it's like a tribute tutorial

[@manusvcks]

Indeed

[@bellalopera222]

totally

[@cozziefox]

a tributorial?

[@JeremyDawesJezweb]

This is not the greatest song in the world…

[@handbookofmagic]

Damn this resonant filter into the bitcrusher is just insane.

[@James_Fredrick]

This is so incredibly specific to engineering the Daft sound. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Daft Punk is the band that led me to believe I, a instrumental/vocal nincompoop, can also make music

[@BeatAcademy]

Happy to hear it was helpful

[@Max-ml2hc]

"Some old School Drum Loop" *plays the da funk drum beat* lol

[@ashertheaudiophile1917]

Finna he talentes guy man

[@eachfallenrobin]

Gotta dig for those samples, nothing beats a funk break from wax

[@davidscanlan]

Even as an acoustic music producer, I keep coming back to this channel because the workflows you demonstrate inspire me to try new things in my own productions. Thank you for the great content!

[@BeatAcademy]

Great to hear!

[@iteal6484]

Man, I love your tutorials. You’re one of the few who actually been and had success in this industry. It’s truly a blessing that you share your knowledge here. Keep doing this, man!

[@BeatAcademy]

I appreciate that!

[@FasFas160]

You really outdid yourself with this tutorial! I also love how many stock plugins you used

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks a ton!

[@tomw8s]

This is public service 😍

[@BeatAcademy]

And it is truly my pleasure

[@xazqe]

Amazingly skilled tutorial! This made me both jump out of my seat with joy (discovering that original George Duke song sample), and feel really sad (that they’ve split) at the same time. Music can be such a time machine and emotional rollercoaster, which is a privilege to get to ride

[@nikolasgray1940]

This guys tutorials take it to a whole other level, best emulation of another artist video I’ve seen

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks!

[@andivax]

Great lesson! Here is the TAL-DRUM Kit: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYnKm4Sff72Ar5I

[@contentmusic9554]

Dude I'm so mind-blown by your knowledge of sound design! It's incredible to see how accurately you recreate the sound by using basic contours!! It gives me hope that I can get to this level one day because with the way you explain it, it doesnt seem so complicated or overwhelming. Thank you for sharing this video!!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@kingyonkobeats411]

You're truly a great teacher! Thank you so much! Didn't even know you can do that on VocalSynth2 using midi. 🤯🤯🤯

[@BeatAcademy]

Happy to help!

[@alejandrocabrera7802]

You're an incredible teacher! Thanks for always giving the WHY behind certain functions. Keep up the great work

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure!

[@anirudhsingh2354]

this is worth gold. If you can do a longer series on this covering all the daftpunk style on ableton. I will surely pay for it.

[@jake.creates]

Hey man I just started learning music production and watch a lot of tutorials. You've got a knack for communicating and information design in your teaching. Thank you!

[@JustWander660]

Bro way you so hard on yourself. The vocals are pretty good.

[@monkeyssj1]

Youre the man... one of the best demos i've ever seen. thank you so much.

[@BeatAcademy]

Wow, thanks!

[@milhouse777]

Man, you f*cking nailed! thank you very much. 13:00 I always was curious for life on how to make that bass kinda vocal and I never figured out that was a reso filter with bitcrusher, mind blowing

[@kmdarie]

Wow.. digital love has been one of my favorite songs, I had no idea the part I loved the most was sampled

[@MartinPNairn]

"Sounds like poop but, It'll work" I nearly spit all the wine lol

[@harvestplugins9982]

only thing missing is the subtle french accent on the vocals

[@luxuryleeder748]

This really exceeded my expectations .... bro went crazy

[@tylerbuckner3750]

Dude...that ad transition was ssssslick.

[@sclitchmusic]

I feel like I'm watching daft punk create da funk

[@MTO_KT]

Hey man, awesome video. Great variety of areas touched on during the tutorial! :D

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you liked it!

[@poltad]

Wow that overdrive fattens up the sound!

[@BeatAcademy]

It sure does! Thanks for watching

[@bvrbvs]

That vocal trick was what i needed! I spent so much time dealing with vocoders , and it's too complex. A tutorial on how they use the vocoder would be great

[@BeatAcademy]

Check my channel I have videos that cover it sep by step

[@ceciliaperez1069]

AHHHH THIS IS MY DREAM TUTORIAL THANK U SO MUCH

[@BeatAcademy]

Happy to help!

[@atheermakani2140]

Dude you are seriously amazing and blow me away every time you make these videos. Thank you so much! Never stop doing these!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback

I cant "like" this video enough! You are so amazing

[@BeatAcademy]

Thank you so much 😀

[@oratania]

Great video! I imagine how much fun guys from Daft Punk had producing their songs. Incredible!

[@BeatAcademy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@lucaluca.musica]

One of your best videos!!

[@MoeThermodynamics]

This is so great! Thank you!

[@GuyGamer1]

For the Da Funk lead, with the way the Analog instrument works you get a better filter resonance sound by raising the Filter Drive inside Analog to a higher value (yours is on Sym1, I suggest Sym3) than slapping an overdrive on at the end.

[@BeatAcademy]

Great point. yes the. filter drive plays a big part in the sound. Thanks for watching. ;)

[@michaelhncronhoun2277]

Very interesting and clear, the Human After All digital bass put a smile on my face :)

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@saintuntitled]

great work!

[@chasenelson4641]

Astounding. Yet another great video, well done Mr Factor.

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@JesusIsRealJ1247]

I would love to know if you could do a "The Diogenes Club" sound breakdown. They deserve a real mention and imitation. Thank you for this Daft Punk breakdown!

[@BeatAcademy]

I'll check it out!

[@JesusIsRealJ1247]

@@BeatAcademy Any verdict on tDC? I'd still love to see something done in imitation on what you can tell their process is. Many thanks!

[@alzepop]

Great video, you are a good teacher. Looking forward to see your courses!

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks so much!

[@drmichaelopare8245]

And to think almost all this was done with stock plug-ins Great video man- big love

Miss you Daft Punk

[@djdahous]

Great work. Love these Daft Punk sounds!

[@Lu14355]

I'm just amazed by the complexity of some parameters like in the analog synth 🤯 Thanks so much for this video, it's really interesting and super close to the original !

[@scannjer]

Man you are a legend :) Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for...

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad I could help!

[@nathanksimpson]

This is awesome. So much fun to watch.

[@lucy7574]

Great tutorial!! Just one thing -- it would be helpful if you pointed us to where you're getting non-standard sounds/instruments!

[@djsweatysac1842]

Thanks for the tutorial and the simple track lib run through.

[@PC-stuk71]

So inspiring - thanks for taking the time putting this out

No problem!

i really enjoyed this tuto well done bro

[@eriksharar986]

I’m very new to this type of production and you made it very understandable. Thank you!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@bellalopera222]

amazing!!! I love this song remind me many good moments! I cry in the moment when he was singing thank you bro for this amazing video!!!!!!

[@elissitdesign]

I believe the lead was done with an Korg MS-20. I’m able to get it pretty darn close if not exact. Nice to see it done in Ableton. I don’t remember it having such a wide chorus. Be careful of copyright strikes... the YT algorithm can get tripped up if it’s too close 🙃

[@iraklismoschonas5214]

I've read somewhere that the synth parts in the whole "Homework" album were done with a Minimoog, so possibly it was not an MS-20.

[@The_Lawlrus]

Can’t wait til I get off work so I can watch this and follow along. Thanks illfactor!

[@RandomFlops]

Same man!!

[@marcelocrispim8560]

Wow, got so many great insights from this video! Thank you so much ;)

[@willcastano3529]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial, thanks a lot.

[@AkshayKheveriaiitr]

Amazing!! Thanks for the video. I was searching for the exact vocal production. Couldn't find it anywhere!! I use Logic Pro, though this helped me a lot!! Thanks

[@RohitKulkarni88]

This is pure gold!

[@bitbe6152]

Awesome! Thank you for this one, I love your tutorial and Daft Punk 🙂

[@martinthompson2584]

Nice tutorial. Just note though that from 19:25 to 19:54 the four letter C word is rather prominent in the song name at the bottom of the screen.

[@philippebedroom4665]

Thank you so much. I wanted this instantly

[@mateosaavedra5364]

Amazing, thank you! Do a How to produce like All Against Logic/Nicolas Jaar pleaseee, that will be so cool. Congrats!

[@adisyn4930]

Love it. sounds legit!

[@dmccoyny]

Excellent sounding (old school) loop you started with. Where did it come from? Or can you point me to a good place to get vintage loops?

[@BenvolioZF]

Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll by Vaughan Mason and Crew (1979) The first few bars of old disco records (if they weren't burnt in a fire in Chicago) are a great place to find real crunchy drum samples. People really like to use Italo Disco to sample too.

[@BeatAcademy]

Totally agree with Todd here

[@aldomendez2211]

Fantastic! Would love to see how to produce Kali Uchis :)

[@Darksagan]

This video was dope asf.

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks for watching

[@GoodxJ]

You liking Ableton 11 ill! ???

[@BeatAcademy]

Yesssir!

[@PAZ1984]

great content !

[@SiliconPrairie]

12:14 Daft Punk actually uses a DigiTech Bass Synth Wah pedal for this. No DAW needed :)

[@Tenaxis]

Still, it's much more convenient to have a solution in software, accessible through almost any decent synthesizer. The pedal is still really cool, though.

[@ShawneX0007]

went so smooth..awesome thank you soo much

[@DKPurpleTurtle]

Really nice tutorial! I would love to see one on "Ego death" ty dolla sign

[@matiasneil]

ill Factor you legend. Thank you

[@TexusNoe365247]

For those who want to know what the name of the song is... "Digital Love-Daft Punk"

[@unclemick-synths]

Great tutorial. Trying to figure out how to do that analogue synth trick in hardware - distortion ahead of the filter.

[@MrAndersonDJ]

This is great.

[@naren842]

This is just incredible 🙏

[@sm12hus]

Fantastic tutorial

[@alexchaidez9258]

This is great!! I’m definitely going to try this! Thing is I only have ableton live 11 intro, any alternatives to eq8? I’ll see if vital vst can do what analog can do...

[@TheThermalheat]

Awesome video! I'd love to see more electronic style music (not necessarily daft punk)

[@BeatAcademy]

On the way!

[@AndrewLaFondMusic]

Very informative. Thank you

[@wimvandenborre706]

Amazing AGAIN!!!
