I Watched EVERY FINNEAS Interview (Here's His BEST Music Production Advice)

[@coreyfro]

"the harder you work, the luckier you are." Work is all about making opportunities for luck.

[@roymoxley2587]

Back in the 80’s and 90s some of the most popular songs were done on cheap equipment and very few tracks It’s not about all this technology it’s about how to put something really good out

[@ProducingInTheBox]

Exactly

[@rome8180]

Finneas is such a smart, thoughtful person. I love listening to him talk. And of course, I love listening to his productions. His mastery of low end and space are second to none.

[@ProducingInTheBox]

100000% agree! Such a great person and producer.

[@W4TSKY]

As a logic user, getting to dive into the Ocean Eyes demo project was INSANE!! They even kept all of Billie’s vocal takes and there are like 40 of them at least

[@ProducingInTheBox]

That is awesome! Pretty mind blowing hahahaha

[@Joni-521]

Finneas is the best son & brother he’s highly talented ❤ his voice as a solo singer is amazing as well. Their parents are also great ppl. Great parenting ❤❤❤

[@JudgeFredd]

Great video

[@iammayab1239]

Amazing advice, thank you!

[@ProducingInTheBox]

Thank you for watching!

[@PrehistoricRexMusic]

Video sound is exceptionally loud. Watching on TV with a soundbar and woofer. Blew me off the couch lol.

[@ProducingInTheBox]

Hahahahah WHOOPSSSS. I love audio hahaha

[@adycfrbv]

@@ProducingInTheBox how many LUFS is this video?🤣 What you aim usually?

[@ProducingInTheBox]

@@adycfrbv tbh, I don’t pay attention to LUFS very often unless I feel like it’s not hitting my reference track like I want. Then I use those tools for diagnostic purposes. I honestly can’t tell you for this video haha

[@rhinestonecb]

For me it was such an inspiration to find out Finneas and Eilish recorded and produced mega-successful songs in small bedroom! I mean, there are no excuses...

[@blastdrome829]

We need more videos like this, this was motivational. Also Let me know when you send the email and VIP Video, and I just started the vocal course and I really like the instrumental stems for your song, sounds sick!

[@Michaelvan-g3q]

Totally agree > "Inspiration tracks, not reference tracks". Who the hell wants to copy someone else's inspiration??!! 😊

[@respect335]

The back ground is so distracting haha but great video

[@ProducingInTheBox]

With my Les Paul’s and acoustic treatment? Or you mean the background when FINNEAS’s is talking? Haha

[@mistermusicenterprise3148]

Uff it drives me grazy

[@karacoldmusic]

​@ProducingInTheBox for me it's when finneas is talking. the video is great otherwise

[@guynicholls5362]

That video behind funnies geezus Christ am tweaking

[@Godisgood137]

I didn’t understand the first step?

[@ProducingInTheBox]

I linked the full video in the description. Definitely go watch it. Essentially, the vocals act like chords. Multiple notes in key = chord. Chord data can come from anything. Finneas chooses to use vocal harmonies along side the melody to fill out the progression.

[@alchemeddy]

basically he's saying that the voice is the best instrument and offers a lot if you learn to use it

[@harrisg5]

Could you expand on the first step? It's not clear what the practical application of the concept is. There's multiple harmonies in her melody, then what?

[@ProducingInTheBox]

I linked the full video in the description. But in the comments here, that’s basically what it means. Multiple harmonies alongside her melody creates chords. Multiple notes at once creates a chord. Actually, just 3 notes is required to make a chord. 2 for a power chord if it’s 5ths. By having the vocals carry a lot of the weight of the chord data, it frees up room in the track.

[@asi1978]

Thank you for sharing this with us🫶🏻🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@night-mer]

the video behind finneas is nauseating. i see what you were trying to do tho.

[@ProducingInTheBox]

Next time I’ll make sure it’s different hahaha

[@alchemeddy]

that last one is so dumb, i liked how Finneas said it but i feel you missed the point with that analogy

[@Michaelvan-g3q]

I'll go further...... Why is ANY of this not OBVIOUS??? 😂

[@ProducingInTheBox]

@@Michaelvan-g3q It feels obvious to an experienced producer! How long have you been producing?

[@Michaelvan-g3q]

@@ProducingInTheBox Two years as a "bedroom producer". But, been a lover of music for over 50 years 😊🤘 Always wanted my own studio, and since it's now so easy to do, and relatively inexpensive, I decided to just go for it!!. What a bloody fun hobby!! 🤸‍♂️ (Guess you could call my "music" lo-fi industrial dark techno ambient thrash!! 😁

[@ProducingInTheBox]

@@Michaelvan-g3q that is such a cool genre!! And yes, what a time to be alive! High quality music can be made with relatively affordable gear! It’s still mind blowing to me.

[@Michaelvan-g3q]

@@ProducingInTheBox Absolutely! Thank you for your kind words 🤘 I appreciate the work / videos you put out ~ good for you!! Keep it up!!

[@ProducingInTheBox]

@@Michaelvan-g3q thank you so much!

[@Ellingcut]

Video is good, but the blinking background is so disturbing

[@ProducingInTheBox]

The next video won’t have that hahaha
