How I made ‘WILD’ in 4 HOURS - from idea to mastering

Being a James Hype fan is cool because you get entertained AND educated!

[@gryxxmusic6196]

As a melodic bass producer, even if its not my type of production, it’s still very educative honestly

[@danthealien8360]

"honestly"?

I love the serenity with which you share all these amazing insights with the producers / DJ community. It’s so inspiring. To me, it is a sign of being a great person and a true Artist! Thanks James, you’re the best ❤

[@butterycrumpet]

Cheers for sharing the production tips. This is my fav track of yours so far. I remember hearing it in one of your sets and going wow whats this, it's really different. keep it up

[@Offical_Daniel_luna]

I just love that This man proves that using presets and bass loops is not a crime. Big up to u Broo LEGEND!!!

[@FLXN.09]

It’s never been a crime if you look at producers who made beats back in the day sampled records using MPKs etc,.. how you use the samples is what makes you stand out from the rest

[@MajorTroubleMusic]

The same people that claim using presets and loops is a crime are the same people that bitch about DJs using sync lol... It's all in HOW you do it, eh?

[@avationmusic]

As someone who makes presets and loops, it’s not a crime, but also don’t overuse them. If I were to give it an arbitrary figure, I’d never want my own productions to be more than 50% loops and samples. James is also manipulating the loops and presets quite extensively. At the end of the day though it really is just a question about ego isn’t it?

[@djgrooveworld]

I've never produced a track before yet I watched this entire thing. Really cool to see the track broken down and I especially love what you did with the vocals. Thanks for making such quality videos available to the public!

[@kwagmyre]

Bouncing the original acapella through AI to make multiple samples and then group processing them is fricking brilliant...

My friends and I have been using this for big TV commercials for a while now. You often get a brief where the deadline is 3-5 days, because of some video production timeline fuckup that happened before they hired you. They were using a Jungle tune throughout the post-production process as a temp track and don’t want to pay money to sync it, so you need to copy it close enough to have the same vibe, but not too close so as to come into plagiarism area. Remember, you a team that has been working on that project for at least 8 weeks, and now they’re extremely biased towards the temp track, so the number of revisions will be hellish. Add to that the fact that you simply don’t have the time to hire a good singer due to the impossible deadlines, so what do you do? AI vocals. You write, then sing the song yourself and feed it into the ai vocals multiple times to get a choir effect and then group process it and it’s not your lousy singing anymore, but a bona fide gospel choir. Formant it a bit to avoid copyright issues and you’re done :) It is still clunky and has some nasty artefacts and I prefer paying real people to do the job, but when the brief is super tight time-wise, then it can save your ass. And before anyone starts grilling me about copying the temp track or using ai, do some research on how the music for commercials or even tv/cinema works. Even big names like Junkie XL and Ludwig Göransson are constantly stuck with the task of copying the temp track when hired and either you do it or they hire somebody else.

[@corbinmusic]

I tried this exact process and still got flagged by soundcloud, I miss the days when soundcloud was the hub of bootlegs...

[@MajorTroubleMusic]

These videos are hands down one of the best resources out there right now. It's interesting to see how we often overcomplicate the whole process and you've got the beauty in simplicity dialed. Hats off to you!

[@lougeorge]

I Love this track!! Bought it last week for my set. Can't believe that here you are showing how you made it. Massive, Massive thanks to you James Hype for the track and the tips, from North Wales

Mr. Hype. I am an Oldhead. But I can say you will go down in history as the greatest DJ ever, not just because of your obvious DJ skills but because of your humility and desire to help others. Thanks for all you do.

[@Tracidas]

I've heard this track on the radio the night of May 11th when there was a solar storm and the aurora's were dancing over head all over Europe. It was a cold night, so I rushed in my car to get warm and this song blew me away. It was magical and this song fit so well to the magestic mood. This track is my favorite of all your tracks. Keep it up and bless you! 🎉😊

[@jmiles.]

Honestly This is crazy.. asked chat gpt to summarize this with time stamps : Summary: The video is an in-depth breakdown of the production process behind a newly released track called "Wild," highlighting the creation of the synth lead, bass, drums, chords, and the use of AI to recreate a vocal sample. It also covers the application of various effects, processing techniques, and the minimal use of plugins on the master chain. Key Points: 0:09 The video presents a detailed breakdown of the production process for the track "Wild," emphasizing the creation of the synth lead, bass, drums, chords, and the use of AI to recreate a vocal sample. 1:20 The synth lead is created using multiple layers of the same preset with different effects, resulting in a complex and epic sound. 1:23 The bass is derived from a loop with additional processing such as Decapitator, Kickstart, EQ, and reverb to achieve a techno feel. 2:15 The drum section largely consists of loops, particularly the 909 kit, with additional effects and processing to enhance the overall sound. 5:35 The creator utilized AI to recreate a vocal sample from an old track, explaining the process of importing it into Audimee and modifying it to fit the track. 7:36 Surprisingly, the master chain contains only three plugins: Blackbox, Fabfilter Saturn, and BrainWorx limiter, which are used minimally to achieve the desired sound. 8:47 The producer emphasizes the simplicity of the project in terms of the elements used, highlighting that the track was made in just a few hours and was well-received in the DJ set. 9:02 The video concludes with a call to support the released track and encourages viewers to subscribe for more content.

This is highly inspiring and thanks a lot for showing what your creative process was for this tune . As a wannabe electronic music composer myself it really felt like a short and free masterclass with the man himself James Hype ! I loved the content, love the energy in your tracks and love the fact you've made it that far ! Not every artists will openly share how they make their magic banger sauce so I hope people here realize how precious this kind of content is. Really wish I could share more ideas regarding some techniques you've showcased but I might want to wait being "notorious" before doing so 😂 Much love James, keep the planet dancing ❤🤟

[@rumbaorecords]

I want to take a moment to express my deep admiration for James Hype, not only as a DJ but especially as a producer. His innovative approach to music and his ability to create electrifying tracks have always inspired me. James Hype’s unique style and energy behind the decks are truly unmatched, and his productions consistently push the boundaries of what’s possible in electronic music. Following his advice has been a game-changer for me. I recently completed the DJTips course with Phil and James, and it has profoundly impacted my skills and understanding of music production. The insights and techniques I learned from James have been invaluable, and I feel more confident and creative in my own work. Thank you, James Hype, for being such an incredible influence and for sharing your knowledge with aspiring producers like myself. Your passion and dedication to music are truly inspiring, and I look forward to continuing to learn and grow under your guidance. I am musician also, i play percusion with Manu Chao and he like a lot of your music and your style!! Thanks James!

If i sample some vocals with this website, do i have to upload it as cover version of the sampled track or is it just fine to upload it on all platforms without giving any credits?

You’d still have to clear the composition copyright, this only (potentially) gets you out of clearing the master copyright

Its a great idea actually, re-sing the original sample usiang AI to avoid copyright issue! Will definitely use this in the future, Thanks!

[@bmt_techno]

Nice one! You should set the ceiling on your limiter to -0.2 as a 0dB ceiling may cause a bit of clipping on some systems. Also low cut (high pass filter) not needed - if you ever want to control 30Hz and below on the master just use pro-q3 and do a low *shelf* instead :)

love when artists use below 30hz bass lines, shit just slaps that much harder in the car and at the club lol
