Don’t know how you do it. Every video I learn something valuable. Still shouting out that you have the most valuable production content on KZfaq, by a mile. 💎

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

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

@lucasj7577 Жыл бұрын

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

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

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

Great stuff! the attention to detail, slight changes with automation make such a difference and you explain it so meticulously. The tips with the sends are great. I often ignore using sends and I don't think I've even considered adding multiple F/X to a single send. Thanks for the lesson!

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

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

hey Alice, love all your videos! Is it possible to share this chart that you show on this video? otherwise where can i find it?

@m-teqq Жыл бұрын

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

@fender97 Жыл бұрын

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

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