Glad you’re willing to share your secrets, so many producers are secretive.

[@baronvonbeandip]

For no reason, either. Like, what does someone stand to gain by not having strong competition? Being a producer is about making good music; who says you need to be the one to make it.

[@finngeometry7570]

@@baronvonbeandip indeed, you said it better than I could.

[@kabluei]

In a highly competitive scene where being able to make a living makes you "lucky" it's no wonder why people hide their production secrets.

Oh my god please make that drop that didn't make it to the cut as a VIP version or something. It's amazing!! Can't get enough of it

It's such a shame that the original first drop was axed. it's sooooooooooooooo good

[@maxmoritz1931]

That first drop is one of the best things I ever heard ngl... Even tho it might be a bit harsh in the context of the song but the drop itself is amazing, aggressive Sounddesign with an emotional lead, so fucking good

[@oshershuman7714]

I don't produce music or understand half the terms he uses but I love watching how Au5 makes his music. It is so fascinating and the attention to detail in his music is incredible.

[@switchi8663]

Please please please make a VIP of this and have the drop at 8:45 in it. That drop is so good I can’t get enough of it

Notification squad! Yet another High level tutorial. Going into music production, i'm realizing more and more how difficult what he is doing actually is. My respect keeps growing everyday for you. Keep it up Au5-sama!

[@stefverheyen8547]

it is difficult but not impossible to learn i do this for 5 years and then i bought myself a FL studio 20 with some third party plugins. the most difficult of music production is the arrrangement when you finished your music theory and your sound design everything is verry clear. To watch this process.

[@Melanthiel]

The details in this are absolutely insane and that Massive basspad really makes the chordstacks shine. Thank you Austin for all the walkthroughs and tutorials.

[@silvannessler3615]

8:50 i actually like that a lot

[@zedlav915]

I think it would have made a great 2nd drop in the song

[@MrWicoe]

Wow, that lead melody in the drop that didn't make it to the final version is pure gold... you should definitely re-use it in another song! ;)

[@FomilMusic]

It's in the second drop tho. And it sounds there even better.

[@simondanielssonmusic]

Dubstep isn't a genre I produce or listen to, but I've got huge respect for you and your peers. The crazy things you can do with Ableton inspires me a lot!

[@FomilMusic]

I've totally fell in love with this track. I can't even count how many times I've listened to it in last couple days. From the beginning to the end. I adore the vibe and production quality.

[@fcz32]

You guys really nailed this song!! I was sleeping on it until I heard Jason Ross play it in one of his sets a couple weeks ago and it grabbed my attention right away. Been on repeat ever since. It had been a while since I felt this moved by a melodic bass song. So many different melodies that all work together and of course just all around top notch production and sound design. As far as the tutorial, thank you for this Austin! Really inspiring and gives me a lot to work for on my journey to produce a decent song one day.

[@iamstillcameron]

I am listlening to your music since 2012 when i was 12. I remember playing minecraft hunger games when they were still a thing and i was always listening to your music while playing... Man this gives me so much nostalgia thinking about it. As time passed I eventaully started listening to rap and hip hop as it kept raising in popularity but at the end of the day i always come back and listen to your music au5. litterly gives me so many feelings and never gets boring. It "clean" my brain from bad thoughts (i dont know how to put it in better words. my english is really trash so sorry for that but I really want to thank you man you are the best!

Not usually. I'll check individual group with a stereo spectrum analyzer to make sure nothing is too out of place, and sometimes put the whole mix in mono and check by ear to see if anything is lacking.

[@Moujemusic]

It does... just tap on the wrench icon after tapping the gear icon on the top left corner of your plugin and you'll find an arp feature And you can automate the rate You can also do this effect through strum effect in piano roll There's also an arpeggiator in piano roll too

[@charteredofficial]

@@Moujemusic This is the same person, but on my music account. Sorry for the late reply, I've been quite busy the last few months. I had tried to automate the rate from the piano roll arp feature, but it wouldn't let me for some reason. I completely forgot about the plugin side of things, although I had to duplicate the kick sample I was using before the arp feature in the plugin would even show up if that makes sense? Anyway, thanks a lot! I appreciate you giving the time to help out!
