And Moonji is going to give us an
interview with Tim.
1
00:00:07,360 --> 00:00:10,160
So let's go.
2
00:00:11,440 --> 00:00:12,070
You too.
3
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,080
Thank you so much for joining.
4
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,040
Thank you so much for having me moonji
5
00:00:17,320 --> 00:00:20,560
yeah. You are very famous within the producers
6
00:00:20,680 --> 00:00:26,200
world and everybody is so hyped to meet
you yeah.
7
00:00:27,720 --> 00:00:33,920
So I'm just gonna start with some basic
and rather generic interview questions
8
00:00:34,280 --> 00:00:39,440
for you to begin yeah so just please go
ahead and introduce yourself yeah.
9
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:42,920
Hi, I am Tim.
10
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:46,630
I actually met Moonji back really, really
11
00:00:46,640 --> 00:00:47,710
early in this process.
12
00:00:47,720 --> 00:00:50,310
Like Muji have known like MUJI and I have
13
00:00:50,320 --> 00:00:51,680
known each other for a little while.
14
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:54,950
It's probably what was it would have
15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,230
been. Maybe iconic for a spa.
16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:05,120
So that was like three three years ago
was it two and a half years ago?
17
00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,550
I think 3 three years ago from when you
had the song, like when we first started,
18
00:01:09,560 --> 00:01:13,750
like, sharing, sharing work?
Yeah, yeah.
19
00:01:13,760 --> 00:01:17,390
Which was again like introduced through
like another friend of ours and like,
20
00:01:17,400 --> 00:01:21,310
yeah, it's just a whole bunch of
introductions with everyone.
21
00:01:21,320 --> 00:01:23,320
So this is the perfect scenario.
22
00:01:26,750 --> 00:01:29,630
So how did you start your musical journey
23
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:33,190
and how did you get into making music for
KPOP?
24
00:01:33,310 --> 00:01:38,580
Ultimately, we were just actually talking
about that in our little breakout room.
25
00:01:38,590 --> 00:01:47,660
But like, I think, yeah, musical journey
for me started like my my parents were
26
00:01:47,670 --> 00:01:50,950
like, really loved music, but my dad had
grown up and like.
27
00:01:51,310 --> 00:01:54,350
I guess like your sixties and seventies
sort of like rock phase.
28
00:01:55,670 --> 00:01:59,060
So like that's I guess where it started
when I was really young.
29
00:01:59,070 --> 00:02:03,100
And as I got older, it sort of turned
into like like when I was a teenager it
30
00:02:03,110 --> 00:02:07,620
was like Green Day and like Fall Out Boy
and then to even like sort of like
31
00:02:07,630 --> 00:02:12,470
heavier stuff in the outskirts of that
sort of scope of genres as well.
32
00:02:13,710 --> 00:02:17,910
And then when I was like 18 started.
33
00:02:19,980 --> 00:02:22,180
I guess like appreciating pop a lot more
34
00:02:23,380 --> 00:02:28,370
and then started making pop music for the
next like 3 or so years and like moved to
35
00:02:28,380 --> 00:02:33,970
because I'm from Perth in Australia, but
then I moved to Sydney like I'd be like
36
00:02:33,980 --> 00:02:35,380
five years ago now.
37
00:02:35,540 --> 00:02:38,890
So I moved to Sydney 1st and at the time
38
00:02:38,900 --> 00:02:45,250
of making pop it was like almost what I
fully enjoyed doing but there was there's
39
00:02:45,260 --> 00:02:47,940
certain limits I think at the moment with
like.
40
00:02:49,500 --> 00:02:51,620
I guess like Western western pop at the
moment.
41
00:02:51,980 --> 00:02:56,930
So as soon as I as soon as I properly
found K pop and and and sort of other
42
00:02:56,940 --> 00:03:01,770
artists around, sort of your main ones at
the time was sort of when I started to
43
00:03:01,780 --> 00:03:07,290
go, oh, this is actually something where
I can create pop music, but in ways that
44
00:03:07,300 --> 00:03:10,500
are far more exciting for me.
45
00:03:10,900 --> 00:03:12,370
I also have like like I've always grown
46
00:03:12,380 --> 00:03:15,700
up with like a really small really small
attention span, so like.
47
00:03:16,020 --> 00:03:20,690
Creating music for K Pop was always a lot
more appealing to me.
48
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:24,130
Like as soon as I discovered it, yeah.
49
00:03:24,140 --> 00:03:27,540
And then from there just yeah.
50
00:03:27,580 --> 00:03:30,700
The the rest of it sort of just like
disperses.
51
00:03:30,860 --> 00:03:35,210
But it's it's it's so much of sort of
like creating and being like trying to be
52
00:03:35,220 --> 00:03:39,570
as self aware as you can with what you're
creating and sort of like what areas to
53
00:03:39,580 --> 00:03:44,540
work on and stuff like that and just
finding the right people like I think.
54
00:03:45,380 --> 00:03:49,210
The most important thing for me so far
that has been there from the beginning
55
00:03:49,220 --> 00:03:56,540
and hasn't changed at all is people's
energy is really important.
56
00:03:57,500 --> 00:04:00,330
So if you're collaborating with someone
or you're having a conversation with
57
00:04:00,340 --> 00:04:07,500
someone about working together in any
capacity, I always find that their energy
58
00:04:07,540 --> 00:04:12,010
and their your gut feeling about their
like personality is really, really
59
00:04:12,020 --> 00:04:14,100
important to that, if it makes any sense.
60
00:04:14,780 --> 00:04:15,820
Yeah, definitely.
61
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:18,010
I can totally relate to that.
62
00:04:18,019 --> 00:04:20,810
And it's, it's really amazing when like
63
00:04:20,820 --> 00:04:28,890
the producers like once they find the
right click with like certain people that
64
00:04:28,900 --> 00:04:32,340
they work with, the synergy that they
create is just amazing.
65
00:04:32,500 --> 00:04:38,570
And yeah, it was, it was amazing to see
you create those synergies with a lot of
66
00:04:38,580 --> 00:04:41,330
the writers that, you know, I've been
working with too.
67
00:04:41,340 --> 00:04:43,620
So yeah, it was great to see that.
68
00:04:43,980 --> 00:04:47,050
It's so important the energies just
69
00:04:47,060 --> 00:04:51,130
matching together.
It's just really, really that genuine
70
00:04:51,140 --> 00:04:56,690
energy that when you have with that
person, it's just really great, always a
71
00:04:56,700 --> 00:04:59,580
great outcome in that, absolutely.
72
00:04:59,660 --> 00:05:02,570
And if you think like we're all, I'm sure
73
00:05:02,580 --> 00:05:06,660
doing this because we really enjoy it, so
finding that.
74
00:05:06,680 --> 00:05:12,630
Energy is so important to continue
enjoying it yeah being and having fun
75
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,990
together, I think it's so important too.
76
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:18,590
And so you've had great success in
77
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:24,030
releasing a lot of great music these past
few years and in recent years a lot of
78
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:25,400
them were singles.
79
00:05:26,800 --> 00:05:29,470
So do you see any significant changes in
80
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,960
the trend and what the labels that you
work with are?
81
00:05:33,140 --> 00:05:38,370
Are looking for or what do you think the
trend is currently going for in your in
82
00:05:38,380 --> 00:05:46,370
your standards?
It's interesting because I think what I
83
00:05:46,380 --> 00:05:50,770
think what's really exciting and I don't
know if like this is going too far into
84
00:05:50,780 --> 00:05:56,490
like other things or not, but I think tik
tok has been a huge switch up for the
85
00:05:56,500 --> 00:06:00,650
last couple of years obviously post COVID
and I think tik tok but not in the sense
86
00:06:00,660 --> 00:06:02,980
that tik tok music will dictate.
87
00:06:03,370 --> 00:06:05,930
Music, but in the sense that because it's
88
00:06:07,210 --> 00:06:13,640
because it's such a how you say it, like
an unfiltered platform, we're seeing a
89
00:06:13,650 --> 00:06:18,480
lot of non-english speaking music cut
through and that's even outside of K pop,
90
00:06:18,490 --> 00:06:20,680
right?
Like if you look at the last like couple
91
00:06:20,690 --> 00:06:23,480
of years, do you have people like Rosalie
and like bad Bunny and stuff like that
92
00:06:23,490 --> 00:06:28,280
completely dominating side by side with
artists like new jeans and stuff like
93
00:06:28,290 --> 00:06:29,370
that coming through.
94
00:06:29,730 --> 00:06:31,840
So I think what's really exciting is that
95
00:06:31,850 --> 00:06:32,530
I think.
96
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:38,320
Pop music and like the world is kind of
97
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:43,840
changing and it's going to be like
appreciating more and more things from
98
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:48,470
sort of like other countries and
non-english speaking languages in I guess
99
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:49,880
a more universal way.
100
00:06:50,840 --> 00:06:52,710
But I think that what that will then do
101
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,200
to tie back into sort of like K pop
trends.
102
00:06:55,640 --> 00:07:01,800
I think K pop in the last two years have
always been quite boundary pushing.
103
00:07:02,570 --> 00:07:07,120
So I actually think that gap will be like
become even deeper, like it'll be even
104
00:07:07,130 --> 00:07:13,810
more about attempting to create something
in which people haven't heard yet.
105
00:07:14,090 --> 00:07:19,320
And that doesn't necessarily mean like
creating a new genre or anything in that
106
00:07:19,330 --> 00:07:26,770
way, but sort of being able to like
everyone here would like different
107
00:07:27,730 --> 00:07:29,440
artists and different styles of music.
108
00:07:29,450 --> 00:07:30,730
And I think there's, there's.
109
00:07:31,380 --> 00:07:34,380
There's something really special and
exciting about being able to incorporate
110
00:07:34,420 --> 00:07:37,020
small portions of that into what you do.
111
00:07:37,380 --> 00:07:40,130
Like I always like a lot of my
112
00:07:40,140 --> 00:07:46,170
instinctual things to do whilst I'm
creating is just like just random things
113
00:07:46,180 --> 00:07:50,010
that I know that I would enjoy because I
listen to this artist that I enjoy, if
114
00:07:50,020 --> 00:07:51,100
that makes any sense.
115
00:07:52,460 --> 00:07:53,850
So I think, yeah, it's like putting your
116
00:07:53,860 --> 00:07:59,290
own personality into it actually makes
sense for the future trend because that's
117
00:07:59,300 --> 00:08:00,340
going to set.
118
00:08:00,500 --> 00:08:02,250
That song apart from say something that
119
00:08:02,260 --> 00:08:09,730
someone else will create entirely yeah so
like I I'm also like I'm probably not the
120
00:08:09,740 --> 00:08:13,650
right person to ask with trends because
I'm also like a non believer in trying to
121
00:08:13,660 --> 00:08:14,530
chase trends.
122
00:08:14,540 --> 00:08:16,930
Like I'm just kind of like if everything
123
00:08:16,940 --> 00:08:21,250
that you do feels different to you than
what you did two days ago, then that's
124
00:08:21,260 --> 00:08:24,900
amazing. Like that's the the most important thing
125
00:08:25,260 --> 00:08:29,660
because I I would I would personally get
super bored if I like worked.
126
00:08:30,150 --> 00:08:34,190
On something on Monday and then on the
Tuesday, I work on the same thing.
127
00:08:34,870 --> 00:08:39,780
Whereas like I love that freedom,
especially in Kpop where you can get away
128
00:08:39,789 --> 00:08:44,270
with most things so long as you dress it
a certain way that's gonna be suitable
129
00:08:44,630 --> 00:08:46,990
for like choreography and stuff like
that.
130
00:08:47,990 --> 00:08:55,220
Yeah, yeah, I totally resonate with that
because last time on our last master
131
00:08:55,230 --> 00:08:56,950
class, we were talking about trends.
132
00:08:57,560 --> 00:09:01,360
And how it's really going more universal
133
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:08,110
and Kpop is going more global than ever
before because I think like the trends
134
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,670
are changing because like a lot of
cultures like as you said like
135
00:09:11,680 --> 00:09:18,390
non-english music is breaking it through
the industry more and more and I think
136
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:21,980
we're just.
Sharing a lot of the aspects of like the
137
00:09:21,990 --> 00:09:27,940
Western music, but then the western side
has also begun to get more influence with
138
00:09:27,950 --> 00:09:29,430
Asian music as well.
139
00:09:29,710 --> 00:09:31,660
So it's it's great that you brought that
140
00:09:31,670 --> 00:09:37,020
up and I love that you said that you
don't really tie yourself into likes
141
00:09:37,030 --> 00:09:41,100
being stuck into the trends because that
was one of the encouragements that we
142
00:09:41,110 --> 00:09:43,950
gave to our UMC members that you know,
the trends.
143
00:09:44,300 --> 00:09:48,410
It will always be there and there will
always be genres that will never die in
144
00:09:48,420 --> 00:09:50,180
terms of trend, like hip hop.
145
00:09:50,260 --> 00:09:54,290
But just being able to create something
146
00:09:54,300 --> 00:09:59,860
that will leave the next trend is going
to be really, really more important.
147
00:10:00,140 --> 00:10:05,210
And you know, just having fun and being
authentic in your music is the most
148
00:10:05,220 --> 00:10:07,890
important. And I'm so happy to see you doing the
149
00:10:07,900 --> 00:10:10,130
same. But you know, you're also leading the
150
00:10:10,140 --> 00:10:11,980
KPOP scene right here, so.
151
00:10:12,290 --> 00:10:14,360
That's that's amazing advice and I'm so
152
00:10:14,370 --> 00:10:19,770
happy that you are giving out the exact
testimony that we emphasized about.
153
00:10:19,810 --> 00:10:28,600
Yeah, can I ask you, I, I totally agree
with you in terms of the trend and about
154
00:10:28,610 --> 00:10:33,720
like your personal way of making music
has to be inspiring to you, has to be
155
00:10:33,730 --> 00:10:37,730
different. Did you start like that?
156
00:10:37,930 --> 00:10:41,430
Were you always like, you know what?
I'm just going to do my own thing you
157
00:10:41,440 --> 00:10:47,840
know how so how was that process because
I think a lot of us in it's like we're
158
00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:52,950
we're in the very beginning stage of you
know of learning.
159
00:10:52,960 --> 00:10:59,830
So what what advice would you give to
people who are like oh, I don't know what
160
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,350
the trend is but I'm not sure if I should
do the trend because all these people are
161
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:07,480
telling me not to do the trend because I
I said the same thing but it's some.
162
00:11:07,630 --> 00:11:12,900
In some level you do have to kind of know
the trend or how kpop sounds like and all
163
00:11:12,910 --> 00:11:20,140
that like yeah that's a that's a
interesting question cuz I think I was I
164
00:11:20,150 --> 00:11:30,100
think I semi explained in the breakout
room that I think my transition into Kpop
165
00:11:30,110 --> 00:11:33,390
was like actually relatively jarring in
the sense that like.
166
00:11:34,570 --> 00:11:36,760
I was growing up, like playing in rock
bands and stuff like that.
167
00:11:36,770 --> 00:11:41,480
And then I started creating pop music
with since and then that was for the
168
00:11:41,490 --> 00:11:48,280
first two years, like extremely awkward
because I was so used to hear his drums,
169
00:11:48,290 --> 00:11:49,440
guitar and bass.
170
00:11:49,450 --> 00:11:54,440
And like in very, like specific ways that
171
00:11:54,450 --> 00:11:58,680
when I first started creating even just
normal like pop music, it was like kind
172
00:11:58,690 --> 00:12:01,640
of like if pop music was created by a
dude who played in a rock band sort of
173
00:12:01,650 --> 00:12:05,440
thing. And then the next step further, once I
174
00:12:05,450 --> 00:12:11,410
did kind of get the hang of the pop thing
like transitioning into sort of like KPOP
175
00:12:11,810 --> 00:12:14,880
was again different because there's just
so many adjustments that you have to
176
00:12:14,890 --> 00:12:17,840
make. So I would say like there's definitely an
177
00:12:17,850 --> 00:12:25,520
element of your sort of journey that will
be I guess like what I would consider
178
00:12:25,530 --> 00:12:30,400
upskilling like for example, like you
were like to to properly attribute
179
00:12:30,410 --> 00:12:32,170
yourself to be able to sort of.
180
00:12:33,480 --> 00:12:34,640
Exceed boundaries.
181
00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:37,430
You kind of have to know how to create
the boundary in the 1st place.
182
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:42,190
Does that make sense?
So, so like, there's definitely a really,
183
00:12:42,200 --> 00:12:47,790
really important part of the journey,
just creating something that you had
184
00:12:47,800 --> 00:12:49,790
intended to create, like to give it.
185
00:12:49,800 --> 00:12:53,350
Like say say, say you came from a
186
00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:57,430
background and you felt like trap music
wasn't something that was in your comfort
187
00:12:57,440 --> 00:12:59,470
zone. Or like trap music the way that it exists
188
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:00,840
in K pop sort of thing.
189
00:13:01,570 --> 00:13:02,920
So you wanted to work on that and being
190
00:13:02,930 --> 00:13:09,080
able to sort of like focus in on that and
I guess achieving that checkpoint for
191
00:13:09,090 --> 00:13:12,040
yourself. So you know, OK, so this is this element
192
00:13:12,050 --> 00:13:16,200
done so that you can then move on to the
next thing that you're working on and
193
00:13:16,210 --> 00:13:20,290
slowly work on these different areas as a
producer.
194
00:13:20,450 --> 00:13:24,640
Because I think especially as a kpop
producer, you kind like outside of
195
00:13:24,650 --> 00:13:29,130
country music, you kind of have to be
able to do everything like even.
196
00:13:30,130 --> 00:13:36,520
Even like like what blew my mind was when
I was working on the one of the hyphen
197
00:13:36,530 --> 00:13:44,520
songs like how relevant I guess like
guitar was for the creation of that song
198
00:13:44,530 --> 00:13:48,040
like which is just like a very like.
199
00:13:48,050 --> 00:13:49,040
I would never would have thought about
200
00:13:49,050 --> 00:13:52,640
that prior, like guitars being important
to K Pop sort of thing.
201
00:13:52,650 --> 00:13:58,530
But yeah, pretty much you have to be able
to sort of create most genres.
202
00:13:59,690 --> 00:14:03,120
And be comfortable with most genres so
you can kind of put them all together in
203
00:14:03,130 --> 00:14:05,810
this like bubble of music.
204
00:14:05,890 --> 00:14:08,920
Like I think K pop is so much harder to
205
00:14:08,930 --> 00:14:10,130
make and perfect.
206
00:14:10,970 --> 00:14:13,560
Yeah, because a lot of people, you know
207
00:14:13,570 --> 00:14:16,770
they, they have been using genres
together.
208
00:14:16,850 --> 00:14:24,120
But smoothing it out especially for like
performance based music is it's a big
209
00:14:24,130 --> 00:14:27,930
challenge yeah yeah no, absolutely.
210
00:14:30,420 --> 00:14:33,610
Yeah, it's a definitely.
211
00:14:33,620 --> 00:14:36,850
Yeah, a lot of practice and
experimentation definitely comes into
212
00:14:36,860 --> 00:14:37,370
that as well.
213
00:14:37,380 --> 00:14:39,410
But it's also, again like everyone
214
00:14:39,420 --> 00:14:42,020
instinctually will enjoy certain things.
215
00:14:44,420 --> 00:14:46,490
So like there's absolutely nothing wrong
216
00:14:46,500 --> 00:14:52,980
with sort of sticking to what you really
enjoy because that's where you're like.
217
00:14:53,060 --> 00:14:55,970
It's kind of like when I think back to
school, like the subjects that I
218
00:14:55,980 --> 00:14:57,980
preferred I would naturally.
219
00:14:59,410 --> 00:15:02,200
Put like 200 % more effort into sort of
220
00:15:02,210 --> 00:15:05,360
thing. So like strengthening those areas really
221
00:15:05,370 --> 00:15:09,080
well is a really good starting point
because you at least have that to work
222
00:15:09,090 --> 00:15:17,930
off because it can be a wild journey to
just try and straight away do all genres.
223
00:15:18,730 --> 00:15:22,650
Yeah, it's like trying to learn all
languages in the world at once.
224
00:15:22,730 --> 00:15:24,930
It would just be pretty tough.
225
00:15:25,170 --> 00:15:28,170
Yeah, yeah, challenge is real.
226
00:15:28,780 --> 00:15:33,780
I have one last question for you and then
we'll be off to hearing your session.
227
00:15:34,140 --> 00:15:39,930
So we've been telling our UMC members on
their master classes that, you know, even
228
00:15:39,940 --> 00:15:46,940
if you weren't a top liner or like a
songwriter, it's really important.
229
00:15:47,890 --> 00:15:52,240
To be able to envision a clear direction
of a track as if you are also the
230
00:15:52,250 --> 00:15:58,480
songwriter and the top liner, and since
you are also the top liner, you are also
231
00:15:58,490 --> 00:16:00,170
songwriter and the top liner.
232
00:16:00,290 --> 00:16:02,600
So what advice, or maybe like your own
233
00:16:02,610 --> 00:16:08,920
experience, can you share about how to
build up a track by envisioning what kind
234
00:16:08,930 --> 00:16:13,050
of top lines or song it would after all
you know, become or?
235
00:16:14,340 --> 00:16:20,530
What kind of inspirations you get when
you try to build a track on envisioning a
236
00:16:20,540 --> 00:16:27,260
full song?
Yeah, well, there's different approaches.
237
00:16:27,340 --> 00:16:32,250
That's a really good question actually,
because there's definitely a system in my
238
00:16:32,260 --> 00:16:37,170
head, but I've never like, put that
system into words before.
239
00:16:37,180 --> 00:16:38,580
But like, I'll try.
240
00:16:40,140 --> 00:16:41,740
So yeah, depending on.
241
00:16:42,880 --> 00:16:46,830
What your, I guess like music theory
background is in terms of like how much
242
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,160
awareness of I guess like scribed music
you have sort of thing.
243
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:57,160
The way that I usually approach it is
that different groups have different
244
00:16:59,600 --> 00:17:01,790
vocal ranges.
So like different.
245
00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:08,310
Like for example if I'm working on
something for say like a boy group whose
246
00:17:08,319 --> 00:17:11,359
top note that they can sort of hit is
between E to F.
247
00:17:12,510 --> 00:17:18,380
Finding something like starting off in a
key in which either the tonic note or
248
00:17:18,390 --> 00:17:24,670
like your third or fifth hits, those sort
of like sweet spots are really helpful
249
00:17:25,270 --> 00:17:30,020
because what what will tend to happen if
you sort of if you just go from scratch.
250
00:17:30,030 --> 00:17:37,020
There's usually like a four like a four
key like difficulty range that like for
251
00:17:37,030 --> 00:17:42,430
me as a top liner where if I received
like a boy Group One and it's like.
252
00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:50,030
Say like a flat minor even like that
would be fairly challenging for me
253
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:57,390
because it's in a weirdly awkward spot to
find like sweet spots for so like, and
254
00:17:57,400 --> 00:17:59,310
that's just like honestly, even without
the theory.
255
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:03,470
So This is why I wanted to bring that up,
because even without the theory, we all
256
00:18:03,480 --> 00:18:07,510
create things obviously for mini and from
like keyboards in front of us or guitars,
257
00:18:07,520 --> 00:18:10,360
whichever respective instruments are.
258
00:18:11,070 --> 00:18:13,260
If you just go and listen to not even
259
00:18:13,270 --> 00:18:18,220
just the specific artists that you're
catering to, but other other other
260
00:18:18,230 --> 00:18:23,380
artists who have similar vocal ranges and
see and just listen to like what key the
261
00:18:23,390 --> 00:18:27,430
song's in and then also find out the
relationship in like the chorus notes
262
00:18:27,750 --> 00:18:33,740
there to give you an example, like like
there'll be some mid tempo songs that
263
00:18:33,750 --> 00:18:37,510
won't require you to belt the top end of
the key, right?
264
00:18:37,790 --> 00:18:39,070
So that makes that key.
265
00:18:39,390 --> 00:18:41,350
Like a different thing to think about
266
00:18:41,510 --> 00:18:47,060
than say like a like a full dance track
where the the vocals are really high, so
267
00:18:47,070 --> 00:18:49,820
you kind of just have to think about and
get used to.
268
00:18:49,830 --> 00:18:51,580
And again, this is like the fun part,
right?
269
00:18:51,590 --> 00:18:55,980
Because you get to just like listen to
music and be like, oh, all of like these
270
00:18:55,990 --> 00:18:59,270
three songs are in this key and these
three songs are in this key.
271
00:18:59,710 --> 00:19:03,590
And these are the vocal relationships
with the keys, if that makes sense.
272
00:19:03,750 --> 00:19:07,940
Because the moment you understand that
you're when you do pass it on to a top
273
00:19:07,950 --> 00:19:13,010
liner. You're at least giving them tracks with
274
00:19:13,370 --> 00:19:18,890
like I guess the right cordal structures
to give them the sweet spots to help them
275
00:19:19,410 --> 00:19:20,440
benefit your track.
276
00:19:20,450 --> 00:19:21,680
Because at the end of the day, the point
277
00:19:21,690 --> 00:19:27,160
of those collaborations is having a top
liner sort of bring your track to life
278
00:19:27,170 --> 00:19:30,800
and and having your track bring the
eventual top line to life as well.
279
00:19:30,810 --> 00:19:34,090
Like that's kind of like the point of
that back and forth relationship.
280
00:19:35,470 --> 00:19:37,270
That's amazing advice.
281
00:19:37,590 --> 00:19:39,870
That is so practical, yeah.
282
00:19:40,390 --> 00:19:47,180
And so it would always, you always, you
usually work on based on like a specific
283
00:19:47,190 --> 00:19:49,710
target, right, because of the leads that
you receive.
284
00:19:50,150 --> 00:19:55,660
And just having that specific target and
listening through their release music and
285
00:19:55,670 --> 00:20:00,740
what keys the artists are comfortable in,
that becomes a really good motivation and
286
00:20:00,750 --> 00:20:05,110
a starting point for you, right?
Absolutely yeah, there's always.
287
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:11,840
Again, like it's definitely gotten to a
point where like at the moment for me
288
00:20:11,850 --> 00:20:17,920
anyway, like I tend to like when when
leads come in, like I tend to just like
289
00:20:17,930 --> 00:20:25,160
look at the lead and find what the common
what what what things in common all the
290
00:20:25,170 --> 00:20:27,330
different reference songs have and find.
291
00:20:27,610 --> 00:20:29,240
I guess almost like my own references
292
00:20:29,250 --> 00:20:33,200
where I'm like, oh, this actually would
be really cool for this sort of thing as
293
00:20:33,210 --> 00:20:34,410
opposed because I'm like.
294
00:20:34,700 --> 00:20:36,530
Lead culture is interesting because lead
295
00:20:36,540 --> 00:20:42,090
culture is like if if the label is
sending out a lead of three songs for
296
00:20:42,100 --> 00:20:47,060
that artist, they're most likely going to
receive 500 versions of these three songs
297
00:20:47,380 --> 00:20:51,690
so so I guess like again this is kind of
goes into the personality thing that I
298
00:20:51,700 --> 00:20:55,370
was mentioning before like where if
you're able to implement your musical
299
00:20:55,380 --> 00:21:00,290
tastes into hybrid being what the lead is
asking for, that's really, really helpful
300
00:21:00,300 --> 00:21:02,180
because it automatically sort of.
301
00:21:02,580 --> 00:21:04,850
Divides what you create with, I guess
302
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:06,700
what they'll likely be sent.
303
00:21:07,660 --> 00:21:10,330
But always when creating there is a
304
00:21:10,340 --> 00:21:15,450
target artist, so that's where sort of
like the keys and stuff like that come
305
00:21:15,460 --> 00:21:19,450
from. That's a really good advice, amazing
306
00:21:19,460 --> 00:21:22,930
advice really honestly.
307
00:21:22,940 --> 00:21:25,130
Like even before, like even before
308
00:21:25,140 --> 00:21:31,050
actually starting a session, like, I'll
just sit there for like at least an hour
309
00:21:31,060 --> 00:21:32,460
just listening to.
310
00:21:32,650 --> 00:21:34,640
Songs and putting them into a little
311
00:21:34,650 --> 00:21:39,120
playlist that are like similar to the
references that I think, because I think
312
00:21:39,130 --> 00:21:42,610
the references are always trying to ask
you for something.
313
00:21:42,930 --> 00:21:45,880
You just gotta figure out what that like
what it is that they're actually looking
314
00:21:45,890 --> 00:21:47,650
for based on what they've given you.
315
00:21:48,810 --> 00:21:51,050
That is the main, the fun part because
316
00:21:51,170 --> 00:21:55,170
yeah, I mean I work with a lot of writers
and.
317
00:21:55,720 --> 00:22:01,990
Just deciphering the leads is really
actually difficult and it is because I
318
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:06,390
think it's more because of like a it's
like a cultural issue too.
319
00:22:06,400 --> 00:22:12,630
So there is this specific, it's not even
a genre, but there's this mood that like
320
00:22:12,640 --> 00:22:20,110
this culture the the Korean culture
really likes and it's called, it's just
321
00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:22,720
an example, but it's called like
Tongyang.
322
00:22:23,380 --> 00:22:28,370
And, you know, there is just no one word
in English that can fully describe the
323
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:29,660
essence of this meaning.
324
00:22:29,820 --> 00:22:31,690
And it's it's basically if you turn it
325
00:22:31,700 --> 00:22:33,540
into English, it's gonna be refreshing.
326
00:22:34,060 --> 00:22:35,810
But it's not just refreshing.
327
00:22:35,820 --> 00:22:37,740
It's like pure refreshing.
328
00:22:37,980 --> 00:22:39,930
Yeah, it, it's so it has the.
329
00:22:39,940 --> 00:22:46,980
It's a mix of like coolness, pure,
energetic, clean.
330
00:22:47,140 --> 00:22:51,500
It's like paradise.
331
00:22:52,420 --> 00:22:54,250
And you know it's just it's just like a
332
00:22:54,260 --> 00:22:59,610
mix of all these and and that's when you
put in the word fresh but that's when the
333
00:22:59,620 --> 00:23:04,700
word fresh kind of adds to that essence
of like that pure clean, energetic,
334
00:23:05,260 --> 00:23:09,690
powerful. But it needs to be like really angelic
335
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:13,010
almost and but it needs to sound cool at
the same time.
336
00:23:13,020 --> 00:23:16,100
So there's this like this vibe this is
one word.
337
00:23:16,600 --> 00:23:20,550
And it they use it for a lot of the
concepts for a lot of the boy groups
338
00:23:20,560 --> 00:23:27,910
especially in like the summertime and and
it's it's when they put that word in the
339
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:33,910
leads like Tonya and then if we if the
the translators have translated into we
340
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:40,270
want a refreshing pop it's just doesn't
through in the in the lead deciphery for
341
00:23:40,280 --> 00:23:44,710
foreign writers it's so hard for them to
get the the to grass the essence of it
342
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:49,180
so. I had once like sent our trainee members
343
00:23:49,190 --> 00:23:51,910
when they were actually working on that
kind of genre.
344
00:23:52,230 --> 00:23:58,620
I sent them a 2 hour playlist on YouTube
that fully just has that Tony Yang songs
345
00:23:58,630 --> 00:23:59,980
in it like for two hours.
346
00:23:59,990 --> 00:24:02,180
And I had them listen to every single
347
00:24:02,190 --> 00:24:05,870
song before they work on the the song on
top lining.
348
00:24:06,110 --> 00:24:11,430
So it's actually a really, really great
advice and a really, really good method
349
00:24:11,830 --> 00:24:15,910
before you guys start working on a track
based on just.
350
00:24:16,200 --> 00:24:17,510
One or two reference songs.
351
00:24:17,520 --> 00:24:19,750
So whenever we post up on the song
352
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:27,430
challenges, we always emphasize, don't
ever just start your song with like a
353
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:32,830
like a similar vibe of the first
reference song that's that's listed on
354
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:36,550
the references.
It's just that's just not what the labels
355
00:24:36,560 --> 00:24:41,720
want and just listening to your
perspective of like really.
356
00:24:42,440 --> 00:24:48,790
Merging yourself into the artist music
and all the reference musics, reference
357
00:24:48,800 --> 00:24:56,510
musics just just almost like like
spreading out like a spider web like you
358
00:24:56,520 --> 00:25:03,950
is is not just what it's here but you see
like what's other relevant sounds are you
359
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:09,160
know can work together and to adapt that
and then make it into your own.
360
00:25:09,740 --> 00:25:13,900
Just really great advice that I think the
UFC members really needed to hear.
361
00:25:14,180 --> 00:25:15,570
So thank you.
362
00:25:15,580 --> 00:25:18,770
Yeah, thank you absolutely i think like a
363
00:25:18,780 --> 00:25:22,850
legitimate example, actually like a
practical example to give you guys an
364
00:25:22,860 --> 00:25:26,660
example of sort of I guess this in
practice.
365
00:25:26,980 --> 00:25:33,300
There was a lead in February that was
asking for like my hair by Ariana Grande.
366
00:25:34,120 --> 00:25:40,910
And like a yeah, a song by this artist
named Hope Tyler, who's a UK r and b,
367
00:25:40,920 --> 00:25:42,160
artists really, really cool.
368
00:25:43,280 --> 00:25:45,600
And I think like one more reference and
369
00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,910
sort of, well, that's what they were
asking for.
370
00:25:48,920 --> 00:25:53,910
And then by I guess, like assessing that
and and figuring out what the common
371
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,710
denominators are in those songs.
372
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:59,190
I was like, well then if I, if I like put
373
00:25:59,200 --> 00:26:01,680
into a playlist sort of like kill Bill by
scissor.
374
00:26:02,440 --> 00:26:05,560
I like you by post Malone and ain't shit
by doja cat.
375
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:09,830
I'm somewhere in the ballpark, but it's
like something else.
376
00:26:09,840 --> 00:26:13,190
It's not the same as the lead, and
they're either gonna like that or they're
377
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:13,830
not gonna like that.
378
00:26:13,840 --> 00:26:16,000
But it means that you haven't sent them
379
00:26:16,240 --> 00:26:21,470
one of the other 500 carbon copies of my
hair by Ariana Grande, like.
380
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:26,750
And yeah, you just gotta figure out what
it is that you're like, even you wanna
381
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:29,760
make out of out of that lead, if that
makes sense.
382
00:26:30,400 --> 00:26:31,320
That's amazing.
383
00:26:31,930 --> 00:26:32,890
Thank you, Tim.
384
00:26:33,090 --> 00:26:38,810
That was a great interview time and I
think we can move on to your session now
385
00:26:39,250 --> 00:26:45,680
yay awesome yeah introduce the song that
you'll be showcasing and you can go ahead
386
00:26:45,690 --> 00:26:46,600
and screen share.
387
00:26:46,610 --> 00:26:48,770
Yeah, awesome.
388
00:26:49,530 --> 00:26:58,160
So I ended up running with, actually
ended up running with Cheshire, so yay, I
389
00:26:58,170 --> 00:26:59,290
thought that would be.
390
00:27:00,580 --> 00:27:01,730
Probably the one that makes the most
391
00:27:01,740 --> 00:27:03,890
sense. Do I have to?
392
00:27:03,900 --> 00:27:05,210
No, I don't have to click share sound, do
I?
393
00:27:05,220 --> 00:27:07,730
No, I think everybody knows that.
394
00:27:07,740 --> 00:27:12,660
So can you see everything?
395
00:27:13,580 --> 00:27:16,260
Yes yes lovely.
396
00:27:17,380 --> 00:27:21,290
So Papi asked me about this before he
397
00:27:21,300 --> 00:27:25,340
asked me if everything I work on is
disorganized and.
398
00:27:25,910 --> 00:27:30,220
Like I said, I said to both Moonjie and
puppy that usually no like everything
399
00:27:30,230 --> 00:27:32,950
else in my house is a complete atrocity.
400
00:27:33,630 --> 00:27:37,580
But like you just there's only so many
401
00:27:37,590 --> 00:27:40,940
times you can create a song and not know
where anything is before you start to
402
00:27:40,950 --> 00:27:43,500
organize things.
So I guess like the first thing is I'll
403
00:27:43,510 --> 00:27:51,340
collapse all of this right?
And essentially so I have a template that
404
00:27:51,350 --> 00:27:52,830
will start with.
405
00:27:52,910 --> 00:27:54,420
These here if I ever need to use them,
406
00:27:54,430 --> 00:27:55,500
which I never use them.
407
00:27:55,510 --> 00:27:57,430
They're just nice colors to look at now,
408
00:27:57,870 --> 00:28:02,660
but there's a drum folder always on Q
base, a base folder, instruments folder,
409
00:28:02,670 --> 00:28:04,590
effects folder, and a vocal folder.
410
00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:07,580
The vocal folder by default has the
411
00:28:07,590 --> 00:28:12,060
arrangement the way that my brain has
processed them, that's you don't
412
00:28:12,070 --> 00:28:16,060
necessarily have to do that, but this is
super easy because it means that anytime
413
00:28:16,070 --> 00:28:19,900
I'm loading anything in like a like an
effect sample or a drum sample, it just
414
00:28:19,910 --> 00:28:21,150
goes straight into the folder.
415
00:28:22,070 --> 00:28:24,180
Therefore slightly already organized and
416
00:28:24,190 --> 00:28:25,870
color-coded if that makes any sense.
417
00:28:26,070 --> 00:28:27,940
And then the bass and instruments folder
418
00:28:27,950 --> 00:28:35,860
usually has like 3 to 4 bass MIDI tracks
with like an eight oh eight going like a
419
00:28:35,870 --> 00:28:37,340
more serum sort of bass.
420
00:28:37,350 --> 00:28:39,230
And then one of like the Arturia basses.
421
00:28:40,430 --> 00:28:44,220
And then the instruments folder just has
20 like blank MIDI tracks.
422
00:28:44,230 --> 00:28:53,310
So that I can sort of get in there, yeah?
wow. Yeah, yeah.
423
00:28:53,320 --> 00:28:57,200
Could you?
We would love to hear the, the track
424
00:28:57,320 --> 00:29:06,190
first maybe maybe up to like first course
and then if you could like break it down
425
00:29:06,200 --> 00:29:09,880
and tell us like how you started the idea
and stuff, that would be great.
426
00:29:10,720 --> 00:29:12,510
Yeah, absolutely, I will.
427
00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,190
Do you want it with vocals or without
428
00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:19,800
vocals?
With vocals would be great awesome.
429
00:29:22,700 --> 00:29:25,170
Oh my gosh, guys, sorry.
430
00:29:25,180 --> 00:29:26,660
You get to listen to this.
431
00:29:27,820 --> 00:29:32,010
This is this is a huge privilege wow
thank you for doing this.
432
00:29:32,020 --> 00:29:37,570
Not gonna lie, the MVP for this, for this
demo is actually one of the
433
00:29:37,580 --> 00:29:44,490
collaborators, Josephine, who had sent
through this vocal stem for I guess the
434
00:29:44,500 --> 00:29:48,620
pretty much the hawk of the song is still
my favorite thing in the world.
435
00:29:56,730 --> 00:29:59,600
Like, she's like, like there's just so
much personality and what she had done.
436
00:29:59,610 --> 00:30:03,120
Yeah, which is so cool wow so that was
that was an example.
437
00:30:03,130 --> 00:30:05,930
That was like a no that was local
processing.
438
00:30:06,290 --> 00:30:11,560
Yeah, that was Josephine wow she's just,
I don't know yeah she's just got like a
439
00:30:11,570 --> 00:30:16,170
little bit of distortion in the lower
layers, but it's pretty.
440
00:30:16,290 --> 00:30:17,000
It's pretty just her.
441
00:30:17,010 --> 00:30:18,360
Like there's another one down here that
442
00:30:18,370 --> 00:30:20,520
I'll. Somewhere, yeah, here.
443
00:30:20,530 --> 00:30:21,840
Then I'll show you later as well.
444
00:30:21,850 --> 00:30:23,450
That is just wild.
445
00:30:23,730 --> 00:30:25,330
Like, yeah.
446
00:30:26,330 --> 00:30:28,680
So her personality really cuts through
447
00:30:28,690 --> 00:30:32,410
there, so I'll play it.
448
00:30:42,470 --> 00:30:43,980
Don't ever change me.
449
00:30:43,990 --> 00:30:44,580
I don't wait.
450
00:30:44,590 --> 00:30:45,580
No, don't.
451
00:30:45,590 --> 00:30:46,710
I don't need safety.
452
00:30:47,470 --> 00:30:48,790
Answer my own bait.
453
00:30:48,830 --> 00:30:50,230
Torture you for fun.
454
00:30:50,270 --> 00:30:51,540
And I ain't got a safe place.
455
00:30:51,550 --> 00:30:52,750
I'll be howling.
456
00:30:53,590 --> 00:30:56,140
I feel so powerful in my body.
457
00:30:56,150 --> 00:30:58,340
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
458
00:30:58,350 --> 00:30:59,140
My world.
459
00:30:59,150 --> 00:31:01,060
That's where I want to be called cash.
460
00:31:01,070 --> 00:31:04,260
Shaking up my mind, you know.
461
00:31:04,270 --> 00:31:06,460
Oh, wait, hold on.
462
00:31:06,470 --> 00:31:07,790
Are you guys hearing this?
463
00:31:42,210 --> 00:31:47,450
Like a three?
Yeah so that's how that song goes.
464
00:31:49,650 --> 00:31:52,480
It's all heard it, right?
Everybody's OK good.
465
00:31:52,490 --> 00:31:53,880
Ok. I got scared there.
466
00:31:53,890 --> 00:31:57,080
Second now cuz some people didn't get
467
00:31:57,090 --> 00:32:00,730
listened to.
Link, all right?
468
00:32:01,930 --> 00:32:05,520
No but but people heard it yeah i think
everybody heard it right yeah.
469
00:32:05,530 --> 00:32:08,490
Yeah, yeah wow so surprise.
470
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:12,180
I see the name Taylor Parks in the focus
471
00:32:12,260 --> 00:32:15,730
and I love her music so wow.
472
00:32:15,740 --> 00:32:18,330
I didn't know she participated well
473
00:32:18,340 --> 00:32:20,130
actually. So that's this is what.
474
00:32:20,140 --> 00:32:24,610
So I've got this these two tracks here
disabled for the time being because I'd
475
00:32:24,620 --> 00:32:26,450
like to show that's probably like one.
476
00:32:26,460 --> 00:32:29,370
I'm like if if I if if everyone can walk
477
00:32:29,380 --> 00:32:32,650
away with this like piece of knowledge by
the end of the session that I'm I'm very
478
00:32:32,660 --> 00:32:35,380
very happy.
But I I'll wait.
479
00:32:35,860 --> 00:32:36,890
I'll wait for that.
480
00:32:36,900 --> 00:32:40,370
That'll come in a second because this I
481
00:32:40,380 --> 00:32:44,490
think, yeah, that that's going to again
double down on like how important your
482
00:32:44,500 --> 00:32:48,810
personality is.
Like, I think like there's going to be a
483
00:32:48,820 --> 00:32:52,050
plethora of knowledge for everyone to
create music at the end of the day.
484
00:32:52,060 --> 00:32:55,730
And I think all of you are going to be
able to do that with however much time
485
00:32:55,740 --> 00:32:56,770
you put into it sort of thing.
486
00:32:56,780 --> 00:32:59,100
But the one thing that no one can sort of
487
00:32:59,260 --> 00:33:04,420
put into you is yourself, like, very
strange concept to think about, but like.
488
00:33:04,780 --> 00:33:09,810
How your instincts operate and sort of
like the decision making process that you
489
00:33:09,820 --> 00:33:15,650
make is, is always going to just be you
that that's always going to be like your
490
00:33:15,660 --> 00:33:17,740
biggest advantage if that makes any
sense.
491
00:33:19,500 --> 00:33:23,980
So I'll just go through I guess like
little bit by little bit of this.
492
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:30,660
So the session got drums, bass
instruments, affects all the vocals,
493
00:33:31,860 --> 00:33:35,910
anything. Production wise in Gray is what I had
494
00:33:35,920 --> 00:33:40,080
imported from because there was
additional production on this song from
495
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:44,840
Justin Reinstein, who's amazing and he
absolutely killed it.
496
00:33:45,280 --> 00:33:50,110
So anything that's actually grayed out in
the instruments related section is is all
497
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:50,880
from Justin.
498
00:33:51,960 --> 00:33:53,960
So I have him to thank for that stuff
499
00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,950
yeah how, what would you like to see
first?
500
00:33:57,960 --> 00:34:03,630
Can you please share how you started the
idea how how?
501
00:34:03,640 --> 00:34:09,600
What was it that started the inspiration
to write this?
502
00:34:10,199 --> 00:34:12,270
So the way that?
Honestly, the way the song would have
503
00:34:12,280 --> 00:34:14,790
started. I wonder if I've deleted those things or
504
00:34:14,800 --> 00:34:24,320
if I kept let me just re import a couple
of the less positive things about this.
505
00:34:26,239 --> 00:34:26,949
Again, I don't know.
506
00:34:26,960 --> 00:34:30,000
I don't know how many of you use Cubase,
507
00:34:30,360 --> 00:34:31,560
but Cubase is.
508
00:34:31,780 --> 00:34:32,969
Amazing for this stuff.
509
00:34:32,980 --> 00:34:33,860
That's right.
510
00:34:35,460 --> 00:34:38,940
It's gonna be Elijah.
511
00:34:39,380 --> 00:34:40,620
Let's convert, bro.
512
00:34:41,260 --> 00:34:41,929
We'll be there.
513
00:34:41,940 --> 00:34:42,900
Yeah, absolutely.
514
00:34:43,699 --> 00:34:45,409
What's Elijah currently on?
515
00:34:45,420 --> 00:34:49,940
All right, I'm one of, like, the three
people in the world who use Reaper.
516
00:34:51,100 --> 00:34:51,780
All right.
517
00:34:51,980 --> 00:34:53,690
Q Best is a good transition point from
518
00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:58,150
Reaper, actually.
No, it's QAS is a good transition point
519
00:34:58,160 --> 00:35:00,990
for anyone.
If anyone's in for a new door, it's got
520
00:35:01,000 --> 00:35:07,830
to be QAS yeah so essentially I yeah, I
don't think I'll be able to find that
521
00:35:07,840 --> 00:35:11,720
thing because I think I've completely,
like, it's somewhere in the cloud now.
522
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:17,710
But what I would have started with there
was a, I think one piano track that I had
523
00:35:17,720 --> 00:35:22,680
then copied the midis over to create like
a left hand, right hand only because
524
00:35:24,400 --> 00:35:27,960
there's a.
A little bit of a bounce, I guess to the
525
00:35:27,970 --> 00:35:30,480
part. So I wanted to be able to separate, I
526
00:35:30,490 --> 00:35:34,650
guess like volume wise, specifically what
they were doing.
527
00:35:35,770 --> 00:35:37,880
So I'll just mute the ones that are in
the song.
528
00:35:37,890 --> 00:35:44,130
So you started with a piano idea yeah so
this actually started off the song.
529
00:35:46,250 --> 00:35:49,250
It's funny because I think at the end of
the day.
530
00:35:51,240 --> 00:35:55,790
Like different songs require different
treatment of the elements that are there,
531
00:35:55,800 --> 00:35:59,350
right?
Like for example if you're working on
532
00:35:59,360 --> 00:36:08,590
something for say NCT working without the
central, sort of like the central like
533
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:10,070
grabby hook thing.
534
00:36:10,080 --> 00:36:11,990
Like for example like the wisp of the
535
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:14,860
flute. In sticker sort of thing, or like working
536
00:36:14,870 --> 00:36:20,820
with that, without that stuff it's really
hard to create an NCT song.
537
00:36:20,830 --> 00:36:24,620
So in terms of like order, if you're
working on something like that, finding
538
00:36:24,630 --> 00:36:29,580
that effective thing that runs I guess
through most of the song is super, super
539
00:36:29,590 --> 00:36:32,580
important. Whereas with stuff like itsy and stuff
540
00:36:32,590 --> 00:36:37,950
like twice and artists like like that, I
always find it's easier to find.
541
00:36:39,220 --> 00:36:42,970
A mood and sort of like what your chords
are doing and what's voicing your chords
542
00:36:42,980 --> 00:36:44,530
in this specific song first.
543
00:36:44,540 --> 00:36:46,690
Like something more melodic or chordy,
544
00:36:46,700 --> 00:36:49,530
right?
Yeah, something to give you like like the
545
00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:51,060
harmony of your song, I guess.
546
00:36:51,140 --> 00:36:54,340
I hope this isn't loud, but that's jyp's
547
00:36:54,500 --> 00:36:58,540
fault. He's just, he's just too into that stuff.
548
00:36:58,940 --> 00:37:04,330
He just loves his melodies yeah yeah so
I've got like a left hand piano that's
549
00:37:04,340 --> 00:37:08,060
doing if I just not like that and go
through.
550
00:37:09,190 --> 00:37:11,740
Sorry, that opens in the other window of
my computer.
551
00:37:11,750 --> 00:37:13,550
Let me drag that across.
552
00:37:16,830 --> 00:37:17,710
There you go.
553
00:37:18,470 --> 00:37:19,550
So this is like.
554
00:37:35,640 --> 00:37:49,110
So realistically the so they're
555
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:55,430
essentially doing like one piano part,
but like having the ability to separate
556
00:37:55,440 --> 00:37:59,790
them specifically to sort of get the
right balance of of bounce was really
557
00:37:59,800 --> 00:38:01,030
handy for this one in particular.
558
00:38:01,040 --> 00:38:02,320
So it's together they're just.
559
00:38:13,520 --> 00:38:16,720
Yeah, so that's like the piano part, the
main riff one.
560
00:38:17,280 --> 00:38:20,430
It's really interesting because
apparently I didn't want to do it with
561
00:38:20,440 --> 00:38:22,230
the right hand, and I've only just
noticed it now.
562
00:38:22,240 --> 00:38:23,390
Oh no, there we go.
563
00:38:23,400 --> 00:38:24,790
So I always like to do things like this,
564
00:38:24,800 --> 00:38:29,430
right?
Like most people playing piano are going
565
00:38:29,440 --> 00:38:32,720
to hit the keys at a different time, and
it's really funny.
566
00:38:33,170 --> 00:38:39,010
Even like the more you listen to piano
parts in songs and learning, I guess how
567
00:38:39,050 --> 00:38:44,920
pianos are played, sort of thing helps
sort of deliver something that is less
568
00:38:44,930 --> 00:38:47,040
mechanical, which is really important.
569
00:38:47,050 --> 00:38:49,920
I think. Again, like K Pop is, is, is, is
570
00:38:49,930 --> 00:38:54,960
a genre full of like, liveliness and full
of energy and sort of being able to like
571
00:38:54,970 --> 00:38:56,920
articulate things in that way.
572
00:38:56,930 --> 00:38:57,810
It's really.
573
00:38:58,080 --> 00:39:01,030
It takes a little while cuz I don't like
doing there's like an automated way that
574
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:05,590
you can do it in most doors but it
doesn't.
575
00:39:05,600 --> 00:39:08,030
So you didn't play it you you.
576
00:39:08,040 --> 00:39:09,190
No I can't play piano.
577
00:39:09,200 --> 00:39:11,070
I grew up playing guitar and guitars.
578
00:39:11,080 --> 00:39:12,160
My like instrument.
579
00:39:12,320 --> 00:39:16,350
No, I was gonna say you you sound like a
piano player the way you played it.
580
00:39:16,360 --> 00:39:18,310
The way you've like placed those nose.
581
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:20,080
But like wow, that's crazy.
582
00:39:20,560 --> 00:39:25,400
No I I literally like I can I can play
you chords on a piano.
583
00:39:26,290 --> 00:39:29,920
If you ask for the chord and I have one
second to think about it.
584
00:39:29,930 --> 00:39:32,290
I can't play a part sort of thing.
585
00:39:32,770 --> 00:39:35,010
Definitely know the core progressions
586
00:39:35,130 --> 00:39:40,040
like because of your guitar playing right
yeah so and and and with the piano side
587
00:39:40,050 --> 00:39:42,920
like I know my way around the keyboard,
but I can't.
588
00:39:42,930 --> 00:39:47,720
I don't have the same what is it it's
like like for guitar for me at this point
589
00:39:47,730 --> 00:39:48,560
is like a reflex.
590
00:39:48,570 --> 00:39:50,760
Like yeah there's no thought that's going
591
00:39:50,770 --> 00:39:53,890
into it that's i'm so far away from that
with piano.
592
00:39:54,330 --> 00:39:55,280
But one day.
593
00:39:55,290 --> 00:39:56,090
One day.
594
00:39:56,920 --> 00:40:01,510
So because I don't play, my job is
extremely hard because I have to actually
595
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:02,880
create these discrepancies.
596
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:06,790
But if you don't play piano, then I would
597
00:40:06,800 --> 00:40:10,310
say it's worth creating these
discrepancies and just sort of, I guess,
598
00:40:10,320 --> 00:40:12,830
like learning.
Because ballads, you're going to want to
599
00:40:12,840 --> 00:40:14,000
have more separation.
600
00:40:14,440 --> 00:40:15,830
And then with pop songs you're going to
601
00:40:15,840 --> 00:40:19,430
want to have like less separation and
stuff like that and finding creative ways
602
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:20,640
of doing that as well.
603
00:40:21,880 --> 00:40:24,840
What makes it any piano that you need?
604
00:40:25,210 --> 00:40:25,880
Just let me know.
605
00:40:25,890 --> 00:40:28,370
I'm totally down bro.
606
00:40:28,610 --> 00:40:29,960
I'm glad.
607
00:40:29,970 --> 00:40:32,520
I'm glad I know that cuz that would save
608
00:40:32,530 --> 00:40:34,850
me. That would save me so much time.
609
00:40:35,690 --> 00:40:39,130
And then like that piano also exists
through the pre chorus.
610
00:41:02,030 --> 00:41:06,860
Ending on the diminished chord that leads
into like the sixth minor chord of
611
00:41:06,870 --> 00:41:07,860
whatever the chorus is.
612
00:41:07,870 --> 00:41:09,260
It's like a habit that I need to start
613
00:41:09,270 --> 00:41:10,350
getting out of.
614
00:41:11,460 --> 00:41:13,050
I just I I got I've got myself in that
615
00:41:13,060 --> 00:41:17,410
habit a lot and I and it's so hard to
want to hear anything else in the pre
616
00:41:17,420 --> 00:41:22,740
chorus so true like the altered secondary
dominant 5 right.
617
00:41:22,900 --> 00:41:27,730
Yeah exactly into the one yeah exactly
yeah going into yeah going into your one
618
00:41:27,740 --> 00:41:32,770
or or your six depending on how you
that's the other thing like my the way
619
00:41:32,780 --> 00:41:37,610
that I think about key centers now is so
broken because everything is major to me
620
00:41:37,620 --> 00:41:41,220
in the sense that like if I like.
621
00:41:41,390 --> 00:41:43,140
If I like, I don't work in the minor key
622
00:41:43,150 --> 00:41:44,260
center in the circle of this.
623
00:41:44,270 --> 00:41:46,220
Like I work in in major in the sense that
624
00:41:46,230 --> 00:41:52,500
like say if the songs in C major, it's a
minor to me because it's in the six, if
625
00:41:52,510 --> 00:41:53,060
that makes sense.
626
00:41:53,070 --> 00:41:55,100
So I'm always thinking like the six is
627
00:41:55,110 --> 00:41:58,390
your resolve, which is very, very broken.
628
00:41:58,910 --> 00:42:00,350
Don't let it get to that point.
629
00:42:01,790 --> 00:42:02,620
But then yeah.
630
00:42:02,630 --> 00:42:05,220
And then it kind of just, yeah, kind of
631
00:42:05,230 --> 00:42:07,670
just continues doing its thing.
632
00:42:09,800 --> 00:42:11,350
In terms what else would be interesting
633
00:42:11,360 --> 00:42:19,670
in this, you know, I would love to see
how you've layered different sounds to
634
00:42:19,680 --> 00:42:22,390
that piano.
Like you know all the other instruments
635
00:42:22,400 --> 00:42:31,190
that you you've filled with like the bass
and the drums in the verse section yeah
636
00:42:31,200 --> 00:42:35,910
well this is, this is a really unique
scenario I think because there's not a
637
00:42:35,920 --> 00:42:41,100
lot of.
Like that piano carries a lot of what's
638
00:42:41,110 --> 00:42:45,900
going on.
And then at different stages, different
639
00:42:45,910 --> 00:42:49,420
things got added to, sort of like, this
is again one of my favorite things,
640
00:42:49,430 --> 00:42:51,980
right?
So Josephine had a vocal stack here in
641
00:42:51,990 --> 00:42:53,550
the second verse that I'll mute.
642
00:42:56,110 --> 00:42:58,660
But it kind of goes like this, like a
643
00:42:58,670 --> 00:42:59,710
two, like a three.
644
00:42:59,790 --> 00:43:00,660
I've got them all.
645
00:43:00,670 --> 00:43:01,180
Look at me.
646
00:43:01,190 --> 00:43:02,710
I feel so free.
647
00:43:02,990 --> 00:43:04,630
You don't know what I need.
648
00:43:04,670 --> 00:43:07,030
You only find a girl like me so.
649
00:43:07,610 --> 00:43:09,760
Okay, actually that's probably a good
point to note.
650
00:43:09,770 --> 00:43:14,840
I like playing around with I think.
651
00:43:14,850 --> 00:43:17,720
I think something that I had learned
652
00:43:17,730 --> 00:43:22,410
maybe like three years ago that I've
really tried to sort of like really
653
00:43:22,730 --> 00:43:27,440
embody is some like finding a way to
remove things is a lot easier than
654
00:43:27,450 --> 00:43:28,650
finding a way to add.
655
00:43:29,410 --> 00:43:31,410
Sorry, is a lot better than trying to.
656
00:43:31,750 --> 00:43:33,030
Add things all the time.
657
00:43:33,270 --> 00:43:35,300
So like if you start off with say that's
658
00:43:35,310 --> 00:43:39,940
why I I like to start with choruses
because I guess when you when you sort of
659
00:43:39,950 --> 00:43:43,990
start with your destination you can work
backwards from there as opposed to
660
00:43:44,230 --> 00:43:48,620
starting with like a verse that's here
and then having to incrementally try and
661
00:43:48,630 --> 00:43:49,710
top it each time.
662
00:43:50,550 --> 00:43:52,100
So like for example this second verse is
663
00:43:52,110 --> 00:43:59,660
literally it starts off with the eight oh
eight the, hook sample and the just the
664
00:43:59,670 --> 00:44:00,790
left hand of the piano.
665
00:44:01,270 --> 00:44:05,380
So it's like, oh God damn, like a two.
666
00:44:05,390 --> 00:44:06,270
Like a three.
667
00:44:06,390 --> 00:44:07,220
I've got them all.
668
00:44:07,230 --> 00:44:08,180
Look at me.
669
00:44:08,190 --> 00:44:08,980
I feel so free.
670
00:44:08,990 --> 00:44:11,390
You don't know what I need.
671
00:44:15,630 --> 00:44:17,300
And then that way, like different things
672
00:44:17,310 --> 00:44:18,820
can come in and out, sort of cute things.
673
00:44:18,830 --> 00:44:20,220
So it's just like, it's literally just
674
00:44:20,230 --> 00:44:25,830
that. It's very minimal, but it's so full.
675
00:44:32,380 --> 00:44:33,650
And the left hand comes back in.
676
00:44:33,660 --> 00:44:36,650
But my favorite part of this section is,
677
00:44:36,660 --> 00:44:41,610
so Josephine had sent through this like,
vocal thing and you'll feel it now the
678
00:44:41,620 --> 00:44:50,900
second time around wow.
679
00:44:58,840 --> 00:45:00,390
And it's just, it's just stuff like that
680
00:45:00,400 --> 00:45:05,150
where with the original track that was
never, that was never there.
681
00:45:05,160 --> 00:45:08,910
And then like your collaborator sends you
this ridiculous stack of vocals and
682
00:45:08,920 --> 00:45:11,840
you're like, cool, that's like half the
job done.
683
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,730
It's like when you have one of those
sections, it's like.
684
00:45:25,740 --> 00:45:28,970
You don't want to add too many
instruments, you know you want those
685
00:45:28,980 --> 00:45:31,460
vocals to shine, absolutely.
686
00:45:31,900 --> 00:45:33,770
And honestly, like honestly, one of my
687
00:45:33,780 --> 00:45:40,330
advice is to anyone in here who might not
sing or or might not be a top liner
688
00:45:40,340 --> 00:45:43,820
themselves. Befriend people who sing.
689
00:45:44,340 --> 00:45:49,170
Because I think probably the the biggest
learning curve for most producers for
690
00:45:49,180 --> 00:45:51,660
KPOP specifically and probably like the
most.
691
00:45:52,200 --> 00:45:55,710
Unforgiving part of the journey is is
recording vocals and being able to
692
00:45:55,720 --> 00:45:59,200
present the vocals in a way that sounds
like the song's done.
693
00:46:00,440 --> 00:46:06,070
I know that in a lot of Western my
experience with like like American Music
694
00:46:06,080 --> 00:46:08,400
and and like Australian music and stuff
like that.
695
00:46:09,480 --> 00:46:14,670
In terms of the demo creating process,
there's always this like demo phase in in
696
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:17,470
the Western world where it's like, oh,
here's the song demo and here are the
697
00:46:17,480 --> 00:46:19,520
demo vocals and all this sort of stuff.
698
00:46:20,070 --> 00:46:21,740
Demos in Korea are like this is the
699
00:46:21,750 --> 00:46:23,980
finished song.
Please send it to me sort of thing like
700
00:46:23,990 --> 00:46:26,300
it's a very different yeah.
701
00:46:26,310 --> 00:46:27,860
And it's really it's it's the hardest
702
00:46:27,870 --> 00:46:32,300
part because it makes everything takes so
much longer and and and consume so much
703
00:46:32,310 --> 00:46:33,390
more of your energy.
704
00:46:33,990 --> 00:46:35,380
But it's just something to get used to
705
00:46:35,390 --> 00:46:40,070
because it's at the moment you're relying
on like am I yelling?
706
00:46:40,230 --> 00:46:43,220
I'm i'm really not used to headphones no
no no.
707
00:46:43,230 --> 00:46:45,070
Your voice sounds great right now.
708
00:46:46,330 --> 00:46:48,360
So yeah, the moment you're relying on
709
00:46:48,370 --> 00:46:54,760
like an A and R's like imagination,
you're doing yourself like a disservice.
710
00:46:54,770 --> 00:46:59,410
So like if you sing great, record
yourself as much as you can and sort of
711
00:46:59,970 --> 00:47:02,880
learn to to work with vocals as much as
you can.
712
00:47:02,890 --> 00:47:07,880
If you don't sing, find singer friends
who will like to come to the studio and
713
00:47:07,890 --> 00:47:12,480
record vocal ideas for you because it's
like it's really handy and it's I think
714
00:47:12,490 --> 00:47:16,170
for for producers who don't sing, it's
it's hard to get that practice in.
715
00:47:16,370 --> 00:47:22,240
Again, I was like lucky because like I
was in a band and I I got into recording
716
00:47:22,250 --> 00:47:24,320
music by recording my band.
717
00:47:24,330 --> 00:47:25,440
And like, that was the whole point of it
718
00:47:25,450 --> 00:47:28,330
at the start of the journey.
719
00:47:29,450 --> 00:47:30,880
But I know that, yeah, from Piers and
720
00:47:30,890 --> 00:47:31,850
stuff like that.
721
00:47:32,610 --> 00:47:35,080
I think everyone wishes they had that
722
00:47:35,090 --> 00:47:40,600
singing friend that you can almost turn
on like a plugin yeah so stuff like that.
723
00:47:40,610 --> 00:47:45,450
Because the the collaboration part is
like Super, Super, super important.
724
00:47:46,310 --> 00:47:52,350
Drum wise, like it's actually, which is
really funny because drum is so simple,
725
00:47:52,630 --> 00:47:56,380
but it's so simple yeah and it's not,
this is not a common thing.
726
00:47:56,390 --> 00:48:03,300
So I'm, I do apologize in the sense that
it's probably a more minimal session than
727
00:48:03,310 --> 00:48:07,110
usual. Is that my?
728
00:48:15,910 --> 00:48:17,620
Some songs started playing on my Spotify.
729
00:48:17,630 --> 00:48:19,310
I have no idea how or why.
730
00:48:19,830 --> 00:48:20,790
I'm so sorry.
731
00:48:22,390 --> 00:48:25,060
Yeah, so this, this, this arrangement is
732
00:48:25,070 --> 00:48:30,900
like fairly straightforward, but there's
like the main kick drum.
733
00:48:30,910 --> 00:48:35,820
So I've got this anything drum wise that
I have for for the kick that has a D next
734
00:48:35,830 --> 00:48:35,980
to it.
735
00:48:35,990 --> 00:48:37,870
In my head it's just a side chain track
736
00:48:37,950 --> 00:48:41,310
so it's literally just like a zeroed out.
737
00:48:41,350 --> 00:48:43,180
Sending to other instruments to create
738
00:48:43,190 --> 00:48:44,620
space, which I'll get to in a second as
well.
739
00:48:44,630 --> 00:48:45,950
Interesting, yeah.
740
00:48:46,590 --> 00:48:49,420
But there's basically a kick drum, which
741
00:48:49,430 --> 00:48:50,940
is super foreign to me now.
742
00:48:50,950 --> 00:48:52,780
Like, I don't know what the last song I
743
00:48:52,790 --> 00:48:58,550
would have worked on that would have had
that, because this demo was made March
744
00:48:59,110 --> 00:49:03,150
2022 March last year.
745
00:49:04,910 --> 00:49:07,140
So even this for me is like a trip back
746
00:49:07,150 --> 00:49:09,070
into memory lane of sorts.
747
00:49:09,500 --> 00:49:10,930
Pre Chorus is interesting because Justin
748
00:49:10,940 --> 00:49:15,090
added some like drum rolls that were
really cool, so I'd remove some stuff to
749
00:49:15,100 --> 00:49:16,780
fit space in again.
750
00:49:18,220 --> 00:49:21,210
Try to keep in check whilst you're adding
751
00:49:21,220 --> 00:49:23,180
elements to appropriately.
752
00:49:23,420 --> 00:49:25,250
Also remove elements to let the things
753
00:49:25,260 --> 00:49:29,930
you're adding really come to life because
there's this like marching drum thing
754
00:49:29,940 --> 00:49:33,060
that like Justin Reinstein had sent my
way.
755
00:49:39,600 --> 00:49:42,710
Which in context to the rest of the song
felt really cool.
756
00:49:42,720 --> 00:49:46,470
So I sort of like removed all the other
stuff from the the pre chorus to make
757
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:47,440
space with that.
758
00:49:49,800 --> 00:49:52,390
Because if not, yeah, it's just that rim
759
00:49:52,400 --> 00:50:17,610
shot wow and then like.
760
00:50:18,240 --> 00:50:24,120
There's stuff here as well, so it's just
761
00:50:24,440 --> 00:50:40,400
archerious keys sort of backing out the
piano by this time.
762
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,110
So they sort of work really well together
actually.
763
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:59,950
That's the huge thing that was in there
as well, these plucks, you know, it seems
764
00:50:59,960 --> 00:51:05,950
like you really like, or at least for
this song at least the the snare sounds
765
00:51:05,960 --> 00:51:10,990
really like organic, like authentic
sounding samples instead of like hard
766
00:51:11,000 --> 00:51:13,080
hitting ones yeah.
767
00:51:14,210 --> 00:51:16,520
Is that like one of your kind of like
768
00:51:16,530 --> 00:51:20,890
trademark thing or is it just something
that you felt for this song?
769
00:51:21,490 --> 00:51:26,040
I think like I think in in nine months
time you'll you'll find out.
770
00:51:26,050 --> 00:51:28,600
But like I think it's getting so much
worse.
771
00:51:28,610 --> 00:51:32,120
Like I keep, I keep going to like
different like cash.
772
00:51:32,130 --> 00:51:36,320
So Cashmere has a lot of a lot of samples
and I would recommend is actually going
773
00:51:36,330 --> 00:51:39,290
through samples that aren't snares and
making them stare sonically.
774
00:51:39,570 --> 00:51:43,850
Yeah, so like precautions and yeah it's
become this like weird.
775
00:51:44,130 --> 00:51:49,090
Bad addiction thing where it's like
literally finding like different, like
776
00:51:49,330 --> 00:51:55,240
whether it be like tribal hits or like
wood blocks, cowbells, like in the last I
777
00:51:55,250 --> 00:51:56,890
would say two months alone.
778
00:51:58,610 --> 00:52:00,840
There's some like weird things that now
779
00:52:00,850 --> 00:52:01,800
take place as stares.
780
00:52:01,810 --> 00:52:05,040
For me like this is fairly tame, but like
781
00:52:05,050 --> 00:52:08,120
I'll show you like I guess what you would
have been referring to.
782
00:52:08,130 --> 00:52:09,370
That's a great idea.
783
00:52:10,020 --> 00:52:10,530
Yeah, there's this.
784
00:52:10,540 --> 00:52:13,770
So there's so much, because a lot of them
flam as well, right?
785
00:52:13,780 --> 00:52:18,370
So you get like 2 transients and you get
that like nice, like almost like cluck,
786
00:52:18,380 --> 00:52:22,130
sort of like thing that you wouldn't
normally get out of, just like a normal
787
00:52:22,140 --> 00:52:24,300
stare unless you flam the snare.
788
00:52:26,540 --> 00:52:28,410
But yeah, like this one's just like a rim
789
00:52:28,420 --> 00:52:34,060
shot. And then the rest of it stacks in.
790
00:52:35,200 --> 00:52:37,790
That's also probably what you're talking
about, where that actually sounds like
791
00:52:37,800 --> 00:52:38,350
the top of it.
792
00:52:38,360 --> 00:52:39,390
That's the one really.
793
00:52:39,400 --> 00:52:40,240
Like, yeah.
794
00:52:40,760 --> 00:52:43,120
So it's literally just that yeah.
795
00:52:48,200 --> 00:52:52,280
But yeah, no, this is fairly like snarry
for.
796
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:56,950
Yeah, the last two months have been wild
where it's like, I've just found a whole
797
00:52:56,960 --> 00:53:00,880
bunch of just like, other objects that
aren't snares.
798
00:53:01,450 --> 00:53:05,520
That I've just decided that now, snares,
that is a really good idea because, like,
799
00:53:05,530 --> 00:53:08,410
you're always gonna come up with
something really different.
800
00:53:09,050 --> 00:53:12,880
It's not gonna sound like snare, you
know, because a lot of times, like, I
801
00:53:12,890 --> 00:53:17,640
spent so much time trying to make a
unique snare sound or trying to find a
802
00:53:17,650 --> 00:53:19,130
unique snare sound.
803
00:53:19,610 --> 00:53:22,320
And then you're like, play it after like
804
00:53:22,330 --> 00:53:25,200
12 hours and like, oh, it's not that
unique.
805
00:53:25,210 --> 00:53:29,930
It's still just the snare, you know?
Well, exactly like.
806
00:53:30,590 --> 00:53:34,460
There's like, I think we've gotten to a
point now where snares are always going
807
00:53:34,470 --> 00:53:39,580
to be snares and you'll always have A use
for snares like you'll always be able to
808
00:53:39,590 --> 00:53:41,900
use them.
So anything like hip hoppy or anything
809
00:53:41,910 --> 00:53:48,380
like super track sounding or anything
that feels experimental, not using a
810
00:53:48,390 --> 00:53:55,780
snare automatically creates that divide
between that and yeah it's it's fun to
811
00:53:55,790 --> 00:53:57,030
use that tip.
812
00:53:57,110 --> 00:54:00,270
That's yeah, that's really valuable tip.
813
00:54:02,070 --> 00:54:04,630
And then there's this one.
814
00:54:05,750 --> 00:54:06,340
Yeah, cool.
815
00:54:06,350 --> 00:54:16,860
So the main base in the chorus actually
is a mixture of, which would have been, I
816
00:54:16,870 --> 00:54:20,300
would recommend arturia a lot because
arturia gives you a lot of because I
817
00:54:20,310 --> 00:54:24,150
think like serum and stuff like that is a
really amazing for very specific things.
818
00:54:24,310 --> 00:54:27,320
But there's a it's very easy to end up.
819
00:54:27,330 --> 00:54:29,280
Being like really, really electronic the
820
00:54:29,290 --> 00:54:35,160
whole time sort of thing, whereas a lot
of the arturia stuff gives you a really
821
00:54:35,170 --> 00:54:43,440
diverse range of I guess like warmer
sounding analog, yeah, soft sense and
822
00:54:43,450 --> 00:54:50,290
then so with the arturia stuff you're
able to sort of get like a bit more of a
823
00:54:51,370 --> 00:54:55,120
broken timber.
Like you can you can literally hear the
824
00:54:55,130 --> 00:55:00,800
chorus over the ground noise from it's
like noise simulation man.
825
00:55:00,810 --> 00:55:05,400
I used to use arteria like 10 years ago
and I stopped using it.
826
00:55:05,410 --> 00:55:11,640
But wow, I would I would revisit dude
like totally like most of my bases now
827
00:55:11,650 --> 00:55:16,320
are coming out of the mini in arteria
that or like if you for anyone who uses
828
00:55:16,330 --> 00:55:20,850
uad, uad have a really really good mini
one as well which.
829
00:55:21,330 --> 00:55:23,880
Which one do you like to use for bass in
arterial?
830
00:55:23,890 --> 00:55:28,490
Cuz there's a whole collection of the
different sin sounds.
831
00:55:29,050 --> 00:55:32,720
The, the one I most commonly use out of
arterial for bass at the moment is the
832
00:55:32,730 --> 00:55:35,040
the mini, which is kind of like it's the
the the mood.
833
00:55:35,050 --> 00:55:40,880
Yeah yeah yeah simulation and there's a
lot like I'll show you this one.
834
00:55:40,890 --> 00:55:46,890
Actually I keep forgetting that the midis
are still here, so let me.
835
00:55:51,820 --> 00:55:53,100
Open and solo that.
836
00:55:53,340 --> 00:55:53,970
That's loud.
837
00:55:53,980 --> 00:55:56,980
That means yeah let's not do that to
everyone.
838
00:56:01,420 --> 00:56:15,400
Yeah, so essentially I can't actually use
my shortcuts so I never use shortcuts.
839
00:56:15,410 --> 00:56:19,760
So I would heavily recommend using
shortcuts and learning your shortcuts cuz
840
00:56:19,770 --> 00:56:21,290
it makes life a lot easier.
841
00:56:22,070 --> 00:56:24,070
I put in number pads for me.
842
00:56:24,790 --> 00:56:26,790
Oh, that's super one through 8.
843
00:56:27,030 --> 00:56:27,540
That's super.
844
00:56:27,550 --> 00:56:28,180
Really helpful.
845
00:56:28,190 --> 00:56:30,820
I'm just gonna move this zoomy thing over
846
00:56:30,830 --> 00:56:33,510
here because I can't actually see my
toolbar at all.
847
00:56:35,030 --> 00:56:35,860
There we go.
848
00:56:35,870 --> 00:56:36,340
That's better.
849
00:56:36,350 --> 00:56:37,990
All right.
850
00:56:38,110 --> 00:56:43,350
So that's essentially that synth.
851
00:56:44,230 --> 00:56:45,870
Oh, you tweaked quite a bit.
852
00:56:50,220 --> 00:56:51,450
So this was actually the Juno.
853
00:56:51,460 --> 00:56:52,780
So I was wrong yeah.
854
00:56:53,140 --> 00:56:54,500
Where's the Juno gone?
855
00:56:55,620 --> 00:56:58,530
Sorry i tried to do this thing where I
could have the zoom screen open at the
856
00:56:58,540 --> 00:57:03,530
same time as the Cubase screen, but this
it's just causing a whole bunch of
857
00:57:03,540 --> 00:57:05,980
problems rather than helping anything.
858
00:57:07,940 --> 00:57:08,940
Yeah, there we go.
859
00:57:11,380 --> 00:57:14,250
So this is what this is, a habit that I'm
into.
860
00:57:14,260 --> 00:57:17,330
I'm not sure if it's actually helpful or
not, or if it's not helpful at all, but
861
00:57:17,340 --> 00:57:21,870
like. Every time I am like, I play around with
862
00:57:21,880 --> 00:57:25,800
a preset of some sort and create like I
guess like a new sound out of it.
863
00:57:25,840 --> 00:57:29,310
I'll always do a save as and put TT next
to it.
864
00:57:29,320 --> 00:57:31,230
That's that's my name.
865
00:57:31,240 --> 00:57:35,110
And that way I could like I can always
866
00:57:35,120 --> 00:57:38,350
find things that I've used before and
then further alter them if I need, but it
867
00:57:38,360 --> 00:57:39,560
just makes it really easy.
868
00:57:40,680 --> 00:57:41,910
But yeah, that's like basically that
869
00:57:41,920 --> 00:57:54,520
sound. Tt Sound Bank, that's the one we need.
870
00:57:56,040 --> 00:57:58,520
So that essentially turned into this
right.
871
00:57:59,600 --> 00:58:03,360
Which has a bunch of Q based distortion
on it.
872
00:58:04,320 --> 00:58:10,190
But the reason being actually is yeah
this is I'm just gonna if you give me a
873
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,720
SEC I'm just gonna switch so that
everything's on one screen.
874
00:58:13,720 --> 00:58:16,310
So that everyone can properly see the
plugins and stuff.
875
00:58:16,320 --> 00:58:17,960
Cuz I'm getting to that point.
876
00:58:19,160 --> 00:58:20,680
How many screens do you use?
877
00:58:22,160 --> 00:58:29,750
Honestly I usually have the like 1 screen
going, but I've got like the external
878
00:58:29,760 --> 00:58:33,600
monitor but it's just doing a bigger
version of what's already there I guess.
879
00:58:34,720 --> 00:58:37,950
So in this scenario I tried to separate
them thinking that would be easier, but
880
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:40,800
now everything's just loading up on a
completely different screen.
881
00:58:41,800 --> 00:58:43,270
So you'll just have to give me a moment.
882
00:58:43,280 --> 00:58:45,240
Sorry, I use 4 screens.
883
00:58:45,440 --> 00:58:50,470
It's definitely overkill, but I use every
single one of them yeah wow, that is
884
00:58:50,480 --> 00:58:53,880
crazy. 4 screens is wild to me.
885
00:58:55,560 --> 00:58:56,270
Let me.
886
00:58:56,280 --> 00:58:58,910
I'm gonna do a new share of the desktop
887
00:58:58,920 --> 00:58:58,930
now.
