I Transform a Song from Amateur to Pro in 5 Steps

[@HDPew]

These videos are gold, especially if (like me) you feel stuck in music production, thanks for the inspiration!

[@AlexRome]

of course!

[@007cambon]

@@AlexRomeis there only one version of serum ,,because I followed a video of yours today and even after the first step it sounded nothing like what you had …is it possible you had done a lot more behind the scenes before even starting the video? The video title was ,,,The only synth sound you will ever need ..

[@adamrozek5782]

​@@007cambonU can import wavetables

[@erutan108]

@@007cambon I was actually able to follow along that video and create very similar sounds using Alchemy instead of Serum... You just need to pay attention to the sounds he creates, and watch the video closely, don't pay attention only to what he suggests verbally. Like any good teacher I guess, Alex will not spoon-feed you, so you need to tweak and test the knobs to learn more about what sounds are created and how you can control them. I'm sure that with Serum you'll do a better job than my Alchemy trials, as it's the same synth and has the basic waveforms shown in the video ;)

Just wanted to say thank you Alex for all the hard work you put in to provide us with such great tips to improve our game! We may not be interested in the same genres of Electronic Music at all, but in the end it doesn't matter because I definitely still learnt quite a few things from you, the knowledge you provide is essential and a great startup point for any genre of music at all! Thank you for always sharing with such a positive vibe that is uniquely yours!

[@AlexRome]

of course! thank you so much for watching and for the kind words.

[@KloppeOfficial]

Great Tips!

[@Vynelox]

ALEX ROME PLEASE READ THIS you analyzed many top tier producers like deadmau5, avicii, porter robinson, etc please do tobu next not sure if you know him but he's like another deadmau5 with just as unique yet recognizable style.

[@cjacree3701]

Can you do a video on editing authentic or raspy voices. So many videos are about editing bad vocals.

[@FracturedParadigms]

Fart when someone hugs you, it makes them feel strong.

[@shuelahmed9392]

That's hilarious 😂😂😂😂 you must make your boyfriend laugh all the time

[@FracturedParadigms]

@@shuelahmed9392 yes ☝️🤓 yes I do

[@Andrew-rz7qt]

Teach me your ways master.

[@A-Z-U-R-E]

I’ll apply this to my music also

[@pixisk]

Others always fart when i hug them

[@pazt9911]

The original sounds like: you're number 7 in the queue, one of our customer experience representatives will be with you shortly.

[@KandidVision]

Here 1 min after upload! Excited to watch this one to the end!

[@heres_the_sauce]

10:20 what would that sound be classified as? Secondary high hat?

[@v10blogs95]

This had an early DeadMau5 vibe to it

[@braydensnyder6716]

Is there a good place to find a private teacher. I keep feeling like my creativity keeps hitting the technical knowledge wall Edit: I hear you talk about your students. Do you have a website I could sign up at?

[@adamrozek5782]

Watch KZbin vids on music theory and how expert producers produce

[@philipkauffman2500]

would love to see this video but with an actual project file

[@CBY404]

Is it possible to make professional tracks on smartphone daws such as FL studio mobile or cubase? Cause i know desktop daws are enriched by plugins and performance

[@donnithaballa1165]

Anything mobile I'm not familiar with but I highly doubt it has all the capabilities a full DAW, but with extreme skill who knows.

[@adamrozek5782]

Not professional for sure, unless u have premixed and pre mastered samples

[@Phonognomiks]

Maybe a matter of time - when I was young „Fruity Loops“ was also decry to be not „professional“ until people created Songs with it which went Platinum and became Movie Trailer! (Garrix / Avicii / …) And I never used the tool, as I am (Pro Tools/Cubase/Ableton/…) and I mainly also don’t listen to their music -> But you have to give them the respect they deserve, dead or alive … So mainly a matter of how you use it and what type of music you want to produce.

[@BaggyPop]

As an fl studio user, while the mobile version does not have all the features the desktop version has, it absolutely has enough to make professional tracks, and recording.

[@dylanpaulmusic]

Share the ableton skin😭🔥🔥🔥

[@maria-juliagomes]

CAN I test one song that i wrirte whit This sound?

[@sixthfloorview9859]

[@Luna_lalals05]

Hi Alex! I just wanted to circle back on the email I sent a few days ago about the partnership opportunity. I’m excited to connect and discuss it further!

[@FrankieTedesco]

Cool i do the same on my channel with members, but on mixing and mastering!

[@stefverheyen8547]

its a top kick i made that mistake a lot till a platina producer told me that is wrong kick

[@shabbadahutt358]

Any way you can transform your vocal packs into useable files?.. your vocal packs have clicks pops distortion and static noise i emailed about it after buying one but no reply its been almost a year now I get the impression you are just crooked

[@adamrozek5782]

In fl u can use edison to remove the white noise, or compress and use eqs etc. Stretch modes will remove the clicks and pops

[@Musician_Robert]

The song sounds familiar to me.

Bro puts out high quality educational content for absolutely free and you're out here complaining about videos taking too long to put out? That's so obnoxious brother. Be better.

[@adamrozek5782]

​@@OkMinMusicFor real. Making a decent track 3-4 minutes long takes me like 10-15 hours, if I were to record that and shit, while working on other things. It would suck ass to release weekly

[@OkMinMusic]

@@adamrozek5782 100% brother. Not to mention video editing etc. Your comment is refreshing.

[@Skid_Marks]

great video alex! i really loved the cinematic sound your student used in that set of chords.. also i know drums can be relatively easy if you know the different patterns. but i am curious to know how to incorporate more natural and organic sounds to fill the beat in. a good example of this would be SWIM - ford. remix , if you could make a tutorial for that id be forever thankful :)
