I came here just for the “sleep with metronome” jokes…

SO GOOD

This is one of the funniest comments I've ever read.

oooooof!

EXACTLY nine months

OliviaPi strokin da dic at 120bpm

Luckily I like emo girls, where do I find a sexy metronome?

OliviaPi well, a fast-swing metrobone would be a welcome idea

What about using some sincopation once in a while??

This is the best comment on the internet.

Holy shit this blew my mind.

Wolarski - Every time I visited my Grandparents as a kid I would have irregular dreams and wake 30 seconds before my alarm went off. Now Im wondering if it was because of the clocks! Looks like im going clock shopping tomorrow.....For science. And for once, "Clock shopping" wont be a euphemism for something dirty 😁.

I'm still sleeping with one of these. Now I know what influenced my whole music career. My achievements are rather poor, so sleeping with a metronome is definitely not enough 😃

Most of my childhood lmao.

Best comment!

It will not last very long because it will go flying against the wall

Leaving a metronome (or drum machine for thatmatter) running and out of reach, helps to keep me angry and just sub catastrophe Crazy. "why is everything all shit just now? oh, that GD THING is still going"

my heart sync with beats so it would make me jump.

Does going insane make you ask complete questions and then answer them yourself? Yes.

240bpm or death

might be good for the patina

Ok

lol

@@ContentConfessional why you tune your hands and not your instrument

I guess you learned about this in Cherklee, huh?

They're playing the right notes. You just don't like jazz.

yupp

Bruh lmao

you don’t know what you don’t know is a true statement. But so is you don’t know what you do know. And also, you do know what you do know. And of course, you do know what you don’t know

so well put (evil laugh)

sting knows more than any musician how to dominate

no, no at all

thanks my dude

From my past experiences, 4k usually crashes graphics cards. It might be because my computer is pretty ass.

thanks dad

I thought it was the Copystrike hammer that had hit you.

I was glad to see your comment: I'd been looking for someone else saying that.

My alarm clock was 90 bpm. (Or say 180 if you don't hear the subtle difference in its forward and backward tick.) I used it for basically my entire youth and I suck at music.

Oh yeahhh

meme i hate your picture

Dear lord

Insert eyeroll here

Oh, fuck you.

meme acount But I love it!

why is millennial humor so weird?

She's probably snoring using A= 440 hz. Totally useless

Not a Catholic, then?

jsm2420 Thanks to Holy Mary! 🙏

You should have seen it coming that nothing much was going to come out of it when you married a conjunction.

@@umzwap Or highly reproductive.

Everything about this comment makes me laugh

Because then you ain't got rhythm

Harry Brown yeah literally everything

Everything's gonna be not quite my tempo

its like anti-clickbait

It's makes it so that we don't have to click on the video if that's the only question we care about. I also assume that he has enough self confidence that people are still gonna watch it.

I think he actually explained this one once (can't remember when) - basically people kept complaining that he didn't give a straightforward answer to the question in the title (usually because there isn't one), so he started putting the basic answer in the thumbnail so those people would leave him alone and the rest of us could listen to the actual answer.

I think for a random passer by, it also gives them an idea that he's got other cool questions he has answers for and will answer. It's like, a clickbait but for valuable information being there. But anti-clickbait in a sense that you DO get what you click for, and it couldn't be more honest. And on the flip side, if you hate that, there's no weakness you can attack. It's almost... flawless.

I almost didn't find this channel, even though KZfaq kept suggesting his videos, because so many of the titles seem like things I'm not interested in, but it turns out there's a ton of other cool stuff he talks about that I am interested in. Even though I'm subscribed now, I initially skipped this video, 'cause I didn't realize it was a Q&A video, haha. :P

Thats a very interesting story. Thank you for sharing. Have a nice day.

I'm Portuguese, and same, I was always like where the fuck is the Do? 😂

Thom Avella nicely spotted

hello thom

thom what are you doin here this aint politics get outta heeeeeeeeeeeee

Now now, it's not nice to comment about the quality of one's undergarments...

*shipping intensifies*

Maybe that would be like listening to it in stereo.

I totally agree. Really inspiring!

S1NGULAR1TY Yeah idd, with the augmented chord, gettin' some jazz vibes here

Learned a new augmented lick today...

The somber lick

turning into some Llamas with hats shit

Adam needs to write a "The Lick" fugue.

This question requires some serious addressing

I'd love to see Adam answering this one

Ha! Good one.

Yes

i would assume we would walk outer legs-inner leg-outer legs

More importantly: Will listening to a recording of a steak make him want to eat a big band? Edit: Actually, I will make this my question for the next Q&A. Hi Adam, will listening to a recording of a steak make you want to eat a big band? If so, how do you resist? (Did you?)

I'd say, it's more likely if the steak was cooked of a big band

Yeah what did the shirt say, I was wondering that the whole video.

PROTIP Make sure the Synth and Vocals are in the same key

somerandomdudeable thank you

Ye the way he related it to transposing was really helpful

Literally did shit like this my entire life before I even drummed or played an instrument, was always dissecting rhythm in my head as well, making beats and figuring out how to get them sounding like beats. Thinking about music does more than most people will ever know.

I do that sometimes, even beatboxing as well

I find myself tapping out a rhythm in idle moments, especially if I am in a good mood. It doesn't have to be loud. Tapping different rhythms on each hand is good. I'll do the same thing sometimes when walking or cycling, syncing to the rhythm of my feet. I suspect listening to music whilst sleeping would be better than just a metronome.

Hip-hop drums is just a layman's term for swing/shuffle rhythms in general.

Hip-hop drums, really? So weak, I am insulted. (Sri goes back to a conversation on the programming of most hip-hop songs when it comes to drumming in the studio. - Real drummers unite - destroy your computers! Wait, no, that's not what I meant.)

Not unlike adding a title to a painting, or a (literal) frame to a photograph - it provides context, which might be desirable or undesirable on a case-by-case basis. Many paintings are purposely left "untitled", and many photographs unframed. I guess not adding a title might be more of a "purist" approach (and as an amateur photographer I dislike fancy frames), but I don't think having one is necessarily a negative. After all, *all art* gets interpreted within context... Interesting question.

I feel that adding a title should never hamper the interpretation of the piece itself. There's been plenty of songs I've listened to that I felt the name had little connection to the song. On the other hand, it gives good insight into what the artist was thinking at the time. Even classical composers that used mainly opus numbers at least labeled their pieces with a style, like "waltz" or "sonata", to describe it. Having no title at all seems like it would be a pain to sort if you start writing a lot of untitled works, and a pain for listeners trying to find your work.

It depends. It's basically about "absolute music" vs "program music". If the music is about something concrete and not just music for the sake of music, then it's usually supposed to be interpreted in a certain way, and adding a description makes it much easier to understand the piece of music. And I would argue that listening to the piece of music without understanding what it's about may be pretty confusing. But if it's not about anything concrete and it's just music for the sake of music, then naming the piece doesn't really mean much. Of course not all music is 100% absolute music or 100% program music. I'm pretty sure most pieces of music are somewhere in between. But there are some clear examples of program music where not mentioning what it's about would just be confusing. It's kind of the same as naming a piece a "symphony" or a "sonata" - when you know it's a symphony or a sonata, you have certain expectations from the piece and you know "how" to listen to it. The same goes with knowing that something is a jazz tune or whatever - you approach listening to different styles of music differently. If you don't understand the "point" of jazz music (basically improvised variations of a theme), you will probably not get much out of it and it will just sound like different instruments playing random stuff. I think the same applies to listening to any kind of music. Being informed about what the music is about makes it a lot easier to approach it, and certain musical choices start making a lot more sense.

Mina Bahig I think you should always interpret music in your own way but I think that by having a title it can help you interpret how the composer feels about the price and wants the listener to feel about it.

yep.

Alot of people dont learn things just by being talked at. Being able to apply it in a real world constant and work on it physically rather than mentally helps understanding. Learning how to drive a car isn’t just turn on and go vroom, there is learning the basics like how the gas responds and the breaks. Then comes steering, if you start talking about how the crankshaft works in relation right off the bat, it doesnt neccesarily help someone drive

@@agua414 There's another way to think about it. Hobbyist musicians are like people who drive on a daily basis. Actual skilled musicians are like race car drivers. A lot of musicians want to go pro but they don't know what it actually takes to be a 'real' pro, because generic people who drive on a daily basis usually don't know how much race car drivers need to know to win their competitions and make a living out of that... Hint: not just their skills and training.

Tonhüb That’s where it’s from!

Actually, I'm pretty certain that's a sound in Garageband.

yeah, probably just a stock sound effect, that both Adam and Derek use in their videos.

YES! Thank you! I knew I recognized it but i couldn't remember where from

432? coincidence? i think not

432 Hz illuminato conformerd

12 tone is dope!!

Steven Martin yeah. His face though..

A = 432 is the best system

Josh Rhombus you’d think so it loud enough! Good point.

Anal isn't clean...
