Great video as always Alex! Your bootcamp is 100% worth it if anyone’s curious 💖
Glad you’re enjoying it! Thanks for popping in (:
@@AlexRome absolutely! I had my seven year old watch and even he could understand it and learned something. Thats how good you are. Einstein said, "If you cant explain it to a 6 year old, then you don't fully know it." Your'e a master at this 100% and you know whats up!
Creating a smurf account for self-glazing is crazy
Regardless how much music theory you think you know, a free guide with information is priceless. No matter how much I think I know, it's always good to hear from others perspective.
Honestly, the biggest problem I have been facing recently is that I've been starting my projects by creating melodies. When I move on to the drums, I end up failing to choose the right ones, and most of the rhythms and drums don't sound good to me. If you were to check my unfinished projects, I would say 80% are unfinished because of the drums. Thanks so much for this tip, Mr. Alex Rome. I'll adjust accordingly.
just for the sake of learning. even when im unhappy with a project (witch is basically all the time) i make it a habit of finishing it if i have spent more then a day on it. even if the end result isnt good ( it usually isnt) i feel that getting to the end stages helps me learn things i would have normally missed if i just tossed it out all together. for better or worse im not a profectionist so its not a big deal when i fail and i just move on.
Best producer with the kindest heart to share his knowledge with us 👍
”Let’s try this Reese base.
I hate it…” lmfao that shit got me 😂
The energey you bring into these videos is infectious dude. I love it and I've learned a lot from you. Don't change a thing man, you're crushing it
No other producer excited me about music like you do Mr Rome, you make producing fun Sir, thank you for art sake 🙏🏾
Isn't it beautiful??!! 😊.. just heaven 🤗👌
Alex throwing shade at the Reese. I love it! 😂
Great Job. Alex makes it look easy.
The best thing I ever seen on RUclips. So sorry I can’t buy course yet because of the suctions :(
best Music Production teacher to ever exist on this planet in this universe and others known or unknown
best producer tutorial videos around -- keep it up brother thank you!
Thanks for everything man...
Also nice thumbnail🔥 that smile looks genuine💙
One serious set of headphones
You know I just noticed those. Awesome 😅
It’s beautiful! ❤
you are the best youtube music teacher i have found so far. i feel like i can understand and i dont get bored. im a total noob, so what do i know. i hope one day i can make real good music... but sometimes i feel like its out of my reach.
Why my guy isn't on the world stage, is beyond me??
He has more talent than so many of the so called "Top" producer/DJ's, in my humble opinion... Way to go Alex, and Thank you brother. 👍❤️
Quality of music only brings you so far
Rest ist timing and marketing or connections into the industry
thank you I really appreciate that 🙂
Seriously.Really great lesión 👏👏👏🎶
Your tutorials are superb. Thank you for making such valuable contents for free. If I ever make it in the music industry, I would love to give you credits for it.
Best program I guess 🔥🔥🔥
PLZZZZZ MORE VIDS LIKE THIS
ive been making my beats simmilarly, and this game more ideas. your lessons are great as always, i continued to make beats and not give up after watching your video on how to make chords. thanks a bunch. youre awesome.
This is one of your best videos you've put out, very well done.
i always wonder how these guys dont have hits, these songs are fire
Awesome walk through especially for a beginner like me ❤️
Just found your channel and wow - absolutely amazing. Thanks - gonna binge watch!
Always love seeing Alex has uploaded, gg
Best RUclipsr I ever seen for music production, really sad, that you live at the other side of the world …
Where does he live?
@@hectorqwer in Philadelphia US, but I’m from Germany in the EU, so it is far away from my perspective
Why sad?
Were u
Planning on stalking him?
@@007camboni was
Always enjoy your tutorials! You are really inspiring 👍🏻
YOUR SELECTION IS PERFECT AS GOD HIMSELF SELECTED
Selected Vibes! Loved it 😉
It's always a jam visiting Alexs channel lit 🔥 😊 💯
Another slappin vid from the man him self! Thanks Alex !! 😎
thank you mr huge headphone
So good dude!!! I would rather listen to this than a hundred music theory teachers... And i HAVE listened to a hundred music theory teachers.
The only other guy i listen to is Jake at Signals Music Studio. Same kind of practical approach.
Goat
amazing video
Fantastic presentation!
Love your work man, you should make a vid on organizing a massive sample library if you got advice/tips on it 😅
Gracias
Always love your videos Alex - I always learn something new. Must admit though that I would assume that every beginner would surely have Vital (as its free, and excellent) rather than Serum. Looking forward to your next video.
Nice one Alex, have a fun weekend! ;D
Would love to see you build a trance song, love the vids❤
Love your tutorials! Would like to know where you get your sounds, packs etc. Are they free?
This is so sick!
Awesome video!!!
Amazing!
awesome vid, would be cool that you post the song on spotify, i'd love to listen to it
I love you Alex❤❤❤
at 3:13... Damn dude... your amazing!
Amazing.
Great track
so good
Another banger
can you teach us any vocal techniques
maybe the title should be "how to structure a track from the beginning". not as snappy, but a lot of people might be bothered because with the template and preloaded patches it wasnt really "produced" from "scratch"
First time i have to desagree a little with you...
Here you do everything in order to the presets/samples that you chose within your template sound good, and it dose, the vibe is so so cool, so why change those ??
My point is, if you start every project like this, you would probably end up with similar vibe... because you build around these sounds
(i hope you can understand what i mean aha, peace man)
have you ever tried making a song with the OP-1?
Aye lets go! This is nice \o.o/
Cool vocal women 🎧💎🎧
Those cans are ridonculous bruh
Hello, what preset do you use for the "Warm pad" sound ? Cheers
wait what app or link is he using
What does "pads" mean? I have heard this term frequently, yet have no clue what it means musically. Can you please explain it, since you use it? Thank you.
For whatever reason my LCD-X's never give me a headache. My neck is too strong 😂
Lets produce a song from scratch, so to start were just gonna load up most of the song from these paid packs and templates and we just need to stitch it together.
😂 man
@AlexRome There's a very faint high note pad synth at 16:42 of the video that (from my understanding) is not explained throughout this tutorial. It starts when you replay the entire project. It may have high pass filter on it and its automated and as soon as the break occurs it goes away (from what I can tell). Can you please explain what and why you added that in terms of music production? I feel it's there to fill up space in a sense of what a drone synth would do. Thank you for your sharing of knowledge. I'm a fan!
How to Alex Rome😊
what does he use to make it like app?
Bro, i was listening Neo - Snavs (SLUU$HI Remix) and i wanna learn how to make soo fat and grizzy bass, but not too loud
What’s the app thing
What daw are you using here
WHATS THE SOFTWAREEEEÈEEEE
Anyone else unable to download the chord build course
but what’s the app ?
He🔥🔥🔥🔥
Such a great teacher👑❤️❤️
Love you a lot
#nova_675🇵🇬
Nice video Alex ! Do you know approximately when it will be available in the Bootcamp ?
This coming week. I already have everything recorded except the mastering. The template and materials downloads are finished as well. Will announce the updates in the discord as they go up.
@@AlexRome Cool ! Thanks Alex :)
Where can I buy your beat
Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
i love u
where do you get your vocals from?
@@MeltedAero they are from my vocal packs. I find and record talented vocalists in the industry and then build packs with their vocals.
@@AlexRome Okay, thanks. Yeah, i use LPX, and it’s pretty good for building music. I just can’t seem to get vocals
But you have to pay money to get those "templates", right?
Generally i dont know how to get those sound"templates".
Just create your own template, the sounds used on the video aren't nothing special
These are very basic sounds for the purpose of demonstrating. Unfortunately you gotta take the time to explore and experiment. But when you find some, just save the project as a template
That's helpful thanks @@ricemartini2135
Starting with a template cannot be over-stated enough.
💣💣💣
Your love for the craft seeps through the screen, you give supervillain vibes though.
"I'm going to show you how to make a song from scratch"
*opens template already set up with sounds already in it*
Great...
Too bad it's not for FL Studio :/
You can apply all these concepts in FL studio too
Idk, scratch from template...
“I hate it” 😂
So sad you don't reply to my comments
what software do you use
Love these vids. Not much of an EDM fan, but I learn so much. Amazing teacher!
Genuinely great. I appreciate your videos more than you can imagine
I love the way you explain everything! Great work!
Great Video! Is there any way to get hold of the nice template of yours? Looks like a perfect starting point for building a great song. Would be super helpful!
Your love for the craft seeps through the screen, you give supervillain vibes though.
I love it too! Thanks.
Thank you ❤
