How to get a BIG sound WITHOUT alot of tracks...

[@AlexArcady]

Watching/Learning from Russia. To be honest Forest, your inspiring videos are exactly what I’ve tried to find for a long time. Grateful Russian.

[@falconr56]

Forest we do appreciate all your efforts to provide great production information. I look forward to so much more if your are willing. Can't wait to attend another one of your classes.

[@scotthamilton7161]

You are so good at getting to the essence of what you are teaching. This is such a great example of "less is more", if done correctly. Thank you, thank you.

[@sibonelombathalsmoothjazz5296]

I repeat your videos like a track forest 👌 awesome work blessed

[@atrain2020]

What a clean track, Forest! I started following you when you and Nathan were doing a producer challenge ( you killed it, by the way). I always learn something new from watching your videos. Keep on feeding us

[@keithlawcomedy]

I found Forest via that very video, haven't looked back

[@manfredfrings1520]

exactly like me

[@maalaern]

Saaaame!

[@filippo7349]

And me!

[@thedealgeek648]

Same! He deserves so much more recognition

[@LambertDriveStudios]

you just keeping dropping more gold nuggets !! Really enjoyed this quick and to the point breakdown, I am going to attempt to copy the exact production layers of this with a current song I just started. I really need to challenge myself to level up! thank you so much for the inspiration that I desperately needed today Forest !

[@dubsbarry9963]

Another superbly described nugget of gold from Forest. Big fan!

[@fiddlefolk]

Your tracks always sound phenomenal Forest! I like the mandolin juxtaposed against the harder guitars.

[@michaeldavid1198]

Awesome. Thanks, Forest!!!

[@claymillsmusic]

You can’t hide professionalism ;)

[@jimmystuckeysongs3859]

Bang Bang Bro...thanks for sharing your awesome studio stuff...! Cheers

[@RikoOkelo]

This is Gold! Thank you.

[@manfredfrings1520]

Now I'm beginning to understand what my mentor has been trying to tell me all this time. Thanks for sharing all of these tips with all of us!

[@keithlawcomedy]

Once again, lovely helpful guides that are easy to understand. Thanks Forest

[@courtney903]

I think you were reading my mind with this one, I needed this today!

[@Charles-gs4os]

Great video! Over production was a huge problem of mine when I started

[@eveingham9634]

And again. Top guy.

[@KennCrawford]

Another great, easy-to-absorb demonstration Forest of how less really is more. I watched every video of yours, several of them multiple times, and have learned so much. I really like how you show that simple, well placed licks add so much, and that you don't have to be a shredder to have a full guitar sound. Really enjoyed the mandolin part and how it fills out the acoustic rather than layers and layers of acoustics. I really need to start playing the mandolin I have lol Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion.

[@Rough_Records]

New video needed 🥹

[@Mike-yz8iy]

🤘🏼 thanks Forest!

[@RussStillMusic]

Great stuff. Thanks so much for sharing

[@christopherjones9419]

So useful -thanks !

[@bwall615]

Great video, Forest!

[@JonRaven]

I am really loving these videos Forest! Thank you so much!

[@jd0tadams]

As per usual, Great work. I often use your tricks in my metal mixes. Thanks!

[@georgetsurkan]

Hey Forest, Ive been watching your content for a while. Always on the look out for the your next video! You are really my favorite teacher here on this platform when it comes to production. Nice and simple. Just purchased your course "Track in a day" can't wait to see how things turn out. Respect brother! Quick note, will you be uploading the Studio One Versions of this on here far as templates and stuff? I can follow along in logic and stuff..... Sorry this has nothing to do with this video. LOL

[@MaPa60]

Really nice work, I love the sounds!

[@dubaisensei]

beautiful sound always ,so proud to follow you

[@MM-bv7ks]

wow, that's gold!

[@chadfayrobinson7537]

Only 50 maybe I need to add more LOL Great Channel man!

[@forestwhitehead]

Most of my finished sessions have 75-100 tracks!

[@JulianFernandez]

[@YagoMann]

Love these videos.

[@woodhousemusic7176]

👌

[@djerikfox]

...oh man, you are amazing...respect!!! I love your channel!!!

[@Soundcheck-GiuseppePalladino]

You are awesome! Your italian fan!

[@DannyPhantomCooks]

Dude we love you

[@forestwhitehead]

Thanks for watching! More videos coming soon.

[@countryguitaronline]

Good stuff Forest 🎸

[@paiolagt]

dude, the guitar tone is on point 👌

[@EyesOfTruthmusic]

So clean sounding!

[@faithstorehousemusic7591]

very inspiring indeed Forrest

[@jaguarsunburst1570]

Excelent Thankyou ❤❤❤

[@cjchantler9912]

awesome!! your Drums always so clean why dont you do a vid on drums ideas and how to??

[@_ConnorEdwardsMusic]

This is a great idea for a video. Could you consider organizing it more into specific tips, rather than just showing the cool parts of the song? That way it feels a little more helpful and niche.

[@forestwhitehead]

Ill try to do better for you.

[@maxduimovic]

awesome 😎

[@santalisongsbd7015]

❤nice

[@ZachTerryPastor]

Forest, In one of your videos you referenced a AI mastering tool that works with Logic Pro X. I may have been an ad, not certain. Do you recall what that plugin/tool was?

[@trisham756]

Wow so amazing!! Do you work with people to engineer and collaborate with people? I would love to work with you as a songwriter. You are great!!

[@sendforacar9323]

Most classical composers only used 4 elements (although several at a time to create one huge sound) only used 4 elements at a time.

Thank you Forest. Really good, practical stuff. What instrument libraries would you buy first?

[@TheFugitivo90]

🤝🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻hi from Chile

[@godisgoodallthetimeman4796]

are you gonna release this song>

[@grizzli1994]

Sounds great Forest! What drum library are you using on this song?

[@anishranjansarkar1969]

fantastic, do you have any bass guitar midi composition video, I have to learn that.

[@BrandonAshh]

Can you go into how you mix everything to sound that full but not that many tracks because I think that’s where the real fullness comes from

[@123GEZZY]

Great video as always... Please can you tell me how to automate effects.. I. E delay.... I got a midi guitar part which is hard right but like you said in this video it's nice to have the delay hard left.. I can't see how I would carry this out

[@soakedingracemusic9057]

Really love your sound Forest! Do you ever quantise your tracks (the drums in particular)?

[@DeanSimmons]

By watching his other videos, he does quantise but sets the intesity down, to keep a human fee. I believe I seen him use 81%.

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

What’s the best alternative to a mandolin to double that acoustic? I have a guitalele, but that’s strung with Nylon…or could string my Yamaha acoustic in Nashville turning. VSTs?

[@nebilusman9679]

Can you make video about gain staging please

[@charliegomabay6171]

❤❤🙏

[@imonlydancingsal1509]

Hey Forest, what mic do you need to use to record acoustic guitars ?

[@MusicProductReviews]

what mic do you use?

[@darrylweller6143]

Do you have a video with what gear you are using?

[@graymadden8707]

What do you recommend/look for in a midi controlar for someone geared towards keys?

[@CodyHall_Music]

I might be wrong but is that a WA-CX12 microphone?

[@officialWWM]

“Only around 50 tracks” 😂my songs have 15 tracks and I think it’s too much 😂

[@jeffrey.a.hanson]

It’s a race between my brain and computer crashing at 10… lol. My mind exploded when Logic released a Billie Eilish Template and it had like 60 vocal layers...for the most basic song. 😔

[@officialWWM]

Bro please I need a beat from you, to write song with
