These guys deserve more credit. They drop some of the biggest Pop songs. Every once in awhile i hear a song on the radio that is a guilty pleasure for some reason. 9 timesout of 10, i found out Stargate did it

[@marcusherbold993]

These guys were the go to producers in the early 2000's and 2010's. Hits for days

[@MountainViewStudio]

The production of this song was amazing. I was actually studying very closely, trying to break down each element of the mix. Really stunning

[@terrailsanders]

simple but it made history one of Rihanna’s top songs hands down great work thanks for the knowledge !!🙏🏾

[@jeromerusselldemusicologist]

"Less Is Always More" Very Subtle Yet Intricate Approach To Making Music... I Love Stargate

[@SavBeatz97]

Simple yet complex. The sounds compliment the theme of the song to create a bigger picture.

[@guinessbeer]

I feel like this is Rihanna’s signature song. It is timeless.

[@mrcloud9750]

itaint her song it's sias

[@Hypno_BPM]

Umbrella is definitely Rihanna’s signature song imo

[@createdbyshaunp]

Love these two! Tor and Mikkel are my mentors at their academy, LAAMP fand I'm so glad I get to learn from them and the staff every single day. Thank you guys for taking me in and teaching me so much. looking forward to the coming years!! 🙌🏽❤️‍🔥

[@BENBLADZTV]

This is Lit! Both Tor and Mikkel are my mentors at the Los Angeles Academy Of Music Production. I have learned so much from them and they always keep us inspired and pushing ahead. So glad to know them and lookin forward to great things very soon. Cheers 🍷🍷 #stargatemusic #LAAMP

[@arturikhay]

You are blessed! To have these guys as mentors… damn. I would give half my life haha. They are easily in my top 10 producers

[@nicogggg]

It’s so hard to remain simple when you have an abundance of different versions of the same base beat because your indecisive and a perfectionist always thinking I can tweak it just a bit more to make it better tbe. Next thing I know I’m stuck working on the same portion of the song in logic cause I can’t make up my mind. It’s always important to have other peoples opinions of like minded artists to create magic! I start my audio engendering education next month so excited!

[@SpaceboyBilliards]

Wow 3 layers to the chords. I only hear 2, but I do use that chord strategy where you go from a 5 note chord to a 3 or 2 note chord for a smooth energy shift

[@MikeHitt]

These guys are MASTERS

[@AJ7698]

I always learn something new through these videos. ty!

[@vinn.4615]

Less is always more! Superb song, superb production

[@bw2937]

I agree

[@Jamusictv]

One of my favorite all time production duo. Top level !

[@Dutch.van.der.Linde.-]

interesting ..never thought that the piano is a nexus preset

[@SpaceboyBilliards]

Nexus is the goat. It's found in a lot of music for the last 20 or so years

[@deeznuttz905]

Damn near ever song last 20 years or so has nexus on it especially spanish music lol

[@brozyoo288]

Hard to tell with the bells

[@Markynava777]

Great series! Stargate are very good producers and I don't think they get the credit they deserve. Like at all.

[@posiden]

yeah those dudes are dope

[@nickepic1863]

They get credit from the Industry, that's important for them. They don't need recognition from the public because they are calm and down to earth guys, no ego tripping with Stargate like we see with many producers. This is why these guys survived for so long in this industry.

[@vlissblisskiss]

every beatmaker on the planet fr heard this and wondered how it was made. it's timeless

[@DissonantSynth]

It's cool that Stargate ended up working with Sia again later

[@mzprincessrae]

Love seeing the process!

[@Paweland]

next to Storch, my favorite producers

[@ParisM23]

Best pop producers in history

[@DamarcoGonzalez]

Actually Max Martin and Dr.Luke is. Then these guys are. Max martin has 25 #1 hits. And Dr.Luke has 20. I don’t even think these guys have 15. But they do have a good amount.

[@ITSMRZFG]

Stargate are legends fr you gotta add Max Martin to the list too

[@DissonantSynth]

It's nice to see Native Instruments Kontrol being used here!

[@Par1s]

This would have been sweet the summer before I went into middle school

[@abdielmota2642]

Thank you 💫

[@RoyaltyKings]

Nexus still out here making hits lol awesome!

[@karinegraham4763]

I love these vids! ❤️🔥

[@999GNG]

he used RVerb large dark hall on the rihanna's vocals!!!

[@SamuelGmusic]

Damnnn who really produced this song? I’ve seen so many producers make videos of the making of this song

[@Lychechechee]

Stargate and Benny Blanco! Fucking talented producers they are. And Sia sang the demo cuz she wrote the song

[@goodmuszic726]

The high priests of modern day hip hop pop and R&b.

[@robertvanmusic]

Which kind of soft ware is this for audio production?

[@ujaymusic007]

Stargate is genius

[@esracetinturk1719]

Please work with rihanna again 🤤

[@pasmrs9221]

is the preset different in nexus 3 it's a completley different sound

[@francescomastellone7210]

the right preset is arena ambience.

[@pasmrs9221]

@@francescomastellone7210 ah got it, thanks!

[@hendricksam]

Nexus!!!

[@kwakuemma8382]

Dope

[@Khordmaster]

Khordmaster approved ✔️

[@DigitalFacts]

"You can see the cutoff on the actual nexus is filtered" -> turns knob and does not recognize that the master filter is off. Clever ...

[@onetwo234]

It’s because he probably used it in the original or at first and then later possibly the engineer replaced it with another plugin like fabfilter

[@houssjefe2366]

So what did benny blanco do

[@iancoervanovite]

REALLY? ONLY 3:57 FUCKK

[@atomdish-man2786]

i thought it was eminem 😂

[@JamesWestMusicMan]

I hate it when people use "vibes" when they can't be bothered explaining what it is...

[@deepak32senger]

You can't get spoonfed everything like that bro...

[@marklholloway]

Unless they are vibraphones!

[@DissonantSynth]

You realise that "vibe" means vibraphone, right?

[@jamelehampton4255]

It's short for Vibraphone GENIUS

[@crxyy6252]

Terrible song. Rihanna sounds so extremely emotionless

[@esracetinturk1719]

Considering this song is a global hit nobody agrees with you. Lol
