Did this man just made a bop just for a tutorial video

[@MakePopMusic]

we had to do it to em

[@dylanlundgren]

I want to hear this entire song so badly

[@kiliankraus]

same yano, he makes such bangers, and I love how he calls them quick demos he made

[@thomasbreton9674]

I'd love to see a HONNE tutorial, like their vocal processing is amazing

[@baeram]

same actually!!!

[@fredso]

low cut and slap delay. But would love to see someone go deeper

[@EetahPCaak]

@@fredso certain songs of their's also use a decent bit of distortion and over saturation on a double. A lot of cool stuff from them

[@fredso]

@@EetahPCaak indeed

[@zayk8291]

What is the song name?

Dude!!!!! As a producer, as a mixer, as a colleague and as a content creator...I have to say You freaking Rock! It's a shame for me that my audience is in my own language (Spanish) cause I highly recomend your videos. Love this one! Great channel! Hugs!

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you so much!!

[@izmar]

Always impressed with the content you keep pushing out Austin! I'd love another video, or series, of you making a song from scratch. A little behind the scenes to see your writing process. Thanks for all you do!

[@jacquelinevanbierk]

You make it look so easy, lol. Love how you organize your sessions, as a fellow Cubase user, really appreciate it. Cool track btw. Thank you.

[@alexajayemusic]

sir if you do not FINISH and RELEASE this ABSOLUTE BOP I-

[@ennasound]

Thank you so much for sharing this for free. It is so inspiring and motivating for me as a songwriter to see pros like you at work! Please keep going

[@stoneroofstudios4700]

really cool video! I love how you said sometimes layering to define certain parts is more important then having multiple different elements!

[@BryanBoliver]

Love this! Thank you for taking the time to break it down. Super inspiring!

[@keegan6298]

A very talented and energetic young man with a great sense of melody and rhythm. He has the ability to keep it simple and that’s a rare quality. I’m especially humbled to see that he is using Cubase, looks like I’m going to able learn a lot from this exceptional producer.

[@williamdavenport4183]

I use Cubase myself so I stayed tuned in to learn

[@reaktormannen]

I have said it before and I say it again: You are awesome and so talented. I just love this tutorial and I have watched it atleast 10 times. You really should make more funky pop tuts for us to enjoy.

[@bandninkasimusic6484]

Happy New Year Austin! Another excellent video. I've got a funk/disco pop song on the boil at the moment - initial lyrics and bassline in the bag - and I'll be referring to this video quite a bit I expect. I'm using Cubase 11 and your productions/tips etc are very relatable.

[@RottenbergZhenya]

You guys rock! Exactly the sound I'm listening to and trying to imitate recently. Thick & groovy, subscribed

[@nicolomax]

I think this is the video i been waiting for since i started learning music production

[@kunalgoel4371]

Really helpful. Watched it entirely! Cleared a lot of concepts. Thanks!

[@drumndirty]

You are so talented Austin, what a great video....and this track is sick! Stay safe brother, your video are helping!

[@williamhealy6381]

Best series on KZbin I stg, not only is it an amazing tutorial, but it's actually an amazing song

[@gardenhose1858]

You are so talented, thank you for these!

[@zcb27]

it's on the more EDM side of pop but I'd love to see a breakdown of the style on Madeon's new album

[@juliodevesa8792]

yeahhh

[@dulla8469]

Pop did become into this kind of thing, but it does have undeniable elements that are in Charlie Puth Songs, and other songs and artists

[@Ash.Sean.Taylor]

absolutely, good faith is incredible

[@komodinotubesco]

Yes pleas. great idea!

[@anshupandey3582]

Yes! I hope he reads it!!

[@Polynasian808]

Thanks for these bro. I appreciate all your knowledge

[@chillydill4703]

Awesome as usual, getting inspired af! A mixing tip for a little more "warm" vocals, create a second parallel VOX with the little radiator, inactivate the "noise" button. This will give you some of the 300hz that comes from analog gear, like SSL 4K.

[@goldmindstudios6887]

chillydill Jaycen Joshua.

[@tommypallai9841]

been trying to figure this out for a while...this couldn’t have been more perfectly what i was looking for

[@annakat03]

SUBSCRIBED! I learned so much about production thank you!!

[@monsoonmusic]

I absolutely love this song!!!!

[@Addiplayz]

Marvelous track! Checking out this sample pack!

Thank a lot.! for this!

[@chaosandwaffles5970]

Purchased :). Thanks homie and great video.

[@NavesNiche]

This is amazinggg, thank you!

[@LFOVCF]

I have always believed that if you are going to learn a subject, go to the finest examples of people doing the subject. You have a savant level of insight into production, that is way above most on YT. sharing your skills and thinking is greatly appreciated. The fact you can sing so well, as well, is cool, but for us mere mortals, it's a bit...argh! haha. Cheers for doing these videos.

[@nehapedgaonkar5215]

I think on the whole KZbin u r the only producer who makes beats which actually work nowadays in mainstream.... others just make the beats for rap songs which would not even be groovy for common listeners...

[@casymichelle4581]

FRICK YES. BEEN WAITING FOR THIS.

[@chicken5130]

Ik it’s so late but this is exactly the video I was looking for you do such a good job of explaining it too
