[@itstrenttv]

I f***** love this guy, he's got good vibes

[@brettgoodrich]

Thank you, Alex Dome ♥

[@twatmunro]

I see what you did there.

[@metromikee]

Kygo is the reason I started mixing music, I took his course in STUDIO and really learned a bit of his style. so inspiring, thanks for sharing this video

[@ALEmix-zw2sc]

You making music or mixing?

[@metromikee]

@@ALEmix-zw2sc I believe a bit of both, but producing would be the most accurate term for what I’m doing.

[@iancope6588]

Kygo brings me ~back~ and to look in depth at firestone is a treat, thank you as always Alex !!

[@Kaioshynn]

Kygo is basically the tropical house version of Avicii - which of course makes sense if you know that Kygo's biggest inspiration was Tim; it shows. :) I still remember finding his I see fire remix (Ed Sheeran) and loving it instantly. When he made it big, I was like "YAAAASSS"

[@Mickeysternum245]

Avicii is another level up when it comes to chords/melodies imo. I feel like the chords in this example without the specific sounds would be hard to remember, but aviciis chords are recognisable with any sound

[@LLAWREN]

he did the same with the pedal notes in "For Life". even sounds like the same note :O

[@veschil]

Man you're the goat of this EDM logic pro stuff ngl

[@aflyincoconut]

YOOOOOOOOOO was literally thinking it would be sick to see you break down Firestone, here for it boss 🤙

Thank you

[@waliddeui6725]

6:22 oow my god Alex oow my god

[@shiinemusic]

that Kygo is a good KEY player everyone knows it (there are a lot of Keygo's doing that), but what every producer can really learn from Kygo is having a bit of luck and being able to layer ACAPELLAS like Tina Turner etc. This is what made AVICII and other DJ-MAG's the same thing... they use famous artists voices on their tracks...

[@SonnyWane]

Banger

[@donnithaballa1165]

I love these breakdown videos bro, and if you haven't checked out his course it's awesome. totally worth it if you wanna start sounding like a pro

[@parenteseswebdev]

[@PhO3NiX96]

Have you got your tickets guys? Cause I do :P

[@awakemusic3031]

What is pedal tone? Can some one explain

[@animal40]

same, no idea

[@animal40]

so I asked chatGPT: Pedal tones, also known as drone tones or pedal points, are sustained or repeated notes, typically in the bass range, that serve as a foundation or anchor for the harmonic structure of a piece of music. In the context of electronic dance music, like Kygo's tracks, pedal tones are often used to create a sense of continuity and stability amidst changing harmonies and melodies. They can provide a consistent rhythmic and harmonic reference point, allowing other musical elements to evolve and interact around them. Kygo frequently employs pedal tones, often using deep, pulsating basslines that anchor his melodic and rhythmic elements, contributing to the distinctive sound of his tracks.

[@remyzandbergen4376]

Title must be what Ai can learn from kygo.. in a few months suno can produce whole edm tracks in minutes. Yes, im depressed about it.

[@boozalm3715]

Did he say the syphilis of chord progressions?

[@darbomusic]

Nice
