I believe producing indie rock is one of the best ways to grow your skills as a producer.
This is especially the case if you're already a guitarist, given the guitar driven nature of the genre.
The components of Indie Rock are small in number and very clear. If you understand how an Indie Rock song is constructed, you will then have a baseline template you can apply to virtually any other genres you might want to venture into.
The magic of indie rock is in its simplicity. You don't need to crank out wild blues guitar licks, or do some crazy jazz modulations. Rather, you just need to develop and master a small set of skills (which I will teach you to do in this video).
Today, as the newest addition to the "How to Produce an Indie Song" series, we're taking a look at the 6 steps to producing a Radiohead-style indie rock song. Enjoy!

And nobody's even mentioning the fact that the guy is actually a great singer
The biggest thing I enjoy from these videos is how open you are when it comes to using presets
Sometimes I get into my head too much and feel a little less creative when I'm using presets
Thanks for this
you’re really helping musicians out there. thankyou. ❤️
Thank you for the kind words!
im very impressed by both your ability to so closely recreate the sound of the original songs, and also to be able to explain what you're doing in a clear and concise way. most people who do the former can't do the latter, thank you!
Really helpful video! You are a great teacher and I will definitely be checking all your videos out, just from the pure fact of how much I have learned from this one! Keep up the great work and I am positive that anyone that looks at your videos will fill the same.
I’m so glad to hear that. Thank you for the kind words 🙏
You're a gem bro thank you for your time and effort into these videos
I appreciate that very much. Thank you 🙏
Last time I checked you were around 2k subs, congrats on your growth! If you keep it up I know you'll blow up.
Hey thanks so much for that!
I love these videos sm
Great content cause Radiohead is my no 1 favourite Band. Thanks a lot 🙏
Thank you!
Awesome vid Mark ! Could you do a similar track featuring Coldplay. Loving your content. Easily one of the best comprehensive channels on production and mixing
Thank you! Coldplay is definitely a video I would be interested in. Thanks for your suggestion!
Awesome! I'd love to see one on Neon Trees!
singing from an ng sound - great tip. thank you!
Would be sick to see one on Ben Howard!
That ‘ng’ singing tip is so sick. Where did you learn that? Are there other sounds to base you vocal take on?
Isn’t it though?! It seriously works.
I don’t remember which vocal coach I learned that technique from the first time, but my friend Tyler Wysong is an awesome voice coach, and in working with him, this technique became solidified as an invaluable tool. Feel free to check out Tyler’s channel. He’s awesome.
And yes, a few of my favorite sounds besides “ng” are “bee” “buh” “Vee” and “yeah”
Bro please make a complete video on history of quantization of drums.. Do all the band does it?
Can you please do a breakdown of the band alt-j I'd love to hear your thoughts
Hey man :) could you make a tutorial on how to produce a song like Instupendo - Confort chain ? thank u
i woke up sucking on a lemon, and i approve this video
I woke up feeling like a creep, and I approve that comment 🤝
How do you avoid a muddy mix when using both a room & hall reverb? Love your videos btw.
The most effective way to quickly remove mud when using reverb is to use the low cut EQ feature on your reverb and cut away everything from around 300-600 hz and down.
@@theindiemusiclab Cool, cool. Do you ever mix the two reverbs together? Have the plate reverb accentuate more of the highs vs the room focus more on the mids? Or perhaps have one reverb wider than the other?
For sure. I don’t really focus on what the precise approach is. I think it’s better to tinker around with interesting combinations until you stumble on a sound you like.
the website doesnt work :(
