  • This was a request sent a while back. Haven't heard too much Castlebeat til' recently. Very good stuff. Love the whole vibe Josh creates. The drums are really simple and didn't take much time to program. I dig the simplicity of this track and how it turned out. Fun to make. Let me know what you think in the comment section down below. Hope you guys enjoy it!

    I literally cannot get enough of these, my guy. Keep ‘em coming. I watch these at work and you make me want to race home to my dungeon to try and create music.

    Good channel. Im learning a lot about music production. I’ve been teaching myself Logic Pro and it’s been daunting but this is helping even though you’re using Pro Tools

    Daaamn, I started following you about a month ago and just saw this one video. I used to play with Josh when we were both living in NY, I just sent him the video, the vibe is spot on :)
    Love your channel keep up the good stuff!

      Thank you! If I can recall my vocal chain was-
      Compression, EQ, saturation and reverb.

    You've totally replicated the sound man, good job! How did you record the guitars? is it a straight DI in? Any effects / plugins or pedals on it? I find if i record guitars straight into DI they end up sounding very 'boxy' and not clean like in Josh's recordings.

    You're using a pick while playing the bass? *angry bass player noises from afar*
    All jokes aside, this was great! You really nailed the vibe that Castlebeat evokes in his songs.

    • @bananalabs
      @bananalabs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Haha Great observation. That is correct. I use a pick sometimes to get a particular tone/sound. Thanks!

    • @bananalabs
      @bananalabs  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you for watching!!! For this particular song, I over dubbed my vocals then added the following chain- Compression, EQ (boosting the mids and a little of the highs), saturation and then some reverb.

      On my recording software I used the following effects for both- Compression, EQ, And saturation. But for the guitar I added some reverb and chorus. No pedals just whatever effects Ableton had available. I will be doing a detailed video on different ways to achieve the dream pop guitar sound! Stay posted.💪🏻
