Oh boy, this is gonna be a long one...
Hello you beautiful people!
It's finally out! The video I have been teasing, announcing and promoting and the video I have been most excited about! I feel like the info I'm gonna share with you is so much that Ill separate it into different parts so buckle up! I promise its gonna be worth it to read tho, I have a special surprise for you guys ;)
PREPARATIONS:
Okay, so: After the Lofi Hip-Hop tutorial I was thinking about how to make my videos (where I actually talk) more organized. At the same time, I wanted to improve on the overall graphical and audible quality. I had 3 problems and I found 3 solutions:
1.Organization: Obviously I wanted to create a script because back when I was recording the Lofi tutorial (and the Future Funk one as well) I had massive problems with expressing what I wanted to express with the right words thus wasting more time at and after the recording. I started out with something 90% of the population doesn't know it even existed: with a Microsoft whiteboard cluster! I collected all the information I wanted to be in the video. The app is synced to my Microsoft account so whenever I would go out I would take my laptop with me and brainstorm outside which helped because I had nothing that could distract me. After I was done (or at least I felt so) I started writing the script. The process alone took me over 2-3 weeks to complete, only writing down the basic ideas at first and only then organizing them and noting down jokes and improving them. Yada yada, I ended up with 4 PAGES of script, Jesus Christ...
2. Graphical and 3.Audible quality can be summed up to one: I knew I wanted the video to be better in any way shape or form. For that I got myself a new tripod and, most importantly, I FINALLY found out how to record on my phone without the stupid time limit. Obviously, the phonecam was WAY better than the webcam that I used. Although I used the same mic (Blue Yeti Mic) I improved the quality of my voice by far by using Voicemeeter, a free program that compresses and EQs your mic signal. Funny enough the voice was recorded in Audacity out of all programs xD
EDITING:
The part that both, took the longest time to complete, and had the most coffee running through my veins was definitely the editing! I spent almost double the time on the editing compared to the script making but it definitely paid off!
Preparing the main video: At first, I had to separate all clips I wanted from the clips that were trash (I actually made a separate blooper video! Its pretty funny, here, as a reward that you've come this far: youtu.be/RWmA0x-BbJk ). This process alone took me over a week plus a couple of sleepless nights because I was so focused on editing.
Obviously, there were a lot of cuts needed to be made, especially zooms and texts
Animation: Yes, it even had a stop motion animation! I individually drew out all the 46 frames on a 3-buck-whiteboard I got from a dollar-shop (this sounds so ridiculous), scanned them in, edited them in Gimp, put them in a separate Sony Vegas project, animated it and only then put it in the main project. Phew, it took SO much time but it was worth every second!!!
Lastly, I wanted to talk about the background music. Who would've thought, it was all made by meeee, yay! It featured some Lofi Hip-Hop tracks that I have already posted and a jazz loop that I experimented with for quite some time. It also featured my newest song "On The Rooftops" that's out on Soundcloud rn so go check it out.
If you've made it this far I want to officially congratulate you for graduating in Abrixoligy, the art of making everything longer as it should be!
Real talk, the support I got from all of you is absolutely AMAZING. It makes me happy every time I get a new comment. Thank all of you so much for watching this, I spent a crazy amount of time to create this video!
Thank you for reading all of this! In fact, you're all so great that you deserve two videos as a reward! Thank you for being with me on this wild journey that is Youtube:

![[Future Funk] Vaughan Mason & Butch Dayo - Feel My Love](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/GBy4S2JW-MU/hqdefault.jpg "[Future Funk] Vaughan Mason & Butch Dayo - Feel My Love
Hello you beautiful people!
Back with some new Future Funk. This time I remixed the song from Vaughan Mason & Butch Dayo. Absolutely loved the way the song sounded. It sounded so funky the whole way through! Fun fact, this remix actually wouldve never happened if my friends wouldnt have recommended the original to me. We were just talking like we always used to and I came up with a challenge to make a Future Funk Remix out of anything they would choose. And here we are, with a song that is (to this day) the most viewed song on my Soundcloud AND on my Youtube, isnt that crazy?
When it comes to the edit if the video I laughed my ass off while doing it! I randomly found a video of people dancing to funky music, sped it up, and chopped it up so that it would look smooth. God the energy they have in that video alone makes me pumped up. My friends and I had a great time just picking out the individual dances. Thankfully I went back and (along with the Fall For You song) remade the thumbnails in 1920x1080. Now, every time I make cover art for my songs I make them both in 3000x3000 for my Soundcloud and 1920x1080 for my Youtube.
The positive feedback you guys give me throughout all of my videos means so much to me. In a way, it even has influenced my music. I now am way more pumped about perfecting and releasing new music than I ever was before. Getting 200-300 views on a dead channel is already a big milestone. With time, hopefully, people will come back.
As always, have a great day and enjoy this video as a reward for watching mine: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkABKc0QOaI

Hello you beautiful people!
Im back with another Lofi Hip Hop track! I had an absolute BLAST making this song. I started with yet another loop I found and it inspired me. I chopped it up, as usual, and so forth BUT this track is something special (at least for me) because I finally got to use my E-Guitar for the first time! You can hear them at 1:34 . Although theyre very subtle and have lots and lots of delay and reverb in them I find that it adds so much depth and personality to the track. I ABSOLUTELY geeked out when I tried it out at first, obviously, I struggled with finding the notes quite a bit but in the end, it all paid off 100%! I even had some harmonics in there (and had to finetune them cause they were some cents off). That external audio interface I bought was worth every penny, I tell you! I hope that I will be able to use the guitar again sometime, it was really really fun!
The cover art was made by a really talented artist and music producer Yung Phat. In my opinion, it resembles and embodies the feeling I was trying to bring across with the song perfectly, just a sleepless night where you just lay in bed and look at the moon/ the stars and, just exist. Check them out!

Hello you beautiful people!
I am back with a Lofi Hip-Hop song! This one is pretty special to me since this was the first video after the Fall For You collab with Edgar Willow where I could finally apply everythign that I learned from him! Starting with the initial sample I changed it in a drastic way. The first step was pretty easy: as always just chop the sample into a loop. The second step is where the fun begins: I took the same sample loop and reversed every part individually. This created the feeling as if something pulled you (musically speaking). Added with a Delay effect and a some reverb it sounded VERY very nice.
I love to just chill out while listening to the song. As the title already said, this is something you would listen to if you were in a car while its softly raining and just sitting there and counting stars. I think the thumbnail matches the feeling pretty much perfectly!
As always, thank you for the continuing support in the comments, it warms my heart everytime I see someone new commenting! Heres something cute for watching this video and reading the description: https://youtu.be/d2CTVqt2wxU
Have a great day, stay safe!
