Ive been learning music production but have been struggling lately with really what to do but honestly this helped me more than you could imagine. Genuinely thank you so much for this.
Just found this channel and I’m hooked. If you doing some courses I’m definitely in. I like the way you describe the sounds you hear and how they relate to the mix. Brilliant. Would love a Thornhill track remake.
Hell yeah thank you man! Courses are on the way very soon. And I definitely plan to do a Thornhill vid soon too, their guitar tones are on another level
What I usually try to imitate the most about NIN is the sound of the drums. On this album it sounds very industrial, dirty and wild. It takes a lot of work applying effects and mixing. Reznor is a perfectionist.
I honestly expected nothing less after seeing videos from you like recreating Blackhole by Architects. It's incredible how you're able to effortlessly find these massive mixes, and even if they aren't 100% accurate due to certain sounds that are hard to make out by ear, they still sound huge. This is no exception. Richii, as a self-taught producer myself, your channel has helped a lot with things like EQ, working with drums etc. To be fair, I'm still struggling when it comes to stuff like this, because a lot of inconsistencies end up becoming a big issue when I'm mixing my own stuff. I also want to point something out that you (probably) involuntarily did, in the System of A Down video, and this is something I learnt from checking out a video from Joey Sturgis Tones. When you brought in the EQ for the guitars to give them more high end bite and gave them a high shelf boost, that would've most likely been where the drum transients were, so the guitars won't easily be masked by the drums. But regardless, your stuff on this channel is just absolute class.
Holy shit i got so happy when i got this notification. I wasnt certain you would do NIN. Considering its hard to replicate due to trents obscure methods 😮
Thank you! Just many years of trying to figure out why my music didn't sound as good as my fav bands. Pretty much self taught, but I used to watch a lot of YT content on music production etc.. For years my music didn't sound great even though I was working on it constantly. Over time I just started reaching a point where I guess I'd picked up enough tricks that I started feeling more confident with what I could create!
@@RichiiWainwright That's so awesome and I'm grateful for this channel and that you are sharing all of this. It sounds pretty much like what I've been doing for the past 6 years or so. Although I have improved a ton I still wonder what I'm doing wrong or differently than you. I have been at it literally every single day, 8 or more hours a day for all that time and I'm at a fraction of your level. I realize the learning curve is different for everyone and I'm not so much trying to compare myself to you. But, you are at the level where I want to be and I'm just wondering what it will take for me to get there.
@@michaelj.anderson1116 Well, for a start I'd say the fact you're admitting you're not where you want to be is great. I'm never where I want to be, never satisfied, always doubting myself, and I think you have to be wired that way to be a great producer. It does take a lot of time and a lot of experience, so you probably just need to keep going. But I guess one thing that could help is figuring out if what you're doing in those 8+ hours a day is challenging you enough. As soon as I get comfortable with any style, I move on and explore something I have no understanding of. I think that's a pretty rare thing and can set you apart as a producer if you never let yourself settle into a comfort zone. So maybe you're already doing that, or maybe not, but hopefully it helps in some way!
Incredible! Great job man. This is one of my Top 5 Favorite albums. Quite literally changed the trajectory of my life. I was lost before hearing this, in full, alone, with my eyes closed.
Since it seems we're not getting a NIN album any time soon, can we make one? Collab? 😀 Amazing remake! Remarkable! How much time have you put into this when making? Seems like a forever job.
@@us3r11 got no time for collabs rn unfortunately ☹️ The track took maybe about 4-5 hours to remake. Sometimes they’re way longer but I’m so familiar with Trent’s style that this was actually an easier one believe it or not 😆
This is great. The more NIN, the better. Would love to see your take on Gary Numan from his current Industrial era. Talking last few albums. There’s nobody else that quite sounds like that and I’ve always wanted to see a breakdown of his sound
Richii...u are god! What a great video my friend. Exelent! Could u make a video of Ruiner of NIN ? or in the style of the song "I am a God" of Kanye West ?
@@lucas.dmoura.91 I love Nickelback. Hating on nickelback is cringe imo haha. I’ll probably do one of their tracks at some point cuz their production is always insane
Hahaha, music doesn't "want" to be in 4's. Modern listeners expect 4 because it is used so much (not a bad thing - the whole DJ industry would be F'ed without it), but there were times when all time signatures were used. When composers know the language of music, they can push the boundaries. Classical music is full of this, and a lot of modern heavy metal.
I agree with everything you're saying except the first part. I never said there weren't plenty of genres using odd time signatures. But whatever, I'm not interested in arguing. Maybe someday I'll make a video about this

@@Hamhole66 thank you! Comments like this mean a lot to me
I can't believe you replicated the drums fam. The amount of skill that requires is absurd, great work as always.

Glad to see your channel growing!!. Love your content 🔥

He's already done a NIN video
@ yes he made a NIN type «rock beat» but i find these where he produces a original track to be incredibly insightful
Thank you for rocking the shirt, and for all that you do! 🖤🤘
great job. It's awesome when new levels of appreciation for the music becomes unlocked through you're breakdowns and explanations
Love this channel. I'm just amazed every time I tune in. How do you do this so consistently? Where did you learn to do this?
Thank you!

Amazing video! Love your channel! Cheers mate 🤝
Wow! Amazing!
Incredible! Great job man. This is one of my Top 5 Favorite albums. Quite literally changed the trajectory of my life. I was lost before hearing this, in full, alone, with my eyes closed.
thank you! It's up there for me too for sure 🤘
Thanks dude, that was so helpful. Just came across your channel recently and I've learnt so much already. Any chance you could do a Rob Zombie song?
@@benhart2973 definitely doing a Rob Zombie one sometime in the next few months 🤘 his first 2 solo albums have some of my fav production ever
Great job!
Excellent video as always brother!
Superb work man, especially picking apart those guitar lines. Keep up the stellar work!

better than the original

Both of those would be a lot of fun to do! A Yeezus track could be cool 🤔
exzellente arbeit, herr wainwright!
Hell yes!
May I ask for "How to produce Falling In Reverse"?
@@lucas.dmoura.91 definitely coming sometime soon 🤘
Hmmm, will there be a recreation of AmEN or Teardrops from Bring me th horizon? it would be interesting to see :)
I may do a Nex Gen track remake soon yeah
Which DAW is this?
That is an MXL 3000 right
Cubase 14 Pro! And nope - it's a T Bone SCT 800
I am poppy
Also, kinda controversy and I hope not to be hated here but, May I ask for a How to produce for NICKELBACK?
@@lucas.dmoura.91 I love Nickelback. Hating on nickelback is cringe imo haha. I’ll probably do one of their tracks at some point cuz their production is always insane
