1. whOaoAOAo aka Throat length or formant shifting Tool: Autotune Automated Up the throat length of the autotune and pulled it back for the drop. 2. Sing an octave up and pitch it an octave down interesting warbled husky Tool: Soundshifter by waves 3. Adding non chord tones Normally we use chord tones for harmony 4. Automate an 1/8 Delay to a swell

ALWAYS GOT YOUR BACK HOMIE

[@gregfender]

Dude I love this breakdown of your song. The tips and tricks are definitely cool, but I really dig seeing the behind the scenes on a song I’ve been digging on and getting an inside look at what’s going on under the hood.

[@john_mclucas]

I’ll be doing a pop production deep dive on the song at the end of the month! I just got a focus on one thing at a time so my coaching program people told me I got a knock it off till I’m done with my first goal ha ha

[@gregfender]

John McLucas fair enough! I’ll be looking forward to that deep dive when you get time for it!

[@demoinglife]

Great info in this video, and I want to try some of these ideas

[@john_mclucas]

Would be really cool to see it applied in your context

[@kyleshields4166]

Love this! I've never even played with the throat length feature in autotune lol love the way you explain this stuff :)

[@john_mclucas]

Thanks man! I would love to see how you put these tips into action in the future :)

[@valeriosiciliano4272]

I was looking for a way to make the first effectttt, useful

[@john_mclucas]

I GOT YOU ALL DAY VALERIO

[@ColinBurkeMusic]

Lol the D is just making the chord Both a Sus2 and maj7, but yes that is a good harmony tool

[@apzzpa]

If you are interested it is a CMaj7/9. An add 9 would be typically without the 7th as usually any extension above the 7th i.e 9th, 11th, 13th, the 7th is implied because you are building upon it. A chord is typically is four notes root 3rd 5th 7th and a triad root, 3rd and 5th. The chord, a seventh chord is your foundation which you add the spice on top but just because you add a 13th doesn't mean the 9th or 11th is implied they are just extensions. I hope someone finds it useful :D

[@john_mclucas]

Yo rain thank you so much homie so mad useful!!! ❤️❤️ I learned from it!

[@apzzpa]

@@john_mclucas No thank you man, great tips!!

[@john_mclucas]

Excited to see how you apply it, if you use these down the line give mea tag so I can repost it!!

[@john_mclucas]

Wait isn’t there one already out? I forgot who made it but I think I saw a documentary of hers a while ago.

[@donmathews109]

D in the key of C is functionally known as the Supertonic and can drone perfectly fine and is very much a part of Cmajor. i thought you were going to drone a C# or F#. Those are out of the scale entirely

[@john_mclucas]

honestly i may have misspoke some technical detail v possible

[@aaronleung8809]
