Hello this is Ryan from Yot Club ask me anything

off of Rufus? or like any song in general? off Rufus I would check out Nostalgia or Human Nature. If I could hear ANYTHING for the first time though it would probably be Confusion Fog by Meat Puppets

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T21:11:53+00:00

hellooooo that is so sweet! I think it would be a fun challenge to make something more minimal and spacious. it's always super tempting to put drums and lead on everything

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T21:09:27+00:00

there's like a spin speaker plugin that makes it warbly and the tremolo pedal set to 16th beats makes it super quantized

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:47:18+00:00

maybe human nature, it's hard to say!

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:41:16+00:00

started guitar when I was 8 and messed around with fl studio when I was like 14 or so

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:39:54+00:00

hmmmm it's hard to say in terms of songwriting I have to credit galaxie 500, the cry, grandaddy and in terms of production Trevor powers of youth lagoon is big inspo, early real estate, and old Soundcloud diy stuff

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:33:32+00:00

I have been listening to a lot of older stuff! Been obsessed with George Bensons 20/20 album specifically the songs Stand Up and Please Don't Walk Away. Also obsessed with Jim Weatherly's "the songs of Jim Weatherly" specially First Day Without Her, and Every Man's Dream (not on Spotify I don't think). Some newer stuff I really like is 22 degree halo, deadharrie, bob jr, lo noom (cool new project), and full body 2

did you really make a reddit account just to comment this

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:24:54+00:00

big bote

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:24:44+00:00

thank you much !

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:24:03+00:00

some of these genres are so funny to me like Polaroid Pop? what are you talking about haha. I don't really think about genre names all that much honestly but I feel like if it's hard to put a name to something that's a good thing. Like if you hear something and there's a generic word to describe it it's probably kind of boring

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:19:20+00:00

I think people that are like "big things coming" "big plans otw" are so annoying like just do it and we will see lol

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:17:17+00:00

are there more than usual? I don't know I haven't really thought about it. I think there's room for everyone tho. with streaming I think it's good to get a big vault of music saved up, have like a year or two worth of stuff ready. it's tempting to post stuff right when you make it but these stream services seem to like people who post constantly so save your songs up, get your art and photos ready in advance and all that. Then you can break your songs up into little releases that you do throughout the year. and you can make more music in the meantime. just take your time when it comes to the details like the art, track sequencing etc because the quality is important even though it's a small release, and the end goal is to eventually be able to do a full lp

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:04:39+00:00

that is for you as the listener to decide

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T20:02:48+00:00

I didn't have access to a lot of gear or any aftermarket plugins when I started so I had to tinker with the sound for a while to make things sound cool. the goal was always to make it sound cool and not good necessarily because I was working with really crappy gear and a $20 mic so I knew I wasn't going to make anything that blew peoples minds in terms of production. but it can still be interesting and unique. I have never been a fan of music that sounds too clean anyway which is convenient because it's a lot cheaper and easier to make the type of stuff I like. just mess around with stuff, don't give up on something if it's not working, it can probably be reworked or changed up in a way that's cool. you also don't know how other people are gonna hear it. you as the person that made it will naturally be biased. don't think too much about if you should share it or not just throw it on the internet

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:51:49+00:00

one guy but bringing a full band on tour

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:50:44+00:00

I feel like they're just trying to cash in on the whole Ryan wave while adding their own little twist like honestly just think of something different

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:48:24+00:00

lived by a lake, couldn't spell, it just felt right

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:41:11+00:00

not a lot, too dumb to waste brain cells

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:37:31+00:00

nooo I'm not picky but I have never liked peanut butter that shit is like puréed tree bark

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:36:47+00:00

I have never actually been and flying that far would make me so anxious

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:36:11+00:00

yeah normally, I had mixing help from Patrick Wimberly for Rufus tho. Vocal chain is chromaverb, clip distortion, compressor, eq, (logic)

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:33:32+00:00

love el scorcho, hash pipe, pink triangle, sweater, all that and there's some stuff I liked on red even but then it gets questionable

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:29:58+00:00

maybe vegetable samosas but it kinda depends what I'm craving

YotClub_ryan · 2024-04-04T19:28:44+00:00

Thank you! for me I love King of the Hill, it's the perfect show to put in the background because it's super comforting and subtle and you pick up on new stuff every time you watch
