This better than anything I could do in a month 😂 Very inspiring!

[@joshtackett]

DUUUDE one hour?! You are skilled at your craft my friend

[@filiprangus5826]

I would definitely love to see the finishing a demo song

[@THmusic420]

Yeees

[@tolgi3]

Great Job, Austin! I find it harder to bring a demo-type song to a fully finished Spotify/radio-ready version. It would be great to see your workflow on this. Thanks a lot for your time and effort!

[@MakePopMusic]

take a shot everytime i say "really really"

[@guitarloopstore23]

Can’t.. I’m already too drunk..

[@MakePopMusic]

there's drinking til you pass out, and then drinking until you pass away. I think you'd pass away from this one. lolol@@guitarloopstore23

[@guitarloopstore23]

@@MakePopMusic 🤣 damm well merry Christmas

[@jessealexanderhamilton8667]

Or “it’ll be alright” lol

[@MixReady]

I‘m 12 shots in… dear lord have mercy 😵‍💫🙌🏼

[@kaiquesfalsinoficial]

Ideas for videos: Finish songs and show us how you did it. Make a two hour challenge with ideas/style/rythm/mood already planned out so it doesnt feel so rushed and porbably you'd make better decisions on the production and show us. It will help me at least a ton!! Again, amazing work, keep it up!

[@benjaminwei7773]

Duuude HAHAHA. Gotta be honest, I skipped to the end part. I just heard you saying "Vocals are still pretty rough" I started listening and I was like shut uuuuup :D It's so good. Always motivates me to go back and open cubase after 10 hours of tracking stuff.

[@michaelgaudreau7017]

Would love to see this fleshed out as well as you do more 1-hour challenges! Really fun concept and it's always nice seeing people think and make decisions in real time (for me at least).

[@theworldsimulation6996]

Was about to say the same thing. I get the reasoning behind shorter videos but I think other producers looking to learn would find the entire process superr useful

[@stefanaasheim]

More of this please! I would really like a series done on this!

[@RachaelAlexander]

Austin you are so talented and skilled! Thanks for sharing your process!

[@gusty17]

WOWO Loved the song and the challenge, please do more. Really Inspiring

[@yan1232]

Sounds amazing man!! Would love to see how you complete the song!!

[@huberttorzewski]

Things I've learned after watching to this vid: - I live in a 2 or even 3 times slower world - I don't like robotic vocal sounds - I won't ever be able to produce this kind of music and mix so fast at the same time. Mind-blowing

[@floridastreethockey]

This insane!! Would love a finished video of this song!

[@TomdeVisser-h3x]

honestly these videos don't need editing imo, i wouldve loved to watch the entire hour

[@MakePopMusic]

We may offer the option to view the full one hour video for our course members in the future. KZbin algorithm would smother the video if it was a full hour

[@ralfkohler831]

Austin...this is insane! I can not believe you nailed this in one hour!❤❤❤

[@humanizer12345]

Finish the song! It sounds awesome already.

[@trollingisasport]

Damn. I love those snares! Reminds of that song from the 80s That's Just the Way it is by Bruce Hornsby.

[@MakePopMusic]

You can get them for 25% off until Monday if you want to grab any packs from our store! 😁

[@trollingisasport]

Haha. I was tempted to ask. Which pack is that?@@MakePopMusic

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Crazy for an hour. Nice one

[@billlanagan2320]

this came out awesome! didn’t expect to love this demo so much. would love to see this finished!

[@cryptokingz615]

This sounds like an ARIZONA banger. Nice work Austin!

[@marcelcomello620]

well you got my deepest respect. Im not there by a long shot! Thanks for sharing your process once more. it truly helps in understanding how to get ideas into tracks. Gonna have some fun this weekend trying stuff. Cheers pal, and have some great holidays

[@ColouredPaperShapes]

Nice exercise, awesome to see what you came up with and how to speed up decisions when making demos. Would be cool to see what you do with the song next to complete it!

[@MateoZanuttin]

Dude, the DRUMS! And everything else too, of course. Love it 🔥

[@orange6852]

I think this is alot better than a lot of production breakdown videos bc this shows your trains of thoughts as you go through the process. very good video !

[@FedoraRose]

Love this blanks style series! Amazing video!

[@MusicMastaJones]

Nice work man. :-) Definitely would love to see you finish it. Let’s get more one hour challenges as well!!

[@marklarm]

Finish Austin! Sounds on point so far! Nice job! Happy Holidays bro!

[@rovaniemipasta]

Haven't got to the end of the video yet, but this gives me some LANY vibes for sure! Sounds flipping awesome! - Now at the end of the video, yes I would love to watch a video of you finishing the song fully and releasing it if possible as this already sounds like it can be on the same Indie Pop perfection level as LANY.

[@josephfatai]

That is incredible skills on the fly. Would love to hear the whole song. Great stuff dude!

[@isaacdynys6518]

It really is all about sound selection. Once i got some actually decent vsts and sounds everything was better. These videos helped me realize that. Trying to turn sounds from ass to gas isnt worth it most times. Thanks for the content Austin

[@thomaskarlsson8614]

That's really good for being only one hour. Great job! One question; Do you ever start at the other and come up with the vocal melody first and then build everything around it?

[@MakePopMusic]

some times!

[@michaelgormleymusic]

I’d love to see more of these than a follow up of you polishing it. Great stuff as always 👍🏼

[@ldandco]

Just impressive. You are beyond talented

[@sebastianrothe]

Awesome series!! keep it up. its so nice to see actually the full process of creating.....and yes, show the full production part also ;=) THX!

[@brum3h]

Yes to both seeing you finish the song and to more of these

[@adriansympson]

love this!! it’s inspiring, motivating, and really shows off your skill. i think it’s a good reminder to not overthink shit so THANKS KING

[@Joydria]

this is amazing!! we were able to see just how gifted and skilled you are at your craft!

[@martyward427]

Loved this. Just an IDEA: Maybe do a quick hour overview of a top pop song, like, say, OneRepublic, the weekend, and flush out how they might be accomplishing creation and productions for their music and writing style. Thanks! Keep up the great work.

[@matthewfranklin8285]

Unbelievable! Next level fluency!

[@TerenceKearns]

That's pretty impressive my dude. Thats what thousands of hours of practice gets you. Well done.

[@RJEnriquez]

Finish it and also do more challenges. These are amazing.

[@JCAmusic]

the "hold music" when the video is being sped up really takes me away from your song, which makes it harder to see the song's evolution with each layer you added and made the video harder to watch. That being said, absolutely inspiring to see you work as always!!! Thanks for the amazing free content you offer us Austin!!

[@ksaintartwork6577]

Impressive man! I would love to see you finish this one off. Also I would love to see you do more videos like this one. Much love bruh!

[@GeorgeAmodei21]

Sounds really good! I can't even copy or do a COVER in in that short of time. I know it would be even better when you finish and take your time. I enjoied watching this! Please do more when you can. Thank You! George :)

[@RatedBamaTV]

The MPM Courses has helped me elevate my mix game!!! Worth every penny !!! Thank You Bro!!!

[@ianboyexpress]

do this againn!!! love watching you cook

[@katbert100]

Wow, great job, nailed it! 💪

[@petrieberries]

More please yes✨ this was fun!

[@w-gabriel]

awesome! the lyrics are so good and the vocals sound great for such a short time

[@gyanlobaba231]

yes complete this song and come up with more of this challenges

[@thejackrhythm]

sounds like something The 1975 would make. Good work bro :D

[@shy_gaze]

really liked the 1975 vibe, please make that video finishing this :)

[@cristianbordali]

The first person I see doing this challenge is Music by Blanks (actually, is not the same, because he doing remakes in 1 hour, and make music by what his instagram followers pick, but its kinda the same xD), so I will love to see a collab with you and him doing this! 🤘🏻

[@matt6288joyce]

Love this. It reminds of that 1975 song that goes “Give me one mooorrre night.”

[@dianat.6426]

insane! vocals sound awesome and so hit like . dont know how you do this in such a short time

[@Jasmine-cn4wc]

this is so dope!🔥please do more of this content!!💯

[@ZOGAPOGA]

More of these one hour challenges fs!

[@JulianFernandez]

love it. thanks!

[@Terrafraid]

Having been listening endlessly to Panic Divisions last album, I would love to see a video on that alt indie pop sound. Particularly in how he uses vocal chops as a pad like background/rhythmic percussion throughout his verses/choruses.

[@jamesdensleymusic92]

YOOOO AUSTIN!! THIS IS KILLER!! Also...what snare was that? And what pack? Absolute gold!

[@MakePopMusic]

Snare was from our Nashville pack! Its called Brit Vibes.

[@RyanSoanesMusic]

Bro is a pop music genius tbf

[@MarcChaperon]

This is so cool ! I wanna see more

[@MaciejLapinski]

Maaan, it sounded so so good, would be awesome if we could get the whole tutorial. Please do more videos with live tracked guitar, this pop-rocky style is definitely one of your best! (and my favourite 😅) Cheers, happy holidays!

[@sven6999]

insanely good!!

[@DEFAZIOJeremy]

Ahah ! Like this concept. Speed writing maybe?? :)

[@farhanhosseini3881]

Indie pop, synthwave styels are very awsome.

[@prodjxnas]

the resutls sound crazy for one hour!

[@sanachabeats]

Best song ever!! Please finish the song🙏🏼

[@floris7552]

This sounds like it’s straight out of the 1975s second album lol, great video!

Finish it brother 😍👍🏻🙏🏻

[@thomasreehjelm8862]

Amazing! I just want two things. One, your talent! And two, that 1975 preset for the Cory Wong amp.

[@MakePopMusic]

I'll make a reel for it on Instagram!

[@thomasreehjelm8862]

Awesome! Thanks!

[@BrownestHarry]

this was awesome what a king in this game uve got a new customer buddy

[@Turtletunes2]

Lovely song! ❤

Super impressive!!!!

[@matheusempixels]

Amazing!

[@UHRsprung]

Very cool, yes, please finish the Song and yes, please more 1h Videos 👍🙏

[@adammariucci]

You are the man, Austin. Would love to work with you on something in 2024. ❤🤘

[@Placebomusic951]

bro this guy is very underated and good

[@TripzudemG]

Need your Send Effects like reverb and all stuff as presets :D

[@ThomasPenninger]

Yoooo that was sick Pls more of the challenges as well as fleshing this song out, any plans for it yet? 🙊

[@sovndscvpe]

Sooo good!!!

[@IamSOawesome222]

Just shows me, a great preset for someone without your knowledge is so needed for quick workflow…instead of fine tuning production with an unstrong base

[@MakePopMusic]

Knowing your tools is the best way to crank out ideas fast as hell

[@Lucie_R2R-PinkBandit]

More one hour challenges please and pretty please finish the songggg

[@OfficialDarrenJay]

Pretty dang impressive bro

[@alainpatry]

That was great and would love to see the song finished! Question: your Autotune was offline but the last chorus sounded reaaaaalllly autotuned. Was that just VariAudio?

[@MakePopMusic]

VariAudio and I slapped MetaTune on it from Slate right before I played it back! I think it just got cut out. 99% of the tuning is variaudio though.

[@LoveinScarcity]

Sounds perfect already to me. I couldn’t touch this “rough” vocal on my best day lol. But I doubt you’d judge me so harshly. ))Sending self-kindness vibes(( Peace to you

[@visshhh_hu_mein]

Hands up 🙌 need more videos like this

[@larrys2065]

So impressed! Great lyrics on this one.

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks! Actually a true story about the first Christmas my wife and I spent together. We both cried when we listened back to the finished version lolol

[@ChristianAdams-b7k]

Austin, do you track your vocals with or without autotune? Do you have a monitor & tracking chain vs your actual vocal chain? Thanks!

[@MakePopMusic]

Without! I monitor and track without then just throw it on

[@ChristianAdams-b7k]

@@MakePopMusic Awesome. I appreciate you!

[@Sun-z9k6g]

Would love a finished video of this song！

[@jackdarren1784]

That sound greats Austin 🙂

[@ThunderRecords694]

U are good at what u do

[@Blueberrystop]

Cool!

[@johnathankaner4365]

Great vid. on the latency topic, is there a low latency button that will allow you to record with no latency? In logic, you can switch this button on, and the track you have selected for recording and input monitoring will turn off all plug-ins that cause latency and allow you to hear it in real time there must be some kind of similar feature in Cubase.

[@MakePopMusic]

There is but it gets wonky with screen capping. Hahaha

[@andoniarrigorriaga2985]

Always great!

[@SimonGM5]

it would take me months to make a song of that level working 8 hours everyday

[@DuctTapePromDressBand]

Video idea: you take things you learned from a bunch of these videos, and show the viewers how to fully produce a song. Would be glad to volunteer a track of ours!
