midnight rain was every producers favorite song from the album lol
Midnight Rain is absolute GAS. The intro in Paris was also production gold.
I never would have been able to make so many synths sound so fluid and glued together. Great job and thanks for the production tips. Immediately subscribed.
I would never be able to come with anything half as good as this but man was it great to watch someone do it!
This album is really well-produced!! Thank you for your video! Really appreciate that you take some time to share your knowledge!
Amazing production. And all by your self. You are a super talented production machine. Thanks a lot for the value that you give.
Awesome, thanks man! You make it look so easy!
Thank you very much. Really appreciate your hard working. Keep it up!
Love it my dear... words fail... I see the effort you put in your work... which is a great gift to us all ...... an impeccable production... pure excellence.... 🙏🌹
Great work sir , sharing knowledge is the best thing u can give to the others 🙏
as always....awesome!
Awesome as always! I'd love to see a 1975 type song. Jack antonoff really killed it with both these albums😱
Tune in next week 😝
YEsssss
Thanks for LFO on the bass tip! I was had tried to get that sound with a gate.
Thanks for this man👌❤️🔥
Oh my God. This is definitely a bomb. Pls keep this up. I really appreciate your effort
One more thing I would love you to do is analyzing her backgrounds vocal (sometimes it dropped in left and right pan, and soaring with heavy reverb)
Extraordinary!
♥️
Austin, you, sir, is a legend!
I wish I could buy your program thats coming up, but as I live in Brazil, and it'll probably be in dollars, is gonne be a bit expensive, but I learn a lot from you!
Thank you for the content!
Great stuff Austin. As always, your breakdown is on-point and well delivered. You've become my go-to source for newer pop techniques. Many thanks.
We really appreciate that 😁
Love these breakdown videos for sure! Great stuff!
We love making them!
Great work dude !
Legendary! Best ❤
Fantastic video as always! Loved that filler bass that you added, it definitely made the production feel extra special.
Those little moments are definitely what takes a track to the next level!
Dude you’re such a legend
holy hell, I know nothing about music and it seems like a huge learning curve but this so great, im wanting to make an instrumental track with that Maroon sound for a video product im making, thankyou so much for this video
your vocals are incredible
This was definitely what i ve been looking for this month, Austin I have no words for your hard work and consistency in you tutorials and sample packs . Just don't stop posting this stuffs at all social medias. It is very helpful and life changing skills ur sharing , BIG THANKS !
Thank you! Wait until you see what we've been working on all year! It's coming soon and it's WILD!
@@MakePopMusic Oww I'm exited Austin
Crazy good tutorial - thanks so much for doing this!
Thank you!!
Only a few mins in but Damn that intro was slick Austin, really mastered that
This is amazing
thanks for it!!!! REALLY!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ always a good guru 🙏
Cool! I'll start my next project with drums first. Hopefully it'll not go into the "unfinished projects" folder😆 Have a good day, Austin👍
Hi thanks for your videos I use Logic Pro x for my original writing. When I have trouble for ideas you help with getting my creativity flowing.
Killer content as always man
Thank you! I appreciate you!
@@MakePopMusic Of course!

That Vocal Effect is Very similar and amazing😗. This Channel is Gem and Best for🔥🔥 pop song .........
People's r missing such content 😥
Thank you so much!
Omg you’re a swiftieeeeee!
It feels like weekend+ Taylor Swift song
Just one Word A M A Z I N G!!!
Thank you so much!
Can’t wait your program
Thank you! We are so excited about it 😁
OMG I LOVED IT, I would like to know which the sample pack it is in. In your website, what the pack name?
Awesome, more i watch your channel more i want start to produce, great video, go direct in the sound and technic and pro composing sound, without unuseful talk
imo ur song sounded better somehow, like more vibrant and cleaner. loved it.
nice vibe! :) gotta check new Taylor.
Hello sir you are amazing,just wondering whether you ever bounce the midi to audio.... 🙏
damn these are good videos
Thanks!
Please do folklore/evermore!!!
Can you put this in TH-cam music Spotify? This is so good
Galing mo naman
Can you make anti-hero? + free samples hehe.
Hey. Also I wanna ask if something alternative to the Lustrous Plates - Platinum with a more popular plugins?
Really appreciate your content
A plate in Verbsuite could work, a plate in Vintage Verb could work, Pro-R could work. Basically a short, bright, wide plate reverb will do the job.
❤️❤️❤️
💛
Which pad from Analog Lab did you use?
Are the harmonic vocals copied or re-recorded again?
Hi Austin, it seems that your TLS-Version on your website for the free goodies is to old. There is no acces at the moment. by the way, you have great videos.
Next video about how to make a daft punk type song, please?
❤️✌️
😍
imagine not knowing this channel 🥵
Couldn't be me....
what tempo is it in btw??
Please answer one question only, one only. Why does this mix sound so good when it's in the production stage. I was always tought to produce at low levels at 0 on VU meter witch translates to like -18 LUFS.
So why does your sound so good and loud. Do you do production with the limiters/exciters on the master channel?
Thank you
I mix as I go, and most of a good mix is just getting a good arrangement! I don’t use the VU meter or LUFS guidelines. I just use my ears and then flick on my master chain when I’m like 70% done.
This final track was like -7.8LUFS and it had a full master chain on it
@@MakePopMusic thank you so much for the answer. Your answer will change how I make music. Exactly what i needed. This is the shortest most informative answer i ever hot in my life. Thank you
What type of computer do you have for these sessions?
Custom PC build! We have a video on the channel with all of my specs!
Content is great and informative as always.
I'd love to see your take on a Lana Del Rey type song.
Cant download the free stuff :(
Raw Stems Please 🙂
02:23
Can I get the lyrics?
Day 2 of asking for a tutorial on an Alexander Stewart type song
Does anyone know how he got pro q3 to open up like that? 12:15
Just write some automation! Click the write button in your DAW, and drag the parameters while the track plays! Then make sure your "read automation" is selected. It will replay the changes you made in real time!
FYI - the wetransfer download link for the Midnight presets/samples appears to be broken. The rest works. Feel free to remove this comment once you've checked/corrected the issue (or whenever you want, I mean it's your channel - hahaha). Thanks!
I just tried it and it's working on my end.
@@MakePopMusic huh. I guess I’ll sign up with a different email and try again. For whatever reason the Midnight and Dawn FM links just resulted in error messages. Everything else worked.
@@MakePopMusic Went back to the original landing page and tried again and it worked this time. I guess wetransfer was having temporary issues earlier. Anyhow - thanks!
is the mic floating??
It was on a stand 😂 it does look like it though!
link is not working🙄
Just checked and it's working on our end! Just pop in your name and email and it will unlock the freebie portal
DO YOU TEACH MUSIC PRODUCTION AND SONGWRITING FOR A BEGINNER. WHO HAS NO KNOWLEDGE OF MUSIC
You’re a good tech but her music is plastic nursery rhymes for toddlers
I'll take this any day, over the shit that I am regularly exposed to: brainy, alternative people, and their connection among opera, hard rock, metal, symphonies, and BMW shit. BTW, great use of keyboards, all throughout. All modern. No frightening, vintage, antique bullshit invovled.
This is crazy. Just what I’ve been looking for for the past few days. I should’ve known YOU’d be the hero 🤍👏👏
