Cool new music making trick! | Andrew Huang

[Carina]

I love your choice of camera angles. You vlog but you still try to make the visuals different and tasteful and I appreciate 👌🏻

[samtompk]

When you jumped into it at 3:08 my mind was blown. That is so dope.

[Awesomepedia]

That's a dope trick! It also works for mashups and remixes - some of my favourites that I've made switch back and forth between tracks in a rhythmical way, rather than layering the different songs together.

"It's a nice little toy"
Yeah, a nice little toy that costs $900.

[MuazOsman]

That is so so creative!
I don't make music, mostly video stuff. But I think I will try to use this trick with my videos, a role and b role thingies

[AlphonseHT]

My jaw dropped when you showed the trick! I thought it was so cool! :O
Now I actually really want the OP1 😂

[Lescar]

I love the way you make videos. Not only do you have interesting and unique musical content in bite-sized short videos but you also work with creative camera positioning and put in just the right amount of jokes. Really nice to watch :)

[ShdySam]

I Absolutely Loved This! The specificity was much appreciated. I've always loved your work and am very excited about your progress in "the biz." I wish you the best and can't wait to see where your journey takes you!
With great admiration,
Joel

They call it "hoquet" and this trick was first used by Medieval DJs and MCs, who also experimented with different tracks playing the same melody. Their mixtapes and songs haven't survived by nowadays, but we've got some of their ableton projects that indicate the fact and show how it was made. And it's very cool and nice thing you've also discovered this fun thing by yourself and decided to share it with your viewers. You're not just a great musician and composer, but also a very generous one. The world needs more people like you.

[lenardmgtr]

This reminds me of another musical concept called 'hocket'. It's basically piecing together a complete continuous melody but it's distributed through different instruments, Adam Neely has a really cool video on the subject. Nice vid, Andrew!

[max_mittler]

discovered this by accident and not it's my favorite way to use play around in the tape mode. Your example was super sick. This is also incredibly useful for buildups and beat drops. Solo just one track for a bar, and when you bring back in the other three it can make a cool beat drop effect.

[laylahussain]

I honestly love his videos, truly one of the best creators out there.

[gelatinguy]

I've never really created any music beyond a few notes on a cheap keyboard, but I actually used to do this all the time with music editing software. I would take whatever sample song(s) that came with the software and turn the tracks on and off rapidly to create different music. Of course, being completely derivative of someone else's music, I didn't do anything with those tweaked songs. Good to know Andrew thinks it's a musical trick!

[Blogspierre]

I use the mutes in a similar way, during an album take, for scratching effects. I don't have a turntable setup suitable for real scratch fading etc. so I use an iPad app called "eDJing". Then, I'll just baby scratch to the rhythm over the entire length of the loop (4-8 bars), and when mixing to album, I'll solo the other tracks, and "tap out" on the scratch, which helps to add a fading effect to the mix, and adds a ton of variety. This way, the same 4 bar scratch can sound totally varied across a 16 bar passage in the album mix.

[josemhs]

Andrew you just allowed me to finish a gap I've had in a song ive been working on and this
This is what i needed thank you thank you

[sirjohnnyg]

Almost sounds like switching between tracks on a turntable. Except you can have the drums going the whole time for continuity which is nice.

[sevenfoldmusic]

I've actually done this type of thing before by automating the slider on a crossfader VST throughout my track, but I've never done it this way. This is very cool.

[pies]

I love music that does that, starts with a basic melody, then subtracts notes from it to make a neat new rhythm and sound

[sethdavis]

Hey Andrew, I was wondering if you've recorded live drums before? You're not like most producers, even on YouTube. But I was wondering if you've done "normal" recording. Not that normal means much on this channel

[NitroNovaMusic]

Man I do the double layer thing all the time (throw chords behind it, MUSIC DID DONE GEWD) and this makes me really wanna get that funky little gadget to play around with and make a simple melody feel more groovy.
