[@SolStateMusic]

Music is a lot like cooking. If you start with great ingredients, everything is easier (in this case an amazing vocal). 👀Full "Latch" breakdown here - kzbin.info/www/bejne/q16Tgmdnjadqi5Y 👀"Latch" (song ID) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/b2SkhIh_ormYmtE

Gotta get my hands on effectrix at some point. So good for those adlibs / fx vocals! Ace vid Sol!

[@aldo4151]

Sam's vocal is crazy good even without all the fx!

[@SolStateMusic]

💯

[@hotwheelz20072]

It’s seriously incredible how good Sam’s vocals are on those chorus stacks without tuning. Shows what a beast he is.

[@rfrolicarts]

Going back into the original file and seeing you break this down is like going to an art museum. I love it

[@citiesinspace]

Easily one of the best tracks ever made IMHO. Super cool to see the creative process in action ^.^ Thanks Disclosure, Sam, and Sol State

[@HuttyTheKid]

Yessss. Bro your videos are some of the most helpful production tools I’ve used!

[@SolStateMusic]

Great to hear, thanks ;)

[@speedcrawlmusic]

So good ❤‍🔥

[@garyafterlife]

How cool is this. That tape delay...😁🤘 so great to go under the bonnet with this production. Thank you 🙏

[@dinosirius]

One if my fav tracks these last 19 years, hands down. And Disclusure's videos are always incredible !!! Thanks for sharing this sooo valuable ♥️

[@di7787]

My favourite love song

[@ahadadream3]

thanks for the video buddy, very interesting

[@1pelillos1]

Good video. Another year supporting Sol and hoping for good releases hehe

[@SolStateMusic]

Haha happy new year Miguel!

[@FRTNK]

I refuse to believe one of the best songs ever was made with all logic plug-ins ☺️😂

[@admiralhax9714]

Disclosure+ sol state. Absolute GOATS. Love yall both so much.

[@legoccez]

Sam vocals are on another level

[@OverdriveMusic]

Phenomenal voice. Great album back then from Disclosure, and also Sam's album was really well produced.

[@TheBBQify]

Damn those solo raw vocals are actually awesome

[@marcel6049]

so crazy! "Never" has the same rhythm like "Mama" that's why we love it that much. So many tracks use thit "trick" awesome tune!

[@ranradd]

That was cool. Love the Six Sams Secret.

[@MikeAuerNixego]

I'm always amazed that they have these projects all still intact. Any project of mine made on a previous computer of mine is well extinct/plugins missing etc. I'm no professional like them, however, lol

[@SFLogicNinja]

This is amazing!! Thanks so much. The Atmos mix of this tune is my favorite Atmos music mix right now. This is amazing

[@plneet3504]

The song used to enjoy me because they played it so often but seeing the project gives me some appreciation

[@italiansanto]

"Full Voice GO GO GO"...I can feel that in my chest!

[@dequincyharris]

Sam's Smith's voice is so amazing. And his voice drives the rhythm too because it has swing in it. This was so cool!

[@billB101]

For me it's the triplet bass as well, always loved that.

[@idlethoughtsmusic]

Wow, that tape delay is magic!

[@Zsanett81]

OMG thanks for the whisper trick🙏🥳

[@SolStateMusic]

Any time! Love that one ;)

[@prototypMANIAC]

Insane to see by having A good performer, excellent mic, and an excellent mic pre you can use stock logic plug-ins and make a classic

[@kabirgautam5832]

Sol slate folks was this really done just on logic pro? Including the plugins?

[@okendo011]

Disclosure are production GOATs

[@yanpisar]

just goes to show how important it is to get the vocal right from the start

[@josephschmizzo1595]

The “secret” is always a good mic and a good room…

[@yungmentalproblems]

False the secret is always a good vocal

[@josephschmizzo1595]

@@yungmentalproblems a great vocal on a bad mic , in a bad room is gonna suck either way. Been there, done that…

[@dominickfailla]

Dang, this is showing me how good of a singer Sam is

[@knivesout33]

Can't believe this is basically Logic stock plugins. Damn!

[@backtodrive]

Which headphones does he use?

[@himdownstairsmusik]

wow, just wow.!

[@nickepic1863]

Really cool clip. Thanks Sol and thanks to Disclosure! Tell me, can I contact you somehow? I think I have cool material for your next clip.

[@SolStateMusic]

You can email me (in about section of YT)

[@Revilkappa]

Best fucking channel ever thank you

[@TytusLight]

Pretty confident autotune was invented before 2012, but I do believe he didn't need it XD

[@WiitBeats]

What a legend😯

[@nickhernandez2753]

he had to have known auto tune was probably as old as he was that point @4:16 and it made no huge leaps by the time this track was made from its invention.

[@TomLogicUK]

I wish I could sing like Sam Smith, produce music like Disclosure and kick ass like Sol State

[@SolStateMusic]

Hahah best of luck ;)

[@JT-qc2nb]

He makes me want to sell nearly all of my plugins.

[@feeding_ear]

Damn those vox are tight.

[@saxongroove5898]

Just goes to show you don't need the latest and greatest DAW and a million plugins to make a great tune

[@juliogurrola3645]

Reassuring to see I already did most of these things learning on my own and playing it by ear :) cheers to everyone producing

[@colinmccracken7142]

Is there a mono layer? Thats strange to me if not

[@boxy8673]

this ^

[@sunnysjwinter]

Even though he’s a superstar, I still don’t think Sam Smith gets the credit he deserves for his talent. Really love these breakdowns to get a glimpse of the recording process. Thank you for this 🙏🏼 “Latch” will always be a banger!

[@kyleluib7310]

insane

[@frndly.3492]

No tuning makes it so so good

[@daghermusic]

what i learned from this is Sam has a god tier voice

[@scottmov]

re-upload?

[@SolStateMusic]

I made a full edit of Latch for Disclosure's channel, and am featuring some highlights on this channel :)

[@scottmov]

@@SolStateMusic aaahh right I saw this on disclosure's channel, thought I saw it here before

[@julufaded]

Wish he had a noise gate set on his mic. That grainy sound got really annoying.

[@Ikas031]

Auto tune wasnt invented? Auto tune was invented in 97 and been popping since the mid 2000s I'm sure melodyne was out as well. These dudes cappin'

[@cmixer108]

literally just wrote the exact same thing before scrolling down and seeing your comment haha.

[@Pranav9977]

*It was a joke bro*

[@VARVIS_]

It was probably pretty expensive back then and its not like these guys were making lots of money before latch

[@dffgffffffdddddddddd]

@@Pranav9977 it doesn't really sound like a joke...?

[@postingmybeats]

Been listening to this one a lot, sam has such a ridiculous voice

[@Leo-td3we]

Auto tune had been out for 15 years when this track was made 🙄

[@SolStateMusic]

I think his point was Sam is a freaking amazing singer!

[@persona83]

I've seen a producer saying Autotune is so ubiquitous to the point a vocal without it would sound weird, nowadays. To me it will always mean lack of talent.

[@danillolima7594]

I was thinking the same thing. He really said autotune hadn't been invented like T-Pain didn't exist.

[@mitskull1100]

@@persona83 bruh no one can hit the exact note

[@Skrenja]

@@persona83 Everyone uses autotune. Even the best singers in the world.

[@altrogeruvah]

Step 1: find a killer vocalist

[@fts1981]

😂 Autotune not being invented in 2012 is pure comedy

[@cmixer108]

"Auto-Tune wasn't invented".....?? lol. Autotune was released in 1997, "Latch", 2014.

[@Tommylee207]

1st?

[@Squidaniel]

“Auto tune wasn’t invented” ??? Lol what?! Did they record this in the 70’s?

[@TimeFlyBy]

WoW for a channel talking of music production, the audio of your video is terrible!

[@SolStateMusic]

Yup, we didn't have the normal setup this time. So the choice was publish great tips (with bad audio), or not publish great tips.

[@rautshsale1948]

autotune has been around damn near since the 90s wtf lol

[@kensmechanicalaffair]

The gate on your mic is crazy annoying.

[@rogercabo5545]

Disclosure... Disclosure... Disclosure. . becomes boring. is this the only genre exist?

[@SolStateMusic]

Thanks for letting me know, don't worry other videos coming.

[@dffgffffffdddddddddd]

Well other musicians don't do streams or share shit like this so why don't you ask them to start streaming..

[@rogercabo5545]

@@SolStateMusic I know it's not that easy to activate producers.

[@rogercabo5545]

@@dffgffffffdddddddddd A good point to start asking for producers to do. Sol Sate has good range to convince. For Sure it's not an easy task but should work for some starting for some short vids. I'm lite tired of e-house/dance because it's toolbox music made already 20 years ago. The only trick in this genre is using effects out of your toolbox are currently not used for some years. Do you ever hear Charleston style 1930th?

[@theothermebutwhoami]

a record of the decade.
