MAKE AMAZING DEMOS FAST

[@CaughtInTheLoop]

Wow! These vocals are incredible

[@periseanbaltimore4064]

This was phenomenal!!!! So simplistic it's like why didn't I think of this before, definitely will be using this going forward, thanks illfactor and thanks Graham appreciate yall

[@arklave]

Wow what a great demo and all it cost me was time! Thanks for the info, I often struggle with fleshing a song out after having an initial idea.

[@preachersd2r609]

Love this! Simplicity of detail is impeccable! Great video ♥️

[@SjaakShirly6559]

This is not only a good tutorial, the song is fantastic!

[@thelightmonkey1970]

Graham's looking a little ill these days. Hope he's okay.

[@TopherChris]

That's not a big factor

[@shaynes.9773]

This is totally a different workflow and way to create than I am used to. I am trying grasp this way of song development. ill, you move so fast, I have to keep pausing the video to let each of your recording steps sink in...lol. I come from a traditional rock band background, so all these loops and samples are a different planet to the way I learned to develop songs. I do want get good at this way of song creation, but it is taking time for getting my head around the technology. The transition of a guitarist getting together with a band hashing songs out in a rehearsal space to just myself and a computer... it is such a different approach for me to grasp. Maybe I should just make an album with you...lol. You do all the computer stuff.... lol

[@50CalBeats]

Funny you mentioned this, as I started my music on the computer with no prior knowledge about making music and I've gotten to a point where I would like to approach things from more of a "horizontal" approach as opposed to this vertical approach (which I've been doing for over 6 years by now). The problem with this vertical approach is that it's fairly easy to become complacent with your initial content, in this case whatever he's written for his hook. Once you start laying it out, your brain might start thinking the song is already done and that nothing needs to be added, so any additions or edits may not come naturally.

Happy New Year guys!! Great video!! LOVE the EP!! ♥️♥️ Crystal

[@Timolucas]

what software was used?

[@pendleeldnep]

3:30 "until something really speaks to me" and might have already sold millions - yes I do "see through it" - imagine dragons

[@leisureguitar]

What a catchy song (it will be)! When this will be released?

[@northernlyrics7918]

This guys amazing thanks bro . I’m self taught at my music , but I’ve been working on my mixing which has been a challenge lol but after 12 months I’ve got to a stage to where I’m now releasing :) few originals on my KZbin channel and cover songs . I’m mastering the vocals now I’m just working out the piano when eq , in.... thanks mate for the great tips ....

[@robertshamansky1912]

It’s always interesting to watch someone create 😄

[@ericlanglais]

Very informative! I felt like a newb watching a production Jedi Master. Clearly comfortable with the DAW! :-)

[@andrewmyers59]

Great video thank you. Just listening to the Good Life on Spotify - superb

[@zoeee00]

Great video! Would love to see how those vocals were recorded and layered

[@jasonsully135]

Hi! Are you guys going to drop a video on marketing/promoting this year? :)

[@57RickH]

Great tutorial and song, thanks for sharing this 👍🏻 If I may make a suggestion on the song itself, I think a section where the tempo speeds up and really rocks out would work great somewhere near the end. The arrangement as is sounds like it’s begging to cut loose ala Foo Fighters😎 🎸🎸

[@margaretomeara3681]

thank you i found very use full

[@haroldspewak5546]

Thanks for a great videoI never saw any videos of Ableton in action and I can see what people rave aboutWished you would have included a bridge section because I would have been curious of how you create a totally different section-what inspires you,

[@czeital]

Is this in the arrangement course that you guys did once?

[@serloinz]

imagine calling yourself something in the 90s and it doesn't really translate to the present but you persist with it because of the body of work attached to it ;p

[@atashbeats8055]

You gotta set of pipe on you. Excellent.

[@MattLeFaitMusic]

Wow! Super duper!

[@glowingstarmediaproduction9970]

Do you have a demo making service?

[@merowsProductions]

Hey, can u please update the iphone app?

[@clubbedtobreathe]

Sail by AWOLNATION would be a great reference track for this

[@serloinz]

it basically IS that song ;p

[@caliemm2159]

Writing great songs, with melody is one thing. When you're only a melody creator, vocalist, lyric writer. Doing demos is impossible when you haven't any instrument expertise.you only hear melody, licks in your head. Programs with instruments are too overwhelming. What's an easier way?

Really sounds like Imagine Dragons !

[@HenkJanDrums]

Thanks

[@SimonePuga]

Hello - Thank you for making all these videos, I have a question, any idea how would I do this?. Basically I play guitar and sing also and I have been making covers recording in the Samsung Note 10, the video quality has been great. However the audio sucks, what are my options to make the audio quality better? I want to be able to make the same video but get a better audio quality for the singing and also better audio quality for the guitar by plugging in the guitar also - Any idea? Any idea would be much appreciated, BTW here is the link to my youtube channel - kzbin.info - Thank you.

[@Magicmedo]

Yeah I’m a non Grammy nominee producer and even I know you should include your count in bars into your track that’s the hook.

[@pete3816]

In summary... 1. Write and record a chorus/hook. 2. Write and record the rest of the song. Who knew?!

[@FreimannMusic2]

ill, is everything okay with Graham? Thank you for your videos! I'm a Beat Academy Pro subscriber, as well as Recording Revolution VIP. See you on 25th January on VIP call!

[@BeatAcademy]

Yea Graham is doing well, and everything is all good He asked if I would be down to host his channel for a month and I was more than happy to do so.

[@pawnotdaw4559]

This is good, but isn’t this just a chorus stripped down before and after the choruses? Wouldn’t a verse be a different progression?not that there has to be rules...

[@50CalBeats]

He actually mentioned something about that around the beginning of the structuring process, this isn't really the final cut, it's just the bare bones version that can be further edited as necessary.

[@hiswill4494]

Ta ta ta ta..tata ta...ta...taI over here writing one verses😆done inserted a double bass drum at the break...🤔why is it easier with other people?

[@PitchforkIncorporated]

Sounds like Imagine Dragons.

[@kiethveseyofficial]

We have found who has ghostwritten Imagine Dragons songs. Just kidding demos are much easier to just hear out what you did when you make the song officially.

[@dachreport]

Awol Nation 🤔

[@BeatAcademy]

Yea it has that vibe ;)

[@tdegneyegrass101251]

SORRY To me its just a load of over the top sound no dynamics

[@ukuleletom2810]

Having listened a second time I think it was very interesting
