I feel like this guy has never made a bad decision in his life. Great content.

[@MakePopMusic]

One time I shaved my sideburns off in high school and that was…. questionable to say the least

[@johnkhalkho798]

Always a pleasure to watch the videos. Every time I walk away with something that makes me a little bit better but they all add up and I have started to realise that - Thanks Austin :)

[@Robangledorf]

This is my absolute favorite tutorial I've seen from you so far. I'd love to see a video about what you love about pro-R as well as a video just on getting everything below 200hz balanced and tight

[@seleckescher2066]

Practical, hands-on techniques and tips! I'm excited to get back into my mixes and try these techniques out.

[@piyushkhanna9554]

Thank you so much for teaching this 🖤, its really helpful

[@monvey7291]

Thank you so much! You are what I've been looking for!

[@MsInstrumentalBeatz]

This is so good!! Got so many ideas about how to spice up my drums. BTW I've watched several of your tutorials today alone and your production and mix decisions are extremely intelligent. I love learning new ways to approach production. Thanks!

[@arn573]

You are one of the few channels who are just.. You know amazing! Keep up the good work austin😁

[@Wensen]

Best music production tutorials on youtube no doubt.

[@user-zh5qp8nf9u]

I just need to know how to make sound like this.so awesome

[@DarthNater]

awesome advice as always!

[@dafingaz]

Great stuff!

[@dulla8469]

austin, glad to see you back... i have an idea for a video which im pretty sure most people want to know, ive been currently producing Pop Tracks while adding trap drums into it, something like some jon bellion songs, Good Things Fall Apart to be exact where the verse and bridge are all stripped with no drums and the hook has this big impact and rise with drums and instruments that are so big that it sounds like a house track, can you please make a video explaining how to get BIG productions on the hook with the drums and synths cause i always try to do it but after adding the instruments and the drums it still feels week

[@sunnyplace8676]

Dude your bass is awesome here! Love the video!

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks! It’s just one of the basses from our free Saucey Basses pack!

[@JoshuaSavio7]

Nice tutorial. Step by step procedure is always better and then at the end Tweaking stuff. Pls also do a tutorial on Balancing all the sounds in the mix that makes the song ready for Mastering.

[@SoniqSounds]

Going to have to use that doubler feature!

[@Jertva21goVeka]

Очень крутое и полезное видео , большое спасибо ! 😍

[@houstondrip9930]

Thanks this is helpful. I was wondering could you do a vocal mixing tutorial using only iPad/iPhone like Cubasis, Auria pro, AUM or even GarageBand. I feel like you could show us how to get a great sound there as well

[@SharaniShamman]

imma start using them

[@KevinStock12]

Would absolute love a video on all the ways you are using FabFilter Pro-R

[@OK-ei7io]

Great video!! Would you consider doing private zoom lessons?

[@adamregan4921]

Great content, New subscriber. 👍🏻 Curious why don't you use Cubase reverbs and eq? Do you use many of the stock plugins?

[@tobiasmc]

Nice, you got a new sub.

[@LATINBEATSDJ]

hey austin can you make a video on how to get vocals like Dua Lipa on this video...... J. Balvin, Dua Lipa, Bad Bunny, Tainy - UN DIA (ONE DAY) Sounds amazing and i know you will be the one who can explain and show it correctly. thanks for all your videos.

[@andersekoli]

thank you austin! I hate drums, now I hate them less! So bloody common that I sit listening to a song I'm working on and it feels like the drums is another song just playing at the same time.. not it feels a lot better!

[@g.o.9513]

So when producing drums it is more about placing the drum with the appropriate timing first. Then, the refine process occurs. Does that sound right?

[@horstlippitsch]

Awesome! Are the drum samples wave files? (from splice?) or midi sound from Groove Agent?

[@workmusic865]

Hi Austin! Thanks for your tutorial.. Please make a tutorial to "Mixing a drum from EzDrummer" .. Rock/Pop Rock/Metal drum.. Thank you..

[@camronbridges4543]

That HiHat trick is so good!! Gonna use that one to give some space!!

[@monkeyshd]

Hey, wanna ask you a question. What the software he used?

[@aronkristensen2051]

@@monkeyshd Cubase. Just switched to it from Logic, for school.

[@AutoclaveBeats]

Thank you so much for sharing this...that Bass is Killer Bro...please what are you using for it?

[@MakePopMusic]

The bass is one of our free Serum presets! Download our free content from the link in the description and check the Saucey Bass Serum pack!

[@floridastreethockey]

Plz plz make a lorde/lana/ jack antoff type tutorial ! Keep It up!

[@jeremyformerlyknownastoken8218]

KANYE TYPE SONG!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@colbyhelms7454]

Kanye!!!

[@ransomzac]

KANYEEEEEE

[@angelokazuto279]

Do you have tips about mixing multiple layers of sounds as one? Because sometimes i use ott to make them intact and maintian the wideness but sometimes it gets messy Like for example mixing 3 pads to make another unique sound and etc.

Where can we get these drum samples?? Been looking for these.

[@MakePopMusic]

[@sivarajan5440]

RIGHT, BUT WHEN I THINK MY DRUMS HIGHLIGHTED IN THE SONG, CHANGE THE PITCH IS PROBLEM( I MEAN IT REDUCE THE HITTING HARD)

[@loss5374]

I need you lesson make vocal chop in this song bro

[@MakePopMusic]

It’s just from Arcade by Output! It’s one of the vocal chop modules they have and I played around with it!

[@christophrohde1415]

Damn🔥 How do you do the Reese Bass or the Bass Group components in general? Awesome 💥

[@MakePopMusic]

Make pretty much all of my bass sounds in Serum or Ana2. This was Serum and it's pretty simple! You can get some similar patches in our free Saucey Basses free download! Just raise the cutoff on some of those and it will be identical to this!

[@christophrohde1415]

Make Pop Music Thanks for your quick answer. 🔥#straightVideos

How to Get The Perfect Bass Plssss

[@chriscostello7759]

what do you guys use for drum samples for pop music? I want to make stuff like Onerepublic/Charlie Puth and all i have is the KSHMR 3 pack. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :)

[@MakePopMusic]

Check out some of the packs we offer! I think you’d really like Disco Pop, Indie Pop, Sounds of Life and Vintage!

[@chriscostello7759]

@@MakePopMusic awesome, thanks so much, I'll def make sure to check those out :)

[@chriscostello7759]

I also have Trillian Bass, was wondering if i need to get Modo Bass or if i should be good on that for bass. Im just trying to figure out what all i need as far as sounds go for pop music. I mostly use that & Nexus and have a few Kontakt libraries for guitars.

[@akshaypadmashali8686]

What if we're using more of a natural drum sound from an actual drum kit or a vst plugin like addictive drums .. how would u process that to fit modern pop?

[@akshaypadmashali8686]

Let's say for something like cake by the ocean by DNCE

[@MakePopMusic]

First step would be finding the right samples, then I’d go with similar steps. Make sure they’re the right pitch, adjust attack and decay, compress and EQ, dial in the room sound (huge component of natural drums) and then just blend samples and layers 😁

[@lukewilliams7020]

Why did you use groove agent for solely a single kick as opposed to placing all your drum samples into the same groove agent ?

[@akshaypadmashali8686]

@@MakePopMusic I recorded my drums from scratch at a studio.. I'm just practicing .. how would I start processing the drums to fit in a modern pop sound.

[@akshaypadmashali8686]

@@MakePopMusic ok thanks

[@socproductionsofficialtv1]

PLEASE MAKE TIMESTAMPS....I CANT VIEW IT ALL THE WAY..ALSO DO THAT FOR YOUR FUTURE VIDEOS

[@Linkoftimeg]

I litterally just started using cubase yesterday i upgraded. The EQ is so sensative compared to my last DAW. I needed this cause apparently i am doing something wrong :(

[@Linkoftimeg]

This video is exactly what I needed help with thank you!

[@Synard66]

The perfect drums aren't samples

[@MakePopMusic]

Depends on the sound you're going for. Good luck getting a hip hop or electronic drum out of an acoustic kit with some mics on it.
