      He really is. My favorite is that he uses songs I know from artists I admire that other people like and we get to learn all their little tricks then I get to apply them to my songs and my production is so much better. Alex Rome is straight up the GOAT for any new producer.

    My god I wish I would have had this video years ago. I always just produced the raw idea but never really knew about anything you taught in this video. never understood how others could consistently make their songs sound so rich and lively. Layers change everything

    I've been making music on and off since high school but it was always a hobby for me. I always wanted a career in music but kinda gave up because while I could make a song, I rarely knew what I was actually doing. There's thousands of tutorials out there but very few actually dive into the "why" essentially making the info irrelevant to any newcomers. It's channels like yours that made me fall in love with making music again. Thank you for everything you do for the community man.

    Your enthusiasm is so contagious in all of your videos! And all of your techniques are so well explained. These bite sized techniques are all useable and memorable, which helps me feel like I can make use of them myself too. Simple and effective doesn't mean they aren't powerful or useful. Other software I use for art calls these kind of things "atomic" because they can be combined to make something greater than themselves. This video feels like 7 more atomic techniques to utilize. Thank you again for sharing!!

    FL Studio users - use the consolidate feature or put Edison on your mixer after the delay/ reverb and record the sound in and drag in to project

    • @zachshw
      @zachshw Месяц назад

      Highlight the sound(s) and then press Ctrl+alt+C after adding effects, will consolidate the sound with effects on it as long as they are enabled. then you can cut as needed.

    Uh...yeah...by FAR this is the best technique: 14:45 Technique 7 - hidden rhythm layers

  • @basseldahdouh8736
    @basseldahdouh8736 Месяц назад

    For when my beat lackin in the low area but i dont wanna add more sounds, what i do is:
    duplicate the beat, half time it to a complementary rhythm, narrow it down with the eq to a good range, and do some spectral imaging to make it fit where the “thickness” is missing.
    If its done right to a track it’s like u have a new song

    Great video, thanks man.
    I have used many of these techniques in the past simply because it made sense, but you have explained and put it all into words nicely. I never knew they were distinct techniques, or even had names... Also, you had two songs in this entire video both with female vocals (time stamps below). Will they be released?? Please provide a link to them for my Spotify, if so.
