this video's so helpful, ty so much, my main "problem" at the moment is finding me creative to layer more instruments with the "main one", like making different melodys that compliment each other in different instruments. ty again!
I do this with drastically different genres of music! When I write film scores, the orchestra comes together as one, and you don't necessarily want to "hear" the oboe for instance, but you would miss it if it wasn't there. layering is such a deep topic!
One of the few channels on TH-cam that actually talks about production and not just mixing and mastering. Nothing wrong with mixing and mastering but no one talks about production.
This is the video I've been needing!! Thank you so much Austin for making the layering concept so understandable and for the fantastic examples! Your channel is just full of gems.
Nice work! You said "we only started with 3 different elements." Yes, but they were not random sounds: chords, lead, bass. You showed how each "element" can be expanded with additional layers and how to glue them together. Even the bass is the same MIDI as the 808. Very well done!!
*It's exactly the process I suspected and have used in all my experimenting with DAW's over the last 20+ years.* My compositions are outstanding, but I have to be more committed to hope to have your level of dedication as a producer and editor. I've heard many bands' demos and then the commercially released version of those hit singles after working with a producer, and the critical improvements it made for them were essential in their success.
Hey Austin. I don't have an issue using layering, been doing that forever. What i would love for you to cover however is putting in the "ear candy" elements of a track. How you decide what types of sounds to use, the effects you apply to them and where it's most appropriate to insert them. What your thought process is on that topic. That would awesome! Thx Austin! Rock on!
Thanks for the tips man! Enjoy seeing you bring productions to life. Could you make a video or let know what are some of the best kontakt libraries to use for various instruments? Like a list of all the ones you generally use. Thanks
Austin! Thank you for your videos. Been watching them non stop recently. Do you think you can ever make a video for the vocal chain like tom odell?? He makes beautiful ballads. Would be amazing if you made a tutorial. Sending all love!!
It surprised me just how much you cut out of sounds when you layer with EQ, but it seems so obvious now that I see and hear it. Why would I add more of the same frequencies to the mix when the main element is doing that just fine? And then the comment at 14:11 where you said when its muted you feel that its missing made a lightbulb go off in my head. Feeling it instead of hearing it is a great tip. Such a good video! Thanks!
Yess! So glad this resonated with you! Sometimes layers can be HUGE and you can keep everything, other times you may carve all but a few hundred hz out of it just to it gives you that littleeeee bit of extra sauce.
Killer video as always. It’s always my tendency to add to many melodies and counter melodies that muddy the song. This was a great reminder to keep things simple musically and layer layer layer.
👋🏾 Is it ok 👌🏾 to ask what’s your process? Meaning, when you make a beat and you have a particular client in mind, do you send it to them ? Or you just freestyle and have them pick it out?
Hey Austin, how is it going bud. Are you planing to do any live masterclasses on the topics you usually cover on your vids? Would be quite cool to be able to ask you questions as we follow along xx
Austin i have korg pa 6000 keyboard and i want to record same keyboard sounds, I can't afford an audio interface but i do have my printer cable, help me to do that
Good tutorial but I got to notice that the processing was great enough right before stereo "Center" plugin. Stereo tricks are so common these days but they make tracks too over-processed. Less is more, so minimal tracks often have more ear-candyness in them.
Make a song like OneRepublic, acoustic strumming, flamenco clapping, doubling the chorus with second time in higher octave. Would be a great video, maybe begin in their "go to" Avicii B minor -D-A-G pattern? BTW I bought CuBase because of you they should pay you
We plan on doing a similar course but with different sub-genres of pop, similar to this one! We had the most requests to do something more indie pop for the course so that's what we landed on, but we definitely want to expand it!
Austin, please talk about the production workflow, Artist Block, your mistakes in your career that you will save us by avoiding that , how someone can become better music production obviously you already talked about it in your videos but knowledge and facts are scattered in your videos. I can see your videos topics are getting repeated. please think like what we (artists, music producers, mixing engineers, freelancers and any music industry guys) are facing problems specially who are in their initial and middle stage. Just talk some secrets, AI Stuffs. We can learn from your video to get rid off from problem. I know YouTubing is not your full time and I'm following you and watching your videos since 2020 and you are consistently great job but Something is missing, Austin. please figure out your audience are getting smarter time by time. I'm just a well wisher of makepopmusic community. Austin think about it. Thanks for reading and making consistently great content. PS- You are looking more Sexy
If you want topics like that, check our Podcast, The Sound Table. We talk about that kind of stuff a lot more on there! As for repeating videos, we may talk about topics we've talked about before, but I'm always using new techniques, tools, and methods. After doing this channel for 5 years, I'm going to teach the same general concepts, but will always be showing you my NEW way of doing things as I also grow as a producer.

I think they call this creativity. Austin, you're the best.
I see a new upload from Austin, I click🤷♂️🔥
facts baby
One of the few channels on TH-cam that actually talks about production and not just mixing and mastering. Nothing wrong with mixing and mastering but no one talks about production.
This is the one of the best channels about music production, really, I'm so grateful
I struggle with finding the right sounds….specifically with drums and ear candy stuff! Would love your advice on that!
This is really helpful!
This is the video I've been needing!! Thank you so much Austin for making the layering concept so understandable and for the fantastic examples! Your channel is just full of gems.
Hey Austin, your videos are truly phenomenal! just wanted to give you a shout out for the all the amazing knowledge you've been sharing.
Layering…… my weakness!! Thank you for your hard work and dedication!

Great stuff man. Thank you

Austin, you are doing a great work, man, I really appreciate it! Greetings from Kyrgyztan! Thanx!
Fantastic work

🔥🔥🔥
super helpful!
Excellent as always, thanks.
i love this channel
F*ck you're awesome dude. Best production channel on TH-cam IMO. 👍

The Home Team style production/writing video please 🙏🏻
My maaan i always see your videos, since i dowload your pack of The Weekend Drums. I love you content , thanks
Thank you so much!!
Taking a little and making it a lot 🔥 great vid!
Exactly!! Thank you!
This is fire
Thank you
I used to layer so much, but I find a cleaner more precise sound to benefit me.
Killer video as always. It’s always my tendency to add to many melodies and counter melodies that muddy the song. This was a great reminder to keep things simple musically and layer layer layer.
good vid definitelyy. this guy is the Max martin of Gen Z.
Don’t know what’s more of a compliment, you thinking Gen Z or comparing me to big papa Max. I’ll take both though 😂❤️
Max martin is old now 😂you are like the young version of him now and you make good tunes that can resonate with genz that s why :) @@MakePopMusic
Woow, that's a huge!
You're a genuis
Just as your getting me into the dance “garage” music, Ari comes out with yes and! When are we breaking down those dance vibes? 🤙🎶
I need to!!!
👋🏾
Is it ok 👌🏾 to ask what’s your process? Meaning, when you make a beat and you have a particular client in mind, do you send it to them ? Or you just freestyle and have them pick it out?
i’ve been binging these 🫣 i loveeee
Top! Very interesting 👍

Bro that waves center plugin... You do know you can just do that with the Pro Q ?
Yeah, I use Pro Q for mid side stuff all the time! Doesn’t do quite the same thing as this though (at least in my experience)
@@MakePopMusic Ohhh
Make a song like OneRepublic, acoustic strumming, flamenco clapping, doubling the chorus with second time in higher octave. Would be a great video, maybe begin in their "go to" Avicii B minor -D-A-G pattern? BTW I bought CuBase because of you they should pay you
good review....
how to describe a resonating sound?
Yeah having the free version of DAWs doesn't allow for any layering unfortunately. Unless someone can help me out with that
just buy a top notch DAW, free are shit, you get what you pay for, invest man
@@mariomaslik yeah I figured, I'll probably just get into Cubase.
What is 2024's Sound going to be?
The song choice in your TH-cam channel are better than your paid course.
it’s good but the songs over here sounds more interesting
We plan on doing a similar course but with different sub-genres of pop, similar to this one! We had the most requests to do something more indie pop for the course so that's what we landed on, but we definitely want to expand it!
Let's talk about trap/pop music?
Please make a song inspired by Isaac Dunbar’s album evil twin!
