Hi, I'm Seth, I've been Songwriting & Producing music for the past 10 years. I've worked with many artists in bringing their creative ideas into the real world. I've worked on projects for Warner Music Group and three songs I've written (and two I've produced) have made it onto Spotify-Curated Playlists (Love Pop, OPM Workday Marathon, & New Music Friday Philippines, Cozy Christmas Pop). I say all this only because I want you to know that the music you've worked your ass off to create is in the hands of someone who knows what they're doing. Music Production is one of the easiest things to screw up and I've seen countless song ideas (amazing ones) ruined by lackluster production. I'm here to make you sound good. That's it.

Thank you for this !

Man, I'm subscribing your channel for a very long time and never realized you have video about Modern Worship & CCM! Awesome video pls do more of these 😁🔥

[@ProduceGuitarPop]

Yeah this was from a while back when I was expereimenting. Honestly I feel like a lot of worship songs still follow this production style of mainly piano first, then vocals and drums (guitars and synths filling out the mid range)

[@maciejapinski3479]

@@ProduceGuitarPop yep true! But it would be awesome if we see from you more of these, for example maybe in little different style like other popular worship / CCM bands. Keep up the good work! 🤝

Great video. Get a Hammond organ plug in and adjust the draw bars to taste

[@ProduceGuitarPop]

Hammond is a whole different beast

[@finesseanaems2795]

This is amazing. I love the drums. What I do is add a little crowd cheer or live hall/room record underneath it gives it more live feel.

[@mikecole4489]

Dude this really helps me thank you

[@ProduceGuitarPop]

Absolutely dude!

[@christianwameh]

Right on tiiiiiiiiiime❤

[@dizzyparkermusic]

Just in time 🙌 I’m working on a new song right now and I need to get some of that beautiful ethereal synth and pulsing drum feel.

[@ProduceGuitarPop]

That’s awesome dude! Hope it works out well for you! Also I don’t know if you saw it but I actually DM’d you on IG !

[@jonathanfernandez2991]

Man this video is incredible! How do you get that pad like sound from the keys? Is there a pad you were using or was it the mix of reverb keys ad guitar creating that atmosphere?

[@ProduceGuitarPop]

REVERB, the default raum verb sound is very octave verb like so i just bring down the decay and use the filters

[@jonathanfernandez2991]

@@ProduceGuitarPop that’s awesome is that rever on the whole track or just the keys?

[@Mysticspro]

Please can you name the particular type of piano and other instrument you use. ?

[@BarelyTryingStudio]

[@ProduceGuitarPop]
