this is free master class man i swear

[@caresseofficial6741]

A complete steaalllll, thankyou so much man !

[@ethancheng1595]

This really blows my mind. You did all this without touching an acoustic, electric, or even an electronic instrument and it sounds very organic. You are just a dude sitting in front of a desk clicking little bars. Truly inspiring.

[@AlexAnder-ri8ns]

That's what bothers me about musical purists. Those kind of people who say "oh you make all your music just using your PC without any instruments? Pff yeah that doesn't take talent at all, go pick up guitar/bass/drums/etc or you ain't no musician" or so. I think this guy proves that it just takes as much knowledge to produce music on a software as it does on a physical instrument.

[@randoH3000]

@@AlexAnder-ri8ns I agree, not to mention Kevin Parker himself uses Ableton and produces everything within it himself! Sometimes he'll track some instruments, but sometimes he'll just use VSTs.

[@johnniearc]

​@@AlexAnder-ri8ns replicating in software, and creating the music itself are two separate things. Software only results in good emulation, but not great creation.

[@johnniearc]

​@@randoH3000 Kevin Parker ALWAYS uses a physical instrument on everything he does, don't get it twisted.

[@randoH3000]

@@johnniearc That’s not true at all. He used the Roland JV-1010 on currents a lot which is a synth module. There is no physical keyboard that comes with it brother.

[@Kuk_24]

So cool, nobody never recreates Tame Impala beacause of the complexity of his production and sound desing, thank you so much :)

[@JeanFrinlaloy]

I thought the sound design was actually pretty simple in this. Most of the video was about mixing

[@Kuk_24]

@@JeanFrinlaloy yeah maybe in this one is not that complex but in general the tame impala sound is very unique

[@triggerbuilder]

That's not a big deal.

[@cherrybumman541]

J Navarro in terms of mixing its pretty hard

[@cherrybumman541]

J Navarro i should clarify mostly the drums

[@doblaire]

I don’t tend to take the time to comment, but props to you, dude. The concise nature of your videos makes them so streamlined while also engaging and informative. I love what you do.

[@BeatAcademy]

I appreciate that!

[@WorselRummage]

The reproduction of this is not only incredible, it's having the listening skills to hear what is going on, to then know how to reproduce this so faithfully, well done, subscribed!

[@BeatAcademy]

My pleasure. Glad it was helpful

[@mayito3334]

that drum loop flip was absolutely insane, cannot believe this is free

[@francescotognacci543]

At the beginning I thought it was the real voice track of Kevin Parker. You're incredible, man. Superb work as always!

[@BeatAcademy]

Thanks. This was a tricky one but glad it came together to serve you Guys

[@caresseofficial6741]

I want to understand how to recreate some of the Kid A production !

[@jcole3614]

wow. the way you can analyze this guy who's probably strictly analog and recreate it is mind blowing. beautiful job-

[@BeatAcademy]

Have to admit this was a tricky one

[@GuyGamer1]

Tame Impala is DEFINITELY not strictly analog. He uses analog synths and guitars. But he records everything into Ableton and does the mixing and effects in it.

[@automaticwriting4345]

@@BeatAcademy i'm sure a lot of people would love to see more Tame Impala. Currents has a lot of great tracks with some pretty complex hi-fi production. Hopefully we can get The Less I Know The Better or Let It Happen! Appreciate you man, I like a lot of others is going through a tough time right now and this has really helped. Hope you're staying safe!

[@p333nt4gr4m]

wow. the way you reply to comments of people with absolutely no knowledge of what they're talking about it's mind blowing. beautiful job.

[@nevereven_real]

Literally the most insightful tutorials on the platform. 🐐🐐🐐

[@lalalovenickie]

Kevin's brain just amazes me. How he comes up with his sounds blows my mind. It's so unique. I really enjoyed watching this. Thanks!

[@izzydavid42]

The way the vocals were crafted was so genius

[@robertoruiz649]

By far one of the best production youtube channels i have found. Thx for this content!

[@saltlake1955]

Dude, in a sea of crappy tutorials by people who only learned to make music a month ago and who just regurgitate other ideas they saw elsewhere, your channel really stands alone with the way it's presented and the quality of information. Thank you!

[@AlliVera]

THANK YOU! These videos are life savers. I really appreciate you taking the time to make them and for being such a good explainer, I never feel lost & im always learning something new, bless you 💜

[@tidianesimpson]

You’re literally amazing. Thank you. I’m binging all your videos.

[@lukasroman3641]

Wow, this is spot on dude 🙂 its also worth to mention that there are 2 basses in this song - guitar and sub bass which can be heard in chorus and pre chorus.

[@Manishdas]

this is the most awaited tutorial!

[@ceephaxx]

With a program as complex as Live it's essential to absorb a typical workflow process to get going and this tutorial conveys that really well.

[@ntartienii]

What a beauty! Super tutorial of this amazing tune

[@MG-vq4yx]

The amount of knowledge that you possess is super inspiring!

[@bjrnbrynemo9059]

This was insane. I love Tame Impala as an inspiration. I don't have a band, and things seems to get done faster if I just do them myself.

[@SidewalkTrip]

Bjørn Brynemo i feel that on a spiritual level lol

[@andresmunchgallardo1383]

this made me instantly subscribe. i’m relatively new to producing and seeing how you reproduce one of my favorite musicians music is so inspiring!!

[@oddtherapy8919]

I'm absolutely astonished by how easy you make all of this seem. Thank you for this great tutorial !

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@tucker2251]

I liked this tutorial. I've used ableton for 8 years and videos on youtube like this are the only reason I know how to use ableton today. I still learn from videos like this and they still give me ideas to try, in this video it gave me some really good ideas for drums. Good video, although for a beginners I suggest that you focus a little bit more on why you are doing certain things. For some things it is obvious because they can hear it, like a filter on a synth. But for other things, like why you are using a dynamic eq on specific frequencies of the vocal, it would really help beginners with an untrained ear if you explained a bit more why you are making those changes.

[@Walls21]

wow man, thank you. One 30 minute video led to so much learning in so many areas!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@djyellawave1113]

just signed up for my first month of beat academy!! excited for the growth that is coming my way! going to be a great year

[@BeatAcademy]

I need it is. Great job and excited for ya!

[@LimasBeats]

your content always opens my mind on something, thanks for what u are doing for free

[@mayito3334]

Absolutely crazy that this content is free thanks bro!!

[@mattdemers8852]

Love that used Addictive Drums for this, so hard to find any tutorials that utilize it. Really dig what you did with routing outputs, then utilizing the sample and quantizing to triplets. Learned a lot about getting organic drums to sound better in the mix. A video on utilizing some of the more advanced functions in AD would be great too, I've never been able to find a good one.

[@talinkathare327]

You are a true blessing bro im learning so much thank you and please don't stop posting these vids

[@BeatAcademy]

I appreciate that

[@tommacavoy116]

Hey I just wanted to say thank you. I am going through a lot right know and these videos mean a lot. Please keep it up

[@BeatAcademy]

Sorry about the rough patch you are going through right now. Be encouraged you can get through this just take it one day at a time. Today’s trouble are sufficient for today. Happy to be of service and help you move along

[@youlittlesaget]

This might be the most helpful music production video that I’ve come across in years. Great job!

[@BeatAcademy]

Glad it was helpful!

[@80mbeats]

this is by far the most accurate Tame Impala remake, it really feels like Kevin's drums

[@US3Rofficial]

Really excellent work here

[@KentHenry8]

Recreating those drums was exceptional work. Wow.

[@BeatAcademy]

Much appreciated!

[@STOKES_SOCIAL]

Dude, you’re an amazing teacher! The quality of your channel is so high! Thank you for everything.

[@eluherlu]

[@BeatAcademy]

[@dj_sergiov]

Very cool video. Some of Kevin Parker's genius was exposed here. Keep up the god work.

[@Nick6661992]

Man, you nailed it!

[@arunkrishnan6375]

U are a true guru..thank you sir..blesssed to watch this

[@felixa5095]

pls do some of fka twigs, her music is so well produced, i'd like to see you recreating a song of hers:^)

[@TheRoniDogan]

Julian earle's done that. Beat academy is pop oriented

[@versatilKJZ]

one word - Arca -

[@GaruBeats]

especially the ones produced by Sonny Moore

[@corican]

Another ill Factor video where everything seems simple enough, but yet somehow widely beyond my capabilities. Love it!

[@monomono]

this dude is truly a beast.

[@ayushshukla731]

[@Drakotar]

These videos are fantastic for a beginner. Thank you so much!

[@Essenjul]

So cool! Sounds really good and really close!

[@chrisgolon1164]

Thanks!

[@kebab_boi]

Honestly, it's so easy to screw up a tame Impala recreation/cover but holy shit. It sounds just like the real deal. This is definitely my favorite Tame Impala tutorial

[@stillhaze]

[@BeatAcademy]

I appreciate that!

[@TheMrzapson]

[@kthadonmusic]

A whole lotta gold in here. I think it's time for me to finally get RC-20, I don't think I've seen a tutorial without it in months.

[@remychadwick2467]

Amazing rendition - loved your work on the drums and vocals especially

[@leodari915]

This is awesome! I would love to see something by Jungle as well, as I always found their songs well produced, really funky, beautiful sounds etc. Plus Jungle is just great

[@zaamwe]

If you find anything let me know pls I love their sound too

[@dm2779]

you nailed the vocals! great video

[@jpod16]

Unbelievable. Sounds VERY close to the original. Thanks for sharing this.

[@crüthtv]

wow this is actually amazing

[@jechii79]

I’ve learned so much on this video. A lot of things just clicked. I can’t thank you enough!

[@Thorskateing]

YO it sounds like you understood it all. My pad, the wavetable thing dosent sound like his. Could you possibly know why? it sound like a normal pad

[@davidhartley94]

Cool!

[@The_RedVIII]

This is amazing. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make a how to produce Radiohead video. Especially a Kid A like sound. The dry vocals and clean audio, hearing everything in the production. I need to see it done. Morning Bell would be great pick. The ending to Present Tense would also be great to explore. When the real drums kick in.

[@avantgardefilms2503]

RedVIII Yes pls!

[@herecomespeter]

omg PLEASE!! these videos are so so so good btw thank youu

[@alexj3007]

Wow. Pretty freaking spot on. Subbed!

[@pedromunizdecintra7666]

[@BeatAcademy]
