I hope he lets the rest of us use these tracks cause all his other music is subject to Copyright, not gonna lie Edit: Guess I should have finished watching the video before posting this, but oh well
I always thought that it was his beats on his streams. Seems like a no-brainer to me for a producer to use his own beats as ambient background music. Lol
I kept getting copyright strikes even with music I compiled from samples, was super annoying because I was getting striked for a song that was never released and was just the artist singing over a single sample track
I went in expecting repetitive stale songs, but it turned out so high quality and I’m honestly contemplating putting this stuff on my daily play lists!
*plays one note on the guitar* "yeah thats good enough, next song" You werent lying when you said mass produce them lol (and they all sound decent like what the hell???)
KatieSara wow so what you’re saying is, having a real good ear for texture and composition is a lot more important than seeing how “smart” or challenging you can write your music, because that’s what people actually listen to? No way
Honestly, I found this video wildly entertaining. I thought I was gonna be able to play it in the background, but I couldn't get over how much fun you were having making these beats. Usually people with this level of skill in something take themselves way too seriously, and it would so cool seeing the workflow you built. Can't wait for the next episode of "mass producing lofi hiphop beats"
@@RobTFilmsI see what you mean, but it's supposed to have a slightly off time sound. It should sound old fashioned, it should have decay and sound slightly out of place or jarring. But it sounds great in the end. It gives a nostalgic feeling. You have to master musicality before you can make something that is slightly off sound amazing.
@@MajorGunner I did lol. Dylan Locke is a UA-cam musician and Levi makes music on UA-cam too. It's not that far of a stretch. Everything online is interconnected.
After 3 tracks onwards, everything sounds the same. You can have 1000 songs in the playlist, but eventually you only hear one tune. You don't need new lofi music, cuz everything sounds the same.
So back in the day Dubspot made a tutorial for this little thing called a DrumPulse (Drum Rack + Impulse), it was an incredibly handy tool for outputting dozens and dozens drum patterns. If you pair it up with Ableton's clip system (I'm a little dusty, make a few midi clips that use DrumPulse and use the follow clip thing, so that one clip plays after another, etc. You can randomize certain tracks for some additional flavor like having similar sounding hi-hats that it'll switch between on trigger.) and setup enough variety you can basically do exactly what you are doing except probably a LOT faster.
At 3:00, the Saturday sirens (a siren system for weather alerts that tests every saturday at noon) started to swell and no shit matched/blended with your guitar so well that I lost my mind for a second.
Make sure you copyright these tracks yourself! Sometimes ppl will rip your songs and copyright them themselves (either as background beat for raps or just outright)
Copyright is inheritantly given once you make something. All it takes is you proving your the original creator and licence holder. (So basically upload it to services before you give it out for ease of proof). You cant buy 'copyright' for something you've made.
@@raindrop8966 sure u can go to court and prove that u are the original creator but that requires going to court which is not free, usually this turns into a chicken contest
@@Cl0udWolf No one is going to take you to court over something that isnt thiers? and if they do its a slam dunk case any lawer probs will take. Here in the UK im sure small clames would take it as well. What I was trying to originally say is you cant buy 'copyright', the next closest thing would be to pay for it to be on services like content ID in which someone would have to serve a legal notice to you. For example if someone disputes a DMCA on your content and goes the legal route, just use content id and screw them that way.
I've been using Ableton 11 beta since it came out and I didn't know you could stretch in the timeline as well as pitch bend directly on MIDI notes!! AAAAAAAAAAAA
I really appreciate that you're allowing us to use you mass produced Lofi Hip Hop in our videos or live streams so we don't have to worry about copyrights either.
Yes! Levi has said that he loves the Pigstep music disk in Minecraft and that was composed by the same artist who did the soundtrack for Celeste, Lena Raine. It's perfect!
Haven't seen the whole video tbh but ik it's going to be epic. Congrats on hitting 330k subs btw Levi, keep up the good work also shoutout to Dolan Dark for putting me on your channel a long while ago 👍🏼👍🏼
Really liked that one. Cool concept fr a video honestly. I mean, I know that not getting copyrighted is priority, but it actually turned out to be a funny cool video to watch.
Drew Gooden once got a copyright claim on one of his videos by a guy pretending to be Drew Gooden. UA-cam's copyright enforcement is completely broken.
Just realized he is a legend for doing this. This man made these the cheesy and easiest way possible but took the time to even do this. In the end he could have just used copywrite free beats.
This definitely inspired me to make some lazy lofi but yeah, I can see this being discouraging to people who don't already know how to produce music and can't just automate repeats on an arpeggio or sidechain a kick without looking it up or know how to play some basic guitar and bass. It's the double-edged sword of disparaging your own music in general.
I've always loved the idea of making music, and lofi HipHop is by far the one I'd love to make most, and watching someone else make it? It's amazing Song 10 got that same sound to start as that song by Shady Cicada, the fire alarm song
If you want to start just remember its not as easy as levi makes it out to be, he's just had a lot of practise. It will probably be hard at first but after a while, you will see yourself slowly progress and it's one of the best feelings. Good luck 🙌🏼
A perfectly valid reason to mass produce lofi hip-hop.
yeah ngl thats a genius way to get around copyright too 😂

Making lo-fi hiphop is super easy. If you have been producing music your whole life...
@@ClySuva exactly, and lo fi really takes no skill. pains me that the lo-fi producers are copystriking his videos/streams? when he uses their crap.

I won’t lie these are some of the lofi songs of all time
yes those are in fact lofi songs
Ngl these are lofi

True
This channel is one of the most underrated ones on youtube, and I don't even know anything about music!
Same. Know nothing about music theory but love watching his videos.
he keeps saying who cares like he isn't making absolute bangers every time

Some decent stuff here! :O

Lofi artists: noo you cant do that
11:25 “what instrument do you play?”
“keyboard”
Yoo that hoodie is sick
I have been looking for inspiration and help with my own lofi productions. This upload will be a big help! Thanks Levi!

I usually don't listen to lofi hip hop, but I'm genuinely excited for these to come out on spotify for some reason.
you should do a challenge where you can do whatever except you can’t go back on anything/undo any things you did in the music :]]
You should make a Celeste-type song!

What about a risk of rain type song?
This video is amazing. Your calm voice, your calm Lo-Fi, a calm video. Its just perfect.
1:16 Tbh those low notes sounded pretty dang good
this video is extremely wholesome, thanks for brightening up my day levi! :)
Holy shit Song 4 (14:00) is the best lofi track I think I've ever heard. Maybe because it's so close to the Twin Peaks theme...
There are some synthwave vibes throughout these songs. I really enjoy it.
These turned out sooo cool. Enjoyed every minute of this video Levi. Funny concept and great result

UA-cam: Copyright claimes Levi
Levi: *I'm gonna do what's called a pro gamer move*
Levi, these are amazing! Can’t wait to hear them in future streams.
Copyright: Exists
Music producers: I'm about to end this man's whole career
You're on UA-cam and suddenly every other lofi track on every channel is made by Levi 😂
11:26 CREEP? all but the last chord xD
can we get this on spotify for the meme please
yassss
he said it's gonna be on all major streaming platforms
Lmao
the production and mixing is on point..
UA-cam literally copyright claimed a video of a song that the uploader created so... this probably wont work. UA-cam knows no bounds
It is not youtube themselves who copyright claim like this, just greedy companies
So long as these songs aren’t publicly released and distributed by a company, the songs will stay out of Copyright ID.
@@CraigVisnovec Hey, funny seeing you here! Great content, by the way.
If youre talking about ymfah, He claimed his own video

Lofi 10 sounds something for an outro which is perfect for the end of this video!
"ooh that one is really wobbly"

1:15
He doesn't use a lofi factory, he is the lofi factory! Seriously tho, shows how confident and experienced he is with his skills!
Amazing stuff. Disappointed he didn't end up using the really wobbly one, loved that sound
Every time I watch your videos I just get a positive boost to my day! You honestly bring a smile to my day, keep it up:)
When half of these are some of the best lofi out there
It's just Vol. 1?? Cant wait for the rest, they sound amazing
“Let’s record bass”
*pulls out guitar with base amp*
Baseist!
Just realized he is a legend for doing this. This man made these the cheesy and easiest way possible but took the time to even do this. In the end he could have just used copywrite free beats.
5:19 MY MAN PLAYED THE THE ANIMAL CROSSSING THEME SONG AND I LOVED EVEY MOMENT
This is Soo entertaining ... Love the length of the video as well :) perfect way to relax
literally better then 99% of other lofi and you made them in a few hours
Currently listening to the production of lo fi beats to study to instead of actual lo fi beats to study to
Enjoyed it! Ill try to catch your next stream and see if I recognize any of these songs
Your music always sounds so amazing, it doesn't matter what device you are using and I am impressed!
25 minutes of Levi making chill beats? Hell yeeea
38:04 This reminds me of Minecraft a bit
You know, that could totally fit in with the Minecraft sound track

Hey Levi, you should really try making a song using Andrew Huang's new mobile DAW "Flip."
Love your content! :D
definitely!
Dude that’s such a good idea!
For as fast as this came out all the beats are legit and would bump 10/10
Can we use them too in videos, or no? If not, I guess i’ll have to do this myself... honestly it sounds really fun!
Honestly the 4th song has some serious Tiny Wings vibes. Brings back good memories
