The Sidechainsmokers
haha....hehe...huuhuh....laughs////ohhhh...hehhe
😂😂😂
And that's how you bust a nut from a joke
Love Sidechain
oh god i love you
This is like one of those group projects where one guy does all the work
So true!! Lol
Lol
Hahaha
Alex is the A&R of The Chainsmokers fyi. something that Drew can't do.
@@johndare6 wdym?
Drew was a producer/musician for many years before he met Alex, who had been DJing for many years. So Drew produces the songs with Alex's advice, and Alex creates their live sets (which are fucking amazing), so both members are very valuable imo.
Love your comment it feels me safe
@@Angel_queen470 um
No
Glad I saw this I was wandering what his actual role was/is
Tbh if I was Drew, I would've worked alone
Mad Respect to the Chainsmokers for taking the time to educate the world on how they made a track. I have seen a ton of people act like its a huge secret... We are all aware of the programs out there and the tools, its just nice to see it put together on camera so we can see how they did it. Thanks guys, you rock!!!
Dada life is one of them that keeps a project like a big secret. Like i want to know how they made their track ”kick out the epic motherf’ker” and they said in the comments that this track will be explained but they never explained it :(
Can't believe these guys made "selfie"
Half way through the video I was like 'The Chainsmokers.. I've heard of them before... wait, they did that #selfie song, right?' This is much better.
Apparently they made that song as joke, but it took off
Alex Pagliari yeah but first...
let me take a selfie
Yeah, me neither, it's a horrible track.
Love the honesty of this guy, doesn't try to dress up everything but clearly knows his stuff
When you just started going to the gym and want to let everyone know 4:26
😂😂😂
Lol lmao
Bruh
😂
😂😂
ugh haha fuck I mixed up LFO tool and Volume Shaper. Truth is I use both! (well all 3 if you count Kickstart). But yes, Cable Guys make Volume Shaper, and Xfer (steve duda and deadmau5) make LFO Tool. Sorry for the mix up guys, definitely check out all three plug ins!
+The Chainsmokers Yes, there both great. I've "BOUGHT" both of them.
+The Chainsmokers awesome tutorial, thanks!
+The Chainsmokers Huge fan of you guys, and it's great to see how the fame hasn't changed you. A lot of producers become cocky dickheads when they blow up... thanks for the tutorial and stay true to your music - it's rad
+The Chainsmokers This is my art, so... Fuck You!
hahahaha
And now we have Panshaper. Pancake on steroids.
This is one of the best examples how less is more. It's amazing how these guys are producing with basic stuff. Just EQ8, Ableton Multiband Compressor, Presets... They don't use Fabfilter or Waves EQ and they don't complicating a lot to using many other plugins or designing a complex Synth Layering to develop this fucking Hit. Just have an amazing idea. That's it!!
So truee man!
Well they used a lot of Waves on the vocals.
it's because music starts with composition first... then processing and production later
people get too caught up with gears and plugins as if you need them first.. but it's all in the skill of composition
as a producer i agree its tough to just stick to the art and worry about polishing it after
Ive always had this notion that my stuff needs to be more complex, which fucks with my creativity and I never end up makin shit. These guys are game changers in that aspect.
That Ableton skin looks colder than Canada.
Derek Roig 😂😂😂
Fl gang ❤️
@@dboyagod cringe fl gang
one of the best tutorials I've ever seen.. so musical and not spending any time on mundane technical stuff
+Peter Hoffman It's the technical stuff that separates tracks that sound cool and tracks that reach their full potential. Go watch the Noisia video. You'll learn much more useful things - not just experimentation.
+Daniel K I appreciate the sentiment but I'm personally not very interested in the technical aspects of music production, only in musicality and creativity.
Noisia are awesome and all but no offense, in my opinion there's not much new going on there.. I'm more interested in making magic than in how to make and re-sample yet another distorted Reese bass.
I would say there's well over one million songs made every day, and still there are not that many great songs in any given year, I mean really great timeless pieces of music that touch people.
The Chainsmokers have two out of two hits and have created a fresh sound that also has gained a lot of play. To make something fresh and creative and get on high rotation is not easy.
@@peterhoffman5616 Yesss!!!
Everyone is hating on Alex for not doing as much work in the music making process as Drew... But Alex makes the sets for their concerts (which is where they make most of their money) and their podcasts. In the end, the work probably gets spread out pretty evenly.
Michael Dobak sooo trueeee man
The thing is would drew be in the same spot he is now without alex? Yes! would Alex be in the same spot he is without drew? No!
@@108077854 no.
@@108077854 Love this comment!!
@@108077854 Disagree. You should know that The Chainsmokers was already a band before drew came along and they were actually doing good in the djing scene. Plus Alex plays the piano
I love how they don't name half their tracks, especially audio recording tracks. I end up not-doing the same thing.
Drew is such an inspirational producer.
Harry M. Do Yes he is :)
i think this tutorial is made for the guy with glasses...
Lol, truth
+santosh hamal lol haha
+santosh hamal hahahaha!!!
it reminds me of the knife party duo. the other dudes must be doing alot of other shit, otherwise wtf.
+santosh hamal haha sahi kuro !!!
Need Illenium or Said The Sky in there
+MayTrix YASSSS ILLENIUM!!!!!!!!
illenium!!
That would be great.
Said the Sky PLEASE PLEASE PLEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEEEE
i wonder if illenium will make it to mainstream, if he even wants to
That other guy said like 5 words through the whole video.
he's like dj khaled another one!
he does the djing
KeikoKrafts Plot Twist: he is the producer of the track
Anyone ever realize XFER (Makers of Serum) and REFX (Makers of Nexus) are the same name spelled backwards?

OfficialXONE exactly 😂😂
Lol
I Want Diplo in the studio
I love the tutorials. Most producers who get famous don't do them, I guess cause they don't want more competition lol
Strawberry see Nicky Romero's masterclass and KSHMR's on UA-cam
martin garrix majes tracks live .. and alan walker gives some clues too
I feel like Alex is more the dj and Drew is more the producer
+Efrain Entrertainment He looks like more the manager/business side to me. The guy with lots of connections that helps push the brand. If Drew can produce like this I'm sure he's not gonna have a problem playing great DJ sets!
+Efrain Entrertainment Alex went to school for music business so most likely he is the business side of The Chainsmokers. No doubt he knows basic producing, DJing, etc. as well
Anyone can work on Alex's part, but no one can work on Drew's part. This is the real point.
@@tipfertilizer4595 That's actually wrong I think. There are literally thousands of producers out of there equally or more talented than Drew, but they never see the light of day because they don't know the business side or how to make connections.
They are both excellent keyboardists if you have seen some of their live performances
The other guy is learning so much.
He's the main man behind live sets and mixing and mastering
Don't judge a book by it's cover
@@attarsharik302 Clearly not 😂. He is like Alan Walker
@@tkwalliscomedy9421 no RyanBee is right. He is less of a producer and more of a DJ but he still contributes to the mixing and mastering
@@danielkhanin9615 Contributes to the mixing and mastering? Have you checked their songs credits on Spotify? Someone else is mixing and mastering their music. Alex is just the DJ and a second ear during the production but he doesn't get personally involved. It's mostly Drew that produces for the Duo. He also produced for BTS, Logic, Khalid, etc. in his spare time. Check his credits.
What you can learn from this video: "Oops."
Oops..!
and "ahhmmm"
and "like...like"
***** no but its human..
Uh-um!
You guys dont even know how much this and your own tutorials videos inspire me. thanks :)
Yesss!!!
Love how quickly and natural this song came about
Producing is doing a hundred different little things and changes that nobody would ever notice but every song is the culmination of those little things adding up. These guys get it
2020 been rough that I forgot this is my favourite song
"I love the male and female voice together"
I see you with your "Closer" and "All We Know"
12:05 "I'll add the sound that you don't even realize is there but you can hear the sound better in the (final) mix." Thats what it means to do your homework. Kudos to you Drew!
I rly like the attitude of those guys! It's about art and having fun and not about the "right" way to do stuff.
great tutorial, but question, wtf does Alex do lol
Bro only Djs
I find it really admirable that these guys are willing to share and teach others. So sick and inspiring!
These guys are super chill and I've definitely learnt some more stuff for my productions. Thanks!
I love how honest and collaborative they are, they don't hold back.They literally shared every thing with the audience. Cause nowadays people think like if they give information to others they're losing something and at the end it gets them nowhere. When u share, u gain something back too
the title should be called :
The Track: The Chainsmoker on making Roses
hahahah GOTCHA what you mean lool !!
vivek ghavri because it's mostly one guy who show's us the track!
Lol Yes cuz other one has to make coffee, so, Everybody has its own area of interest and perfection lol
4:27 when you wanna tell people you’ve been working out but don’t wanna be obvious with it
Alex is like "Wtf is he saying!?" 😂😂
Can you please get Clean Bandit in the studio; I would love to see how Jack actually produces their perfect "poppy" house records.
I go to a music production school this one video taught me more shit than ever😂😂😂
And your school made you famous?
Where the hell are u going then haha
That's pretty sick even though I don't know about half the stuff you're talking about Drew. Such an incredible process and being insanely creative.
Props to Chainsmokers and FM for this video. This is how art evolves and a culture thrives. Lots of inside info and tid bits to pull from. I feel inspired to rewreck shop now
I wasn't a chainsmokers fan until seeing this tutorial. So good.
"This is my art, so fuck you!" I love it. Amazing video
Seriously the best tutorial on UA-cam. It's nice to learn techniques from real professionals who have the modern sound. UA-camr tutorials generally tend to sound cheap and sloppy without ever using modern stuff. I guess that's why they aren't music professionals. Love this video.
Somebody get this man a keyboard!
really enjoyed this. inspirational to see how messy the process of making a hit can be, and the explanation of the vinyl-stop style glitch at 37:47 is a great example of that pure geeky glee we all get from going too deep when making electronic music.
“This is my art so fuck you” is honestly one of the most inspiring things I’ve ever heard
I'm not into producing I'm just watching because it's one of my favorite songs
Tommy Price what a losser
@@_luni_2834 there's no need to be rude lmao
did anyone realize they only used les than 7 plugins (for mixing) per channel?
Drew is the smart kid in class who shares his homework with the rest of us :)
"That's a perfect ending"
So great to see how far these guys have come! Been a fan for so long and these guys truly deserve it.
Was I the only one who checked to see if he had actually bought his sylenth?
Dudes. I'm really excited, because this is the first time an artists says he only took about half a day to finish the basic song. Love this! I think this is what next gen music is all about!
I love that they were not holding anything back at all, thank you!
This was everything I could have possibly wanted out of a tutorial. It's especially useful to not only know what techniques you used, but WHY you chose to use them. Thank you!
For everyone asking what Alex does: he makes sure everything is mixed properly. It's important to make sure there are no unmixed coffee granules at the bottom of the cup. He then brings the coffee to Drew who is hard at work producing music.
hahahahhaha
@@costinvaly1 Haha I forgot I even made this comment. Past me just made present me laugh
this is one of the best "making of" videos i've seen. thanks for being so forward and knowing and showing what everyone wants to know about.
Alex's waiting for his DJing stuff
Big shout out to FM for bringing unparalleled content, also to the producers and writers willing to share! It is very much appreciated.
drew taggart is a god
Dis gonna go viral
why?😂
+Ankit C That's not how viral works
+Ankit C or nah
+Ankit C remember me when this gets million views
+Marlon Piazza me aswell
YES. Slow clap for when Andrew quoted Justin Bieber. "They're very expensive sounding sounds." lol
Thank you for taking the time to give back!
Does the other guy do anything?
+okayyymc3 He makes follow up calls.
+okayyymc3 his start was more from DJing.
+okayyymc3 He brings coffee
+okayyymc3 he does all the DJing at the live shows. I'm sure has has plenty of input when the tracks are being made too.
+okayyymc3 no, andrew is responsible for production
4:27 I just started working out... 😂😂😂
i think modern day producers are geniuses that know how to occupy the low, mid, and high frequencies of every song through special effects and good ol' fashioned instruments. they produce nearly the entire song with all the instruments (although plugins and AI helps them with shit) .... but it's still genius how they literally produce the whole song from a computer and a keyboard.
''We're gonna show u how we made our song Roses''
*continues to explain how he did everything himself*
This track really reminds me of Young Blood by The Naked and Famous
Dont worry. I have broke down this video into parts in my channel. Watch if you dont want to waste your time.
ok
The Track: Drew on making Roses
what does the other guy do ? is he like a hype man or something !
I was asking the same thing the whole time
I think the guy with the glasses knows more of DJing than Music Producing but idk lmao
+Ponci Casas yes, you're right
Maybe sound engineer, does mixing and mastering which is a whole separate process than writing and producing
drew which is the 1 explaining everything is the 1 who basically makes the songs while the dude w the glasses is the "DJ" on stage who mixes the songs together for their live sets
I love this kind of videos! You learn a lot of stuff
Great feature FM. 4:20 he means Steve Duda Xfer for LFOTool, Cableguys make VolumeShaper (which they use according to Twitter).
+Jesse Skeens and LFOTool and VolumeShaper are somewhat contenders haha
+PakinhoZ LFOTool does way more than Volumeshaper though.
+Rob volume shaper does 3 band muliband sjidechaining though. i don't think lfo tool does that
+Jesse Skeens blaze it
They're even using Eco mode on ableton reverb
take a bong hit every time Andrew says uUhmm :)
Rozes posted a TikTok about her younger self signing a bad contract. Wonder if she was alluding to this song? Looks like she's trying to make a comeback and be recognized and respected as an artist in her own right. I hope it works out for her.
Fantastic seeing the creation of the synth effect on the chorus. Always blew me away hearing the synth with such a unique dynamic of bass and crispy treble rolled into one. The Sylenth "Icicle" tone he used was okay, but after cranking the sustain and tweaking the EQ levels it became something truly dope. Yes, the chord progress does make it great, but the tone is nearly equal in importance. Super dope track.
Depends on what genre you're focusing in, but pretty much, simple is more. Also, Kickstart is amazing.
Did the guy on the left do anything at all?
Drews the producer, I believe hes the DJ, however, still produces. Usually a Duo group "assigns" each other duties in the group, one may DJ the other may produce, one may sing the other may produce, one may mix and the other writes, etc etc.
ericimi Alex is the "hype guy" he is the guy who says weather something is bad or good, some producers get lost sometimes trying to make stuff too perfect, and the hype guy is the guy who acts as a normal music listener... Kashmir did it to when he was in the cataracs. And he has more Dj experience than drew... If you look at their sets Alex djs the most, and drew controls the crowd. (Guy in the left/Alex) (Guy in the right/Drew)
Eric contacts singers and makes connections with talent. He is more on the business side but he does help with production.
There both producers
yea they're both producers and they both dj. I guess it depends on the song who contributed what also when I saw them alex had headphones on and was literally looking at the decks the whole time and drew was on the mic and down by the crowd lol. i swear alex didnt look up once
I love how Future Music always screws up the audio levels in their videos
Let me be honest, the drums on Roses fucking slap
especially the snare
Please do an episode of "The Track" with Illenium. That'd be great for something like his tracks "Afterlife" or "Fortress"
LFO Tool is by Steve Duda from XFER, not Cableguys. :)
zeepster that's true, but what about VolumeShaper4
Geovanny Torrento Volumeshaper is from Cableguys
Gotta love and respect The Chainsmokers, so amazing what a lot of simplicity can do!
This was really awesome. Shoutout to them for going thru this trouble to show aspiring producers how to be creative. Big props
ayee nexus. people always hate on it lol but people use it because of the pianos, bells, strings it has..
Really cool to see this breakdown 🙏❤ Amen to the ending 😂
Hey guys I have ableton live 9 and FL Studio 12 but I was wondering why people look down and laugh at people who use fl studio 12 like Ik it's easier but why is that bad?
Nothing is wrong with FL Studio if you get some nice drum kits and VST's. Don't worry about what other people think. A lot of major producers use it.
Madeon actually uses fruity loops, and a lot of other big time producers. It's just stereotyped that most people START on fruity loops. Not necessarily true though.
Tip from someone that started with FL many years ago, and has been using Ableton for the last 10 - there is nothing wrong with either of them. My engineer friend used to make fun of me when I first downloaded FL many many years ago saying it was a toy and sh!7 program, which is rubbish now considering many of the top producers use FL like Porter Robinson and Madeon. But that comment was enough to discourage me for pushing further into FL. Fortunately I switched to Ableton. The reason why I've stuck with Ableton all these years is the user interface and ease of use-which still comes down to your own personal preference. If you like FL better than Ableton, then stick to it. You can produce an amazing track with either. I used to write edm on Reason and Pro tools before that. It doesn't matter about the software. Focus on putting in the hours to master the program like you'd master a language so when inspiration hits you, you can focus on writing the song and not focusing on how to access an EQ or comp or plugin that you need. Also, don't focus on the judgement of others or opinions of others about your music. I was writing stuff like Justice back in 2007 and just ignored it because my friends said it sounded like garbage. Then I heard Justice and crapped my pants thinking about the tracks I wrote that sounded like it. I was writing pop EDM with hardstyle drops in 09 before it hit in about 2011, but my friend who I was producing with at the time said it'd never work in the clubs. Now that's all you hear. The point is, write what is true to you and your heart. Dont focus on the program, or the hunt for the perfect kick sample or perfect patch for a synth plugin. Just get to work. Put out tracks. HAVE FUN. And if you make money along the way good job. The songs you make will find an audience, just be true to yourself. Now in my late 20's, thats the hardest lesson I had to learn over the years. Fortunately it's helped me a lot since. Be true to yourself. Screw everyone else. Use the program you want. Make the songs you want. And most importantly, publish it. Don't sit on it forever and do nothing with it. Good luck.
Woofaaa! It's just good that a beginner in this thing could have a very thoughtful lesson from someone with a lot of experience with it. Thanks! I was actually not more focusing on the program but hunting for the good samples or etc but I guess I know what I got to do now. (sorry for bad english)
Martin Garrix, David guetta, mesto music and many more cool producers use FL studio
i can't believe i just watched this entire video. but damn do i love this track.
29:50 yes, you're right in thinking that Andrew :D
His final words are just 10/10.
Now compare this to Alan Walker...
lol
you cant compare a tree to a keyboard, same here, both make completely different genres and they cant be comparable
Immortal Piyush
Which one is tree and which one is keyboard?
Why even mention that name :v
@@SigmavMusic because Alan Walker also did a video like this and he didnt say shit only his ghost producer did
