The fact that you're not using Logic and I still understand everything perfectly mean you're doing something right

[@Ftsio]

On god! I use logic, i have none of these but tbh I try to understand the concept. He’s actually good at describing it

[@sharegan6822]

yeah but also you have to understand that cubase is more user friendly and organised so its easier to grab stuff!

[@cjoth]

same, Logic user right here and I still understand everything perfectly

[@sharegan6822]

@@cjoth but still cubase is far better lol.

[@sharegan6822]

@@cjoth you cannot even transpose a sample properly in logic whats the point of bringing it in comparison ? its still outdated even with 10.7. they need to bring in so much stuff in order to compete.

[@JansleyMusic]

Dude, I can't even describe how talented you are. You literally make 100% viable commercial radio ready songs. It's mind-blowing that top 40 artists aren't pounding your door down to work with you (or maybe they are 😃)

MAke Pop Music is the best channel on youtube wtf 🔥

[@savingspainmedia]

Thanks so much for this. Love the idea of rendering the track so you can save CPU, save time automating, and chop it up.

[@KordTaylor]

Great video! Love the Auto-Tune formant tricks. Also you could use Antares’ Warm saturation and Duo doubler plug-ins for those parts of the puzzle (and yeah I work at Antares 🤪)

[@adityapushkar2684]

Great video 👍👏👏

[@dawgblanky4818]

great video! btw I want to make that dark mood bass like you have in this video but I'm struggling😂can you make a video about it? It would be grateful if you made one

[@MakePopMusic]

We have a video on our Instagram showing how to make bass sounds like this!

[@mipiaceiltubo]

I've got a request (if possible): could you please make a song that sounds like Royal Blood like you did for The Weeknd etc? They're just Drum, Bass and Vocals so should be pretty easy for you!

[@AlbertoDelacruz92]

I'm curious why sidechain it to a ghost kick instead of the actual kick?

[@MakePopMusic]

If you don’t want a kick in the arrangement, but you still want something to duck, you can just use a kick routed to nothing so you still get to side chain without having the actual kick.

[@ellabrand4370]

you're the best!! i'd love if you created a Charli XCX type of song

[@monstie2795]

I’m in fl studio, can I still use those plug-ins?

[@MakePopMusic]

Yep!

[@JT-qc2nb]

I'd like to know how to create those atmospheric sounds that fill up the background space.

[@MakePopMusic]

Just like what we do with this vocal. Take sounds, throw on a ton of reverb and delay, filter them out, add some width and saturation, and add in some movement with sjidechaining or cutting them :D

[@floundso7012]

@@MakePopMusic it's always the weirdest sounds that end up sounding the best haha

[@Undruben]

Make something for clean pop vocal like lauv

[@DavidRocano]

Your ad for the video, shows " this is what it sounded like " " Real vocals ".. and this is what we made it to " Synth effects - no vocals ".. not sure if that was your point, or a oops.

[@MakePopMusic]

We don’t control the pre roll ads. Hahaha their ad company uses keywords to target ads

[@metroecco7908]

Please have a series where u make artist type music for example FOSTER THE PEOPLE IMAGINE DRAGONS CAGE THE ELEPHANT TENETY ONE PILOT TAME IMPALA I got more suggestions if u want lol

[@pbhai4996]

Guess the daw😎

[@shhupakk]

even Ukrainian producers study your courses

[@whoisPURGE]

wth absolutely no vocal chopping was happening here...

[@MakePopMusic]

I stated in the video this one wouldn't be "chopping" the vocal, but would still be in the style of a "chopped vocal", and I said that we have videos we have already done about how to actually go and chop up a vocal in the more traditional fashion. This is more about how you can process a vocal, or vocal chop, to be more interesting :D

[@whoisPURGE]

@@MakePopMusic yeah i saw other video. i think title made it seem like it wasn't gonna be just about processing. i'm too edm.
