Bro if that's your song, you have made it imo. That is a sick performance, plus mixing and mastering yourself to this quality is rare. Yooo!! Inspiration at its finest! God bless, and thanks for the good content.

[@vaibhavsingh9560]

Hey! Greetings from India, your videos have helped me a lot.

[@RpgRiser1]

Thank you so much for this video, especially for the vocal part. I write metal music, not pop, but there are some good stuff here that I could apply to my own workflow. How did you learn to sing btw? You have a really nice voice.

[@MakePopMusic]

Thank you so much! I actually started in metal! Honestly, just sang a shit ton over the years. no lessons or anything like that. I really appreciate it though!

[@RpgRiser1]

@@MakePopMusic Damn really? That's cool to hear! Do you think the vocal tips that you use, and maybe production in general, could be applied to metal music? Also, I'm curious as to what made you shift from metal to pop music.

[@SaeOfficial_Music]

Hiraeth he answered it in one of his QA's later on. Pop is broader, the melodies, harmonies, catchiness, etc...he can switch from pop to dark rnb, etc...

[@LeiB]

keep going with this videos constantly, i im sure that u re going for the millon of suscribers. you are good bro. saludos desde argentina

[@kamizhi]

You are the real deal!!!!!!

[@primecutstudio]

Awesome video! I’d love to see you work up a bass sound in Ana2 like Carly Rae Jepsen’s “No Drug Like Me”

[@whyseproductions2043]

Are you using any pre- compression before applying the 1167 and distressor?

[@snolli123]

wow. just have to comment here :P dude. you are just awsome :) had to get the slate bundle. and wow. my vocal chain is fire now :) im interested to see an in dept tutorial about mixing and how to get perfect mixing in any enviroment.(kitchen,bathroom,outside,airplane and so on) is there any go to(abby road vst?) ehh. anyway. thanks for taking your time to learn us so much useful content :) keep up the awsome work you do :)

[@remichoro2776]

amazing sound

[@dennou2012]

What do you think of Nectar 3?

[@SoundReserveStudio]

That tape stop is sooo dope, that was literally the only thing I missed about using protools was Vari-fi haha

[@medusa_lives]

Hi friend! I absolutely love your videos, instant fan. I had a question about lead vocals - do you usually keep them mono, with the stereo imaging being created by the reverbs/delays, or do you use a widening tool as well? Thanks!! :]

[@MakePopMusic]

Hey! Thank you so much! I keep my main vocal mono and process with stereo sends. And I will stack extra takes and harmonies and pan those out!

[@medusa_lives]

@@MakePopMusic Thanks for the quick reply!! I feel lucky being able to get a reply from someone who I know will be famous one day. Your music is incredible, as is your voice. Cheers friend!!

[@elisolna]

wOw man great sound!!

[@jlnsvfx]

Thanks - great tutorial! Drop the preset - I would like a copy of it.

[@jorgepenaranda6944]

Great! 😃

[@Cwadroon]

Dope! Just an FYI, cubase has had a plugin called loopmash fx for free in every pro release since about version 7. It has pretty sick tape stops and much more

[@_ConnorEdwardsMusic]

Just got Slate AAP! Please do an Ana tutorial video!

[@Firetracks]

Why did you add the FG-Stress on a separate VMR instead of the same instance?

[@austinhullmusic]

Because I wanted to do some Eqing outside of VMR before I went into stress 😁

[@Firetracks]

Ok kool

[@olegloza]

That bass is soooo cool! Now I have to get the bundle just to have this bass! :)

[@FreeDooMusic]

You can make that bass in pretty much every synth. I don't know of one which can't. But get the bundle anyway. That synth looks promising.

[@olegloza]

@@FreeDooMusic really? I am new to the pop music production and I only have the Cubase Elements at the moment with their Prologue. I get confused when fiddling with settings and have now idea, how to create this kind of sound on my own, but I need this one for the song I am producing at the moment. Thanks for the comment, I'll try to play with the Prologue settings first then.

[@FreeDooMusic]

@@olegloza Since slate offers plenty of videos on this stuff you might as well go along with it using the same plugins as it will be easier for you to catch on when using the same stuff used in the videos.

[@olegloza]

@@FreeDooMusic that's true. Thank you very much for the comments!

[@mr.c_visions5127]

What are your autotune pro settings

[@JamesStMichael]

Hey bro, I know you used to use the Shure sm7b. When you did you use the Cloudlifter or did you just run the Mic into the Apollo and use the Pre Amp in there? Really would appreciate any advice you have as im looking to get the Shure SM7B or Shell out an extra $600 for the $1000 VMS.

[@MakePopMusic]

Hey! I actually just run my SM7B straight into my apollo!

[@JamesStMichael]

@@MakePopMusic Thanks bro! I Really appreciate the info!

[@cheynekohl]

Yo, toss that preset up bro! I have a dedicated plugin for this bass style but damn, this has waaaaay more control.

[@LeoDuckMusic]

Hey Austin! I'm a producer too, and already listened to your song: 100 ways, Pretty great man! Loved it! Also wanted to ask you... What camera do you used for recording this video? I'll appreciate it if you could tell me! Good content here man! Have a good one!

[@MakePopMusic]

Thanks so much for the support!! I use a Panasonic G7 (:

[@johnclover1946]

Man! Your tutorial is so damn practical! I fucking love it! I gonna check out you guys course product on your website.

[@JamesStMichael]

Hey Austin what were your four settings for the autotune pro? It had a real nice balance!

[@JamesStMichael]

Like retune speed etc...

[@MakePopMusic]

I normally have retune speed around 18-20!

[@BelieverStarcraft]

You promise you aren’t processing those vocals through any sort of hardware before you do post production?

What is the name of the program you are using to make pop music and is free or No?

[@JamesStMichael]

Have you released this song yet Austin? It sounds dope!

[@MakePopMusic]

Yep! It’s called Remedy!

[@JamesStMichael]

@@MakePopMusic THAT SHIT IS FIRE!!!!!!! What mic did you use for that and just out of curiousity, what mic did you use when recording the vocals for the band in your Pop Rock Bring me the Horizon Tutorial??!?!?!

[@MakePopMusic]

@@JamesStMichael I used the JZ Bh-2 for the vocals in Remedy and the vocals on NIghtbreakers' tracks!

[@Bonzvy]

The one big problem i got with this are the endless possibility. you got soo much tools for 15 bucks that i cant even decide which one i should/want to use on my next mix. especially if you already invested in third party plugs. its the same as with cracked plugins. i had a bunch of cracked ones and guess what? i dont used them cause i didnt know how to use those properly. more possibility leads to a higher chance of less creativity.

[@trollingisasport]

Totally know this feeling

[@heyimdalton1]

Excellent video as always! What’s the track/ artist?!

[@MakePopMusic]

It's me! It's a new song I am working on! I am releasing a new track on Friday with a music video, and then this one will come after that!
