2021-1-6 Music Making session with Band Lab

[0:00 - 0:24] Good morning everybody. What's up? What's up? What is up? Well, I know it's like hella early in the morning, but I wanted to do something that I've not done before, which is utilize a site that I've used for recording a lot.
[0:24 - 0:47] And this is something that I've used, like I said, for recording only. I've never utilized the music making side of things, but I have heard a lot of very good things about Van Lab and their, you know, music creation side of things, so we're gonna jump into this and see what they're about.
[0:47 - 1:09] So as you can tell we're starting off with a clean slate here, as you can tell. But they did actually add in some brand new features that I actually really like, which I'll get into later on.
[1:09 - 1:19] But we're just gonna mess around with this event and see like what kind of music we can come out with. Like they do have royalty free stuff like they got free packs.
[1:19 - 1:28] Oh, what am I feeling? You know, let's try the rock builder pack. Like I want to check out this rock building pack.
[1:28 - 1:52] Ooh, ooh, I like that. Hold on, let's layer that in. That is fire. Oh, bro, that sounds good. That guitar sounds fucking wicked, dude. I like that.
[1:52 - 2:19] Now let's add in a rhythm guitar up underneath of that. And the good thing that I like about sites like this is it's relatively easy to make a really good track, which I absolutely love that aspect of it. It's super cool.
[2:19 - 2:36] How's it doing, man? Thank you. All right, now let's check out this and see what it sounds like.
[2:36 - 3:00] All right, that's not bad. I do want to get rid of these three, though.
[3:00 - 3:22] And like in this, like sites like this is what I use. Like if I can't come up with anything like right off the rim, like if I'm having like say a beat block or whatever, I'll go to sites like this to kind of get the ideas flowing.
[3:22 - 3:33] Ooh, I'm liking that. I'm liking that.
[3:33 - 3:42] All right, now let's delete this. Let's start out with the drone tracking first.
[3:42 - 4:07] Let's get the drone tracking out of the way here.
[4:07 - 4:35] All right, I'm liking that so far.
[4:35 - 4:43] It's got kind of like that 80s rock vibe, and I love that.
[4:43 - 4:56] I'm really digging like the 80s rock kind of vibe from that. That is freaking cool.
[4:56 - 5:12] Now, will I do something over this tribe? I don't know.
[5:12 - 5:32] All right, seven goes here. Yo, Satan, what's up, buddy? And then it goes there.
[5:32 - 5:47] Oh, I sure got our lead guitars here. Oh, yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes.
[5:47 - 6:06] Now we're talking. Come on, bitch. Oh, yes, that is sweet.
[6:06 - 6:11] Now I said I might do some vocal work over this. I don't know yet.
[6:11 - 6:26] We have to just wait and we'll see where it goes.
[6:26 - 6:37] How and how and rock rhythm. All right, so that one I'm thinking might go right here.
[6:37 - 6:54] Let's just take a listen and hear how it sounds.
[6:54 - 7:00] Ooh, that sounds good. Ooh, yes.
[7:00 - 7:05] Damn, man, it's got that Black Veil Brides kind of vibe to it. I like it.
[7:05 - 7:12] It's got that BBB vibe. I like that a lot.
[7:12 - 7:22] It kind of reminds me of like, not Scarlet Cross. What's that one song?
[7:22 - 7:38] Fuck, I can't remember the name of it. Oh, that's going to sound good underneath that rhythm.
[7:38 - 7:47] That's going to sound good underneath that lead.
[7:47 - 8:12] Yes, that sounds really good up underneath that lead, man.
[8:12 - 8:23] Yo, Distortions, what's up, bud? But for real though, man, that does sound really good up underneath that lead guitar right there, that howling lead.
[8:23 - 8:46] That sounds really good. Let's play that shoot so I can hear how it sounds.
[8:46 - 8:56] Ooh, that just sounds really good, but we are going to get rid of that for now because I want to single out just that classic, you know, just that classic heavy shit.
[8:56 - 9:13] You know what I mean?
[9:13 - 9:19] There we go. That's what I'm looking for.
[9:19 - 9:28] I don't know, man. We can only help, dude.
[9:28 - 9:38] There we go. There we go. That's what I'm looking for.
[9:38 - 9:46] Yo, that shit sounds good. I might be able to do some BBB style vocals over this shade.
[9:46 - 9:56] [Music]
[9:56 - 10:22] Alright, so what I'm going to do is I'm going to get rid of this.
[10:22 - 10:37] And I'm going to run this all the way through.
[10:37 - 10:51] The reason why is to take a look at it.
[10:51 - 11:39] [Music]
[11:39 - 11:42] Gotta have that bass in there.
[11:42 - 11:45] New, new, new, new.
[11:45 - 11:53] This is me actually checking out BandLab for the first time as far as, like, you know, their music production goes.
[11:53 - 11:59] And so far, I'm actually very impressed with how many sounds and how versatile it really is.
[11:59 - 12:09] Like, I'm actually impressed.
[12:09 - 12:39] [Music]
[12:39 - 12:45] Dude, that actually sounds really good.
[12:45 - 13:07] [Music]
[13:07 - 13:15] I'm actually really impressed with how versatile. I may just end up using this a little bit.
[13:15 - 13:20] Like, this is actually really good stuff.
[13:20 - 13:33] Like, no joke, this is actually really good stuff right here. I'm liking the vibe. I'm liking the sounds that they have.
[13:33 - 13:38] All right, let's check this out.
[13:38 - 14:02] [Music]
[14:02 - 14:06] I like that. That is fucking cool.
[14:06 - 14:13] All right, so we checked out the rock side of things.
[14:13 - 14:19] I'm seeing other crazy styles that we can come out with. Like, that's actually really good stuff.
[14:19 - 14:27] I'm actually really liking the versatility of it.
[14:27 - 14:32] Let's go, bros. Loops.
[14:32 - 14:37] Packs. Let's see what they got in packs. Holy shit.
[14:37 - 14:42] They got a lot, man. Holy crap, dude. Y'all seeing this shit?
[14:42 - 14:53] Dude, I'm actually thoroughly impressed.
[14:53 - 15:04] [Music]
[15:04 - 15:13] Dude, they actually have a lot. Holy crap, dude.
[15:13 - 15:37] Oh, I shot a midnight well fly. That sounds like that would be an interesting one to mess with.
[15:37 - 15:44] Now, we're just going to go down the wall. Holy shit. They have 20 low fly bases.
[15:44 - 15:48] Damn, that's a lot, actually.
[15:48 - 15:54] So, we're just going to go through and layer these in.
[15:54 - 16:01] But so far, I am actually very impressed with the versatility of BandLab.
[16:01 - 16:10] Like, this is actually really good. And they did add a new feature where you can release your music and shit.
[16:10 - 16:14] But I'm not going to do that just yet.
[16:14 - 16:31] And because of the fact that I want to go a different route with it, I want to wait until the physical copy release in March.
[16:31 - 16:37] But, dude, this is actually very impressive.
[16:37 - 16:44] Hey, Tangerine, what's up, buddy?
[16:44 - 16:51] But, dude, I actually am really liking the versatility of BandLab. I'm actually impressed.
[16:51 - 16:57] I never really messed with BandLab as far as beat making or production goes.
[16:57 - 17:06] I've always messed with them for the recording side of things because they had some really interesting stuff added in that I really enjoy.
[17:06 - 17:13] So, you know, that's like the only reason I really messed with them. I never really messed with them until now.
[17:13 - 17:31] Like, this is actually, I'm glad I decided to jump into this.
[17:31 - 17:40] Also, a shout out to the Homie Lifestyle did it for hooking me up with the new beat pack that he dropped for free, man. That was fucking cool.
[17:40 - 17:47] He's fucking loving the new beat pack, homie, for real. It's good shit.
[17:47 - 17:53] See, that was 12, 13.
[17:53 - 18:01] Hey, morning, man.
[18:01 - 18:11] Hey, y'all, Tangerine, y'all doing good, bro?
[18:11 - 18:37] Just in here sipping on some coffee, chilling, exploring BandLab and just kicking it, bro.
[18:37 - 18:42] I hope so, Tange. I really do.
[18:42 - 18:52] Because I said Marty's one of those ones that you're never too sure of, which I said, I mean, if he is leaving me alone, that's good.
[18:52 - 19:01] But also be wary, though, because like I said, Tange, I know him actually better than anyone and I know how he can be.
[19:01 - 19:10] Like he might be looking, like I said, if he is, that's good. But also just be wary, because he could be plotting and planning at the same time.
[19:10 - 19:14] So, you know, just keep your guard up.
[19:14 - 19:27] Because I said, I'm not going to go after him unless he goes after me. You know what I mean?
[19:27 - 19:35] Yeah, exactly. And see, and that revolves around me. All of that revolves around me, like, and that's what I'm saying.
[19:35 - 19:43] I'm pretty sure at some point I'm going to get brought up in that because, you know, as you guys know, I am trying to get into esports.
[19:43 - 19:48] I am trying to become a full-time competitor.
[19:48 - 19:59] So, I mean, you know, and a lot of people ask me, like, why do I do it? Why do I do it? It's like, dude, I fucking love racing, man.
[19:59 - 20:18] I grew up watching fucking NASCAR. Like, come on, I grew up watching Richard Petty and Dale Earnhardt Sr. battle it out several times over. Like, why wouldn't I watch?
[20:18 - 20:26] All right, let's check this out.
[20:26 - 20:39] All right, I'm digging the beat. I'm digging that.
[20:39 - 20:48] You know, I grew up watching fucking Colin McRae doing Rallycross racing before he passed, man.
[20:48 - 20:55] Hell, that green hoodie that I have? Whose brand do you think that is? That's Colin McRae's No Fear brand.
[20:55 - 21:13] I fucking love the No Fear brand, dude. I love the Colin McRae No Fear brand.
[21:13 - 21:24] One, two, three, four.
[21:24 - 21:30] My brother, No Fear brand is the shit, dude.
[21:30 - 21:48] All right, let's just take a listen back at the drums and how they sound with this.
[21:48 - 22:00] It's got like that club kind of vibe. I'm digging it.
[22:00 - 22:06] That's actually really fucking cool. I like that vibe.
[22:06 - 22:18] I think it's safe to say I just may end up using band labs a lot more than what I used to now. Shit.
[22:18 - 22:35] If I can create some solid fucking beats on this, then, bro, I'm sick.
[22:35 - 22:40] Yes, I am.
[22:40 - 22:52] As a matter of fact, if you look on my Facebook, I actually have photos that me and some friends took of the series.
[22:52 - 23:04] It's of the main character that I play. And so at then we got some shots and this and that. So it turned out to be real good.
[23:04 - 23:18] And I know he's trying to steal my idea, but you know what? Fuck him.
[23:18 - 23:28] Fuck that, dude. Man, that, bruh, that guy cannot even produce a fucking short film, let alone a fucking series.
[23:28 - 23:41] Like, bro, I created one of the best fucking horror films on YouTube that y'all enjoy, which was The Darkness. Literally.
[23:41 - 23:50] Like, nothing's top in that.
[23:50 - 24:02] So like I said, what I let him do is let him do it. Like, I actually enjoy this shit. I enjoy the challenge.
[24:02 - 24:10] Like I said, Marty's one of those ones that thinks he's being slick, but the truth is he ain't doing jack shit.
[24:10 - 24:23] All he's going to do is sit around and jerk his fucking dick off all day, man.
[24:23 - 24:32] All he's going to fucking do is sit there, jerk off all fucking day long.
[24:32 - 24:42] Yo, where the fuck is this? Yo, where's the weapon at? Are you serious? This is not fucking happening right now.
[24:42 - 24:47] Fuck.
[24:47 - 24:58] Hey, CJ, Carrie, you got the itch? What up?
[24:58 - 25:08] Ah, fuck. And yes, I got my boy, Jeff Hardy, shout out to Jeff. Shout out to the Hardy Boys.
[25:08 - 25:17] Yes, I got my motherfucking, actually, one of my good friends through Instagram, who y'all know, the one owning the motherfucking legend, Jeff Hardy, man.
[25:17 - 25:26] Shout out to Jeff. What's good, bro? Shout out to Matt and Jeff, the entire Hardy family. What's up, guys? Fucking love y'all.
[25:26 - 25:34] Hope you guys are doing good and staying safe.
[25:34 - 25:58] All right, so from what I've seen, I'm actually thoroughly impressed with Van Lab. Like, I actually really like it.
[25:58 - 26:23] Now, I do want to show you guys some of the projects that I came out with through Van Lab.
[26:23 - 26:35] I got all these. Now, what I'm going to do is I'm actually going to log out, and now I'm going to log into one of my other profiles.
[26:35 - 26:46] Yo, Jesse. Yo, Jesse, Jamie, how the fuck did you get unwanted? What the fuck?
[26:46 - 27:02] All right, let's log in here.
[27:02 - 27:28] No, I didn't want that one. Yeah, it's all right. I'm going to choose a mod now, though. So, yeah. All right, let me have a log in here.
[27:28 - 27:38] Maybe if I do this. All right, I am going to have to cover this for just a moment.
[27:38 - 28:03] John, I don't need anybody like Marty fucking to see my damn password.
[28:03 - 28:11] Let's see if this is the right one. What the fuck, man?
[28:11 - 28:27] All right, hold on. I may have to fucking, let me go into my Google real quick.
[28:27 - 28:56] And profile real quick.
[28:56 - 29:13] All right, son, they have to use van lab off of the Chromebook.
[29:13 - 29:19] I tell you what, guys, what I'm going to do, and I'm actually going to end the stream right here.
[29:19 - 29:27] And I'm actually going to stream van lab from my Chromebook since I am signed in on there.
[29:27 - 29:41] So I'm going to end right here. I'm going to sign into my van lab on my Chromebook and we will go from there.
[29:41 - 29:49] So y'all be ready for some bullshit. Peace.
