Charlie Puth's 5 Tips For Producing #1 HITS | Studio Deep Dive

[@lusiii432]

something else that i noticed is how charlie is saying very often "that thing that benny told me about", goes to show having friends or mentors that can teach you interesting things is also something really important to make cool music like he does, so thank you so much for this video!!

[@rabball]

[@Nightclub20xx]

bless your heart charlie for producing magic in pro tools

[@MichaelOrtega]

3:39 “don’t worry about the clicks later just make it sound clean, it will inspire a melody if what you hear sounds like a final product” EXACTLY how I work on my music. I get the blocks and melody rafts and stop and don’t do anything else until the blocks and melody idea sound EXACTLY how I have them in my head.. this gets me inspired to add more layers or variations because I no longer get distracted by the poor quality. Once the melody sounds (like it’s supposed to) I move on to the next parts and so on. I essentially make a very good “30 second song” at a time… on and on until it’s a final complete sequences. If I had a 3 minute “rough draft” i would end up hating it… but if I had a 30 second “masterpiece” it inspires the next minute until I complete the entire piece.

[@JakeAdkinsOfficial]

I like how Charlie seems pretty down to earth. He's like "idk how you're supposed to do it, but this is what I do" and honestly, that's pretty encouraging. When you can get past the idea that there's special gear or plugins or industry secrets to make good music, you can start to lean on the fact that its ultimately going to be the heart and quality of the song itself that determines its success. At least, I think so. -Me, someone with no industry credits whatsoever.

If you write every melody like that and don't end up with a #1 track, you will finally end up in existential crisis.

Putting the individual notes into audio feels like something i would have done 20 years ago because my pc couldn’t handle having two vsts open.

[@Solanaar]

The entire first part is actually a concept. But he seems to be unaware of it so he tries to describe it. It's what you could call "mindful production". What do I mean by that? It means that you should try to be very conscious and deliberate about EVERYTHING. This helps you to evaluate every decision and not fall into the trap of doing something the same way every time out of habit, which would lead to uninspiring and boring tracks. He just explained it poorly by talking about weird dogmas. But there's no one way to be mindful of your production, this is just HIS WAY. Rendering out things is a great way because it automatically forces you to be mindful and helps you to move forwards instead of second guessing yourself, the ultimate killer of creativity. There are actually a lot of tools to achieve this, btw. It's a really fascinating field of psychology

[@Solanaar]

If anyone wanna know about a cool method, I can recommend searching for "scrum sprints". It is a method of breaking projects down into smaller sub-projects, at the end of which there is always a finished product. This iterative way of working encourages you to concentrate on the essentials. At the end of each sprint, you consider what is needed to complete the project. Rinse and repeat.

[@Solanaar]

Another tricks to think of projects as assignments. Venus theory made a great video about this concept recently.

Good video. Thank you. I also want to throw out there for anybody that's using OVOX, remember you can use the MIDI out to use your voice to play any of your instruments. Even if you don't want to create a dominant instrument layer with it, you can use it to have like a backing sound to your vocal similar to what Charlie did here.

[@mrfibonacci33]

Im a newbie starting producing music as a hobby and this is truly inspiring ❤

[@evanseesred]

One tip that is not explicitly said but is kind of a bonus tip: sing your melodies first. Then find them on the keyboard. I find that when I put my hands on the keyboard, i consistently go back to the same patterns, the same shapes, etc. But when I’m just singing and imagining it in my head, it’s pure and unaffected by my interaction with an instrument and I can kind of intuit what’s musical and appealing about a phrase before playing it on a keyboard.

[@EvilCruz12]

Is there any app or ia available that i can sing a melody and then return the notes?

[@evanseesred]

@@EvilCruz12 good question. I’m sure there is. Ableton let’s you drag an audio file to a midi track and it interprets it into midi information, but the results can be kind of mixed.

Charlie is really talented and all, I've listened to his stuff since See You Again and I respect him a bunch. But playing each note and then bouncing to audio?? I've also heard some pretty bad things about producing in PT and now I know that Charlie uses it, mad respect for him for that loll

[@henriksalomon1]

i'd say the main advantage is that you get very clean notes with reverb and or whatever other fx on them... if it wasn't individually done then you'd have notes bleeding into each other muddying things up, so it absolutely makes sense to do it his way.. but it depends on the sound too

[@CrypticSoundFX]

@@henriksalomon1 Isn't there ADSR for that? Or does PT not have ADSR?

[@henriksalomon1]

@@CrypticSoundFX i can't see how you would achieve the same effect, please explain

[@CrypticSoundFX]

@@henriksalomon1 You can use envelopes to stop the notes and reverb bleeding into each other. It's faster than bouncing to audio and then doing things to it, and it's automatic, which is always good in a large production. I get that Charlie is a very analog person when it comes to producing, he loves his waveforms, but in the end this is not a video showcasing his talent, it's meant to be him giving tips for producing. Bouncing each note to audio is a horrible tip to give someone (if they do not share the same interest in raw audio manipulation like he does), especially if they're just starting out. His course is meant to be for the newbie to intermediate skill range too, which makes it worse in my opinion, especially when there are easier ways to do what he's doing. This is just my take on this as a Logic/Ableton media composer, I don't know how Pro Tools works, (nor that whole genre to be honest). Other people in the comments say MIDI is horrible in PT, so maybe that's a reason he learned to do things this way 🤷‍♂

[@brawrecords]

The good thing about bouncing to audio is that he commits to the track and the sounds.

Charlie Puth makes #1 hits because he's a gifted songwriter and has good marketing behind him. It has nothing to do with "recording each note individually" because that's awful advice. If he'd have flipped the synth to monophonic and adjusted an envelope, he'd have accomplished everything those edits accomplished in probably less than 30 seconds.

Of course, Benny fucking Blanco told him that BS

[@TRXST.ISSUES]

Respectfully, you’re missing the point. He’s saying to record each note individually because each note is worth considering in its dynamics, expression etc. Rather than going for a perfect take with all micro dynamics, get things solid piece by piece. You can cook a steak faster in a blast furnace but sometimes it’s worth it to take your time. He is an accomplished musician, this isn’t about speed it’s about making something special in his own unique way.

I guess the flip side is that music was never meant to be so perfect where you shape every individual note to perfection. Because you can now with modern DAW's, doesnt necessarily mean you should. For me, it loses its magic

sure. This is honestly such a silly opinion- spend years of your life mastering making music so that it is as good as it possibly can be- but don't put that work into a single song so you have an actual quality piece. I feel like so many just say this because we're lazy- and don't want to go to the levels Charlie puts goes for his music.

[@darkozoric4184]

@@JoshuaMiddlebrooks-z2r Perfection doesn't necessarily mean quality. What makes you different from me in a performance is the little nuances you do differently. By quantizing it and cooking it into perfection, it removes all the characteristics that makes that performance you and makes it generic. So I end up sounding like you and you sound like me. Music has always been a performance to some extent....we are now cooking all elements so much so that there is no performance any longer. Its just a series of perfectly cooked sounds put together

why does he increase the attack in the transient master and then add sidechain with lfo tool? That's like turning on a humidifier and a dehumidifier on at the same time.

[@TheTonecii]

Im picking up a little "Look at me, Louie!" in this guy 😂

[@Hexspa]

Because it gives him maximum control over each sample. Say he plays it normally. Since he hates MIDI, once he renders to audio the tails will get into the transients. By separating the notes, he gains maximum control over each note’s dynamic envelope. If the tails get into the transients, you get comb filtering which will sound less clean. If you didn’t notice, this guy likes clean. You saw how he used the transient designer? With messed up transients, it won’t work as well.
