Thank you!!
please release that song lmaoo
Bully Tate McRae into cutting it 😂
For real!
Frrr
@@MakePopMusicGirl release it YOURSELF I really love your original vocal
@@ya_boi_paypay26you know he’s a dude right?
The modern pop trend of hyper processing vocals is definitely going to make it easier for people to get away with using AI vocals in their mixes. I kinda love it and I'm kinda scared shitless at the same time of what the future holds haha
i need a full version of this song NOW! 😭
Dude you have a straight hit on your hands, been stuck in my head on repeat!
Would love to see you cover how to make something akin to an Ethel Cain song like ‘American Teenager’ or ‘Strangers’. Yet to see anyone break down her style on CZcams. She produces all her own stuff by herself too which is pretty cool! Loved the video once again :) The best channel on YT for this stuff I swear.
dude i second this!!! ethels music is SOOO good and i havent seen anyone on YT tackle that yet. hopefully austin does this literally prayinggg
oh my goodness YESSSS i LOVEEE ethel cain sooooo muchhhhh
Yes!!
AUSTIN PLEAAAASE WE ARE LITERALLY BEGGING YOU
something like family tree or gibson girl! I'm obsessed with Ethel Cain, they are so creative.
20:28 imma left this part for repeat 😂
I miss watching awesome tutorials like this. My production feels a little stagnant. This is just what I needed to see. You rock Austin!
Well, you never disappoint. Your hard work is always appreciated. This did in fact come out pretty great!
This is mind blowing man, amazing work!
from the instrumental 2 the vocals 2 the lyrics. everything is absolutely nailed jesus
found myself head boppin to this, you never fail 😭😭
Loving this melody!!! I wanna try and recreate this to learn.
thank you so much for these vids, they are very motivative for production 🙏😎
Awesome to see you implemented midi guitar. Thank you! 🔥🙌
Big fan bro your tutorials really helped me a lot in music production sending positive vibes to you man Thank you!!!!!
sameee. i levelled up heavily thanks to him!
Crazy stuff, well done!
Dark Pop is one of the most underrated genres
Always reading my mind the second I wonder how to make an artist type beat here you are…. Thank you ❤
i cant tell u how much how much i've been waiting for this one
thank you!! hope you enjoy!
need a full version sooooo muchhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
It sounds exactly like something that I’d listen to. Amazing!
I keep re-listening to this song. It is amazing!!
Pls release full song
This needs to be released asap !
Always fire! Love those atmo pads. Gives so much depth
Atmos pads literally go in everything I do!
A must!!@@MakePopMusic
Excellent work!
Loved the AI disclaimer!
The track is amazing too, another great tutorial
Bro you're really an amazing producer
THIS WAS SO GOOD! I want to play it on repeattttt lol
Super cool! Appreciate you doing this for us all! :)
nice work brother! dig it
This song is stuck in my head now lmao. Good stuff! 🔥
ngl, it's been in my head all week since I filmed too. lolol
Bro you killed this!!!!
Love this track....best pop tutorials by far!
Thank you so much!!
You are insanely talented
super good tutorial thank you!!!
the struggle with recording cubase is reall i feel that 😂
this track is fire!🔥found myself humming it 10 mins after finishing the video🎶
It sounds amazing. Honestly when mixed with the instrumentals, the vocals sound like Tate for real.
RELEASE THIS BANGER RIGHT NOW PLS
ITS SO GOOD
just bought Y2K and I feel so proud! great pack
Thank you!!
nice work!
Banger
This is SO good
this is fire song man!
Great video, Austin! Please do a video on building harmony stacks using a Vocs AI
pls release a full version with your vocals
This may be diving into more of the EDM realm but I’d love to see a video sort of doing Said The Sky’s blend of pop and electronic
LOVE Said The Sky!
Oh babes you made a HIT
I appreciate your content. It was ironic for me to read your background, and that you started out in metal! I play guitar at the most elaborate level for thrash and melodic death metal, sing 7 octaves; the whole 9 yards, but love a wide variety of electronic music and work on my own fairly consistently.
Far more constructed work than I put into metal. It's too easy and convenient to just shred through arpeggios, sleazy rhythms etc.
That song is fire!
This is sooo cool
Amazing
Holy shit… 1. Someone needs to buy this song from you immediately. 2. You always kill it.
This song is absolutely excellent 👌👌
I’ve never heard someone say Db minor before haha love it. This guy rocks
wait this is insane omg
You nailed it bro...love from India
this is too fire
I would love to see your make a template for mid tempo afrobeat songs I follow all your videos they’re amazing
That turned out really great.
thanks so much!
You're welcome!@@MakePopMusic
holy fuck ur in the goat convo for producers man this is amazing
I would love to hear a video on pop country like dan + shay
Make more! Especailly with Tate!❤
Can you make a video on how to mix vocals like charlieonnafriday? A song of his that sticks out to me is Dolla Signs. There is something about his ad-libs (modulation/sound field EFX) that just add so much to the mix, it interests me a lot!
His producer Tyler Dopps is also definitely on the come up and has some incredible production on his latest records.
Love the vids, keep it up Austin!
Eowowowooww this song is fireee
Glad you posted this, totally would have missed the sale. How many terabytes of samples is too many? Fuck if I know.
The limit doesn’t exist
Hey, Austin ......plaz make more of this Crazy Content, specially Dark pop songs..............Can you make one similar like BlackBear IDFC
Tooo gooood
Hey, I used to be Cappa’s Music teacher. She did very well despite of me! Lol.
🔥🔥🔥
I’m mad it sounds so good. It really does sound like a song she would release. Honestly I’m so mad that it sounds so good. Lol
YOU NEVER DISAPPOINT
8:40 yooo the drums and pattern kinda sound like the drums in eleven by IVE
Tutorial on TheKidLaroi´s "bleed" would be awesome!
heard chef!
I like the idea of using the artists voice for the final listen demo, you should explore it more! but ai is getting so scary lol
Hiii can you make a video about how to write lyrics like these pleaseeee? I love ur videossss🫶🏻
Can you make a tutorial showing how do you mix hyperprocessed vocals for men please?
Thatss crazy how you made this this good😳🔥,is there any chance to get the song ?🙏🏻☺️
If I HAD to suggest something, it'd be a Dominic Fike tutorial but honestly just do whatever you're feelin, I'm gonna love it regardless haha
The song sounds dope! Are you planning on releasing it with your voice?
Not with my voice. Got a couple artists wanting to cut it right now though so maybe it'll release eventually!
can you make a full/extended version?
Wnderful just amazin! Can you share your Cubase colour scheme please? :)
Chromeo type funk please :)
i'd love a video with travis scott's voice :)
Can I work with you? 😅 This was great !
CRYSTAL CASTLES!!
I love your content! been watching a while now as you're a fellow cubase user :) how do you record audio for Cubase when you're doing these videos? I can't seem to record audio from my DAW at all no matter what I try
I use an RME interface which has loop back so I can route the audio from Cubase into OBS! Before this interface, I used a program called VoiceMeeter
thankyou so much :)@@MakePopMusic
Good
BRO THIS IS INSANE
Release it pls!
Hi from France, thanks a lot for your work that you share with us.
One question : do you use a PC or Desktop?? (I'm building a home studio to make Pop music).
PC at home, Macbook pro on the road!
Hey Austin, can you do a video on how to get that very recent Serban Ghenea vocal sound, best heard in songs like Too Much (Jung Kook, Laroi, Central Cee) and Seven (Jung Kook)? I hear this elusive smooth, “fluffy” texture in the mids that I can’t wrap my head around. In some ways you can hear this texture in Tate McRae’s greedy as well, even though someone else mixed that song. Curious to know your take on this. Thanks!
Serban is INSANE with mixing. I'm definitely still working my way up to that but I'll see what I can do! I'm in the process of getting some new monitors and redoing some acoustic treatment that will be a huge upgrade so I'm sure 2024 will have much more mixing content on the channel!
PLS RELEASE THIS SONG AS UR OWN OR AS COLAB WITH TATE!!!!!
would love to see a video where you show how to take an ordinary vocal change its pitch and sound natural... like for example making a male vocal sound like a female vocal without it sounding super weird....and vise versa... there have been so many times ive been writing a song for release and i want that nice gorgeous backing singer but when i try switch the sound with pitch shifting it just sounds so silly :/
how to make a song like " Loreen - Tatto " would be awesome too!
Do you make the multitracks for your videos available anywhere?
Can i buy this beat pls? It's so amazing and i'd love to sing on it
guys this song exists it’s tell by sixty! hope that helps. tates voice isn’t in it is is ai in this vid! hope that helps!
Wow he stole it from Austin
