Isabella Gonzalez are you talking about what he is saying at the end about all the Secrets of a Good production? I totally aggree.still Studying audio Engineering but i Think it won't be necessary in the near future with more and more production channels
TAICU, actually I believe audio engineering will always be important to study because not every artist is interested in learning the ins and outs of music production, so that will always keep people like yourself employed. When I lived in Nashville, one of my neighbors who used to write songs told me "As long as you know how to work the boards, you'll always have a job". And he was right.
I wouldn’t last very long as a producer if I had to work with “artists” who stare at their phones waiting for you to impress them. Respect to this dude for making it happen.
And checking your post history, it’s absolutely laughable YOU call yourself an “artist”. Your voice sounds like absolute shit and you suck at guitar. Delete the vids and stop embarassing yourself
Honestly, as a session musician or producer that’s kind of how it is a lot of the time. You get thrown into situations where you’ll walk into a room, meet people for the first time, and they’ll just be like “alright show us what you got”. And then you just play something until they like it enough to stop you lol
he's really aslo referring to this information age we're living in where literally the future will be so much more accelerated and advanced because of people like him sharing specific information about certain craft. Love it
Even Potatoes sprout out to be a stud spud once in a while ... once injected with enough hormones...think of this video as a dose of your daily GMO...invest enough, ingest enough and bye bye brown eyed potato...
brightonbarnes Most producers are cool 😎 usually very passionate about the music without being bossed around too much or corrupted by the industry. So they’re paid to do what they love
You can see how much he loves his job! To be a producer you have to have that innate right brained imaginative creativity but also the extreme obsessive left brained attention to detail...talmbout cancelling out frequencies im just like this song goes off
I guess you mean Beat Maker aka Songwriter or Composer. Oak is both a Songwriter and a Record Producer. Producers have nothing to do with making beats as that's a management directing role in the studio. I do both roles my self just like Oak. When Oak is making beats hes wearing the Composer's hat, when hes not making beats, hes working with his artist in the studio one on one wearing the Producer's hat. Some times hes wearing both hats at the same time like he did with this song. Most Hip Hop Producers started out as Beat makers before taking over the acting role as a Producer as they are generally credited twice for both roles. Scott Storch is also a Songwriter/Producer. Here's what he has to say. *"In terms of working with the artist or vocalist, you know its important to come back and stay through with that, if you're going to call yourself a producer on a track. You know, you don't want to be just a track maker. To be a Producer, you wanna follow through and you know, push the artist and get the best record possible because its only going to help you. A Real Producer sees the whole thing through and has input through the whole vision of the record, from you know, what the melody is going to be on top, you know you, at least collaborate with some body on that, have an input on that, you know, sit there behind the board, trying to get a good vocals out of somebody, you know, or at least monitor the situations.- Scott Storch"* [Source: New Interview With Scott Storch 2015 Beat Camp]
Eman 08 What are you talking about??? “Producers have nothing with making beats” I agree with a lot of what you say in that comment like there is defo a difference between producer, beat-maker, songwriter, etc and Scott Storch is a songwriter-producer yes, but saying producers have nothing to do with making the beat is ridiculous.
@Kiazer-Man Dude, its pretty self explanatory. You just don't understand what a Producer is and what they actually do. I do both roles myself as a Record Producer and Beat maker just like Oak. The Traditional role of a Record Producer has NOTHING to do with making beats. They "Direct and Oversee" the vision of an entire record. P-Diddy is a Producer and he doesn't make beats. Chris Lord-Alge is a Producer and he doesn't make beats. Beyonce Knowles, Missy Elliott and Mary J. Blige are acting role Vocal Producers and Executive Producers and they don't make beats either. Beat makers are "Songwriters" which is an entirely different role. Record Producers generally hire people to work for them. They generally hire songwriting and production teams, session musicians, string conductor and Engineers to work for them. If a Record Producer is heavily involved in the "Songwriting" process such as providing the beat or writing the lyrics then they are an acting dual role Record Producer and Songwriter. About 90% of all well known Hip Hop & R&B Producers are Songwriter's & Record Producer's esp Scott Storch, Rodney Jerkins, Bryan-Michael Cox, Pharrell Williams etc. Hip Hop Producers are generally more involved in the songwriting process of a the record such as providing the beat compared to a Rock Producer that would only direct & oversee the record that is only credited as "Producer" and nothing else. Hip Hop Producers are often credited as both "Producer" and "Writer" in production credits. If all you do is make beats and that's it, you are nothing more than just a Beat Maker aka a Writer or Composer.
I studied recording engineering and when it came to mixing, (basically smack dab in the middle of my schooling) “just turning knobs” was actually a technical technique. Sometimes you don’t always know what sound you want. Much of the production process is just turning knobs until more precision is needed. Gotta learn sometime xD
SAILOR MANe. All you mean is it’s a Pop song with modern Hip Hop influences Saying it’s a London on the Track/DJ Mustard rip off is an extremely inaccurate stretch. Especially since DJ Mustard’s signatures are 3 things really: finger-snaps, offbeat ‘what’ vocal shouts throughout & fat saw wave synth bass. This song only has the finger-snap which is the least important of his 3 giveaway’s anyway. Something like Kanye & Lil Pump’s new song may be a Mustard rip off or Iggy Azalea - Fancy, but this is just you hating on a song because it lends similarity to a sound that’s very popular right now. Not a rip-off & still a great song produced very well.
As someone who has grown up in a musical family, but always had a strong interest in producing, I appreciate these videos so freaking much. Plus I love hearing the producers just talk more. Growing up I only ever heard the singers talk about the songs, but you knew full well the majority didn't have a part in the production/making of the song. Producers used to be like little hidden wizards to me when I was younger, haha, but seriously mad respect and thanks a lot for these videos!
WOW. Best video I've seen in forever! 😵😍🙌 First off, as soon as I heard this song I was instantly captured, it's just ridiculously good and I also love the gospel and RnB vibe. Always loved Demi's voice as well. Second of all, I knew I had to find who wrote the song just to know who this person was. That's when I found Oak Felder and I was instantly captured by his personality and locked in to his powerful, soft charisma and the presence he just brings... that of a person who knows God and seems to have suffered a great deal. The kind of person you just wanna sit and wait for them to open their mouth and tell you something, give you a insight into their thoughts and experiences, knowledge and also wisdom. On top of this, I'm very interested in music production and have been reading and watching so much of the creative process behind the making of pop songs - which I just love. That's why I listened to every word of his instructions like it was pure gold. I'm also so impressed and in awe by the fact that he wants to progress art as a whole and doesn't care about keeping those things secret to help some people stay on top and others to not progress, that's wonderful in a way that I love soo much! And to know that this song came about in 30 minutes, that's mindblowing!! That kinda seems like some kind of miracle to me 😄👏🙌 Thank you for making this video, it was awesome!! Love from Sweden
I love how the project file is casually titled "DemiSorry" because I feel like anyone who produces music/messes around in DAWs names their tracks really basic stuff like that haha
Nothing new. That's the Master Recording of the finished record with vocal production and backing track arranged, gluded together and mixed before it's gets rendered into an Audio file the Master's.
I fucking love how with Oak, its all about taking simple arrangements but relying on the nuances in each elements to turn the track into something that sounds totally new, rather than feeling like you have to rely on the slyest chord progressions, and the most complicated programming. Art is in the subtlety.
I like everything about this guy as a producer, not only is he a dope producer but he would also be a great teacher....when he explains about producing he does it so naturally and plain as if he's having a normal conversation without all the unnecessary jargon alot of others do.
I knew I had heard that "GO" sound before when I heard it! 😂 I figured out it's in each of these songs, within the first 10 seconds: "Sorry not sorry" - Demi Lovato "Daddy issues" - Demi Lovato "Your love" - Nicki Minaj "Save me" - Nicki Minaj "Body rock" - Mprynt 😍 Maybe more songs as well but these are the ones that I've been listening to 😊
Really cool that he doesn't mind sharing his ideas and tools he used. He's right about showing, it adds to the art and curiosity of others. I agree with that.
he's really aslo referring to this information age we're living in where literally the future will be so much more accelerated and advanced because of people like him sharing specific information about certain craft. Love it
Every single producer samples but most of them hide that fact. It's nothing to be ashamed about cause at the end of the day you are the creator of the final masterpiece.
Thank you and to his last comment Any real artist is fine reaching out and teaching its these wanna be famous cats that only have a dollar amount thought of that are stingy Aint nothing wrong with helping someone get somewhere, because someday they might be further ahead and remember that you helped and even if they dont acknowledge it you know you did
Love this video so much! As a blind individual who loves to produce, it’s always fascinating to hear the different ways other producers make their music. I made a short cover of sorry, not sorry on GarageBand, using the same gospel/piano that you showed us in the beginning of the video, turned out pretty well.
Great Job! 1 point.... Ducking is only attenuation by the set amount. You're not ducking Out, the 808 is still there. The same as using the side chain; However, this plug-in gives you more control by targeting specific frequencies. I will add it to my tool box. Thanks for the lesson Professor Felder. All love, 1Nation... Out!
You are one in a million to be the most honest genuine producer not those that make a person sign something he or she don't know about you care about the their interests just saying
DJ HiTop I was just about to say this lmao! He did TED talks and like 4 other videos breaking down the same song. It was a good song but damn move on lol.
Hyperbits this is supposed to be Demi’s own record label studio which is safe house records maybe because she records there itself and it is supposed to be that studio
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing man!!! Never used that SurferEQ plugin before, and I've often had that same issue. I never knew someone came up with a solution for it! Woot!
I don’t know anything about music production but I was engaged this whole video. Even though I didn’t really understand the details this was fascinating!
One thing I would love Splice to do, is for the producer to somehow screencast their recording. So we are hearing the before and after of instruments through their actual computer, instead of a camera mic listening to the producers speakers. If that makes sense. I think there is a small hardware device that you can plug into an audio interface that can record it (while also going through his speakers) so the editor can edit the sounds in later, so the producer will not have to download any software or do anything. I hope this makes sense. But it will just be so much more helpful. I don't even write this type of music, but I always love to watch how different artists produce their tracks.
For producers out there who don't have that sidechain plugin, you can also do the EQ specific ducking technique with a multiband compressor by isolating your low end frequency in the multiband and sidechaining it to a kick.
I guess you mean beat makers and composers? Producers have nothing to do with making beats or mixing or anything like that. Oak is what you call a Songwriter/Producer as hes both a composer of tracks and a record producer for directing and overseeing the overall whole production. He wears two different hats as hes a real producer when is not making beats. Producers work with the artist in the studio, they coach the artist how they want them to rap or sing, they are involved in vocal and song arrangment. Producers are similar to Film Directors as they tell you what to do as they are the big boss in the studio that hire's and directs a team of writers, engineers, beat makers and musicans that work for them. Most Hip Hop Producers started out as Beat makers before they took over the acting role as a Record Producer. Thats why Oak, Timbaland, J.R Rotem, Scott Storch, Dr. Dre, Pharrell Williams, Rodney Jerkins or Bryan Michael Cox are even called "Producer's" in the first place because they are all real producers when they aren't making beats. They are all often credited twice in production credits as both Writer and Producer for both roles. Beat Makers are credited as Writer, Composer or Programming in production credits as they fall under the songwriting umbrella. Producer=Director Songwriter/Composer=Beat Maker
@@dgv3584 Glad I was able to clear some things up. I know alot people out there often get beat making mixed up with Producer. The term Producer is often misued and abused in the music industry. Many young people making beats that are comming up often confuse themselfs calling themselves producers when they haven't educated thier self on the role of a record producer and what they acutally do. I think the misconception comes from seeing Dr. Dre, Timbo or Pharrell Williams making beats and assumed thats what a Producer was and what they do, when in reality they don't realize they are wearing a completely different hat thats unrelated to their role as a Producer. Most people are unware that these guys were wearing two different hats the whole time all these years. Most people never really saw a video of Pharrell Williams or Dr. Dre working in the studio with the artist directing when they aren't making beats as they don't just only make beats. Pharrell Williams working in the studio with Justin Timberlake is a great example of the role as a Producer. While Justin is writing to Pharrells beat, they are both colaborating on ideas as Pharrell gives Justin ideas how Justin should sing a certain way or what the melody should sound like. Pharrell is the director in charge that sits behing the mixing board along side his engineer while Justin is in the vocal booth. There quite a few vidoes here on youtube of behind the scenes of Justins Justified album with Timbo, Scott Storch and Pharrell in the studio working with Justin. I've been a beat maker myself since 2004 as I started out a very old ass version of FL Studio called fruity loops at the time before they changed the name to FL Studio with version 4.0. I then moved on to Propellerheads Reason 4.0 and hardware such as an MPC, Yamaha Motif and The Fantom X etc. I didn't become a Producer until 2008 working directly with my very first artist one on one. I've learned alot from my own artist on becoming a producer since he writes, sings, makes his own beats and produce. Hes a very experienced singer as he worked with P-Diddy back in the early 2000s as he was part of MTV Making The Band 2 back then. Before I was a Producer I normally would send beats off to people, but made mistakes and gotten burned not getting paid for my beats or fully paid. Now that I've been a Producer for the past 10 years, I always worked directly with the artist and make them sign Producer/Artist contract agreements. A lot of beat makers these days are kinda wearing the Engineers hat while they compose beats like what you mentioned about side chain compression esp in todays modern era of DAWs as normally thats the Mix Engineers job like Tony Maserati. Normally when its time to add vocals, the Mix Engineer would need the multi STEM tracks of your beat that needs to be bounced or tracked out so they can mix the beat and the vocal as if it were a band as one session.
Man.... When I first started in this production world, I couldn't hear the difference between snaps at 3:31 , but now after almost 2 months...after a little learning.. practicing...I accidentally came here and ...the ears are developing on their own... Now I can actually hear what difference the producer is actually talking 'bout Man...humans do develop.. I feel awesome 😂😂😂 like superman 😂😂😂
The tip about side chaining a specific frequency instead of the whole signal is gold!
I know right ??
Man.... True gold there..... I am trying to figure it out how to use it in reason 🤔
Same bro! I'm firing up Reason right now.
someone knows how the plugin name?
@@Kuk_24 Surfer eq2...you can also do it by manually figuring out the frequencies which clash.
He's right. And I feel like people seriously underestimate the PURE ART in the production/process in the making of the music itself.

Its just wonderful
#facts
I love how he describes everything that he's doing. Not filled with jargon, perfect combo of technical terms and really simple explanation.
I wouldn’t last very long as a producer if I had to work with “artists” who stare at their phones waiting for you to impress them. Respect to this dude for making it happen.
Check Oak’s history, previous. He’s insane.
Because there’s lyrics on the phone dumbass. And Demi is an artist, you’d have to be fucking stupid to think otherwise
And checking your post history, it’s absolutely laughable YOU call yourself an “artist”. Your voice sounds like absolute shit and you suck at guitar. Delete the vids and stop embarassing yourself

Last statement. Loved it.
Pawan Thapa exactly
me too... really touched me actually. What a great guy
Yeh, its about the art, not the tools.
he's really aslo referring to this information age we're living in where literally the future will be so much more accelerated and advanced because of people like him sharing specific information about certain craft. Love it
Yes!
Ps i liked in the Beginning when he said ' " i was already a Fan of Demi, because of vocals " True
Ghida Ramadan I never knew her as a vocalist until now so I guess...
Ghida Ramadan yesssss vocals were slick!
he said "because I love vocalists"
The Core You clearly don't know anything about the songs he's wrote and produced.
The Core still better than you.. Haha
hes amazing!
THAIBEATS you are too, you inspire me big time
THAIBEATS 2
Love ur work bruh
I thought this was going to be a “everyone can make music!1” kinda video but instead I leave feeling more like “I’m a potato”
You are potato

he seems like a cool producer

Best job ever :)
Yes. He is
This should be a series. Keep it coming plz.

Thank you Oak Felder so sharing what you know and also sharing that there ARE production secrets. You opened my eyes.
Such a good dude. I had the pleasure of speaking with him alot while I was interning at a studio where he was working for a long time. Congrats Oak!!
3:45 GOOOOOOOO!!!...very important
😂
I live for that sound it's so cool 💯
I knew I had heard that "GO" sound before when I heard it! 😂
I figured out it's in each of these songs, within the first 10 seconds:
"Sorry not sorry" - Demi Lovato
"Daddy issues" - Demi Lovato
"Your love" - Nicki Minaj
"Save me" - Nicki Minaj
"Body rock" - Mprynt
😍 Maybe more songs as well but these are the ones that I've been listening to 😊
I'm not really into Nicki but it's a funny coincidence that I love those two songs and they were also produced by this guy.
The "GO!" sample made its way into sample libraries like Zero-G Datafile.
Really cool that he doesn't mind sharing his ideas and tools he used. He's right about showing, it adds to the art and curiosity of others. I agree with that.
Lots of love to Oak Felder. Thank you for giving us these secrets. I honestly learned so much just by watching this a few times

Use 808 bass
Or some meth

man i wish this video was like 10x longer. so cool to see behind the scenes stuff like this
an open and honest guy who knows what he's talking about. Uncommon
Great Job! 1 point.... Ducking is only attenuation by the set amount. You're not ducking Out, the 808 is still there. The same as using the side chain; However, this plug-in gives you more control by targeting specific frequencies. I will add it to my tool box. Thanks for the lesson Professor Felder. All love, 1Nation... Out!
Watched the documentary of Demi yesterday. Oak blew my mind and now im searching for all his videos
You are one in a million to be the most honest genuine producer not those that make a person sign something he or she don't know about you care about the their interests just saying
I've heard this dude tell this story in three different videos and he tell it different each time.
DJ HiTop I was just about to say this lmao! He did TED talks and like 4 other videos breaking down the same song. It was a good song but damn move on lol.
which parts are different?
Always love watching behind the scenes videos and the the making of process.And I freaking love ising splice.So fun and cool.
Where is this shot? Studio looks dopeee
Hyperbits this is supposed to be Demi’s own record label studio which is safe house records maybe because she records there itself and it is supposed to be that studio
Los Angeles where everything amazing is
Looks like a pretty simple, standard home studio in this shot
So knowledgeable!! It’s so cool to learn about music.
Nice. Splice is where it is at!
Fantastic video, thanks for sharing man!!! Never used that SurferEQ plugin before, and I've often had that same issue. I never knew someone came up with a solution for it! Woot!
I work in Logic too. Thank you for the info, and I love this song too!!!!
Idk what he sayin but im loving his enthusiasm and vibe
Respect for all the producers out there.
You can give all the secrets out in the world, somebody still needs to write a good song. Production won't save a bad song but it can help a good one.
This was dope @Splice!!!
Loved every second of this 🙌🏽
Oak Fielder Takin' over The whole Music Industry
Finally a producer that you can understand
I don’t know anything about music production but I was engaged this whole video. Even though I didn’t really understand the details this was fascinating!
So cool 😎 Oak is the man! Really like his opinion about producers being more open.
Much respect big homie! I def appreciate you sharing some of your knowledge!🙌🏿
Awesome! Thanks very much for the upload (good infomertial right there).
This song is amazing!! So glad Demi worked with you in this song. I love tje lyrics but I love more the rhythm😍😍🙌🙌🙌
Yes I agree....you're not giving away the talent, just a few of the spices. Great attitude.
One thing I would love Splice to do, is for the producer to somehow screencast their recording. So we are hearing the before and after of instruments through their actual computer, instead of a camera mic listening to the producers speakers. If that makes sense. I think there is a small hardware device that you can plug into an audio interface that can record it (while also going through his speakers) so the editor can edit the sounds in later, so the producer will not have to download any software or do anything.
I hope this makes sense. But it will just be so much more helpful. I don't even write this type of music, but I always love to watch how different artists produce their tracks.
uh im pretty sure people would just rip the sample
Petition to have Oak Felder start a tutorial channel!
The most humble man in music ;)
That last statement! Words to live by!
After I watched demi's documentary I realized oak is an awesome producer!
SO much work for that one clap.. very impressive.
I agree with him. Producing music takes a lot of talent and work. This definitely shows that you really have to know what you're doing.
For producers out there who don't have that sidechain plugin, you can also do the EQ specific ducking technique with a multiband compressor by isolating your low end frequency in the multiband and sidechaining it to a kick.
I guess you mean beat makers and composers? Producers have nothing to do with making beats or mixing or anything like that. Oak is what you call a Songwriter/Producer as hes both a composer of tracks and a record producer for directing and overseeing the overall whole production. He wears two different hats as hes a real producer when is not making beats. Producers work with the artist in the studio, they coach the artist how they want them to rap or sing, they are involved in vocal and song arrangment. Producers are similar to Film Directors as they tell you what to do as they are the big boss in the studio that hire's and directs a team of writers, engineers, beat makers and musicans that work for them. Most Hip Hop Producers started out as Beat makers before they took over the acting role as a Record Producer. Thats why Oak, Timbaland, J.R Rotem, Scott Storch, Dr. Dre, Pharrell Williams, Rodney Jerkins or Bryan Michael Cox are even called "Producer's" in the first place because they are all real producers when they aren't making beats. They are all often credited twice in production credits as both Writer and Producer for both roles. Beat Makers are credited as Writer, Composer or Programming in production credits as they fall under the songwriting umbrella.
Producer=Director
Songwriter/Composer=Beat Maker
Very cool story, my man.
@@dgv3584 Glad I was able to clear some things up. I know alot people out there often get beat making mixed up with Producer. The term Producer is often misued and abused in the music industry. Many young people making beats that are comming up often confuse themselfs calling themselves producers when they haven't educated thier self on the role of a record producer and what they acutally do. I think the misconception comes from seeing Dr. Dre, Timbo or Pharrell Williams making beats and assumed thats what a Producer was and what they do, when in reality they don't realize they are wearing a completely different hat thats unrelated to their role as a Producer. Most people are unware that these guys were wearing two different hats the whole time all these years. Most people never really saw a video of Pharrell Williams or Dr. Dre working in the studio with the artist directing when they aren't making beats as they don't just only make beats. Pharrell Williams working in the studio with Justin Timberlake is a great example of the role as a Producer. While Justin is writing to Pharrells beat, they are both colaborating on ideas as Pharrell gives Justin ideas how Justin should sing a certain way or what the melody should sound like. Pharrell is the director in charge that sits behing the mixing board along side his engineer while Justin is in the vocal booth. There quite a few vidoes here on youtube of behind the scenes of Justins Justified album with Timbo, Scott Storch and Pharrell in the studio working with Justin. I've been a beat maker myself since 2004 as I started out a very old ass version of FL Studio called fruity loops at the time before they changed the name to FL Studio with version 4.0. I then moved on to Propellerheads Reason 4.0 and hardware such as an MPC, Yamaha Motif and The Fantom X etc. I didn't become a Producer until 2008 working directly with my very first artist one on one. I've learned alot from my own artist on becoming a producer since he writes, sings, makes his own beats and produce. Hes a very experienced singer as he worked with P-Diddy back in the early 2000s as he was part of MTV Making The Band 2 back then. Before I was a Producer I normally would send beats off to people, but made mistakes and gotten burned not getting paid for my beats or fully paid. Now that I've been a Producer for the past 10 years, I always worked directly with the artist and make them sign Producer/Artist contract agreements. A lot of beat makers these days are kinda wearing the Engineers hat while they compose beats like what you mentioned about side chain compression esp in todays modern era of DAWs as normally thats the Mix Engineers job like Tony Maserati. Normally when its time to add vocals, the Mix Engineer would need the multi STEM tracks of your beat that needs to be bounced or tracked out so they can mix the beat and the vocal as if it were a band as one session.
Yessss! Share the love. Thanks for the Surfer EQ2 tip.
OAK IS A GENIUS
Ahh so amazing and inspiring!
Way to go Oak!

I’m si grateful to see this ...thanks
He sound so humble❤️
Thanks for sharing this knowledge with us man !!!!!!
I always wanted to know more about the choir like vocals in the background...was anticipating that.
Man.... When I first started in this production world, I couldn't hear the difference between snaps at 3:31 , but now after almost 2 months...after a little learning.. practicing...I accidentally came here and ...the ears are developing on their own...
Now I can actually hear what difference the producer is actually talking 'bout
Man...humans do develop..
I feel awesome 😂😂😂 like superman 😂😂😂
New producer showing some love
