So lucky to have you and KSHMR producing my music for me! This is a dream come true!! 🌊✨ I hope everyone enjoys “Underwater”! Don’t forget to check out the music video 🙌🏻

[@DaveToneMusic]

Awesome song Karra! You guys are a great team!

[@josedanielmartinezrock]

It's one of the best songs I have ever heard. I really enjoy all your productions. Karra and Reid is the perfect combo.

[@AAYOOBDAPRODUCER]

Great song

[@jasonreviews]

wait you got Kshmr? actual als file? you can learn all his tricks by studying his track?

[@iamkarramusic]

@@jasonreviews yes KSHMR’s production is in this Ableton session we are showing you in this video!

[@jayR0191]

Glad you’re back to posting on here

[@sean_wave]

The reggaeton crossover man. This really is something else

[@niteshjha5456]

Love how the pup goes crazy at 15:33

[@WholeLoops]

THAT WHOLE LOOPS ORGANIC FRESHNESS IS STRONG IN THIS TRACK 💪🏻

[@iamkarramusic]

Whole loops is the truth!!

[@DarkTrapStudio]

this that WL that Keep them strong !

[@danielskittles7784]

The whole loops ads never disappoint

[@Kpm1985]

It’s truly beautiful that you are willing to share the process at this level. I learned a ton from this

[@raztube90]

Pro tip: If you click on the red MIX button in the reverb it will be greyed out. It will lock it and it won’t change if you change the preset.

[@IFeeeeelGood]

Reid this is a production masterclass! Thanks very much for this free contents. I understand that now you have online courses but i'm really grateful to you for all these videos you've posted in the past that have helped many of us understanding what is behind professional production and mixing. Can't thank you enough for all you do

[@LEWZR]

Good shit! Love all the stuff you've produced for Karra, like Pop and Happen

[@OfficialVicco]

Very glad the realest puppet is back with the classic videos

[@Bashanvibe]

It took me a long time to finally understand how AL works!!! You have helped along my journey I’ll be buying from your store to say thank you soon!!!

[@DaveToneMusic]

Wonderful walkthrough Reid, sounds amazing. Great job by all involved, it really shows the value of collaboration and that even with great skills you've still got the wisdom and humility to hand it off when it needs another artists touch. You guys are friggin' awesome! Bravo!

[@Comrade-q5o]

Karra is just too good

[@marioCazares]

Everything about this song is so good and emotional I'm in love with it

[@v3zMedia]

Not gonna lie you make me want to leave my FL to Studio One workflow so that everything can be done in 1 way more easily revised and edited project.

[@ReidStefanMusic]

My tutorials have unintentionally converted many FL Studio Producers to Ableton. Having everything visible in 1 cohesive window is much simpler for anybody’s workflow, compared to everything floating in completely separate windows like FL Studio does. Also Ableton stock plugins sound extremely professional compared to ANY other DAW’s 🔐 Karra prefers pro tools because she’s strictly a vocal producer, but Ableton easily can do everything you need in 1 session.

[@gusdee4844]

I was once you bro, do it! Lol. To create a production then song in one spot is way better workflow. Love ableton.. Studio one is a good one tho and capable of this.

[@v3zMedia]

@@gusdee4844 yeah Studio One is a beast too. Just gotta produce in it more.

[@savagecalibre5178]

Wow for the best you gave reid! UAD.❤❤❤

[@gourabmahata]

Beautiful ❤️ Reid , such a down to 🌍 person , love from India 🇮🇳 🙏

[@joost3783]

honestly I think that sounds way overcompressed before even being mastered, and I'm not even the "14-LUFS-kind-of-guy" xD. Happy ur back

[@antek0404]

This master takes this song to another level

[@karymwillemsen5564]

I dont care if anyone agree with me or not but you are just the absolute best of the best. I bought all your wave and uad sauce. First time I saw the pupet I was really sceptical. But ones you start talking and explaining I was hooked. I work on completely different styles of music but still found a lot of usefull tips and tricks. I would sell one of my guitars to spend a week with you as my coach.

[@djcj]

Love the Pop Music breakdowns on Ableton. Thanks!

[@Zentamusic]

REID!!!!! YOU'RE THE MANNN

[@Aka_Fer]

Maravilloso cada componente de esta producción, me encanta esta canción. Abrir la sesión todo un lujo. Gracias Reid y Karra.

[@kevinschmidt7124]

[@iamkarramusic]

[@Legendsumming]

bro i miss your sessions so much i somehow lost track of you because i would only see small clips and other platform interactions.

[@ReidStefanMusic]

I took a break from uploading here to help launch Karra's channel, and Luca Pretolesi's online school MyMixLab. but i'm back now!

[@Legendsumming]

@@ReidStefanMusic hell yeah bro !!! I got distracted playing warzone for a bit honestly but this sessions definitely refreshes me . Clients and my boss are going to like this .

It s production time 😍😍😍😍wow

[@ReidStefanMusic]

PRODUCTION TIME IS BACK 🚀

[@NickTew-music]

damn that tune is already hitting -6 lufs before mastering !!!

[@808ross8]

U can just trim it or u can just be a decent mastering engineer and not listen to the shitty streaming recommendations lol

[@djdoublecheck]

Hey Reid Stefan, really love your videos Could you please make a video about LUFS I really need to know, even if streaming services target is - 14 - 11 lufs, why u do master like -5 integrated? Why it's important?

[@ALIMU]

Love this song 😆🔥🔥🔥😤😤

[@charlessch7548]

You did a great work on this song ! Maybe it's a stupid question but why do you need the song to be as loud as possible if all the streaming platforms have a limit ?

[@peepsxd0]

This is so gud...😍😍

[@KavishanSamarakoon]

How do you go about when collabing with bigger DJs/Producers without getting scammed?

[@abhisheksrivastava3787]

The vocal chain was missing. Can you make a video on it please ?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

That’s going to be a pro tools session walkthrough on Karra’s channel next week!

[@michaelperez5273]

🗣Let me see your leg 🦶 Reid Stefan lol😂

[@veittruchsess3612]

Great work of y‘all! And thanks for sharing the process. Could you make a video explaining the right LUFS levels for your master ? Your hitting at 5-6 (obvs momentarily) but in my understanding as long as my song is at -14 overall I’m good or not ?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

luca pretolesi and i are planning a collab video for this channel that will answer that question and more 👍🏻

[@veittruchsess3612]

Thanks for answering so quickly dude! Big greetings from Germany 🤙

[@gusdee4844]

No! Dont listen to the -14 thing.. -9 -8 is a good level, will just take time to get there. Its a process

[@torbenb.5026]

Vintage Plugins 😂🤩

[@galeftube]

Nice haircut 👍

[@Airsoftdublover]

Reid! What Ram do you have on your computer? And what buffer size do you use in Ableton? I’ve been getting so much lag and audio dropouts even with no cpu or tracks. My Ram is 16 so I’m confused. Could be an Ableton 10 issue?

[@ReidStefanMusic]

My Mac Pro is maxed out 384 GB of RAM

[@Airsoftdublover]

@@ReidStefanMusic geez! What a beast. Guess I gotta upgrade lol

[@jasonchu4400]

has anyone even notice the puppet is using the keyboard and mouse? to show us how to mix?

"Tracks should be mastered to -14LUFS or Spotify will just turn them down" lol

[@ReidStefanMusic]

The volume of Spotify’s default music playback does not determine the volume you should be mastering & uploading your music at 🎚A full video about this subject is coming soon featuring Luca Pretolesi 💎
