Recording Tutorial: Creating A Song From Scratch

[@mixermanbear.4002]

What an incredible experience it is to watch and listen to the magic of a song being pulled out of wherever songs come from. I am not a musician but music is my saving grace. Thank you so much for sharing this.

9:10 to 9:20-yeah I appreciate what you say about writing writing the bass secondary to the guitar, lotta people don't understand that but as a guitar player who writes on the guitar I sure do! and thanks again for being there for all of us, one of the best guitar players out there working today and you still find the time for us folks

[@ryanmct1892]

Man, I cannot thank you enough for this video. It completely unlocked this process for me. Self taught, struggling through GarageBand, but having watched this last night I’ve now tracked two demos. Thank you so much man.

[@JamesVaughan-j6p]

I'm a terrible guitar player and have no clue as to what you are doing, however I absolutely enjoyed watching and listening to a pro ( from one of my favorite bands) create something so cool from scratch....

[@juniperus.itoigawa]

Awesome, I've been listening to ATW a lot lately and just discovered your channel. Thanks for demoing your creative process, i learned a lot from it. Keep up the good work ❤

[@stratos1975]

I enjoyed this video. Thanks for putting it together. Sometimes I struggle to write whole tunes. It was nice to sit back and watch how it’s done from another perspective.

[@TheKatpurz]

Put it on the next ATW album and take my money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@pdub4600]

Hahah yes!! I agree 100%

[@albertovelasco2304]

[@samichpower]

This is amazing. Can't believe you did this in less than an hour, you make it look so easy! Thanks for the video

Great timing Ben I was browsing for a new EZX pack I was in doubt of getting Alt-Rock or Big Rock Drums, thanks for helping me decide ;-)

[@bmac8810]

@@Willemguitar it’s awesome. Crank up the ambience mics on the “original mix” setting and it’s immediately the pixies “where is my mind” sound

[@andremanfrinigarcia6628]

Thanks for the videos man, this one in particular was very useful to me. I was just wondering how you got to your drums structure, what does the process looks like from that side, because it's usually tricky for me to decide on drum parts, giving the plugins offer so many different options at different tempos,. Thanks Ben, cheers.

[@roar140]

Thanks a lot Ben! You actually helped me choosing an overdrive pedal. I bought BD-2w and never looked at something else since, it's the BEST overdrive ever. Period. Now I just need to find a fuzz pedal which I prefer as well!

[@stahliwood8755]

Look at Stomp Under Foot I bought Ben's bucket of blood octave fuzz pedal it's awesome.

[@ianbroekemeier4672]

So sick, man. Almost Smashing Pumpkins-esque, or in that realm. Might be time to start a dedicated indie/alt project🤷‍♂️

[@cactus-mcjacktus]

Sounds like an Adore track

[@jacklmno2956]

[@SCUD7005]

Awesome video! Makes me want to try come up with something myself and record even though I'm a beginner.

[@huntleykent1183]

Ben, Thanks for this! How do you like the UAD '65? Does if feel relatively lifelike? It sounds great. BTW, ya'll killed it in Austin last summer!

[@guitarz]

[@frankburfoot8090]

Do you ever play slide with a resonator? Would love a demonstration if you do ! Have a great week!

[@kyleluck8097]

Long live Exit/In.

[@rustyscoops492]

Hey Ben, what do you think about the boss/jhs angry driver?

[@larsemiliozapata7804]

Really cool to see how you make a song from scratch. What is your signal chain? Guitar -> Pboard -> and then into the daw? What Plugin for guitar?

[@bmac8810]

No guitar plugin! Just the UAD Dream 65 amp pedal. I run that straight into my interface

[@benjibradley8914]

Atw is coming to Tulsa! can you sign my bluesdriver? 👀

[@bmac8810]
