what's going on guys my name is Cole
Zarick welcome to a video where I'm gonna
be breaking down the first song sunset
off of my new album moon sets now if you
haven't heard the song yet I recommend
going and listening to it so pause this
video and go check out the song be right
back and then we'll go behind the scenes
basically what I want to do in this
video is break down the beat and the
mixing behind it kind of give you guys a
behind-the-scenes of how I put this
together I'm gonna walk through the raw
logic file with you guys and show you
all the things that I did to help make
this beat into a song and towards the
end I'll give you guys some special
insight behind the lyrics some of the
meanings and where they came from would
you guys be interested in merch got this
moon set album logo printed and it has
my own Cole's Eric logo on the back I
also got my own just Coles Eric logo
printed on a black hat I did this to
kind of celebrate the album release just
let me know in the comments section if
that's something that you guys would be
interested in buying any of these two
hat designs alright with all that out of
the way let's get started with the video
so where I found this sample I just
typed in I think just hip-hop samples or
trapped hip-hop samples on YouTube to
find different songs I came across this
sample here so the concept behind this
album is that it takes place at
nighttime so I wanted the very beginning
of the album to sound and have the
ambience of nighttime like crickets and
just noise so I went on to YouTube and
found different sound effects that I
liked that were clear and had good
resolution and I added it to the beat
give that like a demo I'll deconstruct
your whole worldview like a demo listen
so you don't need a platform they have
influence so I really like this
transition I'll mute all the vocals here
but I really like this transition I
think it's building it built really good
suspense from I basically took out all
the highs of the sample created this
this bass that kind of conveyed that
something was was fielding so I have
this one hi-hat just just establish a
rhythm so basically what I did during
this transition was I slowly cut out the
volume of all the outside noise sounds
so you have more quiet and clean and
we're gonna get into the song now I cut
the high frequency of this sample so
that it becomes more muffled and on top
of that I added just a billowing 808 to
create some suspense when you even think
about skipping one track or cut the
music off that's grounds for a specific
years like two or three
I created this album for me so to me
this was the most important part of the
entire album I wanted to stress I even
stress in the lyrics that you better not
cut the music off or skip a single track
because so many times I would go back on
the albums and projects that I put out
on soundcloud and there'd be like three
times the amount of plays on the first
song where the rest of the album just
depletes so I wanted to make that I
wanted to put emphasis on that that this
whole album there's no filler in it
every song stands a
on its own merit that it's something
that's worthy of your attention so the
drop was the most important part so the
inspiration behind this drop is actually
Mike one of my favorite songs off of J
Cole's kod album and that's windowpane
for me that part took me completely by
surprise
I didn't know when the beat was gonna
come in the kick drums just absolutely
hit you out of nowhere and that was the
same type of feeling that I wanted to
inject into this song so I'm especially
really proud of how the drums turned out
in this song my favorite part about the
drums here are the snare so these are
the two I actually stacked two different
snare sounds the first one
you
some of the other things that give this
B personality is when the bright when
the beat drops you hear this noise I
love how that turned out and then when
the beat goes you hear a little
I think injecting those type of sound
effects can give your beat a lot of
personality and kind of take it to the
next level if you can find a sound that
sounds really unique and different
there's another thing that gave it a lot
of hit and personality is this little
percussion sound here so you hear that
along with the snare
and then with the drums all by
themselves when this when the snare hits
it like it like creates tension when the
snare hits and then there's a release
tenet then of course I in I inserted a
deviation of the sample so that it would
come in and it was create this high
frequency sound right when the right
when the when the drop comes in
I also brought the frequency back up so
you can hear all the highs again so
going into the verse I created some
bells to give it a different type of
dynamic so now I'll take a second and
talk about some of these lyrics so I
start out saying I represent a certain
demo meaning demographic under 10k Club
now the under 10k Club to me is anyone
under 10k whatever followers subscribers
just because you have under 10,000 what
Evers doesn't mean you don't have
influence the thing that fueled me
writing this album is the fact that I
could influence that one person it was
clearing out all the masses and trying
to like I want to get this heard by
everyone and it pinpointed more on I
want this to be as meaningful as
possible to the one person that listens
to this album front to back that's gonna
do it for this video I hope you guys
enjoyed watching I really appreciate you
guys let me know what you think about
the hats this one or the the black holes
Eric one I don't know where it is right
now just leave a comment below I'm gonna
probably set up a merch shop and have
that one item ready for you guys to
purchase if that's something you're
interested in I'm gonna try to make it
as cheap as I can I don't want to like
have this more as profit I've wanted to
do merch since I was 16
I'd be in high school painting my logo
on two shirts and trying to sell those
to people for $5 at like street fairs so
that's gonna do it for this one thank
you guys so much for watching again I
will see you guys in the next video
peace
