just add unison to a saw wave, turn down the detune, and send a plucky envelope to the filter. done. (oh you'll need a lil delay and reverb) trust me that's it!

3:55 - For what it's worth, he literally says "I'm going to copy the rhythm from my favorite song right now, it's called Sleepless" and shows the album art for it.
Wow! This is incredible. Seriously, I have playlists dedicated to music production and this is top 5 over all the years. Kudos to you brother. Thank you!

It's so wholesome how excited Alex gets when listening to what he just added. It's just some simple serum soundwaves put together yet it actually moves me to tears when I hear it. Beautiful work.
Back after a couple of years. Earlier videos helped get me started. Now I’m looking to develop what I’ve learned. Thanks for the tips. 👍🏽👍🏽
Another great video Alex. Really easy to follow. Brilliant stuff 😁👊🔥🔥
I don't wait for bell notifications... I come back to rewatch and keep learning... you're of positive great impact to us the upcoming home producers Sir... God bless you
Man your videos are so fun to watch, you have an awesome energy! Thanks for the great quality tutorials dude
Thanks bro!!! i get so much into the mood of making music when i listen to your videos!
Alex your tutorial and explanation are simply amazing...thank you so much 💙
I love this genre of music and know a lot of songs which have this style, and from your composition can be seen your skills and experience. Great job and thank you!
Thanks for making these videos look so easy, always inspires me to make my own music.
great video and absolutely beautiful "chord" progression, thanks for sharing
Brilliant and inspiring as always. Thank ya sir!
Bro I’m really speechless 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Congratulations man
always enjoy your content
Dude so sick!!!! Thanks for breaking it down like this 🔥
Love your content, I've learned so much!
Dope video man. Very helpful. Especially liked the part where you added the atmospheric layers to the low energy section at the start 😊
Clear and concise! Love this man!
Possibly the best tutorial EVER! Thank you, Alex : )
Beautiful. So simple yet so powerful.
You just casually make the best songs in every video😆 really helpfull💪

@@whitelikesnowfall kind of, but deadmau5 up to this day likes to implement an analog flavor to his tunes and the way these synths are build up is also the way deadmau5 makes his sounds most of the time. Name one artist that has the exact same synthsounds like deadmau5. I don't want to start an argument whether this reflects EDM or deadmau5 specifically but, this was the first thing popping into my mind and yes every artist uses synths like Serum. And I found no one to a certain extent that sounds like this.

@@TraxtasyMedia it's hard to find exact same sounds from other artists... Because everyone has their unique style... What I meant is that classic EDM house music uses a lot of these similar sounds and techniques and why not... They work well... Just like we see in this video, that song sounds really cool (to me)
Very exciting video, you are an EXCELLENT teacher! Thank you.
bro, I'll be straight honest, I wasn't fully engaged until 11:15 when you dropped in. right there I was like yup, time to subscribe
What a great and practical tutorial!! Thank you
This works like a charm, thanks Alex!
Just a lush for the ears! Amazing!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
You make making music feel very simple... Cheers🙂
I really learned that dotted pattern from this tutorials ...Thank you Alex 🔥🔥🔥

Thank you for your inspirational work!
You just blew my mind here. Great.
This is absolutely amazing!!!!!
Thanks for these lessons!
Great beat that Alex, has the funk!
Sounds epic bro and great tutorial thank you
Nice strategy brother! Interesting 👏💯
Very straightforward instructions, thank you
This is sick🔥🔥🔥

Knowing and using many DAWS as a person who is into mixing and mastering make things much easier for clients, so they can send in their projects without having them to switch the DAW or just exporting WAV files

nice to see more of the song being made.
fire video brother
Amazing. Thank you!
You are the best Alex 👍👍
those drums are 🔥🔥🔥
nicely done 👍
Дякую друже за те що то робиш, є дуже класні моменти, які ти стрктуруєш👍 Бережи себе 🙏🇺🇦
Evet seçeneklerden böyle kısa başla bitir vidyoları olsaydı kesinlikle bu olmasını isterdim. Harika vidyo💯
you can shift + up/down arrow instead of dragging the notes to instantly move them up/down in the MIDI (in ableton)
Really appreciated. Thanks.
Great stuff 10/10
So awesome!
Love it!
Alex!!!!!!!! You god, you 🖤🖤
YOU ARE KING!!!!!
Powerful 🔥🔥
Just simple, that groovy!
THE POPUPS >>>>> this also needs to go viral
Great tutorials
The best! Iam dj and producer from Brazil!
I am just starting in the music world and that percussion part looks intimidating but it sounded awesome
Your skills combined with your passion make you one helluva good teacher Maestro. Your songs all do have a bit of an airy, melodic sound to them which is cool but not necessarily gonna get the dancefloor jumping at 3am. Would be interesting to see you create something a little dirtier. Some filthy techy Kyle Watson kinda style.
9:52 I didn't like the final result but the drums bro, they are awesome, what a rhythm I love it, I might take some inspiration from that, I wish you went over them a bit more in details :)
Hi Alex! Nice video thanks for all the tips! I was wondering where you got this drum samples, they are pretty cool and I would like to find them too
Surely the "simplest stategy" is go to splice, pick a genre, pick a key and combine a drum loop , bass loop, chord stab and vocal in the same key? done!
loved it
this tune came out nice
And that (OEH!), ladies & gentlemen is what they call the hook. The "OEH" is the expression of joy when we discover one. 😂
10/10 this is how all tutorials should be
Hello Alex Suppose you want the mix of this title to sound like another title, how do you do, do you use a plugin? Thanks
good stuff
Sick Sick video
Alex, what software do you use in your videos? Great vid also
Very Nice , Reminds me of Rufus du sol tracks
When did you start using Ableton Alex? Don't think I have seen it in your vids before.
Hey man. Love your videos, you should do a video recreating daft punk. Maybe veridis quo or anything you can create that sounds similar to daft punks style outside the sampling style. I’d really appreciate that ❤
YES!
haha no way, as soon as you played the first chord I thought I recognised it & then played sleepless to see if it matched... then u said it was ur fav song 😂
It's Lit🔥
wow thats some deadmau5-ey chords! amazing!
Very helpful

Who cares about the DAW? THE OUTCOME counts, DAWS are for creating music and sound but not what outcome is the result. The end-user is mostly not interested in what DAW someone used during production. The result counts.
