I've no idea how I didn't find your channel sooner but you are without doubt one of the best here on KZread teaching production. All the Whys, How's and When's behind every decision yet the videos still have an amazing pace! I'm happy to be learning from you :)

You know when you're messing around with synthesizer presets and you're like " That's a good sound but i hate how it has that minor issue ", this video thought me everything I needed to know to fix that. Thank you.
17:24 "So I'm gonna layer these two together." And BANG! The song springs into life!
You did this using no omnisphere no nexus just straight up sound design as you went thru . Genius level . New Subbie

its 80 synths lolll its super simple synths :P but ye. As an edm producer i think it's cute how hip hop producers are amazed at not using omnisphere or nexus xd. You should try it! I love using serum. Just watch a few tutorials on how to make certain sounds and copy what they do to learn

@@BeatAcademy please dont stop creating with stock plugins we beginners love that as we cant afford those and also it makes the software very lightweight.
This bass is a straight hotline miami shit!! Perfect work, man!)
18:35 "Go to the Matrix" "woah" 😂😂😂 loved that
I would love a part 2 for these videos. Focused on the arrangement. I struggle with loops a lot when it comes to turning them into full arrangements.
I really admire these redo’s. I learn so much about production. Thank you so much for being so detailed with these videos. Keep them coming 👌🏼
Thanks ill factor for doing this recreation sound exactly like it in my ears. To every one watching this, recreation is the key to get good at production(in a short time) and not only watching this helps but recreating it yourself and getting stuck and figuring limitations and problems
mate I have been producing music for about 13 years now. I wish I had a teacher like you! I had to go through so many tutorials back in the day, you on the other hand explain everything so perfectly. When I started off, everyone explained the science behind the plug ins but no one ever showed the results.
You are honestly the best. I've learned so much over the years. Thank you for your dedication and time.....

thanks so much for the bits and pieces... I have a few ideas for mashing up this song that I absolutely love, and you've just made the whole process a lot easier,
Great way to start the morning! Loved learning how much of an effect detuning had on the 80's giant synth sound.
The Weeknd‘s “Blinding Lights” rose to number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart on March 30. It’s the fifth chart-topper in the R&B singer’s career, but it’s the 23rd chart-topper for one of the men behind the song: co-writer and producer Max Martin, who has helped shape pop music for more than two decades.
Perfect!!! Love this beat dude!!!
You're the best ill! Thank you for sharing.
your awesome tutorials makes me feeling high! thanks man
This was really great! One of my favorite songs and you got so close to the original I can't believe it. Step by step, I could follow along ang grasp what you did and what effect your changes made. Thanks!
Very insightful tutorial. Thank you for taking the time to make this and share your knowledge, really inspired to make something with similar vibes
Thank you so much for that tutorial, you break it down so well and I was able to follow everything you were doing. I'm going to continue to follow and keep learning. God bless!
Absolutely brilliant!! Learnt so much. Thanks.🤘
God bless you for all this free knowledge and at the same time also using all stock plugins, your content is literally a blessing to the community, and I'm sure everyone watching this can agree with that.
This was absolutely smashing and brilliant!! Learned a lot of sound design. Thank you for the samples. Love your videos!!
I just opened a DAW (ableton 10 live) for the first time 2 days ago and had no idea where to start. I watched your basics video and am now following along on all of these how to sound like X, and I'm learning SO MUCH! Thank you, Beat Academy for the content you've put out. Maybe one day I'll go from "aspiring music producer" to just "music producer." Cheers!

Can you please do a tuotorial of choosing sounds that blend well together in a track as well instruments/notes that do not colide with each other
Great stuff!! Messed about with this and got some great results!! Play it at 100bpm and it's a nice chilled track, Thumbs up.
This is awesome! Thanks for the class!
Loved it !
Been following this channel for a while but it's only recently I've started to really get stuck in with these tutorials. Absolutely amazing work bro, I'm learning a lot from you! Can't wait to watch more videos!

maaaan this is gold.....god bless your sir for teaching us..
Man I have so much to say about these videos! I love them! Watching this specific one (because the song has that retro vibe) makes me think that you should do a series where you recreate/produce classics. Lets say music from the 80s-00s.
Thank you for the tips and tricks
This was absolutely awesome! Please make more of these! I learned more in this 25min video than after hours of other tutorials!
By far my favourite tutorial on KZread, thanks mate!

@@chrisglaz1557 I'd argue its not easy as you think. I have the drums and basic chords down. However, if you listen to that vocoder whistle style sample at the start and check out this instrumental (kzread.info/dash/bejne/k5uYuq-FiNWvhLA.html) theres some sound design that I can't work out how to do. The brass sounding synth i'm uncertain of as well.
