Love that you brought up V2 - making the second verse interesting is one of my favourite songwriting challenges!

[@jasongarcia5482]

Thank you..awesome. New producer , home studio from trinidad and tobago.

It's always fun to see where a song "wants to go." As to keeping interest in a song, I'll often write/produce from the gitgo throwing in the kitchen sink and then pull stuff out at the top, with less pulled in the middle and then Katie-bar-the-door at the tail. Other times I'll just write a simple piano sketch, letting things find their way into the production over time. Some songs don't have to happen "today." For example, there are times no matter what techniques I'm using to produce what I believe could be a killer song, it just isn't working out. Those are the days I walk off the battlefield so as to fight another day. Sometimes I just have to shout, "BUCKET!" Couldn't resist.

EXTREMELY and EXPONENTIALLY awesome information!!!!! That panning while recording thing is GENIUS!!!! The less you have to do while mixing... the better. That fix-it-in-the-mix thing is BAD NEWS in my opinion!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@jasonstallworth]

Thank you, Joe. I've been a Studio One user since about 2010!

[@esitoris]

Many thanks Joe!

[@mtheorymkali5770]

bro... you make so much sense ... now i am starting to follow your channel bro. thanks for the info...

[@Mikey__R]

I played a gig with a covers band, with one original song that went: verse, chorus, verse, chorus, verse, chorus + guitar solo, verse, chorus. There were absolutely no dynamics or variation on each iteration, it didn't even have a bridge or a middle eight, just Riff A, Riff B. Repeat till audience dead. I left the band right afterwards. I'm not an expert song writer, far from it, but I wanted to be involved with music that inspires me. Life can be pretty dull for a bass player when there are no dynamics to play with.

[@hotjamsm07]

I try to pan by giving each instrument an area to live in. Loud guitars L/R....accoustic guitars just inside. Depends on the number of instruments. I also, will let instruments come and go from the same pan area.

[@jamesirving3717]

The Biltong! hahahahaha Amazing! Great video!

[@netuno_music]

Joe is a great guy. I always learn a lot

[@paradoxic1888]

Another SA guy here. Biltong and droe wors are the best! Thanks for the tips! I spend so much of my time on sound design which means song arrangement takes the back burner for me which is a bad habit. I've tried out Studio One before and I must say there are certain features I wish other DAW's had. I produce almost exclusively on headphones, and would like to know if you could advise on a decent pair of headphones with a limited budget?

[@cjson]

God bless you Joe, I'm South African. Love the Bible verse in the background. Love the biltong. Love the video. Keep it up :)

Great Video Txs Joe

[@juhanisuominen]

Hey Joe! Just wondering if possibly in the future there could be a PreSonus Sphere "Lite" or something like that for us that already own Studio One 5 Pro and would just love to be able to access your exlusive content like the live streams and so on? :D

[@sora2key]

Hah, I just realized the shring, nyaow, whoop! in the end :3

[@Sullivanok]

Absolutely brilliant video. Simple and informative. I love Joe's "no jargon" approach which really helps. I will definitely use some of these tips on a song I am working on now. Well done from Ireland, Joe!

[@dohnjuan8679]

Thanks Joe! Good Stuff.

[@EkeneJesusVictor]

*Thanks for sharing these awesome tips!!*

[@e.kharimbrazille-ohe]

Great stuff Joe! You are a God send!!

[@antonmarshall2]

As a South African (and Joe Gilder fan), I can vouch for biltong.

[@prodbydramatic]

great advice. Curious is that a apple security research device?

[@dimizmusictv]

That's great tips !

[@joejurneke9576]

Great suggestions Joe

[@jeanpretorius7270]

Funny Easter egg for South Africans @ 5:35. Would love to know more about it.

[@composersgarage]

can we talk more about getting retro active midi capture? the only thing S1 has been missing. pls say something to the people who can do it!

[@presonus]

don't worry...we haven't forgotten. -GBY

[@composersgarage]

@@presonus God Bless you guys

[@ELLIOT8209]

@@presonus please include the diagonal cut to strum chords. Also make the nudged midi notes go around the looped area. Meaning if I nudge a midi note at the end of the loop it will move to the beginning of the loop. This can be good for TRAP hi hats if I highlight them all in the loop and nudge them in sync to test different vibes. The cut and paste function is totally different from this

[@dannylharper6889]

Thanks Joe!!

[@clinterprise]

You guys should hire the youtube user quanta to tag team with Joe on some of the tutorials... he knows his stuff presonus!!

[@ELLIOT8209]

Plus his voice is top tier. He's up there with Gregor

[@85ndombe]

I love Quanta!!!! Thanks for mentioning him

[@user-tf5lg7fc9s]

@@ELLIOT8209 I think he should be replaced by a POC, and yes, I am Jewish. Take your antisemitic conspiracy theories to another website.

[@SwitchVilla]

Great info! Thanks so much.

[@SunTzu192]

You are the man

[@synckeys]

How about the stereo recording or adding a stereo track, is that a way of panning or balancing left and right?

[@GeoZero]

Great stuff here... I love production the most. It's like taking an omelette and adding new ingredients to it. Yummy. On my own songs I like a more "rock" feel. Vocals, Guitar, Bass and Drums. But I will sprinkle some low volume levels of Hammond organs, piano, shakers or percussion, synths, and other instruments that work with the song to propel it forward, give it some acoustical yummy-ness, and keep it exciting. Because my songs will be played live in a 3 or 4 piece band these elements will not be predominant in the recordings (and of course missing in the live versions), but will give the ear something to listen to. I try to take the same approach with other's songs I produce, and only add elements that will make the listening experience more exciting, while not taking away from the artist or band's live performances. You can also change tempos slightly throughout the song. A song at 125BPM can alternate between 123 and 128 easily, with softer parts slower, and choruses or outros faster. Slight variations of tempos will give the song a more human feel as well as provide additional ear candy for the listener, even if they don't realize why the song just got exciting.

Hi joe :)

[@Kidraver555]

Mix early, mix often.

[@milannagg]

I love you

[@native-nature-video]

Presonus fear (Presonus Sphere) :)))

[@mirolund5331]

So many hoops

[@mirolund5331]

Is sphere the answer?

[@Monomorphismus]

I love Studio One but Joe Gilder makes me wanna switch to Cubase.

[@presonus]

Whoa. - Joe Gilder

[@ksjohnson8197]

Ahhhh, that was not nice.

[@brionreid7316]

Second verse, same as the first... but different

[@nafi6941]

Sphere stuff sucks. Now it's an option, not tomorrow. And day after tomorrow the price goes up. I get it, you wan't to be the next Pro Tools, and thats more money that way. But the kickassnesss of S1 is something else. Please don't change and not just say you won't.. I love S1. Joe Gilder stuff is great, the mixing master class was a game changer for me.. Would hope to see more of something like that, this really didn't showcase me anything new. But maybe that thorough content is at Sphere?.......... Keep it up though :)

[@presonus]

Not sure what to tell you other than Sphere is separate from Studio One. You can own S1 without joining Sphere. - Joe Gilder

[@JeighNeither]

A lot of what you're calling producing, I'd call modern songwriting. I think most auteurs write music that way these days, & I'm pretty sure you're an auteur. I guess that's why producers insist on songwriting credits ;)

[@user-tf5lg7fc9s]

12 minutes? Hah, *no.* 1. Crescendo your Songs. (add dynamics) 2. Pan your tracks. (Analogy, your tracks are trash, throw them away in either the left trash can, or right trash can) 3. Verse 2 Rule: Do something different for verse 2

[@satyr3920]

You can't produce with studio one, if the song is longer than 6 minutes or if you want to use 3rd party plugins like waves, fab, t-RackS ... . The bucket is cool, to dispose S1. Studio one - Create with boundaries. Produce with limits!

[@TheLazeeB]

Or you brain is limited !!!!

[@jackc8120]

Is this true, i am switch to studio one from ableton and i dont know if you are serious or not. Is this true that SO is that limited?
