How to Make A Song Like Charlie Puth (How to Make A Pop Song From Scratch) | Make Pop Music

[@nikanon]

I've been really looking forward to see a video like this from you. I liked Charlie Puth's new album too and I wanted to try to make my own song kinda inspired by his two tracks "Charlie be quiet" and "I don't think I like her". Thanks to you, Austin, now I know how to start.☺

[@BeccaRaptor94]

PLEASE DO THE STYLE OF “VOICE NOTES” !!!

[@sergiosierramusic]

HI MEN… I AM A COLOMBIAN PRODUCER… AND I LOVE ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!! YOU’RE AMAZING PRODUCER, KEEP DOING THIS VIDEOS AND THKS FOR SHARE YOUR IDEAS AND CREATIVITY🔥🔥🔥💯👽

[@Vrainy]

LOOOOL I LOVE THE INTRO! You make production so easy to look at and try out! Thanks for another banger tutorial Austin!

[@Symeon-Shawn]

The intro was amazing , thank you for all the great content Ideas and the great community !!! A Reminder to all , You Are Nice Keep Going! XD

[@issawen659]

I’m dying for you to do a how to make experimental pop (Charli xcx, Arca, Bree Runway)!! Especially with how well Unholy by Sam Smith did, the genre is definitely growing.

[@reki_3746]

Hey Austin pretty accurate result, love it so much, as a producer I think people would really enjoy looking you tracking the guitars on the video or standing up and playing with those beautiful synths u have on the background, also looking at you recording the vocals and harmonies, kind of Blanks or charlie TikToks, congrats :)

[@MakePopMusic]

We’ve thought about it but we prefer to be more educational and dissect the productions a little more on this channel

[@cekirdekci32]

this is insane🤣Austin you are way too good at your craft. look at this song. it is a banger. better than the ones I hear on the radio you know.

[@vintagemastersprod.6448]

Broo, you read my mind 🔥🙌🏾🙌🏾 You're content's lit🔥🔥

[@polrogi]

Thanks to you, you inspired me to be an artist, so thank you!

[@alice_lacerda]

I hope one day I'll be as good as you. Seriously I am your BIG FAN.

[@arwoot452]

Your guitar midi sounds pretty natural. It's awesome. How did you make them? looking forward to receiving your tutorial. I love you so much. I appreciate the stuff.

[@MakePopMusic]

It's just from Session Guitarist so they're basically live tracked loops that play when you hold a button.

[@mikezaraguitar]

These videos have been a god-send! I hope in the future you could add a Country style track (Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, etc) to this series!

[@MichaeLance]

Always the man for some good inspiration. Thanks for keeping it real, Austin

[@vipulvishwas4960]

Love Charlie song Thanks for this 🥰🥰 Intro was great 🤣🤣

[@Fyuesiy]

Coming at this more as a musician Charlies been such a great role model as a stepping stone into production for me since he doesnt process things as much as someone like Ian Kirkpatrick or other producers

[@impolitikful]

He autotunes pretty hard

[@Fyuesiy]

@@impolitikful that is one thing I dislike too. I prefer a slight out of tune human vocal to auto tuned personally but that’s def not the modern sound

[@LonelyStarOfficial]

​@@impolitikfulNot everytime

[@cekirdekci32]

i wish you made a video for this song: Cross me / Edd Sheran. especially the drums of that song is soo good. they sound modern and unique

[@colingreen123]

Please please tell me you plan on releasing this!!

[@nxnelives]

I wanna see you do a collab video with BLANKS

[@MercyDEVILL]

Hii thank you for making grateful content for help us to make learn music production 😊 thank you

[@tinchu9919]

Bro this demo song is a hit 🔥 just upload it ❤

[@impolitikful]

This is awesome. Do you have any videos on how you mix and master something like this?

[@Lusket.s]

Austin, what if you try making a kpop beat bro? (like stray kids, ateez) | It would be amazing watching your own view of those beats!

[@Mixbyab]

Would be dope if you made the unmixed multitrack for this record available for a practice mix!!!!❤

[@ksaintartwork6577]

It is incredible!

[@NoProblemoStudio]

1 second into the video n i've already laughing so hard😆 The song is 🔥 as always. 2 videos in a week tho, nice😮👍

[@cekirdekci32]

you make freaking great music btw.

[@sridhaark7555]

Hey Austin where did you grab the spirit plugin i just surfed around the Web there is no plugin which has the interface you had or the plugin had any updates.The intro was 🔥🔥

[@MakePopMusic]

Cradle Audio has it. I'm looking at the page right now :D

[@ubervincent]

How does one go about learning the lingo in music production?

[@masonthomassax]

That intro though 😂😂😂

[@ALDVIR]

dude this charlie album is my guilty pleasure. I feel like its very modern Pop if that makes sense

[@AybaLee]

I admire your work!!! Booooooooooom

[@hosoryo]

Thanks for a nice video. I wanna watch the video about review of Auto Tune Pro X.

[@myliebiii]

Lately Ive been trying to improve my mix on vocals to stop using presets and stuff and its the amount of things to know is just terrifying. Tere is too much different ways and plugings that people use and I literally don;t know what to put my hands in. My vocals just don't sound as good and professional as I would like them to be. Maybe it's my mic or -more likely- I can't mix. I wish that there were perfect plugins and good to go presets that would solve all problems. but since perfect things don't exist, I'll probably have to keep looking for combinations of plugins and their settings so that I finally like my vocals..

[@alainpatry]

What's the reason you drop the hats in the sampler track (instead of just instrument or audio track)?

[@MakePopMusic]

I want them to be velocity and pitch responsive and the Sampler does that!

[@ryverjames4070]

How did you get the verse pluck guitar so tight with that tone ?…I’m using a fender strat as well but I can’t get achieve the sound.

[@MakePopMusic]

Edited out the noise note by note! and just been playing guitar for like 18 years.

[@LaurierLachance]

I’ve wanted a video just like this! Thank you 🙏 question: how much of this process would you consider mixing rather than production? In other words, if i’m producing but paying a mixing engineer, where should I draw the line to not waste time and money? (Of course, learning some basic mixing is incredibly useful for a producer. Just curious what you have to say about it.)

[@heehaww2933]

Can you do a tutorial maybe teaching noobs like me how to play guitar like that? Like how to play those saucy guitar plucks etc

[@blkrap]

Yo Austin, a producer said he was using one of your synth presets called “Wide and Sad Pad.” He didn’t mention which pack its from though. Do you know which sample pack this is part of?

[@MakePopMusic]

It’s actually a bass preset from a free pack we gave out yearssss ago. You can still find it in the All Urs download in the free section of our site! We also have a bunch of similar sounds in Poptopia and Spectrum!

[@vladislen]

Please make video how to produce Niall Horan music.

[@JoeyFTL]

How come you're doing mute automation on the fader instead of the events?

[@MakePopMusic]

Muting post FX and post returns from reverbs and such. I'd rather just mute automation on a whole bus rather than every single synth track individually. Just chopping the event wouldn't get rid of reverb and delay tale (unless it was printed but most of this was still MIDI or audio with FX on inserts)

[@JoeyFTL]

@@MakePopMusic that makes a lot of sense, thank you for answering!

[@javiersantiago5162]

more Charlie :)

[@looply_music]

Like it a lot

[@tsukkikei571]

21:40 when you de-ess your vocals too much😂😂 j4f

[@rishabhavvari1343]

how do you find headroom for these many stuff iin your mix

[@MakePopMusic]

Turn everything down and use levels. That and making sure everything has its space in the stereo field and the frequency spectrum. 😁

[@rishabhavvari1343]

@@MakePopMusic what's like the peak you get normally on ur mix and how loud do you master it too? sorryy i have so many doubts lol

[@rishabhavvari1343]

like when i master it to -9 lufs it doesn't seem loud like the stuff on spotify, and often my vocals are quieter in the master than in the mix

[@MakePopMusic]

@@rishabhavvari1343 Oh for pop I'm almost always at least -7.5 and sometimes even -6. Vocals get compressed when mastering so maybe just make them a hair louder while mixing. Also, it's not just LUFS. Loudness can be perceived so if your mix isn't sounding loud, try and get your low end tighter and get more mids and high mids in the mix (these make something feel full and loud and they don't demolish limiters like low end)

[@ALDVIR]

chords sound like "First time for everything"

[@MercyDEVILL]

Yess I'm 😍😍

[@pytowong6687]

The key of this style is the drums

[@kushalmusic]

Sir make a video (How to make a song like : A.R Rehman)

[@Varun_underyourspell16]

Aren’t these the chords of ‘There’s A First Time For Everything’

[@MakePopMusic]

They're the chords of like 80% of pop music so probably. Hahaha

[@reatd5686]

Make a illenium pop song

[@jeremiahtarrance1952]

100th time asking if i can use the beat form the video how to make a pop song from 3 years ago if yes just reply to this comment

[@matissejones]

What’s DOA???

[@MakePopMusic]

acronym for dead on arrival!

[@matissejones]

@@MakePopMusic Ahhhh rightttt

[@ismaelsalguero8353]

i think that the album CHARLIE has great production techniques, he takes them to the extreme, but the songs lack compositional depth, it seems to me that VOICENOTES is an unbeatable album in terms of songwriting.

[@MercyDEVILL]

But now my laptop not working properly i need new laptop 😔😔

[@MercyDEVILL]

My first comment maybe 🤔🤔
