    The modern pop trend of hyper processing vocals is definitely going to make it easier for people to get away with using AI vocals in their mixes. I kinda love it and I'm kinda scared shitless at the same time of what the future holds haha

    Would love to see you cover how to make something akin to an Ethel Cain song like ‘American Teenager’ or ‘Strangers’. Yet to see anyone break down her style on UA-cam. She produces all her own stuff by herself too which is pretty cool! Loved the video once again :) The best channel on YT for this stuff I swear.

    I appreciate your content. It was ironic for me to read your background, and that you started out in metal! I play guitar at the most elaborate level for thrash and melodic death metal, sing 7 octaves; the whole 9 yards, but love a wide variety of electronic music and work on my own fairly consistently.
    Far more constructed work than I put into metal. It's too easy and convenient to just shred through arpeggios, sleazy rhythms etc.

    His producer Tyler Dopps is also definitely on the come up and has some incredible production on his latest records.

    Hey Austin, can you do a video on how to get that very recent Serban Ghenea vocal sound, best heard in songs like Too Much (Jung Kook, Laroi, Central Cee) and Seven (Jung Kook)? I hear this elusive smooth, “fluffy” texture in the mids that I can’t wrap my head around. In some ways you can hear this texture in Tate McRae’s greedy as well, even though someone else mixed that song. Curious to know your take on this. Thanks!

    • @MakePopMusic
      @MakePopMusic  6 місяців тому +3

      Serban is INSANE with mixing. I'm definitely still working my way up to that but I'll see what I can do! I'm in the process of getting some new monitors and redoing some acoustic treatment that will be a huge upgrade so I'm sure 2024 will have much more mixing content on the channel!
