honestly mate, you are one of the most useful youtube accounts for production. The tips you give are priceless and to the point as well. Really appreciate the hard work you put in to make serious production tips accessible to smaller producers like me and i look forward to every video you release. Big ups and a lotta love my guy!
7:10 This tip is Gold. Most producers came cross those techniques, but they rarely use it because its easier to drag and drop already made FXs. However, the last tip you gave made us zoom out of the picture and relate. Thanks A LOT !
That tip at the end about imagining the song into 4 main parts actually helped so much with transitions. I listened to some reference tracks and noticed they pretty much all did the same thing and it really opened my eyes. Thanks for the video!
Dude you are what jumpstarted my production journey with house back in like 2019 and I've been a fan since. You've grown a ton and it's definitely showing in your video quality too. I think I can say this for a lot of your fans, but thanks for being so impactful and sharing your brilliant ideas
Great video man, the final tip is gold. I always try to imagine that my electronic productions are a live band jamming together. As one member starts to change their dynamics or groove moving up to a new section it cues everyone else (other band members or instruments) to do the same to get ready, as well as clue in the audience.
This guy is so inspiring and such an excellent teacher! I've heard some pretty cool tracks people made using LMMS and I've been at it myself for a while. The track kept going from good to bad to worse and finally to almost perfect. Mastering is a pain because every new sound you add takes up space in the stereo bandwidth. Certain frequencies can overaccumulate and lead to clipping and muddiness. I found what helps is EQ and adding slight attack to some instruments (too many playing at exactly the same time causes that 'muddy' sound). Thanks again for your amazing tutorials! 🙂
I've watched this video 4 times now to lock in the information. You're a true professional musician and a great instructor. Thank you for everything you do!
Hey man, just wanted to say thanks It's easy to pick up the knowledge because of the way you explain it. I could watch other tutorials for hours and still wouldn't learn much. It's really good that you do this
Uber relevant and a solid, concise presentation - bought a couple of packs just to support these tutorials (and turns out they are fire, so... win/win)
When shaping the reverb (of vocals and throws in particular, but it applies to any instrument), it's often better to put the shaping EQ BEFORE the reverb (known as the Abbey Road reverb trick). It makes the entirety of the reverb less dense while not eliminating the brilliant sheen of the reverb, and it makes your reverb able to be much louder without getting in the way or even sounding like it's there (until you take it away).
4:51 This! This is something I need to use more in my productions. In general, this is definitely one of the best transition tutorials I've watched so far.
Big Z, I first heard your "Runaway," "Life's a B*tch" remix when I was maybe ten years old. I am so nostalgic for the mashups you made back in the day, and it's so cool for me to see your youtube tutorials now and learn production from you. As a young kid venturing into new music realms for the first time, I really loved your music and mixes.
this stuff is amazing! I feel like I can do decent 8bar loops, but it's really hard for me to make the rest of the song, that is arrangement, transitions, automation/energy, and fx. This is gold!
the summary at the end was the money maker my dude - think of each main element in your track and what you can do from an automation standpoint for each to make those transitions dope... GOLD!
honestly great tips. I started making music doing trap beats as a young producer but recently I have been breaking out of that and doing other ganres. Transitions are such an important and underrated part of music production especially in the eyes of younger producers and beat makers. I will definitely start using some of these tips into my music! thanks!
Awesome track Z! really liking this one, and as per usual amazing content, sometimes we get a little lazy and rely to much on vengeance fx noise samples for transitioning, this sounds so much more professional, will deffo use in my next track thanks
