I think this Song was named "Don't Start Now" because Ian's Projects never loaded and he couldn't start.

Don't be fooled by Ian's funny & clumsy behavior - He makes it looks simple which is pretty cool but this is the TOP level of the industry. it doesn't get any better. Ian & his team knows exactly what are they doing. Song is a MONSTER HIT Thanks for sharing all these Ian's streams. It's a goldmine for a producer like me 🙏🏼

Interesting to see this after I did my own recreation/breakdown video of Don't Start Now on my channel a few months ago. Nice to know I got a few things right.

[@ktech4246]

Damn I love the bass on this track, can't believe its NI MM Scarbass + sine wave. Anyone can tell if its the amped version? To me it sounds like the standard bass.

[@quincypurifoy696]

Just the DI version. Amped is a wet signal library. I would think most producers want it dry and then they add their own effects after MIDI input

[@AydarItkulov]

This guy needs the "PC for dummies" book:)

[@elliotcastroooo]

cubase is cool. But too many issues with 3rd party vst. Reaper is a pain to learn and doesn't look as cool, but it simply is rock solid. Protools also seems rock solid. Cubase is so annoying lol I thought it just gave me shit ... lol - I really enjoyed this video :) great video though :)

[@ChrisCatton]

Hey Ian Awesome breakdown - absolutely killer production. What kind of bass did you use in the verses? Sounds similar to an electric bass guitar, but without the harsh attack sound.

[@musicproductionstreams8021]

Have you watched throughout the video? Ian has showed it in the video: He uses two layers for the bass: Scarbee bass and a sine bass.

[@SPsounds100]

I just wonder what fx he added to the bass

Mr. Kirkpatrick for the disco or 'Don't Start Now' song style, what drum (Kick , Snare , Clap ) sample pack should I use and what bass guitar VST would you recommend? Thank you

[@musicproductionstreams8021]

You can go to Splice to download Oliver's Disco Samples. They should be as good as the song. In terms of the Bass, in this song Ian Kirkpatrick uses two layers: Scarbee Bass and a sine bass. Hope you're doing well!

[@iga3272]

[@Eric.Abraham]

Nice video. I have a question. I'm very new to producing and mixing music. Right now I'm using my PC with no audio interface because I don’t need to record anything. I use StudioOne with ASIO driver. So my question is, Is it ok to mix with ASIO or I need a audio interface? Is there any sound quality difference? I mean If I use an audio interface, then my mixing will sound better than "direct pc to headphone output" quality?

[@claudiopalana]

Yes but it depends also on which headphones you use. With an Audio Interface, you surely have a better pre-amp for your headphones and the possibility to connect a pair of studio monitor (that, for me, it's better for mixing, with headphones you can't have a true stereo image and in modern productions it's not a good thing). But I said that depends also on the headphones' impedance. For a standard 32ohm a better pre-amp it's pretty much useless, because you will stay at the lower level and too much volume can destroy tour ear and your headphones, with a 64+ohm then a Better pre-amp will give you enough volume and get a much linear response to all frequencies. Alternatively you can buy a little pre-amp with the USB Interface.

[@OhmyIris]

Hey man’ it’s been 11months but still you shouldn’t even be thinking about mixing much except for Eqing compressing and panning, it’s a horrible habit to pickup early, focusing too much on the minutiae of mixing will only hurt the producing part. Even Ian don’t do much mixing, he leaves it to Josh, his bus and master chains are minimal at best. Good production beats all, taste is primordial, leave the mixing to mixers or vice versa the production to producers if you want to be a mixing engineer.

[@nicholasmarch3286]

in a way, yes... if you use a quality interface you will hear the audio in higher resolution and in greater detail... which helps with making better mixing decisions... but it wont make your mixing any better... you still need to be a good mixer.. you can find cheap and decent interfaces these days i think if you want to seriously start producing or mixing you should at least save up and get a budget interface to start with like a focusrite
