[@filiprangus5826]

I would definitely love to see the finishing a demo song

[@THmusic420]

Yeees

[@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

@@MakePopMusic 🤣 damm well merry Christmas

[@jessealexanderhamilton8667]

Or “it’ll be alright” lol

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

[@joshtackett]

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

[@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!

[@RachaelAlexander]

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

[@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

[@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!

[@brum3h]

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

[@yan1232]

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

[@matthewfranklin8285]

Unbelievable! Next level fluency!

[@stefanaasheim]

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

[@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!

[@gusty17]

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

[@ianboyexpress]

do this againn!!! love watching you cook

[@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 !

[@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!

[@billlanagan2320]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@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

[@floridastreethockey]

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

[@marklarm]

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

[@FedoraRose]

Love this blanks style series! Amazing video!

[@Joydria]

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

[@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

[@ralfkohler831]

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

[@josephfatai]

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

[@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!

[@OriginalRaveParty]

Crazy for an hour. Nice one

[@MusicMastaJones]

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

[@ThomasPenninger]

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

[@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

[@michaelgormleymusic]

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

[@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!

[@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.

[@dianat.6426]

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

[@cryptokingz615]

This sounds like an ARIZONA banger. Nice work Austin!

[@MateoZanuttin]

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

[@RatedBamaTV]

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

[@humanizer12345]

Finish the song! It sounds awesome already.

[@arijitduttaofficial]

Amazing! Really would like to know the treatments you did to the vocal in so short time ❤

[@MakePopMusic]

Literally just what I showed. Tuned it and threw on my normal sends and some EQ and compression with VMR 😂

[@w-gabriel]

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

[@thejackrhythm]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@ldandco]

Just impressive. You are beyond talented

[@sanachabeats]

Best song ever!! Please finish the song🙏🏼

[@OfficialDarrenJay]

Pretty dang impressive bro

[@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 :)

[@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.

[@RyanSoanesMusic]

Bro is a pop music genius tbf

[@Jasmine-cn4wc]

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

[@MarcChaperon]

This is so cool ! I wanna see more

[@shy_gaze]

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

[@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!

love it. thanks!

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

Well done bro 🎉

[@DaniloDANILOa]

THIS IS SO GOOD WE NEED 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! 🤘🏻

[@gyanlobaba231]

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

[@BrownestHarry]

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

[@RJEnriquez]

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

[@YuvProd]

where can i download the template? you had a video about a template but the link was removed

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

[@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

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

bro this guy is very underated and good

Hands up 🙌 need more videos like this

[@sven6999]

insanely good!!

[@the95s]

The expired autotune license had us rolling... lol

[@MakePopMusic]

I just needed to refresh my Antares central 😂 this was my first project of the morning and I guess it was the day of my license renewing lolol

[@floris7552]

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

[@matt6288joyce]

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

[@matheusempixels]

Amazing!

[@Turtletunes2]

Lovely song! ❤

[@TripzudemG]

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

[@sovndscvpe]

Sooo good!!!

[@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

[@nabilbouhouli7996]

Amazin !!

[@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！

[@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.

[@prodjxnas]

the resutls sound crazy for one hour!

[@ThunderRecords694]

U are good at what u do

[@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

[@jackdarren1784]

That sound greats Austin 🙂

Finish it brother 😍👍🏻🙏🏻

[@rlflame1871]

what mix do you use?

[@JDMac-id2ow]

Absolutely amazing and what I needed!!! Open to doing this again for pop punk? 🤘

[@MakePopMusic]

For sureee!

@@MakePopMusic 😝 LFG!

[@bradmbishop]

Hey man , what loop packs are you using in this video? Im looking for percussion like you used and also some symbol rolls that crescendo, cheers

[@MakePopMusic]

Perc loops were from Sweet Tooth, tambourines and shakers were from our Tambo and Shaker pack! All of our stuff is 25% off this week too so definitely go check it out! If you want cymbal rolls and swells, check out our cymbals pack too!

[@bradmbishop]

@@MakePopMusic awesome, thanks

[@SchorbJxP]

These vox cut through soo clean. Which mic and preamp did you use in this Video?

[@MakePopMusic]

Lauten LS208 straight in to my interface!

[@SchorbJxP]

@@MakePopMusic thanks! I have the Audient ur22 and lauten 320, but tbh it feels like miles away from your sound quality in terms of clarity etc..!

[@MakePopMusic]

Oh the 320 is amazing. I've cut some of my favorite vocal recordings on that mic. Could be other factors!
