Chris Tarroza

Hi, I'm Chris! Since Chris is such a common name, many people call me Tarroza. I love creating specifically through video and music. I worked in television as a professional video editor for 10+ years and now I make videos about music production, video editing, and being creative. I spent a lifetime creating for others and this channel is about creating for myself while teaching what I've learned to the world.

KZread is a new journey for me so follow along and see where this journey goes!

Want to work together?

    As someone with the inverse experience (more exposure and play time on piano from an early age) I've definitely concluded that playing guitar helps me be a better piano player, but playing piano doesn't make me a better guitar player. Guitar is definitely the more rewarding instrument because it's a struggle. It's not that piano isn't challenging, it's that guitar is its own kind of challenge. It's much more physically demanding, requiring a lot of dexterity and precision in the fingers that isn't necessary for piano. Guitar demands strong bilateral coordination, a bit like the "pat your head and rub a circle your stomach" trick that isn't easy to do. That sort of motor control where your hands are performing different actions isn't part of the piano experience because both hands just hit keys and the keys just make the correct sound 100% of the time, whereas on guitar, it's not making the right sound at all if your fingers are even slightly off. The expensive mechanisms inside the piano take care of the physically challenging task to make the instrument sound precise and predictable. That all becomes your responsibility on guitar, and it's not easy.

    I learned piano first and can translate a lot to guitar. Scales, chords, triads, inversions, arpeggios, modes... it's all layed on the piano but is much more obscure on guitar.

    I've only played guitar for couple of years after learning as an adult. Then I got stuck because I don't know enough to improvise or be very creative. Learning and memorising songs from tab only gets you so far so I started studying music theory and thought it might be helpful to buy a keyboard. After just one day playing a keyboard I'm frustrated I didn't start earlier. It's so much easier to translate theory to practice on a keyboard and start playing reading notation. Also, if you buy an electric guitar you will spend thousands on effects modellers, pedals, different guitars, amplifiers, speaker cabs etc chasing some mythical perfect tone or perfect playing guitar that doesnt exist. Its just part of the experience.

    Yes Switch, PS4, 360, PS3, 3DS, Vita, Wii U. These consoles are not that old but have been modded. Pretty much every console has a mod of some sort, some mods improve audio and video quality like with the Digital HDMI and RGB video mods for retro consoles, some are mod chips and some are for region unlocking your console. Others are Software based mods, jailbreaking, custom firmware no soldering necessary. It's not as popular today since many people like to play online and use online services but some people like to have a second console as a jailbroken unit like the Switch and the PS4.

    Music theory is easier on the piano, but you can learn it just fine on the guitar. You will need to learn the notes on the fretboard and your intervals. As far as finding the notes its just something you have to practice. I know the nires with ease But after you've done that theory is easy to work with. You should learn what you want first. But any musician will find great value in learning even the tiniest bit of piano.

    The moment you need to transpose a scale on the piano though, it's a nightmare. Guitar you just move your hand around or use one of a few different shapes, but piano it's a different shape for every root of every scale.

  • @chris_tarroza
    @chris_tarrozaАй бұрын

    This is true. It's easier to transpose in guitar, especially with a capo. The one thing about knowing just the shapes means you don't actually know what notes you're playing

    Well thanks. Okay, this is the easy part but unfortunately, you have not discussed the most important thing the video, the audio and the output configuration part which is causing the most issues. encoders and so on. What encoder to use what format etc in order to get the best audio quality. For instance, I can never get the audio right. It sounds lagging and crackling. I have just wasted 2 hours of screen recording and it is totally useless because of the aduio is completely f'd.Could you share your audio settings and explain things regarding this matter?

    I find running Facebook ads has been the best way to grow as an artist. $5 or $10.00 a day is a fairly minimal cost to get your music out to new listeners. Also another good one has been paying a trustworthy source to submit your song to organic playlists. Haven’t had any luck with editorial placements or TikTok/reels content. I’ll likely try some content strategies soon, but its all so time consuming. Takes away from the time I have to create the actual art of the music. Btw awesome video!!

Then I found your other stuff. I wonder how many other people clicked on the link and did the same thing though, without taking the effort to go find your artist page. Just a thought? It's crazy how much thought it takes to set this stuff up

    Pitching songs on Spotify is difficult… a lot of times they won’t even listen to the song unless your music already has some traction. I’ve got some friends who pitched almost every song they released to Spotify and didn’t get put onto a Playlist until their song blew up on TikTok/IG/YT. Don’t feel too down!

    Supertone is a VST and not a usual plugin installed in the common folder so there might be a setting in ME where you need to point it to the VST folder. Looks like this was a bug, an update in Nov 2023 should have fixed it helpx.adobe.com/media-encoder/kb/list-of-bug-fixes.html

    I don't. That said, my input level is turned up quite a bit (which I'm sure audio engineers would frown upon). I record in a fairly quiet place but it's acoustically untreated. There is a bit of noise and room reverb that comes through. I do some noise reduction and processing to get the sound you hear.

    I wouldn't consider it cheating. I've been making music for almost ten years now. I pay guitar, bass, piano and drums. I also live in an apartment with a pregnant woman so most of the time playing loud instruments is off the table. To properly use loops (ie not just dragging and dropping) you have to have an an actual in depth understanding of song structure, music theory, and whatever daw you are using. Threes a lot of creative ways to use loops. Chopping, granulizing, reversing, and changing the tempo and key. Music thrives when you have limitations and using loops allows me to make my own music without needing a band or a production studio.
