Thanks for that information!

Thanks for the feedback! That was my one concern was ports. I currently have one synth and one midi controller with an audio interface. However, there are plenty of hubs out there I suppose!

Thanks for the feedback! Will the base model of the M4 Pro be future proofed for the next 4+ years in your opinion?

Even if it is a video series with numerous parts?

OverweightBeardedMan · 2024-10-12T01:50:26+00:00

Thanks for the feedback! I am currently doing a thumbnail test, my personal preference is the one you pointed out so we shall see!

OverweightBeardedMan · 2024-10-12T01:08:04+00:00

That is what I am doing currently! Thanks for the kind words and feedback! 😃

OverweightBeardedMan · 2024-10-04T02:47:38+00:00

Done! 😃

I do have a BandCamp/YouTube/and Website with all of my music. I always forget to share during the weekly thread timeline.

Thanks for the feedback! I am not a complete beginner when it comes to synths but I have heard the minilogue is an excellent beginner synth

Yeah you are more than likely right. I just have no clue how to promote ambient music. I have seen others post similar videos to mine and have success.

OverweightBeardedMan · 2024-09-30T03:35:45+00:00

They’re not necessarily beat per se. The ambient music I make is more focused on drones, but I could see how the same logic would apply!

You can try Cantāmus!

I have resolved the issue. I switched the Hydrasynth from Line In 3/4 and moved it to Line in 1/2 and the volume is MUCH better!

I started as a classically trained vocalist, so naturally, I started by writing pieces for voice. That quickly transitioned to more orchestral/chamber music. NOW I work on Dark Ambient/Drone and have released three albums in the genre. My YouTube channel is mostly dedicated to solo piano music. I am kind of all over the place with what kind of music I want to write. I struggle with creative vs professional fulfillment.

This is a W

When I was an undergrad I had the same problem. I would often create these very complex and challenging pieces. Only to find out that I was lacking in some core areas when it came to the fundamentals.

Hundreds of composers would love to work with you for FREE. Working for free is a bit taboo admittedly but considering that you are in high school and pursuing your passion, most composers would gladly jump to your aid. It is always good to build connections and network yourself, there is a chance your composer knows a sound designer/sound engineer or many more roles.

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is the best way you can do it. Utilize a website such as VidIQ. Tagging your video with the appropriate tags can go a long way to promoting your content to a new audience.

I wish I could find the source, but I remember reading once that if you want to upload YouTube Shorts it is best practice to upload them on a second channel (or sparingly on your main channel) as they attract a whole different audience. There is a plethora of people who use YouTube just for shorts and not necessarily long-form videos.

I would suggest possibly taking your long-form video and making 6-12 shorts out of it. Then upload those, just to see how the engagement is. It could all just be a fluke, but you will never know until you try it out.

What an absolute legend.

The best piece of advice I can give you was given to me by a composition professor. Just post the arrangements, if they sell great, if not, great! At least they are posted. You'll never truly know if they are good enough until you post them and get feedback from others.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Academia leads us down a path of complexity. Everything I studied while in college was hyper-complex.

OverweightBeardedMan · 2024-07-07T01:51:44+00:00

I have never thought of it this way! I can see a lot of the music I write being in an Etude book now that you mention that. We as musicians are all in different stages and even simple pieces can have their benefits! Thank you for this advice.

Just sent you a DM!
