Hi i start my project please watch c':
where are the comments on this thing
We love Robbie 😭
I was so sad when the neighbour knocked on the wall

Same 😢 but it’s okay he’s succeeding with his music and they could never ✨
@@edgynerdwhostanstallyhall4029 Wowzers is that a fellow tally hall fan in my cavetown video, wassup mr moon
It’s a reasonable complaint tho
“Then I felt sad and embarrassed”
I’m sorry but why is this me in a nutshell
It's all of us, isn't it?
where did he say that
I literally tried to wipe off ur profile pic from my screen LOL
same:
“I’m bad at explaining things”
literally making a tuToRiAL
ay beowulf! i love your music!
Hes good at music tho
just a human thank you!
he kinda demoed stuff in the video instead of explaining it
He can be bad at tutorials though
I’m gonna write a book. “Cavetown for dummies” so everyone knows how to appreciate Robbie’s wholesomeness.

This is the most raw and authentic way anyone’s ever showed others how the process really is like when it comes to putting a song together. I appreciate that.
yeah people just edit that part out which makes it so boring imo
recording the song (as shown in the video) is the fun part. writing a song from scratch could be tedious sometimes
for sure, i really appreciated that as well :3
He is great at explaining stuffs
fernandez completely disagree actually lol
*neighbour knocks on wall*
Robbie: “hello :)”
i luv his hello
I’m not a professional, even though this is literally my profession.

*Wait, why are you here?*
i was in the process of writing & playing a song several minutes ago, then my neighbour was banging on the walls for me to shut up & i felt soooo sad & embarressed, so i watched this video & it cheered me up sooo much in general & it made me feel soooo relieved that even Robbies neighbour bangs against his wall for Robbie's beautiful sounds to shut up xD i wish, i could be Robbies neighbour to enjoy his music & we could knock on each other's walls to ask if the other one is down for a jam session :D

Loving Robbie for dummies:
Step one: look at him. Listen to 2 seconds of any song
*congratulations! You now love him with all of your cold shrivelled heart!*
Bold of you to assume I have a heart
Agreed

robert rudman they could have kids or not be able to sleep with noise
Not everyone likes robbies music my guy
@@bugsmane i know, i wasn't being completely serious in this comment... sorry i should of made that clear somehow
Ikr the AUDACITY
I guess It's cool Hearing him making music,Imagine hearing zthe song progress Before it got released ,Imagine the feelings of his neighbors And friends That heard The Lemon boy before it got released.likr damn I feel Highly honored and pleased .
My friend told me to make him a song in 6 days for his birthday. I've literally never wrote a song before let alone produced one but I can play uke, bass, and a bit of guitar; I can write poetry; and I come up with random music sometimes in my head; so I guess I have all the elements I just need to put them together. So I'm watching this for help since I have no idea about any of this *[naughty word]* works. Heck.
How’d it go? I bet it’s a cool song :)
@@sammich6858 Yes! I gave on production but i sang and played it to him live and he liked it a lot! It was so wholesome seeing him so happy since he means so much to me. He even asked me to play it again and he smiled the entire time.

@@figuro106 same bruh
I love how organic he sounds if you know what I mean
2:06 that was the most polite way of telling someone to stop... usually I get the screamies around here
ALWAYS EQ BEFORE COMPRESSION!!!
Otherwise you’re compressing frequencies you don’t intend on hearing!!
YES
Thank you!
I think he knows what he's doing lol. eqing afterwards has a certain sound too , but u shouldn't say always
You should almost always put your EQ before anything else in your chain.
@@blueberrymilc it's definitely an always. Lmao. This was simply luck

this is how i found cavetown and, woah, your introverted-musical-ness caught my eye enough to look at your music
Like seriously woah
woah man
2:07 I literally felt that, like I was recording a original song. Then suddenly my sister knocked at the door and threw a pillow on me😵😂
Ang_Bitter_ Poreber
This happened to me last week 😅
heyo it's been 8 months and i just wanted to give u some encouragement and tell you that u should definitely keep on recording even when u don't want to, and even when people think ur bad at it bc even though it's not their style, i assure u that there are definitely people out there who are waiting to find someone like u who express exactly what they're feeling and play exactly what they wanna hear,,, in short, keep going, u can do this!!

"Not like a KSSSH it's like a-"
*T H U M P*
Yeah, one of those.
Hey Robbie!
The best way I guess you can describe ratio on a compressor is how much the compressor squashes the sound by. For example, with a 2:1 ratio, when the sound goes 1db over the threshold, it gets reduced by 2db! Also, a cool trick for guitar doubling is using something called the “Haas Effect”, where you set your delay to stereo with a 20 - 30 ms delay time! It widens out the sound and gives it a stereo feel without having to use another track!
Nicholas Horry nice lad
Wut
I can't believe how well you explained everything
You helped me on so many things on my own project and i have been writing and recording for 4 years
I had no idea you even had a channel, now subscribed

bro ur mind is *chef’s kiss* you’re so natural at this!! i’ve been trying to produce my own song for a little while and it’s been shit but this helped so much and i was happy that i understood most of it. i was getting impatient and felt like giving up but i guess i’ll try my hand at it again. thank u!!
is this song ever gonna be released as a single or on an album? or has it already been

ah crap that's not it! it sounds awfully similar, though.
Can you link
Oh my god. I have the same guitar as robbie. 0:53
guys he's literally a wizard none of this made sense to me god bless the good boy
The new song you are making sounds beautiful! Can’t wait to hear the whole thing.. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The bass: 😄😁
The lyrics: 😔🥀
that's such a cool trick to reach those higher range notes. kinda reminds me of how the beatles recorded "strawberry fields forever". the chorus (starting at "going to") was from a different take which was heavier and harder, and also in a slightly higher key. they cut and taped it in between the verses from the other take and slowed the chorus down to match the key, so john lennon's voice shifts into a sort of lower deeper tone in the chorus.
This is my #1 question that goes on my head alot.
Love your music!
will-Sreyb to Ajr that's a question?
@@Zia-ep3co no, in the beginning where he- *Ok now I'm confused* 😂😅
That isn’t a question-
*I’m so confused*
yall dummies who think his question is "love your music"
the question is how to produce smh
i think?
@@gkaxy *Yes!*
me nearing the end: wow I had no idea how much work went into this kind of stuff this must be some,, kind of,, advanced,,
Robbie: "... that's kind of the basics of putting a song together-"
me, astonished: W H A T-
@@nicholascowan1731 i mean it's logical to seem like a lot for the people who are new to making music
oh its ridiculous how complicated it can actually be, project files look like abstract art pieces sometimes lmao
I mean, yeah.
Unless you want it to be a very acoustic, indie-sounding song, this is still just about the start.
Electronic music project files can look absolutely insane if they're actually well-done.
It's the same with anything, really. You never realise that it's really that complex and that so much goes into it unless you actually try making it.
congrats to 1 mil robbie!!! it feels so weird cause i’ve been watching your videos since the judge cover and i’m so proud of how far you’ve come and u deserve it so much!! thank you for all the times that you’ve made my life a bit better. all my love and support goes out to you! :) xx
Imagine banging on the wall to tell robbie to shut up even though it’s a free concert
So someone upstairs heard you play guitar and sing, then wanted you to stop? I actually applaud that person, didn't know it was possible to want him to stop...
Also you're getting a free live session with cavetown... just appreciate life for a second jesus.
it's so wiiiiild to see how far you've come holy moly
ALSO IS THIS SONG RELEASED/WILL IT BE?? I'M IN LOVE WITH IT
Exactly! Hopefully it didn't end up in Cavetown archives
i concur, im begging u pls
Its new its called things that make it warm! I think i might be getting confused if so im really sorry
@@jagot-j7387 I don't think so, the lyrics and beat in this don't really match up
@@addie382 ah shit yeh i listened to it right after this and forgot to correct it :(
yo this actually helped me quite a bit. I've just started studying music tech at college and I didn't understand some things but now I dooo thanks robbie !!
Watching your editing process helps me pinpoint exactly why I love your music and I think it's amazing tbh

Thank you

It's so good. We need a full version.
Thanks lol
did he put the piano so that no one can steal it?

YOU DONY UNDERSTAND HOW HELPFUL THIS VIDEO IS FOR ME, I GO FROM ONE THING TO ANOTHER AS FAR AS PRODUCING. AND IF IT WORKs FOR ONE SONG IT JUST DOESNT WORK FOR THE NEXT. AND AS MUCH AS IVE PROBABLY WENT THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS AS YOU HAVE. ATLEAST I HAVE A VIDEO TO GO TO AS FAR AS A WAY TO FRESHEN UP. Thanks man!
Thank you for the informative video. I was recording in "real" studios since back in the late '70s, but am just now getting on board with the at-home digital world of recording. You clearly have a tremendous understanding of how it's done, and I enjoyed having you share what you know with the rest of us. I hope to one day have the understanding that you have.
...and I love so much of the work you have produced as a result.
Much love from Texas, USA. 🇺🇸
even with his explanations, I am completely lost, but he's just so wholesome
your youtube videos are the only things that bring me joy
This is actually the best production tutorial I've ever watched. Some of the stuff I already knew, but the fact that you showed those things just made me feel like I was on the right track! However, there are so many useful little tips and tricks here that I absolutely did not know before, thanks man!
Bruh this still manages to be the best guide to both music making and structuring, before this i always lost faith in songs i started but i come back to this and remember some dumb thing i forgot about that reignites the drive to finish. Hard to think this was made before covid was part of our vocabulary. Thank you robbie and heres to all your future bangers!
Hi.
I highly, highly doubt you'll ever see this, but I figured I'd give it a go. You're music means so much to me, and it's helped me through a lot. It's kept me alive through depressive episodes, calmed me down during panic attacks, and so much more I can't even begin to list. You're music (And you, as a person) Is just so incredible amazing that I just can't begin to describe it. The odds are against you ever seeing this, but I hope you do. You've helped me through so much with your music and yourself as a person, and I just,,,thank you. Thank you so much.
Robin talking about whether or not he finds himself a professional is me contemplating on whether or not I'm going to Taco Bell as I'm at the window ordering 😂😁
