Charli, AG, and George need a podcast of their own. I love them. Vibes are good.

[@ErosWhite]

This is college to me

[@koychet]

this teaches you more about producing in 5 minutes then college does in 4 years

[@dehazesings]

All anyone ever needs is real world examples

[@cmooreHD]

I wanna hear how everything romantic was done. This and romantic are STILL on repeat!

[@dylantheevillain]

Everything is romantic was produced by El Guincho so they can’t really talk about it

[@user-rr3sh3ef3f]

The way ive been waiting for my entire life to see ag break down something hes produced and i will now be mapping my reverb to an lfo on every single synth i ever make bc thats all he said LMFAO

[@matt_r_w]

The way that patch was just a detuned saw wave, I'm like actually gobsmacked

[@atomsplitter601]

right??? like it's driving me crazy

[@j_c_r]

The filter does it haha

[@valentinovigovv]

yeah it's pretty basic synthesis, the thing is to know how to execute it in a song

[@MarinaAndTheDevil]

They could unpack my session any day

[@undon3]

unpack FOOT for us pls

[@antoniog2854]

darn...we almost, ALMOST got the main bass sound breakdown towards the end...ugh.

[@ChadSkittles]

The wubwub bass is a tweaked version of the BA Digimods preset in Serum.

[@Mariooo57]

Listen to the audio version of the podcast, it's the full thing instead of the drip feed of video snippets they're sharing on KZbin

[@LDR4Lyfe]

I was excited for tgat part lmao

[@yohjinonoki]

@@LDR4Lyfe SAME like the end of the song where only that synth dominates is so cunty naa

[@slacebo7306]

I love session breakdowns SO much!!!!!!

[@Robbie-tl5iw]

when I see videos like these, it makes me super annoyed at myself that I've wasted the last ten years not learning music.. DAMN... this looks so cool.

[@EczemaQueen]

Love these clips

[@mschirmersf]

They look like they’re struggling from the night before. lol. Love BRAT

[@allieoco]

I love these three together

[@Theonlyorchid]

Geniuses at the work.

[@itstonycia]

I wanna dance to GEORGE. oh that’s her fiancé

[@artphetamines]

Release the full video!!!

[@PANDAMONEYUMM]

shoutout to OTT on the master channel 🙌

[@littlehelix]

Very interesting

[@AlexMoudgil]

looking at OTT on the master is fascinating af

[@TylerLethersin]

5:19 that was an intro for a remix!!! I’m telling you it would be iconic tho

[@ivymashups2544]

please consider getting the producer rick nowels on the podcast hes a great musician and did amazing work with lana del rey!!

[@drmiguel3299]

I was waiting to see a video of AG’s production on Logic.

[@vinylarchaeologist]

If you're here to shout "RELEASE THE WHOLE EPISODE", perhaps take a tiny second to read the description. The answer's in there.

[@minimoto99]

That's not very Brat though....

[@chris-matthews]

It’s very brat wym

[@sadoklajmi]

Yeah we know, the whole thing is an ad... isn't that annoying ?

[@carll.1405]

@@sadoklajminot only is the whole thing an ad, but there are ads for the recording app inside the ad, so it’s an ad in an ad

[@artphetamines]

Release the full video!!!

[@sonny8924]

Yas

[@misterme436]

Y’all don’t comment about posting the full thing or else they’ll stop posting these clips for us!!😭😭

[@kitanaiBL]

Nah I rather they post the full thing

[@misterme436]

[@Carrythe2]

FUCK that Pulsar thing is so nasty. LOVE IT

BALTIMORE MENTIONED!!!!

[@hasunkhan]

This officially has 360 likes EVERYONE STOP

[@camscorch7096]

Can anyone help me understand how the reverb detune is having such a big effect on the sound? My attempts at recreating have not been able to get it. I can't help but wonder about that super vhs plugin affecting that synths detune too

[@HexZero]

7:38 HAHAHAHA HOLY SHIT

[@tigersteffi]

Keeping the varispeed option is a dub

[@SnazzyBoxx]

A.G. at least has got something useful to say. “Rich” “Posh” kick 💀

[@iharley1538]

Love this album but could totally get behind the instrumental’s alone

[@TheCaptainblaubeere]

does anyone know what song this chord progression reminds me of , it feels so familiar i just cant grasp what exactly it reminds me of! especially at around 0:40 in the song when the filter opens up. theres some song with what feels like that exact chord progression and similar synth sound but i cant remember what it was HELP

[@SgtSmugleaf]

my nuts

[@omarcianocordobes9579]

let him Cook

[@20thingsgoing62]

I love internet

[@jayrey93]

3rd!

[@dl9179]

5:10 @Laneige must book Charli! She genuinely loves your lip balm! 👄

[@Amangiechsin]

i swear to god i thought that Acid bass was a Sicko Mode sample

[@SgtSmugleaf]

Ooooooh wow, nice hyperpop kick loop with 30 channels of synth automation that could have been achieved with just 4-5 channels, sooooo original and impressive

[@MichelSebastian8]

57 channels is crazy

[@SgtSmugleaf]

@@MichelSebastian8 if you're a beginner then yeah lol

[@isaacmaze7897]

i really wish they played the out of tune version

[@San-d9j]

Why does a.g have a valley girl accent lmao

[@MusicKnowte]

George doesn't give me the vibe he respects Alex's contribution

[@SnazzyBoxx]

seems cocky with nothing useful to say unlike Alex who is actually talking about production

[@yohjinonoki]

so true idk why charli actually hangs out with sm jerks ik that is her fiance but bro yk

[@funnyonlineuploads]

least parasocial charli fan

[@oceancat0450]

They look wreckedddd 🤣 which makes for better music.

[@cellphonesex]

george explaining things is like pulling teeth
