Thoughts?

And so is owning an amp.

Beato is as superficial as it gets.

Jumping onto this, Adam Neely's stuff is interesting enough to watch, primarily from the perspective of a jazz outsider

for every guy on youtube posting bleeps and tutorial videos there are many musicians actually using synths for their intended purpose, which is creative expression, and a lot of them make great music. modular tends to be an exception because the barrier to entry is so high that only people with day jobs or semi-successful musicians can afford them.

Most of the songs of his videos look the same

wtf are you talking about? He has videos dedicated to how to use each mode of the harmonic minor scale. That's pretty in-depth compared to 12 Tone or Michael New (which for some reason remain the only two theory channels in the /prod/ pastebin even though the former isn't even really pedagogical).

do you remember that youtube guy who was the most popular synth reviewer and had dozens of synts throughout his reviewing career
he said that hoarding hardware is the worst thing that can happen to a musician
youtube.com/watch?v=R-b0mEdEfFk

yeah, thats the """incredible""" you made with the help of his 100 synths :)

"""incredible"""" music i meant to write. im really tired

>He has videos dedicated to how to use each mode of the harmonic minor scale. That's pretty in-depth
lol

seems like a nice guy. I'd say most of his beats are better than most other youtube musicians, but pretty meh outside of the context.

>people with day jobs
Right where it hurts. I'll retire one day. *shakes fist*

I'll take that as the nervous laughter of someone looking for an argument.

Do you actually think it's in any way different from learning the modes of any other scale? Are you one of those people that fail to understand how a scale works on a conceptual level and can only conceive of music in purely mechanistic terms?

No I don't but I think having videos dedicated to each mode of a scale and other modes that aren't the church modes is pretty in-depth.

He's pretty entertaining and his videos are pretty good, and he seems like a genuinely nice dude.

It's not. If you want in depth, we'd be talking about the construction of scales, their derivations, augmentations and function.

Is this wongene daniel kim

You're just making shit up that you heard. Scales aren't "augmented" chords and intervals are. What a fuckin' argumentative turkey.

You have a cursory knowledge of basic theory. The fact that you believe there is a qualitative difference in the application of two subsets of diatonic modes speaks volumes about your abilities.

Suggested remedial reading:
"On the Sensations of Tone" - H. Helmholtz
"Psychoacoustics: Facts and Models" - E. Zwicker & H. Fastl
"Tuning, Timbre, Spectrum, Scale" - W.A. Sethares

>muh modes
no one uses this word outside of academic circles, an no one should.

>The fact that you believe there is a qualitative difference in the application of two subsets of diatonic modes speaks volumes about your abilities.

Boring. Him and all music tutorial producers fucking suck at actually making cohesive and well thought out music that isn't completely soulless. Adam Neely is pure cancer.

Based. If you want to learn how to make good music you learn from an actual composer. Someone like Jjayberthume.

Adam Neely and Jacob Collier disagree

You know this pics of blowjobs where they photoshop out the dicks for laughs? Why does this guy have a mouth that perpetually looks like that?

Jacob has never really went in-depth with anything he does. Every time he talks about any of his allegedly groundbreaking concepts he always explains it half-assedly with some sort of "It feels emotionally gratifying" conjecture shit. The kid clearly has chops, but he can't articulate any of them in a practical manner. Adam is a pretty good educator though.

I hope he gets elected desu

>His vids are mostly commercials for gear I can't afford.
I wonder if the gear manufacturers pay him to do this shite

True. I wonder why that is? Are these people fucking NPCs or sth.? I don't get it. They should have the know-how to make good music, but appearently they have no soul.

here he is!

im not so sure about that:

i dont like some literal who n-worder telling me about synth stuff, they should stick to hip hop trash, thats their actual area of expertise.

>I wonder if the gear manufacturers pay him to do this shite
lol naive user.

lol that one didnt come out so good.

Blacks started techno.

and yet they are forgotten ;)

This is true for a few exceptions:
Modular is pretty much only possible on hardware. Digital applications that emulate it will only scratch the surface and miss most of the most interesting modules.
There are also certain synths and effects that either aren't emulated well in the digital world or are impossible to properly digitize. Stuff like a good Juno is included here because the only decent emulation is locked behind a fucking subscribtion service, and also things like a proper plate or spring reverb, where the digital version will never be as good as the real thing.

That's the first thing I think about when I read about him here. OP1 beat memes lmao.

and?

they dont matter and i simply dont want some n speaking all interested in synths as if he was white.

theres not a single relevant black electronic music producer today

this is all I have to post in response to your dumb turkey-ass comment.

as expected you have zero authority on who is relevant and who isn't, if you're larping for replies congrats this one's on me

i think adam neely is genuinely incapable of feeling human emotion

and you are not gonna post the relevant black artists right? what a surprise, what a surprise :)

You seem like the type of person who buys fancy marijuana pipes, is comfy with a 30K tech job, and viciously criticizes anyone who leaves town to do anything ambitious

I don't make music for others.
I make music because it's fun for me.

nice try moving those goalposts. why don't you try booking any of these artists, gimme a quote on how much they charge for a set and lemme know if you think they're relevant or not. you have zero authority on this

you're wrong on all fronts, I move cities once a year and I made more money than that as an intern when I was 19. weed is degenerate. I just have fun proving arrogant racist plebs wrong on anonymous knitting forums

>moving those goalposts
yeah except not really. i was stating from the beginning on that there are no relevant black electronic artists. ok maybe i was exaggerating a bit. because theres flying lotus after all right?
>muh racism
its merely an observation. also its fun to trigger onionsboys like you ;)
>why don't you try booking any of these artists
well theyre not that amazing that i would book their shows. actress is good but the rest is fucking trash t b h. first of all, only two of them surpass like 100k views. is that also because
>muh racism?
or is maybe, just maybe, because these songs arent that impressive after all? is it all racism that skrillex has views in the millions, as well as aphex twin, and BoC and the list literally goes on? thats whats relevant man.
now your songs:
youtube.com/watch?v=-sRaAr3lfwI
apart from a few intersting spacey fm synth sounds, not that special, especially when you listen to other deconstructed club acts (ever heard of amnesia scanner? way more interesting for example)

this is by far the worst you posted. sounds like a shitty soundcloud artist with 100 followers. i literally know SC artists btw with less followers than this dude probably has that can produce proper music.

stop posting anytime. your opinion is completely irrelevant as someone who unironically listens to skrillex and thinks youtube views are any kind of metric

He always has interesting titles which would make for interesting music
The music always ends up sounding like every song in 2 hour YouTube music compilation videos.
>We're going to create music out of this cool sound. However, first we'll smack hundreds of effects on that sound that it sounds like an average FL Studio preset kick.

his music is utter trash honestly. i dont get how he can be THAT bad considering his channel and all. but oh well.

shut the fuck up faggot. it's pretty decent pop music and impressive when you see how he makes most of his songs. you post something better that you've made.

wow great argument! simple and sad piano songs are all rip offs of aphex twin interesting way to look at the world. so did aphex twin rip off yann tiersen then? and did yann tiersen rip off ludovico einaudi? is that how your world works?
everyone ive showed this liked it so far, youre only bashing it because youre mad since i shat on andrew huang. he makes the most bland, generic fl studio stock sound pop imaginable.

They have no soul because their understanding of music is too far rooted in their theory. This is the advantage the jammer has over the student. A jammer figures out how rhythm and notes sounds good to them and figures out unique ways to use them. The student uses conventional methods and notes to make things sound good, but does nothing new with them outside of just having the knowledge to know why. Knowledge is fine, but when you don't establish a barrier between a knowledge and feeling, then you end up with Jacob Collier. Someone who has all the knowledge and talent in the world to pursue their avenue, but lacks all the sentiment to actually produce music that binds his true soul to it. Just endless noodling and theory knobbing. On the flip side, you end up with 90% of people in local bands. Pick your poison.
