Create Interesting Track Intros EVERY TIME

[@treyhudson73]

Perfect timing, mate. I can bang out 8 bar projects in 10 minutes. Arrangement is where I get stuck, but more from wanting to make a new 8 bars. I'm hoping this tutorial will get me excited about intros enough to get back into arranging.

[@camstanley]

Yo what helped me loads with arrangement is bring in a reference track you like, listen through it and make markers in the project where the intro, verse etc is and where they take elements in and out. You got a rough arrangement idea of how you should arrange yours. It made me improve so quickly I don’t need them anymore

[@treyhudson73]

@@camstanley Right on. This always helps me as well. I hate plotting markers in Ableton though. Maybe it's my fat thumbs, but I can never click things right.

@EDMProd I'm glad you made a tutorial where you use Facade as a reference, it's one of my favorite tracks from you and I have used it myself as reference to make a groove. Cheers and thanks for the great & free content! :)

Could you guys do a comprehensive guide to vocal chopping and different styles?

[@noscope840]

Great video guys

I need that song at minute 11:11, sounds amazing !!

[@rentr909]

Good video. You helped me

[@danielribeiro4618]

What did you use for creating the teaser bass? operator? Nice track

[@badeomusic]

Hey! If i remember correctly it was made from tweaking the pure square bass preset from ableton's analog instrument

[@yoyofargo]

the best way to open a song is with 32 bars of plain drums with very little switchup and everything perfectly on the grid with no variation in velocity whatsoever

[@yoyofargo]

also the milk goes in the bowl before the cereal

[@yoyofargo]

I know I'm ripping on people who do this but there are actual songs on spotify right now that have 32 bar drum openers. :|

What are those wood panel things on your back wall. Light panels?

[@SwiftRelish]

Looks like a panel absorber or something similar.

[@treyhudson73]

@@SwiftRelish Yeah, but wouldn't sound just bounce off all that wood?

[@SwiftRelish]

@@treyhudson73 Yeah, you're probably right. Maybe the perforated holes are meant to help with that.

[@badeomusic]

Hey guys! Yep they are panels made specifically for absorbing frequencies ~126 hz (which is pretty low), higher frequencies reflect, whereas lower frequencies can travel through more solid material (think about the woofy kickdrum of your neighbours party). My room is very small and so they help fix the low end problems, they wont do much for absorbing higher frequencies but I have other things in the room for that - these I've found to be quite effective! Hope this makes sense

[@treyhudson73]

@@badeomusic Too close to catch the high stuff? Obviously, it's challenging to understand it without seeing it as a whole. The way sound functions makes music production seem like child's play!

[@K.KILLORAN]

This is a great topic that gets overlooked often I think.

[@darrengordon-hill]

WTF do "pads" sound like? I'm guessing you don't mean the "drum pads" on my devices...

[@Artersa]

Pads are (generally) low volume, low energy, textural sounds that “pad out” any gaps you may have in your frequency spectrum. They generally cover a wide frequency range.

[@darrengordon-hill]

1:10 You sound impatient. There's several ARTISTS I'd not now love if I only gave them 3 seconds...

[@ELLIOT8209]

The average listener is impatient. That's what this video is trying to help the producers with.

[@badeomusic]

Im not implying that this is the outlook I listen to all music with! I totally agree with you too. There are so many great songs which are wacky, strange and have super long winded intros (including in my own music) But to learn its definitely helpful to emphasise the concepts and stay safe, then you can branch out and start getting more experimental once you're comfortable making music. These are simply coaching tips to target a broader audience with your music and made to be taken with a grain of salt :)
