wish i could make a kpop song together edit : wish we could make a kpop song together

[@priapushk996]

I've had "Just Be Yourself" on repeat, and I asked "What genius wrote this?" I found your credit, googled you, and here I am. It's so gratifying to see the creative process is just as high-energy and joyful as the final product. I know kpop doesn't get a lot of respect from Music Theory Twitter but Emma Stone, myself, and everyone with access to the internet are in awe of your talent and hard work.

[@Adiyel0612]

yo i'm literally smiling while watching the whole vid lol

[@anna.timgren]

Aww this makes me happy! :)

[@rayharryhausen3649]

Thanks for the insight. You have great voice. More videos please....

[@PokeTwilight]

This is so inspiring thank you!! As an aspiring producer in Kpop I want to incorporate top line into it as well! I can’t believe you wrote TWICE’s Get Loud too! Loved this video and subbed!

[@anna.timgren]

Awesome! Glad you like Get Loud!! :) Good luck! :)

@@anna.timgren if there are days when you doubt your work or yourself, i’d like to say there are more than one person who were inspired by you and hopefully you can take a break when you need it, get back up again, and just do what makes your heart joyful. Sending lots of love ☺️

[@anna.timgren]

❤️❤️❤️ Thank you so so much for your words! They mean the world!!!!

[@rainbow-rv1gy]

your song u+me=love is so good, usually I don't look for the writters, but I had to do it now

[@anna.timgren]

Thank you! 🥰

[@lorenzomarfil1022]

[@ncdcei-6272]

Please make one more tutorial how to make kpop music like this

[@RandomVideos4U]

Wow, as someone college bound for songwriting, that was so impressive how quickly you had a melody together

[@WillieJasinski]

This video has inspired me so, so much, and it’s completely changed how I record vocals, I’m so thankful that I saw this😭I have one question though...do you record doubles on every single lead you record? Even if it’s for the verse of a song? Or do you just have one voice with effects on the verse, and then add doubles for the hook? Also, do you always do doubles of every harmony as well? Thank you so much🙏🏼

[@anna.timgren]

Glad it helped you! :) I usuallt don’t record dubs for every lead, I kinda feel it out if the verse needs dubs or not. It’s a matter of taste I think! I always make L and R harmonies!

[@jerrymowday]

YOU MADE U+ME with Alawn!!! My favorite GP999 song!

[@dept113]

cool!!

[@GUiTERtUbE]

It’s not just your voice but your passion work flow also addictive that anyone will have fun to be around. Your voice is such a girly refreshing vibe. No surprise why you definitely needed in the K-pop industry. I learnt and inspired so much from you thx 🤘🏼🥰

i like your mixing and ideas well thank you so much keep going babe

[@artistpartyman8263]

Hey! Timgren, Anna. I must say you are extremely surgical with producing songs with Logic Pro DAW. I always wondered what topliners were and for the fact I am a very new "Baby Boomer to DAW and music software. Thank you for sharing how to create Topliners for songs. I have been so used to using patch bays etc.. hardware to produce music lol that during COVID-19 I decided to get back in the loop by investing in updated gear for my home studio to produce music. However, it has been an exciting journey to learn how to operate my Logic Pro DAW along with other DAWs I use. I hope to see more of your tips and perhaps learn how to use Pro logic as a whole with tutorials on the use of Buses, mixing mastering, etc.... lol I think you get my point of view. So anyway, again, thanks for the tutorial lesson. :-) 👍🏽

[@rodrigoriverot]

Anna. You're great. Keep going

Thank you! :D Came from Azodi and it was quiet funny. I saw today his older video "How to write a K-Pop Chorus" and wrote a comment and asked him if he can do a vocal melody tutorial and he could even used that instrumental he showed us in this video. He replied, that you just yesterday uploaded a video to this topic and that is even on this same instrumental. That timing, that coincidence - thats quiet hilarious Keep doing content! I love it.
