"I could do more, but I won't go crazy." _2 seconds later_ "Okay let's go crazy." Really shows why Charlie's stuff is high quality. Always trying to level up the final product.

legend has it he's still on "Hopes up"

coming from someone who also records their own vocals, it's comforting knowing people who are in the professional music business don't always do stuff in one take even if they're able to. I've been using these techniques and didn't even know they were an accepted practice

Watching this course changed the way I approach producing. Spending as much time needed on each individual sound is a production GAME CHANGER

This makes me want every artist to start posting their production processes on youtube. So awesome

Charlie is a real musical nerd

180 background vocals on See You Again's chorus? DAYUMMMM

I started splitting verses and chorus's up into sections and diff takes and it has helped my production alot so i'm glad to see charlie teaching the same method gives me confidence !

180 layers of background vocals for see you again.... I can't comprehend

Just the vocal editing alone takes me an entire day. Align, Melodyne, print, de click, automate breaths, auto tune, print.

Awesome to see the workflow and how time consuming this work is for even the most seasoned artists.

I thought I was cheating by doing my vocals this way, but this motivates me that I'm not the only one doing this lol. I quit for a while because I tried to make myself organically sing everything perfectly and I tired myself out after hours of takes.

What a fantastic video. Seeing Charlie using techniques that I didn't know to solve problems that I wouldn't have seen in my own productions is really interesting. I can't wait to use these in my projects.

This is called passion for music making my friends. I still get down like this every time im in the studio even after 10+ years of Recording/Producing music 🙏🏼

It's great seeing that the process is the same for everyone.

Im not usually the type to buy a course but goddamn, Charlie knows his shit and explains it so well I might have to try this one. I'm not personally a fan of his music either but his process has got to be one of the most inspiring I've seen. He's a true musician.

He's such a genius man

Stoked I stumbled upon this as Classical Music postgrad, but studio tech/production enthusiast. Regarding your video, I humbly present my observations: Your didactic skills match your obvious musical gift (which works like a charm with the unasuming way you bring it to the camera, in my opinion), great patience, well versed DAW/workflow/instrument fluency/interfacing, and wow! ... your creativity (multi timbre "hopes up" layers). Married to technical ability (and enviable familiarity with your equipment), I believe all viewers have their hopes up now. Well done.

I think all this comes down to patience. As new artists, we get so excited to put out new music. If we would just spend that little extra time. That can take a good song to a hit with tweaks.

He wrote and produced his own songs I feel Charlie deserves more of credit ❤

his "robotic scrappy starting vocals" was already heaven wtf

Really great to see how he works through songs. Definitely given me some things to think about for when I'm recording.

I do it almost exactly the same method! Thanks, I’ll try the extra tips with my next song :))

I'd love to see his approach to panning group vocals...making it sound as organic as possible, and as wide as possible.

Great to have him mention VocAlign. Charlie is an amazing writer and singer AND VOCAL PRODUCER. ❤️

This is great! I feel like this also demonstrates the importance of vocal technique for singers. Yes Quincy Jones and Bruce Swedien (Mostly) used the distancing technique on Michael, but Michael also sang full phrase's of lyrics. The word by word technique used here should not be confused as something that Michael Jackson did as a vocalist/recording artist in the recording booth. But surely the mic techniques, which is mostly credit to recording engineer Bruce Swedien, I've also learned is a neat trick. Singers, it is still VERY important to KNOW HOW to sing as oppose to being only "able" to hold a pitch. KNOW what you're trying to do with your voice/instrument.

I'm not a producer, but i love to understand the techniques behind the musics i'm listening to. I'M A HUGE PUTHINATOR ❤

Growing up in Uganda, I listened to Charlie Puth and I've always been a big fan. Watching the master create is a huge honor for me. Thank you.❤

That demo was 🔥🔥🔥

wow. this made me way more confident in my recording process. I thought there was better ways to get recordings sound good and that the industry would just gatekeep it. nice to see a pro artist recording like i would 😇

A very good explanation in the video on how to make music

Thanx 4 sharing Charlie!!! We love u!!!

Love the simplicity.

The famous Atlantic APG vocal recording template, love that template very efficient.

Super professional the only thing I don't like about Pop is the polished vocal sound. His voice is amazing and would probably sound even better without tuning. I know it's part of today's sound but I always think about those old singers and how different the feel would be if someone tuned them. I can't stand my own voice with tune but it's tolerable when it's natural

Just found this channel. Awesome tutorial thank you!

Oh gosh, now I know it's officially okay to stack up so many vocals! lol Doing vocals are so hard, because I can't find that good sound, but I am not giving up!!! ...And I like Charlie Put. This makes me like him even more! Thanks for the advice!! ❤❤❤

the sauce I needed this week, thank you CP

Seen him perform live and dude is the real thing ❤✊🏾💯

Great tip man. Its interesting the hole work that the vocal production can have. Thank you!

ngl i kinda just assumed this channel had like 1m+ subs and then I checked, how does this only have 6k subs?

Man, I never thought I’d hear “goofy voice” and “Michael McDonald” in the same sentence… 😂 Seriously though… Charlie’s got a serious gift! This is incredible stuff and he makes it look easy!

Yay, mentions Quincy, MJ, Tears For Fears and Michael McDonald off the top of his head. So glad to have him on the pop scene.

this is so god damn inspiring and motivating. I instantly want to do this myself, cause ist so fun.

so cool to see a bigger artist showing their abilities / techniques for free :))

by the end of this video the only thing i had left was HOPES UP!!!!!!🤣🤣😭😭

It's so fun listening to this.

so much to learn from small part of session.. !!

Im telling you bruh if he was band director/teacher I would definitely be in his class. His music knowledge is incredible.

que aula clara! n tem nem como ficar com duvida.

Thanks for sharing! 🙏

Super helpful!

Crazy Skills Mate :) Keep it up ♥

Does any one notice? The scratch demo is really awesome. I think this demo scratch must delivered as a song

Okay...the fact that Charlie validated all the things I've been doing but thought I was the only one...chef's kiss. Love you, Charlie

genial! me funcionò

More like these!

I'm the studio now working on my next album let's go

For people wondering about the mic it’s a U47 which is expensive but telefunken also makes a TF47 for 1800 and warm audio has a WA47 for 1000 which I’ve reviewed on my channel. It’s great! You can get a great sound with a cheaper mic so don’t let this detour you.

Wonder what singers like Freddie Mercury would develop with today’s technologies. 🎤

At least this guy writes his own music and has the ability to record it. That's a lot more than you could say for a lot of so called musicians in popular music.

This made me feel better about wanting to get more meticulous, lol. The punch in syllable technique… I’m at need to just try with certain notes as I continue to experiment with my new sound. I mean… Ryan Tedder and Charlie Puth, 2 of my faves, why not try out a technique they approve of, haha 🙌🏿💪🏿

Great tips here thx Charlie

Thank you for this ❤

After seeing his full 30 day course, I ain't afraid to layers stuff anymore!!

Hopes

wow.. i'm so glad I watched this. That trick where he sang the C# as an A natural and pitched it up is genius..😯😯

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY AND ENDLESSLY EASY BASIC SIMPLISTIC AND ELEMENTARY AND IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY "difficult" OR "confusing"

Ugh , this is fantastic . Thank you .

Hey Guy's! I'm from Anchorage, Alaska Charlie is super inspiring

Thank You 🙌🙌🙌🙌 Very Helpful Video 🔥🔥🔥🔥.

ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLY AND ENDLESSLY EASY BASIC SIMPLISTIC AND ELEMENTARY AND IN ABSOLUTELY NO WAY "hard to explain"

Love it. My last track only had 90 vocals...so I feel better about my life.

I like his songs but I didn't know how he makes a song, and I was really surprised there are many vocal layers in one part of a song. He is a genius🤩

Love how creative he is

Its easy if you think it's easy! That's what charlie did!

AS USUAL, his voice NEVER gets old!😉👊💯

beautiful, i wish i can help him in the making of his songs

For the ones wondering about why A is better to tune to C# I think that is because it's a mayor 3rd. Tried several times with other notes and my self-learned explanation is that it shares frequencies within the chord or the main structure of the scale that has the note/harmony you want to transpose. I'm not sure if I'm talking bs here but it worked for me

11:50 *Does it first try… wasn’t recording, feels embarrassed* 😂

good job

Excelente 👍

As a singer and someone who understands the advantages of utilizing modern resources to sound the best we can (like limitless tracks for example) and also someone who's a singer that isn't "pitch perfect" but realistic, doing repeated takes to get that one good take, singing the same part 50 times in 20 different ways to nail what he wants, I really appreciate the transparency that comes with making a good song. Feel like the "illusion" of singers these days is meant to be broken and exploited to show everyone that nobody's perfect. We're not all idk frank sinatra or something but it doesn't take away from our musicality or talent and I love how someone as prolific as Charlie Puth sorta shines a light onto what makes an artist an artist these days. Not to take away from his talent because as a singer alone dude has the voice of an angel but I also play a producer role as most indie artists do these days. It's not all rhinestones and gems we have bad days where our range is lacking, we have some notes that we struggle to hit, and I do feel that as an ARTIST we're multifaceted and I think this too should have a light shined on it cuz it ain't easy making it all work and make sense and all in all really appreciate as I said earlier just the transparency that comes with making a good song a good song. Feel the public has a misconception of the work that goes on behind the scenes and I applaud him for giving tutorials with the talent he has and notoriety he has to shed some light on how things are actually done. That "movie magic" if you will. Dudes a great musician and I applaud y'all for sharing some tips to help the rest of us make them dreams come true.

this video made me delete all my vocals ever recorded and start all over again to make it perfect this time!

Awesome !

I’ve been doing stuff like this for a while, was never taught it just kinda figured it out myself. Makes me feel a hell of a lot better now that the techniques I developed aren’t quite as random as I thought 😂

I know nothing about music but I sense this guy knows his stuff.

he's an absolute musical genius

I like him and he's very talented but I like more the natural way of singing and creating background vocals with emotions. Almost the whole time i was comparing this video with Mariah Carey's and Brandy's work in the studio on the roof. That was kind of inspiring.

Good to know Charlie also makes that face when recording overdubs

Brilliant

Charlie: I can hear myself hitting the C natural Me: I can hear you singing really well 😂

I have great respect and love to you Brother you are very gental man with big heart ... God bless you......

What a rememberings UAU I would like it too much

its crazy how this is one of the biggest artists of our generation and hes just fucking about on youtube, so cool.

i still think of bro a youtuber what a goat

Amazing video, thanks! Shame that it was mostly in mono though :(

awesome!

This is really interesting to watch. And it proves that good music is worth the time investing in it.
