“I look like my Microphone in this video Lol.”

[@spencerwhitworth6548]

At least it's interesting 😂

[@LPArabia]

I just got a new electric guitar and keyboard, and my favorite band is back. My insperation level is super high to learn and make music. Thank you for the amazing breakdown I've learned a lot!

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@LPArabia hell yeah! Good luck 🤘

[@georgeheyden774]

linkin park ghost producer. goood job

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@georgeheyden774 dream job haha

[@sparkside217]

I really appreciated haring your take on it not being overproduced, because I was actually leaning towards thinking it was overproduced compared to The Hunting Party stuff. But you're right, tons of natural and old school stuff in there

[@ItsObi-WanKenobi]

Your channel has been such a blessing for myself and other new producers, thank you so much

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@ItsObi-WanKenobi thank you! Comments like this mean so much 🤘

[@colinmignot6309]

Piano chord bar 36 timecode 13:03 there is no third in the left hand. It's Bb F Bb D (low to high) Piano chord bar 37 is F C F A Piano chord bar 32 is D A D F# Piano chord bar 34 is G Bb D G Piano chord bar 38 is C C E G One thing you missed here is that he plays a D major chord instead of a minor one, this is called modal interchange and it's a must known concept for songwriting. It works very well because the vocal part avoids the third F that way it doesn't clash with the F# on the piano I am pretty sure this this played by a human on a real piano and he plays 4 part harmony all along The piano needs dynamics right now it's robotic, all the same velocity played fff. The top line should be at higher velocity than the rest.

[@MokerB]

Absolutely on point.

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@colinmignot6309 interesting! Thanks for sharing more valuable info. I wasn’t going for 100% accuracy bc I had like 2 days to make this whole thing, but just wanted to get a similar sound and share whatever tips I could. You definitely studied the chords in more depth than I did. Only skipped over the modal interchange to keep the video short ish. Amazing trick in this track 🤘

[@SsickMusic]

You know your sh*t man !

[@ChrisJohnstonMusic]

@@RichiiWainwright it woulda actually been easier for you to do the modal interchange in this situation. So I don't think time was your issue ;)

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@ChrisJohnstonMusic I did ‘do’ the modal interchange I just didn’t talk about it haha. I produce 7 days a week for a living and have to find time for YT on the side. Time is the issue 🫠

[@jnsaudio81]

You, sir, are incredible at this

[@ayezz2811]

Bro, how do you hear all of these details!? Especially replicating the tone of the guitars just seems really crazy to me. Great work and super educational. Subbed

[@luiscapriduprey1057]

Great breakdown, Outstanding Tut. Well Done

[@LPmax27]

That's insane!

[@JimsAddiction44]

Dear god that's an insane breakdown ... thank you :) If I can remember one or two things from this video I'll be happy ... and that reverse piano cord build up is insane :) (might be common knowledge for some but blew me away as a beginner)

[@keithlawrencecarrascal1392]

Bro is such an underrated KZbinr

[@Mustang_99]

fantastic video! I wish you added full song at the end. It sounds really accurate!

[@sautter09]

Wow, great work!

[@JoeRockWeller]

Well done, loved the breakdown and tips and step by step rebuild Thank you

[@shadowex]

Awesome dude! Excellent analysis. I love how they produced the song, and you broke it down perfectly. I totally lost it when you said at 11:50 "...and just leave you with blue balls." LOL

[@YPLabs]

Fantastic channel!

[@1000eyes55]

Joe is doing the drum loops and pad swirling ambient sounds in the background keeping it lo-fi. Great job really appreciate the song break down you and i notice you are you using Cubase that's my DAW of choice as well👍

[@troubleroom]

Awesome breakdown! NAILED IT (I'm abscessed with this track too!)

[@lucas.dmoura.91]

dude, you completely nailed it!

[@ninjasharkstudiosandmerch]

I'd seriously take a soundpack of your mouth drum sounds! lol. Solid. Great video btw!

[@CeLillyMusic]

I found your channel recently and think your videos are so inspiring and insightful! I already incorporated some of your tricks in my workflow. It's super convenient. :)

[@JAHanrahan]

Nice job Richie! Bad Ass!!!

[@OmegaPint]

really appreciate your work man!

[@JAMPROSOUND]

Cool video. I had to subscribe the moment the blue balls line hit.

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@JAMPROSOUND only way to describe that first chorus 😆

[@samwallis8318]

Great video dude, in depth yet to the point 👏🏻 not even a massive LP fan but you definitely nailed it, now looking forward to watching you’re NIN and Cure vids. pls pls pls Do an mogwai vid - if you know their music it’s super varied but being a band that does a lot of soundtrack work, they have a very clever knack for making textured and intricate songs (sometimes using only a few chords/notes). Maybe a video where you look at the techniques used over a few different tracks?

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@samwallis8318 I may do that at some point! Never been the hugest Mogwai fan but I do like them. I’ll revisit their discography 🤘 thanks man

[@seth_tinsley_]

Awesome tutorials. Please do a Qotsa breakdown. 🙌

[@tjerrybakx4076]

Nice, it is very useful and to the point!

[@gabrielfranca6957]

Amazing! Please, make a video on how to achieve Mike Shinoda's rap sound!

so good, nice vid man

[@nikitosha1000]

Ohmygohd Thanks a lot!

[@renekrueger8214]

Amazing. You must have a really good insurance for your ears 😃

[@aqlord]

I feel like the kick and snare in the original song are a little fuller, kick in the low boomy end and snare a bit more midrange focus, so when you made them more high end focused on purpose I was like "huh??" but other than that you pretty much got there

[@johnathanbeats]

great video! I need to get me another guitar. I sold mine because it sounded bad on recording.

[@user-cn1dp7lk1m]

Use your illusion - guns n roses!

[@justsomeone9218]

Nice

[@FinnHPMusic]

Your guitars sound so good 😮‍💨

[@abnormalthesis3365]

Please make a more detailed video on the guitar tone. Maybe with free amp.

[@s4d429]

there are no iconic linkin park vibes 🤣

[@PillowheadCreations]

I like how u use rock hand sign to play piano lol

[@michaelsexton9367]

🤘🎹

[@colinmignot6309]

impressive

[@itsmirakill]

let’s goo!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@kipchickensout]

looks fun, looks like you have a good idea of what to listen for, sounds very nice, though I don't think you showed the whole "finished" thing? 13:04 at 37, is that the right chord? something sounds... off? not sure i could be seeing stuff

[@kipchickensout]

yeah that should be an F maj

[@shadowkav_1606]

Helloo! love your vıdeos :)) Any chance you can make a tutorıal about guıtar tones on cubase 13 lıke ındıe rock, alt rock etc

[@LaiChung1126]

Hi mate , niceee video ! Will you do a remake for one ok rock Delusion:All ?

[@taunado]

Love your vids. Dude I've never had a CPU issue until I loaded Fort amp, and I consider my PC to be fast. Any suggestions for a lighter alternatives?

[@taunado]

Guitar Rig?

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@taunado that’s weird. Never had CPU issues with Neural products myself, but I honestly haven’t found other amps that compare to theirs. Not sponsored or anything but I genuinely just love their products

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@taunado I haven’t tried guitar rig but it could be worth a shot

[@taunado]

@@RichiiWainwright I plugged my laptop in an now it's working smoothly (battery mode uses less CPU). I guess good to note that it uses more CPU than other amps like Guitar Rig. Do you enjoy Blink 182? If so, an analysis of Stockholm Syndrome or Anthem Part 2 will be fire. The intro guitar and smackin snares sound so good.

[@guilhermecazzonato3663]

Amazing video man. Would you sell a custom back track for this song? I play in a Linkin Park cover band and we're really looking forward to playing this live.

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@guilhermecazzonato3663 yeah definitely, hit my email [e-mail] and we’ll figure it out! I technically don’t have the bridge recorded yet but it shouldn’t take long as I have most of the sounds down already obvs

[@SSKKK1111]

dude It's already produced :))

[@albertosuardi5301]

hi, do you have a link to download your vital presets? They are awesome!!

[@cryptochris9001]

Can you do Don't Stay from Meteora?

niceeee

[@mdshadmanwasifkhan4482]

BTw what is the name of the electric guitar that you used here?

[@colinmignot6309]

Do you make livestreams ? I'm curious to watch you work all this out ?

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@colinmignot6309 not at the moment. Maybe in the future. It takes many hours tho so idk… could be pretty boring to watch haha

[@nmcreative956]

​@@RichiiWainwrightBoring for who? Lol. I'm pretty sure the people watching your videos would love even longer more detailed videos

[@hengweiteh]

hi, im looking to buy my first electric guitar soon. can u recommend me some models? thanks !

[@RichiiWainwright]

@@hengweiteh depends on what styles you wanna play and your budget. I just buy guitars cuz they look cool so my advice is probably bad advice but I’m sure some people here can help you

[@qua1ntZz]

-6 lufs? Got it)))

[@MokerB]

The piano chords are wrong, but you did a great job on the rest!

[@ProducerJames91]

But im guessing it's all correctly in the correct key???

[@chrismcginnis8095]

Yes, a power chord is a 1, 5, 1, but he was only playing 1 and 5 with an octave 1.

[@AkRockCovers]

what headphones u using

[@Teeheehee093]

The complete lack of interesting bass lines in LP's discography has always annoyed me Give us some grooces LP

[@enzoalvarez6021]

😈😈😈😈😈

[@gasperzakrajsek]

Either this is a Living things or Hunting party album unused song..so we're basically listening to old material, but with a female singer

[@NarcisoMarcelo_Anngus]

Maybe....

[@DanjoTV]

I dont know. Its kinda similar but also miles away. The drums need more eq-ing, too much highs on overheads and hi hat and it all around doesnt glue together in the mix with the bass (sidechaining?). The guitars need way more eq-ing, the lead part in refrain doesnt pop out. And although the guitars are recorded, they sound like made on a piano roll. Maybe use other plug ins? In the video itself i was skipping too much to actually here the results. Would be good to show more of what everything sounds like in between the talking. Just my opinion, no trolling.

[@michaeljames1337]

this guy sings way more better then Emily Armstrong 😅 he mite be able to take over the new drummer and that terrible new singer 🤣🤷‍♂️

[@sasa-sv8kd]

linkin park : generic chords, generic piano, generic drums, generic guitar, generic synthbass, generic band

@ hell yeah! Production has come a long way since the days of splicing 2 inch tape and resampling from it……and you’ve got it down to a science/artform

[@darchcruise]

@RichiiWainwright - Can you make a video "How to sound like Depeche Mode"?
