This guy will be responsible for a handful of brilliant artists in the future

When I cry myself to sleep tonight, I'll cry tears of knowledge.

He is the psychologist we deep down all need.

"Of course, the lack of meaning doesn't go away" hit me harder than it should. Great video, keep it up, I'm proud of you!

This is, quite possibly, the best video on the internet.

Not gonna lie, this sounds kinda like the intro song to GTA San Andreas.

This is the best way anyone could possibly explain song structure ever holy shit this is great

"The noise Derek makes when he struggles."

Wowzers

I have a bad habit of making dope one-off beats and tunes in the Session view when any idea comes into my head, but then not actually making a song out of it. This is exactly what I needed to see how to push through all the shit and turn those pieces into actual songs. On my way to self-actualization. Baby steps.

this one hits too close to home

"But, of course, the lack of meaning doesn't go away"

I’m calling child services

"The purest form of meaning and self actualization there is. Is Snoop Dog." lmfao

This video is a fantastic piece of art, well developed, 5/5 good use of creativity

Came here looking for song structure tips, came out with a life lesson. this is all so strange

I was lacking meaning and then I took your online class and saw this. With your proactive encouragement, and a healthy dose of Snoop, it jump-started my actualization. Thanks Underbelly! Now I know how to structure my life and make good beats. Who knew the world revolves around the beat!

Teachings from another planet

this is honestly the best vid i found on creating sound structure and i laughed the whole way through lol thanks underbelly

Wow! You have no idea how much you taught in 7 minutes. I have had Ableton for 7 years, and I have been totally stuck at making anything have structure or meaning. Easily the best 7 minutes spent in my Ableton journey. Thank you!

my fav video right now from 2020 trying to find meaning and true myself as hard as I can by developing music understanding and feeling, so ur videos do more then both, also bringing smile with ur humor(no words to describe how wowzy it iz)! thanx man ur awesome!

Thank you! This was such an amazing laugh. I came for your content and stayed for the humor!

Wowzers to you ! Thank you so much for your work ! Your approach to song producing is so interesting ! The parrallel with life ( intro -awakening, than goes the daily life with all its chores and joys and let down) is so fertile that I will use it for now on...Let music be narrative !

Awesome man, you have a gift looking at music outside the box. Congratulations!!... and many thanks for sharing.

The most motivating A'hole on the interwebs... Love your videos!

I love the creative way you explain structure haha keep it up 🔥

Amazing teacher and video man. The analogy is perfect 😂

Just stumbled on this channel and the last 3 vids i watched had me dying bro you wild😂😂

I was unable to concentrate on the topic, because I was rolling on the floor laughing

You are genius! Mix the time management, music and humour! That’s brilliant!

Omg. Mind Blown. You just gave the key to what music really is and how to structure it. If i could give you a million dollars.

You so well describe a vast majority of the lives of many people I went to high school with. Most entertaining guy in music production hands down. RoFL

Best explanation of song structure ever haha! This actually helps so much!

Dad your uploads make me happy and I don't even use ableton

These videos are a gem lmao

Hahaha I absolutely loved this! It taught me a lot and made me laugh a lot too! Keep up the good work!

The intro is so accurate, that instead of making me depressed it motivates me. Because beats.

I can't take this guy man lol. How is this so entertaining, yet informative??? One of the best tutorial makers on youtube hands down

I just keep clicking on these video's to be calmly ensuring that I'm suck at producing. It's liberating.

Why do I understand this more than any other beat producing educational video and I'm entertained WOWZERS

Such a perfect metaphore, thank you for this!

You’re really an amazing teacher with great examples, and hilarious

This guy must be so proud of how he could put together this example to explain these concepts I would.

That's a very nice way of explaining song structures. Pretty awesome.

Bro. This video had me roll'n. Awesome job.

😂😂😂 Dude this is too funny. Thanks for making my day man 😂

This is my first visit to your channel and I think I love you. Brains and humor is such a turn on. Good looking too!

This whole video is high level art.

This is beyond art...

ok you are genius! Now i know why i suck at producing because i've been taking it much to seriously.. good knowledge and wisdom here please keep making videos!

Great tutorial. Thanks for the examples too it is very helpful to remember song structure.

Man, I’m so glad you’re uploading content on the reg! Don’t leave me again, please 😭

OMG THIS IS A WHOLE OTHER THING. MAN THIS GUY JUST REFERENCED MY WHOLE LIFE(exept Derek) AND BOTH MADE MY DAY BAD AND GOOD AT THE SAME TIME LEARNING SOMETHING. THIS GUYS FRICKING GOOD

This is what I needed

i like how he degraded my existence and taught me something at the same time. THANKS, UNDERBELLY!!!

Refreshing! Thanks.

Wow, I needed this so much. Thank you for helping me achieve my inner snoop dog 👍 .

I wasn't prepared for you to drop the funkiest loop ever

Best teacher on YT. Glad I found his channel

this is magical

Creating songs out of naming tracks and finding a narrative for them is just so wholesome. I will try that right now

best video ever. you had me at snoopdogg

This is absolute gold.

*Wowzers!* After watching that and laughing hard, I think Im gonna really enjoy learning to Produce. Thank you so much

I'm new here but man, all I can say is that you are a Genius. Congrats

Oh man sooo good made me smile.

This is pure gold. U win youtube

I love you mane, I do rock but your way of explaining music production is absolutely unique, not that you didn't know about it. keep the meme alive, keep it up, proud of you.

Wowzers, life lessons and producing lessons. Thank you Underbelly
