How to make aa track ( and not a loop):
Make a loop
build up drums
Make drop
Don't finish, plan to return to it
Never return to it
Perfect atl title
Literally, this
Hahaha I wonder how the tracks of all the people calling this helpful turned out..
THat's not a track, it's the same stupid loop repeated more times with different effects on it.
Julian Wollmann woosh
I was recently diagnosed with a cholesteatoma in my ear and have been progressively losing my hearing and your story of hearing loss has given me a different outlook on my career of 11 years as a musician. Thanks Andrew 🙏🏽
I hope you manage to deal with that. Its fucking tough to lose something you took for granted for all your life.
Went through something kinda similar but different. It stays with you but sooner or later you will find the energy to accept it and push on.
i really hope it gets better its not the same but for 3 yrs i had alopecia i was only 12 when it first happened and it was a bad but i also realized the value of accepting what i couldnt change and as i came to accept it , it got better.Eventhough what you are going through is alot more serious i really hope you can get through it and persevere.
jesus cabrera Beethoven composed while he was deaf if it makes you feel better
jesus cabrera. If you understand musical theory then just be the next Beethoven. Even if you become tone deaf, the only limit that puts on you is the one you let it. Maybe you'll have to get a second person's opinion before you make your music public, maybe you won't be able to play properly without slipping out of beat, but you can work around that if you, say, got something which shook against you hand that was set to the same tempo everone else was using. You can do it and let nobody, not even yourself, tell you otherwise.
Sorry if that sounded cheesy, but I mean every word.
Look into bone conduction, it might be able to help.
A cool challenge might be to loop nothing. Change 1 thing/everything as the song goes, but at the end you have something that doesnt fit with the first thing, but each section fits with the previous section.
That sounds like a really cool idea! I might use this idea! Every measure a slight difference would be really sick!
And then, let the last section resolve perfectly back to one final repeat of the first section... I love this structure
Aaand this is serialism.

its the same as creating music... learn the fx..apply ur taste... creatives create
MASTERCLASS
I asked him a while ago to explain his video remixing procedures to no reply. :( I really want to know.
Heck yeah. I was thinkin dang he put alot of effort in to this video. My creativity would have died after chopping all those samples, that was alot work too lol
Loay Katarya ur the guy that sent in the 500 LL? Lol
My favourite thing about watching you is how you make sure we all kind of understand what you're doing even those of us who don't know anything about music production beyond "it sounds good"
GOLDEN TIPS FROM THE GOLDEN BOY
Imaginary Ambition oh hey, make how to Andrew Huang.
how to andrew huang
COME BACK TO US
Andrew - Wanted to thank you for the sub and also to tell you that I learn so much from your channel. Music-wise and video-creating-wise. My son has been a fan of yours for years and freaked out when I told him you subbed. :) Thanks for making REALLY GOOD CONTENT!
You're my inspiration to keep pursuing my dream of being a musician. I almost gave up singing 3 years ago when my parents told me that I didn't have what it takes, and that it would be a waste of my life to pursue something as stupid as music. Then, in that darkness, I found your videos. They made me see that, even if I don't get rich, even if I don't become a famous musician, even if the only person who hears my music is me, it will all be worth it to create something I'm proud to call mine. Stay awesome Andrew, and keep inspiring!
it's never a waste if it's fun and doesn't harm other people. may your joy for music never vanish! here's to doing what you love! (is that correct english?^^)
VIBESSS!! Keep it up Jerry!
If you're happy then keep on at it 😂
Jerry Kolbush Keep doing your jobs, money flows in
Well, look at it this way. In their free time, most people spend a significant portion of their lives consuming art (music, TV, movies, etc). What you do is create art. If I have 4 hours of free time in a given night, I could watch a few episodes of whatever, and get some enjoyment. If I used 3 of those hours to create music and 1 hour to watch one episode of whatever, I would get some enjoyment and feel proud that I did some creation rather than purely consumption.
That drop flows really nicely. Looking forward to seeing how you made that!
HEy its gabe miller love ur music man!
Hey, thanks!!
This is something I struggle with SO much and I'm so glad to finally have found the resources to help me. I can't even tell you how many FL studio projects I have saved which is just one tiny part of a song with layers that sound good but they get abandoned because I can't figure out how to turn them into a full song... You are the best!!!
same!!!!
I'm all for splitting songs into multiple videos, means more room to go into depth!
Really enjoyed this video!
Yo it’s ockeroid
o c k e r o i d
the weird part is that all those random samples actually work together
you sir are amazing
You made your microwave look more expensive than my car
Holy mac and cheese, Andrew Huang lovehearted my comment on my 21st birthday! The perfect gift!
happy birthday
The new evolution of human kind. Microwaves made by Lamborghini. And happy birthday!!
The kinda sad, kinda hilarious part about that is that rich sickos would surely buy a lambo nuke just because it has that damn bull shield on it. Plus it would probably be a self driving, aerodynamic, candy-apple-red drone that would deliver your food piping hot at 0-60 in 6 seconds. The epitome of lazy luxury. (wtf my brain? what is wrong with you??)
Jemma Pellemma calm down
It's just refreshing to watch a talented person doing well on RUclips without controversy and lazy content. Thank you
Damn, it’s weird hearing Kobe again in that sample.
I was just thinking that!
I knew this comment would be here
:(
the feeling of yelling kobe in an act of shooting will never be the same :
You are honestly my favourite youtuber. You deserve so much more recognition than you have already. I've told every musician I know about you and gotten them to enjoy your videos, but I feel like more musicians should be aware of this channel because of your talent and useful tips
JOSH SAINT ditto. I basically make my friends watch a andrew huang video every time we hang out
Baqca Sanke haha well I guess I'm not alone in that!
I think this might be, musically, my favourite fan collab. That sample section was so much fun!
This!
Agreed. Although the Dubstep-please-wear-something-bright-and-film-yourself-doing-something-stupid one was great too
Noah Luard
I was in that one :D
i would listen but im too distracted by his geometric eyebrows
what has been seen, cannot be un-seen :/
TRIIIIIANGULAR EYEBROWS!!
WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT.
And that that point, we all realized. There's no going back.
Lmao. That's the first thing I saw
didn't even notice until I saw this comment kek
I've a degree in music composition and it still helps to be told "just tweak a little, take what you have and flip it" when I get stuck in a rut. Thanks a lot for this video, a year after it's out.
Man... that´s one hell of a B section! so creative.
EpicZEVEN That B section should get promoted to A.
tichu7 Then it wouldn't be surprising.
i dont even make music, but i always watch your videos. Theyre just so damn entertaining!
2,043,679 views start making music :)
Aacatl Campos I tried before, but i ultimately lost interest.
What program did you use? I lost interest until I found a good program the use, then it became really fun!
Cheesy Animation well I tried using fl studio, but then I found that it was extremely difficult to use so I lost interest. Jesus, I’m lazy af.
2,043,679 views i use fl studio too, ya just gotta keep practicing and watchin tutorials ykno
Something I thought coming back to this: sometimes it's also okay to make more repetitive loopier songs. Some of my favourite hip hop beats have the same loop running through the thing while adding some elements later and dropping some out. Then there are of course more minimal styles of techno.
If you're going to loop for a long time though, make sure your loop is absolutely amazing so people don't get bored of it.
I would say switch it up every 8 bars, even if it’s slight or so. Nobody likes listening to copy paste.
Great advice, I 100% condone having differing parts in songs and not just having loops! So many good loops go nowhere and turn me off to what could've been an absolute banger.
Splitting up the videos to make more content sounds perfect, honestly. That way I can share the goofy-yet-amazing end-product and my friends who might get interested in the production can watch it afterwards, we get to spend more time with the process, and you can have more audience interaction with the track since you'll have more time. It only sounds positive to me.
I'm drowning in vibes
I went threw about 40 of your videos to find this one to prove to my wife that you microwaved a snack with action shots in high quality video equipment
For the longest time I thought my production method was whack af, but after seeing ur intro I’m glad to see that I’m not the only one that dicks around when making music. Ur a great fucking help when it comes to producing and I’m honestly great full 4 u
Sometimes I just change the way the chord is being played. For example, say I've simply got a chord playing on beat 1 each measure, maybe I could play it as an arpeggio, or start with the lowest note and fill out the chord the rest of the notes, etc. It's nice and simple while still being a recognizable difference.
Inverting the chords can work nicely too.
If you're stuck with purely just with editing midi.
Making overlapping stairs can give a sense of strumming motion
your versatility is insane
that kobe at 7:40 got me like BRUH :'(
The video editing on the sample parts goes way under appreciated. Amazing.
Somehow you constantly provide all around good knowledge that anyone who's into making music can benefit from hearing. Great stuff!
your legitametly my only reason to have internet. we hqd a task in school where we had to talk about our hero or whatever and i did you. i got a standing ovation. thank you

Really? Correcting forms of you're on a nice, sincere comment?
sure that happened
always blowing my mind with these tracks!!!!
The demo vocal actually sounds like you’re singing in Korean. Even though it’s total gibberish. It works.
Also, love the zelda/Majora's Mask samples at 7:52, really first the "J&K" vibe you were taling about at the beginning of the video.
God why are all these videos so useful
Beware EvaBear at first thought this said awful instead of useful and I was about to go off
...yeah, I'm quickly realizing that Huang is a rather generous character√
I don't mean to start a fight, but (oh boy) I have not learned how to make a track instead of a loop... Sure I now know how to make a cool snare buildup and I can replace parts of a melody with a more bland sound, but what if I dont want to do either of these because they dont go well with the project I'm struggling with?
Then, Kilian... you should watch the upcoming continuations of this Episode. Our Fearless Leader made mention of just exactly what you're describing & concluded, that in order to mitigate this inevitability... there would be multiple installments :]
🙂
Now show us how to do a C-Section... Wait a second.
Edit: Thanks for the likes, and wow I got noticed by Andrew senpai
*Gentle applause*
I don't get it.
A Commenter It’s okay, me niether
Carl Millberg A C-section is a surgery that removes a baby alive if ever there are complications during the brithing process.
But seriously though, I have been stuck on a track that changes through multiple different sections for a long time. A video on how to arrange a track with more than a couple sections would be awesome!

Andrew Your Videos Are So Much Fun!!!
As a producer myself, (more along the lines of ambient music though) I love these step by step videos. I'm totally cool with waiting for part 2. Love it!
My favourite channel on RUclips posted again!
graham milne I thought Logan Paul stopped posting videos?
Lol
Caution: Epilepsy might be triggered at 8:33
My head feels heavy after.
One thing I see myself doing alot is that if I have a bridge vocal part or melody building up towards the climax, or the drop if you will, I'll add the bridge lead melody and maybe also the chord progression as a B-part to the drop. So if I've got a bridge with vocals and a piano followed by a drop with vocals some heavy drums, a bass and a pad I'll follow that up by replaying the bridge but with all the instruments of the drop. I'm really new to producing music and I'm sure many others do this too. Love your videos and your music! Cheers

"Idears" - Andrew Huang, February 12th, year 2018, on the practical importance of producing sonic notion memorandums, and the following exposition detailing the unintelligible nature of vowels and consonants thrown together in a melodic fashion.
THIS IS PERFECT! Been struggling with this for a while 😝
Your ability to make me uncontrollably shout out, "Why are you so f***cking amazing???" is beyond my comprehension. 🤘🎼
8:36 can't believe this guy have just invented 100 gecs
4:40 when i have a very loop based track, i sometimes add a copy layer of whatever the chord instruments are, and add extra reverb of phaser something to make it a little more ethereal. I also have experimented with weaving drum tops in and out of a song and thats alot of fun
Oh my god, I had been looking for this video for years OH YEEEAH TY
I love that I looked at that shot off your roof and went "Oh, does he live in Toronto?" And yes. Yes you do.
Duuude... I just wanted to say thanks to you. Your videos have been inspirational to me ever since I first found you channel a few years ago.
Getting stuck with loops is something that always stops me from progressing with songs and I have just watched 3 videos from you, some of them more recent than this one, and I am actually excited to try out some of the things that you suggested on the videos I just watched.
Your channel is great, your videos are fun to watch and always dynamic, interesting and rich in content. You are very talented and I also love your music and the sounds and beats you come up with.
I've obviously become a bit of a fan, so thanks man. You are awesome.
Another really useful device for B sections is changing the harmonic rhythm, especially if you have a flexible melody that works in different contexts. Just shortening or expanding the underlying harmony, it can be really fun and surprising to hear how a melody changes without really changing at all!
You might get this pretty often... but you're one of my favorite musicians :)
One subtle, vastly underused technique is side-chaining bass to drums. It gives the track a little pumping/swing while allowing the kick transients to really punch through. Also lets the 2 bus compressor to work less on huge peaks, allowing it to do what it should do--fill in the track and make it sound finished. As always Andrew, accurate insight, entertaining production and a positive vibe. Subbed.
Just came back and got banged with heavy nostalgia when I used to watch Andrew everyday in 2018 :( I am coming back
Me a week ago: hum i made this cool thing but it's a loop how do i make it into a song
Me after watching this video: i must inflict harm to collect sounds and make music
So many vibes. Awesome video Andrew!
Great work. And sick editing...that must have taken forever
If your snare is on 2 and 4, switch to a halftime feel (snare on 3), and if your snare starts on 3, try 2 and 4 for a new section
Edit: obv you have to change he groove a bit, so mess with kick and hats too
"oh here comes the awfull demo vocals"
*procedes so sound better vocals than me in all of my life time*
Holy shit I've been making nothing but loops for the last few days and it's been really frustrating, thanks for doing this.
I'm right there with you. Except change the last few days to the last few years.
That B section blew my mind man, so much work but the result is soooo cooool, congrats
The new trend is:
(insert 90's snare buildup here)
_LUNCH MONTAGE!!!_
Dude! You are so talented!! I mean, I know this for years now but every time I watch a new video I'm thinking "Damn, he's so talented"... haha every single time
He has a schrödinger's moustache, it there as well as it is not there, it's distracting as well as it is not distracting xD

badasssss
Whaaaat? Didn't think I'd scroll this far into the comments! Good luck with life, wherever you are Tobuscus.

dont expose yourself here toby
tobuscus you return
You should make a track out of car sounds. It could be the purr of a gorgeous super-car or something fun like buying an old piece of scrap and going at it with a sledgehammer. Either way, you would get some really awesome samples and have a great time.
Dude check out The Art of Noise "Closer to the edge" its from the 80's but the intro to the track is what you described
You should checkout a song called 'Jailbreak the Tesla' by Injurt reserve. Its an industrial sounding rap song which uses some interesting car samples
he looks like a real-life sims character
Love the last drop section with the girl going "HA-" "HUGH-" so rythmically :D
I've never seen more epic leftovers than I just did in this video... wow
7:09 Nintendo wants to know your location
Andrew never disappoints with his uploads absolutely amazing 😇😄 can't wait for part 2
Love that new track!!! such a good deep beat
lol
I cant really pinpoint it but your videos are getting better and better in terms of enjoyability and humor. Better editing and more mature as a whole - technically interesting while being a bit gimmicky, unlike your older ones where I have to admit sometimes I cringed. Keep on doing the good work man!
i think you just solved my problem! time to finish my hit !
4:46 my high school art teacher was a nut... he used to place random objects on the table at school for us to sketch early in the class to gauge peoples general abilities and one day I came in and he had some different cleaners and glue and random stuff and said
"Alright everybody get in here and sit down and draw this meth lab"
just reminded me of that.
This is so sick. Definitely was not expecting the drop to be like that after hearing the original samples. lol. Great work and Im looking forward to more of this track!
DUDE!!! What a cool tune you meticulously edited there!!! So funky.
love you man
00:20 That beat though... I really like it. I'm guessing it's something unfinished though.
Ahh nice! I've heard the song before and i've heard the name of the song before too but i didn't actually know that it was available to listen to. Anyways thanks for replying c:
I litteraly thought it was Koan Sound before seeing your answer Andrew. But I do love the style
What was it? I can't see the reply now for some reason..
6:45 I just realized I’m a fan of his actual music now
and that is why self promotion is very needed
Thank you for leaving this whole paper trail of tutorials - these have helped me immensely go from twiddling my thumbs in confusion/frustration to now having some kind of "protocol" for breaking through when stuck!
ANDREW. This video is so relevant it HURTS.
That beat made of samples was the best one I've ever heard from you.
I have 1000 loops. Adhd. They're never getting fleshed out.
*Not with that attitude.*
some questions to ask: What genre are they? do they fall into EDM? What is the typical format people are using? Listen, Learn, and copy it. Pick a genre when starting a song. if you just see what happens when you create its likely you will end up with a 1000 loops that go nowhere.
Making loops has literally been the only thing I have done for the last year.. not because I want to, but when I make the ''drop'' or chorus or whatever, all of my creativity goes lost and I end up making new loops.. I have way to many decent loops that could turn in to good music if I was a little bit more creative
Mura Masa and Flume are the two masters when it comes to making a track very interesting within each new section of a song.
When I get in that rut, I start choppin tf outta everything i can and add filtered risers lol.
AJ Sagar hahaha
@@wombra8314 it's the truth lol, especially if it's a track with guitar. that's gettin chopped tf up brotha. and probably distorted, because who doesn't like a heavy electric guitar? *throws out youtube university music degree* im as trash as my degree
The physical pain part got me 😂
A thing I like to do is doubling or halving the chord progression. So if you're playing a chord for 1 bar(before changing), change it so you play it for half a bar or vice versa. It's an easy way to give the track a dynamic and it can very easily inspire you to do something different with the melody and the lyrics.
also works well in conjunction with changing chords
As a Keystep user I appreciate your rhythmic editing and use of the "turn on" light animation on your Keystep at 2:24. :)
That drop is eargasmic
“Thats frcknn FUNny” 😂
died at that comment
Tbh, leftovers have never looked so appetizing... That dope music and video effects actually make it look really good XD
Been feeling out of the loop lately, this video instills the confidence I needed! Thank you so much Andrew!
2:22 begins to say ffs and then it cuts lol
Watching this made me feel less horrible about putting projects on hold for months at a time 🙏🏾
That drop is AMAZING 😂 I’m looking forward to seeing how you pieced that all together!
