It’s because of the title of this video that I learned about The Band CAMINO, and I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have discovered them now. Haven’t been able to stop jamming them since this video came out. Also, you’re sick at everything you do Austin! Best music channel on RUclips!!!
Bro THANK YOU OMG. I've been looking for pop/rock production tutorials over the last year, and again literally just a few nights ago I went on a hunt yet again to find resources and there's barely anything. Dude I love you thank you so much!
youre like max martin on youtube!! thats amazing bro! AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!! dude you killed it i dont know how you can imagine all thinks that put on the track, bro wow i'm really exited, its amazing, amazing, AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
Hey Austin could you make some type of video on instrument selection/arrangement please? I find I get frustrated sometimes when looking for or creating cool sounds. Thanks!
Love the variety that this type of sound offers your channel. I'm all about the regular pop music you produce, but I really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the next one!
Dude.. Been looking everywhere for a good tutorial on how to make a decent "plucky bass" exactly like the one you described. Would be sick if you could show how you do it!
Awesome Tutorial Austin, its amazing how many new ideas I got just by watching you go through all your settings and Arrangement. Just pure Inspiration 🙌🏻
This is amazing bro! Great song and production tips. Could you PLEASE do an episode like this one for how to make a song like the band October Ends? They have some of the most interesting productions I've heard in a while! You can check Of Stars, Destroy Us All and Play Time.
Watching this video now to learn a bit more about production and love this song! Been a fan of these guys since it came out. Love to know you were the producer behind it =!
2 questions: 1) do you actually double the vocals or just duplicate the vocal track?, and 2) what is your opinion on increasing gain on "ear candy"? - I loved what you added but personally I would have featured it a little more
damnn this is great! I have a question, do you usually do any EQ in the percs (snare and kick) you are layering? it seems like you just throw it all on the top of each other and it simply works lol
When you’re layering, you most definitely need to EQ the layers. Taking out frequencies in the layers makes the track sound cleaner. Not EQing the layers will make your track sound super muddy
Maybe a Make Pop Music Video from scratch, a empty project to see all the recording process. By the way you make nice tunes, thanks to show us all your tricks.
Hi Austin! it'd be cool if you do a guide on pop drums specifically, like sounds/samples i noticed loads of new records (5SOS, Troye) have this kind of new approach on production that i cant figure out so i'd love to hear your perspective. Much love!
its so nice to have someone explain why he added something, like the synths when i adda new pad synths or pluck i usually just copy the original midi without changing it on the new sound, might actually try making it only be present on some parts of the original midi
Awesome material!!! Really great stuff!!! One question: Do you use only INSERT-effects? Is it because of the sound? I use a lot of VST-instruments in my tracks and using send-effects saves me a lot of CPU-power (which is important in my case). another thing I mentioned following the video very careful: Your tempo is really impressive - especially the zooming !!! I admire that. But maybe you want to try out this shortcut: Strg-click the solo-button of a track if you want to have only this in solo mode alone. You often go up to the "solo-all"-button if you have several tracks in solo mode to reset the all solo-settings. Then you select one track in solo-mode. Just use the shortcut above. By the way - there is a also a shortcut to "un-Solo" all tracks (and I use it quite often).
Dude I love this! It's really insightful to see how you approach a song. Like I'm hella inspired. 👏😤🎶🔥 && for anyone scrolling in the comments-- I have so many questions that maybe you could help with or maybe are looking for the same answer! Like How do "crush" the sound? You kept using that term? And when you layered the left and right guitar- did you just duplicate one guitar take and planned it left & the other right? Or was it two separate takes? Also - how do you manage to have so many tracks and layers without it being to loud? What is your exporting process?? Damn I actually have so many more questions & idk if its been explained in other vids😅 Absolutely love this channel & ima go follow you on insta too - keep up the hard work!!
Colton Waters hey man! Usually when you’re “crushing” a sound you’re processing that sound with saturation/distortion. you could also “crush” a sound by compressing the hell out of it! when layering guitars, vocals, whatever, to get them wider you have to change something about one of the 2 channels. So yes you could do a retake (which is the most natural way to make something wider IMO), you could change the timing of the right or left side by a few ms (Haas effect) or you could even play with the eq, reverb, pitch a little bit so it doesn’t sound the same as the other side. Just panning a mono sound left and right only makes it louder, not wider! Hope I was of help :)
Hey! Thanks so much! For the crushed vocals, I've done it in a few tutorials. I typically distort the vocals, then filter out everything but the mids, then throw on doubler to spread it out. The left and right guitars are all tracked 2 times. You can't just duplicate and pan because it will phase out and come back to the middle. Setting the gain right, using panning, and using spatial effects like delay and reverb give every element their space in a 3d box. I try not to have stuff overlapping with frequencies, placement on the sound stage, or at the front or back of the mix.
By crush, I think he either means using a plugin called Camel Crusher, or using a bitcrusher, which most DAWs (digital audio workstation) have stock. For your second question, you shouldn't just duplicate and pan, it's much better to re-record a left and right take so you don't have phase cancellation. For that last one, you just have to pan and manage volume so no one track is too loud--hope that's helpful man!
Are you using groups or VCA? Are you using parallel comp, or stacking drums is just enough? And one more - is there any fast way to make vocal reverse in cubase? I lov your channel ! Rly great!
Groups mostly I rarely parallel compress drums, but sometimes I’ll do bus compression Yes, just chop the syllable you want to reverse, add a bunch of reverb, render in place. Then highlight the rendered reverb vocal hit, click process, click reverse. Takes me 6 seconds with my quick key commands
This was a bunch of stuff layered! This particular track used a bunch of samples from our packs Dark Pop and Nashville, and then I had a Superior Kick and Snare tucked in pretty lightly for some realism. Lately I've just been using our new Sour Candy kit for all acoustic drums! Check the How To Make Pop Punk video on our channel to hear those with some gnarly processing!
hey austin, the big retro pad in the chorus, was that just a preset on serum or did you make it? If so what are the chances you could show us how to make that kind of retro pad?
Hello. Great video! I have a questions. Do you self make all production/compose or you attract someone for example record guitars/drums and ect? And second how long do you usually make production one song like that? Best regards)
Normally I’ll do anything myself. If I ever hire out a session musician I will credit them. For this song everything was me and the band I was tracking.
I refer to 808s loosely as any decay sub bass patch. Technically an 808 is the classic Roland sample, but everyone I know to now just refers to any similar decaying bass patch as an 808 for ease of understanding.
Hey that's us!! 🔥🖤
absolute babes
Fuckin sick track my dudes
awesome track! thanks for the dissection :)
You guys are sick! Awesome song
The guitar in this is so special to me. I’m truly inspired
It’s because of the title of this video that I learned about The Band CAMINO, and I can’t tell you how thankful I am to have discovered them now. Haven’t been able to stop jamming them since this video came out. Also, you’re sick at everything you do Austin! Best music channel on RUclips!!!
Would love a video on indie pop (Empire of the Sun, Miami Horror, Future Islands etc)
That s a legit request!
Yes!!! 👏🏽👏🏽🔥🔥🔥
EOTS!!!!
Empire sun for sure!
Also would love to see that :)
This is hype. So cool to see your skills applied to a different type of pop. Awesome! Thanks man!
Seeing other producers using Cubase is so refreshing
Honestly I'm just here trying to find more The Band Camino content
Bro THANK YOU OMG. I've been looking for pop/rock production tutorials over the last year, and again literally just a few nights ago I went on a hunt yet again to find resources and there's barely anything. Dude I love you thank you so much!
youre like max martin on youtube!! thats amazing bro! AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!!! dude you killed it i dont know how you can imagine all thinks that put on the track, bro wow i'm really exited, its amazing, amazing, AMAZIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING
Hey Austin could you make some type of video on instrument selection/arrangement please? I find I get frustrated sometimes when looking for or creating cool sounds. Thanks!
I have never been so excited for a vid!!!! THANK U
Been waiting for this one! Big ol' drums and guitar
Probably your best mix I’ve heard so far. Every element is absolutely beautiful.
Would love a video on "How to mix a rock/metal song" (Breaking Benjamin, Evanescence, Nickelback)
Love the variety that this type of sound offers your channel. I'm all about the regular pop music you produce, but I really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the next one!
This is the one I've been waiting for. Thank you dude. Great content as always.
Dude.. Been looking everywhere for a good tutorial on how to make a decent "plucky bass" exactly like the one you described.
Would be sick if you could show how you do it!
The song is super dope. I love the energy on the lead vocals and the creativity in the instrumentals.
Awesome Tutorial Austin, its amazing how many new ideas I got just by watching you go through all your settings and Arrangement.
Just pure Inspiration 🙌🏻
This is amazing bro! Great song and production tips. Could you PLEASE do an episode like this one for how to make a song like the band October Ends? They have some of the most interesting productions I've heard in a while! You can check Of Stars, Destroy Us All and Play Time.
Wow that’s some amazing production, super impressed. Bought 3 packs from your website before the video was even over! Great stuff, just subscribed
Austin, you totally slayed this bro. Just an epic piece of work!
Watching this video now to learn a bit more about production and love this song! Been a fan of these guys since it came out. Love to know you were the producer behind it =!
You can produce some songs with your voices doing it in this kind of style, so cool to see u know bmth 🥺
I started as a metal producer actually! Hahaha
Make Pop Music I read you were in a metal band what was it called would be interested to hear it!
@@jyoutube1233 we were called Nightmares Never Sleep. Lolol enjoy the cringe fam.
Great from start to finish, from performances to production.
I love these videos
That's really hype! thanks for showing us the process behind the song 🙌 it's really helpful and inspirational!
Would you do demo listens with your subscribers?
just loved it! Please keep uploading videos like this. God bless you!
Why every time I watch Austin's video I fall in love once?
Yeees I needed this! I would be interested in taking a look at your serum bass
Great track ! I do love that bridge with the cutted guitars.
Excellent work Austin!
Love it. Nice work!
This is GOLD ! Really inspiring, thank you man
thats awesome that The Band Camino is referenced
Love your channel! Thanks for the great vids
2 questions: 1) do you actually double the vocals or just duplicate the vocal track?, and 2) what is your opinion on increasing gain on "ear candy"? - I loved what you added but personally I would have featured it a little more
Was great to watch you work on this. I would love to see a hip hop pop type beat
Hey man! Loved the video :) Would be keen to see how you made that jumpy bass too!
Love this content Austin - thanks for all the production techniques, more power to you brother! Subbed, liked!
So sick!
dope tut! thanks Austin
Great video. Would love to see a tutorial on that bass thing you were talking about!
damnn this is great! I have a question, do you usually do any EQ in the percs (snare and kick) you are layering? it seems like you just throw it all on the top of each other and it simply works lol
When you’re layering, you most definitely need to EQ the layers. Taking out frequencies in the layers makes the track sound cleaner.
Not EQing the layers will make your track sound super muddy
This guy can have like 3-4 tracks and already make it sound like a proper full track, like damn he’s good!!
Ik it’s not fair
This channel!!! I love
Maybe a Make Pop Music Video from scratch, a empty project to see all the recording process. By the way you make nice tunes, thanks to show us all your tricks.
Love these kind of videos from you keep it up
Great video! Wish I understood all that you talk about in this video.
I LOVE this video, thank you for your work🙌🙌
I love this song!!! wow this is so cool to see how its made
Hi Austin! it'd be cool if you do a guide on pop drums specifically, like sounds/samples
i noticed loads of new records (5SOS, Troye) have this kind of new approach on production that i cant figure out so i'd love to hear your perspective. Much love!
Dayumm. SKILLS!!!
Dope production
Nailed it.
Hi Austin, I was wondering if you rememebr wich drum library did you use in this song? sounds awesome!!
Great, hope you can make more tutorials like this
Do you use a Mac? And what DAW is this? For some reason I thought you used to use Logic Pro! (Huge fan of your work btw)
Love the airy pluck, Is there a tutorial for that sound?
Please, I need the airy pluck, it sounds awesome!!!
its so nice to have someone explain why he added something, like the synths when i adda new pad synths or pluck i usually just copy the original midi without changing it on the new sound, might actually try making it only be present on some parts of the original midi
Crazy good.
awsome song!! do you send your vocalsto dealy chain or you just delay it sperately?
Awesome material!!! Really great stuff!!!
One question: Do you use only INSERT-effects? Is it because of the sound? I use a lot of VST-instruments in my tracks and using send-effects saves me a lot of CPU-power (which is important in my case).

Amazing !!!

What kind of acoustic drum sounds do you use for this kind of material? In particular the snare! Sounds so sick

So inspiring Bro, thanks! Do you think Cubase is better for music production than Logic?
great video ! would be really interesting to learn more about plucky bass
Here's a cool pluck bass tutorial I found today ruclips.net/video/lZPz_eV7Iz4/видео.html
@@vishnuvardhanreddy5588 thank you, appreciate it
I love the production on this! Good song! What does the (R) stand for in some of your track names?
Thanks! It just means rendered. It was a printed file.
Your video is awesome
Would you do a video on how to mix virtual instruments/midi to make them sound good and useable?
perfect
Can you upload how you arrange from the very begining including how you set up all those tracks？
hey austin, the big retro pad in the chorus, was that just a preset on serum or did you make it? If so what are the chances you could show us how to make that kind of retro pad?
Yo brother which software you used ?
Would love a tutorial on those jumpy rolling basses
First pop rock song tuitorial
YES 🔥
Pleeeeease do a tutorial on the Jumpy Bass such a sweet sound!
Hello. Great video!

Can you do something like good 4 u by Olivia Rodrigo? Please please please
where do you get all those ideas and how long does it take you to do a song like this ?
We did this whole song from start to finish in a 6 hour session, including all the tracking.
@@austinhullmusic no way
i want that tutoral of the jumpy basses, PLEASEEEEEE
you're the best
Nice song, nice tutorial. But isn't an 808 a drum machine? You mention an 808 several times. Should't it be a 303?
I refer to 808s loosely as any decay sub bass patch. Technically an 808 is the classic Roland sample, but everyone I know to now just refers to any similar decaying bass patch as an 808 for ease of understanding.
