    I've had "Just Be Yourself" on repeat, and I asked "What genius wrote this?" I found your credit, googled you, and here I am. It's so gratifying to see the creative process is just as high-energy and joyful as the final product. I know kpop doesn't get a lot of respect from Music Theory Twitter but Emma Stone, myself, and everyone with access to the internet are in awe of your talent and hard work.

    This video has inspired me so, so much, and it’s completely changed how I record vocals, I’m so thankful that I saw this😭I have one question though...do you record doubles on every single lead you record? Even if it’s for the verse of a song? Or do you just have one voice with effects on the verse, and then add doubles for the hook? Also, do you always do doubles of every harmony as well? Thank you so much🙏🏼

    • @anna.timgren
      @anna.timgren  4 роки тому +5

      Glad it helped you! :) I usuallt don’t record dubs for every lead, I kinda feel it out if the verse needs dubs or not. It’s a matter of taste I think! I always make L and R harmonies!

    Came from Azodi and it was quiet funny. I saw today his older video "How to write a K-Pop Chorus" and wrote a comment and asked him if he can do a vocal melody tutorial and he could even used that instrumental he showed us in this video. He replied, that you just yesterday uploaded a video to this topic and that is even on this same instrumental. That timing, that
    coincidence - thats quiet hilarious

    Hey! Timgren, Anna. I must say you are extremely surgical with producing songs with Logic Pro DAW. I always wondered what topliners were and for the fact I am a very new "Baby Boomer to DAW and music software. Thank you for sharing how to create Topliners for songs. I have been so used to using patch bays etc.. hardware to produce music lol that during COVID-19 I decided to get back in the loop by investing in updated gear for my home studio to produce music. However, it has been an exciting journey to learn how to operate my Logic Pro DAW along with other DAWs I use. I hope to see more of your tips and perhaps learn how to use Pro logic as a whole with tutorials on the use of Buses, mixing mastering, etc.... lol I think you get my point of view. So anyway, again, thanks for the tutorial lesson. :-) 👍🏽
