Lessons of KSHMR: Making a Powerful Drop

[@RickyGuerreroZ]

KSHMR is the proof EDM isn't just random beats put together. This guy takes his art seriously and that's what makes him a real producer. 👌🏽👌🏽

[@MiloMcCarthyMusic]

Ricky Guerrero Z. Who doesn’t take it seriously

[@160end]

[@MiloMcCarthyMusic]

Chakraborty. B that makes literally no sense we are talking about music creators. What is your point? Are you saying that classical music composers don’t care about their craft?

[@monilinda26]

@@MiloMcCarthyMusic i meant all the people who listen to classical music (like my mom) thinks its just 1 drum, 1 lead, some chords and a bass, eith just random notes on a computer. they think its easy to make.

Tip #1 For A Powerful Drop: Put White Noise.

[@steveaustin6608]

sarcastic

[@tmlmusic8146]

No actual, this is real. White noice adds SO much to the drop. Trust me, Your listener's focus is shifted to the white noise, and you can do intresting thigs with that. Personally, I like to add a bit of white noise when my claps play, add a lot.

[@Zydepoint]

[@abay1423]

High impact?

[@IntrovertSinceBirth]

Yes, You are Right Thanks!

[@danke4987]

How creative is this guy? Really amazing how he creates all that motion with all those really creative little things, really useful Niels, it makes you think what amazing and creative things you can really do with a bunch of sounds and basic processing instead of trying to add innecesary complexity everywhere, thanks!

[@anuragshukla4447]

This was not only a helpful but also filled with Knowledge regarding music. I Really appreciate Thanks again KSHMR BHAI🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏❤🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@billdollarmovie140]

I learned more of how music production works in 10 minutes here, than I ever have in my whole lifetime before it. The narration is pin point articulate. 5 tera star tutorial,,,,,.

[@adityarajc]

Best Part : Keep things interesting

[@shantanusrivastava9744]

I remember how I had downloaded this video and used to watch it again and again on my TV 3 years ago when I was a beginner.

[@thesnowleopard66]

We need a mastering lesson by kshmr! That would be great!

[@SOKRVT]

It's better to keep the lessons more on the creative side, than technical. Either way, we can learn from him by observing his EQ moves, etc. I already learned a ton and improved dramatically by just observing his settings. It's more important to educate us on the creative side of things, like he did with melody, bassline and generally how to make an impact with your drop. He's too good on the arrangement that he needs little things on the mastering. Try his settings and just use a simple compressor on the master, with simple limiter.

[@thesnowleopard66]

SOKRVT I think I'm pretty good with melodies. I was very interested in learning his processing and plug in chains.

[@suhantrueboy1322]

SadkoEU any tracks u made is released

[@AndreAcilaOfficial]

mixing is when it is important. focus on mixing before mastering. a master cannot fix any problems! mastering only enhances and adds the final touch to the track. the mixing, eqing, and compression is important! i am into edm and i do mixing and mastering too. i have learned that good eq and good compression is key. i will give you one tip: try OTT compressor, it is really good

[@user-oo2gz9ln8v]

I don’t think he masters himself

[@ajfuego131]

I'm a hip-hop/R&B producer and some of the stuff you're showcasing could sit just as easily in other genres - thanks for the great ideas, looking forward to experimenting with these!

[@tubeo94]

This makes more sense the more you advance into the craft. I returned every once in a while and still learning.

it is

ashish menkal hahaa that's true..only DAW user know,how hard it is

[@foolishmusic9430]

lmao show us your music then, your shit better sound absolutely amazing since its so "easy"

[@Simon-um9ze]

Dude, bigroom is easy af compared to other subgenres of edm like dubstep. The sounddesign in bigroom is just no. You could get aways easily by just picking presets.

[@SsgtHolland]

Rosh Parmar Where can we hear this music you make?

[@daniel67797]

Really love the tips about reinforcing melody with rythym

[@musicbyvannexe]

What makes him special is that he focuses way way more on the actual arrangement of the song unlike some other producers , who only talk about what plugins they use and stuff...

[@gladJonas]

That was a good video

[@RiptideMusicOfficial]

I love how these tutorials aren't, "Here's how I made this sound, guys... k, bye." like a lot of tutorials, (and I have watched a very, very great many) but instead is like, "Here is how to convey this FEELING, and here is how I make this non-specific element work into my mix, and if you need some examples on how you could use this elsewhere, try X Y and Z," and it's really lovely to have that kind of insight. Tutorials done right, for certain!~

[@PinkBoardProducts]

This isn't anything like the music I make (psychedelic guitar-based pop rock) or even listen to but I like to look at how different artists across genres create and produce. KSHMR is seriously one of the better teachers I've come across, really clear and direct. This is pure gold for any EDM artists out there and gives me a lot more insight into the thought and theory behind this kind of music. Super chill dude, thanks for sharing!

[@bigmoomusic]

Gonna send this to the next person to ask me why my songs take so long to make

[@vynonyoutube1418]

Great tutorial! KSHMR is one of the best producers i've seen in EDM. Really creative.

[@vzm4663]

Agreed =)

[@animal5602]

the more I learn from lessons like this, the more I realize there's a certain sense of "psychology" implemented into music when speaking of the intent of one of the parts of a song. Brilliant.

[@TysonMusic]

I m using FL but the lesson of kshmr is the best way to learn....he is really great... he is my real teacher for producing class.. he is the best.

[@YourKingJust]

You have answered more questions than anyone has in less than 10 minutes. Half of these producers on KZbin cant explain shit..... THANK YOU!!!

[@WeazelBeatsOfficials]

I do believe that, if you're truly talented in EDM, this lesson just told you stuff you already knew, but didn't know how to put into words. And KSHMR did that perfectly :)

[@ImTwipZZy]

Woow, I'm impressed of KSHMR, he is explainin it all live, just look at the time! he doesnt need cuts!

[@ZERMELOmusic]

The people with the longest careers in the music industry learn how to do it on purpose - Savan Kotecha KSHMR shows this is true.

[@daniel_english4u]

Awesome to see a real master producer @work. A real inspiration for aspiring music producers. Well presented and very detailed. Keep doing what you have a huge passion 4 and in your case are very good @KSHMR

[@GabeMillerMusic]

Dang, I never would have thought to use that call and response layering trick. That's dope.

[@NygussMusic]

Many people say that the basic effects are weak ... use only external. KSHMR proves that is lie :)

[@generalq8933]

The Quality of your plugins has the lowest impact on the quality of your music.

[@arthar8435]

GeneralQ i disagree with this statement, neither i like that the focus is on the plugins. look at it like a tool with which you can craft something, depends on the skill of yours.

[@generalq8933]

Nikola Ristic I didn't say it has no impact. But it's not significant in contrast to the difference your composing,soundesign and mixing skills will make. In the hands of a good producer 99% of all people that listens to music won't be able to tell the difference between a 200$ plugin and a free one

[@michaelb.3482]

the workflow at a DAW is from Digital Audio to sounding Analog Audio by using EQ, Compression and Saturation. effect are working around that.
