I don’t understand how anyone can dislike this. Having access to this level of production education is beyond priceless. Thanks for posting! This blew my mind...

[@SolStateMusic]

Thank you! I'm also very grateful the best producers in the world are willing to share their knowledge!

[@BENINIMUSIC]

I thought the same thing bro!!! There is more here to pick at than 99 percent of the shit out there! Real gold!

[@TerryMaplePoco]

ditto, thank you soooooo much. so concise and on point

[@jimmythebold589]

5400 likes versus 24 dislikes is a huge ratio.... this is a great song. Dua's whole album "Future Nostalgia" is just perfect, not a weak song...

[@MrFree-vj8qj]

It wasnt insightful at all, just a bunch of I did this I did that, plenty of those everywhere. Teaching is a separate art to creating and this aint it. 3/10

[@1pelillos1]

[@SolStateMusic]

Hey! If he wants to give world-class advice, I should probably help share it...

Props to the person that edited this video btw. It's TRUE love right there 😹

[@SolStateMusic]

Thank. I think Ian's love for LFOTool might be more unbreakable.

[@LennonJCihak]

Ian Kirkpatrick is one of the best producers out there. Yes, because he's talented, but also because he's so forward with his information. Thank you, Sol State and Ian.

[@x2beaches]

This was unbelievable. A huuuuuuuge amount of deep knowledge from not only a successful producer, but someone having SO MUCH FUN! So infectious and so creative! Thank you Sol State and thank you Ian Kirkpatrick!

[@snaekboi]

Man that tempo change was genius

[@davidquintero1890]

Wow, so refreshing to find a producer that isn't consumed by their own ego lol Ian sounds so chill, knowledgeable and fun!

[@JulianGnocchi]

I love Ian's streams but I also love the way you manage to "condense" it. There are really no excuses to inhale this insane knowledge and tips now - Thank you so much!

[@SolStateMusic]

Thanks Julian, hope your using the tips :)

[@Sound-Lord]

One of the best thing about Ian Kirkpatrick is that he's not only the king of songwriting/producing, but also the king of sharing. And this is shocking great! thanks!!!!!

[@samcansoundlike]

this guy's attitude/skills + solid pop songwriting will forever hit

[@lu.smoove]

Already loved the song but damn, Ian really broke down the LAYERS to this track! Thanks for the evergreen content Sol State. We appreciate you ❤️

[@SolStateMusic]

Thanks Loux! Appreciate it

[@benkestokmusic]

really makes you appreciate the song more knowing all the cool stuff behind it 🙏

[@larrynguyen85]

The taste level of the production for this song is just impeccable. One of the best of 2020, hands down.

[@ShowtimeShah]

I truly enjoyed this! "not all gaps need to be filled" lol

[@SolStateMusic]

Thanks! Are we talking "in production or real life?"

[@ShowtimeShah]

@@SolStateMusic the fact that you got me thinking about this now, oh lord we are going to become friends.

[@AndrewKolotyliuk]

@@levondarratt787 "plat" is Platinum, like hits that are created by Ian Kirkpatrick that are certified Platinum and Gold all around the world. And I wouldn't consider him a newb since he's been working at this since 2005 and was good enough to write, produce, and mix for Disney and their label since 2008 and since then has worked with almost every major label and several a-list artists. This is all from one quick Google search so if you gonna insult somebody, it's better if it's actually true.

[@levondarratt787]

@@AndrewKolotyliuk damn...plat aka certified platinum... and Disney... and didn't even know his name.

[@chriscuthbertson]

As a bass player I really appreciate the swing in this song... This is one of my favorite songs to play.

[@TheDubroots]

this is hands down one of my favorite bass lines to play and the drum swing is what makes it. So glad to have found this

[@Kaotonix]

man when @ian kirkpatrick talks about how the subconscious will notice, that is such a gem. I went back and worked on a bunch of my tracks and added things that seem almost inaudible (which I stopped doing a long time ago since I thought it didn't make a difference) and wow it makes SUCH a difference. The feeling of progression vs a song feel a bit stale , truly grateful for this video, the editing and Ian's knowledge

[@DavidDiMuzio]

So much great info and tips in this video. Thank you!

[@knkyofficial]

12:02 this is such a beautiful moment, just hearing it in a story gives me chills, i cant imagine witnessing that.

[@TheDeviceHD]

That is truly amazing, pretty please is one of my favorite songs from dua lipa and I would've never thought that a video like this would come out. Ian's working with big stars like dua lipa and he still seems to be very down to earth, working with him must be really enjoyable and fun! :D

[@claudio6032]

so much creativity in one track is unbelievable!!!! This is Art at the highest Level!

[@TheChiversBeatCompany]

Edits are getting better n better Sol State! Congrats and keep going bro 💪🏼⚜

[@SolStateMusic]

Thanks! What's the #1 thing you like about newer edits? I'm always trying to understand this and improve...

[@kallelaakso130]

The tempo edit is such a small thing but does biig things. Creates such a subtle but yet, in the context, a LOT of suspense before the energy is again released in the chorus. So great!

[@MARCERA]

what is great about these videos is how it doesn't feel like a chore watching. It does not feel like a tutorial video (which feels exhausting to find the right one and watch), but I am learning a lot more than from tutorials. Just a simple straight forward and streamlined analysis of an existing project with insight on the creative flow. experientially rich.

[@buenmin799]

The moment I heard this song for the first time I absolutely fell in love with how it was arranged produced. I LOVED the idea of slowing down before the chorus.absolutely brilliant. Thanks for this video. That was soooo fricking interesting

[@danielporter4194]

Ian's videos are always killer. Deff one of my new favorite producers.

[@gerardomoran2923]

[@SuperKherlen]

I was obsessed with this song ever since FN came out! Thank you Ian for the magic!!! Also thanks Sol State for uploading this video 💖

[@SolStateMusic]

Thanks :)

[@josh.graham]

Such a great look into a fantastically restrained groove. dope song. dope production. lots going on under the bonnet, but feels so simple and catchy.

[@vooveks]

3:50 Good point about the bouncing down and committing. Obviously it needs to be decent, but yeah. You get this kind of rough feel that you can then treat like a sample you got somewhere else, if you know what I mean. Good thing to do, but takes confidence.

[@alphaoscillator]

the coolest guy ever in producing! such a good and EASY vibe from this dude.

[@SolStateMusic]

Yeah, he's super chill! Probably one of the reasons artists like working with him

[@claudio6032]

Awesome Track Man!!! I fell in Love with this Song emediatly! I noticed the great Production right away! So satisfying when I hear a Track so creative and well done! Its perfect!

[@esteexiste]

I had to stop the video to say: Found this song in the middle of the lockdown in mexico searching music for DJ sets we had to do for the restaurante i was working for (It was closed, big corporation, 35 units total), and said, ok, i'm an electronic and metal head and i love this pop song, it's amazingly produced. Showed this to all my friends and all agreed, some puristic musicians, that is a great great great production. Glad to find there's an instrumental version so i can play guitar on top of it. And more amazed that i can see how you made this sound like this. Thank's 4 the sharing, lot's of love man!

[@shrineofbeats6447]

I love that Ian realises the power of OTT ,and what it actually does! First expansion,then compression over the top! Also, LFO tool is getting forgotten these days, while it actually has everything you need! Time control, volume,filters

[@knkyofficial]

9:59 they use this in one of the blessed Madonna remixes and thats so cool to know its you Ian!! SICK!!

[@JonathanLamontagne]

I used to listen to this on speaker in my living room, and one day waiting in the car for my girlfriend getting groceries, I listened to the entire album and noticed all the frigging details. It's an incredible journey

Wicked video, Ian is hilarious too. Thanks Sol Sate!

[@NikolausBrocke]

Great. It's also about the things you don't play. Leave room for groove and vibe. And it's about not hard quantizing every note. Let fight the different timings with each other. That gives the special tension and goove.
