    mate I have been producing music for about 13 years now. I wish I had a teacher like you! I had to go through so many tutorials back in the day, you on the other hand explain everything so perfectly. When I started off, everyone explained the science behind the plug ins but no one ever showed the results.

    Thanks ill factor for doing this recreation sound exactly like it in my ears.
    To every one watching this, recreation is the key to get good at production(in a short time) and not only watching this helps but recreating it yourself and getting stuck and figuring limitations and problems

      ​@@chrisglaz1557 I'd argue its not easy as you think. I have the drums and basic chords down. However, if you listen to that vocoder whistle style sample at the start and check out this instrumental (th-cam.com/video/agdXMLXrITM/w-d-xo.html) theres some sound design that I can't work out how to do. The brass sounding synth i'm uncertain of as well.

    The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” rose to number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on March 30. It’s the fifth chart-topper in the R&B singer’s career, but it’s the 23rd chart-topper for one of the men behind the song: co-writer and producer Max Martin, who has helped shape pop music for more than two decades.
