You have a great way of incorporating good humor into this.❤

[@TCLYDE]

Like when you talked about the call and response. In college I understood this as an antecedent consequent relationship. Wish I had a tutor like you back in the day. You got a great way of explaining things and making them interesting

[@dzmo-official]

Factz right there

[@801create2]

you're a friggin legend ash I appreciate your contributions to the world of art

[@ryankidd1039]

Really appreciate the work you put into this video- between the technique, candor, and motivation being the bow that wrapped the gift that this is. Excited to watch more of your content and hear your music

[@TCLYDE]

Super stoked for you to be releasing more tunes 🎉

[@KnetterMusic]

Great video dude! Love how you explain why certain melodies are catchy and your take on adding humanity to music.

[@jacobfreitas94]

This is like the only producer channel I watch every video. Love the content brotha 🙏🏼

[@MixMasterTheBomb]

This is truly an amazing video that like made something click in my head about writing melodies. Just subbed and hope to learn more from this channel!

[@MKROOFFICIAL]

awesome job Ash! This video hit home for me. I made production youtube videos in the past and stopped to focus on my music and my career, and along the way I've become lost in making sure everything is so professional and polished that it took away the fun of making music, that spark; and closing myself off from the community. Your commentary along with the tips and analyzation of tracks and artists like Knock inspires me to find that spark again. Thanks for the love and effort you put into these videos. Really good tips and knowledge to be found here on your channel. Excited to see where we'll all end up this year and the music to be shared!

[@namYa]

This has got to be one of the best videos on (EDM) music production i've ever watched on KZbin!! Craaazy props! Helps me a ton too

[@reformedhypebeast]

broooo great video!!

[@highlec]

this video is so well made

[@OrdinaryOneOfficial]

Really well presented! ♥

[@oreoprodigy1994]

I love your content man have you ever considered doing one one on lessons?

[@Beatsbasteln]

yeah, grace notes are awesome. i find myself usually writing them when i plan to make the synth monophonic with legato, so that there little grace notes make it slide. but ofc it can also happen that you end up liking the polyphonic version more, that is true to the experience that you have when playing the piano, where you hear that it's 2 distinct notes. i'd say that it's also comparable to the sensation of autotune, where the vocals sometimes slide over a lot of distinct notes too fast to make out which notes they are, but slow enough to notice they are notes.

[@MORRILL_MUSIC]

20:18 seconds is the best thing in the video. So real.

[@chrisshen1269]

[@julianflores2627]

I always thought that song was just like a revival/remake of David Guetta and Snoop Dogg's song of the same name

[@user-lr4kc9rk2f]

Could you possibility do a metal step tutorial to create a song similar to vastive??? I’m having a hard time finding any videos on that kind of sound

[@CrisPearson]

Knock2 is playing at your house. Youuuurrrr house

[@lurnt5763]

This is an awesome analysis video! Getting started with my production journey but it all sounds like shit lmao - this was such a great deep dive into the best bass house artist out there :) learned a ton from the watch!

[@RipLxrd]

Aye bro, can you make a music tutorial like Papa Khan titled Runaway or Get to U?

[@CodeDisease]

[@afonsoestrabico2130]

you look like a obsidian(organization type shit) youtuber i saw once

[@Lu_Cidtrip]

buy FL once, update for life... spend 800 bucks on ableton, then another 800 after they come out with a new version? no thank you.

[@conorcrabtree1620]

ableton better

[@illford6921]

Thea but I prefer Ableton workflow and plugin wise so idk. Even then it's not like Id have to update that much

[@maxmeyer6395]

fl - child daw :)

[@maxmeyer6395]

You only pay an upgrade price of 50€ per new version of Ableton every 3-4 years...

[@Lu_Cidtrip]

@@maxmeyer6395 sure if that makes you feel better, the platinum records made on it would say otherwise

Be sure to caption your videos, KZbin is global

[@PermissionToMeow]

Just a note, because I used to mispronounce words this very same way in the past.. but it’s pronounced “an-tiff-uh-nee.” Sorry for being that guy! 😬

[@Kolonel_Panik]

I don't understand the hate on FL. It's a very good DAW especially for new producers or producers on a budget. All the complaints about Abelton workflow being better than FL boils down to producers inability to devise a workflow themselves. It's just a dumb as the Mac vs Windows debate. The reality is that a good producer can use any DAW and make great music. Stop focusing on stuff like software and start focusing on just making good music using the tools you can afford and are comfortable using.

[@ashFB2B]

FL child daw.... look to cartoon grapfix to make kid producer happy like children show.. FL cartoon world with rainbow unlike ableton with dark corridorr and raelistic OTT .. FL like playhouse. FL playor run from abltn fear of dark world and realism

[@Bizzen2007]

anti phony lol

[@ashFB2B]

:)

[@Karabanka]

Anyone can make this kind of song, I don't see what's special about it. Besides, the Vox K-pop vocal pack could only be used so poorly. :d

[@ashFB2B]

cool :) 👍
