[@treyhudson73]

When you accidentally make a sound that reminds you of a song and then you just f with it for the next hour? Yeah, I'm with ya

[@Artis312]

@@treyhudson73 hell yea lol, i make up a random melody and then it sounds like a song I know then i just continuously play the song by memory of how it sounds for hours hahaha.

Fact , I can appreciate his love for teaching & music 💯

[@YOUrDEAlerwiThHell]

1) Arp (reverb and echo, c minor / or middle note one up -> major mode) 2) Chord from a Song (spread around the chords and add notes , add you to them) 3) vocal acapella (got key and bpm, just harmonize with it) (calibrate brain by using root note (here c), later up an octave ) 4) use a metho you never used before 5) start with a drum ebat and make only 1 chord (by starting with the root note, then 5th and 7th and lastly minor third and second half change ) [always drop a bass:D]

[@benjones6625]

Good video. I like your energy! Keep on going.

[@orinzoncelli489]

i LOVE ur energy man !!! love from the CARIBS

[@richardsullivan2537]

I’m so glad to learn from your site. The best things I learned so far I think is to learn one new thing each track. And keep going that way and using a reference song. Also, as a worker, opening the “daw”, although I’m using a Roland MC-101 and a Tascam DP24SD, instead of daw, anyway, to open my gear every day. Because I would think I need a long time period to work on it and by the time I got there I would have to relearn my equipment from square 1ish. So this is going to be really great. Im a really good song writer but was stopped up by overwhelm trying to have everything perfect on the first go. You are a pretty smart guy. Great job! Also as a contribution back to you. I think if you get a Roland MC-101 you will really dig the sounds and super easy arrangement method on their in combination with your daw.

[@Six2Nine]

Man you make me smile brooooo Fun to watch ur producing. Thug hug bro

[@DELPHI1]

Always good,good,good, very good.

[@Annnabannanna]

Top tier advice!! Starting is always the hardest part for me :/

[@TechnoDad]

Universal Vocal Pack is taking me to the guitar pack...

[@Hazzahead]

That last song was so good

[@yugu]

This was so easily explained, instant sub 😂

[@LLAWREN]

ok ngl, the DnB one was unexpectedly sick🔥🙌

[@Six2Nine]

Melodies are sooooo wavey broooooo damn it

[@pb25193]

This song shined, not because of the arrangement, but because of it's lyrics. It resonates with all of our hearts in a society where it is increasingly hard to find a relationship where we can meet the other persons expectations and we keep thinking that we are willing to lower our expectations but we actually arent.

[@SANYxHOF]

Ok I just finished watching your vid now people wish good luck cause I’m jumping to record my track

[@peaven5713]

[@atexxkay4848]

Fire

[@user-km1tu9yl3q]

I'm usually in a dark mood, but deep and dark to me is focus music.

[@ORIGINAL_MEDIA]

Cool 😎

[@baymax001]

Not a piano! - Ground Breaking Thought 😂

[@NKolehmainen]

I just find a random scale and play some chords in it. Like not in their root form but just random keys until it sounds good. Then I find a bassline and then a drum beat. Then the melody basicly writes itself.

[@SouthStreet24Media]

Epic

[@SANYxHOF]

I came back to your video since I have a question, what instrument were you using in the second tip to start a song?😅 3:32

[@heanz]

yes my bro

[@AnwaarAliOfficial]

Hey Alex, I've just purchased your EDM bootcamp bundle pack, and despite asking several times for the credentials I'm still not getting them, I need a hand with this.

[@jimdolecek6760]

What synth sound are you using for this track

[@Airsman1983]

Is the universal vocal now unavailable I tried to purchase it this morning and was unable to find it.

[@alleecc23]

Do you recommend ableton over Logic?

[@SANYxHOF]

When I ever try to start a song and sounds similar to another song I give up cause I’m afraid of been accused it sounds the same lol and not be creative but this vid just help me 😅

[@fmaylinch]

I wanna be like you. I already have the Audeze, it's a start.

[@YUC5Y3QU3]

What is that program called

[@ceasari]

this video is sick 🤮... Every single thing you did just made me feel like How come I haven't signed up with your classes yet? What am I so afraid of? You are so savvy and you teach so good! I just got to bite the bullet. Thank you kindly for this gem. I would have missed this if my notification bell was off..

[@treyhudson73]

Do it NOW

[@Imabaggyhead]
