6:38 BPMs ? Beat Per Minutes ? How about BsPM or just normal BPM like everyone else ?

[@JeffZuccMusk]

Bassline is one of the best in 2019.

[@joserotela]

absolutely!

[@tweeeeeak228]

That 70's bass sound just kills me...

[@AndrewTSq]

@@tweeeeeak228 yes, its the sound of the bass that does it. Not really the melody even if its good.

[@8DenverBass]

Try Disco Ulysses by Vulfpeck then

[@Holygiant]

For pop anyway

[@EzyoMusic]

The bass line makes the song for me.

[@alext9151]

This bass line just makes the song))

[@deldia]

Agreed - overall it's not a great song in its raw songwriting but with its epic production it's good.

[@ProdLucio]

@@deldia you did not just say that

[@deldia]

@@ProdLucio I love it but not sure it’d work well played on ukulele.

Damn I love all these production tips, it's the little details that really get me excited and make me fall in love with the whole production side of music

[@DarlaBaltazar]

Hey man I'd been benefitting a lot from the EP Blueprint (thank you to you and Graham) and wow this is such an awesome tutorial. Learned a bunch of little nuggets here like that envelope thing for the snare sample, layering techniques, what those transient arrows were for, processing the drums, making those pads with serum, duplicating while holding option, and even using that legato button. I've been using ableton for over a year now, and gotten a good grasp of it, but it really inspires me to see someone so fluent in the language of the program. I aspire to be a producer like you, who can think of what sound he wants to hear and know immediately what to do to achieve it. :) Cheers

[@jonathanmoseby5851]

You missed a pretty essential part of the bass line, the SLAP

[@kylekent3997]

Davie504 approves.

[@marquiselektrek7487]

It's nice to see an incredibly talented person, at the top of their game. Not only does ILL Factor play keys, but he knows his software, recording engineering, and how to effectively use every feature and control available to him. You're A Master Bruh'! 😎

[@BeatAcademy]

Truly it is my pleasure. :)

[@vidDunk]

Solid tutorial once again. Bass guitar drops seems to be the wave right now.

[@Piratesteve81]

First time I heard that song I thought this is great production work. And now I watch your video and can confirm my first initial thought. Thanks for the video.

[@MikeDaigle_Music]

Mannn I love that you do this. These types of ''how to produce'' videos are such a great idea and I learn so much from them.

[@filipgalvanek1228]

Mike Daigle you should check physical too ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/aoHPqaiid9GpjLc contains *free project download*

[@ethanlee4669]

Changing the velocity of the second kick and hat is such a simple change that makes it sound so much better great tip

[@queeniu8843]

Thank you for sharing! I fell in love with this song, and I just don't get bored of it. It's really nice to see it being broken down. Will definitely be watching more of your videos!

[@vongdong10]

This dude just recreated this song in 20min, probably could've shaved a few minutes if he wasn't explaining things. Amazing what people with the knowledge can do.

[@Prabhath_the_Dawn]

Wow! That was truly inspiring.. The way you explain in detail, I wished I had exposure to this kind of knowledge and a tutor like you few years ago 😎👌🏻 Cheers from Bangalore India! With lots of respect 🙏🏻

Best audio production tutorial video ever. Thanks for the giveaway at the end, Beat Academy!

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure.

[@stefangustafsson2302]

Fun to watch! Thanks for sharing. It's fun and inspiring to see how simple every element is (two plain saw-teeth - de-tune one etc). No intricate sound design exercises, just good arrangement and composing.

[@AndroidGamingApps]

I even came here before listening the original song, this is amazing. Thanks!

[@emanueleciccone2200]

[@tvarasu]

12:20 actually the added harmonics in the synth are the same in the 4th measure as in the 3rd. The notes are E and F#(which is the major 7th of the G chord the progression ends on)

@@pikanoob I think its a great way to expose the new generations to some real bass sounds a nd grooves!!

Inspiring!! Love it, thanks a lot. Thanks for sharing your workflow. You make wanna go home and start doing some new song :)

[@milindjajodia3432]

Ian Kirkpatrick is a BOSS!

[@olli2591]

The track is boring and uninspired compared to other nu-disco artists out there. Kirkpatrick's experience in the genre is negligible, so that's no surprise. But even worse, the track is combining elements that don't fit well together, it feels like two very different tracks from two different genres put together with minimum adjustment. That's probably also why it's Dua Lipa's least successful single in a long time despite heavy promo efforts. It blows my mind that somebody thought of this as a lead single, especially with the very high standards her former lead singles set.

[@milindjajodia3432]

@@olli2591 opinions my friend

[@nekowatt5945]

@@olli2591 Not every song has to be spontaneous or energetic in order to be "good" and "Don't Start Now" is more or less a preview of her upcoming album so this isn't to stand on its own forever.

[@Mariooo57]

@@olli2591 That's the hot take I didn't expect to read. You neglect to mention that it isn't as successful as her past singles... because it's indeed a nu disco song in 2019! It doesn't fit today's mainstream pop's landscape at all. It's her most critically acclaimed single since Be The One, which you also didn't mention for some reason... Your bias is showing. Oh and looking at the charts just to check the facts, the song is still rising. It only came out four weeks ago so please, just think before you start speaking nonsense.
