Thanks so much for watching! In this video we break down my cover of Lost With You by Patrick Watson, and discuss some takeaways for making indie piano ballads in the style of Patrick Watson, Lissom, S. Carey, James Blake, and more. Specifically, we focus on techniques for making MIDI pianos sound as realistic as possible so you don't need access to a real upright or grand piano.

What if i want to sing a cover song in another language?
So why does DistroKid charge you for a licence for a cover ? Ok watched the whole video, it’s because other legal jurisdictions require a licence
The effort oh my god, that was amazing!!!
Its good
That 9th chord on jigsaw section reminds me more of the john mayer - no such thing lol
drop the song now!
Can i Change the Tempo and Genre of a Song ? I have Cover vocals from a Pop Song and have made an uptempo version is this ok?
yeah absolutely! that should fall under the "necessary changes to fit the new genre" umbrella
I Love Radiohead but if anything from your lifetime is your favorite album, you need some deeper musical education
This is a wild take. I'm one music degree in and have yet to find anything that speaks to me on the same level. How does the year something was made have anything to do with it being great?
Great video! Thanks for explaining your techniques! I'm definitely going to try layering my vocals!
amazing, glad to hear it, thanks for watching!
Thanks for going through your mixing process though! Really helps out!
glad to hear, thanks for watching!
❤😂😂😂🎉🎉😢😢
Dear Lucas, I don't know if you'll read this, but here goes anyway. I rarely ever comment in general but I've been following your content for a while. I've learnt quite a lot of things from your content, thank you for that. I started playing your EP "This Place". I'm halfway through and I'm so in awe of the production, songwriting that I can't wait to comment this until the end haha, what a beautiful body of art! If it isn't a lot to ask, I would love it if you can make a video running thorough the making of this EP and the challenges you faced while producing such beauty. Please consider the idea and thank you very much again for sharing such wonderful art with the world. Best to you! ❤️
thank you so much, this is so kind and I appreciate it a ton :) As much as I'm proud of that EP I don't think I'll be doing any deep-dives into the production process, I didn't really take any footage of it and it was all done quite a while ago (before I started making youtube videos properly). If you look on my instagram though there are a few videos from around that time breaking things down on b-side and kensington mainly. I also have an old youtube video breaking down Echoes! All that being said, I am working on a new EP that I'm releasing this year so I'll be making some content around that!
hello! do you mind me asking what daw this is?
Fl studio
Please don't apologize for the music theory. Sophisticated music like Radiohead doesn't just happen. They know what they are doing, and we need to know also. Knowledge is a good thing. The more the better.
Very much agreed! There's a weird trend though in the modern music world of people rejecting theory which is why I approach it cautiously. Imo there certainly is a time and a place to turn off the analytical part of your brain and let the music carry you (kind of what theory haters advocate for), but I think being able to look back and analyze/understand what you did in that flow state is super important too!
How many of these are just junky AI?
@@slcism when I made this video, almost none. Now practically every one lol. Honestly might not be worth it anymore at all
Can you do a Mitski video next? Big fan
thank you! Love Mitski, next few are planned out already but that style is definitely on my radar for this year!
Wished I watched this video before starting some campaigns... Total waste of my money. 😒
yeahhh it's an odd site...and it's been years since I posted this video, from what I've heard it's taken a turn for the worse with the accessibility of AI nowadays. I'd avoid at this point most likely.
New Sub👊🏾 thank you 🙏🏽 this explains alot I’m trying to drop My Funny Valentine for Valentine Day in 2025
thank you, glad to hear!
I always wondered how alternative indie can be made. But now i learned Thank you ❤
Glad I could help, thanks for watching!
@ would like to see Novo amor tutorial
@@Chinarkashmirmusic you're in luck! working on an S. Carey/Novo Amor style one right now!
@ That is a great news. When are you dropping it?
I’m not 100% sure, I’m producing a song for a client in the video so it depends when he wants to release the song
Thank you for this! I'm not a music creator, but I wanted to know if someone could hum or sing a song casually in videos without making trouble for themselves. Your video gives me a little understanding.
thanks! It's a very confusing world haha, but you should be good especially if it's a short segment!
Videotape or dayli battles please LUcas ! 🙏🏻
ouu great songs! Always meant to do a Videotape cover I might do that at some point for sure
That rots!
Ur super talented!! Sounds amazing
thank you!
believe it or not i was JUST about to record a kind of indie piano ballad........so this tool appears , and it's what i needed
haha amazing timing, super glad to hear that!
@@lucasfourniermusic it's been syncronicity
It's crazy that you only have 4k! I wish I found this vid sooner
ah thanks so much, I really appreciate it :)
This is great, it's hard to find production tutorials where the final product is actually good but yours is beautiful!
that means a ton, thanks so much for watching!
Let me ask you something homie.. if I use the instrumental of an artist and write unique lyrics to it, similar to weird Al, and I get a copyright ID claim, could I get demonetized? I don't know... I got demonetized for something lol and TH-cam doesn't tell you what you did but you can reapply in 90 days..
yeah that sounds like the exact kind of thing that could get you demonetized, haha - writing new lyrics to an existing instrumental is a derivative work under copyright law so would require a sync license to monetize on youtube
Очень красиво!
I actually like that your vocal chains are simple. A lot of people I see put like 10+ different plugins and I was thinking there’s no way this is necessary haha
there's a time and a place for it, but generally people tend to over-complicate for sure haha
Thank you for this video man! This is so awesome!!!
you're very welcome, thanks for watching!
This is absolute gold.
thanks so much!!
Sounds more like a Puma Blue song but I'll take that
idk Puma Blue, sounds like I need to check them out! Thanks for watching :)
What if I record to the original song's beat with different lyrics? Is that a cover? And can I post it to TH-cam???
nope, and probably not! that would be a derivative work that you'd need a sync license for if you wanted to monetize
Do you have any vocal presets for sale?
no I don't unfortunately, not a huge fan of one-size-fits-all presets tbh
Unburdened by what has been!
This is more about sound design techniques, rather than realism.
uhh...yeah, it's about sound design that helps create realism, that's kind of the point haha
So beautiful 😍
Lang Lang is that you! Love it!!
HAHA I wish!
It’s soothing
I love this music
So calming 🥰
Loveee
thank you :)
so fire
❤
Awwwhhh I’m melting❤
What happens if you wanna cover a leaked song or an unreleased song ?
that's a really interesting one, and I'm not 100% sure. Likely the artist will have already registered the copyright, so it's probably a very similar process.
Love love and love mate 🇮🇳🫂💖🤗 thank you so much for providing us such informative tutorial keep it up 🤗💖✨
you're very welcome, thanks so much for watching!
Hey Lucas, what about remixes? I have a few songs that I downloaded the instrumental off TH-cam and recorded new lyrics on top. I plan to record a video to it. What are the rules for YT, IG, and other platforms for content like this?
sorry for the late reply - are these instrumentals from beat channels that are meant for commercial use, or of existing songs? Taking an existing released song (especially from a major label) and recording new lyrics to it is kind of a cardinal copyright sin, assuming you want to monetize
Are the acoustics hard L&R and vocals 40% L&R? cool video
yeah right around there! thanks so much for watching :)
