      Rick Beato is a music YouTuber and overall insufferable dipshit and borderline child abuser. He started plugging a self-published “book” several years back that was supposed to be a self-contained songwriting and music theory course, but it’s mostly just gibberish and copy-pasted scale/chord finder/circle of fifths diagrams yanked from Google Image Search.

      KDH, our beloved Irish drama llama, did a takedown video:

        Oh this guy!!! When I was in uni, one of my music teachers recommended an episode of his podcast where he talked about the human element in music or something. Like how when producing music on the computer you should always adjust the timings or amplitude of each note to make them slightly different, to sound like it was played by a human, to make it more emotional sounding. And I can get the idea behind that - like many things in music production, it’s a cool trick to add to your arsenal - but Rick Beato was obsessed with it. Like he said you should use this trick every time or else your music doesn’t count as music because it’s not emotional enough! Like, no, I’ve cried to EDM before. It seemed like he had an opinion on the types of music he liked and was pushing those as fact rather than his opinion.

        Also on the same episode of that podcast he shilled cryptocurrency.
