This is one of the only channels that posts free full-length in-depth professional videos about producing great music, taught by a great teacher. I wish more people knew about you, Ill Factor.

[@BeatAcademy]

I wish the same thing ;)

[@maximmm5462]

it's like a tribute tutorial

[@manusvcks]

Indeed

[@bellalopera222]

totally

[@cozziefox]

a tributorial?

[@JeremyDawesJezweb]

This is not the greatest song in the world…

[@handbookofmagic]

Damn this resonant filter into the bitcrusher is just insane.

[@foe9034]

Drums: 01:28 Sampling bass: 04:52 Melody line: 06:30 Digital Bass/Human Voice Bass: 12:09 Sampling: 14:05 Tracklib: 16:25 Vocals: 19:155 Topbox sound (Around the world vocal): 23:40

Absolute legend thanks

[@SilverTheFlame]

Also it’s actually a “talkbox” because you, well, talk into it :)

[@RAHULMUSICIAN369]

Final Result?

[@James_Fredrick]

This is so incredibly specific to engineering the Daft sound. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Daft Punk is the band that led me to believe I, a instrumental/vocal nincompoop, can also make music

[@BeatAcademy]

Happy to hear it was helpful

[@Max-ml2hc]

"Some old School Drum Loop" *plays the da funk drum beat* lol

[@ashertheaudiophile1917]

Finna he talentes guy man

[@eachfallenrobin]

Gotta dig for those samples, nothing beats a funk break from wax

[@iteal6484]

Man, I love your tutorials. You’re one of the few who actually been and had success in this industry. It’s truly a blessing that you share your knowledge here. Keep doing this, man!

[@BeatAcademy]

I appreciate that!

[@FasFas160]

You really outdid yourself with this tutorial! I also love how many stock plugins you used

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks a ton!

[@tomw8s]

This is public service 😍

[@BeatAcademy]

And it is truly my pleasure

[@davidscanlan]

Even as an acoustic music producer, I keep coming back to this channel because the workflows you demonstrate inspire me to try new things in my own productions. Thank you for the great content!

[@BeatAcademy]

Great to hear!

[@kingyonkobeats411]

You're truly a great teacher! Thank you so much! Didn't even know you can do that on VocalSynth2 using midi. 🤯🤯🤯

[@BeatAcademy]

Happy to help!

[@kmdarie]

Wow.. digital love has been one of my favorite songs, I had no idea the part I loved the most was sampled

[@nikolasgray1940]

This guys tutorials take it to a whole other level, best emulation of another artist video I’ve seen

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks!

[@harvestplugins9982]

only thing missing is the subtle french accent on the vocals

[@tylerbuckner3750]

Dude...that ad transition was ssssslick.

[@JustWander660]

Bro way you so hard on yourself. The vocals are pretty good.

[@poltad]

Wow that overdrive fattens up the sound!

[@BeatAcademy]

It sure does! Thanks for watching

[@contentmusic9554]

Dude I'm so mind-blown by your knowledge of sound design! It's incredible to see how accurately you recreate the sound by using basic contours!! It gives me hope that I can get to this level one day because with the way you explain it, it doesnt seem so complicated or overwhelming. Thank you for sharing this video!!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@xazqe]

Amazingly skilled tutorial! This made me both jump out of my seat with joy (discovering that original George Duke song sample), and feel really sad (that they’ve split) at the same time. Music can be such a time machine and emotional rollercoaster, which is a privilege to get to ride

[@luxuryleeder748]

This really exceeded my expectations .... bro went crazy

[@anirudhsingh2354]

this is worth gold. If you can do a longer series on this covering all the daftpunk style on ableton. I will surely pay for it.

[@alejandrocabrera7802]

You're an incredible teacher! Thanks for always giving the WHY behind certain functions. Keep up the great work

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure!

[@jake.creates]

Hey man I just started learning music production and watch a lot of tutorials. You've got a knack for communicating and information design in your teaching. Thank you!

[@sclitchmusic]

I feel like I'm watching daft punk create da funk

[@bvrbvs]

That vocal trick was what i needed! I spent so much time dealing with vocoders , and it's too complex. A tutorial on how they use the vocoder would be great

[@BeatAcademy]

Check my channel I have videos that cover it sep by step

[@drmichaelopare8245]

And to think almost all this was done with stock plug-ins Great video man- big love

[@lucy7574]

Great tutorial!! Just one thing -- it would be helpful if you pointed us to where you're getting non-standard sounds/instruments!

[@monkeyssj1]

Youre the man... one of the best demos i've ever seen. thank you so much.

[@BeatAcademy]

Wow, thanks!

[@GuyGamer1]

For the Da Funk lead, with the way the Analog instrument works you get a better filter resonance sound by raising the Filter Drive inside Analog to a higher value (yours is on Sym1, I suggest Sym3) than slapping an overdrive on at the end.

[@BeatAcademy]

Great point. yes the. filter drive plays a big part in the sound. Thanks for watching. ;)

I cant "like" this video enough! You are so amazing

[@BeatAcademy]

Thank you so much 😀

[@alexogtheosub9046]

Miss you Daft Punk

[@MTO_KT]

Hey man, awesome video. Great variety of areas touched on during the tutorial! :D

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you liked it!

[@michaelhncronhoun2277]

Very interesting and clear, the Human After All digital bass put a smile on my face :)

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ceciliaperez1069]

AHHHH THIS IS MY DREAM TUTORIAL THANK U SO MUCH

[@BeatAcademy]

Happy to help!

[@oratania]

Great video! I imagine how much fun guys from Daft Punk had producing their songs. Incredible!

[@BeatAcademy]

Couldn't agree more!

[@JesusIsRealJ1247]

I would love to know if you could do a "The Diogenes Club" sound breakdown. They deserve a real mention and imitation. Thank you for this Daft Punk breakdown!

[@BeatAcademy]

I'll check it out!

[@JesusIsRealJ1247]

@@BeatAcademy Any verdict on tDC? I'd still love to see something done in imitation on what you can tell their process is. Many thanks!

[@Lu14355]

I'm just amazed by the complexity of some parameters like in the analog synth 🤯 Thanks so much for this video, it's really interesting and super close to the original !

[@MoeThermodynamics]

This is so great! Thank you!

[@alberian8934]

This is the best learning way altough u can add something with ur self guys

[@elissitdesign]

I believe the lead was done with an Korg MS-20. I’m able to get it pretty darn close if not exact. Nice to see it done in Ableton. I don’t remember it having such a wide chorus. Be careful of copyright strikes... the YT algorithm can get tripped up if it’s too close 🙃

[@iraklismoschonas5214]

I've read somewhere that the synth parts in the whole "Homework" album were done with a Minimoog, so possibly it was not an MS-20.

[@milhouse777]

Man, you f*cking nailed! thank you very much. 13:00 I always was curious for life on how to make that bass kinda vocal and I never figured out that was a reso filter with bitcrusher, mind blowing

[@djsweatysac1842]

Thanks for the tutorial and the simple track lib run through.

[@TexusNoe365247]

For those who want to know what the name of the song is... "Digital Love-Daft Punk"

[@mikeyjeanson]

another classic

[@scannjer]

Man you are a legend :) Thank you so much! Exactly what I was looking for...

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad I could help!

[@RohitKulkarni88]

This is pure gold!

[@zurajegnaradze2312]

Love your tutorials. Thanks so much !

[@dmccoyny]

Excellent sounding (old school) loop you started with. Where did it come from? Or can you point me to a good place to get vintage loops?

[@BenvolioZF]

Bounce, Rock, Skate, Roll by Vaughan Mason and Crew (1979) The first few bars of old disco records (if they weren't burnt in a fire in Chicago) are a great place to find real crunchy drum samples. People really like to use Italo Disco to sample too.

[@BeatAcademy]

Totally agree with Todd here

[@sebgoutttt4165]

How do you group your audio effect? ("drive and color" etc..) This is smth i really need! Thank you so much for the video it is so generous from you

[@alzepop]

Great video, you are a good teacher. Looking forward to see your courses!

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks so much!

[@matiasneil]

the king of stock plugins

[@evenda]

I think I'll do a daft punk type beat as a tribute, this tuto will help me

[@unclemick-synths]

Great tutorial. Trying to figure out how to do that analogue synth trick in hardware - distortion ahead of the filter.

[@aldomendez2211]

Fantastic! Would love to see how to produce Kali Uchis :)

[@uncertainpleasure916]

That auto tune tool is just amazing. Another great video

[@atheermakani2140]

Dude you are seriously amazing and blow me away every time you make these videos. Thank you so much! Never stop doing these!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad you like them! Thanks for the feedback

[@xuamox]

What a fantastic tutorial! Straight to the point, direct, and so educational! Thank you

[@timothyglenn6449]

Yes, I've been hoping you would do some daft punk. Thank you!

[@BeatAcademy]

No problem!

[@Jimmywitdasource]

[@ShawneX0007]

[@lahwfsk167]

i really enjoyed this tuto well done bro

[@bitbe6152]

Awesome! Thank you for this one, I love your tutorial and Daft Punk 🙂

[@SiliconPrairie]

12:14 Daft Punk actually uses a DigiTech Bass Synth Wah pedal for this. No DAW needed :)

[@Tenaxis]

Still, it's much more convenient to have a solution in software, accessible through almost any decent synthesizer. The pedal is still really cool, though.

[@princemaxwhoobayangbon1516]

Great production tips; thanks!!

[@djdahous]

Great work. Love these Daft Punk sounds!

[@eriksharar986]

I’m very new to this type of production and you made it very understandable. Thank you!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@MissMysteryC]

Definatly trying this tomorrow :D thanks for explaining!

[@nathanksimpson]

This is awesome. So much fun to watch.

[@MartinPNairn]

"Sounds like poop but, It'll work" I nearly spit all the wine lol

[@fromma4019]

Thank you for sharing! Great channel 🥇

[@AkshayKheveriaiitr]

Amazing!! Thanks for the video. I was searching for the exact vocal production. Couldn't find it anywhere!! I use Logic Pro, though this helped me a lot!! Thanks

[@marcelocrispim8560]

Wow, got so many great insights from this video! Thank you so much ;)

[@alexchaidez9258]

This is great!! I’m definitely going to try this! Thing is I only have ableton live 11 intro, any alternatives to eq8? I’ll see if vital vst can do what analog can do...

[@GoodxJ]

You liking Ableton 11 ill! ???

[@BeatAcademy]

Yesssir!

[@federicobreno1839]

Thanks Ill! Really need this for a track i'm producing this days! Btw i would love to record my voice for it, but i don't sing. Do you really need to know some percs about it or just by ear?

[@ashertheaudiophile1917]

Yo

[@svefngenglar1]

What a great tutorial! You said the original drum loop is a break. It doesn't sound like a live break, the snare/clap sounds synthetic. Did you sample their original drum loop for this? Just curious how one would go about getting the very unique snare /clap in that loop

[@DillonPink]

ill Factor you legend. Thank you

[@alexjennings3165]

Can’t wait til I get off work so I can watch this and follow along. Thanks illfactor!

[@RandomFlops]

Same man!!

[@mateosaavedra5364]

Amazing, thank you! Do a How to produce like All Against Logic/Nicolas Jaar pleaseee, that will be so cool. Congrats!

[@picas256]

20:25 got me laughing a lot

[@golddee2040]

but that plug in he used to fixed it was pretty cool

[@philippebedroom4665]

Thank you so much. I wanted this instantly

[@peorysounds]

I was looking forward to this, Thank you!!

Thank you so much. This was inspiring as always, I'm making my own DP style song now :)

[@BeatAcademy]

Wonderful!

[@omnix1408]
