Fred’s “bad” microphone thing is genius. He’s making bangers out of the infinite number of rough ideas we all have in our voice memos. And Ai won’t be able to replicate that intimacy as easily.
Right, our unique interpretation and decision making process is hard to emulate.
When I started out I used to obsess over making things super high quality, and I kind of fell out of love with producing because it made it really hard to be spontaneous and creative. Coming back to electronic music years later, I've really enjoyed learning from high-profile producers who value creating a 'vibe' above anything else - like you said, you don't need the best tools before you can start making art. Great video - thanks Oscar!
So true!
This is one hell of a mindset, almost two years that I'm making music and I'm starting to diggin into it
v I b E eereeeeeeer
This is super accurate for me as well.
Same. There are a lot of us.
The fading in and out on the filter is very similar to the idea, in classical music, of making sure the music is breathing. That it feels like it's being sung from a human, the way humans have to take breaths while singing.
Oh wow, I don't think I ever really thought about that connection. That's actually a beautiful way of thinking about it!
Underdog, I think people are loving this video because you mostly treat it like a DJ set. By teaching in real time with the beat looping, the tutorial is so much more enjoyable. I hate production videos that never drop the beat. Get it dude!
I feel like my brain got larger while watching this one. So much good advice packed into this video.
Hi Oscar. I would like to express my gratitude to You. You're doing a great job sharing invaluable knowledge with us.
I'm going through a difficult period in my life right now - I'm suffering from depression, which makes my own mind slowly kill me.
Your videos really helps me to overcome this. You are literally saving my life - thank You for that. I wish You a successful and stable growth of your channel and your musical projects. And most importantly - stay producing!)
Hey CB! Thanks for sharing! Sending you some love through space & time 🙌❤️
Cosmic Buddy, I know the feeling.....
I'm glad that you are here, with all of us !!!!
If you ever need someone to "text with", you can text-talk with me.
We ALL need "someone".....
I'll be here if you need to unpack some hard-life...... 💛
I suffer from depression too, or used to. One thing that helped me was reading the first chapter of Ekhart Tolle's 'Power of Now.' This really had a huge positive effect on my mind, like a sudden rewiring, very bizarre. I then read the book again twice and make use of some of the philosophy within. This might not work for all, but I thought that I'd share it with you, in the hope that you'll at least give it a try. It's not a huge chapter, and is easy to understand. The rest of the book is a little more complex but still useful and insightful. Hope you can find a way to overcome your troubles... I too find creating music absolutely awesome and this channel really can get me on the right frame of mind first thing in the morning when I am seeking ideas and inspiration for a new track I am making. All the best... if you decide to try my suggestion, then I'm happy to chat through with you any questions you might have. Give it a go, it might be really helpful like it was for me. ;-)
@@paultorbert6929 Thank you for such a warm words, but unfortunately Big Brother found my words 'unacceptable'. Can we share our contacts for more privacy in that dialogue?
I would recommend checking out Dr. Rangan Chatterjee's podcast on here, in regards to stress, depression, mindset, lifestyle, diet, etc. He recently had Rick Rubin as a guest on the show...
Man that piano melody hits so hard 😻 thanks for all your vids! Always are so helpful!!
You are the best electronic music education channel on UA-cam. The way you break things down is so phenomenal, where others will jump right into high level terminology that I often struggle to grasp.
nice one oscar. Ive been listening to fred again, lately and I've definitely become a new fan of his. the timing of this video is great.
I love both your videos and fred. Perfect video. Thanks underdog!
Brilliant. I’m learning, so inspired by your approach. Thank you Oscar!
Fantastic Oscar - thank you! Love this channel.
Terrific video! Super detailed and beautifully explained! Thanks man. Fred Again is really a special kind of tea, so i’m really happy that you could extract and explain his techniques in clearly understandable ways. Thanks! ❤️
Thank you for breaking this down and diving in deep with the music theory!! I learned so much in this video
Thanks Oscar, always well presented and interesting content! Most appreciated!!
another super useful and easily digestible video packed with little tips and tricks that can have a huge impact on your music. for me your channel is indispensable in my music education and for that i thank you.
Woow! Congrats Oscar! The best production videos ever! Easy and so useful!!🙌🏼🙌🏼🤟🏼
This is pure gold... again! Thank you Oscar.
This is the most valuable YT channel about music production that I’ve seen so far! Thanks a lot for sharing your incredible knowledge and passion 🎧😊
Cheers Oscar, you're a great teacher, really grateful you share your knowledge here.
Super well done video, I've seen quite a few Fred again inspired vids and this still had some really interesting and new bits in it! Thanks for the work. 👏
Also the track breakdowns on Patreon sound really cool! 🤓
Damn I’m early! Keep up the good work, randomly wanted to look more into Fred this morning and here you are! Thanks as always!

This is absolutely high level musical knowledge! I love it!!
Great introduction as always! Thank you so much!
Great food for thought Oscar ..thank you man 👌☮
you rock dude. thanks for making this video. it's all about vibe
I love videos that go into the psychology behind music like this.
Not a DJ but you and your videos saved my life. Thank you!
Your videos hit different, really appreciate you sharing the knowledge 🙏🔥
Great video, as always thank you for your creative insights!
Thanks for sharing Oscar! You are great
Thank you again and again and again Oscar!
Great vid Oscar!! So helpful
Thank you man I appreciated this a lot, great work!
I've learnt a lot from this tutorial. Brilliant, thanks. Just getting back to working on my tune after a trip back to UK and Poland and being affected by Covid and then the flu for a month, which rendered me very unproductive. This really gives me some ideas, especially the filtering and vocal part for my new tune. Awesome!
Awesome lesson! Thanks for sharing! Have a great weekend!
Excellent as always!
I love your content. You're a great teacher & crushing UA-cam. I'm taking notes as I grow my channel.
thank you for this! this is really helpful in all of the ambits
Great vid Mr Underdog. Thank you
Thanks for such a great breakdown video.
Impressively well done! Thanks
Oscar, also jumping in here to share my gratitude for you. Your material and lessons are always increíble, and we all very much appreciate your thoroughness, attention to detail, and love for the music. You are the best production teacher out there. Keep it up.
Much love 🙏🏻😊
This music theory in-depths are really helping to understand the context better
That explanation about the sound quality being related to the vibe was so eye opening! I love more industrial type of heavily distorted techno / breaks, but if I grabbed one of the kicks or snares from them I would definitely think they sound bad, but only because it's in isolation
love your energy!
Thank's for doing this. For someone who is falling deeply in love with uk house this just makes me want to learn to produce even more ❤ thanks again
Boy when I hear that guy explaining music I’m melting away to a world full of composing and satisfaction from what I get and what learned)
🥰
This is just amazing!!! thank you!!!!!
So many nice tips in this one, thanks!
Great explanation, thanks!
Thanks so much for your videos!
Beyond learning things your videos are always pleasant to watch 👍. Hello from France ^^
amazing video as usually man!
Great breakdown of his methodology, thank you!
the remake is SO on point, thanks for sharing!
Thank you thank you THANK YOU for these videos. Very insightful, especially for people like me who's been doing rock/indie but want to get an insight in other musical realms. And they all do connect in the human elements. Love Fred Again.., that third album is so »human«, melancholy and exigent. It breathes an intimacy and urgency of life.
Man, I love your stuff, I've learned so much from you, now I'm playing live my stuff!!
I agree with your point about low quality vs. high quality being just "a vibe". Some of my favorite songs I've ever made or worked on had some of the elements or even the main element (melody or lead vocal) start off from a low quality place and then processed to be beautiful, or sometimes even just pasted into the track candid as a sample or element and its just a reminder that not every work of art has to be this big bold and brash piece. Sometimes things can be simple, rough around the edges, and still be pretty and beautiful.
love your lessons!
Thanks a lot for this content Oscar :D
Oscar The Great🔥🔥🔥 my team and I on a mission to introduce melodic techno in South Africa but with slow tempo ranging from 110-114bpm.. as South Africans have slow, rhythimic taste in music..🤣 its always and honour watching your videos.. God bless your channel to grow bigger and bigger🤜🏿
i love your video style. So simple.
🙌 duuuude you’re a legend 😁❤️
i’ve watched liken 4 hours of how to make your music sound like fred again but ima be real i don’t even make music idk these are so entertaining it’s cool seeing what’s going on in these songs i love thanks for this!😊
Awesome video, thank you!
Very good practical tips with the occasional theory mixed in for spice. Thank you very much!
Another lovely video, thanks
appreciate the explanations!
❤🙏
Awesome video thanks!
The "dropstep" (I don't know either how to call it), can be very powerful. I like to skip the kick (alone or with other elements) on the first beat, it gives the feeling that the floor is suddenly falling (la terre se dérobe sous tes pieds)... It works even better on slower tempo !
Another alternative is to leave only the kick (and a shortened bass), and to bring everything back together on the next snare (3rd beat usually). Thanks again for the great content, and for the joy and enthusiasm you always share !
Great video. Thank you.
Nice dissection, thanks a ton!
Great job, thank you ❤
