I've spent so much of my life trying to answer this question, and then along come 100 gecs doing exactly as you said, "you could sing to a backing track", and somehow they make it look cool! I don't think they even took their vocal tracks out! Adam Neely has a cool video about acousmatic sounds ("Is playing to track cheating?") and how people are more comfortable with backing tracks of non-physical sounds (e.g. synths and electronic drums) than ones that are bound to physical objects. I have a solo project that mixes electronic and post-rock elements, and have tried playing out solo myself. The electronic aspects feel fine to have in tracks, but as soon as acoustic drums or guitar tracks come in I feel like such a phony. All this to say, I'm glad more people are talking about this, looking forward to diving into your book!

That's so interesting! Great point about physical objects! Then again genres like hip hop are really tied to sampling (often of acoustic music recordings), but it's somehow acceptable because it's a sound world inside another sound world. Prerecorded lead vocals seem unacceptable, but are normal in a DJ set. Miming is often frowned upon but considered an art form in drag shows. I really think it depends on the context, the audience, the space, what you do visually... There are so many cultural conventions that will influence our perception of liveness, and I think that constructing a stage show in itself is a form of artistic expression, rather than a mechanical, predetermined process. Thanks for sharing your thoughts! :)

Enjoyed the video , subbed and ordered the book. I've been mainly DAWless this year, using a ndlr with hardware and it's been lots of fun. (Way back in the day it was Pro24 on an Atari ST to trigger gear!) I like the uniqueness of each performance. Looking forward to reading your book.

@@Nyokee very much so. After starting with Live, later Bitwig back when it was still very new, I've deleted all the plugins and presets, because I felt they distract me from learning the actual basics. But still, I had a hard time finishing stuff because I got lost in minor details, regularly. DAWless removed that issue right away, I started with a Korg Volca Keys and later added an Octatrack. And then I only bought new gear when I really felt I'd need it, so at least for me, the whole process is much closer to making music, less dry, more enjoyable. Maybe at some point, I'll integrate Bitwig into my setup for launching clips via Launchpad, but right now, I'm not in a hurry. 🙂

@@allyouracid That's really interesting, and relatable. I think if it helped me to start learning this stuff when I was quite a lot younger. Right now, as an adult, I'm learning Blender 3D and I am noticing much of the same issues you describe. I overthink everything, I constantly look stuff up, and the overwhelming possibilities / complexity can be stifling. Creative restriction and a minimal setup can be so helpful for sure.

@@Nyokee you might wanna try asking ChatGPT what you'd otherwise look up. ;) I've had that with programming, and since I'm using ChatGPT as my personal, searchable manual for everything, my progress became much faster. I initially feared I'd become dumb, but the opposite was the case. I'm learning much more, faster, getting better results. Maybe it works for Blender, too! Just a suggestion :)

@@allyouracid Yeah, I do that sometimes, but some of the things I'm trying to find out are so weirdly niche, that there is not enough training data on the internet for ChatGPT to be really helpful. For example, I recently tried to find a free AI mocap tool that would extract my movement data from video and apply it to a Blender character. I succeeded, but it wasn't trivial at all! Even posting in several reddit / stack exchange groups didn't help, but I got there haha. I'm sure it's a good tip for more common questions though.

Do you think that combining use of both mini and standard size key controllers can be a problem? Especially for a beginner.
@Nyokee
9 ай бұрын
So in terms of size, there is both the number of octaves on the key controller, and the width of the keys. I would say that if you have a bunch of different controllers with different numbers of octaves, that's no problem at all. The second parameter is the width of the keys. The MPK mini MIDI controller, and a few others have narrower keys than a standard piano. This has never bothered me (I learned on a normal piano), but it might be worth trying out what it's like for you to switch between key sizes?

Is it also okay to just use an iphone and a midi controller? Have a made by myself backing track and play the leads?
@Nyokee
9 ай бұрын
Hey, I've never tried this but I think you can. You could use Garageband and plug in a MIDI keyboard using either a lightning to USB adapter or USB-C to USB adapter depending on the iPhone model. In Garageband you should be able to load in a backing track you've made, and add a MIDI instrument to control live. This video seems to explain it quite well: kzitem.info/news/bejne/1oOk2o15f5dqYIo Only thing is that you need to amplify the sound, and if you don't want to use the built-in phone speakers, you might need to connect to a speaker via Bluetooth, which might cause a small delay.
