How to Produce: Doja Cat- Say So | Tutorial

[@chaosandwaffles5970]

Omg.. When you started re-sampling everything I was so confused and then I was like "This dude knows wtf he's doing."

[@BeatAcademy]

Heheh thanks.

[@luxslash]

yeah i used to put the auto filter on the MASTER channel to get that same effect, but I know I shouldn't do that (face palm). Now I know DA WEY

[@prodcolin]

actual feels that last trick top off the vid ~

[@polaroid8349]

@@BeatAcademy Hey ill factor, why is it bad to put the EQs on the master fader? to me it seems better because you can more easily change the track if needed.

[@IamALeaf]

@@polaroid8349 It's bad for bigger projects since it could change the whole track.

[@iraklismoschonas5214]

It's great that by playing the filtered and unfiltered version together in the end, gives the track a lush and vintage feel which adds to the song vibe.

[@iraklismoschonas5214]

@2 Broke Gamblers I don't know if this technique is used in the original version, or if this is a common production technique. I imagine that, since ill used it in his recreation, probably is also used in the original.

[@kocakaflarr2922]

THAT was the part that really sold me

[@Valgant]

Now it's done properly: first we see the final result then the producing process. Apart from that, great job as always!

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks for watching

[@harleywasthere_]

I only dreamed you would reproduce this and it came true!

[@Dee7Fella]

so damn true.

[@inquizative44]

This beat has been sampled soo many times. That dream has come true many times, to many songs.

[@josue.guevara]

Yes, but can you do the vocals? The vocals on this track have very interesting effects and would be nice to see your approach on replicating them.

[@Frewster]

I love how bands try to play tight to a metronome and producers try to sound loose and unquantized. We're such contrarians :')

[@seydouprod]

@bookmarkthis He means live musicians following partitions in general. They aim for the optimal tempo, the imperfections are what gives it a live feeling which is why we producers try to simulate that.

[@theoreticallyharmony6752]

There’s a sweet spot that they’re both looking for. Most bands try to get as tight as they can to get to it, and producers try to loosen it a bit.

[@isle3415]

both can't do the job 100% accurately and reach the same middle point

[@avijarjo]

its because humans find it very hard to play perfect on tempo so it sounds natural when they try to where as computers find it easy to play on tempo and it sounds stiff

[@moresnqp]

well the bands are usually still off by a bit.

[@darioflaviobatistaguidione3287]

I would likr to say thank you for teaching us without hold anything back and expecting less in return. You are such a wonderful person from the bottom of my heart:)

[@BeatAcademy]

Truly is my pleasure

[@Des_Armoni]

I wasn’t expecting to learn so much this time around but wow!! 🔥🔥

[@BeatAcademy]

Happy to hear that!

[@VOLAIRE]

Gonna have that song on repeat for awhile

[@CodeBleu724]

Say So reminds me of the Nile Rodgers/Bernard Edwards Chic sound. I appreciate disco more now knowing that most of it was made using instruments. Keeping a 4/4 beat on the drums without a metronome is hard to do. Tony Thompson, Nile & Bernard made it look easy in the finished product. With that said, listen to "Disco Inferno" by The Trammps or "Grooveline" by Heatwave. Both songs are long versions originally, cut down for radio airplay. Amazing stuff.

[@dallasstorey]

Bernard Edwards, the best bass player ever (in my opinion)....R.I.P

[@rollersoulrecords9300]

@@dallasstorey Absolutely! No Bernard, no Nile. Lock-step

[@valentinsolis673]

I wanna thank u, im learning how to use Ableton and these kind of things really help me a Lot. Greetings from argentina :)

[@bw2937]

Ditch Ableton it's shit. Get pro tools or maybe logic if on a budget

[@johnnykirchens3692]

Damn that phaser lfo is crazy had been using this thing wrong all the time

[@luxslash]

Same. I've been under-using so many great audio effects that comes free with Ableton lol... Same with the Chorus on the guitar. Made it so much better sounding

[@djcarlo]

Amazing tutorial!

[@lucasvy6747]

omg, your such a game-changing for everyone who is trying to perfect his techniques, love your videos, keep doing this!!! Hope you can do some Kaytranada tutorial focused on the bass techniques he uses or some Bondax, disclosure, SG lewis Production videos please!!!!

[@bencastor9207]

Did not know you could copy effects over like that, I've been manually recreating side chain for all my instruments, I could have been saving so much time. Y'learn something new everyday

[@loutubesing3213]

copy paste is pretty universal across ableton, so most things you copy will remember automation curves, velocities, fades, plugin settings, etc

[@lMazuK3l]

Best series ever in youtube

[@seunghoyoum]

that tone change you did with the rc-20 was amazing to see

[@radsaves]

Showing them those daft punk tricks with the filters 👌🔥🔥🔥

[@Geryf]

I'm so impressed. You used a guitar library to create the guitar part. It sounded so organic.

[@allthefail7274]

This is some of the best shit anywhere, nevermind on youtube, to learn from and get inspired. The dude's prep and follow through is so good

[@baztudyo]

Dats’ new sugar hill gang rapper delight 2020 ! I’m proud this beat is famous 👐🤩✨✨✨✨

[@jameslaurent6491]

Another great tutorial! Lady Gaga's "Stupid Love" would be awesome to see in the near future!

[@user_s4m777]

never even seen that trick with the parallel phaser and filters but bro.... that shit sounds so good

[@ANTHXXX1]

the guitar thing is just amazing

[@dlmc2451]

Lana Del Rey - Doin Time would be awesome! There's no tutorials for her songs it's insane

[@montyjohnn2826]

D L Mc its a cover

[@LucasY2K]

@@montyjohnn2826 ...That still required production

[@catd8929]

yess

Ya seriously there isn't any production tutorial for her songs and I would kill to get that strings on hip hop beat sound 😂😂

[@RichLux713]

DO THIS ON WINDOWS MOVIE MAKER I WILL BE IMPRESSED

[@dedededededededede]

that keys sound so sweettt

[@gallectee6032]

Man that sounds good. Well done.

[@kenyxkenyx]

I am so envy that you Ableton guys have such a good teacher ...

[@abletonclipper16]

That resample trick brought it to life!

[@leonardosantana522]

Dude keep it coming, really learning a ton about ableton’s stock plugins and what not

[@blktenor]

I’ve been trying to do the filter effect for the longest! Thanks for opening my eyes!!!

[@BMac]

this beat is fire

[@locutz]

the part with the guitars is amazing ,you have to have an extensive guitar loop collection to have to exact play style to add to it all it needs is to tune it

[@alexandrekhazal5966]

One the best tutorials on the net. Very synthetic, clear, explanatory and understandable. Thank you very much

[@haui82]

Thank you for the video. The resampling trick is so simple yet awesome!

[@frederikpeters7353]

Wow i had no idea how to produce something before i watched this Video but I understand most of the things you did. Very good Work thank you so much

[@Tyler-ko8dp]

Is there a video that can teach me more about the kind of sounds that go well together? Because I feel like this track has a perfect combination of instruments, the layers all fit together so well

[@bigbirdchris]

This isnt a full explanation, and I'm sure you will find some videos out there, but part of it comes down to filling the harmonic spectrum. Having parts to fill the low end, low mids, high mids, and highs will make a track feel full. Also groove; how he has some hits off of the grid, and using rhythms with accents that compliment each other. Long story short, I think if there was a definitive answer for this we would solve the hard problem of production.

[@AEOuriel]

i love your inventive approach to recreate the guitar part using chopped up pre-recorded samples. super industrious and creative!! t

[@KB-wl4ip]

I’m going to sit and really study this. I NEED to learn this. Edit: omg...I’m way too dumb for this stuff.
