IN THE STUDIO WITH SKRILLEX - 6 Huge Music Production Tips From His (Deleted) Twitch Stream
Music Production tips from Skrillex. The original twitch stream was 2 hours, which i have edited to make a music production tutorial. In this video, Skrillex provides Ableton tips for music producers (beginner and advanced). Edit: I was wrong, this was an instagram live stream. But hey, any chance to get in the studio with Skrillex is a good day.

@@SolStateMusic I think the way I see it is personifying - not necessarily using senses. Giving each part a personification, acting as if it’s a human, and leading it through a story or it’s own life.
What I love the most about this is that there’s no top secret producer tricks to a lot of his stuff. He just has a really good ear and insane ability to lay down ideas quickly.

Coolest dude. Postponed a concert in my country. Year and a half later comes and makes 2 hour set. And Im in Bulgaria. We thought its not lucrative enough for him to ever come, and it wasnt. There were only 3-4k people on that 2 hour beast party and tickets were 35$. Despite that Sonny had a blast with us, lit a cigarette, and in the end he sang a song to us which almost made me cry.

deadmau5 has some amazing production streams which i highly recommend checking out. theyre a bit better than skrillex's because he actually shares his whole screen, whereas skrillex is using just his phone to show the screen. but im sure if skrillex does more of these he'll improve how he shares the views of his DAW. it's still pretty awesome to hear his thoughts on production and see his workflow
I love this guy so much. Zero ego, completely in touch with the rest of the world's sensibilities, wise as heyell, super positive all the time somehow, and a fkn genius of a producer/musician. I'm so happy it's Skrilly Season right now, and I hope his two albums have a combined 59 songs when it's all out.

I’ve been waiting for a video like this since I first heard him. No one else comes close to the number of great ideas he has in a song. Just the sheer volume of great sounds, in the right places. How does he not let the tech get in the way? When I try this I end up layering EQ to a snare for 4 hours. How does he always manage to select the right sound for the song, and get it to be perfectly in the groove. He’s unmatched.
Good stuff skril. One of the legends. You gotta come back and start dropping those sick beats again.
I love this guy, he loves what he does and I respect him so much for that.

Encouraging to see that you don't need 4k of UAD plugins to sound good. Just the right attitude and a willingness to learn the basics of sound design and mixing. (From someone who bought 4k of UAD plugins and hardware and now can't sell them coz everyone is broke, fffffffs!)

Glad to see you back making fire Sonny. Ive headbanged to your Music since From First To Last and your 2nd album Heroine was the soundtrack to my life for awhile. So much gut wrenching emotion throughout that whole album with your powerful highrange vocals on top of Metal Guitar Riffs. I just switched from FL Studio to Ableton and love these In The Studios with you. Really gets me motivated to write music and your philosophy of creating music is very helpful and inspirational. Thanks again Sonny for all the great music over the years 🙌

Tips from the video: 1 sing the melody 2 counter melodies are cool 3 Quantize,but dont over do it. 4 Identify the main song idea and build around it. 5 sketch ideas first and then build the track on them. 6 Automate whenever possible. His favourite vst : Basically he loves all the ableton vst. Thank you. Hope this eases your effort.
I can't wait untill this song comes out. It's unreal already.

1:24 I really wish he would release this already. I don't even care if he does anything else with it. Just that loop is something I could listen on repeat.

I do t produce anymore but when I did this reminded me of one simple fact. He really made and gave the best lesson to follow here.... Keep it fast and keep it simple and build around an idea. Before I knew hardly anything about producing I made great beats and tunes. Learnt a shit ton with a million plug ins and then the music making stopped and it became some impossible science.
