Youre a genius
This is really great, I have learnt tons of stuff from your channel. Thanks Austin for always coming through.
This is just a fabulous breakdown and it's an actual heartfelt and soulful too, not just a throwaway example. Great channel.
Austin, you are such a g! Straight fire vibes and production. Definitely one of the top well rounded producers alive. No cap 🧢 💯🎶🤙🏾
you got me singing wit you on that chorus 😭
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
Really nice vibe on this one! Thanks for the video.
That was fantastic. Although the production was superb, the final melody was ace. I wished it was longer!
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
Love ur videos and ur voice fits in all genres🔥❤️❤️😍
Your videos are everything.
Fantastic video as always! Really love the drums. Shows how high quality the Anderson Pack is for sure.
Could you do a short video about stacking/picking vocal harmonies?
This vibes so hard dude. Btw you nailed it, you're essentially in Dmaj/Bmin. Love it!
Ayyyy I was right for once. Lolol
Awesome… always looking forward to your videos 😊

That sounds great. Good Songwriting.
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
Dude WTF!!!!!! Did you release this? This is a hit!
Love your channel man, like in every video /o/
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
Straight fire 🔥 all around. That groove is killer. Seriously, every song you come up with for “how to make a song like...” belongs up there on the charts with the artists you emulate in order to educate us! Masterful work Austin! Btw, was that your actual voice doing those high runs at the end? If so, impressive. If not, even more impressive, lol 😂
Thank you! All vocals are me!
I agree
kick ass dude !!
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
wow
quality was pretty good ⚡🪐
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
Great Tutorial. By the way, could you please make some more full pop production walkthroughs? I really love the live stream you did a few months ago about it. It really helps me since the production methods you talk about translate well into any Daw since I'm working with Ableton. Also, is there a free pack on your store?
We can do another live stream walk through! And yeah, we have a whole Freebies tab on our site
@@MakePopMusic Thanks
🔥

I lov y vid

Yo Austin did you end up making a full song to this i needs it if you did
Great video! I've never used Cubase and I've always wondered watching your vids... where does Cubase's stock eq that you use come in on your channel strip chain? Does it come in pre all the inserts, or post?
It can be pre or post insert and pre or post fader! You can swap the channel strip and EQ however you want.
Great tutorial! Can you do a tutorial on how you record your vocals? That would be so helpful to those starting a recording journey for themselves or people that wants to record.
We have one 😁
@@MakePopMusic okay great I’ll look for it
Your drums are sick on this track. Do you have actual experience with drumming?
I played drums a bit as a kid and I’ve always loved percussion. Don’t really play anymore but I’ve always connected with it 😁
Could you do a smino style alt poppy r&b ish track? Or lucky daye 👀
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
that's fucking crazy
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
I got like to wishes: Could you try to make a song in the style of imagine dragons?
And maybe a modern pop metal song (like the newer Bring Me The Horizon stuff)?
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
Can you do a song in the style of Alec Benjamin? HUGE fan of this channel!!!!
👆👆Thanks for watching and commenting I have something for you 🎁🎁👆...
Great job Austin ! Did you create the song ? It's a great song on its own. Better than silc Sonic's! Where are the big music studio's to discover you ?
Wrote, produced, recorded, and did everything for this track!
if you wanna stand out, you can't make music that sounds like something that's already been on the charts. that's the privileged of the superstars.
