@@Danhan12341 It's not that nothings stopping you, it's that I wish I learned this stuff years ago so I can focus on creating now, not learning theory. I balance my learning out, I can't just focus on theory as I lose focus.

@hercin86 Жыл бұрын

Music is not about studying it should come from inside. Of course you can benefit from music theory and videos like this but depending full on those gets you nowhere when creating stuff. Those guys on youtube know their technical stuff very well yet they are just youtubers not artists (most of them).

@@hercin86 oh it certainly gets you somewhere, like, to a place where you have a groove, harmony, melodies.. It gets you to a place where you can have an idea in your head and you can lay it down on a keyboard/guitar/piano roll etc. It certainly is not everything you need. And ofc you can just monkey see monkey do, but understanding is like having the fishing rod, not the fish.

@fisheatsyourhead Жыл бұрын

@@hercin86 they're different skills but both require practice and studying. Learning to write music in ableton live isn't too dissimilar to the process of learning an instrument requiring knowledge of theory and experience to be able to create your own music. Teaching someone a skill by demonstrating it can help people learn, many of the greatest musicians have imitated others before finding their own way.

@elijahren Жыл бұрын

@@habiboi_ The 3 in 3:4 polyrhythm stands for triplets, while the 4 stands for 16th notes. Since there were no triplets being used here, it is not a 3:4 polyrhythm. Instead, what was being used here are called "dotted eighth notes."

@habiboi_ Жыл бұрын

@@elijahren incorrect. the 3 in polyrhythm stands for "3" and 4 stands for "4." It is simply a ratio, and as is visible here, 3 quarter notes and 4 dotted eighth notes "sum" to the same value... contrasting rhythms. Many 3:4 polyrhythms encountered include triplets, but what truly matters is the ratio 3:4. you can probably argue a more strict defintion, but I feel that most musicians would simply call this a 3:4 polyrhythm as far as I know...

A good way to make 4/4 sound really funky is by dividing the four quarter notes into sixteen sixteenth notes, and putting emphasis on beats 1, 4, 7, 10, and 13. Each pattern is three sixteenth notes long except for the last one, which is a full quarter note. Or, better notated as 16/16, subdivided into 3+3+3+3+4/16. I go into more detail on this in my latest video about two thirds of the way through. You can check it out if you want, but I don't mean to advertise, so you don't have to if you don't want to.
