honestly thats part of why i like Finneas' production/billie's music/ lots of weird little tidbits/samples that you dont hear in every other song that exists. It's what made Bury a Friend stand out when I first heard it even though I'm not a huge pop fan
i looooove when he breaks down billie’s songs. whenever i listen to them after he does this.. i pick up on the tinyyyy background things. it’s dope af.
dude when youre a producer this is just how you listen to ALL music lmao i cant help but visualize what the session looks like or how someone did something whenever i listen to music now. it becomes a curse because im not even listening to music for the music anymore im listening to try to figure out how they did something 😭😭
Just getting into her music, but it's pretty obvious that a huge portion of the sound is his. Sibling melding their creativity can create some really cool stuff and as a duo they hit gold. Love this
Finneas solo music is a lot more bland and nondescript to me, so I think Billie must be a big creative and conceptual voice, while finneas has more musical knowledge and ability.
I hope everyone here appreciate how incredibly invaluable is to have one of today's top producers to open up the session of such a succesful hit and just show it all to us. Back in the day aspiring producers would kill and could only dream to have access to information like this. Put it to good use! Is a good time to be producin'.
All thanks to the pandemic haha. These videos were around before but even more producers are now streaming since the pandemic started on how they make their tracks like disclosure for example

The merge of celebrity culture with social media is so intertwined now and so publically open, you get access to people's art so much more readily than years before.

It's really impressive to see a sister and brother who revolute the music industry by ignoring them all! Thank you for giving an old man so much hope for the future. Best productions for the last 20 years!
@@riosmicaela7794 his career as a producer. Because that’s what this video is about lol. Fans want him to have a solo career as big as billies. That just won’t happen.
It's surprising how open-doors he and Billie are about their recording secrets. There wa a time when some producers would kill you if you dared to leak their recordign sessions. Of course, knowing the ingredients of one dish doesn't make you a chef.
Cuz artists today vlog and no one expect the weekend and few other major acts are secretive. Studio session vlogs are common today. It’s not easy to become a producer so you can’t just copy it
I never understand what he’s talking about but it’s so interesting to see him breakdown how he makes the songs. Everytime he’s just like we thought of this and I’m like how???
Some people are clean and smell nice but just don’t comb their hair in the morning or do their makeup/shave. Looking natural doesn’t = to uncleanliness
Insane producer. The rawness and fearlessness is so inspiring. I love that they are just double recording the backing vocals in the classic way and hard pan them, instead of using a fancy plugin doing the job. Oh and thanks reminding me of Trilian.
@@isasecret it's ok if you don't like the songs but you know that's a pop song with the most boring and basic chord progression right? you either haven't heard enough of her songs or just don't know very much about music if you think that's her "not boring" song.
@@ulasonal I know few things about music since i produce for quite a while I meant vocal wise she has catchy melodies but nothing that hadn't been heard before as the other people commented most of her songs are monotonous dead whispery quiet slightly melodic like she has taken multiple xanax and recorded the songs it sounds like she doesnt even try to sing while in lovely she certainly sang very well imo it wasnt boring or anything like that hence the success of it
find these so inspiring: not dependent on fancy plug ins and not regurgitating the same pop production as everywhere else. + a genuinely real, nice guy, this is what we need to stay inspired as artists!
"...which was really appealing to me so I just threw it into the recording". It is so incredible to watch him go through the process. Just these incredibly innocuous things that they so effortlessly put together. It's like watching a world class athlete making something look easy that you think, 'yeah, I could do that' which, of course, you cannot just 'do that' lol
Mic positioning and acoustics.. I know people mentioned specific mics or premaps and all. Not saying those won't help but you can even get away with a USB mic now a days.
if anyone is asking, Program or in Audio terms DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) is Logic which is an Apple program and simply is the bigger brother to Garageband. In the Audio industry Pro-Tools is the most complex and main standard but Logic holds its own with what it has and can do. Obiviously many other programs out there with different preferences for everyone like rap, trap or hip hop on FL Studio, EDM on Ableton, Cubase, Presonus Studio One slowly getting popular. I'm a Logic user as well and glad its one of the simpliest being a garageband upgrade but has what you need and one of my favorite producers Kygo is on Logic
It's so fascinating to watch an artist in his element, just creating and talking about the process. I am obsessed with the two of them and the synergy they have
I think everyone is underestimating the amount of talent Finneas got and how much work he puts into his and Billie's music so give this man some respect ❤️
I truly hope you never stop making these videos with Finneas, both he and Billie are so incredibly talented it feels almost illegal to see how they produce their masterpieces. I love it and it gives even more meaning to each song when you get to see what they went through to make it. THANK YOU!
Finneas is a real one. Billie is amazing too. I'm glad they're humble and they play off of each other. I really do feel that each of them is elevated by the other. Good stuff.
It's super interesting to see how many layers and components are mixed together to get this song. I have no clue on how to make music but I really get inspirierend for my own work by watching people in their very own profession. So thanks for this great insight.
Finneas, you are brilliant, so simple, yet what comes out of your creative process is Magic, love your Tove Lo work--- just awesome watching this! I do voiceovers not music, but your process is inspiring! thanks for sharing your work and not being closed off in discussing your process.
@@meriwoo7382 There are a lot of affordable mics with low self noise. I believe they did that entire first album with a tlm103, which is fairly expensive but not compared to the one they use here, but you could still get a fairly decent mic in the 500 range and pull it off, but she’s probably also singing fairly close to the mic, so you probably wouldn’t even have to turn it up that loud. I commented on here before I actually watched the video and saw he said they did use a 103 on this specific song. I’m an idiot lol
He is very humble and such an inspiration for me as a producer. I like the 'simplicity' of this arrangement, not many elements but working together perfectly.
Funny story, a couple months ago I was watching this video when I had a heart failure, and I couldn’t find this video ever since, but now that I’ve found it wanted to tell the story, I’m pretty much alive and got heart surgery, so I can watch the video without any worries
Finneas is so talented, I CANNOT. The way he produces song is always so smart, it’s always sooo complete, he is AMAZING. And he still always listens what Billie says, he’s humble, he lets his sister do whatever she wants (or almost ig 😂), and the end result is always a freaking masterpiece.
Ah...No! There are so much more talented musicians in the world, they are not grown up in a rich family with art and actors background. and they not got the luck with age of 13 of an A&R manager who breed them to that what they are today. it is not only talent, it is also a lot of luck and meeting the right people at the right place and the right time.
@@svenlorenz9429 they didn’t grow up wealthy. They were homeschooled, which gave them a lot of time to make music, and then when Billie had to stop dancing she started releasing music, and then when it started doing well she got a manager and started A&R sessions etc etc. Don’t try and take any credit away from them, they are undeniable talents.
Finneas has inspired so many of us producers, and sort of printed a statement in our heads that you can make great songs from your bedroom. That's a thought inducing thought.
The genius in a Billie Eilish song is that she can just basically mumble this simple low-energy stuff with not too many "frills" and people will buy it. It just shows that knowing your market is unbelievably important. Clever people.
I truly believe that all you have to do is record the song as well as you can (no bad edits, clean vocals), add a okay hook, and it'll sell. Billie is not good tho
Well, well! You've certainly mastered snarky condescension! Listen to me! I'm so much smarter than all these Gen Zs who adore this girl. Isn't it sad for you that none of them give a shit. Music I don’t like -- must be marketing hype or industry machinations. Music I do like = pure talent. See a problem here?
@@chrisdick2305 It's not sad for me mate. It's just not my thing. She's hugely overrated as a singer, but I do respect both Eilishes at understanding how to craft a song that fits what kids currently like.
@@IainFrame Hey, you're taste in music is yours to hold. I totally respect that. What tends to bug me is the extraordinary number of commenters who explain away other people's tastes as deficiencies in their brains or their ears. I'm a musician, and listen to a lot of classical music and a good deal of jazz. But it never occurs to me to get all superior about my musical choices. I have seen young people weeping uncontrollably when she sings these softly modulated songs. And they routinely tell her that her music has saved their lives. Although I really like some of their songs, I don't pretend to fully understand this generational passion. But I do admire it, and would never try to explain it away as some kind of aberration.
So cool to see it done on Logic.. not these mixing engineers that spend hours putting everything under the microscope. I’ll never make any $ with music, but I’m obsessed with listening, creating, trying to mix etc. Its beyond addictive.
hey don’t say you’ll never make money, if you keep working at it you def could. Even through something like fiver if you offered cheap mixes, production, stuff like that you could make some money and get better at whatever your doing too! Best of luck to you.
@@Dajtheartistt thanks for your kind words. it's been disappointing more than being rewarding. i walked away from music last year when engineer #5 didn't get it either. getting it to sound how it plays in my head is impossible. $30k of very hard earned dollars has been spent between two cd's. I gave up on the second one. It's exhausting..like a dog chasing its tail. Even if I had good mixes, I wouldn't know where to start to try to make $
@@J1Z06 try to do the engineering yourself or as get as good as you can, that might help with getting the sound that you want. Don’t get discouraged there’s lows and highs in this business
@@RoodyCall I tried to do it Myself. NG. Ran out of headroom. My goal is to have EVERYTHING audible. There are mixes out there I love. So it can be done. It’s simply an arm and a leg for Me and it’s like walking barefooted uphill on broken glass. Truly.
i love how the construction of the songs with the stop really represents the writing process they had as he explained, they stopped and came back to the song weeks, months later. clever
@@alana4697 It's just the way that she sings, feels good... The point where the first verse starts with all other elements stripped out kinda surprised me.
@@alana4697 Of course yes, the whole song is dope.... when the groovy claps are introduced, my head starts dancing ;) + The break where everything calms down and bouncy Trillian bass is added, gosh, pure eartreat
What a legendary producer. I would love to work with him in the future if I ever got the chance, but I know that may seem unrealistic at this point 💯💯🤝
"It kind of gave it some more Neck." LOL Now, that's a song-writer who knows his stuff right here. That's just beautiful. It needed some more Neck. I'd absolutely LOVE to write songs with you, man!
I love when Phineas breaks down everything and talks about it I am blind so I obviously can’t see the picture that’s going on the video should say but down his voice and the way he talks about music is the way I feel inside about music and now that I can’t do what he does because of my visual impairment I love how he explains everything and I just sit here in amazement at how things come to him and Billy are used dictation so apologies for any typos when he talks about music like this and breaks down everything and goes through all the beats in the creation of the sounds of the track it is like porn to a blind man!
@@seez6963 hey there sorry for the delayed response I’m still trying to get used to commenting back on RUclips videos. Being a blind person I have an iPhone that allows me to dictate everything and then my phone reads it back to me including surfing the Internet anything you can do on your phone my iPhone reads everything including what’s on the screen instead of just tapping things I have to double tap on things to activate it one touch on something on my phone reads it out he double tap activates what I’m trying to do. So for me to respond I dictate everything and my phone reads out your reply to me. Thank you for asking I do appreciate it. And yes I can answer back. LOL
This was great to watch, simply to see all the bits and pieces that are familiar to my own home recording process, knowing legit hits are being made with similar tools. It's very grounding. I love that he's using logic (which I use). I love that not all the regions are named "perfectly" (cuz sometimes ya just don't feel like it lol). I also gained more innerstanding around why some songs just may end up taking longer to make than others; like, I don't have to finish a whole song in a day or week or even a month (unless there's some necessary deadline). To just be like in the stew of creation and letting it come out as it should in the time it should... Yeah, I love that. I appreciate videos like these. I'm further inspired, as an artist and now a producer.
This is very helpful for getting better at track production and editing, especially with respct to vocals and layering harmonies. I also like how he goes into the creative thought process rather than pure technical aspects and shows how he blends the two in real-time as he's thinking and their recording. Definitely helped me get better, thanks Finneas!

I truly believe that all you have to do is record the song as well as you can (no bad edits, clean vocals), add a okay hook, and it'll sell. Billie is not good tho
Well, well! You've certainly mastered snarky condescension! Listen to me! I'm so much smarter than all these Gen Zs who adore this girl. Isn't it sad for you that none of them give a shit. Music I don’t like -- must be marketing hype or industry machinations. Music I do like = pure talent. See a problem here?
@@chrisdick2305 It's not sad for me mate. It's just not my thing. She's hugely overrated as a singer, but I do respect both Eilishes at understanding how to craft a song that fits what kids currently like.
@@IainFrame Hey, you're taste in music is yours to hold. I totally respect that. What tends to bug me is the extraordinary number of commenters who explain away other people's tastes as deficiencies in their brains or their ears. I'm a musician, and listen to a lot of classical music and a good deal of jazz. But it never occurs to me to get all superior about my musical choices. I have seen young people weeping uncontrollably when she sings these softly modulated songs. And they routinely tell her that her music has saved their lives. Although I really like some of their songs, I don't pretend to fully understand this generational passion. But I do admire it, and would never try to explain it away as some kind of aberration.
I'm so impressed and amaze by Billie and Finneas truly. No one can convince that they're not talented.
No ones trying to persuade ya 🤷🏽♂️
I love seeing that it took him some time to finish this. “And that’s as far as we got that day.” is something I need to be more comfortable saying.
he is so good at explaining what he does which shows how much he is into it and surrounds himself with it. so cool to see
So cool to see it done on Logic.. not these mixing engineers that spend hours putting everything under the microscope.
I’ll never make any $ with music, but I’m obsessed with listening, creating, trying to mix etc. Its beyond addictive.
hey don’t say you’ll never make money, if you keep working at it you def could. Even through something like fiver if you offered cheap mixes, production, stuff like that you could make some money and get better at whatever your doing too! Best of luck to you.
@@Dajtheartistt thanks for your kind words. it's been disappointing more than being rewarding. i walked away from music last year when engineer #5 didn't get it either. getting it to sound how it plays in my head is impossible. $30k of very hard earned dollars has been spent between two cd's. I gave up on the second one. It's exhausting..like a dog chasing its tail.
Even if I had good mixes, I wouldn't know where to start to try to make $
@@J1Z06 try to do the engineering yourself or as get as good as you can, that might help with getting the sound that you want. Don’t get discouraged there’s lows and highs in this business
@@J1Z06 come back bro
@@RoodyCall I tried to do it Myself. NG. Ran out of headroom. My goal is to have EVERYTHING audible. There are mixes out there I love. So it can be done. It’s simply an arm and a leg for Me and it’s like walking barefooted uphill on broken glass. Truly.
He's so freaking cool, genius, grounded, and talented.
Does anyone know what brand of static electricity Finneas is using on his hair? Would love to get some similar for myself! 😬
I believe it’s the static electricity from his pure musical creativity
this comment made me spit laugh thank you 🤣🤣
It’s called Super Saiyan 🌟
It amazes me how many layers of sound are there in each song they’ve made.
i love how the construction of the songs with the stop really represents the writing process they had as he explained, they stopped and came back to the song weeks, months later. clever
I need a Billie acoustic harmonised song
Her harmonies are incredible
at 4:46 when hes showing the claps he added he actually mutes them before he plays it 🤦🏼♂️
Oh damn So I wasn't actually deaf there
I think he meant to show what it was like without them
@seshnolan that’s the point 🤦
thats like saying “here is something fantastic that i added, but im not gonna let you hear it 🥰”
@@seshnolan a musician with less then 200 subscribers judging a musician who produced a multi grammy winning album, makes sense
What amazes me is how different each and every producer is
Major vocal stacking. Also, he has very good taste in sound selection for his basses and beats. Well done. Also, seems like a humble guy.
This episode helps a lot and is pretty informative, thanks again for these!
omg billie's harmonies
So talented. He's so down to earth. So cool too. Respect ✧
I love watching how Finneas works, the man's such an artist in his approach to studio work ❤
This is what makes me love producing. He produced Top 1 songs by himself and made it sound unique instead of going the "tried and true" way.
He couldn't even replicate the 'popular' sound if he tried.
Am I the only one that feels like they learned about everything in the song except for the vocal processing after watching this video?
Yeah barely any talk on the actual vocal production other than Billie's talent for harmonizing and layering. Don't know why they named it that
Haha, I really want to know as myself!
That "STOP" Line triggers me everytime
what the hell are u talking about
@@alana4697 It's just the way that she sings, feels good... The point where the first verse starts with all other elements stripped out kinda surprised me.
@@DuskLight haha i understand, i just asked that because it’s ironic that that’s the next line in the song and i wanted to ask u why too
@@alana4697 Of course yes, the whole song is dope.... when the groovy claps are introduced, my head starts dancing ;) + The break where everything calms down and bouncy Trillian bass is added, gosh, pure eartreat
@@alana4697 get my pretty name out of ur mouth
I want them to interview him for his song "Where the Poison is" it's such an interesting song.
He definitely just woke up from a solid nap on that red couch.
So interesting to hear some of the behind the scenes stuff! You guys make a great team! Keep up the good work!
What a legendary producer. I would love to work with him in the future if I ever got the chance, but I know that may seem unrealistic at this point 💯💯🤝
as someone who is literally dreaming of producing my own music this is SO. EXCITING.
"It kind of gave it some more Neck." LOL Now, that's a song-writer who knows his stuff right here. That's just beautiful. It needed some more Neck. I'd absolutely LOVE to write songs with you, man!
💎
I think both have changed the music world. Both inspire me on a completely different level!
this sibling make being nominated to a grammy look easy
I love when Phineas breaks down everything and talks about it I am blind so I obviously can’t see the picture that’s going on the video should say but down his voice and the way he talks about music is the way I feel inside about music and now that I can’t do what he does because of my visual impairment I love how he explains everything and I just sit here in amazement at how things come to him and Billy are used dictation so apologies for any typos when he talks about music like this and breaks down everything and goes through all the beats in the creation of the sounds of the track it is like porn to a blind man!
I'm curious- how did u write it?
Oh- I just realized they can't read my comment ooohh-
@@seez6963 they can read it, theres speech to text keyboard (not blind but i have it on mine) plus u can have ur phine ro read out stuff for u.
@@aneekarehan omg ty for educating me I never knew about this thing. 😃😮
@@seez6963 hey there sorry for the delayed response I’m still trying to get used to commenting back on RUclips videos. Being a blind person I have an iPhone that allows me to dictate everything and then my phone reads it back to me including surfing the Internet anything you can do on your phone my iPhone reads everything including what’s on the screen instead of just tapping things I have to double tap on things to activate it one touch on something on my phone reads it out he double tap activates what I’m trying to do. So for me to respond I dictate everything and my phone reads out your reply to me. Thank you for asking I do appreciate it. And yes I can answer back. LOL
Nobody:
Finneas master channel: *intense screaming*
Finneas master channel: what do you mean negative db?????
This was great to watch, simply to see all the bits and pieces that are familiar to my own home recording process, knowing legit hits are being made with similar tools. It's very grounding. I love that he's using logic (which I use). I love that not all the regions are named "perfectly" (cuz sometimes ya just don't feel like it lol). I also gained more innerstanding around why some songs just may end up taking longer to make than others; like, I don't have to finish a whole song in a day or week or even a month (unless there's some necessary deadline). To just be like in the stew of creation and letting it come out as it should in the time it should... Yeah, I love that. I appreciate videos like these. I'm further inspired, as an artist and now a producer.
This is very helpful for getting better at track production and editing, especially with respct to vocals and layering harmonies. I also like how he goes into the creative thought process rather than pure technical aspects and shows how he blends the two in real-time as he's thinking and their recording. Definitely helped me get better, thanks Finneas!
