Honestly, the generosity of Howard and Guy really does make me a bit emotional, because the music industry like many is really competitive, and has to be. It takes years of hard work learning audio production and developing a sound, once you have it you don't give it away to keep an edge over the competition. Howard here is giving away a full look behind the scenes of real chart topping music, and incredible songs at that. And i can see that they gain nothing from doing this, they are doing it out of incredible generosity, to give a massive help to the budding producers, to inpire new music, but also because they know the struggle. Incredibly thoughtful and kind. For me its huge, because Disclosure became a reference for me to aim for. Back when Daft Punk, Ed Banger camp and Eric Prydz were the big sound. Disclosure's sound came in with mainstream quality, a bit louder than the rest, but clear and airy. The kick drums alone use to drive me nuts trying to emulate lol. I could make good tracks/music, but if you don't understand the 'framework' of audio capture, then you don't really understand yet where you are aiming in terms of engineering. It takes years, but off and on, somehow, it finally comes together. And its funny now to see their projects, because i was not far off at all back then, i just didnt have the knowledge to confirm that what i was doing was on the right path. I was told of all the different ways they made their music, 'its all analogue mate, and high end mastering'. We didnt think you could get such lush sounds ITB. And here we are all Logic plugins 😂 I hope people can appreciate the sauce being given away here, none of this info was available back in the day. You had to know someone. Its years of work. Lives dedicated to music. Now almost all the info is available online for free. We thought everyone having access to production would be a good thing, but it hasnt really played out that way. Instead, people are spoilt and lazy, and everyone just places samples and makes the same old Trap beats. Music isn't really in a good place right now imo. I think music scenes, underground especially, produced better results. We lost that. It was a far bigger culture. On a positive note, there have been a few great creative artists who may have never had a shot at music, but they are drowned by the ocean of Trap kits 😂 and i be damned if anyone can earn a living from the streaming model. I think i will cater to a niche i love and sell via Bandcamp. Anyway !! This is a big thank you to Howard and Guy, i absolutely love you guys, your music is incredible, sound scape inspirational, and a whole lot of your songs will stay with me for life -but these acts of generosity just put you in a special place of high praise and respect for me. Thank you, thank you, you awesome fellas ! Peace, Love and Merry Christmas 😊
@@disclosure Oh you heroes, i didn't realise you had seen this and responded. So very glad you got to hear how much it is appreciated 🙌 Cheers fellas ! ♥ Disclosure4Life Let's go ! 👏
Kind of. The plugins were not exactly brilliant back then, nor was the functionality on the DAWs. You would also have had to compete with full analogue studios and equipment in 2002, and your digital work would have sounded very weak and brittle in comparison. Most of the DAWs available were centred around MIDI function. Cubase 4 didnt come out until 2006, but it was Cubase 5 that really kicked off the audio and midi integrated DAW that we know of today, and that wasn't released until 2009. Now, if you said 'digital' since 2002, then yes. Something like the Sony Oxford console was available, which had dsp processors onboard (which were later released as Sonnox plugins in 2006), and that console would only have cost you $1 million. Lmao.
I’ve been watching these sessions for a few weeks now. Bought a few plugins (There was huge sales on Pluginboutique and Waves). My tracks are sounding 5 times better now. Guy looks like the kinda guy you could hang out with for months before he tells you he’s in Disclosure. He looks so humble!
Kinda funny that he ended up doing this breakdown in such a low tech, noisy environment after all this time in higher quality settings. Not complaining I just find it funny.
I've a question that has probably been asked alot.... As a newbie music producer... When I listen to latch on TH-cam or Spotify for example... Theres pristine clarity in the finished product... My question is, where does this clarity happen... Is it the Instruments, mix down, mastering, sound selection or all of the above. And also... Do you know what i mean lol
Fell in love with this tune pretty much the first time I heard so to see a breakdown of how it was constructed is a dream come true 👍. If the is one thing I've taken away from watching this is you don't need the latest or fanciest plugins to make a hit song. Thanks so much for sharing this fantastic song breakdown.
Disclosure left a comment, but TH-cam doesn't want to show it
And what was the comment?
Why?
So what they say?

#1 comment. Screenshotted this so i can look at it in the future. Love your take
Thanks dude! ♥
There is nothing groundbreaking in the process, so why not to show it lol

Disclosure guys are the MVPs of the music industry. Love how willing they are to help people learn.
16:19-16:34 such blissfully mellow chords :)
14:32 that beep is so iconic
This is probably my favorite song of my first 20 years of my life and it never gets old.
What a great guy giving free advice on all his tracks, much love
Didn't know that such a big track sounds were made by stock plugins.
It’s the mix
I can tell you I can make 10 songs with the same exact sound you wouldn’t notice.
Ocean Eyes by Billie Eillish was made with stock logic too :)
Really does show you that it isn't the tools used, it's the person using the tools. Pretty awesome and humbling to see
This gotta be the holy grail of Musical Streams
I'm of the opinion that it's been possible to make release quality tracks on pretty much any DAW since around 2002.
Kind of. The plugins were not exactly brilliant back then, nor was the functionality on the DAWs. You would also have had to compete with full analogue studios and equipment in 2002, and your digital work would have sounded very weak and brittle in comparison.

i've seen nearly every disclosure livestream and this one blew me away the most
Crazyy how I haven't heard this song for like 5 years but I can still humm the melody... I find that pretty crazy
You’re my hero, musical streams
I really appreciate this post.
90% stock plugins, no plugins on master bus! Yeah you don't need to spend a lot of money to make a hit!
Just a lot of good samples
@@p.t491 😆
Yeah but this would have been sent to a mix engineer
Yes but you’re forgetting the human outboard weapon Sam Smith…he’s a hit with a tack piano
Good plugins make your life a lot easier though.
♥️ Disclosure
When the Chords come in.. Just WOW!!!!
Feels like you're getting hugged
Thanks!! 13:00 22:00
Seeing only a limiter on his drum buss made me realize Im trying to do WAY too much
finallyyyyy I WAS WAITING FOR THAT ALL MY LIFE!!!!

this was a dream come true thank you
Sam Smith is such a ridiculously good vocalist jesus christ
Anybody know what app/program that is at 56:40?
Audio Hijack
rogue amoeba's hijack audio
Looked like audio hijack to me
I got the same question
Such a Xmas gIft
Kinda funny that he ended up doing this breakdown in such a low tech, noisy environment after all this time in higher quality settings. Not complaining I just find it funny.
agreed... hahaha
This was absolutely amazing to watch
I've waited so long for this one!!
Amazing. Thanks for showing us around in the original project!
Thats crazy i thought there was alot more going on with the bass line
Anyone have a link to the drum samples?
I must say the vocal is a is insane
i hope he does an omen breakdown
thank you for uploading m8
This. is. incredible.
I've been waiting for this. So glad they did it.

That seems to be the hardest part to master, it’s a combination of everything but mixing is probably the biggest chunk. Learn EQ first!

Bravo.
I would have thought this was made with all kind of analog gear and plugins
Didn’t realise logic had such beautiful synths…..
