SONG INFO:
LYRICS
[ I, I~ ]
[ Just wanna feel (x4) ]
Just wanna feel like the woman in your dreams-
I’m made of silver, silk, and anything that you need.
Just wanna feel like I’m a part of someone else-
Just wanna be for you what I can’t be myself.
Just wanna get inside your head,
And root around, undo the threads-
Find some room to make a nest.
Just wanna see if we could be-
Just like the pretty people on TV;
& would it be just as easy?
Just wanna be-
The next to see
Your pretty face-
Here next to me.

Yeah go for it! I've been diving into learning producing and music in general and really enjoy these type of videos. I love how videos like this create a sort of togetherness in the solitude recording session many of us are having

[@IsaacMS]

Thank you ! hell yeah, good luck getting into producing, it's quite the journey lol - glad you enjoyed! :)

[@IsaacMS]

tysm!! means a lot:)) ty for watching, glad u enjoyed !

[@douglasanderson4174]

This is awesome mate! Loved hearing your thought process. Massive perfectionist when writing so I also find these kinda time-limits challenging and rewarding. Utterly cozy vibes from this video nice job

[@IsaacMS]

Thank you man! Means a lot:) That's exactly why I do these time limits & weekly uploads, too much of a perfectionist; if there was no deadline, I'd never finish anything lol. Glad u enjoyed, ty for watching! :)

[@from.the.basement]

bro even the creative side of that song is so pretty. the sound too aswell ofc!

[@IsaacMS]

ty friend, much appreciated :))

[@sadvibes2961]

That was and amazing video and song, I'm really happy I was recommended your video, I just got a wave of inspiration to continue making music and trying new things when it come to creating, wish you the best of luck on your music and RUclips journey! 🔥💯

[@IsaacMS]

Thank you so much! means a lot:)) Awesome man, I wish u luck with music too - ty for watching:)

[@RobinIsSilly]

Hey I loved this! It was so fun to watch someone else’s process to making a song and the whole recording and production side of things, I would love to watch more like this

[@IsaacMS]

thank you so much! means a lot:)) i for sure wanna do more content like this in the future, just gotta find the time 🏄‍♂️

[@macneilsketchley]

Hair and music goals, much love from my fifth wheel wishing I had half the equipment that you do. The wisdom here is gonna effect how I record tracks on my phone in the future. Especially that delay trick, super neat!

[@IsaacMS]

Thank you so much! was psyched when I figured out that delay trick lol, use it all the time now. Glad you enjoyed, ty for watching:))

[@PietroFGReal]

you're absolutely brilliant

[@IsaacMS]

tysm! :)

[@TommyOakley]

Sounds awesome man! 🖤

[@IsaacMS]

thank you ! much appreciated:)

[@carriefingsolomon]

11 hours to write AND record/produce a song start to finish? You definitely have me beat, and my possibly 20 hours are spread out over many days😭😭🤣 I’m trying to get faster but it’s just not the way my brain works…as far as songwriting or learning because I am still very much learning how to record/produce

[@IsaacMS]

Yeaaa that's usually how my writing process goes, if anything gets finished at all lol. That's exactly why I do little time-limit things like these, helps get me out of that rut. Thank you for watching ! :)

[@liamdubalmusic]

This is so sick dude!

first time viewer and i absolutely loved this, amazing how you managed to make something so hard look so simple and it truly inspired me to learn more about making my own music, i'd love to be like you someday and while im at it i'd also love to know what software this is lol, either way great job! :D

[@IsaacMS]

Thank you so much! Really means a lot, I appreciate that:))
The music software is Logic Pro (Garageband being the free equivalent), the video editing software is CapCut Desktop (free), and I capture my screen with OBS (also free). Thank you for watching, & welcome to the channel! Good luck on getting into music:))

[@jules_borel]

[@justletmesigninokthx]

I usually smoke a large bong to do the final listen at the end of the day, it's like you are hearing the track for the first time despite the fact that you spent the whole day making it.

[@binomial6473]

super cool video!! :))) what mics were u using for the stereo pair and for vocals? i saw the at2035 on cajon tho!

[@IsaacMS]

Thank u!! Vocals were the AT2035 too, and the stereo pair were "SE8"s :)

[@CadenYoung]

BROOO I study sound recording technology at Stephen F Austin!

[@IsaacMS]

YOOO fellow SRT! hell yea lol :)

[@WithBurti]

Hey bro this is fire 🔥just one question do you record with a preset or any auto tune or anything ?

[@IsaacMS]

Ty! much appreciated:)) No autotune on this one, but the main vocal chain is a pretty basic EQ into a compressor, 2 de-essers at different frequencies (I've got really harsh sibilance), another EQ to scoop out some mud, then some mid-frequency reverb (plugin is TAL Reverb 4, the rest are stock)

[@ParaaShakti]

great f*kn voice

[@IsaacMS]

thank you ! means a lot:)

[@ashthereverseflash]

Yoo, love the song ! What’s on the vocal chain!?/ master

[@IsaacMS]

Thank you! Much appreciated:)

[@akaYenity]

you should live stream making songs i’d tune in, i also make music but i make a different genre from you, so it’s interesting seeing how other stuff is made haha

[@IsaacMS]

Thank you, that means a lot! I've thought about that a lot actually, got the stream overlays & everything already set up lol. For sure a possibility :)

[@user-md6sl6yq7i]

This is absolutely beautiful! Also, I'm thinking of drawing you. You and your aesthetic really fit my art style, and I'd love to draw you. But, on paper, Is that okay? Im not confident in digital art right now, still learning

[@IsaacMS]

thank you so much! & absolutely, feel free lol - if you're willing, I'd love to see it when it's done! My insta should be linked to the channel, could send it there 🏄‍♂️

@@IsaacMS i dont have insta but ill come back to this comment, maybe?

[@richaudios]

any tips on learning how to sing without having to take classes?

[@IsaacMS]

sing songs you actually wanna learn! that's literally what this channel started as, learning a new song every week to teach myself to sing (it gets pretty rough if you scroll back lmao). Frequently learning songs you like instead of just drills/exercises is a good way to keep yourself practicing/motivated :)

[@kipkopkikopog]

3:25 when the ep comes out… tough to say when coz the songs arent written 💀

[@IsaacMS]

yeaaa we'll get there eventually lmao

[@moguld4419]

"I have no idea what i'm doing".Compared to that, the end result is better than those who know what they are doing!😀Good job dude!How your zoom,connected with Logic?

[@IsaacMS]

ty! best way to learn something is to just start doing it lol.
I love my Zoom H6, never given me any issues as a field recorder or audio interface, highly recommend :) Just got a mini-usb to usb-c cable and logic talks to it no problem

[@moguld4419]

@@IsaacMS Yes,you're right!One of my friend,start to make music,and he got the same zoom like yours,but he can't use as a soundcard i don't know why.I need to go to him checking it out.Thanks for your recommendation.I have a Babyface pro fs,and last week I bought a Sony C80 mic.I make rap music and my goal is home recording on professional level.Now i working on my Pro tools vocal record template.Sorry for my english,im a hungarian!Congratulation to your song ,i like it.It is simple,but good sounding..less is more!👍
