Amazing motivation. Like, if u dont finish 90% of your songs.
I'm Not An Expert But I've Made 2 Beats Out Of Loop And Made It Into A Song Using My Phone.
I literally searched "how to get unstuck making loops" lol I get a good loop and then run face first into a wall. But only when I'm actually on Logic. If I'm listening to music for inspiration I can plan out everything I want to do in my own work, until I sit down to put anything together
90%? Those are rookie numbers, I dont finnish 98% 🤠🔫
Make that 99%

The love you have for music is contagious. Thank you for sharing that passion with the world Alex!
Absolutely!!!! Whenever he says that it bounces or slaps or whenever he gestures with his hands, you can just *FEEL* his passion!!
That transition into the drop was smooth
You’re a great teacher as well as producer, your passion and teaching style is next level dude
Every new video is a splash of inspiration every time
Great stuff Alex! Always love the energy you bring to your vids
So happy I've found your channel, I've never watched such interesting music production content, it's so inspiring
It's incredible how simple you make automation look and feel as you teach... makes me realize I've been definitely underutilizing that in my tracks. Thanks Alex!
Nice work man your passion shows. I like what you did with your arrangement choices they sound good like they just sit right.
the drone is beautiful - what a difference that makes to the feel of the track - thats what id expect to hear, if i ever go to heaven - 🤗
I always learn something new from your videos, and I've got to say, whenever I go apply it to my music, I react similar to how you do to yours. I watch you half for your knowledge and half for how much you enjoy crafting good-sounding music. Keep it up!
Best tutorial I've seen so far this is so incredibly helpful for complete beginners in music production like me!! Thank you. Other youtubers I see are not getting as in depth and its often more for advanced creators so this is helpful.
Watching this process is so fun, I love these videos
I love how this dude gets to the point.
I love your good vibes, you have amazing videos and you make it super easy for everyone to understand. ^_^
I don't make dance music but i do make instrumental music and arrangement has always been the number one thing holding me back - this is by far the most clear and useful tutorial on arrangement ive seen. Thank you so much, and love the passion! Just subscribed.
Nice young man.. You have extremely well put together tracks.. Outstanding work bro..
So good, love your creation and so helpful creatively.
Literally insane I love it
one of the only guys on YT i actually learn from. also glad you're using ableton now. would love an in depth video on bass, from creating/selecting the right sounds to processing and glueing it in with rest of track. that's where i'm getting stuck rn. thanks!
I’m trying to start a track today so I really appreciate this 🎉 of course I’ve watched tons of videos on this topic but a refreshing video on a good topic is a good motivation on get started today!
awesome video! I love how you have a clear overwiew about this! thats a newfound clarity of arranging for me, also thats a solid track you wrote right there =)
Wow, this is amazing to see every session from you related to production, pls make another video on balancing instruments or mixing.
Very cool workflow. Super idea.
This was so informative! Thank you, will definitely use these tips in my next track :D
You make great videos my guy. Whenever I see you made something new, I tune in just because the way you are (on cam) is so comforting. :)
May the algorythm god be gracious to thee!
another great video! thank you for sharing your good work and advice
Thank you! Been having trouble with this for some time now!
Don't have this particular program but this was truly helpful regardless. Thank you so much from all of us out here!! Absolutely awesome video my man!
Awesome walkthrough
I love this dude
Mann this is what I was looking for I could not find anyone to actually show how to extend the music I’m glad I’m motivated to try this tonight on Logic Pro
Definitely subscribed 🤟🏽
Dope pro producer. Massive huge saucepans.
By far the best tutorial in this category. Plus the song rocks. I would like to sign up with the edm boot camp please 🙏
You rock ! Very good instructive and funny teacher ! Love the dancing .
I got distracted part way through, lost my place so started again - worth it
Incredible 👏👏
this was a great video, as a beginner you gave a very simple, easy to understand explanation of how to break out of an 8 bar loop
Never thought about dropping a vocal sample into Pigments to make a drone... that is really cool! Thanks Alex
Amazing! Thank you
I love the way you explain things. Great tutorial, thanks!
I wish we could have heard the entire track though haha, it sounded solid
Can I hear the full song?
dude you are sick! thx
Dude! Every video of yours I watch gives me a new idea! Man...
Sikk video dude, that looked so easy for you to create, 👏👏
chapter in a book metaphor was eliteeeee
Holy shit this was insanely helpful!! Thanks a lot!
That was very helpful. One has to first create the tools and then bring them all together.
A necromancer here. I wanna hear the whole song, man!
Nice content, thx.
the drop hits hard!
Awesome ❤️
Nice tune!
Alex you are the best
There's two people on whole youtube who get most of EDM fundamental tutorials right One is Alex Rome and other is Big Z
This was gold! thank you. Did you finish the song, would really love to hear it.
That drop was fucking SMOOTH
I actually really liked the way you've done the drums here. Could you do a breakdown video on them?
Good stuff great tutorial
Nice!!!
Slightly weird look, enthusiastic, emotional about the thing he does and that is how to tell that you found a good blogger to binge watch.
Yeah this is hot, well done bro 👍😊
Track is quality!! if not released then you need to get on that bro love the vibe 👌
I love this story too
Holly shit man, you change my mind with this automation utilizing EQ. I use automation but never thought like this.
Same yeah
Very useful tips! For me personally it's after this part I get stuck with 99% of my songs. How to keep the track interesting enough the whole time. Which methods / elements, melody variation to add an interesting twist to surprise the listener etc.. Very nice track so far!
Ur amazing alex 🎉
your headphones are massive!
Was about to say the same, wtf are they?!
Frying pans😂
This is pretty cool. Use sounds to tell a story.
damn, the drop though
Я с английским не в ладах, но этот дядя на практике так хорошо объясняет, что его и не обязательно знать. Спасибо большое за видосы ❤
4:18 amazing genius honestly
love u brother ...😍
I want to here the full song so bad it's so good i wish he could release it
after opening this video in new tab, then i just go back to my DAW without even watching this
it works guys 🤣
actually do something (anything) to your loop works better than listening to it over and over
Always appreciate the videos. Do you by chance have a video on building a bit complex drum patterns ?
I feel I struggle with percussion and the building blocks of what makes a good solid beat. Thanks again!
Not Alex, but I recommend watching videos of drummers and drum covers to see how drummers add flavor and feel. They’ve already figured it out for us, go steal their shit
Game over.
Nicely arranged, Ableton all the way 👍🏼
Wish you would play the whole track though.
I want this song now
Dammm good 🔥🔥
4:19 I love it!
Where can I listen to the full song dude it's so awesome ❤❤
Really cool tips and track Alex...thank you for sharing your approach. Say, what DAW are you using?
Ableton live 11
Thanks for getting my ass back on track💯
Is there a full version of this song? I was vibing hardcore to that!
Vibes
I love the little dance 7:40
Awwweeesoommee
❤❤❤
Fred again Vibe 😸
hard beat
F*ing genius 🗿🙀
Do release music? I love this track
Yuh
Hope you’re planning on finishing and releasing that bro lmao
I get the process but I get the feeling that even tho the loop is unstuck, now the whole song is stuck inside one movement
Dear sir I am from India from Delhi
Hey Alex you look like a navy seal in this vid, ready for a black ops mission. Glad you made this vid instead brother😊
yumm Audeze
Does someone know what DAW is he using? Good vibes
❤
