burn studios residency 2012 - David Guetta Masterclass 

I could listen to David explain things for hours :)

Proof that Guetta is a real producer, despite the ignorant critics.

He's really sooo passionate and ready to share everything he knows! This man is amazing!! Thank you David! :)

WOW! He simply changed the way I see electronic music making completely! He's a genius!

he's living his dream, he's successful, he obviously loves what he's doing but a lot of "semi pro producers" here keep commenting shit and negativity instead of trying to see the inspiration he is spreading and how far passion can bring you.

I felt like I was listening to the new discoveries of a rookie producer

Incredibly detailed- I love you guys.

Guetta is not my favorite producer but this video was actually pretty cool

David Guetta is so underrated although he dedicated almost all his live for DJing and produce great house music. His passion is very strong and his ideas are visionary, he is also has a humble personality. Without him i doubtly think dance music will gets global recognition like it does now, give some respect for this guy.

If David Guetta is one of the best producers in the world, that doesn't mean that he is a trained sound engineer, David Guetta has presented this graet class in very good way, so shut up all the haters

many thanks man

Very cool training session. Thx for this.

Took him 4 mins to explain sidechaining

Summary, Use the same kick/bass and groove in EVERY track Sidechain EVERYTHING What's louder is BETTER If the track distorts... well tough luck

Great session, thanks for sharing!

Best video, still relevant in 2019....

A lot of people hating here, seems like they know a lot about producing, yet cannot make a good track that resonates throughout the world. Everybody knows David and there's a reason for that. You People that hate though, there's also a reason why you're still where you are right now.. Thanks David ! Good stuff man !

He makes something so simple sound difficult

thanks!

Thanks so much guys!! great tips from Guetta!! Gracias!!!

awesome video

David Guetta: "Whats louder sounds better" - Cranks up volume until it Distorts! ;)

amazing passions that serve to us David, really great tips and nice to listen about his workflow and experience

This is fantastic ❤❤

Guys - he's saying so much and getting so technical - I swear your best option is to get behind your PC and work away until you've come up with your own ideas. Guetta can show you a few basics but in the end it's all up to you - practise makes perfect!

This is amazing, Guetta is such a nice guy he is so open with his information witch took him years to amass.. some other people would never do this..He just wants people to do well.. I like Guetta and his music is good.. fair play to him .. and with regards to loud he is right this is EDM not fuck country music. Too loud .. Than your too loud

thanks for the post :)

Thanks Mr. Guetta for sharing your knowledge with us! Although some people say you're not a great DJ, your work as a producer is indisputable. Merci beaucoup!

Sidechaining, in beginner terms, refers to 'making other audio track listen to other one'. Most known use for this is to make other track drop its volume or just specific frequencies down when there is signal coming in on the other track(for example; making the lower frequency tracks drop their volume when kickdrum hits or making vocals stand out from middle etc.) Here they're talking about simply automating volume drops when the kickdrum hits. Gives dat pumpin' sick dropz yo effect.:)

Borat Masterclass...very nice

thank's for video

Merci David pour ce petit cours très instructif. Je vais mettre tout ça en pratique. ...

I'd like to get in touch with the engineer. He seems super nice.

What I learned from this video.... Side-chain "EVERYTHING", make things really LOUD, and to put everything under 175 HZ mono.... What I like to do... make things really quiet.... and make sure my bass is compressed/limited to a comfortable level so that that when I apply my mastering techniques, I can make things REALLY LOUD PROPER. I also like to stereoize my bass.... I send it to two different channels, and pan each plus make them stereo, about 20-25% (However my sub bass is usually a little less stereo/panned than my main bassline, to make it seem wider) I side chain my bass and sub... It's necessary... I like to side chain lots of my synths that get in the way of my kick... however if it isn't getting in the way of the kick then don't side chain. OR another method is to find where your kick is most prominent EQ wise (lets say 100 HZ), and just turn down around 100 HZ on your synths... boom done, no more need to side chain :P nice clear synths. Last tip.. I keep my kick Mono only, you can have anything you want mono, just make sure to make room for it. And remember kids, there are no rules. everything I just said is a lie. Do what you want, make cool things sound cooler, and always practice playing an instrument. Those three pieces of advice I'm sure everybody can agree with me on.

Awesome tips! Thankyou!

very interesting thanks David

Dude on left looks like he's trying to, or pooped his pants.

Greatest musician EVER!

this is amazing

Thanks for sharing that. :D

Has it come out yet? :)

David is the only real person in that room

Thx... very interesting and a BIG help :)

Excellent, and DG really knows how to deliver in his tracks. There was some very good advice there.

but he has my respect , holding out for a dj / producer so long. (y)

Wait... So this is how you make Darude - Sandstorm?

Amazing Masterclass. Guetta Admiration Restored :)

Thank !🙏🙏🙏

Words that do not go together: David Guetta Masterclass

He said "i put it in mono" And you asked what software is that

just watched Armin sharing "secrets" and he said it's better to never repeat your sounds - no same kick, no same claps - everytime he makes different sound so the audience is never bored

Gold, pure gold ❤️

mono isnt a software :D

What's the name of that track???

He is making it sound as easy as it is! His explanation is perfect! What he does is spend the majority of his days and nights in clubs, areans, festivals - living the life, watching the people, tweaking the tempos and seeing their effect on the bodies. What is does is completely authentic and organic. As Lebron James how he does it and he'll tell that he works hard and practices a lot! Thank you David Guetta! IT is all here!

Golden class

0:21 that face when you realise you don't know jack shit about producing...

What is the plugin at 13:21 ?? pls !!

such a good explination!!! cheeers

He really is incredible at explaining music production!

12:45 on the road? yea, on the plane...

Guetta... Teaching you to keep your kicks in key with the project.... what a clown. I thought that was self-stated.

...Like a master blaster boss!

Good job

"Producer"

Why does everyone look awkward and maybe even embarrassed?

True. You might not like his work, but you can't deny he does it very well.

Legend

pretty sure the guy on the left knows more than guetta

I could tell the same basics just after 1 week messing with ableton... the main problem with him is about mixing music anyway

Yeah great vid. (Y)

SOME ONE WHO FINALLY UNDERSTAND THANK YOU.

Masterclass - *lol

Am i the only one who thinks Ghetta has no idea what he's talking about? lmfao

Melody & Energy... thanks Mr Guetta

Thanks Mike, I haven't thought about that.

I came, I listened for ten minutes, I shriveled up in disgust at how bad the stuff he is teaching is, I disliked the video, wrote this comment and am about to leave. Now I understand why everyone hates him and wants to sue him for ear-rape.

I seriously hope nobody actually takes his 'tips'. 'What sounds louder sounds better'. Nope. This is why modern music sounds bad, because of the loudness war. It sounds like shit. Over compression is nasty and without quiet there can be no loud. This is why his tracks sound like shit and in proper venues his stuff will never be played. It stays on the radio where it was made to be. This is the kind of stuff that is making music sound like shit.

Straight from the internal soundcard to the mixer. I like that :)

Well said.

He has no idea of what he is saying. He has no idea about music overall.

This dude is so chill

nice tech work ...#KCRIDEC #MUSICMAKERJAMS #LOUDLY

I found this class extremely useful. Guetta talks about some basic stuff, and sometimes those basic stuff are the ones you usually lack. Sidechaining gave me some new ideas, but the best part was the talk about emotional vs. power parts of the track. Jumping parts don't need emotional elements necesserely, if you wanna only shake the crowd. Never thought about it like that. Guetta knows his stuff. Thank you. Also - don't hate. He shared his knowledge, and really is a nice guy. Cheers.

I loooove when he says '' Then i got a trick for you my friend! To that techer or whatever he is, it sound so cool with a french accent!

excellent

MASTER! :)

Wow he taught me sidechain & stereo delay, never would have figured all this out without him!

gooood

dam guetta thats some good shit i wish more producers at his level did a masterclass

Super bon conseils ! :)

the guy hosting is such a grease ball. i love him.

people criticise him but yet he he is majorly successful it was actually a good quick insight to his process

Thanks for the note. It's a David Guetta track in the making. It's unreleased.

Gracias por esos subtitulos en español!

MASTER!!!

In the past he worked with those producers, and now he works a lot with a guy named Giorgio Tuinfort. When he started out, like many of us, he did not know a lot about making music. Over time, he put in the work and got better at his craft. I am sure he still has guys helping him in the studio, but no doubt, he is much more knowledgeable of music now than before. From this video, it's apparent that he knows his way around a DAW and knows the use of plugins. He understands what hits in clubs!

For being so internationally known, I respect him for passing on his knowledge. Tracks like "Memories feat Kid Cudi" will forever be remembered.

Ah... this is greatest tutorial I've ever seen in my life!

You can say anything you want about his music, but he knows what he's doing.
