Hey Alex, just started your boot camp a week ago. I wanted to say thank you for making things so easy to understand and explaining topics in the level of detail that you do. I thought I would be overwhelmed at first jumping into it, but you've made it very easy to learn and retain everything you teach. Looking forward to the rest!

[@AlexRome]

hey guys, as im watching this through I just noticed I completely forgot to add the recording of me making the drums. sorry about that. the drums were a simple pattern using a kick, snare, and a hihat.I also had two cymbals on the front of the drop to make it sound nice. the full playthrough is at the end of the vid.

[@ouchieouchie8130]

the nerve of you playing with logic 10.5 and forgetting the drums, jk =P thx again for the tutorial vid

[@denizmusic8804]

hello Alex first of all thank you for helping me with your videos, i made a song called "Summer vibes" based on your tips, u can ear it on my instagram @denizkaza9495 is on the storys so is only for 24 h

[@lasekerhovd]

Awesome stuff dude (y)

[@ICE.DAVE717]

Alex, can you please tell me what sounds from Splice are you using for the drums?

[@Adsterr]

#1: Creation tension on the build up (and pitch bending , chords that are in tenson) #2: Drop you create release on the chords, Learn music theory, what tension and release is, tension is outside the chord that is being played, and relase is playing in it.

[@jade3866]

This is literally the best channel for producers. All your videos are straight to the point and super helpful.

[@brandonwoodward3733]

[@adarshvermamusic]

You're just amazing ❤️

[@tsframos]

Amazing!!!! Thx from Brazil!!!

[@OhShootKid]

Great video! But seeing you sidechain would be invaluable to me! The rest I can do alright, but getting that complete stop on the synth combined with using some on the vocals really makes the drop!

[@Vizobeatsofficial]

amazing work and helpful

[@kasly___8257]

thanks man this really helped me alot

[@juanclaudio_cs]

[@djdazza2796]

Another useful tutorial.

[@premixmpk7070]

Really nice video , can you make a tutorial for vocal chops

[@rkrecords3311]

Respect uh bro♥️🙏#tera dai ka budii🥺❤️

[@nyxmt539]

Great example that small project can be a BANGER 🔥, u should work on it and release it

[@robotomo4249]

When I make massive illenium style drops, the kick is always slightly lacking some power. Any tips on how i can get the kick to pump harder? (at the moment i'm amplify the sound, upping the low end and using sidechain of course)

[@nanogon7767]

Damn that’s a sick drop

[@JohanDaniel]

Hey Alex can you please make a tutorial on sidechaining with fabfilter pro c2!!

[@justarandomuseronyt1065]

nice but can you show how you chopped up the vocals and did you use alterboy to pitch up the vocals? would be very useful

[@djerikfox]

..pls help, is there a way to make a DJ-style Loop Out/Build Up Effect in logic x? tried with the sampler but it does not support automation on the loop end point...any other way?regards

[@abbosraimov5090]

Amazing

[@rira388]

Hi!!! What kind of monitors do you have? Yamaha HS5?

[@lukeblackham5377]

this slapsssss

[@itisevlogs2]

Can this happen on logic pro beacasue i am using logic pro and i really want to make a drop

[@grannypotproduction]

do you show how to make that vocal melody in the class

[@bigdreamz5739]

Dope!!!!!

[@JasSizzles]

Hey Alex do you do remixes? I have a song I would like a EDM remix to it?

[@_icaruss__]

Pls teach how you did that chord side chain

[@thiagokhouri9049]

Hey dude! Can u teach us how to make a drop like the one from opus (eric prydz)???

[@jeancarlosserrano2760]

Is the Serum Synth automatically on Logic ?as in free?

[@Stvrk]

Thoughts on Logic 10.5?

[@lostciiity]

This one's lit🙏

[@Dizmusic]

Incroyable merci

[@LandScaper]

Great Video, I didn't quite understand tho why you chose a Sinus Wave as the Sub-Bass because it is the cleanest one because the waveform is round shaped and then putting Distortion on it, could've just used a triangle from the start, it also just sounded like a Reeze Bass.

[@AlexRome]

A triangle doesn’t have that enhanced 200hz tone that a nice saturation has but I totally get what you’re saying

Will this song come out? Its pretty awrsome

[@mrmorningstar5053]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/gJSVgXlpjribq9E

[@ChrysesMusik]

ouh sääftig du auch hier?

[@connormenger2920]

Hey man how can I get in contact with you!

[@quinnk5778]

Surprised you didn't add any Saturn to that sub :D

[@vito6707]

Fire

[@musicforthewinyeah]

That’s a great production. But is it possible to make an edm song work with only one instrument? And after it works then layer all the good stuff over it? Just curious.

[@audiostuff9065]

of course.

[@tamlin434]

A synth is a instrument so yes you can make drums, vocal lead, saw chords, bass and so much more

[@pedrolockhardo3023]

I just want to let you know that your channel has changed my life. I’ve learned so much from your videos, they’re so concise and well produced! I’m now a professional dj and have been signed because of your tips

[@advityasharma4179]

Pedro Lockhardo Woah Congrats. Which label?

[@lukeblackham5377]

how long did it take you to get signed from when you first started?

[@lordofweed]

6:30 dope.

[@Vibesformusic]

that vocal chop is like jesus

[@upmanyuchaudhari2149]

❤️🔥

[@ramseysounds2086]

Im waiting for the drop 🤷‍♂️🤔

[@rileyjames7912]

🔥

[@frilex2598]

I loved the video, beside the sidechain, reverb and delay how did you get that sound with the vocal ? You pitched it ?

[@AlexRome]

FrileX yea I didn’t mention I used soundtoys alterboy to get that sound. I increased the Formant knob and pitch knob to get that sound

[@frilex2598]

Alex Rome thank you !

[@BadVoodoo9999]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but Serum is not built into Logic?

[@esportjunkie1668]

go to splice. they have rent to own

[@CHRISZIOMusic]

Wonderful stuff, one gripe, the video has quite a bit of background noise, makes it a big annoying to listen to the actually mind song.

[@saracardonazuluaga7363]

I missed this kind of things🤣

[@tonic1667]

Savage

[@upmanyuchaudhari2149]

Noiceee

[@nfcraft2595]

Why arent you using ableton?

[@segervaldmusic]

dam im here fast

[@brunobohlmann6061]

Hi bro, I heard a song by Rival called "Let it die" and I have an idea for a video. How to make orchestras for a song in the style of illenium or rival in this case. I hope you like the idea

[@AlexRome]

hmmm that's a good one.

[@jerryt9678]

my only downside is i use fl studio ;(

[@sharkhanjeel]

Kaboom Or Simple

[@AlexRome]

haha kabooooooooom

[@doubletrouble405]

who disliked the video lmao

[@kevinbonilla3959]

400% better

[@Simon-sl3jw]

yay no more Ableton 😂
