My god what a great masterclass! using a japanese bird sample really got me... the level of detail is insane, i cant believe i didnt find your channel earlier!
I like your channel bro great in depth information .u do your homework and present everything respectfully and you don't rely on gimmicks and cheesy dialogue lol no 'woooos" or "that's fire" every time you add a sound lol .
thanks again Will, i finally finished 1 traditional japanese lofi track by watching this tutorial, you explain it nice and clearly, once again thankyou sir.
@@WillHatton I'm thinking about buying silk, but it's a little expensive so I'm not really sure, have you got some thoughts about nativ instrument east Asia??
@@huber-lofiandchillbeat it is! Even per month you’re still paying $30. I love East Asia too! Definite purchase at a lower price point but if it’s quality you’re after you might not beat East West however, if it’s the odd Yangqin sound in a Lofi beat - who’s going to hear the difference?
@@WillHatton Thanks for your reply ! yeah you make a point, the last thing I wonder about East Asia is, is the vst only composed of pre - recorded phrases that you can put on the piano roll, but that you can't really edit to make your own melody ?
Great track :) Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for sharing on Reddit. :) 2 questions: what VST’s/Library’s are u using for the Wurli and Yangqin? :)
Thank you! Good question, the Wurli is just built in with Ableton 11 and the Yangqin is from Native Instruments. It was free at one point so check if it still is!
great content Will! you put a lot in this video :) Is there a way to add these scales to the ones in the window menu in ableton? it would be really nice to select "scale" and have just the right notes to play from.. or maybe is possible to save a preset in the scale intrument
Oooh! Good question, leave it with me. That’ll be handy for future videos. I’ll try to get to the bottom of it you can. It would make a nice addition to the projects I upload to Patreon.
Hey, very nais tutorial mate, since my music theory is a little limited I wanted to ask you what kind of chords you used as the foundation. It looks like a basenote + a higher octave and one in between. But are these typical chords?
@@WillHatton I forgot to answer, by the way you should try the Zhong hu instead of the erhu if you’re trying to achieve that type of Mellow dreamy sound for that instrument

Masterclass tutorial. Thank you, Will
This was so high value. Rly great quality ❤
Thank you so much!
nice content! Find the space between the melodies is a great tip.
thanks again Will, i finally finished 1 traditional japanese lofi track by watching this tutorial, you explain it nice and clearly, once again thankyou sir.
I think I've practiced melodies enough to attempt this! great video, one of the only ones that show up when searching for Japanese lofi, so nice work!
Such a beautiful composition! 🔥
Thanks for the video Will✨, always wanted to make this type of lofi but had no clue where to start😂
Glad I could be of some help!
Happy music making!!
Amazing video, well done! Would've loved to see you use Dani Sogen's Domaru as a reference track, that song is something else!
Thanks a bunch!
There’s always time for more in the future 😊
Exactly the kind of things I was looking for this days, thank you
I'm so glad! Thanks!

@@huber-lofiandchillbeat no, I often put it in “chromatic mode” to record my own melody!
that sounds really great
Thanks!! 😊
Great useful video, gj Will
Thanks bud!!
As we have asked for this.. ;)
😂🙌🏼 Ask and you shall receive!!!
Yeah sounds more like JazzCal's japanese lofi track
would have been a great track had the water not sounded so much like u.k. water
You had me in the first half, I thought this was a negative comment 😂😂😂
Such a good content❤
🙌🏼❤️
this is great! thank you! can you post the full name of the guy who make chinese music tutorials? , i cant find his channel.
Nice

Thanks 🙌🏼
Just hit the black keys, sounds oriental every time.
Hi Will, i was just wondering where I could find some japanese soundscapes/textures like the birds you use in this one. Can you help me? :)
It's a vibe
Thanks bud!
Great video. One idea for you, how to make Stock 11 Instruments sound ‘professional’. Thanks again!
would love to see a tutorial with a seagul sample... a techouse track should do
😂😂
Great track :)

Hoping you come back to this sober so you can explain to me what you wrote! 😂
PS - Drink water.
