[@afrosheent3arcmichael69]

Yes I wants to see him finishes the song

[@andygreen5565]

The look on his face when he hummed that first melody and realized it was a really good melody was awesome.

[@parkerbohnn]

Get a listen to the name of this one pal... I'M DOING THE BEDBUG BOOGIE WHILE THEY GNAW AT MY NACKERS DAY AND NIGHT NIGHT AND DAY

[@user-sh9dh4cp8g]

I use my voice notes section so much for song ideas. One of the best tools you can use!

[@rianwyld]

Im never “saving” my ideas for later after watching this! 🥂🙌🏽

[@Studio]

Amazing!

[@djjameshayes9766]

My phone is full of recordings of me humming, rapping and singing (badly) but it’s the best way. Sometimes I can put a drop (in my case house music) in my head & hum the full thing into my phone & make it ltr. Great tip

[@wasseofficial]

Glad to know I've been getting it half right. Room for growth always a blessing

[@thenitinjadavmusic]

The way we select samples and then forget the sample in our head while scrolling across samples❤😂😂

[@scottlarock7924]

If you are on Android, audio recorder is a great app. You can use it to record from the mic, internal audio or Bluetooth. Decent settings for adjusting quality and format as well.

[@JonKunis]

Did the class last year, would love to see a compilation of every time he had random tip he learned from one of the super producers he works with

[@harveyil]

i honestly had so much enjoyment watching this. This is real music production, excited to see more!

[@Studio]

Glad you enjoyed it! Stay tuned, more to come!

[@Twominutedevotions]

Watching Charlie Puth work makes me happy.

[@1683clifton]

Yall sitting and talkin had a moment or two. I was educated and entertained. Yall appreciated the process and I felt that. Be well new friends.

[@Nahhh868]

This commentary should reallly be a part of the class. I took a few studio classes and sometimes the masters go really fast and in the zone. It's nice to have a breakdown of what they are doing and why from time to time, that's where the real learning is.

[@lukexruggiero2063]

NEED MORE OF THISSSSS!

[@saifeek]

Charlie is a maestro of feel good music 🎶

[@Fraend]

Actually I find out that, in some ways the starting point of songwriting is really similar in what I also do! that's sick!

[@Bashanvibe]

This is refreshing to know I’m doing something right with creating!!! I spend a lot of time on just finding the right sound!!!

[@curtisbatson3497]

Very enjoyable video. Tip 3 is the ice for sure.

[@lordlozz9994]

You’s are the absolute best channel for musicians to learn from!

[@Studio]

Thanks so much!!

[@user-xm4ve9ij6q]

I was receiving my juiciest melody ideas before pocketable supercomputers arrived. It was almost always when I was out walking or shopping. I didn't own a portable recorder so I'd hum the ideas for as long as I could. Sometimes I'd make it back to my little 1/4-inch 8-track recording setup in time to capture them but very often they'd vanish back into the ether. I always say I've forgotten my best work.

[@samhayek_]

That bassline brought it to life!

[@munguhalwindi1289]

these are great and helpful videos keep up 🙌🔥

[@lisaheesters4508]

Crazy how much that baseline added

[@Ki-KisWorld]

The basic things I already do, but everything else I don’t have the software 😭

[@theraven749]

Exactly… i literally use garageBand its so bad 😂

[@bawlerbear]

Cakewalk DAW is free with full capabilities/similarities to Logic Pro@@theraven749

[@juanmendez.w7683]

Charlie is a elite complete musician and producer omg bro

[@JORDAN23TV]

we aint ever getting older 🗣️🗣️

[@Rewd_Boy]

What a song writing genius!

[@tetheredminds6019]

For me personally recording everything is fine but the skill to operate the DAW along with knowing how to regulate every parameter precisely according to one's expectation is a whole different story I can't always simply expect to randomly press some buttons and make things sound cool altogether.

[@nguqobo2261]

5:10 there's a preset on Fl Studio Harmor that sounds exactly like that.

[@Denno484]

very good video! thank you❤

[@calmabeats]

Chance to add monthly plans in the future ? Thanks !

[@Marvinostin]

Something I’ve learned through all these years,if it’s not give you chills ain’t it.!

[@lukeprins458]

Inspired video for me

[@rinocandela]

Inspiring video, thanks! ✨

[@Studio]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks!!

[@soul_panther_music]

Amazing and informative video guys! Thank you

[@Studio]

Glad it was helpful!

[@andrewsado]

guys, u are so awesome!!!

[@coob7683]

This is so good

[@debalinakole]

I wish he released it 😭

[@TD_SportzYT]

Do his complex back around song next, not hopes up

[@myaaa2626]

Charlie has to release ts frl🔥🔥

[@pantomath5994]

Charlie's perfect pitch enables him to effortlessly identify and determine chords for melody lines instantly. This was really nice to watch. 💖💖💖

[@CrazyMusicJ]

와 대박이다!!!

[@playahayta421]

Cool video! Thanks

[@Studio]

Glad you liked it!

[@walidelfaiz1523]

Musical genius

[@Finnathegod]

U guys are great

[@theinfinate]

this was awesome! thank you

[@Studio]

Glad you liked it!

[@gavinex]

Finding sounds a struggle even for Charlie lmao

[@3device]

Damn, I love this! ❤

[@zakaroonetwork777]

I wish I had a DAW that could Capture; "in the Moment"! "Time to Switch to Pro-Tools" .... Ableton Live, Logic, Studio One and now Luna have all Left me High and Dry with nothing to show for.

[@mariadanielastoia9350]

Great.!!!

[@alexandrchubutkin662]

Hello! I use music recording apps and would like to know if you use any apps for collaborative music writing? If yes, which ones and why? I would appreciate any recommendations and advice!

[@kartickgupta4118]

Thanks ❤

[@Studio]

You're welcome!

[@DahliaIbrahim-wy1ds]

wow Charlie Puth is a Genious I am so happy he is sharing with us the way he does it, Creativity is Intelligence having Fun!

[@Zetich]

bro you got to save your favorite presets to speed up your workflow

[@bradmuse]

Love how they make u think this is a Puth video and not these two using his ideas to promote their ever present videos

[@pnweerak]

I found myself vibing with Charlie

[@cpa0510]

Does anyone know what softwares/plugins Charlie is using?

[@NiniRockX]

Love Charlie. Everything he recorded has hit potential. But the two who are constantly talking in between should please just show him. We see by ourselves what he wants to show us.

[@SYQmusic]

Why exactly do you have to interrupt his videos instead of just letting the professional and his results speak for itself?

[@mividacotidiana]

Can you tell us what he is using on his phone and home studio?

[@MartyNo1]

Love Charlie

[@playhousesound]

I swear if Music was a person it's Charlie.

[@Howling-Dog]

I don't know much about music but one thing is for sure...his mind is flowing with an endless supply of elements present in water 😂😂..

[@Genolexis]

Dude is talented, not sure why the hate. Just take the advice and move on

[@saucekid8367]

This man Charlie is a genius

[@TheFlippa416]

this man is a god

[@laloviveros4087]

Before doing all of that process, you've got to have certain specific knowledge "downloaded" in your mind. Learn how to share your ideas, Study music theory, and of course learn how to use the DAWS:D

[@currentcontentco]

bro just made a hit for the chainvapers

[@abzee733]

Would love to finally hear him sing in his natural voice. He seems pretty trapped in this weird „MUST be high pitched head voice“ concept, which you get bored from so fast.

[@MrMikomi]

Yeah it's a modern thing, I think. Boys singing high.

[@SjarMenace]

Ideaaaarrr ohhh nauuurr cleoooorr

[@user-rm4id1dp6o]

Yes my dear charlie ❤️💓❤️💓

[@user-rm4id1dp6o]

Yeah my love of course 😘😘💓❤️

[@MeetVekaria]

What are all the tools, plugins, and software he’s using?

[@robheskin]

Let me just go over to this keyboard and play the dopest thing ever...

[@-JoshDaMan-]

I'd like to know the software he's using please

[@Jesus193u2]

But how do you find the chords to your melody? Like how do you know what notes youre singing?

[@hacccccc978]

As long as your not tonedeaf you can just hear it?

[@sammusic1580]

He looks exactly like John Wick❤

[@currentcontentco]

"I have this hihat idea" *plays 2-step hihat pattern on midi keyboard*

[@Driftnitronexus]

Wow that means i have just lost so many hits 😢 but how to do that in public

[@thawzinlin2431]

Charlie Puth is a real musical nerd

[@Harry_GZi_24]

I'm also inspired by Charlie Puth ❤

[@Studio]

That's great to hear!

[@bvc9815]

Tip #1: use pitch correction to sound better than you are.

[@Tylerjms7]

Tip #2, skip a bunch of the process so it feels like it’s easy and anyone can do it, haha

[@user-rd9rh2sd5t]

Naah bro can do beatbox ?nice

[@edhooo2602]

soo soo helpfull

[@Noten10]

🙌🎶Das war interessant und informativ🎶💫🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@BetterTimers]

I have the same keyboard... but unfortunately not the same skills as Charlie.... not even close 🤓

[@frankgambino.]

"Wii Sports" by Charlie Puth 😁

[@jaywinterbrook]

Jackson worked like this

[@zeyya3728]

what app did he use at the start to record his voice on the phone

[@lionnonny]

Voice recorder lol.

[@Anonthereal]

I have a love hate relationship with pitch correction.

[@essenceofmusic9523]

When i Try to Make New Melody for Song, O Get Those Melodies Which are Already Exist In Other Songs 💀

[@agnessusana]

❤

[@SHERmusician]

I love man child

[@LopezGuitar91]

What song is this btw?

[@SoundSignals]

One thing missing from your video is that Charlie is a child prodigy, he has been playing the piano since age 4 and jazz from age 10, studied at Berklee etc. He lives and breathes music and most importantly it's theory. It is very easy for him to quickly get the music in his head out of the speakers. Not so easy for us lay folk.

[@ashhhh247]

doesn't that guy look like john wick?

[@rifatahmed6214]

He gave up guns for music

[@ashhhh247]

@@rifatahmed6214 huh lol

[@dougmccoll6126]

oh o. Chairlie. Yuv gottall the digitall reecarding stoof. Boot yer doonit!

[@rafaelunplugged]

I mean it helps he has perfect pitch and already knows the notes key and chords of a random hum

[@Eraeraeric]

Yeah that's true when I figure out chords I need to draw the midi cause I can't just play chords on a keyboard

[@rano12321]

You can always develop relative pitch later in life and then use that to find the chords and 3rd and 5ths of any scale

[@Eraeraeric]

@rano12321 that's the thing I'm good at figuring out what Chords sound right or how they should sound but no idea the theory behind it

[@kangenngoding]

he's genius to make music by his brain and his hand

[@AstedroidMusic]

1. is just the most humiliating step ever 😭

[@TimmyTheSnail]

With all due respect, the man and woman added little to nothing to this video I feel. In fact I personally found it annoying them interrupting. This isn’t meant to be hateful, just more maybe harsh criticism

[@369jwillow]

I disagree. They helped encapsulate and summarize the key focal points of Charlie’s method and broke up the flow to make the ideas salient.

[@gryphynalvarez226]

Bitch, why did this comment just make me laugh so goddamn hard?! Gotta say kind of felt like they were trying to explain the obvious like i'm a numb skull.

[@dearjoeymusic1146]

This is Hate, trust me. Otherwise I don’t see why you had to mention. If you wanted to see the original video by puth himself without interruption, then u could have simply gone to his own page (GOODLUCK). But these couple here have made their own video to teach their own audience and followers very vital musical composition tips and they only used Charlie’s video as a great case study for what they are teaching their students. Your comment is not necessary dear brother.

[@TimmyTheSnail]

@@dearjoeymusic1146this isn’t hate 🤣 if you genuinely believe this is hate then you need to take a long hard look at yourself in the mirror. This is merely constructive criticism which apparently people like you are now so sensitive to because you can’t bare to hear anything that isn’t praise 😂

[@theHERNANmusic]

it was NOT that deep
