Fred Again’s style is simple yet incredibly tasteful. His drones and those transposed out of nowhere bass lines are the salt and pepper spice to that simplicity. He’s my favorite EDM artist right now.

@vyktorproduction Месяц назад

you said it all, really love the drones he creates.. Wish someone (Alex Rome please please please) would make a video on how to make harmonical drones :p

Simplicity is key! The most timeless tracks are always the simple ones. They seem to connect with people in a way that's different to complex tracks, where if there is to much going on it becomes a bit much. To me, trance became to bulky and it killed the original sound leading it to become very unpopular, while at the same time techno/house stayed true to its roots and has always maintained a strong following by keeping it simple. Of course this is always opinion based and that's my take on it!

@lambbear Месяц назад

Great video and great advice. Especially as someone just starting to get into making music I appreciate hearing that a good song can be very simple and doesn't require tons of overlapping automations. The only automation you used in the video was a volume fade! You do have a way of making Serum look way easier than it actually is tho...how do you do that!?

@DrihunGaming 14 часов назад

sounds like anything you'd find on MrSuicideSheep's channel. Never heard of Fred Again and he sounds like any edm out there, very early 2010s

@stephenking5081 Месяц назад

Hey bro, love what you do, you’ve helped me grow a lot. so I followed you step by step in this tutorial like I always do and the Serum arp synth ended up sounding like a conga drum lol. Did you skip a step in the video? Please reply, this would be really helpful ❤

@rin59 Месяц назад

Can someone explain 3rd and 5th notes and things like tonic and stuff like that to make chords easier to do on my own? To understand them better? Pls

what kick was used at 5:42?

@armi2n Месяц назад

2:55 I think rather than sine wave, Fred is using Rhodes keys.

I don't think you replied to my other comment @Alex Rome but I tried signing up for your online course and your scheduler is messed up! It won't let you change the calendar to next month in order to select a date. Just shooting you another heads up hoping you'll see this msg.

@AlexRome Месяц назад

Hey, my scheduler is not open a month from now. I have to do that manually. Shoot me an email alex@alexromesound.com and I’ll get ya scheduled.

@JimboCruntz Месяц назад

Your arp synth sounds quite messy because you’re playing (drawing) the dotted 8th manually with echo on. I’m pretty sure it’s a dotted 8th delay on a staccato (short plucked notes) synth playing single notes with portamento (slide) on.

🤔Adore u is very chill, but tbh it lacks something compared to some of his other tracks. It's almost 90s dance the way the piano drives it, which isn't a bad thing, but it's still a bit meh. Nice recreate though, Alex!

It's... good background music. I mean I'm not a big artist because I don't upload music but I can write this on a sunday afternoon. I think it's boring. But that's the beauty about music, it's completely subjective.
