It's kinda crazy how every layer of the beat has its own back-story.

This should be shown to all the people that dismiss Adam as a musical lightweight. He is an absolute master of sound and all the more brilliant for being self-taught.

If you don't know it, this is Shackleton off of The Endurance. If you don't believe me, go listen to it.

Can you imagine the percussion section if this song were performed live? "I'll play the green pepper. Johnny's got the shotgun."

hahahaha, lol

For those wondering, this song is "Shackleton" released as part of one of Adam Young's scores album, "The Endurance"

This is why Adam has the most unique music on Earth.

That moment when you find a tutorial by your fave musician... Only one word. Rad.

I literally just learned so much about you in like 5 minutes.

Who knew that biting apples and ripping bell peppers could sound so good? haha

Biting an apple. *four of them* HMPH!

"This is the action on my shotgun." XD I don't know why, I just love hearing those words coming from Adam Young.

This was a really great watch, thanks so much for putting this together for us Adam. Keep doing what you love, you've inspired my music so much.

Crazy finding you here! You were my childhood, now I'm grown up and making music of my own, but I can't deny that you had a maaassive influence on me ehehe

I love how he casually tells the world he has a shotgun, and goes yeah I use it for foley.

Oh my goodness... To finally get a peak into his studio is a dream come true! When I first started making music all I did was listen to his music and pick apart every individual layer of the track and study it. He was my inspiration for every note I played 3 years ago. He taught me to expand my view on other artists to finally create my own sound! - Thank You Adam!

If you ever get tired of making music for consumers, you have a guaranteed career in sound design for film. This is superb

so good! would love to see a tutorial on how you do your pads, they're always so nice and textured and pads in general are just really hard to do imo...

i would love to see a whole series of adam just going through his tracks and explaining all the little details of what he finds interesting in his own music. so cool

At first, I thought this channel was not the real Adam Young until I heard his voice. lol

casually mentions shotgun.... nbd. that's so badass dude

It's very comforting to know that when I listen to his music, I'm actually hearing sounds from his entire life.

I make music myself, and I started because of you. Thanks for making this, and I hope you make more!

Wow, this is really fascinating. Thank you so much for making this, It's incredibly helpful

Adam thanks a lot for the video. It's great to get tutorials from people professionally in the industry. Music is a passion of mine and it's great to see how similar my workflow is to yours. Keep up the good work!

"The gratuitous dadadas I tend to do" Hahaha that was hilarious

This is amazing! I wish I was as talented as you, dude. Could you maybe break down a few of your songs? I would love to see Umbrella Beach! Please? :)

Thank you so much! I've always wanted a tutorial from you! But what would be even more awesome than this is if you did a tutorial for your older style of music. (first 3 albums)

Love this! I've enjoyed listening to your music and its evolution over the years, so it's fascinating to see a bit of the behind the scenes process. Keep up the good work, I look forward to hearing more from you in the future. 😊

Adam is a real musical genius , only less people could realize his awesomeness

I'll have you know that this video led me to dropping an entire case of six thousand BBs on to my bedroom floor. They're everywhere. Oh. My Gosh. They're e v e r y w h e r e.

dude, this is incredible. i've loved your music since in june and have been producing since 2010, so getting a glimpse into your process is an absolute treat. more, please!

Adam! This is beyond inspirational, dude! I'm actually blown away that you put so much time into finding your own unique sounds for songs! Thanks for sharing and I'd love to hear more!

This is so awesome! I also just love listening to your voice and hearing you talk about what you love :D

holy crap this is so crazyyyyy! thanks so much for giving us some insight into how u put all these ‘ordinary’ sounds together and made music. WOW this is so cool, i wish there were more of these videos

I really hope you make more tutorials like this. Your music is amazing and seeing your production tips is great!

This is so awesome! I love how every little sound you don't really think about just casually listening to the song has a story behind it, it gives the music so much more meaning and individuality. Thanks, Adam!

You are such a hero, dude!!! Ever since I first heard you back when with the Fireflies track, I told all my buddies you were class. You really have cemented your talent with this years score projects! Thanks for being a huge inspiration, man!

This is absolutely fantastic. Please do more of these! 🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing!!! This is honestly what keeps me inspired watching other artists and their obsessions with strange sounds. The oddest one I had was feedback from unplugging/replugging the mic whilst recording. Awful awful sound but ended up with a cool gravitational pull kind of sound! Xx

So interesting to watch, hope this will be like an ongoing series cos I loved this

love seeing your process, Adam!

You are so resourceful and this is pretty dope. Thanks for sharing!

"See you next time" WHERE ARE THOU Would love to see more.

Umm.. I just discovered this today and I’m kind of blown away!! I already love the “Adam Young projects” but this makes you really appreciate just how much work goes into the music. Super cool process. It’s probably a lot of work, but you should def make more of these videos. Also, you’ve got a really great podcast voice lol

These kind of videos are amazing! As an aspiring artist it's a dream come true to see how your favorite artist produces his music. So inspirational! Please do more!

Thanks for the video man! You've inspired me to mess around in logic a bit and work on some of my own music - this video was super helpful.

This is great! I’ve been getting into working on music in Logic lately, this is so cool! Thanks!

I absolutely love videos like this. I don't know why, but I kept laughing while watching this. Adam, I love all of your work, and I hope that you upload videos like this in the future!

You are what inspired me to start making music a few years ago and this video really does remind me why I love doing it. Please make more! :)

Simple and truly informative. Thank you so much for posting!

This is amazing! I LOVE AND ADORE the sound of everything together! I hope this going to be one of your songs!! 😁😁😁

Thanks Adam, this was really great. It's cool to be able to see behind some of your processes.

I love stuff like this, hope you do it again as it's always nice to hear from you and to get an insight into your process is very humanising and thoughtful of you 🙂

This was incredible to watch. Thank you for sharing your process with us! I would love to learn more from you, I think a lot of people would.

Really appreciate that Adam, thank you for sharing an inside look at one of your projects and some of your creative process! -Dean

I love learning new creative techniques! Keep them coming please! :)

OMG how have I just found this now?? I'm actually in the middle of listening to Corduroy Road right now! It is INCREDIBLE to see the work that goes into this songs. You're right, Adam. They do sound like you. Amazing

Very cool to see this. I really enjoyed watching and hope you do more of these. I never knew just how many custom samples you used in your songs like this. Also I'd love to see something like this for some of your older Owl City songs from All Things Bright and Beautiful or Ocean Eyes. Those songs had some really nice subtle melodies going on.

Love this. So neat to get what is essentially a private lesson from someone that has inspired me so much!

This was great. I come back to it from time to time. I'd love to see more videos.

Thanks for this snippet into your genius, Adam! I really look forward to hearing your November album.

Super cool. Thanks for unpacking this. So much amazing detail in all your music.

I fell in love with this track the first time I heard it.. the beat is insane!!! Really enjoyed hearing where the sounds originated from!

this is so awesome. I've never heard him talking about production like this. better than any interview!!!

Adam, this is amazing. Thank you for making this and please make more!

Amazing!! It's so interesting to see how different seperated elements takes to make a great song!!

I love this! Definitely gonna be taking this advice. You inspired me to make music, and I will follow you no matter what turn your music takes. You're truly inspiring, Adam. Thank you for all that you do.

This is so interesting! Ah I can't even begin to imagine how you come up with all this! , it's incredible! Thank you for showing this!

I gotta say I love your creativity in these sounds.

Loving this man! Thanks for the tutorial!

This was so insightful and inspirational! Thank you so much Adam! I would love to see more of this type of video from you sometime in the future! :D

Ugh you're so precious, Adam. Thank you; I needed this today.

Awesome production, awesome mixing!

Excellent composition, Adam. Thanks for sharing!

It's nice to see how the personality of each of the tracks can combine to a greater whole that brings you to a totally different place. Great tutorial!

Hey its me again. Been a couple years...Adam can you please make more KZread tutorial content?

Haven't really ever been into your music in the past, but it's obvious you know your shit. And you're well-spoken too. Smart man.

Thank you so much for this Adam! Would love to see some more tutorials

Amazing. Thank you for this video. It made me remember borrowing a tow-chain from the gas station next to our France Avenue studio in 1989; I dropped it onto a section of a Yamaha cymbal stand, capturing it with a simple 57 into a DSM-1 sampler, then layered it with a detuned reverse snare for live performance.

ha. love this. I have a boss br-600 that's a great sample taker. been plugging the samples into either Iris 1 or 2, and going from there. love creating the sounds and I know it's stuff no one has heard before. thanks for the layering show.

Just a musical genius at work! Love this.

Aah, been messing around with custom sampling recently and I love mixing it with synths just to get that organic/acoustic vibe in the middle of everything. The slapback and splash were really awesome! They really made nice build-ups to the beat. Now I know what to try next, heh.. Hope you'll continue doing these! Thanks!

Very creative with layering samples. I like the car trailer, I was literally beating on a simi trailer a couple weeks ago thinking this sounds as good if not better then my orchestral drums from my eastwest libraries. Thanks for the video very out of the box.

Hey man, epic you got these great results. Because of this video I actually bought a mic because I loved that bass drum so much :p Now, I'm wondering with what he hits the car trailer? Is it just with his bare hands or does he use a drum stick/mallet for it? What did you use? Would love to know :D

great insight into your work! loved the track xxx

I've been wanting you to do this kind of thing!!! This is awesome!

This makes me so excited! Please make more omg.

sounds amazing looking forward to it!!!❤️❤️❤️

I loved this song! It's cool seeing how it's made!

For a long time I would have given anything for you to be on the Song Exploder podcast. But this is SO much better! Thank you so much for making this!!!

This is amazing, Adam! More, please!
