Bit late to the Solardo party, but at work every time a tune came on Spotify that I liked it was always Solardo! Really refreshing to know that it's all inspiration and a few tweaked presets. Like Old-Skool producers would use a certain piece of hardware for it's 'hard-wired' qualities and tweak that... If it works, it works. And their tracks definitely work!

[@nathanbell6962]

He's not technically minded but created an amazing hit, props to him and can show with a bit of dedication and time talent you can make it.

[@ComputerMusicMag]

Exactly! 👍

[@preiss0]

Creativity first. Technical second.

[@onset5881]

if you listen to their tracks they do have more technical knowledge than this guy presentation skills does justice for. sometimes you just suck at trying to explain things/presentation.

[@bender6942]

A creative mind > a technical mind. Although technical mind would have spent a lot of time mastering this

[@tomdavies6368]

A ghost producer helps too. Just saying....

[@keystonemusic5992]

love how almost everything is, I don't really know what I'm doing but it sounds good hahaha

[@jscottmusic7327]

wow.... FINALLY! Been dying to see how they go about their tracks

[@jscottmusic7327]

not technical at all which i love, but i was more so after their bass haha,a although some great tips about the kicks!

[@Lloydy0105]

Jscott Music I’m trying to take inspiration from their basslines and failing miserably.. Nobody makes a bass rumble like these guys haha

[@daniellievemaa1949]

not enough compression

[@chapmansworld1104]

Hell yeah!!! Uses Cubase and just goes off intuition. Props

[@topofthemornintoya]

Solardo tunes bang like pistols - there is another video online where he is talking about the hardware he uses, he has a nice bunch of analogue compressors and tape machines in his studio... I think he is keeping his secrets to himself :D

[@TonyChurch112]

Buddy, I don’t like your tone.

[@EscapeFromDaSystem]

Haha I like his honesty ... meh I don’t know all the technical shit

[@ceounicom]

wtf did they record the sound with his laptop mic

[@izabelaerotic7724]

laptop mics are good sometimes

[@BrandonIsTention]

nah man it’s a Lav on his shirt but he keeps turning his head away to look at the camera and away from the mic. so it’s shit

[@anthonygio9961]

Thanks for sharing n breaking it down Mark!

[@lewispouncey6840]

Christmas came early.

[@TonyChurch112]

I’m going to copy this but change the percussion.

[@mrfleamino9350]

Yes Cubase the mother of all DAW

[@egomaniac9147]

Oi. Solardo.. You know you're a gangster for creating this beat. I Love the drop and just sounds cool as f

[@TravelChimp]

wicked tutorial this. Nice one

[@FatalFriction]

I got pug eq too. I use it to add bark to my sounds.

[@milancole5712]

awesome! love them basslines

[@markmcmahon100]

thankyou so much

[@mrfleamino9350]

Nice one

[@supersquare]

Super interesting approaches to engineering!

[@sebastiansatin5488]

Wicked tutorial man!!!!!!!!

[@_neovek]

is it legal to record audio from a youtube video and use it to make money?? I would be worried about lawsuits

[@SanplerVarondaro]

Muy bueno

[@bejoo6930]

[@Pashsport]

[@welshaccenttutorials3104]

WAVS!!

[@markmcmahon100]

get latmun please

[@callumclarke4949]

Well can’t see the point as all the dynamics have already been done to it but same here great props as landed a banger early in his career so he should do well if it’s not a one off

[@maendmusic]

Please, help with the 2nd video! I didnt found a second video on the File Silo! And yes, i have an acces to 256 issue)) No video in the download folder!

[@Pashsport]

im soooo confused! if i buy the digital copy will the studio video be in the vault?! or do i have to buy the hard copy? can someone just tell me plz

[@ComputerMusicMag]

The link to watch the full video is in the magazine (print and digital): bit.ly/cm256

[@Pashsport]

Computer Music Magazine finally figured it out! Bought the hard copy then was impatient and bought the android version

[@ComputerMusicMag]

Yes, it is. We just tested it.

[@Pashsport]

Computer Music Magazine got it to work! The first time was a learning curve :)

[@lo-fi9613]

Get rrotik in a masterclass

[@xmazzix]

Do you even left? lol thanks for the breakdown :)

[@ImEasyxD]

The mix and master engineer needed to work his as off to salvage some quality from this over compressed dry stuff what he just presented. All hail these everyday hero's who'll never get enough credit for their hard work!

[@mattthompson6090]

Róbert Bús he mixed the track himself mate

[@RE-fb6nl]

I love hearing all the super successfully djs and producers giving their intake on stuff

[@bender6942]

I was thinking the same thing, someone spent a lot of ours making this sound spot on

[@fbskier20]

Róbert Bús they get paid so nobody knows who they are

[@miss.antidote]

@@mattthompson6090 are you high? of course he did not ...

[@AlexZelaMusic]

Did he just draw a nob on that white board? @19:07

[@TheDrumloop]

bought the digital version on android but link to video doesn't work ..???CM

[@mekinis]

steve goldsmith it works

[@Pashsport]

where is it?? i cant find it

[@uuulaalaa]

Cubase gangg

[@sheachapman3148]

Thats bit wig

[@uuulaalaa]

toYaear's yup he said it

[@eg1612]

Nope that's Cubase. And I'm case you're still not sure. 6:08 look at the DAW window top left

[@milancole5712]

@computermusic when i buy the digital copy... is the tutorial included?

[@Pashsport]

this is a million dollar question...i cant find it

[@milancole5712]

Yeah I bought it... you get the link in the issue

[@gaz9799]

which page

[@milancole5712]

dont know... just look at the index

[@HazzyBPlayz]

pls get PAWSA!

[@damo5791]

Jeeez, every time he turns around the sound dips. A channel dedicated to sound failed at the very first hurdle. Otherwise, great content...from what I could hear.

[@owenmorts]

That drum loop sounds like Fools Gold - Stone Roses

[@evanj4788]

"I wanted to make it level so I put a compressor on it" Bro... just turn it down lmao

[@djwillcaine]

Jesus Christ this audio is dreadful

[@erikaalexandra2335]

Que hermoso me enamoré

[@MrBermo1406]

Great producer and good tips but when I’m watching tutorials I like to see inside the project when I’m watching. 90% of this here is him speaking about production and sometimes easier to follow when your looking at the project on your screen. My two cents anyway

[@albertofelipe4845]

I agree!

[@UrbanLikwid]

This video is great, nothing technical, just raw mixing with no rules resulting in a huge club banger result. But def not down from compressing and limiting a kick, especially with an SSL...

[@hucky29]

hmmm

[@simonemascellari1215]

I didn't know Johnny Sins got into producing

[@vincecool72]

This comment killed me 😂

Plug tech? Puig old boy, Puig.

is this video side chained to something wtf is happening lmao

Holy crap, I thought the whiteboard was a screen. A way more warmer screen 😏

[@TonyChurch112]

Scott, watch your tone buddy. I’ll batter you.

[@AKAtAGG]

let's upload a video with terrible sound and then ask everyone to buy the product to see the next episode in the series 'awful sound in a video about producing fucking music'

[@howtonot9729]

a buss compressor on a kick drum... no further comment needed

[@mattthompson6090]

Well I mean it clearly works for him cause it’s their biggest track

[@onset5881]

they actually do work i.e. ableton's glue gives better punch than waves api2500 most of the time. you're probably just spewing something you've read somewhere

[@supersquare]

How is a comp with a slow attack on a kick drum bad? lol

[@BrandonIsTention]

“rules” about making fucking music. no further comment needed.

[@hawkrolla]

The fact he is 'self taught' and manages to create such amazing tunes says an awful lot about the current state of music production.

[@CellanEynon]

17:21 DO NOT compress your kicks as much as this..

[@benjaminlee4433]

unless you want to get a beatport number 1 that is

[@CellanEynon]

jesus I hope you don't really believe that

[@milodjilodj]

Actually yes, do the things you should NOT DO and you can make something proper. There are no rules, especially in electronic music, it cant be compered to classic mixing/production.

[@insidetheride3573]

Can assure you this kick sounds banging on a festival/club sound system

[@cahilla54]

milodjilodj agreed
