    Best music production tips on youtube. Straight to the point without the clickbait.

  • @AKAtAGG
    @AKAtAGG Рік тому +38

    Still my favourite channel for production - every single tip here is valid in any electronic music, and most of them can transfer to other, less electronic, genres. Ace work Alice, as usual.

    • @CatFish107
      @CatFish107 6 місяців тому +1

      You nailed it. I'm not at all someone who listens to, nor wants to make these styles of music. BUT, I find Alice's vids super valuable, and enjoyable. They are absolutely applicable to other use cases.

  • @colinbrash

    You are a diamond my dear. Just yesterday night I sat and tried to structure my drum tracks like this. Your tips really added to that and gave me new ideas. Love the minimal take! A big thank you!

  • @lucasj7577
    @lucasj7577 Рік тому +8

    Out of the many tutorial driven mixing content on UA-cam, I think you convey the concepts in a very succinct manner. I've seen these concepts on other channels before, but you detail it way better. Thank you

    I'm someone who can't face learning daw software, so I use vcv, and hardware for having fun. These tips videos are great for getting me thinking. So many of the "just do x, y, z in the piano roll or dropdown menu" things get me puzzling out how I would patch that function.
    This is on top of the quality production tips themselves!
    Thanks, and please keep doing your thing.

  • @karlovesel6088

    Perfect timing. I just had a mininal song I was working on with a really nice melody on chorus but couldn't for the life of me figure out the other synth part so I will fill the space with more percussion instead. Alice you are amazing!

    I am glad to hear you promoting your own performances. Obviously that is sign of credibility as a music educator, but it is also heartening to know that techno-performance culture and techno-internet culture, at least in your case, are not in conflict here. Also I have just discovered you channel and am very impressed and grateful for your work. Thank you

    Thanks for the inspiration. I'm new to music production so this is quite the journey learning all these varying techniques. It's quite overwhelming at times but i often refer back to your channel for inspiration and even just simple things like encouragement.
    You are like the Andrew Huang of EDM 😂In short you're awesome so keep inspiring me and i'm sure many others.

    The clap/snare in the 2nd chart (explaining rushing/lagging feel) are 4 offbeat hits and not on 2 and 3 as in the audio (and visible MIDI track).
    Another mismatch seems to be the number of bars per perc type. The workflow diagrams starts with 2 bars for the strong perc. Yet the video presents only a 1 bar strong perc patternn going to 4 bars immediately for the weak perc.
    But it was a good idea to use a charts in the first place. Very helpful, I'm just nitpicking.

      a dark(not bass) spring reverb mixed in barely hearable is the way to go
      u can manage the tail with a gate.. short is good
      i use softube and the arturia
      the right IR's also work
      i guess its the sproinginess that makes it fit, normal verbs often sound outlandish

    Fantastic guide. It’s great to have some loose “rules” to tick off when making a new drum groove. Love this information. Thanks again, as always.
    You may have already covered it sufficiently in this video. Would love to see your guidelines for drum groove variations between song sections, as I know you’ve made videos talking about double top down and triple top down arrangement strategies.

    Nice I'm going to look at some more of these vids 🙂
    Something I like to do when I get to 4bar and 8bar is have something that happens on the 4th group of every 7, or 3rd of every five, where I find it can be really distinct as well, like replace a dominant note or hit in the sequence, 7*8=56 so at that cadence it might only happen 2 or 3 times

  • @fender97
    @fender97 Рік тому

    Nice work. You can add fills, mod the decay time, and introduce elements which are non-repeating to break the 16 bar repetition. Sequencers have a random funtion for most things like timing, velocity and note on which can be interesting as the listener cannot anticipate when the sound will trigger.

    Hi Alice! Great vid as always, you give all of us a great motivation and will to get better 💪🏼💪🏼may I ask you two quick questions?
    1) If you were to give three percentages of how much you actually use Serum, Pigments and V Collection in your tracks, what would they be? (I'm asking because I've noticed you use Serum and Diva a lot and was wondering if you make most of the sounds with these)
    2) While producing and mixing do you use any kind of headphone equalizer as MorphIt or Sonarworks?
    Thank you 🙏🙏🙏
