfilms that’s obviously Gus Johnson
He looks like poods
@@christianjoseph6502 dude you're all blind. Its obviously Markiplier!
Your stock effects both hurt me and make me laugh involuntarily, as if being tickled painfully by knowledge. Thanks for the great video Underbelly, was great to see you speed run theory in one video to get those old fart chords down.
I like switching keys in chord progs though
This guy is literally the Bob Ross of music lmao I love it.
UNDERBELLY becomes the new GURU for electronic music producers
This dude is funny, subscribed withing the first 10 seconds
" when in doubt, add more notes" lol
Dude, your skill and comedy with the teaching is next level, it’s almost not like being taught.
That scale creation is so awesome. I cant believe who much of a game changer that is. Wowzers.
Just had to comment again; I used the scale creator to practice my chords and scales and such, and immediately came up with some wonderful sounds. As someone with zero musical theory before hand, my curiosity is skyrocketing like a child touching the internet with their fintertits for the first time. Thanks Underbelly, you're the person.
DONT FORGET TO ADD SIMPSONS OR CARL SAGAN SAMPLES FOR THE DEEP FEEL.
Alan Watts too.
@@mattbogen6452 whenever I recognize his voice I instantly like the song so much more lol
I add Mozart voice recordings because I actually let real musicians on my tracks 🤫😤
Also Cowboy Bebop
you pretty much summed up a semester of college intro music theory in the first 5 minutes of this video
i like how he has all the editing in the laptop beside him
wowzers! thanks man for the well made and humorous lessons
NO WAY, THE SPIRIT OF JAZZ FROM THE MIGHTY BOOSH. Underbelly my friend, you have just gained a whole boat load of respect from me
Quinn I was surprised as well. Are the Mighty Boosh even known in the US at all?
Mussi93 I really don't know if it's that well known in the US, though it is on Hulu
I like baileys
THIS VIDEO IS HILARIOUS AND im sending it to all of my friends who dont make music also your forehead is "twice as long" but in all of the good ways
I started making lo-fi beats days before ever seeing this video, and this is pretty much step-for-step how I did it. Stole II-V-I, used rudimentary chord extensions, did some inversions. I've never felt so called out in my life. Great job.
WOWSERS!
Good teaching man. Well done.
Just take a random beat u made , play it on ur sellphone , and put sellphone under pillow , and press it . WOALAA - YOU got lo fi
what a freaking genius

Wowzers this video is extremely informational i wish it was twice as long
this video made me uncomfortable on a spiritual level
wait till you start having them dreamz
"If this is confusing to you, I've also included in the video description below, a cheat-sheet that shows you how to build each one of these different kinds of 7th chords-wowzizz.
By the time video you are at the 1:40 mark, this guy explains better than pretty much anyone, the difference between major and minor chords on a piano roll
Buddy, this tutorial is amazing. Thanks
Wow, that's a really cool tool that you made only the E Minor scale playable and put the notes on the side of the loop bracket. Does anyone know if FL has anything similar?
Guy : Teaches the most basic of music theory as well.
Me : Instantly hits subscribe.
I feel so patronized yet so informed
You are the music teacher I've always wanted
