RE: The Making of "Dark Times" [Drum & Bass Production Video]
Firstly I want to thank you for doing this video. There is so much to appreciate here.
You are an absolute genius... To make this music you have to know about the sounds and instruments, have an actual knowledge with layering the music for it to sounds just right. Sometimes there are sounds we don't particularly here and when doing this video, showing us how you did it, some sounds come to surface. And I realize that, ya, that's what makes it work all together.
One part I was looking forward to is that eerie sound you put in there. How cool was that! It was really nice to see all the gadgets that go into it. The program itself looks complicated and know that I would never be able to understand how to even make a one minute compilation of piano sounds through that lol.
Thank you once again for doing this. So much more we can appreciate when you make your masterpieces.
I have to ask, how long does it take you to make such a fine work of art?
Thanks a lot for suggestion of doing it! I actually had a lot of fun going through the project and reliving the production process (even though the final track itself was a release from a bad time in my life). It has been a while since I opened up that project and I actually forgot to talk about the low bass sound in this video but I think there's enough there to keep you entertained :)
So glad you enjoyed this!
This track would have taken probably a week to construct and then to finally get mastered by the experts at Audio Animals. Some tracks have taken longer, some much less, depends on how complex the track has become, trying to find the right elements etc.
I actually thought it would have taken longer!
I must say, the inventor of making music this way must have been.... trying to find words here as I sip my coffee in this fine sunny morning... out of this world!
Well, that's probably "total time" as in hours spent in the production studio, so a week's worth of time. That was spread out over weeks/months due to other commitments but I'm a persistent little s__t so will keep going to get things done, even if it does take longer than anticipated :D
Thanks for giving me the impetus to make the video :)
HAHAHA at persistent little shit :P That you are. Bravo! I love what you do ^_^
And to add a small token to the upvotes....
Haha ironic those bots probably going to give me a bigger upvote on comments than for the post itself!
Didn't realise the video was actually 1GB! No wonder it took so long to upload haha! Just getting it on YouTube and will embed the "alternative playback" link in here :)
