"but I'm an EDM guy" hahhahaha we know ffs

I guess it is haunting now that you mention it, but I always thought of it as having some kind of "nocturnal innocence" to it. The beginning kind of makes you feel cozy and safe in the dark as it crescendos to this fun "burst".

Gonna save this. This might help my music to gain some fame

Came for the cheatcode, stayed for the excitement and fun you´re obviously having!

❤

Is this not a re-upload?

awesome video man even after a year a bunch of super dope chord progression tips

This goes insane bruv, intro and the beat are 🔥🔥🔥

The Veldt is my favorite deadmau5 song!

Genius 👏🏼

I was asleep and dreaming when this video came on and in my dream I was in a house with producers and everytime this melody repeated I’d get up and start dancing like a fool lmao

Man I love your passion and attention to detail, you are so good at getting to the core of what makes good music good, I hope one day I can be making good music too

If you're sleepy you miss how he switches through 12 DAWS in all his videos

As an avid listener of music I think such techniques sound better when not overproduced (such as without the swing) and over incorporated (i.e repeated too many times and for too long that makes the song monotonous). These melodies must be timed perfectly in the song and should end up enhancing the overall feel of the song rather than taking over the majority of the track.

what app name

If you wanna make the song even better, go read the ray bradbury short story of the same name. Listening to the song after understanding the context behind the lyrics is absolutely haunting. Freaking masterpiece

I realize I’m more of a “wing it” type of guy

Isn’t that haunting??? 🎃

Thanks for the tips. 🙌

Sick breakdown, Alex- loving your vids! <3

haunting is right. love this song, so beautiful

It so lovely to see your enjoyment while making this music! Thanks for the tips, I usually make pop music with vocals but I've been meaning to get more instrumentals out so this is a great help!

You said 20% times better. But I think I’m more than 40% better. Anyways, thanks for the tips.

U need to show me how u made the 10 K

It's n absolute masterpiece.

thanks

"idn't that pretty?" indeed Alex. indeed it was pretty.

💪

omg yesss

Awesome! Thanks so much for this video. This kind really helps me a lot!

The "all-bass-sounds-need-a-sub-layer"-people probably come from genres like Dubstep, where many bass sounds are so distorted or in other ways processed that you don't have a clean bass note anymore. In those cases, it's magical, what a separate Sub can do for the track. Just High-Pass your sound (best with some good quality linear EQ) and use a clean sub bass and match any automation.

what program do you use

Whoa!!!!

Love your videos!

3:32 sounds like subnautica

The melody switch/tempo switch was insane back then. I likened it to polyrythms and my song Space Pendulum Swing was heavily influenced by this idea of changing tempos on layered melodies to create polyrythms into syncopations as well. Strobe is one of my all time favorite vibes in music.

I really like your behavior asking whoever is watching the video how good the song is

what kind of headphones does bro have... im afraid he might be hearing me with them...

So boring

it' sucks

Bro has speakers on his head

I still put random notes when I compose… it works fine

Очень полезное видео, благодарю тебя, брат

Man im just gettinginto music and your videos have helped me way more than any of my teachers did in highschool. When i make it one day im gonna say i watched your videos to get to where i am

I know this is an older video but thank you thank you so much I don't have this studio but I'm hoping if I apply this it'll sound better !!! Thank you

5:43 I hold shift and clicked it and nothing happens.

So... I'm gonna take the third and put it up an octave. GOT IT!

For me, this method is just a quick fix because a) you don't know anything about mixing or b) you're too lazy. Why should you simply draw an envelope in the attack range of a wonderfully programmed bass sound and destroy the beautiful bass sound in the process? And all this just to make room for the base kick? You don't have to! Learn to EQ, learn to mix and edit the kick instead of using this method. It's just a shame about the bass.

What app is this?!!

I would say children by Robert Miles is one of the best melodies along side heaven scent by John Digweed
