Abe hi. You sound uneducated. Its easy to label. Especially when you poses not the where withal to debate. By the way good luck with your IQ tee. You cant accuse without first hand experience. Accusations are a reflection upon yourself.
Record companies seem so stupid in 2018, blocking featured music, which would lead to sales of their back catalog. For what? There's some role in their company where there's a guy making this choice, and it's probably costing them a lot of money and new fans for old music.
I just decided to stop buying music from major labels. There are more than enough independent musicians out there who RELISH my cash in their pockets. Why would we ever give money to those who shit on their own customers?!

Max Martin is epic. And his creative lasting pop music will remain forever. Anyone who followed his career knows he doesn't do or like interviews. Very glad to hear and pick his brain in this once in lifetime interview.
OMG! I've waited for this interview for so damn long. Max martin is the reason a lot of people claim music sounds the same this generation. He is such an incredibly hard working man that he has saturated the charts for 2 decades with hits. You can't blame him and Avicii death is a case to be made about fame impacting creation, although I would never compare him to Max's level. Max has stayed hidden, he's extremely successful but no one out of the music industry knows him. When he has passed on he will absolutely go in the Hall of Fame with the very best. I think when the hits stop coming we might see some of his most creative work just like the beginning of his career with the Ace of Base and Backstreet Boys.
Yeah. I can't see why Avicii couldn't have done the same: stay out of the spotlights, being an amazing producer behind the scenes. Sad he was too tangled up in endless tours to realize that, too late in the process.
Isnt that a bad thing that "music sounds the same " because of him? Also what difference would it have made if he was in the limelight? I'm just trying to understand. There are many successful and famus people who dont take the step of suicide.
Also I didnt understand this sentence: "when the hits stop coming we might see some of his most creative work just like the beginning of his career?." why?
Me at 15 years old in 1997 “If only we could get to sing in front of Max Martin, he’d definitely write for us!” Lol. Never happened of course. But as a music producer, I always call back to this man’s music, even to this day in order to draw inspiration. Absolute legend
I don't understand why they would edit out the music considering that Max Martin is the literal songwriter and producer of the songs being excluded. Copyright infringement would be impossible.
To anyone watching, when they mute it all you have to do is look at the album cover they show and go to your favorite streaming service to listen. Only takes a second.
As a songwriter and music producer, I always come back here to refresh and know I'm in the correct path. Max is an inspiration for pop lovers and pop creators as me.
Many people don't understand that producers are what write and engineer the music to sound amazing. The artist delivers there tools and the producer builds it.
In many cases producers are the real artists, and people who get their songs from them are just performancers. Pretty faces to sell this art to masses.
simple melodies is key to everything, you just have to let go of that feeling like damn this is too simple. It's a thin line between that and the moment where you start adding and tweaking chords, melodies and stuff and start to use some complicated music theory stuff. Sure it's fun and it helps you evolve, but damn you can trip in that stuff and then you lose the main idea. If the music makes you bounce, if it makes you feel good, if you can visualise it and just basically make it talk back to you then damn you've got a hit. I think the key to hit record is simple, sometimes annoying and repetitive melody and structure - if that loop makes you sit there and listen to it for hours then you've got a banger lol.
That's how I make music a lot of the time. I work on an 8 bar loop until it becomes completely flawless in my ears. Sometimes it takes a couple hours but at the end I know I have something very nice to arrange out into a full track.
A big thank you to Max Martin for making the best music ever!! 😀 I'm not a producer, but I understand how complex his work is because listening to any song he makes i hear perfection. A true genius 💙
This interview is the proof that a good pop song is so so studied. No much heart, no much human feelings but a lot of logic, maths and studies that trik humans by listening those genial projects. Max is a fenomenal hard worker. Music it's actually a weapon and must be producted with care. It can change our moods, feelings and life. Well done Max. Carry on writing good stuff
@@langlopaniflax5597 he could say whatever he wants. He produces Taylor made songs for a big % of artists in all the world. Most of those are hits. He has an infallible method to write songs on commission. It must me mostly mathematic, competence and practice to have an industry of songs. Thats my personal opinion of course.
The masses connect to what the majors choose. Repetition and familiarity and mundane is what most want in their lives. It’s not an art, it’s a science.
This man is the ultimate master hit maker of the universe, more number one hits than anyone who wasn't in the Beatles. Without composers, songs wouldn't exist.
Lol not Beatles, it was just a Paul Mccartney and Lennon. And they do it in 8 years while Max didn't even surpassed them in his 40 years career. You need to stop bashing Mccartney and Lenon, Max martin works with 10 people on one song, there is big difference.
I can confirm the best song ideas i have are the ones that come to me when being half asleep, either just waking up or falling asleep. I have made it a habit to always have my phone nearby so i can record it instantly. It's probably that half-wake state that allows for ideas still flowing freely while at the same time being wake enough to "notice" them and grab the phone. Two days after Prince had passed away i had a dream of him and me being in the studio recording a song together. I woke up early enough to record the main melody, beat and lyrics into my phone. So if someday i should release the song, he definitely will get credit and his estate a portion of royalties, should it blow up :)
This man is such an inspiration. I want to do exactly what has done with his life. I truly believe he's put alittle bit of his soul in every songs he's helped write/produced. So amazing.
My absolute hero in life. Thank you Max. Wish I could connect with you. Thank you for sharing this. Also you are a hero for sharing. Great interview. He is so warm and funny. Makes you sick! 😉
Lastima no se escuchen los tracks fundamentales pero es increíble que este maestro cuente sus secretos, gracias Max tu visión sobre la música y la sociedad son invaluables.
Vengo de la escuela de Denniz Pop, y reconozco que Max heredó toda su esencia musical, tiene el ritmo de base que Denniz imprimía en sus temas aún sin ser Dj. he leido mucho sobre Max y creo que tendremos al menos 20 años más de Nros .1 y superará sin duda a Paul Mccartney & John Lennon en sus records.
What in the world could he be saying that needs to be muted out??? There are actual copyright laws that say that you CAN use pieces of copyrighted works in a teaching environment. And he was just talking. Arrgh.
You're absolutely right, the copyright laws do allow it. UA-cam however works on algorhitms that tend to favor the publishers because that's the safer and easier option
Anyone see the irony here? The best songwriter in a generation talking about his craft but youtube has to sensor it while you can't turn a TV on without hearing wannabe singers covering songs someone else wrote
Max emphasizes simplicity in today's songwriting, but according to the great New York singer/songwriter, Laura Nyro, "as beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration". Max is a clever collaborative songwriter who crafts relatively simple rule driven songs directed at a young audience for superior commercial success. In contrast, Laura Nyro was a creative genius who wrote highly innovative and complex songs that broke all the rules in the pursuit of creating music as art, yet her songs still achieved great commerical success. For example, in November 1969, three Nyro songs were in the USA top 7: Eli's Comin', And When I Die, and the No.1 Wedding Bell Blues (which has no chorus). Nyro's unique urban NYC songs have stood the test of time: Wedding Bell Blues has been in about two dozen TV shows such as Glee, and she has been sampled by many rappers, including Kanye. Do pop songs these days really need to be simple to be successful, is there a commercial aversion to risk taking, and is the audience being under-estimated, or is there just a lack of truly great pop songwriters.
Back then, Pop music was the goto for all music. Now, with the simplicities of DAW's and software/hardware, music has grown to truly break boundaries. The experimental side hasdriven itself into the underground scene, while Pop music exists for sing alongs.
@voilaviolamh Wrong. You have not dove deep into the world of today's music. Perhaps you turn on the radio and equate that with the quality of modern music. I will tell you that this is far from truth, and there are plenty of artists who have grown beyond what the greats of 300 years ago demonstrated. I will search you music and I invite you to listen to the link I will send.
@voilaviolamh It's apples and oranges, I don't think its fair to compare the "level of innovation" between different centuries. I agree that a lot of music today focus more on sound (nothing wrong with that) but there are also musicians who do really innovative stuff today when it comes to rhythm, harmony and melody. Like for example - all the jazz musicians?? You said that the most innovate period was around 1650-1930. After 1930 came people like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson, Michael Brecker... a lot of crazy innovative musicians. Like Etienne said, I suggest that you explore more genres
Thank you very, very, very much for this upload! I suppose you have noticed there are some audio problems, not only during the song excerpts but also during some of the spoken portions. How is the audio quality of your source material?
So interesting that he talks about thinking of the melody to "baby one more time" while falling asleep! I always get an idea in that state and have to hurry up and record it haha
Max Martin is what Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman were in the 70's. There is something in that Swedish understanding of contemporary music making,founded by,say ABBA and Per Gessle
It's not just his music, even his lyrics are infamous. The BSB's 'I want it that way', which doesn't make sense xD, the 'It's gonna be MAY' of NSYNC, among others. True legend. I'm glad someone from my country made so many people's childhood memorable.
Max Martin definitely has ADHD, as a fellow songwriter with ADHD. It’s a blessing and a curse sometimes because you lose your train of thought/inspiration easily but find it easy too. Love Max Martin truly a treasure to hear his music wisdom!
In the early 2000s I noticed that a lot of the music started to sound like it was created at a mass production factory. Like a McDonald's for sound. Now I know why! I think I should look for interviews made to the engineers that produced the formula for junk fast food that are best sellers.
Wow. how am i now just watching an interview of the guy who has written a lot of my favorite songs over the last 20 years. Like Simon said this guy can't be human. Him and Hanz Zimmer are from another world.
You guys don't know how industry works, Hans Zimmer and Max martin both have army of songwriters that never get any credit. I was working for Bleeding Fingers and they will never credit you, and you need to give away all of your songwriting rights, you just get upfront fee. You guys live in a dream world and have no clue on how the music industry works! Max may seem like a nice guy on stage but you never know whats happening behind the scenes and how he works.
Backstreet Boys（BSB）is The Best Selling Boyband!!! 25 years They Still together!!! Their New Single Don’t Go Breaking My Heart♪became the Number 1 on itunes 25 countries!!!
The parts of the interview that are muted are just when they're sitting listening to the songs. Fortunately, you can tell from the 1-2 second intros what the songs are, so just go boot them up in iTunes and you're good 😎
I'm sorry but, not being able to hear the pieces they are talking about, renders this video completely unwatchable. I don't understand if it's some copyright issue, or if it's a problem with the audio in general..but, what a shame.
no, it's censored by youtube so people couldn't accidentally learn about max martin secret and duplicate the technique to make the next generation hit song
Спасибо Ютубу, за то что есть перевод. Хотя бы можно перевести. Спасибо Максу Мартину за продюссированию таких великолепных песен . Может до нас бы и не дошло. Если не продюссер, который знает, что это хит.
Hey - I might be quoting this interview in a book I'm writing about the guitar. Any idea how to cite it properly? Where does it come from, originally? Was it an ~official~ interview ?
I wish a publishing company that publishes music books would release the songwriting secrets of Max Martin book /maybe if enough people would contact Hal leornard or Berklee press or backbeat books this book could become a reality!
Robin Taylor Think of it this way.....Would anyone pay hundreds of dollars to see David Blaine in Vegas if they knew how the tricks were done? Of course not.
There is no tricks only knowledge and inspiration, even max says that at: 21:30 You just have it in you or you don't, there is no magical formula for hit making. You need to have courage in order to make something new, and courage to be yourself is where things happen. When you close yourself in the box and follow other man principles you cant actually make sometwnew and inspiring. Remember that, when you choose to be yourself you will make something unbelievable, because your perception is limited in this world, but your intuitive part is connected to place where real ideas come from. Nikola Tesla talked abot it and its true. But we are learned from early age that we can only trust our senses, that's why people think Max have some kind of secret.
There is no secret. Even if you do something amazing and new, in just one month other people will copy your idea and you will have market full of same music. You are born with that, music doesn't come from a brain, but from some strange place that we can't explain. And music doesn't come to the people that sit around and wait for inspiration, but to the people that work 24/7. I can guarantee you that most of Max Martin ideas are crap, we only hear 10%. Even Dua Lipa producer Kirkpatrick explained that most of his ideas are crap. But you need to go through crap ideas in order to find rare gem. This is what Max Martin explained when he talked about his band and playing regularly even when there was no live performance. Ofc you will find amazing idea, and what next? how do you build song around that 10-15 second loop? That's when you use tools he explained. And tools come with experience and learning from others, studying whats currently on the market and how industry is evolving. Not to mention that you need to leave ego tripping, because music feels that and it will never come when you ego tripping.
He should've really mentioned dr luke when talking about going to new york and writing since u been gone, who knew, I kissed a girl etc.. it was luke who brought in the guitars into the production
Great Video... one criticism... what is the point of a video about hits created by Max Martin that actually mutes the very songs being talked about. It's a video about hits where you don't hear any of the songs ... Very annoying!!!!
Interesting to see how he writes.. recording melodies that come into my head is also how I do it.. it's a very mysterious but I certainly find it the purest way.. then I add the music afterwards..
Here are the links to the interview. (It's broken into two parts-there is some overlap between the two videos so just skip to the new part in the second video). drive.google.com/file/d/1-tpc_6WtUok5FJVIwYbT32CWTccZht_P/view?usp=sharing drive.google.com/file/d/1FuKj-xL5dABMnB5Zd58UbRPCGPnFMYCV/view?usp=sharing
Yes and the Denniz Pop philosophy that a song should be instantly recognized within first seconds is actually the same philosophy Stikkan Andersson inspired ABBA. It's true though. There are actually some psychological aspects to take advantage of to create a generic hit. What's important is to know about all this but never set any rules. Breaking the "rules" is just basically pushing boundaries and is vital for evolution in music. Music is art. What's cool is I now realise Max Martins hits or other cheesy radio pop songs and the massive work behind it. Cant believe I took many of these songs for granted. Respekt to Max and the late great Denniz Pop.
@@j.f.bastian7118 True, but the most important thing is to be in the position to write for top vocal stars. Not every song this guy created is a hit, it is just a rule of big numbers, the more you produce the bigger chance to make a hit. Not to mention that writing for the best people in the world will give you big advantage.
I just discovered that n the muted areas, its still possible to turn on the subtitles. They are auto generated, sothey might be wrong. But better than nothing...
List of Songs that got muted smh:
Britney Spears - "hit me baby one more time"
Backstreet Boys - "I want it that way"
Prince - "Let's go crazy"
Robyn - "do you know what it takes"
Kelly Clarkson - "Since You Been Gone"
P!nk - "Who Knew"
Creedence Clearwater Revival - ""
Katy Perry - "I kissed a girl"
Taylor Swift - "we are never ever getting back together"
Adele - "Send My Love"
The Weeknd - "Can't Feel My Face"
I think the Creedence one is 'Down On The Corner'
last song is Justin Timerlake - "Can't Stop The Feeling"

Lol not Beatles, it was just a Paul Mccartney and Lennon. And they do it in 8 years while Max didn't even surpassed them in his 40 years career. You need to stop bashing Mccartney and Lenon, Max martin works with 10 people on one song, there is big difference.
he was always sort of hiding from publicity, thank you for sharing this interview + thank you Max for your work, so many people look up to you!
He had "hit me baby one more time" as most popular song in the entire world!!!!😮 I'd definitely hide too 😂
I can confirm the best song ideas i have are the ones that come to me when being half asleep, either just waking up or falling asleep. I have made it a habit to always have my phone nearby so i can record it instantly. It's probably that half-wake state that allows for ideas still flowing freely while at the same time being wake enough to "notice" them and grab the phone. Two days after Prince had passed away i had a dream of him and me being in the studio recording a song together. I woke up early enough to record the main melody, beat and lyrics into my phone. So if someday i should release the song, he definitely will get credit and his estate a portion of royalties, should it blow up :)
"I always tell my friends a creative persons work schedule is 9-5, 9pm-5am" -Hans Zimmer
His BSB productions and songs are masterpieces imo.
This man is such an inspiration. I want to do exactly what has done with his life. I truly believe he's put alittle bit of his soul in every songs he's helped write/produced. So amazing.
My absolute hero in life. Thank you Max. Wish I could connect with you. Thank you for sharing this. Also you are a hero for sharing. Great interview. He is so warm and funny. Makes you sick! 😉
I can totally relate! 😚
Lastima no se escuchen los tracks fundamentales pero es increíble que este maestro cuente sus secretos, gracias Max tu visión sobre la música y la sociedad son invaluables.
4:30 the moment he played the song,i have maddafarking goosebumpsss....n his songs bring me back to my childhood...:(
Vengo de la escuela de Denniz Pop, y reconozco que Max heredó toda su esencia musical, tiene el ritmo de base que Denniz imprimía en sus temas aún sin ser Dj. he leido mucho sobre Max y creo que tendremos al menos 20 años más de Nros .1 y superará sin duda a Paul Mccartney & John Lennon en sus records.
Next to impossible to find an interview with this genius and yet the video is muted on a regular basis..wtf
This copyright strike thing has gotten out of hand
Oro puro, gracias!
There should be a Nobel prize for songwriting and he should get the first award for pop
There is, the Polar Music Prize and he received it in 2016.
And that’s basically how this interview came about. The winner has to do it. He couldn’t hide anymore!

Thank you for uploading this 🙏🏻❤️
What in the world could he be saying that needs to be muted out??? There are actual copyright laws that say that you CAN use pieces of copyrighted works in a teaching environment. And he was just talking. Arrgh.
😅😅😅
AND HE FUCKING MADE THE SONGS LIKE WTF
You're absolutely right, the copyright laws do allow it. UA-cam however works on algorhitms that tend to favor the publishers because that's the safer and easier option
Anyone see the irony here? The best songwriter in a generation talking about his craft but youtube has to sensor it while you can't turn a TV on without hearing wannabe singers covering songs someone else wrote
Wow.. muchas gracias amigo!
Espere tanto tiempo honestamente.
Muchas gracias.
Holy moly what a gem of a video
this is a gold mine for producers
Such an amazing attitude and spirit
"less is more" and "keep it simple" 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
This is great but I wanna start earlier. I wanna know more about how he arrived there, as a producer for these 90s icons, how did he build his career?
There's an awesome book describing his early ears among many other interesting things - "The song machine: inside the hit factory". Def worth reading
Psychology > Talent

We live in sad times when, in an nterview, you can't even listen to a fukin song that the person being interviewd wrote.
He was chosen by the Lou Pearleman, the guy that ended up in jail for fraudulent activities.
What an amazing interview. Max is not just lightning in a bottle, he invented the lightning and the bottle. 🤘
If he hasn’t already, he’d by my pick for the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame👑
Max emphasizes simplicity in today's songwriting, but according to the great New York singer/songwriter, Laura Nyro, "as beautiful as simplicity is, it can become a tradition that stands in the way of exploration". Max is a clever collaborative songwriter who crafts relatively simple rule driven songs directed at a young audience for superior commercial success. In contrast, Laura Nyro was a creative genius who wrote highly innovative and complex songs that broke all the rules in the pursuit of creating music as art, yet her songs still achieved great commerical success. For example, in November 1969, three Nyro songs were in the USA top 7: Eli's Comin', And When I Die, and the No.1 Wedding Bell Blues (which has no chorus). Nyro's unique urban NYC songs have stood the test of time: Wedding Bell Blues has been in about two dozen TV shows such as Glee, and she has been sampled by many rappers, including Kanye. Do pop songs these days really need to be simple to be successful, is there a commercial aversion to risk taking, and is the audience being under-estimated, or is there just a lack of truly great pop songwriters.
Back then, Pop music was the goto for all music. Now, with the simplicities of DAW's and software/hardware, music has grown to truly break boundaries. The experimental side hasdriven itself into the underground scene, while Pop music exists for sing alongs.
@voilaviolamh Wrong. You have not dove deep into the world of today's music. Perhaps you turn on the radio and equate that with the quality of modern music.
I will tell you that this is far from truth, and there are plenty of artists who have grown beyond what the greats of 300 years ago demonstrated.
I will search you music and I invite you to listen to the link I will send.

@@etiennelatour3435 WOW amazing!
@voilaviolamh It's apples and oranges, I don't think its fair to compare the "level of innovation" between different centuries. I agree that a lot of music today focus more on sound (nothing wrong with that) but there are also musicians who do really innovative stuff today when it comes to rhythm, harmony and melody.
Like for example - all the jazz musicians?? You said that the most innovate period was around 1650-1930. After 1930 came people like Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, John Coltrane, Oscar Peterson, Michael Brecker... a lot of crazy innovative musicians. Like Etienne said, I suggest that you explore more genres
Thank you for this interview ! ✌
Thank you very, very, very much for this upload! I suppose you have noticed there are some audio problems, not only during the song excerpts but also during some of the spoken portions. How is the audio quality of your source material?
This is gold for producers
So interesting that he talks about thinking of the melody to "baby one more time" while falling asleep! I always get an idea in that state and have to hurry up and record it haha
me too... many songs have come to me while half asleep, i always take my phone and record it!!
I love Max Martin!!
Max Martin is what Nicky Chinn and Mike Chapman were in the 70's. There is something in that Swedish understanding of contemporary music making,founded by,say ABBA and Per Gessle
Love this! So inspiring!
44:10 "the sound of a melody is crucial...a great melody can be ruined by a bad sounding lyric"
It's not just his music, even his lyrics are infamous. The BSB's 'I want it that way', which doesn't make sense xD, the 'It's gonna be MAY' of NSYNC, among others. True legend. I'm glad someone from my country made so many people's childhood memorable.
Max Martin definitely has ADHD, as a fellow songwriter with ADHD. It’s a blessing and a curse sometimes because you lose your train of thought/inspiration easily but find it easy too. Love Max Martin truly a treasure to hear his music wisdom!
Genius producer AND Great SHOES!! *wink*
In the early 2000s I noticed that a lot of the music started to sound like it was created at a mass production factory. Like a McDonald's for sound. Now I know why!
I think I should look for interviews made to the engineers that produced the formula for junk fast food that are best sellers.
Wow. how am i now just watching an interview of the guy who has written a lot of my favorite songs over the last 20 years. Like Simon said this guy can't be human. Him and Hanz Zimmer are from another world.
You guys don't know how industry works, Hans Zimmer and Max martin both have army of songwriters that never get any credit. I was working for Bleeding Fingers and they will never credit you, and you need to give away all of your songwriting rights, you just get upfront fee. You guys live in a dream world and have no clue on how the music industry works! Max may seem like a nice guy on stage but you never know whats happening behind the scenes and how he works.
@@nickepic1863 That makes way more sense than them coming up with all these masterpieces on their own.
Backstreet Boys（BSB）is The
Best Selling Boyband!!!
25 years They Still together!!!
Their New Single Don’t Go Breaking My Heart♪became the Number 1 on itunes 25 countries!!!
Eric Bana is such a talented composer!
Dam. I would love to hear this interview in its entirety, without the songs dubbed out. I would pay 💰 good money!
He is the God of Pop!!
Im here for the moments of silence and head nods.
thank you 🙏
The parts of the interview that are muted are just when they're sitting listening to the songs. Fortunately, you can tell from the 1-2 second intros what the songs are, so just go boot them up in iTunes and you're good 😎
I'm sorry but, not being able to hear the pieces they are talking about, renders this video completely unwatchable. I don't understand if it's some copyright issue, or if it's a problem with the audio in general..but, what a shame.
The gaps ( audio ) must surely be for copyright reasons?
no, it's censored by youtube so people couldn't accidentally learn about max martin secret
and duplicate the technique to make the next generation hit song
I love this!
Спасибо Ютубу, за то что есть перевод. Хотя бы можно перевести. Спасибо Максу Мартину за продюссированию таких великолепных песен . Может до нас бы и не дошло. Если не продюссер, который знает, что это хит.
Nordic melodies over modern R&B grooves...
Hey - I might be quoting this interview in a book I'm writing about the guitar. Any idea how to cite it properly? Where does it come from, originally? Was it an ~official~ interview ?
I love how he immediately started vibing to the song he made for Britney Spears
I wish a publishing company that publishes music books would release the songwriting secrets of Max Martin book /maybe if enough people would contact Hal leornard or Berklee press or backbeat books this book could become a reality!
Robin Taylor Fuck that shit. If everyone knows the secret, it won't be useful to ANYONE. You can crack the code if you try hard enough.
Robin Taylor Think of it this way.....Would anyone pay hundreds of dollars to see David Blaine in Vegas if they knew how the tricks were done? Of course not.
There is no tricks only knowledge and inspiration, even max says that at: 21:30
You just have it in you or you don't, there is no magical formula for hit making. You need to have courage in order to make something new, and courage to be yourself is where things happen. When you close yourself in the box and follow other man principles you cant actually make sometwnew and inspiring.
Remember that, when you choose to be yourself you will make something unbelievable, because your perception is limited in this world, but your intuitive part is connected to place where real ideas come from. Nikola Tesla talked abot it and its true. But we are learned from early age that we can only trust our senses, that's why people think Max have some kind of secret.
There is no secret. Even if you do something amazing and new, in just one month other people will copy your idea and you will have market full of same music.
You are born with that, music doesn't come from a brain, but from some strange place that we can't explain. And music doesn't come to the people that sit around and wait for inspiration, but to the people that work 24/7. I can guarantee you that most of Max Martin ideas are crap, we only hear 10%. Even Dua Lipa producer Kirkpatrick explained that most of his ideas are crap. But you need to go through crap ideas in order to find rare gem. This is what Max Martin explained when he talked about his band and playing regularly even when there was no live performance.
Ofc you will find amazing idea, and what next? how do you build song around that 10-15 second loop? That's when you use tools he explained. And tools come with experience and learning from others, studying whats currently on the market and how industry is evolving. Not to mention that you need to leave ego tripping, because music feels that and it will never come when you ego tripping.
He should've really mentioned dr luke when talking about going to new york and writing since u been gone, who knew, I kissed a girl etc.. it was luke who brought in the guitars into the production
Dr Luke is great but Max is the GOAT in pop industry.
Not that rap1st...
@@colin2590 evidence?
He’s probably trying to be careful mentioning Luke considering all the allegations
You should post a link to where we can buy access to the masterclass to listen to the whole thing without the muting by UA-cam.
Great interview, but UA-cam sucks.
Great Video... one criticism... what is the point of a video about hits created by Max Martin that actually mutes the very songs being talked about. It's a video about hits where you don't hear any of the songs
... Very annoying!!!!
This man makes HITS!
Anybody have a link to the un-edited version? Thank you.
Can't f***ing believe I stumbled into this interview. Amazing, almost... if they didn't mute all the songs it would've been perfect
Honestly I’m I turned 30 this year and I just find out who Max Martin & all I can say is I feel how Kobe felt when he seen Micheal Jordan. 👌🏾
Interesting to see how he writes.. recording melodies that come into my head is also how I do it.. it's a very mysterious but I certainly find it the purest way.. then I add the music afterwards..
Why these thing have so many muting parts ?
Does anyone have a full version of this interview ?
Please, Please upload the full (best) version.
:(

Wow, thank you Tessa!
From Sweden? that explains it. ABBA was/is the precursor of those unbelievable tracks... Almost anything that comes out from Sweden is amazing.
Yes and the Denniz Pop philosophy that a song should be instantly recognized within first seconds is actually the same philosophy Stikkan Andersson inspired ABBA. It's true though. There are actually some psychological aspects to take advantage of to create a generic hit. What's important is to know about all this but never set any rules. Breaking the "rules" is just basically pushing boundaries and is vital for evolution in music. Music is art. What's cool is I now realise Max Martins hits or other cheesy radio pop songs and the massive work behind it. Cant believe I took many of these songs for granted. Respekt to Max and the late great Denniz Pop.
@@j.f.bastian7118 True, but the most important thing is to be in the position to write for top vocal stars.
Not every song this guy created is a hit, it is just a rule of big numbers, the more you produce the bigger chance to make a hit. Not to mention that writing for the best people in the world will give you big advantage.
I just discovered that n the muted areas, its still possible to turn on the subtitles. They are auto generated, sothey might be wrong. But better than nothing...
Does not work
This is gold
