To the annoying ass people saying that music producing like this isn't a talent, or it's a disgrace to the generation; you're dull and your opinion is blindly biased. In reality, a person who produces music knows as much about it as someone who learns one instrument and plays in a famous band. If you're a music producer such as Romero, you're essentially a one man band, and you make all the beats and mix them. If you want to bitch and complain about there being almost no vocals, then I don't think you've ever "felt" music in your life. 90% of the time the emotion is in the beat. The lyrics just give it a backbone
Saul Silver In Toulouse, half of the song is very much the beat. The drop makes you feel great and upbeat. This is EDM, we're not talking about Taylor Swift or Adele
at the end of the day all that matters is who's making the hit. Many producers are self taught and use their tools the way it works for them. Theres no right or wrong way of making music. Just enjoy the art of music and move along. - New Generation Music Producer
i watched this for the very first time when the episode came out and now that i re watch it today, 3 years later, i understand pretty much everything lol
I felt the exact same way after re watching this and the avici one. it all used to be a second language. to any future producers, stick with it man. the terminology and logic will eventually feel like second nature
+Brandon Pee im just watching these for the first time rn and in awe cos im trying to understand what they are doing, hopefully i get better with time and understand this jibberish hahahaha
He didn't hide anything, except the part with how to make the tube-sounding phaser @31:45 because it took him 1.5 hours. He encourages you to figure it out yourself. In this video he was like a teacher to me. Thank you Nicky Romero.
Creo que el hace sus canciones con instrumentos y los superpone, o eso me parece porque se nota el uso de una bateria o una guitarra Translate that my english is a shit
To make the axwell woosh use the es p and take the noise up and other waves to 0 and put the frequency in max, the add some modulation delay and get the feedback like -80% and Flanger - Chours at 8% and make the adjust you want to make it sound as you like
its funny because half the producers who do this kind of video have a hard time figuring out how they made certain sounds, they usually don't remember how they did it
So crazy how he created this one really great track and it was such a huge leap for him. I mean i realize he existed before but this track just made his carrer.
Used to be curious about becoming a DJ, mostly because it would be awesome to play in front of massive crowds, but after seeing how complicated it is... holy cow time for a wank
I have windows 7 64bit and when I'm trying to install 'USB-MIDI Driver for Windows7 from yamaha website and as per guidelines in the manual, I get Error 25001 which says - no device is connected." I don't know more what to do, I searched in the internet about 3 hours and didn't find any answer. Many people are with this problem. If someone can help I apreciate.
Love this video. It's so inspiring to see someone so talented at work. Taught me several new Logic tricks too! Thanks Nicky, and thanks Future Music for producing the video.
Best quote, "I used this plugin from Korg called the M1...... I like to use it because it's a different Piano from ones that everyone else uses" Suddenly feeling old here hahahah. The M1 must be one of the most used synths in dance music history?
We are not criticizing the sound, but just the setup of that filter xD nevermind ... It's like putting a trasparent glass in front of a camera, the photo will be exactly the same.
I think it's not really the best for that setup you know, a keyboard/piano is a lot more useful with producing electronic music than a guitar for example.
Now i know why his tracks always sound the same,,, but they are always hot!! he has a good combination of talent and intellect. I was rockin this track from his mixshow last summer ...just makes me want to drift.... Great video
Derpa Herpa FL doesn't have a specific workflow, so things can get super messy really easily. Not sure about what he means by Ableton, but it's just his preference. Not hating on FL or anything, it's a really good program.
I'm surprised, this is basic producing dance music with Logic and mix it ITB with no need of mixing console or outboard gear. I was hoping to see more in depth on how these dance music producers mixing their sound using bus (group) / send to get their sound wide, deep, and compressed.. Since Nicky using lots of pre-build samples so he don't need much processing on each track except comp for side chaining. Just a low cut EQ and Distortion for color/saturation If i'm not mistaken.. Swedish House Mafia did real tracking with mixer console in recording studio. and for the classic reverse reverb part.. he can just do 'Bounce to a new track' to make it simple and ready on a new track.. But, at the end of the day how you mix & master the track is more important to deliver the sound character you need.. :)
You're right that's because in big room/house... tracks you don't need to be superskilled with mixing and sounddesign. The most difficult genres are drum and bass and brostep
25:30 - Staccato* Funny how big EDM producers don't have a shred of knowledge about music theory at all. Kind of urks me. If these people actually took about an hour to google about music theory, they'd make far better tracks, musically. Lol. Still, interesting to see how others produce. The guitar synth is pretty cool, show's you don't need expensive crap to make good sounds!
I've watched several of these videos and you always see these guys sitting at a computer saying they just made or created something and playing it back. I call bullshit. Let's see them actually making a beat or playing pads or a keyboard. These are all samples made by someone else.
Well you can see him playing the chords at 22:24 . Also in most of the future music videos they are mostly for the artist to go through a song they already released and explain their process in making it, not to make a entirely new song.
dunkel000 Look at the rest of this comment section. He receives a ridiculous amount of hate. Just seeing how he can't play his extremely easy thing which he has produced some time ago explains why he receives all this hate. He doesn't know shit.
Silvarret I don't know, you can criticise it but when he's making millions each year and you're just another RU-vid commenter, I'm inclined to want to be him and not you.
What I take from these FM's is 1) it Demystifies these great works, these guys aren't reinventing the wheel. You cant make these songs at home 2) The importance of the blend 3) A lot of playing around and presets when u find what you like 4) The little nuances, (white noise, layered kicks) gives it that feel. 5) FIND A KILLER SYNTH AND CRANK IT!
Ok. I took a dirty bass from massive and ran it through ohmicide for distortion. Then I ran noise through a separate bus, ran it through a preset in fab filter, added distortion, and now I have a bass that sounds just like this guys. I also added a bit of swing to the end of the bass, compressed it with a kick, added sausage fatner, and I got a groovy fucking kick / bass line going. Almost as good as this guys. This is part of the reason I don't like this style of music. Its too simple and easy to copy.
Robert Cece 1. You call "house music" "Edm", you are probably american and too young to understand. 2.Get inspired dont copy. Did you hear toulousse somewhere else before? 3. All you american people want to be famous and copy what you think sounds good, but you dont understand the philosophy and emotion behind it, When something hits the mainstream you distroy it
***** "hardstyle, trance, drum & bass and alot more styles" are the genres, "EDM" is the term that mainstream news needed, to talk about it all as one.
It's not. I use both Logic 9 and Ableton 9. Logic is excellent when it comes to mastering. However it's down to producer preference. A lot of people love fl studio for working with, Savant, Deadmau5 etc...
***** I think the easiest thing in music is only the vocals, if you can sing it's easy. But to create a good beat, an harmony etc, when I heard ppl take months to do a song, I could not believe it, but now I understand.
ZAZE hamuna93 yeah he's a producer. He's certainly not a musician. Millions of people but "lil wayne" records and definitely don't consider him a great musician
ShatteredDimensionz literally tens of thousands of starting producers try to become as good as him but cant but anyone who wants to start a rock band just has to learn to play an instrument which anyone can do not everyone can produce you have to have a certain spark and ear for energy dont look down on producers they do what all your rock bands do but instead of sitting with a guitar they sit at there desk with a midi keyboard and write the chords melodies etc they all understand music theory all of it they just cant play the instrument very well as they dont have time to learn as they have to produce
***** how does one "perform" this kind of music? It's a guy that gets on stage and plays his damn iPod and dances around acting like he's doing something.
and still he's an dj who have been on tomorrowland several times and have many millions. so he doesn't need to know what he's saying because he sure know what he's doing
lasse bjørnstad So worldwide fame and making millions of dollars is what music is about these days? Last time I checked music was a tool used to express emotion. If fame and money is a high priority, you shouldn't be making music, that's just a disgrace. Sure he knows a fair amount and knows a few tricks, but in the end he is just another asshole who got popular with money and promotion not with talent or skill. And why are you guys raging on Phillip? He shared his opinion and you guys just ripped him apart, music is about connecting with people, and that is something you guys are just missing by a long shot. If you wish to respond to this comment, do so with as much of a pissy attitude as possible, I love to see assholes express their anger, just makes me even happier.
bro him and dyro knows lots of things about producing the problem is that he is dutvh and he can't explain to u everything cuz he is hezitatting and it's not his first language
excellent video .. guys .. am dj and live in the state of sao paulo in Brazil. too short and the productions of nicky romero ... and now he's showing his techniques in the studio of producer .. very good .... hugs strong FM (Y) :)
You can use 3xOsc for creating White noise, it's in FLS as default and you just select the noise shape (looks like .wave sound) for all 3 oscilliators, then choose a note and extract it to min. 1:00:000. Then Assign it to a free mixer track and add a fruity free filter. Set "Q" to 1, type stay as low pass, Freq set as something around 300 Hz, then create an automation clip from Freq and set the right point to something between 5 & 10 and the left as around 80 and there you go :) - ColdfireDM :)
