 What's up everybody once again, it's Brian man Sean and we got to talk about when being scar Lord triple X 69 Bill Sabre and so many of these artists who have a distorted sound Goes wrong and to make it clear. I'm not talking about these particular artists But I'm talking about upcoming artists who's trying to make similar type music One of the biggest mistakes that I get when I hear and talk to a lot of these underground artists Who are just really starting out is thinking that this distorted sound that all of these artists use is a result of not Doing what a lot of the artists who have very polished sounding music do but that's just not the truth Let's say scar lore for example. Do you think something could sound that wow then distorted? But still sound good if it wasn't mixed properly What a lot of artists need to really understand is that people still mix this music This is just a different type of mix just like if you do country music It's mixed differently than hip-hop music and there's various types of mixes even within hip-hop That's why Jay-Z likes to use his same mixed engineer young guru Since like the last 20 years because guru gets his music to sound how he likes his music to sound Why that's so important to note and what I mean by when it goes wrong is I've heard a lot of these artists Music and it doesn't sound good and you say oh no, but I'm going for that distorted feel Is I'm going for that unmixed that unpolished feel but the issue is when you play it for fans Fans are used to hearing these high quality mixes. Yes, it sounds distorted sounds raw There are some different elements that are in the music that are in the other More polished types of mixes, but at the end of the day You're not going to be able to connect like you think you will people are just going to hear it And they're gonna say that's trash I don't like how that sounds or the bass isn't driving enough or whatever sounds that need to connect how they need to They're not doing what they supposed to be doing put it this way It's pretty popular for everybody to dress homeless these days because of Kanye West But the thing is some of them homeless clothes that you see Kanye West where they aren't just clothes picked up off the street They aren't just random tears. They're in clothes these clothes Or it's still designed to look how they look put this hole right here in the shirt Put this hole right here in the pants let this be tattered or being too long on this side It was all done on purpose It was built to look like that and it still costs as if that much design attention was put behind it So when someone goes man, $300 just to look homeless Well, it's because they still put $300 worth of design effort into that shirt All that to say bringing it back to your music your music still needs that intentional design Put towards it that sound design that mix engineering Mastering whatever you need to do to get it to sound distorted But still be able to connect with people because you don't want all this stuff to be going on throughout the music And then your voice is just somewhere in the background people can barely understand you and not in one of those Intentional ways is just like what are you talking about or your voice sounds like you turned it down to one While the rest of the track is on a hundred volume or something like that and that's really it for that matter You have to pay attention to what's really going on I know a part of the music industry is to make things seem like they're rarer than they are or make them seem like They're easier or more magical or bigger than they are But at the end of the day there's real work being done in the background And if you want your music to sound like those artists I get it like especially scarlord the fact that his junk is it's so Extremely distorted sounding but somehow it still feels good and he's his fans rapping that he does with it a lot of times It has a great feeling I get it But there's work to be done to get it there one last example There's rambly just came to my head is a lot of people look at abstract paintings and say yo man They just put this randomly here and this randomly there like I don't get it a three-year-old could do that But oftentimes those abstract paintings that are selling for millions of dollars were done by people who were Still specialists they built all of the techniques they put time in their masters of their work and then eventually as they mastered the craft They became more and more abstract and because they mastered techniques Although you might see it as just completely random. You're an untrained eye Somebody else who is more familiar with what's going on can say yo he did this but he did this on purpose Right this and this came together the way they brought those techniques into unison is Beautiful and it's worth whatever it's worth. That's the same for distorted music Yeah, anybody can make distorted music, but everybody can't make distorted music sound great and that's it for this video Of course, I want to know you guys thoughts as always put that stuff in the comments below and as always If you liked this video go ahead hit the like button if you like it My will share it and if you're not subscribed you know what to do hit that subscribe
