I just started with ableton (and production in general) less than a month ago. I’m also entering a remix contest because why not. I just wanted you to know this video is SO HELPFUL! There was a lot I was doing the extra hard way, and a lot I couldn’t even figure out yet on my own. Fantastic resource and I’ll be returning (probably several times) to break this video down and make notes. Seriously, thank you!!!
It’s so refreshing and rare to find a mixture of real-world experience, practical advice, motivation, and kindness. I really appreciate the effort you put into this! It’s inspired me more than you know.
I was stuck in front of this software wondering how I would be able to produce something cool and you completely unlocked a ton of possibilites for me here ! Big up and keep up the good work like this many thanks !
I've been producing for about a decade just for fun up until recently getting a decent original signed to a small record label! I wish i had known the acapella trick sooner, Produce a remix, Then mute the Acapella and release it as an original!! BROOO MY MIND IS BLOWN🤯 THANK YOU!!
I've always written songs the "traditional" way, pen and paper and a voice recorder, along with the help of learning some music theory when I was younger and eventually learning to play the uke - but I've really wanted to get into producing. Your videos have been mega helpful but this one in particular has encouraged me to actually start working on a track that I'm somewhat proud of already, and I don't feel completely lost. So thank you for what you do!
love this type of video, really gives greenhands like me some useful tips and the whole pipeline of making a song. pls make more vids like this in the future!!!
I have wanted to get into this for easily 12 years. This video only 2mins in, is that final push I needed. Looks like Ableton is the one for me and I will see how I get on with this video lol
You are truly a genius You made a great music in the shortest possible time And it helped me to arrange my songs Please never delete this video from UA-cam
This is by far your best video yet. Loved everything about it. the way you showed everything you were doing. the way you stayed native in Ableton so I don't get lost when you switch to a 3rd party plug in and I don't know what it means. Also love that you are putting together an edm course. great job Ethan. can't wait to see what you make after this.
I'm writing a remix now and this was exactly what i needed to see. I was struggling with the acapella trying to figure out how to make the vocals fit. With these tips, hopefully i can knock this one out the park.
I was today years old when I discovered your other music, Mr. Popular. Lol, everything you make is ear candy! Another amazing tutorial, thank you, Ethan!!!
i really love that in your tutorial videos, you try to use the stock sounds from ableton. I love that because as a beginner producer i only have stock sounds.💪💪🙏🙏
Hey Ethan! You're doing a great job with your emotive and motivational teaching skillset. I'm feel more and more comfortable with learning all of this as I started just a month ago. Keep it up!
Your videos are amazing and they have helped me a lot and I still have ways to go! I'm brand spanking new at this with a crazy view of what I am aiming to do! Thank you so much for making these videos and I can't wait to see more because I need all the help I can get!
I really hate to see you havent gained the ammount of subs you deserve yet. but Ig im here early cuz luckily Im seeing your not quiting any time soons!! ❤😊
You are very good teaching. My issue is making music that all sounds alike. Remember the people who made real hit records that everyone knows, that permeated culture and has stood for generations could walk into a studio or onto a stage and actually perform it.
Men love your videos! I would love to see a video where you make funky house. I am trying to make a song like Menesix - Love in Rio but i find it so hard to make like these funky piano chords en other elements in te song. Could you make a video about something like that? Thanks for all te help! ❤️
why does it seem when I do ur step by step and others aswell some samples dont match the tempo..I get sooo frustrated trying to remix songs and end up stopping.. I have tried shorting samples aswell but same.. ill add simple kicks to see if matches up and will always sound sooo off
Silly question. I'm new to production. Can't I just take a track I like and import it instead of the acapella and build around it the same as you have here?
@@CompleteProducer also i recommend downloading the UVR-MDX-NET Inst HQ 3 model. if you open up the options, you can download new models. that one works the best for extracting basically studio quality acapellas. let me know what you think
Do you intentionally avoid using the looping function for your midi sections? If so, how come? I find it so much smoother and tidier than copy+pasting notes, and really helpful if i want to tweak a progression or groove.
i think i do it the way i do out of habit and because i started by knowing some piano first and tried to translate that into a DAW. but use whatever method helps you work faster and stay inspired!
when will edm producer pro be released and can we purchase that separate from complete producer pro. Really just looking to learn to make edm music similar to that of audien, Twinsick, discolines, John summit!!!
if you want to use a third party plugin I heard about a new one called „Human“ it literally humanizes the way the chords/melodies are played but I haven‘t tried it myself yet
the other comments have good advice! if you're trying to get it to sound like someone actually played it there's a plugin called Trillian that's in Kontakt and Charlie Puth used for his song Attention that sound pretty darn real. I have a bass, and I can play it, so I haven't dived super deep into plugin alternatives. In my next video I program a bass, and then I also play the same part and record it, and that may give you some ideas/options so stay tuned!
@@CompleteProducer thank you and now that you mention charlie puth can you make a video how to make a song like him i really like his style but i cant make a song like him

It's amazing how you made something so seemingly complex feel attainable and relatively simple! Thank you Ethan 🙌

Nice, thanks! I was the no. 1000 like :)
Hey man, great tutorials. Loving it a lot. Is it possible to get this acapella ?
beautiful
Thank you for this legend
Awesome channel!
why does it seem when I do ur step by step and others aswell some samples dont match the tempo..I get sooo frustrated trying to remix songs and end up stopping.. I have tried shorting samples aswell but same.. ill add simple kicks to see if matches up and will always sound sooo off
Can you explain this a little more? I think I understand you, but wanna be sure.
@ mostly happens when i drag and drop a sample and im working with others in the project . Someone said was changing the sample type .. tried but idk
@@jmiles.are your samples the same key?
@ indeed
Sounds fuckin sick. Subbed!
Really great video! Many thanks! Just wondering was the bass supposed to be off key (from about 17’)?
Does the file have to be a specific one when dragging the vocals in Ableton? Mine won't take it, it doesn't work
this is amazing!! thaank you
Silly question. I'm new to production. Can't I just take a track I like and import it instead of the acapella and build around it the same as you have here?
I like your new space ! It sounds like toy say badder vidoes for you guys**
hahahah yikes. glad you like the new space though!
anyone trying to get solid vocals from any track. UVR will extract you real clean stuff
thanks for the rec. i usually use LALAL.AI
@@CompleteProducer also i recommend downloading the UVR-MDX-NET Inst HQ 3 model. if you open up the options, you can download new models. that one works the best for extracting basically studio quality acapellas. let me know what you think
Great video. How did you get the music audio clips from?
I have music in my iTunes. Can I remix these songs using your method? If not, where do I download the music from?
Why didnt you use the drum rack and instead use separate tracks for the drums?
Thanks for the vids @Ethan! Out of curiosity, what's the purpose of the limiter in this (and why did you go for independence)?
Do you intentionally avoid using the looping function for your midi sections? If so, how come? I find it so much smoother and tidier than copy+pasting notes, and really helpful if i want to tweak a progression or groove.
i think i do it the way i do out of habit and because i started by knowing some piano first and tried to translate that into a DAW. but use whatever method helps you work faster and stay inspired!
when will edm producer pro be released and can we purchase that separate from complete producer pro. Really just looking to learn to make edm music similar to that of audien, Twinsick, discolines, John summit!!!
Would it be weird if I ask for a tutorial on your file management? How to get my folders to auto back up to my Dropbox from my external hard drive
Thank you!
Who would you recommend for courses on producing country/ rock records?
honestly, i don't know, that's a great question! my course is designed for any genre, but I'm sure there are people who specialize in country/rock
Can you explain instruments arrangement ?
I would love if you did something emotional like shiver by John summit🙏
Just found your channel and im so impressed. I would love to be able to get in contact with you somehow
Candyland forever
You're awesome holy shit.
ILY so much
ethan one question how can i make midi bass sound more real ?
if you want to use a third party plugin I heard about a new one called „Human“
it literally humanizes the way the chords/melodies are played but I haven‘t tried it myself yet
Use velocity, automations and upbeat notes!
the other comments have good advice! if you're trying to get it to sound like someone actually played it there's a plugin called Trillian that's in Kontakt and Charlie Puth used for his song Attention that sound pretty darn real. I have a bass, and I can play it, so I haven't dived super deep into plugin alternatives. In my next video I program a bass, and then I also play the same part and record it, and that may give you some ideas/options so stay tuned!
@@CompleteProducer thank you and now that you mention charlie puth can you make a video how to make a song like him i really like his style but i cant make a song like him
Plug-ins might be enough to get an incredible sound.
