How To Make An Alternative Rock Ballad (Joan, The Band Camino, Knox)

[@livx31998]

Voting yes on the vocal video! 🤘🏼

[@raf5.13]

And I challenge him to make it with CCM lyrics.

[@josiastroeps987]

This is giving me LANY vibes 🤩

[@carlostorres1171]

That intro - *big* youth group energy. 👌🏼😉

[@MakePopMusic]

big ccm vibes here

[@carlostorres1171]

@@MakePopMusicWe (religious people) love a 1 to 4. 🤣

[@JoshuaReichMusic]

This is one of my absolute favorites you've done man! So killer!

[@IKTAJJ]

you inspire me .....i felt like my production style in sounding old. but using this video I made it sound modern. thanks for ur work and efforts on these videos

[@PeterGargano8]

Cool! Next new jack swing, Michael Jackson, or 80s hair metal please!!!

[@ferngullllllly7637]

I second a new jack swing tutorial !!!!!!!!

[@marcusbishop8936]

I 3rd that, I’ve literally been listening to Janet Jackson’s ‘Control’ all week

[@MaxFury_Official]

Can't believe you didn't call me and asked for an interview of how i did my indie/softrock/synthpop/yacht rock ballad with the most epic solo you've heard in ages! Just the intro alone is $$$$$$$$$ And i'm not kidding. Gonna watch the video now, and after that cry about all the vocals i have to record for an upcoming song. Edit: Aha, it was one of 'those ballads'. For some reason i was thinking Toto Africa or something

your projects are real than real man

[@Ca0nil3r0]

You really are the best teacher! 😎

[@onivarsae]

Good work!

[@kendallmasterssank369]

You're the man. Thanks

[@paulg3388]

Would really appreciate the follow up vocal video thanks Austin.

[@SHUBHAMKOLI-fd4jl]

Undoubtedly one of the best videos of yours I've seen so far and please add vocals for it. Reminds me of good old Switchfoot days!

[@christianquintanilla1800]

BRO.... this was it for me. this video from all the others especially since this vid mentions the bands I love. I want to do something like this. great video man. I LOVE IT

[@fujinubaruniki]

I like music you made and your sound is so cool‼︎ I can't wait this song released🤘

[@ChadBarnier]

Unreal! So many moments of wisdom and genius in this

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you!!

[@keefergreen7467]

Dude love your stuff .. I always thought it’d be rad to do a production … take your 101 course than have like a before and after and show it on video ! Seems like a good idea in my head anyway !

[@MaciejLapinski]

Maan! I love this type of songs, I really love this video and all techniques and sounds you’re showing! Great job 🎉

[@NewHopeAudio]

Is there a genre you can’t do!? Very good. Have to say, as a worship guy myself… you nailed those vibes 😆

[@yinsteve8230]

Masterpiece！

[@corrgtdbeats]

right on time

[@louiewgroenewald]

Sounds great!. Love it!

[@rosegoldenbeats7960]

SO SICK

[@romain.mp4582]

Reminds me a lot of the first chase atlantic songs like roxanne, anchor tattoo tho ! Keep it up man thats incredible !!

[@_ConnorEdwardsMusic]

No matter what you believe, Phil Wickham makes bangers (this kinda sounds like his stuff).

[@Somedei]

Top Class video, and thanks for discovering me the Joan song, I somehow am following on spoti but this one never clicked until you named it

[@javascript6948]

I was waiting for this type of video would love to see part 2 vocal production

[@DanielAlbertson1994]

Yes on the vocal video.

[@רועישפירא-ב1ס]

wowww. the goat👑

[@3rdFloorContent]

Yes video on vox this style! Great video thank you

[@nealpolitan_6th]

I'd love a tutorial on vocals with this style. Great Video!!

[@ThomasPenninger]

Now I want those gatekeeper samples 😂😂

[@dakotaaryerson]

As a fellow lover of The Band CAMINO and alt. pop/indie rock, I LOVE this track. Truly excellent work. All your content is amazing, man. Really appreciate the stuff you do. Also, as a music director of a church, I’ve been curious for a long time to get a non-religious person’s take on today’s CCM/Worship music like Elevation, Hillsong (Young & Free has some poppier tracks), Bethel, Red Rocks, etc., and get an honest take what they like or don’t like or what they would change to make it more interesting. I’d love to send you some specific tracks of what’s popular right now and get your thoughts. For the record, I’ve been bored with church music for a little while now, and have been dying for some inspiration to make it more interesting to listen to and play haha. Thanks again!

[@usa-i1h]

Thats crazy genere thank you so much on this❤❤❤❤

[@Sky_Ogtorgui]

Wow cool！❤

[@masonthomassax]

COOKED on this one bro 🔥🔥🔥

[@MakePopMusic]

appreciate that one ma boi

[@Antosha9791]

Great job! Bloody brilliant

[@josuamuller4543]

Wow Great Video!!! I‘d love to see the follow up vocal video

[@jesyrey9019]

suena genial, muchas gracias saludos desde HONDURAS

[@Amirhosseinkhemati_76]

tnx for teaching

[@Jcjenxnc]

I'd love to see your take on how to make tracks like THE WLDLFE's Anxious, Blood Orange, and Wreck My Life. Some different vibe songs from them would be Turtleneck, Forgive and Forget, and Dream, Pt. II.

[@MakePopMusic]

those guys are so fire

[@iamfonseca72]

Great tutorial as usual. Some real nuggets in here. Question, are you recording your guitar plugged in or are you mic'ing it?

[@MakePopMusic]

No. Micing it, single mic, double tracked. Taylor 214CE recorded with the Lauten LS208 into a Rupert Neve Newton into an AudioScape 76D into an AudioScape Opto comp into my RME interface

[@iamfonseca72]

@@MakePopMusic Ok cool thanks for the details!

[@Destinysproblemchild]

My god are you talented af! I have been producing my own music for a few years now but nothing I have ever made comes even close to this! Really incredible, how did you learn all this??

[@haunguyen1998s]

perfect

[@brentsmith9411]

Grabbing a cheap Squier P Bass is so worth it for recording. They track beautifully, especially for simple parts like this.

[@MakePopMusic]

I have a Fender Jazz Bass and love it! I almost grabbed it and threw it on the track but I was just like "it's too simple of a bassline to bother"

[@timmiller9116]

I'm hearing a big-time Lifehouse vibe. Definitely do a follow-up vocal video.

[@JJGrade-no6xd]

Great ❤ thx Boss

[@Panacea30]

Another Great Tutorial!

[@KnewTherapy]

So great

[@ronmaster5220]

Austin. Great sounds! Vocal video please.

[@123GEZZY]

yes great work...would be nice to see a linked vocal video

[@stevenrutherford8439]

god i love you

[@MakePopMusic]

Fancy seeing you here babe ❤️

[@MakePopMusic]

Come break down superglue so people can stop watching me off brand copy it lolol

[@aLoudSi1ence]

Another vote for vocal video.

[@nieljosiah]

Please make a video on making a song in the style of More (Like that) by Max Drazen. It has such a unique vibe!

[@neonclubmx]

vocal video for this!!

[@yosiefdesta1127]

Sounds great! Just out of curiosity - how long does this stuff take to make?

[@2hadow22]

You should try making a music or a sound like "Kiraw", i find is style very unique and different from the more usual ones. Same thing as is lyrics

[@_ConnorEdwardsMusic]

Did you mean to leave the MBSI on the “Line” setting for the guitar vs. Mic? Have you found that matters at all?

[@MakePopMusic]

Definitely matters! Line has a nice little top end roll off that emulates the old unit. Mic has a high shelf to compensate for that roll off. So it was definitely meant to be on line to help cut some of that sizzle on the acoustic

[@_ConnorEdwardsMusic]

@@MakePopMusic thank you!

[@Nickz01]

Please make a video on "How to make a song like Chris Grey" (Songs like "Make The Angels Cry", "Makeup", "Let The World Burn", "Always Been You"

[@mjayvalen]

why did i cry watching this? dammit

[@johnjackson4268]

I think the song is really good and has potential. It's a shame that it isn't available to download with lyrics and a suggested melody. I would be interested to see how my vocals fit in with this...

[@Vintsent]

Amazing video , as always dude !!! Question : the drums you used are from the Lush pack or an other one ? Thanks man PS : Dude I downloaded all your Freebies, included this one : "Make Pop Music - RETRO (FREE SERUM PRESETS)", the folder is empty man ;). Just to let you know

[@MakePopMusic]

Lush is ONLY serum presets! Drums in this are Austin Davis Kit from Drum Sample Shop for the shells, Gojira from Mixwave for the cymbals

[@MakePopMusic]

send an email to support and we can get a new link for you

[@Vintsent]

@@MakePopMusic Ok I'll do that, thank you very much

[@Vintsent]

@@MakePopMusic Perfect, thanks a lot man, I'm gonna check this out

[@MIRKO09061]

If i were to have the song mixed, would you group many of those tracks together or would you send each channel individually? if so, what's the best way to do it? Ty

[@simon_esse896]

Next: Dark Drill Pop/Trap Song. Would be great. 🎼🎸💯🔥

[@qfurgie]

please vocal video!!

[@ethanlerway]

Bro is that the legit Haunted snare?? I need it 😩 I’ve got the Austin Davis DSS. It’s fantastic.

[@dakotaamblo6873]

Love your stuff man,, Any way you could do a song like linking park?

[@josiastroeps987]

We wanna hear Mk.gee Style Songs!!!! 🎸🌖🚨

[@MakePopMusic]

Go peep our instagram story from a couple hours ago 😂

[@josiastroeps987]

No way! If you make a video about him I’ll buy the lush pack for for real 😂😂😘

[@tobionekenobi9101]

You should send this over to Joan

[@MakePopMusic]

they heard it. I don't think we're doing this one together but we may be working on more stuff soon!

[@ASmithAllStars]

How about a video on Jon Bellion from that Jimin jam?

[@prince_rhythms]

what did you say the acoustic drums you are using are?

[@MakePopMusic]

Shells are the Austin Davis Kit from Drum Sample Shop Cymbals are Gojira kit from Mixwave

[@prince_rhythms]

@@MakePopMusic so good thank you!!

[@sweettoothmusicofficial]

sounds like Bruises by The Band CAMINO!!!

[@MakePopMusic]

perfect! that was a reference for the video.

[@MicknPhil]

More country style videos

[@Amirhosseinkhemati_76]

what was the name of the drums samplepack????

[@MakePopMusic]

Shells are from Austin Davis kit from Drum Sample Shop and the cymbals are from the Gojira kit from Mixwave

[@大頭三家姐]

How much time does it take for you to create a song like this? Just curious. 😄

[@MakePopMusic]

A few hours

[@MusicWithNoName]

It would be awesome if you could make a song like Conan Gray's newest album, Found Heaven!

[@MatthewLone]

Shawn Mendes. Edit: I love this song. Also without singing.

[@dmitriytimofeyev5428]

Please consider making a cvrches style song🙏

[@RestLer-]

Austin, i am a very small musician from Siberia, but i do my own music. Why you, a very big musician, try to be a similar to other people? You are much more! You make a better job then other artists, who's music we listen in streaming platforms! Be yourself! You are great! Without charts// I mean it//

[@Mounty-cd3uh]

You literally recreated “Du bist wunderschön“ by Miss Allie 😂

[@marclewism]

6/8 vibes😂

[@mathiastoftsimonsen]

Do vocals!

[@Azfurita]

Vocals video

[@lsraudio]

I want vocals

[@johnjackson4268]

I think the song needs a strong voice like George Michael and Elton John in Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me. Or a beautiful female voice like whitney houston or mariah carey….

[@SincoBeatingatBeatz]

MAKE ALT RNB POP Or rnb like after hours PLEAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE i request you from my deep heart

Where are the electric guitar?

[@AdamSliger]

boy if you don't stop

[@aqlord]

add electric guitars and it's pretty much biffy clyro

[@jeremiahculver2776]

Time sig change to 3/4? So prog bruh

[@MakePopMusic]

i'm a theory master now

[@benjamin.kelley]

Worship song, but the "radio version" 😂

[@Savagefred]

I'm finding the more I watch modern day music production videos in the country/pop kind of vibe...I just see so many similarities between the worship band at my wife's church and modern music lol

[@TheSingingCelebrant]

Indeed a much fuller sound. If you'd ever consider adding a Mature Vocal to something like this, do please hit me up, I'd be honoured
