Dayglow - How I Made "December" 

Sloan's computer never having a solid 5 seconds of normal functioning is golden.

The very nice jingle is so nice it's like watching an old box tv at your grandparent's house.

13:55 me trying to tell my siblings there is a motif throughout harmony house

the king of the real-fake drums

Oooooh! Yeah let's go!!! :-)

this is my favorite series on youtube 😎

You’re honestly the best for making these Sloan and I really appreciate every one of your videos

Please make a day glow Christmas album

The cursed system overload! Love these my man, thank you for taking the time to put them together.

I love this song so much! I think it’s my favorite on the album! I actually cried a lil when I listened to it because I was just like awww it was like someone was sweetly telling me everything was gonna get better, love your music so much!

I just want to say that I only discovered Dayglow a short time ago - less than a month after the birth of my daughter - and this album brought me so much joy during a time of high stress and intense life changes. I adore this music, and I love your attitude and the way you think. Thank you for brightening a tough time for me and just being you.

The way you feel about this era is how I feel about the late 60s and 70s, that constructed nostalgia of a time just before one's own. In a way, we experienced the final memories of those eras, these fading influences that briefly linger as the world moves ever forward, and I think that's what makes them feel all the more precious and bittersweet. There are a number of musicians out there tapping into this pop-sitcom aesthetic of the 80s and early 90s, but few if any others manage it with such heartfelt sincerity. Bravo.

sloan, I absolutely love this album so much! Like I can't explain it. I grew up listening to 70's-80's music and so naturally I loved this album right away. I love all of the small details and call backs to the other songs in the album and I love how it tells a bit of a narrative that I can relate and invest myself into, which makes the whole album feel like a mini movie full of emotion. I work washing windows and pressure washing among other things in the hot Californian weather and I've listened to the album through and through countless times. It makes me work at a beat lol, and makes the days go by a lot faster. Thank you so much for it and for Fuzzy Brain. I'm going to go see you play in September at Santa Ana, and I don't know if you read these comments, but I really can't wait to see you!

I watched this namely to see how he got the sax sample, but really the best part was hearing about where the last 4 chords of the song came from. This guy is the best.

let's goooooo i'm really on the edge of my seat for moving out as well. what a phenomenal track, def the hidden gem on harmony house

Dayglow is a true gem man, I love seeing him talk about his music and showing it to us in the DAW. His music is incredible too. What an honor

Love your stuff man! I definitely feel your pain when a session has so many plugins that it destroys the computer haha😂

This was my favorite on Harmony House, really cool to see the behind the scenes

Im already thankful for each of these but I would be ecstatic to see you talk about Strangers, it has a very interesting and sort of unforgettable sound, some of the harmony and the chord progressions sounded really cool with that diatonic stepdown In the climax

we neeeeeed just an instrumental version of this song i would literally listen to it on loop

Love your music! When im having a bad day its my go to.

Gotta watch this in December

Love these mix walk throughs !

I love this song

Yeah I really feel that this song gives a “Christmas vibes” ✨✨✨ and I love that

this is my favorite song! im so excited to see how this was made!

this boy is on fire!

LETS GO THESE ARE MY FAVORITE

Yay! Love this series!

Definitely one of my favorite songs on the album. My buddy introduced me to Dayglow and I’m so glad he did.

so happy to see you!

This is so sweet ❤️❤️

I really love Balcony. Such a nice vibe.

this video is legendary, i expected it a lot ❤️

You are such an inspiration man

dude thank you so much for making these this is definitely my favorite song on the album too :)

I love these videos. Sloan is the least pretentious producer on the entire internet. So refreshing.

I noticed all of these songs have the varispeed down 11%, even though they don’t sound like they’ve been slowed down or de-pitched? Is there a reason for that?

such a musical genius!

Love u Dayglow

I love the story behind this song

i really like this song a lot because it helps me look back at alot of changes ive had in my life over the the past year in a positive way (like discovering my actual sexuality, making friends who i can fully be myself around, and really finding out more about my own tastes interests and what i want to be)

This is wonderful 🥂🤟

My favorite song from the album. Very uplifting and bright :)

I'm so excited for the day when Dayglow does a world tour, maybe then I'll be able to hear my favorite artist live. Come to New Zealand, we love you here!

Love your music and how you show how you did your work it’s so inspiring to me thank you much love

I heard close to you at panera bread today :)

Thanks for putting these up. I loved the album and am learning a lot by watching your tutorials

Amooo tus canciones ❤😗

SO happy

This song was indeed ✨magical✨ and very feel-good in general :) Love the album! I'm sure it had helped other people feel better during these quarantine livin', it definitely did for me!

Pls I would love videos focusing on the mixing/plugin side off your songs

Nice content!

BROO YOUR PC MAN!! GREAT SONG THO

wow

nice

sloan you're so cute and kind. i wish i could meet you!

Another awesome video! Love the insight into your sessions. What bass and guitar(s) do you use on your tracks? Also, do you mix/master these yourself or do you send them off to someone else?

Sloan what scent is that oil next to your diffuser?

Will you ever release Close to You with the echo clap? Maybe an extended 2.0 version that includes it?

OMGGGFG

OMG I AM SEEING U LIVE AT NEWPORT MUSIC HALL!!!

Hey Sloan, where do you buy your synths from? (Also great song!)

Que extraño subas las canciones que me gustaron primero

Do you leave the varispeed on when recording or after you're done with all the parts and then warp it all at the same time?

Sloan when u gonna come to New Zealand

Hey, I’m trying to make a cover to one of your songs called strangers, and it would be fantastic if you could post a video tutorial of how you made the song 😀🙂

Anybody know what Sloan uses to record his Logic screen & audio for these videos? Or could anybody recommend any good, easy to use programs? I've tried to screen record myself but can never seem to get the Logic file audio to record :(

YEAHH MORE JX-3P WHISTLE
