Making LoFi Beat & Jam: The Story of turning a Hum into a song 【TaTa-TaDa】 Piano, Vocal, Synth, Bass
Hey music lovers and fellow creators!
Have you ever had a little melody stuck in your head, a simple hum that just wouldn't leave? What if that tiny spark could ignite an entire song? Today, I'm incredibly excited to share a brand new video that dives deep into that very process: "Making LoFi Beat & Jam: The Story of turning a Hum into a song 【TaTa-TaDa】 Piano, Vocal, Synth, Bass!"
This isn't just a performance; it's a window into the entire songwriting and production journey, taking a spontaneous hum and transforming it into a groovy, chill loop jam. If you've ever wondered how a multi-instrumental, LoFi Hip-Hop inspired track comes to life from the ground up, this video is for you. It's a raw, unedited look at creativity in action!
The Creative Process Breakdown: A Hum's Evolution
In this video, you'll witness every step as I build 【TaTa-TaDa】 layer by layer. It's a true testament to how simple ideas can blossom into complex musical pieces. Here’s what you’ll see unfold:
💡 - The Spark: It all begins with just a hummed vocal phrase, originally recorded as a short, that became the core idea.
🥁 - Laying the Foundation: Imagining the beat, chords, and bass, then crafting a solid LoFi drum beat at 80 BPM to set the groove.
🎹 - Melody & Harmony: Recording the core melody on the DAW, then using the piano to find the perfect key and pitch for the tune.
🎤 - Vocal Refinement: Re-recording that original vocal humming melody to fit perfectly within the developing track.
🔊 - Deep Grooves: Adding a low, fat Synthesizer Bass to anchor the rhythm and provide that essential LoFi warmth.
🎺 - Brass Brilliance: Layering a warm Synthesizer Brass that beautifully sings the main melody, giving it that classic sampled brass feel.
✨ - The Jam Begins: With all the core elements in place, I just let loose and jam with the synthesizers over the loop, exploring new ideas.
🎸 - Fender Finesse: Finally, adding improvisational electric bass lines on my beloved Fender Jazz Bass to seal the groove and add that extra layer of organic feel.
