What's up, my name is Roomie, and this is my friend Jonas who also edits a lot of my videos
Friend is a strong word, but that's cool
Okay, *wheeze*. A while back, I was part of a video on Andrew Huang's channel called making music without hearing it
And it was a lot of fun, so I thought that we would do it today
Let's see what we come up with when we make a full song with
singing without hearing anything during the process
maybe that was the reason why you only focus on production last time cuz you realize how much of a bad idea it is to
*Roomie Laughing* try and sing something that you have no idea what it sounds like
I think this might turn out really hysterical especially yours because you suck yeah
That's always something that I have to keep in mind living my life as a sucky person. That's a sucky person sucky sucky
I apoligize to the editor in advance for this like just going through this garbage
Yeah, I don't we only get one hour to make the song
But it doesn't have to be a whole song you can be like a verse and a chorus and whatever so yeah
Let's get started!
three...two
one
go
So I feel like part of this challenge should be to record some piano and then some vocals and like kind of like try to
Build a beat you're gonna start out. We're putting out some kind of beats
I don't feel that much pressure cuz nobody expects it to be brilliant. How do I do this how to actually record piano?
Let's get some chords in there, so we got a warm pad number one that feels a little basic
Let's do warm pad number two maybe they've improved on number one
Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
I think maybe this is one of the parts where I'm a bit better than Jonas at like
Knowing the keys and whatever we'll see I might be speaking too soon
I'm not good at chords at all so I have no idea what that sounds like Jonas is more of like a listener and I
Both listen, and I know some Theory stuff. Let's have a kick drum
Oh
I'm not supposed to hear that was bad
I really want to hear what it sounds like
I'm gonna swap out the kit cuz I actually heard what that sounded like.
I should be able to see in auto-tune
What notes I'm singing, and then I should probably be able to check the rhythm and stuff in Melodyne
Which is another singing editing tool? Let's see. I need a lyrics lyrics
I don't mind. Let's look at the rhyme dictionary you're
behind
Why can I never be serious about anything? Mug: Because if you did try to do anything serious people would realize how much you suck!
Basically, I'm just gonna do something abstract. I'm gonna describe stuff. I see around me white square
They silence me
Girl, it's really thick girl is really
I don't know if this is like a sexist song or not it can't be just can't the treasure
in sound forgotten sea
Cease and I'm talking about like sees in eyes, but it could also be seas so
*Jonas laughing* ~Behind I don't mind~
This whole thing with trying to feel the tempo is much impossible oh, maybe you just don't have any skills girl
It's really thick yeah, girl. It's really thick. I don't feel super confident about that either. I'm wasting so much time
I got 40 minutes 40 minutes. I can do this. I mean it's not sexist. I'm just appreciating your beauty am I right
Okay, that that looks alright to me
I'm guessing that the notes are all out of whack as well
But I'm just gonna try to fix that now because I can't be bothered to record anymore looks like I'm singing in C
major, which would work in a minor as well I'll be
the voice for
You for the song because I'm saying that's cool. It's not
Girlies really think girl. It's really think girlies really think girl. It's really thick
That's a perfect chorus, and when I say perfect chorus. I mean absolutely terrible be the voice for you
With that boot I mean short for booty boots right. I don't think anyone has ever said that before but I did
I wrote this song without hearing a thing
ok that's just gonna have to work what the... let's record piano for the verse
ba ba
Probably totally out of sync
But I can fix that let's come vocal licking our favorite takes without hearing anything last take of everything
Is what I'm gonna go for I'm like stomping my my feet a lot to try to get the tempo right it's not helping
Too much, it's really hard to sing in pitch and trying to figure out the tempo all I want is a booty booty
I don't care about tutti frutti amazing lyrics
Everybody logic is being about some stuff
So I'm gonna have to restart it basically it's glitching out on me
Graphically as soon as the graphics are the only thing I have to go on I can't have that tutti-frutti
Was actually a show in Sweden when I grew up super which I would never have been made today in a climax of this game
Show whatever the girls had like lift their shirts, and they would have like pasty so yeah
I don't care about tutti frutti means. I don't care about this show about tits. I just want the booty booty
This is a deep song everybody have nothing. I have a sink a pad and vocals and the kick. This is sad
I was being too cool about it in the beginning for sure such a
Horrible idea for a song what am I doing? Definitely playing it to cool a little bit of timing issues here
I need to fix I think I'm doing the right thing. I'm 99% sure you're doing the whole thing swap it out boom
That's my vocals. Let's see where we're at in the clock 12 minutes. Yeah, this is really bad
Let's just delete everything in between there. I did not do a good job with this
Let's get a snare and stuff in there if we have time. Let's see what time we have five minutes. Okay four minutes
Oh my god. The kick isn't even going in the verse. I need to kick throughout the song
We need some high hats some shakers if I BPM shaker. I trust you wow this is so
stupid email verification
I'm just gonna go ahead and copy
the
Piano egg shaker sounds good doesn't sound good
Don't have time 1 minute Wow okay, try to make an arpeggio in 53 seconds Oh with piano piano piano
Oh, this is such a bad idea. I'm gonna regret this and then just move it off and I think
I'm done. Oh, no there's this
Stupid little gnome song it was it even funny the first time
Proper job you're sad
This is gonna be painful. I have more anxiety over this and I did during the actual process
Let's do rock paper scissors and see who needs to start 1 2 3
1 2 3 1
2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
Hey oh
I think I'm gonna start just to get it out of the way. Okay, do it
Let's go behind the shaker
What's happening kick and the shakers so off
Oh
my god
I thought the vibe was better than I thought
I like the synth and everything you had found there's some pretty bad stuff going on like her stuff like a synthase too loud like
You couldn't
almost hear the singing some really funny auto-tune glitches you had the same problem that I had that when you
Recorded the singing I guess you looked at the click right then you become like a little bit behind
And then you couldn't fix it because you didn't Melodyne it like I did that was better than I thought though let's move on to
My probably even worse creation. I don't care about
Okay
This actually works
Usually whenever you and me would do different things. We're both good in different ways we have our own different talents you obviously beat it
Haha, but your chorus you actually work and the melody there's nowhere at all in the melody where you're like
Oh well, that's wrong
Okay, so let's review each other's songs. How many Jonases out of ten do I get? Considering that this you didn't hear anything
I don't think you could do a much better job to be honest
Okay, so for your songs six and a half out of ten
I think it's good and I can hear like the vote you sing great and everything
It's just as a whole it doesn't work out. You know
I'm gonna go through my song and fixed like the most obvious
Things like the base throw that up on patreon.com/roomieofficial you want to fix yours as well
I would like to like fix so the chords are actually accurate to the melody and I'll put that up on my channel so you
Can check it out?
Thanks so much for watching guys
You can buy this mug if you want to roomieofficial.com/shop doesn't talk
But he tastes amazing is any of your set it eclipsed. Yeah, try to drink out of me. I'll see if you so hard you'll
see
You see us okay. Just don't do it. So yeah. See you guys next time. Bye
Sorry, okay do your thing then hey that was fine? Bye bye? I'm gonna write a song in 56 minutes
And it just feels really childish that actually reminds me of another old meme nobody no way no way no way
