I was taught to never start with vocals, which always made me a little sad since I could hear the melody in the lyrics so easily, and I can write lyrics anywhere and save them in my notes app. I have so many half and fully written songs that I didn’t think would see the light of day bc I couldn’t make music that fit it. Thank you for showing this process, I would’ve never thought to try it as a beginner since most people say it’s harder. Watching this made making music look easy and fun again, and inspired me.

Music is art, and art doesnt follow rules. It s good to have rules but you must decide which to break when. I often start to try something, no matter what. And at the end I have a song. This guy is certainly great. Unfortunately I counldnt find the free vocals

this is one of the only channels I've found where the person actually just gets to the point and clearly explains what to do. Some of these other guys I've watched take like an hour to explain what you do in 10 minutes

@rainymakesmusic Жыл бұрын

I seriously appreciate your tutorials as someone who is still relatively new to producing! Sometimes this stuff is just intuition to me when I get bursts of inspiration/ideas for songs, but I usually get stuck part-way through an idea because I don't know what to do next. Hearing you explain these topics and how to actually develop these musical ideas further is really motivating!! By the way I really love the little moments in your videos where you show your excitement about something you just did, like 5:42. That's really just how it feels sometimes!!

@jennisonb37 Жыл бұрын

I'm not sure how many producers (especially newer ones) have access to original, fully arranged acapella vocals. As the title of this video implies, if our arrangements already suck, it probably means we definitely do NOT have that. I still learned a ton by watching you produce a really cool track with those vocals. Thank you, Alex.

What I ve learned from this video: a song has an intro, chorus and vocals, usually you drop at the last chorus, you can make a melody by matching vocals, add repetition, but change it a bit between the 3 sections of the song, add expression, transition effects are a must. And also I need to get some plugins lol

I love your content. I just started music production after quitting making music more than 10 years ago to start my programming career so that I can get a paycheck to be able to pay the bills. Now, after a couple of burnouts, I've found back the joy of producing music. I'm in love with the melodic house and expressing all kinds of emotions in a song. And you give the cleaner tips and tricks on how to do just that and you have the most positive attitude. Thanks! Keep doing what you do. Subscribed and clicked the bell.

I have to laugh at myself and my own arrogance sometimes; a lot of times actually. When I first ran across this guy, he struck me as being just like a hyperactive, club-kid friend of mine. I didn't think there was a whole lot of substance, and that he had nothing to teach me. But I found that I kept coming back to the videos. And eventually I realized that I was being a schnook. He might not know a lot of conservatory music theory but he knows a lot of very important stuff about creating actual music that sounds incredible. So, even though I never put anything negative into print, I apologize for my attitude. Great, amazing videos. Happy New Year.
