Would love to see a video on how you make such clean videos, since content creation is so vital for producers
Thank you for your videos, I've been binge watching the last few hours and they are excellent and greatly appreciated!
Just wanted to say thank you! Drums seem so easy to the naked eye but making them sound good is deceptively hard :)
@iambadd you’re very welcome!! Hope this could help!!
Man, you awesome!! Big fcking thanks!!
Damn Johnny Sins is such a good teacher, loved this
I CAN'T BELIVE I GOT A 50 MINUTE ONE ON ONE WITH ZACK!! Forreal thank you!!
♥️♥️♥️ hahaha!! You’re welcome!! Hope there’s some good bits in there that you can pull
Anyone affraid of the length on this one: I've watched an embarrassing amount on this subject. This one has a lot of tips and insights I haven't seen in other videos on this topic.. The pace is quick and the explanations are concise. It's kept light with some humor and what you learn is broken down in a S.M.A.R.T way to make them easier to implement and maintain. How many vids have you watched like that lately?
reallyyyy appreciate the comment!! means a lot!! ❤️👊
This was great!!! Actual real help and not just another "we know this already" tutorial. Love it!
Thanks Ross!!! Really appreciate that and happy it can help!!
Zack you read my mind, I've needed this for so long lmao
Hahaha happy to help! Better late than never 😂
Another awesome tutorial! Must give Zack credit for being not just a great producer, a great teacher and content creator. Lots of value delivered in the best form! Easy to understand & enjoyable to watch. Thank you!
Really appreciate the kind words ♥️ means a lot!
Just wanted to say after watching a few of your videos I really appreciate how direct you are and skip out on all the “fluff” like I see in many other videos.
This is freaking incredible
♥️♥️♥️ thanks brotha

thanks so much for the drum Vid! super helpful!
Happy it helps!!
Your video is incredibly useful! I'm really happy that UA-cam had recommended me your channel!
In the video of making animals Martin Garrix said that he is always changing the little transitions in his tracks to make his music sound more interesting. And as I see, nowadays producers stopped making that things. I mean, if you'll listen to some old grx tracks like tremor, animals, wizard, project t remix (I take his music as a good example), you will notice a lot of things like tonnel sounds, sweeps, big snares, snare rolls and synths which are grabbing your attention to make you feel interested during the listening. If you have some ideas about it, it would be great to hear from you! I hope, I'll see a lot of great videos on your channel!❤
Amazing video. This has helped so much
You’re welcome! Really happy it helps!
Amazing 🔥
♥️♥️ thanks, hope you’re able to apply some of this into the current/future tunes!

Great one! thanks!
You're welcome! ♥️👊 hope there’s some pieces in there that can be put to good use!!
Just rewatched it and learned a bunch I didnt even know to look for last time. Defo in my sage folder.@@TheCosmicAcademy
Great advice. I stick to the concepts, because the rest is miniutae for me. And I don't even make loop-based music.
love your channel bro!! it sounds boring but i would love a video on how to organize plugins in ableton, as right now I have so many and it's just a mess to navigate. i’m sure i’m not the only one who feels this way too!!!
Hello! I did look and I’m not sure if I missed it because there are so many videos, but what about the drum bus? Do you bus all into one channel after and then add more effects or should the original mixing of each element be enough to not need a drum bus? Thank you! I love love love watching all of these videos and would really like to apply as well
More masterclasses please
♥️ we have plenty more vids coming!!!
ummm maybe the best video ever
hahahahaha thanks parker!
Man this is too good not to watch- can’t believe this is free! Is this even legal 🤗🔥🥁
😂😂😂 thanks donny! happy it helped
loop 3 in level 1's soul mate is "Ievan Polkka" break :)
Godsend
👊♥️
How to figure out how many steps you need to change ti a certain key?
Gonna sample that little mario bit, Zack!
Hahaha 🤣
I like the LFO effect. Would you say is better an adding a groove to the midi tack?
Different! It’s just another option. Things don’t have to be one or the other, better or worse!! Can even use both of them at times!!
This was amazing, super helpful for my drum game! When is the rest of the series dropping? I am ready to binge watch the Netflix special of "Key Parts to a Song if you like and subscribe" by Cosmic Academy
hahahahaha 🤣 appreciate you! happy this helped
Whats your guys opinions on buying fabfilter stuff (especially pro Q) if im just a beginner? Dont really think it will magically make my EDM sound alot better, should be better to first properly completely master EQ eight and other stock stuff?
I’d agree with you on this!! Many times, as a beginner, we can think specific plugins make the real difference in our music/productions/etc…but they really don’t. It’s the individual using them that makes things sound great.
FabFilter has incredible plugins that provide massive advantages over the stock plugins…but a beginner rarely sees / hears those differences. Learn how to use the stock plugins first because they usually limit you to the most fundamental parts of each tool. Once you fully understand your basic tools, it’s much easier to utilize the value in third party plugins ♥️👊
🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Level 2 Look like drums of "Cloverdale_Movin"
what is Sample pack ?
Sample packs refer to a bundle of audio samples you can buy/download to use in your productions. Splice, for example, allows you to download the individual samples from many different sample packs.
C to E is 4 half steps not 3, thats why the EQ told you D#
hello love your content, but everytime you use profanity I have to immediately close out the video. you're amazing
Love these videos! A lot to learn from. Until I can get into the Cosmic Academy team, I will learn from these UA-cam videos. Thank you so much.
You’re very welcome!! 👊♥️ we appreciate you!!
Thank you!
You’re welcome! Happy it can help!
