Thank you for organizing this information for us!
I took his class two years ago and found it really helpful :)
Thank you for not having someone interrupt the flow of the video. Keep making them this way.
Wow. The one about changing the master pitch is nuts. Sounded so much better afterwards.
I didn't really understand it tbh hahaha. Like what he means when he days most of the music we hear is in A 441??
@@adriancb1551A 441 is the pitch he’s referring to. It’s the default pitch or tuning that’s found in Western music.
@@josephgage its A = 440
Be careful doing it this way. The problem with Charlie's approach is if you pitch the entire master up, you're therefore pitching up EVERY sound in the production. To my ear this introduces artifacts across the track. You might think it sounds better because it sounds better in that key, but it's exactly that, not because the *track* sounds better. You could be addressing the key at earlier stages when songwriting, composing, recording, working with MIDI, etc.
My mind was blown at this fact. What a trip.
Ik its been years but i wish he would break down his process working on we don't talk anymore. Its one of my fav songs of all time...just the layers & details of everything man...
"I hate midi" that's because you produce in pro tools like a psychopath 😂
Thats because he works like a man and he wants it to sound good
I appreciate this TH-cam channel so much. Thank you please never stop
thanks alot for giving motivation and inspiration
Anyone else noticed the Sweetwater candy gift bag on his desk at 12:59? 🤓
haha, came here to say this...
How observant 🤓
Notes:
#1 Putting Bitcrusher on the vocals and maybe cutting lows from vocal harmony layers
#2 Layering Whispers. Can layer some barely audible whispers/Harmony before main harmony comes, kinda like to support the harmony. And can layer this with main harmony as well (make these super airy, high pass filter them, don't need the low end, need to keep the song mud free). If you layer these, make sure they sound like one. Cohesive. To whisper or harmonise, can use the last word(s) of the bar.
#3 Singing trick. Do a vocal layer with extra wide (almost creepy) smile, makes the vocal unique. Super pronounce these words so that they don't get lost in the mix.
#4 Cut off the end of your song. just a slight bit. so that it surprises the listener. Miniscule fade or cut.
#5 Tuning your songs higher. After rendering a stem, don't have to tune them exact 5 notes up, can leave somewhere in between too. Imperfections can add human touch to your songs.
Also, you can speed up your samples/song and make new sample/songs with them.
#6 Transient Master is the best plugin for shaping transients. Making the attack higher makes sound hit harder. Additionally making the release lesser can add extra punch. Doing this you can make your vocal chops sound like weird instruments too.
#7 Playing Notes Individually. Instead of recording the whole Midi sequence in once, can play single notes one by one. This gives extra control over each single note of them. You can render these notes and then play with audio files.
(If you want, you can slightly remove the initial transients of the notes and even experiment with fading out)
This is great! Also the Golden Ear Gym is an awesome place to learn how hit songs were made step by step and where people can practice the techniques together with platinum producers helping.
Thank you for puthing these tips out Charlie!
I see what you did there.😂
Aspiring producer here, this is so useful. Thank you for helping us babies. I love Charlie with his honey and herb voice.❤
Keep these Puth videos coming please!!!!
0:51 I do the same but I use Black Box Analog Design HG-2 instead
When he goes " now yours will stand out of the playlist - most don't but WE DO? we don't Charlie your a whole different lever - Great Video Thanks!!!!
There is always the sound of Prince in everything
you know you’re a nerd when u actually watch this and enjoy it
Think the word is passionate my bro 💯
Charlie in your class do you show DAW s that you use and other virtual picks?
Was that an alesis keyboard ?
this feels like finding gold
Good Tips 🎶
Glad you like it!
Thanks Charlie
Totally awesome!
Thanks!
Thank you very much for the video!
If any other plugin can do the same timeshifter effect?
I don't work with these pro tools with cubase
Waves soundshifter. The percentages are different than the protools plugin, but the end result is basically the same. Play around with it, it's a pretty simple plugin.
Shaper box 3
the benny blanco troll thumbnail is crz😂😂😂😂
❤❤❤
What plugin effect did he use at the beginning to change the vocals ?
Air Lofi
@@learn2mix393thank you !!
Any saturator will do the same thing though.
@@eselle nope. Not all saturators bitcrush.
Do you know what mic that is?
Telefunken/Neumann U48
This guy knows his shit.
What microphone is this ?
Telefunken/Neumann U48
Imagine having a voice like this paired with the in depth production chops. How much fun that would be. 🫥
Which DAW is he using?
Pro Tools
anybody know what transient master plug he uses?
Transient Master from Native Instruments!
I noticed that charlie switched from ableton to protools anyone knows why
3:57
7:40
What software is he using?
Pro Tools
Ableton
@@ianbee1959it’s pro tools
@@ianbee1959 its pro tools
@@ianbee1959 That's what I use and it's a great alternative but it's pro tools
charlie buys from sweetwater like the rest of us.
candy
Is that a Telefunken mic ?
Yeah U48
crazy how much tedious work he is doing for some of this stuff for very little result.
The small things all add up
Welcome to music production
I'm a simple man, I see Skrillex l, I click.
I love video i love song ❤️🎶🫶
440, not 441
Actually most songs are anywhere between 440 and 443 depending on the roots. Orchestral and Jazz typically tune higher than 440, and Charlie is a Jazz player.
Interesting but I'm a Logic Pro guy - likely some similarities..
You'll grow up and learn someday
432hz rockssss!!!
13:36 with all due respect to benny blanco that have to be the dumbest trick ever, you can adjust the attack,sustain or release of a midi sound it doesnt matter if it comes from a hardware or its a plugin basically all the classic keyboards that charlie has right there has the option to do that, Junos, Korgs, rolands, prophet etc... I get the idea of bouncing in audio for more like project safety stuff but not for that silliness... but hey Im not the one who have 493029409234 grammys.
clearly you have no idea how benny started. he used cheap casio keyboards to record his earliest biggest hits (with kesha, katy perry etc) and they DIDNT have ADSR functions. So he learned to do things in his own way. Some of us just prefer working with audio, no need to attack someone for having their own method - Calvin Harris also does the SAME thing, at least he used to with Guitars etc. Playing one note or chord at a time. The main guitar in Katy Perry's Teenage Dream was recorded in this way for reference.
@ScottThePisces I'm not saying it's bad to work with audio that's the proper way to do it, consolidate things once you like the sound, you are talking about benny blanco like he's a music producer from the 70s he's like from 2008 until now . which already been a lot of plugins and stuff to manipulate the adsr of a sound that's what I'm talking about, if he's doing it this way that's cool but it's slow as he'll to work this way, that's why I'm saying it's the dumbest trick ever which it is but hey I don't have 302029293 Grammy so 🤷 playing 1 note it's just nonsense if you know how to play keys or guitar or whatever you need to do those stuff but that's not even what I'm complaining it's just the "manual audio edit" everyone has the freedom to do music with one note or whatever they want but that manual edit trick it's one of the most silly stuff I have ever seen, he didn't become a top chart billboard producer for doing that sillyness
He makes the weirdest facial expressions lol. Great video and insights though.
Thanks for watching!
why are your regions so bloated ? they look clipped
Most editing operations you want to do are on the quieter portions of a clip. This saves having to zoom the track size every time you want to clip without cutting off a tail.
That was dope, your still just a spoiled kid
i'm a simple person. I see benny blanco, I dislike
*hater person
the is video isnt even about him ur just soft af
Hateful bot
behave yourself
weird that you think anyone cares about who you dislike
Dude sounded like a straight up woman on the 3rd tip
Useless video, no usefull info at all
His unreleased songs are better than his released ones 🥲
The problem today:
Producers have forgotten they must be BADASS MUSICIANS FIRST, before they can contribute as "producers". A GOOD SONG, is more important than ALL of this. You all have better gear than Sir George Martin and the Beatles did. Stop it.
Right like Charlie Puth is an exceptional exceptional musician so all of these trick mean nothing if you don’t have the musical know how to make a good song to begin with
he IS a badass musician…
Depends what you mean because you only really need taste to be a good producer which is subjective. There's plenty of producers back in the day that aren't really musicians
@@lilwombat As a fellow producer, you not only need your own taste but the technical knowhow so you can achieve the sonic quality of the stuff you like. Which is why Benny Blanco (as a non musician) was so successful is because he had good taste and the technical skills with a DAW (Pro Tools) to achieve the sonic quality he wanted. Which allowed him to get into a lot of these writing rooms because of how fast he was with a DAW and how he became a great writer.
what an absolutely terrible take. these are insanely useful tips for taking your production up a notch. it’s these kinds of things that musicians don’t have to worry about because they’re playing on the tune.
