Be careful doing it this way. The problem with Charlie's approach is if you pitch the entire master up, you're therefore pitching up EVERY sound in the production. To my ear this introduces artifacts across the track. You might think it sounds better because it sounds better in that key, but it's exactly that, not because the *track* sounds better. You could be addressing the key at earlier stages when songwriting, composing, recording, working with MIDI, etc.

Notes: #1 Putting Bitcrusher on the vocals and maybe cutting lows from vocal harmony layers #2 Layering Whispers. Can layer some barely audible whispers/Harmony before main harmony comes, kinda like to support the harmony. And can layer this with main harmony as well (make these super airy, high pass filter them, don't need the low end, need to keep the song mud free). If you layer these, make sure they sound like one. Cohesive. To whisper or harmonise, can use the last word(s) of the bar. #3 Singing trick. Do a vocal layer with extra wide (almost creepy) smile, makes the vocal unique. Super pronounce these words so that they don't get lost in the mix. #4 Cut off the end of your song. just a slight bit. so that it surprises the listener. Miniscule fade or cut. #5 Tuning your songs higher. After rendering a stem, don't have to tune them exact 5 notes up, can leave somewhere in between too. Imperfections can add human touch to your songs. Also, you can speed up your samples/song and make new sample/songs with them. #6 Transient Master is the best plugin for shaping transients. Making the attack higher makes sound hit harder. Additionally making the release lesser can add extra punch. Doing this you can make your vocal chops sound like weird instruments too. #7 Playing Notes Individually. Instead of recording the whole Midi sequence in once, can play single notes one by one. This gives extra control over each single note of them. You can render these notes and then play with audio files. (If you want, you can slightly remove the initial transients of the notes and even experiment with fading out)

13:36 with all due respect to benny blanco that have to be the dumbest trick ever, you can adjust the attack,sustain or release of a midi sound it doesnt matter if it comes from a hardware or its a plugin basically all the classic keyboards that charlie has right there has the option to do that, Junos, Korgs, rolands, prophet etc... I get the idea of bouncing in audio for more like project safety stuff but not for that silliness... but hey Im not the one who have 493029409234 grammys.

@ScottThePisces 2 ай бұрын

clearly you have no idea how benny started. he used cheap casio keyboards to record his earliest biggest hits (with kesha, katy perry etc) and they DIDNT have ADSR functions. So he learned to do things in his own way. Some of us just prefer working with audio, no need to attack someone for having their own method - Calvin Harris also does the SAME thing, at least he used to with Guitars etc. Playing one note or chord at a time. The main guitar in Katy Perry's Teenage Dream was recorded in this way for reference.

@yuli8897 2 ай бұрын

@ScottThePisces I'm not saying it's bad to work with audio that's the proper way to do it, consolidate things once you like the sound, you are talking about benny blanco like he's a music producer from the 70s he's like from 2008 until now . which already been a lot of plugins and stuff to manipulate the adsr of a sound that's what I'm talking about, if he's doing it this way that's cool but it's slow as he'll to work this way, that's why I'm saying it's the dumbest trick ever which it is but hey I don't have 302029293 Grammy so 🤷 playing 1 note it's just nonsense if you know how to play keys or guitar or whatever you need to do those stuff but that's not even what I'm complaining it's just the "manual audio edit" everyone has the freedom to do music with one note or whatever they want but that manual edit trick it's one of the most silly stuff I have ever seen, he didn't become a top chart billboard producer for doing that sillyness

Depends what you mean because you only really need taste to be a good producer which is subjective. There's plenty of producers back in the day that aren't really musicians

@donnithaballa1165 2 ай бұрын

@@lilwombat As a fellow producer, you not only need your own taste but the technical knowhow so you can achieve the sonic quality of the stuff you like. Which is why Benny Blanco (as a non musician) was so successful is because he had good taste and the technical skills with a DAW (Pro Tools) to achieve the sonic quality he wanted. Which allowed him to get into a lot of these writing rooms because of how fast he was with a DAW and how he became a great writer.

what an absolutely terrible take. these are insanely useful tips for taking your production up a notch. it’s these kinds of things that musicians don’t have to worry about because they’re playing on the tune.
