1
00:00:00,100 --> 00:00:02,333
so last lesson was all about making the track
2
00:00:02,333 --> 00:00:04,066
making very simple tracks you write over to
3
00:00:04,066 --> 00:00:04,999
and now in this lesson
4
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:06,766
we're going to write over that track
5
00:00:06,766 --> 00:00:08,799
so the general approach of how I think about writing
6
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:10,500
in general um
7
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,866
is just to say something that people already say
8
00:00:14,900 --> 00:00:17,666
um as songwriters as artists
9
00:00:17,666 --> 00:00:19,833
as producers uh
10
00:00:20,333 --> 00:00:24,866
our goal is to help people who don't do that
11
00:00:24,866 --> 00:00:26,033
for a profession
12
00:00:26,100 --> 00:00:28,033
to fill in the blank for them
13
00:00:28,166 --> 00:00:31,166
to make something that they want to say to somebody
14
00:00:31,566 --> 00:00:32,699
a bit easier
15
00:00:32,700 --> 00:00:34,000
by showing them a song
16
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,300
by maybe showing them
17
00:00:35,300 --> 00:00:36,766
the song that we're writing right now
18
00:00:36,766 --> 00:00:37,599
the song that you're writing
19
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:38,733
the one that I'm writing
20
00:00:38,733 --> 00:00:41,766
we want to as artists
21
00:00:41,766 --> 00:00:43,133
because we are artists
22
00:00:43,133 --> 00:00:47,499
we want to make people's lives easier by having
23
00:00:47,500 --> 00:00:48,300
by using like
24
00:00:48,300 --> 00:00:50,400
a song assistant method
25
00:00:50,466 --> 00:00:52,833
and that's why I always kind of think about
26
00:00:53,166 --> 00:00:54,199
that's why I always pay attention
27
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,233
to what people say in conversation
28
00:00:56,300 --> 00:00:58,700
um because people might inadvertently
29
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:00,033
say something really dope
30
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:01,766
and might turn into a cool lyric
31
00:01:02,366 --> 00:01:04,999
and I think I was kind of riffing on something
32
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:05,866
in the last lesson
33
00:01:05,866 --> 00:01:07,866
I had like a little sentence pop up
34
00:01:07,966 --> 00:01:09,199
um in my head
35
00:01:09,200 --> 00:01:10,733
we'll see if that still works
36
00:01:10,733 --> 00:01:12,099
I need a little refresh
37
00:01:12,100 --> 00:01:14,266
I might need to play this track a couple times
38
00:01:14,866 --> 00:01:17,733
but um we'll start with the chorus first
39
00:01:17,733 --> 00:01:18,766
and then build around that
40
00:01:18,766 --> 00:01:19,766
that's what I usually do
41
00:01:19,766 --> 00:01:20,866
come up with the core first
42
00:01:20,866 --> 00:01:23,366
and then all the stuff surrounding it are
43
00:01:23,366 --> 00:01:25,266
we start out by listening at a very low volume
44
00:01:25,266 --> 00:01:26,699
I don't wanna kill my ears
45
00:01:28,300 --> 00:01:29,400
oh yeah I remember that
46
00:01:42,366 --> 00:01:43,599
so I have something in mind
47
00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,433
this is the verse section right here
48
00:01:45,566 --> 00:01:47,133
but I'm not gonna focus on that right now
49
00:01:47,133 --> 00:01:48,666
this is the chorus coming up right here
50
00:01:48,666 --> 00:01:49,966
I'm gonna focus on that
51
00:02:11,966 --> 00:02:13,299
for sure changing that snare
52
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,466
but it's good to hear just for the rhythm right now
53
00:02:15,466 --> 00:02:18,666
okay so what I would usually do
54
00:02:18,666 --> 00:02:20,366
and I recommend you to do the same
55
00:02:20,533 --> 00:02:23,299
um I have this little record track right here
56
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,333
I'll make it bigger to put some emphasis on it
57
00:02:26,333 --> 00:02:31,466
um I make it red and yellow and uh
58
00:02:31,466 --> 00:02:32,533
Redford record
59
00:02:32,533 --> 00:02:35,199
and the only thing I have on here right now
60
00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:39,933
um my vocal chain is an 1176 going through a uh
61
00:02:39,933 --> 00:02:42,299
well it used to be a TD two now it's a
62
00:02:42,766 --> 00:02:45,233
it's a nive kind of situation
63
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:46,533
um I'm not even gonna pretend
64
00:02:46,533 --> 00:02:49,266
I know all the ins and outs of that compressor
65
00:02:49,266 --> 00:02:50,799
just makes my voice sound good
66
00:02:50,800 --> 00:02:52,166
this is a telefunkin
67
00:02:52,166 --> 00:02:53,366
I usually use
68
00:02:53,366 --> 00:02:55,333
um a little cheaper handheld mic
69
00:02:55,333 --> 00:02:57,133
but might as well use a really nice one
70
00:02:57,133 --> 00:02:59,566
if it's right here in front of me
71
00:02:59,733 --> 00:03:02,099
I I'm very insecure about my voice
72
00:03:02,100 --> 00:03:04,666
to be completely honest and um
73
00:03:05,066 --> 00:03:08,766
I try and put as much stuff on it right away
74
00:03:08,933 --> 00:03:10,133
like I know for like
75
00:03:10,133 --> 00:03:10,733
Alicia Keys
76
00:03:10,733 --> 00:03:11,399
for example
77
00:03:11,400 --> 00:03:12,533
is an amazing singer
78
00:03:12,533 --> 00:03:13,999
a way better singer than me
79
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:15,500
and sings with absolutely nothing
80
00:03:15,500 --> 00:03:18,533
no reverb no auto tune or anything um
81
00:03:18,533 --> 00:03:21,399
I do the opposite because I'm not as good of a singer
82
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:23,333
so I need to hear my voice kind of perfect
83
00:03:23,333 --> 00:03:25,399
because I guess it's my perfect pitch too
84
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,066
um if I hear one wrong note
85
00:03:27,066 --> 00:03:29,299
I'll just get discouraged and think the melody is bad
86
00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:32,266
so on the first channel strip here
87
00:03:32,300 --> 00:03:34,500
I'll put the auto tune to classic mode
88
00:03:34,500 --> 00:03:38,433
and turn the retune speed all the way up to zero
89
00:03:38,733 --> 00:03:41,133
um so it sounds like a super robot
90
00:03:41,133 --> 00:03:42,066
and put in the classic mode
91
00:03:42,066 --> 00:03:43,266
of course um
92
00:03:43,266 --> 00:03:44,333
d flat major
93
00:03:44,333 --> 00:03:44,899
like I said
94
00:03:44,900 --> 00:03:46,666
this song is in d flat major
95
00:03:47,366 --> 00:03:49,833
um I'll probably
96
00:03:50,866 --> 00:03:53,399
let's put a little reverb on here
97
00:03:53,600 --> 00:03:54,733
chat chat chat
98
00:03:54,733 --> 00:03:55,799
so I put it
99
00:03:58,266 --> 00:04:01,166
I make it super super tune
100
00:04:01,166 --> 00:04:03,399
because I know it's not gonna end up sounding like that
101
00:04:03,400 --> 00:04:05,333
but in my mind it's honestly
102
00:04:05,333 --> 00:04:07,466
I just saw Esther Dean track her vocals like that
103
00:04:07,466 --> 00:04:09,366
back in 2,015 when I worked with her
104
00:04:09,366 --> 00:04:11,099
and I just have done it ever since
105
00:04:11,100 --> 00:04:11,866
and just sounds like
106
00:04:11,866 --> 00:04:13,399
it sounds like a final vocal
107
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:15,400
even though it's super robotic
108
00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:17,666
and you know that there's room for improvement
109
00:04:17,900 --> 00:04:19,800
so that's why I do it
110
00:04:20,733 --> 00:04:21,699
yeah yeah yeah yeah
111
00:04:22,333 --> 00:04:26,066
um I also have a CLA76 on here
112
00:04:26,066 --> 00:04:28,599
just cause it's low latency um
113
00:04:31,333 --> 00:04:32,199
I do it just like that
114
00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:33,600
I can turn the input up
115
00:04:33,600 --> 00:04:37,066
and squash the vocal a little bit it's the
116
00:04:37,066 --> 00:04:40,699
what's gonna inspire a lot of melodies out of me is uh
117
00:04:41,700 --> 00:04:44,233
knowing that it sounds like like
118
00:04:45,333 --> 00:04:46,366
what's the best way to say this
119
00:04:46,366 --> 00:04:47,666
like super squash but like
120
00:04:47,666 --> 00:04:48,799
not too squashed
121
00:04:49,266 --> 00:04:52,399
and like I want to hear a lot of processing on my voice
122
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:56,600
let's throw 8th note delay on here to check
123
00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,500
check check
124
00:04:57,666 --> 00:04:58,766
yeah yeah yeah
125
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:02,400
so I have this melody
126
00:05:02,500 --> 00:05:03,533
when I was making the track
127
00:05:03,533 --> 00:05:05,799
this melody kind of just reared its head
128
00:05:05,966 --> 00:05:09,466
um uh I was making it and it's just
129
00:05:09,766 --> 00:05:12,299
just the fifth above d flat
130
00:05:12,300 --> 00:05:13,700
so starting on a flat
131
00:05:13,700 --> 00:05:15,066
and in my mind
132
00:05:15,066 --> 00:05:16,266
this chorus went with
133
00:05:16,266 --> 00:05:18,166
when the vocals completely finished
134
00:05:18,166 --> 00:05:20,399
would have a slightly stacked
135
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,600
tears for fears kind of sounding vocal versus a
136
00:05:27,900 --> 00:05:31,266
and I would stack that kind of like midzi head tone
137
00:05:31,466 --> 00:05:33,799
airy voice like maybe four times
138
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:34,966
I can show you how I
139
00:05:34,966 --> 00:05:35,733
how I do that
140
00:05:35,733 --> 00:05:37,499
but I'll make the demo
141
00:05:38,066 --> 00:05:40,899
I'll sometimes tune the demo and make it sound perfect
142
00:05:40,900 --> 00:05:41,533
because then I can
143
00:05:41,533 --> 00:05:42,466
I just like
144
00:05:42,500 --> 00:05:43,100
enjoy it more
145
00:05:43,100 --> 00:05:45,200
when I bop around and listen to it in the car
146
00:05:45,333 --> 00:05:47,333
that sounds like a almost finished product
147
00:05:47,333 --> 00:05:48,399
even though it's not
148
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:51,300
um so let's listen to this chorus one more time
149
00:05:54,666 --> 00:05:57,499
yeah yeah yeah yeah turn it up
150
00:06:02,133 --> 00:06:04,399
it's gonna turn that synth down a little bit too
151
00:06:12,733 --> 00:06:14,333
so the lyric I had in mind was
152
00:06:14,333 --> 00:06:16,699
why you gotta get why you gotta go and get my hopes up
153
00:06:16,700 --> 00:06:18,166
and we'll figure out what
154
00:06:18,166 --> 00:06:19,733
why my brain wanted me to do that
155
00:06:19,733 --> 00:06:20,466
but it just
156
00:06:20,466 --> 00:06:22,099
it also sounds good off the tongue
157
00:06:22,100 --> 00:06:24,300
why you gotta go and get my hopes up
158
00:06:25,933 --> 00:06:27,266
I don't know what it means yet
159
00:06:33,733 --> 00:06:36,133
so oh I'm so upset
160
00:06:36,133 --> 00:06:37,866
oh that could be cool too
161
00:06:38,366 --> 00:06:39,899
the guy gonna go
162
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,133
okay something I love okay
163
00:06:42,133 --> 00:06:42,733
pause real quick
164
00:06:42,733 --> 00:06:47,599
something I love doing is whatever the lyric is
165
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:49,400
and it doesn't have to work out like this all the time
166
00:06:49,400 --> 00:06:50,866
but whatever the lyric is
167
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:54,366
um if something's mirroring that in the melody
168
00:06:54,366 --> 00:06:56,999
so if the lyric is
169
00:06:57,000 --> 00:06:57,733
I don't know
170
00:06:57,733 --> 00:06:59,999
I think the lyric in this song is gonna be
171
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:01,766
why you got to go and get my hopes up
172
00:07:01,966 --> 00:07:03,466
if because it's
173
00:07:03,466 --> 00:07:05,499
it checks a couple boxes for me
174
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,000
it's something that people say
175
00:07:07,266 --> 00:07:09,599
you got my hopes up and
176
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,866
I think it would be really cool if the melody went up
177
00:07:12,866 --> 00:07:13,966
when I go up to
178
00:07:13,966 --> 00:07:15,199
so if I sing up in
179
00:07:15,200 --> 00:07:16,466
the melody goes up
180
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:18,100
there's some in it
181
00:07:18,100 --> 00:07:20,133
catchiness attached to that
182
00:07:20,133 --> 00:07:21,133
let's see if it sounds good
183
00:07:21,133 --> 00:07:22,466
I could be completely off
184
00:07:22,466 --> 00:07:24,299
but I don't think I am
185
00:07:29,733 --> 00:07:33,599
just gotta get every note perfectly get closer to it
186
00:07:40,766 --> 00:07:43,399
sad sad and that would be stacked too but
187
00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:52,900
get my hopes up oh that's kind of dope
188
00:07:54,100 --> 00:07:55,400
go and get my hopes up
189
00:07:56,933 --> 00:07:58,199
okay so I'll record
190
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,300
I'll turn the autotune a little bit down
191
00:08:00,300 --> 00:08:01,966
on the track that I drag it to
192
00:08:02,966 --> 00:08:06,633
it's just for recording purposes I don't
193
00:08:08,966 --> 00:08:14,166
want that up to be not as whiny I want to be
194
00:08:17,466 --> 00:08:19,166
give up suck suck
195
00:08:20,366 --> 00:08:21,966
go and get my oh suck suck
196
00:08:29,133 --> 00:08:31,266
kind of saying it the same way but it's cleaner
197
00:08:32,766 --> 00:08:34,266
uh do the
198
00:08:37,166 --> 00:08:38,566
okay so this is the most important part
199
00:08:38,566 --> 00:08:41,066
I'll take the unarm the track for a second
200
00:08:42,533 --> 00:08:45,199
on the theme of going slow and methodical
201
00:08:45,200 --> 00:08:47,433
with everything I will
202
00:08:50,966 --> 00:08:52,799
just turn that up a little bit
203
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:55,566
why you gonna go and get my hopes up
204
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,800
why you gonna go and get my hopes up
205
00:08:58,800 --> 00:09:01,533
I want that to be on the grid
206
00:09:01,533 --> 00:09:03,199
and I know it's a demo vocal
207
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,366
but why you gonna go and get my hopes up
208
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:07,566
sounds pretty on the grid actually
209
00:09:07,566 --> 00:09:10,099
I might just take this and just drag it
210
00:09:11,566 --> 00:09:13,833
going go going
211
00:09:15,166 --> 00:09:17,799
gotta go and get my hopes what and maybe this one too
212
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,700
why you gotta
213
00:09:19,966 --> 00:09:21,033
why you gotta gotta
214
00:09:21,100 --> 00:09:22,400
gotta gotta
215
00:09:22,933 --> 00:09:24,199
why you gotta go and get
216
00:09:24,200 --> 00:09:26,166
and the y just over to the left a little bit
217
00:09:26,166 --> 00:09:28,066
why you gotta go and get my hopes
218
00:09:28,133 --> 00:09:30,633
why you gotta go and get my hopes get my
219
00:09:30,700 --> 00:09:31,733
let me put it on the grid
220
00:09:31,733 --> 00:09:32,899
see where that 69 is yeah
221
00:09:32,900 --> 00:09:35,800
I can drag this over to the left a little bit it's just
222
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:40,666
it's so satisfying just having the silly demo vocal
223
00:09:40,666 --> 00:09:42,066
just being so in pocket
224
00:09:42,066 --> 00:09:43,199
why you gonna go
225
00:09:52,266 --> 00:09:54,366
this is what happened we with we don't talk anymore
226
00:09:54,366 --> 00:09:56,733
and that vocal ended up being in the actual song
227
00:09:56,733 --> 00:09:57,533
so you never know
228
00:09:57,533 --> 00:09:58,566
I don't think this one is
229
00:09:58,566 --> 00:09:59,533
but maybe it will be
230
00:09:59,533 --> 00:09:59,899
I don't know
231
00:09:59,900 --> 00:10:01,700
why you gonna go and get my hopes up
232
00:10:01,700 --> 00:10:03,966
oh why you gonna go and get my hopes up
233
00:10:03,966 --> 00:10:05,233
I wanna get get my
234
00:10:06,566 --> 00:10:08,199
just take some space out
235
00:10:08,666 --> 00:10:11,633
there's something rhythmic about it I don't know
236
00:10:15,066 --> 00:10:16,833
go and get my get my
237
00:10:17,266 --> 00:10:18,266
kind of take this one out
238
00:10:18,266 --> 00:10:19,533
this is what I do for every song
239
00:10:19,533 --> 00:10:20,733
go and get my hopes
240
00:10:20,733 --> 00:10:22,799
get my go and get my hopes
241
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,166
go and get my hopes get my
242
00:10:25,733 --> 00:10:26,566
barely noticeable
243
00:10:26,566 --> 00:10:28,066
go and get my hopes up
244
00:10:28,166 --> 00:10:29,433
go and get my hopes
245
00:10:29,733 --> 00:10:31,166
just a little cut right here too
246
00:10:31,166 --> 00:10:31,999
so it just like
247
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:33,433
impacts it lands
248
00:10:33,666 --> 00:10:34,699
get my hopes up
249
00:10:35,366 --> 00:10:36,433
get my hopes up
250
00:10:36,533 --> 00:10:37,599
just that up
251
00:10:37,600 --> 00:10:40,200
bring it over a little bit so it's get my hopes up
252
00:10:41,533 --> 00:10:44,899
I wanna hear it with some more tune
253
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:55,200
something like simple okay
254
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:56,566
so that's the tag right there
255
00:11:05,133 --> 00:11:07,399
and I'll copy and paste that one
256
00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,700
since I spent so much time making it good
257
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,600
oops over one
258
00:11:18,566 --> 00:11:19,733
I hate that snare
259
00:11:19,733 --> 00:11:20,733
I gotta mute that snare
260
00:11:20,733 --> 00:11:22,066
no production right now
261
00:11:22,066 --> 00:11:22,866
but I'm just
262
00:11:25,166 --> 00:11:26,599
so much better okay sorry
263
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:33,100
okay so let's do the B melody right now
264
00:11:33,100 --> 00:11:35,366
this might be a little rough
265
00:11:35,366 --> 00:11:36,166
but let's see
266
00:11:36,533 --> 00:11:38,166
and now we're gonna do it
267
00:11:38,366 --> 00:11:41,266
make me think it did want me from the book
268
00:11:41,266 --> 00:11:42,299
and make it make
269
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:44,000
why you gotta go and get my hopes up
270
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,366
and make me think you wanted me from the beginning
271
00:11:46,500 --> 00:11:47,766
make me think it did
272
00:11:47,766 --> 00:11:48,966
I mean I know you wouldn't say
273
00:11:48,966 --> 00:11:51,366
make me think you did want me from the beginning
274
00:11:51,366 --> 00:11:52,133
but it like it
275
00:11:52,133 --> 00:11:53,933
it's kind of a weird way to say it
276
00:11:53,933 --> 00:11:54,799
I don't know
277
00:11:55,100 --> 00:11:55,733
could change
278
00:11:55,733 --> 00:11:57,266
but we're gonna get the melody
279
00:12:13,333 --> 00:12:14,966
I did oh I
280
00:12:34,333 --> 00:12:36,666
oh maybe I go up on that
281
00:12:44,266 --> 00:12:45,933
I'm gonna bring the compressor
282
00:12:45,933 --> 00:12:48,666
this LA to I love this by UAD
283
00:12:49,466 --> 00:12:50,966
make it a little more squashed
284
00:12:50,966 --> 00:12:53,799
gonna go and get my hopes up gonna
285
00:12:55,066 --> 00:12:56,299
I should probably here I'll
286
00:12:56,300 --> 00:12:58,466
I'll show you what my chain is right now
287
00:12:58,466 --> 00:13:01,366
so obviously I have my record track right here
288
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:03,100
and then I record everything here
289
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:05,733
and then drag it down to this chorus track
290
00:13:05,733 --> 00:13:06,766
I just have it in my template
291
00:13:06,766 --> 00:13:09,366
cause I always start with the chorus um
292
00:13:10,066 --> 00:13:12,433
this just take a little lows out
293
00:13:12,933 --> 00:13:14,433
whatever the hell this thing is
294
00:13:14,733 --> 00:13:15,699
this is like a
295
00:13:15,700 --> 00:13:17,000
what even is this
296
00:13:17,166 --> 00:13:18,099
see I don't even like know
297
00:13:18,100 --> 00:13:20,566
like my engineer at pen help me set this up
298
00:13:20,700 --> 00:13:21,200
I don't know
299
00:13:21,200 --> 00:13:22,533
it's like a compressor or something like that
300
00:13:22,533 --> 00:13:23,833
this is a dser
301
00:13:25,166 --> 00:13:26,599
this is a great compressor
302
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:30,166
kind of looks like I recorded a very low I
303
00:13:30,166 --> 00:13:31,466
I gained stated a little bit
304
00:13:31,466 --> 00:13:33,133
but like this kind of just rounds everything out
305
00:13:33,133 --> 00:13:34,099
and makes it nice
306
00:13:34,100 --> 00:13:36,133
and pleasant and uh
307
00:13:36,133 --> 00:13:37,599
Zed told me to do this
308
00:13:37,600 --> 00:13:41,266
put a little bit of a widening delay on the vocals
309
00:13:41,266 --> 00:13:42,966
the difference here if I take it off
310
00:13:45,066 --> 00:13:46,199
if you don't want to take the time
311
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:47,500
to stack a bunch of vocals
312
00:13:47,500 --> 00:13:48,600
you just put the
313
00:13:48,600 --> 00:13:49,600
turn this up here
314
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:50,633
and it sounds like this
315
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,400
and it's just about kind of
316
00:13:54,666 --> 00:13:56,366
blending it and making it sound
317
00:13:56,766 --> 00:13:58,399
not that you don't want it to be like
318
00:13:59,266 --> 00:14:00,099
that's annoying
319
00:14:00,100 --> 00:14:01,266
so you just bring it up like
320
00:14:03,900 --> 00:14:08,300
I'm gonna take a little bit hmm
321
00:14:08,933 --> 00:14:12,633
I'm gonna drag these here and I want less delay
322
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:15,866
again it's not a race
323
00:14:15,866 --> 00:14:19,099
it's better to just kind of move slow and thoughtful
324
00:14:19,100 --> 00:14:20,233
why you gotta go
325
00:14:23,400 --> 00:14:24,900
I don't even want the 4th layer
326
00:14:24,900 --> 00:14:25,866
but I'm gonna keep it there anyway
327
00:14:25,866 --> 00:14:26,866
cause it does something
328
00:14:26,866 --> 00:14:28,199
why you gotta go and get my
329
00:14:36,133 --> 00:14:37,866
I'm gonna sing that a little bit softer
330
00:14:51,666 --> 00:14:54,866
yeah I think I'm gonna go na na na na na na before
331
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:01,966
because about like
332
00:15:02,933 --> 00:15:04,266
I don't know it just feels nice going
333
00:15:04,266 --> 00:15:06,099
but to the B flag twice there let's see
334
00:15:12,733 --> 00:15:16,066
yeah it's catchier we just get that little bit better
335
00:15:26,366 --> 00:15:28,299
take this down here drag it down
336
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,033
I just blend that make it
337
00:15:54,100 --> 00:15:55,266
gonna go and get my
338
00:15:55,266 --> 00:15:57,933
okay so maybe the same kind of rhythm
339
00:15:57,933 --> 00:16:00,299
but like one tiny little change
340
00:16:09,400 --> 00:16:12,866
stop uh low and then down to
341
00:16:25,100 --> 00:16:27,300
okay that's better just a little
342
00:16:37,700 --> 00:16:38,200
like okay so
343
00:16:38,200 --> 00:16:39,766
I'm not gonna figure out that lyric right now
344
00:16:39,766 --> 00:16:41,666
but I know I want that pocket and that rhythm
345
00:16:41,666 --> 00:16:43,399
because I haven't had that straight
346
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,700
it's very syncopated
347
00:16:45,866 --> 00:16:47,766
and I want something to balance it out
348
00:16:48,766 --> 00:16:52,099
so it's like 75% syncopated
349
00:16:52,100 --> 00:16:52,766
this B part
350
00:16:52,766 --> 00:16:54,166
and then you put them
351
00:16:54,733 --> 00:16:57,399
you give it a little bit of a straight notes
352
00:16:57,466 --> 00:16:58,399
like a dot dot
353
00:16:58,400 --> 00:16:59,733
dot 8th notes
354
00:16:59,733 --> 00:17:01,366
and then you're back at the hook again
355
00:17:01,366 --> 00:17:03,566
with the tag line rather
356
00:17:08,366 --> 00:17:12,333
I'm just gonna say like something random right now
357
00:17:12,333 --> 00:17:14,566
it's just like sounds like words but not really
358
00:17:26,766 --> 00:17:29,266
I understand leave me on and then
359
00:17:38,133 --> 00:17:40,166
come on why you gotta go that's cool
360
00:17:40,166 --> 00:17:42,166
the people would say that come on why you gotta go
361
00:17:42,166 --> 00:17:44,166
and get get my hopes up
362
00:17:55,533 --> 00:17:57,066
okay so you do this
363
00:17:57,100 --> 00:17:59,800
I feel like this would be on a
364
00:18:01,966 --> 00:18:03,999
like okay so I have these background
365
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:05,766
this background bus here I
366
00:18:05,766 --> 00:18:07,533
let's see what that said
367
00:18:07,533 --> 00:18:09,966
that come on sounds like as a response
368
00:18:09,966 --> 00:18:12,899
rather than actually on the lead vocal
369
00:18:12,900 --> 00:18:15,400
I think it'd be kind of a nice ear break
370
00:18:15,400 --> 00:18:19,066
so let's kind of take this up a little bit
371
00:18:20,900 --> 00:18:23,700
definitely need some tune on there we they
372
00:18:26,966 --> 00:18:30,033
let's put it on every first section of the channel
373
00:18:33,500 --> 00:18:34,933
is have a bit of fun with it
374
00:18:34,933 --> 00:18:39,233
take a Valhalla and you know Max does this alone
375
00:18:43,266 --> 00:18:44,399
size down
376
00:18:47,066 --> 00:18:47,866
come on
377
00:18:52,866 --> 00:18:54,666
sucks uh
378
00:18:58,533 --> 00:19:00,166
and we're just gonna stack that right now
379
00:19:00,166 --> 00:19:01,199
and have it like
380
00:19:01,466 --> 00:19:02,166
not on the lead
381
00:19:02,166 --> 00:19:04,099
but in the background as like kind of a response
382
00:19:04,100 --> 00:19:05,766
come on it's like you're having
383
00:19:05,766 --> 00:19:08,566
like a conversation with one voice
384
00:19:11,566 --> 00:19:14,066
I'll back the tune off that a little bit
385
00:19:17,566 --> 00:19:18,366
no
386
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,566
so this is what I usually do
387
00:19:23,566 --> 00:19:26,166
on a set of four background vocals
388
00:19:26,166 --> 00:19:27,566
I have the come on
389
00:19:27,566 --> 00:19:29,699
the very frontal nasally kind of thing
390
00:19:29,733 --> 00:19:32,533
um and then Baby Face always told me to do this
391
00:19:32,533 --> 00:19:36,299
to layer it with like a barely audible whisper
392
00:19:36,300 --> 00:19:39,933
and then a slightly more naughty whisper
393
00:19:39,933 --> 00:19:42,466
so we'll do the slightly more naughty whisper that'll
394
00:19:42,466 --> 00:19:43,799
this is what this is right here
395
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:45,800
so instead of come on
396
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,800
you do come come on
397
00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:48,800
I guess it's falsetto
398
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:50,966
would be an easy way to say just layer it in
399
00:19:50,966 --> 00:19:54,899
but like morphing your voice to make it just sound like
400
00:19:55,300 --> 00:19:56,800
to support the other vocal
401
00:20:09,666 --> 00:20:12,266
I gotta go and get my oh that sounds kind of nice
402
00:20:12,266 --> 00:20:13,299
okay and one more
403
00:20:17,700 --> 00:20:18,500
come on
404
00:20:21,800 --> 00:20:24,866
why you gotta go and get come on why
405
00:20:25,966 --> 00:20:27,399
might not even need the little whisper
406
00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:29,233
we'll do it anyway since I said it
407
00:20:30,166 --> 00:20:32,766
come on just that come on
408
00:20:38,333 --> 00:20:40,033
cause it sounds like a crowd
409
00:20:47,266 --> 00:20:49,866
um maybe on those whispers
410
00:20:50,733 --> 00:20:55,766
just take a simple EQ or 1 band just do a high pass
411
00:20:59,100 --> 00:21:00,233
super airy
412
00:21:02,066 --> 00:21:04,033
sorry I know that metronome is annoying
413
00:21:08,266 --> 00:21:10,399
group them together and kind of
414
00:21:10,933 --> 00:21:12,799
turn it down and blend them in
415
00:21:15,066 --> 00:21:18,399
this is without it this is with it
416
00:21:20,200 --> 00:21:23,100
add something which is pretty cool
417
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:32,900
for fun let's stack that
418
00:21:32,900 --> 00:21:33,566
why are you gonna go
419
00:21:33,566 --> 00:21:34,199
get my hopes up
420
00:21:34,200 --> 00:21:35,200
I'm gonna and by the way
421
00:21:35,200 --> 00:21:36,400
I'm gonna re sing all of this
422
00:21:36,400 --> 00:21:37,700
but it's just so fun again
423
00:21:37,700 --> 00:21:39,800
to have a demo vocal that sounds
424
00:21:40,466 --> 00:21:42,699
like almost done even though it's not
425
00:21:44,066 --> 00:21:45,399
okay let's see him
426
00:21:53,933 --> 00:21:54,933
cause then I kind of have like
427
00:21:54,933 --> 00:21:56,699
an outline of how I'm really gonna record it
428
00:21:56,700 --> 00:21:58,466
like I'll know that I'm gonna stack
429
00:21:58,533 --> 00:22:00,566
why I gotta go and get my hopes up
430
00:22:00,566 --> 00:22:03,799
and maybe leave this next part as a solo vocal
431
00:22:06,366 --> 00:22:08,466
get my hopes up and then nope
432
00:22:20,900 --> 00:22:22,433
why you gotta go and get my
433
00:22:23,666 --> 00:22:25,299
why you gotta go and get my
434
00:22:29,100 --> 00:22:30,933
my upset okay
435
00:22:30,933 --> 00:22:35,299
one more why you gotta go and get my upset and
436
00:22:37,566 --> 00:22:39,066
maybe one more whisper too
437
00:22:39,966 --> 00:22:41,566
why you gotta come and give up
438
00:22:46,100 --> 00:22:48,633
by the way I do this to hear myself a little bit better
439
00:22:49,666 --> 00:22:51,166
sometimes I'll even go off pitch
440
00:22:51,166 --> 00:22:53,066
if I am too much in headphone world
441
00:22:53,066 --> 00:22:54,766
so I can still feel like the
442
00:22:54,866 --> 00:22:57,466
the resonance in my voice by just letting one ear loose
443
00:23:06,533 --> 00:23:07,333
and
444
00:23:09,733 --> 00:23:11,699
if I were recording a real vocal
445
00:23:11,700 --> 00:23:14,866
I would then vocal line everything
446
00:23:14,866 --> 00:23:16,099
and make everything super tight
447
00:23:16,100 --> 00:23:17,833
but we don't need to do that right now
448
00:23:21,600 --> 00:23:23,766
I may be going back on my idea
449
00:23:23,766 --> 00:23:24,999
that everything has to be super tune
450
00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,233
it kind of sounds better
451
00:23:29,100 --> 00:23:31,100
I like that better that's better
452
00:23:43,166 --> 00:23:45,999
that's kind of hard on let's put this on a
453
00:23:47,666 --> 00:23:48,466
let's
454
00:23:49,933 --> 00:23:50,999
let's do this
455
00:23:53,366 --> 00:23:54,333
I'm gonna go
456
00:23:54,333 --> 00:23:56,566
let's drag these down here just
457
00:23:56,600 --> 00:23:59,933
I love separation and love being able to like
458
00:23:59,933 --> 00:24:01,799
change something independently
459
00:24:02,166 --> 00:24:05,299
so we're just gonna do this this
460
00:24:05,500 --> 00:24:08,166
hmm hmm hmm
461
00:24:09,866 --> 00:24:12,666
hmm hmm hmm okay
462
00:24:17,366 --> 00:24:19,899
cause I don't want as much reverb on these right here
463
00:24:22,466 --> 00:24:24,566
so I'll just use the proper reverb
464
00:24:41,966 --> 00:24:43,399
now I can take these here
465
00:24:43,400 --> 00:24:46,400
and drag them back to where they once were
466
00:24:50,333 --> 00:24:52,733
okay so now we're at the second half of the course
467
00:24:52,733 --> 00:24:55,866
um I want a different rhyme scheme
468
00:24:56,133 --> 00:24:58,133
because every time I do a course
469
00:24:58,133 --> 00:25:00,933
I think it should sound like a roller coaster
470
00:25:00,933 --> 00:25:02,866
like when I used to go to six flags
471
00:25:02,866 --> 00:25:04,766
like I would want to just ride the roller coaster
472
00:25:04,766 --> 00:25:05,566
over and over again
473
00:25:05,566 --> 00:25:07,699
because there was just something to look forward to
474
00:25:07,700 --> 00:25:09,666
you want the listener to have something to
475
00:25:09,666 --> 00:25:10,599
look forward to
476
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:14,266
so if you have the same rhyming scheme
477
00:25:14,266 --> 00:25:15,799
is just gonna kind of be monotonous
478
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:17,500
and maybe they won't play the song again
479
00:25:17,500 --> 00:25:19,466
you want them to play it as much as possible
480
00:25:19,566 --> 00:25:21,899
especially in today's streaming environment
481
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:36,699
so my last rhyme was make me think you did
482
00:25:39,700 --> 00:25:45,300
I'm also kind of thinking like what could you say
483
00:25:45,300 --> 00:25:48,066
you don't want to make it complete babble
484
00:25:48,066 --> 00:25:51,066
but hint at some words thank
485
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:11,900
okay so you go why don't you go like
486
00:26:20,333 --> 00:26:21,133
yeah
487
00:26:22,566 --> 00:26:24,066
I gotta feel a little yeah
488
00:26:29,933 --> 00:26:32,399
nice drag that little yacht in there
489
00:26:42,200 --> 00:26:43,566
is the fear oh yeah
490
00:26:43,566 --> 00:26:45,066
you could say something like
491
00:26:45,066 --> 00:26:46,533
why you gotta go and get my hopes up
492
00:26:46,533 --> 00:26:48,366
and make it seem like you're always gonna be here
493
00:26:48,366 --> 00:26:50,499
and then one day just go up and disappear
494
00:26:50,500 --> 00:26:51,533
something like that
495
00:26:51,533 --> 00:26:52,599
I don't know if that's like
496
00:26:52,600 --> 00:26:54,100
cash would be able to like
497
00:26:54,100 --> 00:26:54,866
help me kind of like
498
00:26:54,866 --> 00:26:55,466
bring it home
499
00:26:55,466 --> 00:26:57,199
but like the idea is there
500
00:26:57,200 --> 00:26:58,333
cause that's what someone would do
501
00:26:58,333 --> 00:26:59,266
like in a relationship
502
00:26:59,266 --> 00:27:01,799
like I'm sure you were some
503
00:27:01,800 --> 00:27:03,166
I've definitely gone through like you know
504
00:27:03,166 --> 00:27:05,299
I've been really excited um
505
00:27:05,300 --> 00:27:06,733
about like being with somebody
506
00:27:06,733 --> 00:27:09,166
and maybe she has eyes on somebody else and completely
507
00:27:09,166 --> 00:27:10,399
you know doesn't know how to tell me
508
00:27:10,400 --> 00:27:11,800
so trying to just like you know
509
00:27:11,800 --> 00:27:12,933
what's the term ghost
510
00:27:12,933 --> 00:27:13,499
get ghosted
511
00:27:13,500 --> 00:27:15,200
that's happened to me before um
512
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:16,133
and I get my hopes up
513
00:27:16,133 --> 00:27:16,866
I was looking for
514
00:27:16,866 --> 00:27:18,066
I was planning out dinners
515
00:27:18,066 --> 00:27:18,999
I was uh you know
516
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:20,500
thinking about what I was gonna wear
517
00:27:20,500 --> 00:27:21,466
what I was gonna smell like
518
00:27:21,466 --> 00:27:21,899
or something
519
00:27:21,900 --> 00:27:22,333
I don't know
520
00:27:22,333 --> 00:27:23,199
it's real like
521
00:27:23,200 --> 00:27:25,000
everything that you put into your art
522
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:26,766
should be 100% real
523
00:27:26,766 --> 00:27:28,266
um it should be the truth
524
00:27:28,266 --> 00:27:31,166
because even if somebody listens to this
525
00:27:31,166 --> 00:27:31,699
and they're like oh
526
00:27:31,700 --> 00:27:32,400
I don't like this
527
00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,300
this sounds like a typical Charlie song
528
00:27:34,300 --> 00:27:37,066
it's like they can have that opinion
529
00:27:37,066 --> 00:27:39,033
but they can't deny that it's not the truth
530
00:27:39,933 --> 00:27:43,133
and I've written songs that maybe weren't the truth
531
00:27:43,133 --> 00:27:44,733
and those didn't resonate at all with people
532
00:27:44,733 --> 00:27:45,766
because people are smart
533
00:27:45,766 --> 00:27:47,999
they can tell what is truthful
534
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:48,766
and what is not
535
00:27:48,766 --> 00:27:49,599
and this is the truth
536
00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:51,166
I felt this emotion before
537
00:27:51,166 --> 00:27:52,699
maybe you have as well
538
00:27:52,900 --> 00:27:55,466
maybe you want to look forward to feeling this emotion
539
00:27:55,466 --> 00:27:56,399
in some sick way
540
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:57,300
I don't know
541
00:27:57,566 --> 00:27:59,033
but it's art it's fun
542
00:28:14,666 --> 00:28:15,466
okay I'll just like
543
00:28:15,466 --> 00:28:17,433
say some babble and then figure it out later
544
00:28:35,566 --> 00:28:38,699
disappear I wanna end on disappear
545
00:29:03,800 --> 00:29:05,800
and that's when you do the little melody change
546
00:29:11,166 --> 00:29:11,966
and then
547
00:29:17,800 --> 00:29:19,733
I would say one day you just disappear
548
00:29:19,733 --> 00:29:20,333
but it doesn't like
549
00:29:20,333 --> 00:29:22,366
fall off the tongue really super nice
550
00:29:22,366 --> 00:29:24,966
and one day you just disappear like
551
00:29:25,100 --> 00:29:27,500
you wanted to be as easy to sing along to as possible
552
00:29:27,500 --> 00:29:29,300
that's why I'm okay with babble for now
553
00:29:38,866 --> 00:29:39,999
and then one day you disappear
554
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:41,600
not perfect but good for now
555
00:29:45,566 --> 00:29:47,866
and then you go and then you go and disappear
556
00:29:50,600 --> 00:29:52,433
disappear oh that's nice
557
00:29:55,300 --> 00:29:57,366
disappear okay
558
00:29:57,366 --> 00:30:00,066
so one the but I don't want to say go because I say
559
00:30:00,066 --> 00:30:01,266
why I gotta go and get my hopes up
560
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:02,099
just too many goes
561
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:03,600
so then you go
562
00:30:05,566 --> 00:30:06,866
so you just kind of jumbling your mind
563
00:30:06,866 --> 00:30:08,266
like what else could be said that
564
00:30:12,400 --> 00:30:13,900
I say want it for now
565
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,466
okay sick let me see if that makes
566
00:30:25,466 --> 00:30:27,899
that's cohesive beginning of it
567
00:30:44,200 --> 00:30:46,700
I gotta sing it the same way that
568
00:30:46,700 --> 00:30:48,266
see how this sounds different than
569
00:30:48,766 --> 00:30:49,966
I gotta sing it like this
570
00:30:52,533 --> 00:30:53,333
some
571
00:31:16,566 --> 00:31:17,899
it's kind of dope actually
572
00:31:17,900 --> 00:31:19,166
but then you want to disappear
573
00:31:19,166 --> 00:31:20,566
could actually be a real lyric
574
00:31:26,966 --> 00:31:28,033
and how did I do the
575
00:31:34,166 --> 00:31:35,266
and that's gonna rhyme
576
00:31:35,266 --> 00:31:37,866
that's gonna mirror that exactly that rhyme scheme
577
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,200
so we have to figure out like another word that has
578
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,166
Nicole turn the door
579
00:32:02,333 --> 00:32:04,566
not this this is kind of cheesy but like it sounds good
580
00:32:04,566 --> 00:32:07,199
keep me up till the dawn come on
581
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:17,166
and then you do come on and then
582
00:32:17,166 --> 00:32:18,966
now we're starting to have a well rounded chorus
583
00:32:18,966 --> 00:32:21,499
let me just copy paste these couple elements here
584
00:32:23,700 --> 00:32:24,833
gotta sing that better
585
00:32:34,933 --> 00:32:37,266
actually hate that pair but it sounds good for now
586
00:32:44,100 --> 00:32:46,200
okay so paste the commands now
587
00:32:48,566 --> 00:32:52,466
good core should literally just mirror itself
588
00:32:59,500 --> 00:33:00,700
and what's really cool
589
00:33:10,533 --> 00:33:14,099
okay I guess this is the scratch course we have so far
590
00:33:17,966 --> 00:33:19,899
but let me play it going out of the verse chords
591
00:33:19,900 --> 00:33:21,500
because what makes it really distinct and cool
592
00:33:21,500 --> 00:33:23,166
is that the verse chords are different
593
00:33:24,500 --> 00:33:26,000
I'll turn the click off
594
00:33:59,600 --> 00:34:00,900
maybe a post course
595
00:34:07,566 --> 00:34:09,666
or be really boss going into okay
596
00:34:09,666 --> 00:34:11,499
so let's figure out before we figure out the form
597
00:34:11,500 --> 00:34:13,500
let's figure out what the verse melody is gonna be
598
00:34:38,133 --> 00:34:40,999
oh that's dope okay hold on hmm
599
00:34:42,333 --> 00:34:43,433
I'm thinking
600
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:45,866
as far as references
601
00:34:45,866 --> 00:34:48,066
I'm just I don't even know if I'm referencing a song
602
00:34:48,066 --> 00:34:49,166
but it's definitely
603
00:34:50,466 --> 00:34:52,499
like I feel like someone would listen to this
604
00:34:53,133 --> 00:34:54,733
in their room with like
605
00:34:54,733 --> 00:34:56,999
the big cell phone and like
606
00:34:57,000 --> 00:34:59,600
1992 or something like that
607
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:00,400
when we didn't have like
608
00:35:00,400 --> 00:35:01,600
so much social media
609
00:35:01,600 --> 00:35:02,766
like this is what we'll be playing
610
00:35:02,766 --> 00:35:03,499
in the background
611
00:35:03,500 --> 00:35:05,066
and you modernize it that way to give it that
612
00:35:05,066 --> 00:35:06,233
like classic feel
613
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:13,400
oh by the sometimes what I'll do is I'll take even more
614
00:35:13,400 --> 00:35:14,800
what kind of EQ job is this
615
00:35:14,800 --> 00:35:16,200
Jesus I'll take
616
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,333
oh my God I'll take some highs out of the click
617
00:35:19,333 --> 00:35:21,366
so the click doesn't bleed into the headphone
618
00:35:22,333 --> 00:35:25,966
just make it lower so um
619
00:35:26,933 --> 00:35:28,099
what else would you say
620
00:35:28,100 --> 00:35:29,066
why you gotta go him out
621
00:35:29,066 --> 00:35:30,399
I will you'd say like
622
00:35:30,400 --> 00:35:31,366
you set it up like
623
00:35:31,366 --> 00:35:33,333
lyrically again
624
00:35:33,333 --> 00:35:34,299
not being perfectly like
625
00:35:34,300 --> 00:35:35,000
you set it up like
626
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:37,733
what would a human say before they said
627
00:35:37,733 --> 00:35:39,133
why I gotta go and get my hopes up
628
00:35:39,133 --> 00:35:39,466
you would say
629
00:35:39,466 --> 00:35:41,366
it's almost like you're talking to that person
630
00:35:41,366 --> 00:35:42,266
and you would say
631
00:35:42,900 --> 00:35:44,500
I I was so I was so
632
00:35:44,500 --> 00:35:45,200
yeah you'd say
633
00:35:45,200 --> 00:35:46,600
I was so excited
634
00:35:46,600 --> 00:35:47,833
like I was so
635
00:35:48,200 --> 00:35:50,333
I was looking forward to
636
00:35:50,333 --> 00:35:51,333
to you know
637
00:35:51,333 --> 00:35:52,466
to doing something with you
638
00:35:52,466 --> 00:35:54,266
so you'd start off with like
639
00:36:00,133 --> 00:36:02,233
I was so how do you feel excited in there
640
00:36:10,700 --> 00:36:11,566
and me
641
00:36:12,933 --> 00:36:15,666
yeah like I was
642
00:36:28,100 --> 00:36:30,266
I didn't expect to feel so much pain
643
00:36:30,733 --> 00:36:32,799
I was so excited today to blah blah blah
644
00:36:32,800 --> 00:36:34,733
I never thought I'd be feeling this pain
645
00:36:34,733 --> 00:36:36,999
like I didn't expect to wake up like this
646
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:39,533
I went to bed last night thinking I was gonna have like
647
00:36:39,533 --> 00:36:40,666
the best time ever
648
00:36:42,166 --> 00:36:45,466
but you hit me with the you're gonna kill me text
649
00:36:46,600 --> 00:36:48,100
you don't want it to be like 2 on the nose
650
00:36:48,100 --> 00:36:49,600
because then it sounds corny but like
651
00:36:49,600 --> 00:36:51,666
just something easy someone would say
652
00:36:56,300 --> 00:36:59,566
yeah maybe not but I saw this
653
00:37:09,733 --> 00:37:10,699
they are
654
00:37:19,966 --> 00:37:20,866
you make me feel this pain
655
00:37:20,866 --> 00:37:22,533
then you suddenly just snap your fingers
656
00:37:22,533 --> 00:37:23,633
make it go away
657
00:37:34,933 --> 00:37:37,033
you know something oh sorry
658
00:37:43,766 --> 00:37:45,799
hey oh my soul is
659
00:37:51,300 --> 00:37:53,500
okay so you can go up so you go down
660
00:37:53,800 --> 00:37:55,266
and then the back half you go away
661
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:05,366
so I'm just like freestyling not
662
00:38:15,466 --> 00:38:16,666
hey nice I like that
663
00:38:25,933 --> 00:38:28,866
I think just keep going on that that little
664
00:38:39,900 --> 00:38:41,000
let's move out
665
00:38:41,700 --> 00:38:42,566
so on the third one
666
00:38:42,566 --> 00:38:43,899
you hit him with the a flat
667
00:38:44,300 --> 00:38:45,133
just like you
668
00:38:45,133 --> 00:38:47,299
just keeping the listener engaged the entire time with
669
00:38:47,300 --> 00:38:49,333
like keeping the same rhythm in the same form
670
00:38:49,333 --> 00:38:50,699
but just adding a little note there
671
00:38:50,700 --> 00:38:51,700
a little note there
672
00:38:52,966 --> 00:38:54,399
so on this one I'm gonna go
673
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:02,800
I never I never asked I never
674
00:39:09,100 --> 00:39:11,166
I I could have got I never asked you to say
675
00:39:11,166 --> 00:39:15,099
I could have gotten over you so easily if I weren't so
676
00:39:15,500 --> 00:39:19,266
you know and I I'm in too deep like the some 41 song
677
00:39:35,600 --> 00:39:37,300
uh I don't got
678
00:39:47,866 --> 00:39:49,566
easily easily
679
00:39:55,133 --> 00:39:57,733
and then it's really simple on the third fourth one
680
00:39:57,733 --> 00:39:59,999
you do the same thing so let's hear what we got so far
681
00:40:14,333 --> 00:40:17,366
I guess I got to look too easily
682
00:40:17,366 --> 00:40:22,966
guess I got so I guess I just got to I guess I got yes
683
00:40:23,200 --> 00:40:25,666
I guess I just got to hook easily
684
00:40:25,666 --> 00:40:26,899
not perfect but better
685
00:40:38,900 --> 00:40:41,100
that's good for now and then the fourth one
686
00:40:41,133 --> 00:40:42,299
guess I got to
687
00:40:57,133 --> 00:40:59,599
okay so if that's the end of the verse
688
00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:02,400
going of the chorus what do you say before
689
00:41:36,500 --> 00:41:38,066
I kind of like
690
00:41:38,066 --> 00:41:40,866
sing into it a little bit to get that breath in
691
00:41:41,966 --> 00:41:43,899
okay so now we have something
692
00:41:50,966 --> 00:41:51,833
look in there
693
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,200
I guess this would let me hear this on the speakers
694
00:42:15,466 --> 00:42:17,999
no sense but it's vibe you said
695
00:42:42,766 --> 00:42:43,966
okay so I feel like the verse
696
00:42:43,966 --> 00:42:44,866
should come in right there
697
00:42:44,866 --> 00:42:46,533
I don't think it needs to go to a pre chorus
698
00:42:46,533 --> 00:42:47,166
I want to keep it
699
00:42:47,166 --> 00:42:47,933
I want this to be like
700
00:42:47,933 --> 00:42:48,866
a short song
701
00:42:52,200 --> 00:42:54,766
so let's consolidate that
702
00:42:54,766 --> 00:42:57,399
let's consolidate that and I want the music to drop out
703
00:43:07,066 --> 00:43:09,266
and the second verse is gonna come in right there
704
00:43:09,266 --> 00:43:11,599
and I want the drums even though the drums aren't done
705
00:43:11,600 --> 00:43:12,933
we're not thinking about production right now
706
00:43:12,933 --> 00:43:15,133
we're just focusing on the songwriting aspect of things
707
00:43:15,133 --> 00:43:16,966
I want all the music to drop out
708
00:43:16,966 --> 00:43:18,299
and the verse to start right now
709
00:43:21,266 --> 00:43:22,133
and that's really convenient
710
00:43:22,133 --> 00:43:26,066
because the verse starts hopes up
711
00:43:27,600 --> 00:43:28,400
hopes up
712
00:43:33,566 --> 00:43:35,099
okay so
713
00:43:37,133 --> 00:43:38,333
copy and paste this
714
00:43:38,333 --> 00:43:40,066
this is the form of the verse right here
715
00:43:42,266 --> 00:43:43,766
but we have different chords
716
00:43:43,766 --> 00:43:44,999
so we're gonna copy and paste
717
00:43:45,000 --> 00:43:47,033
this little kick situation here
718
00:43:57,533 --> 00:43:58,333
hmm
719
00:43:59,933 --> 00:44:01,199
what if I still have that
720
00:44:04,533 --> 00:44:05,999
so when we go to the production later
721
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:07,500
I'm gonna get that same Juno sound
722
00:44:07,500 --> 00:44:10,000
and play the first chords in like a different way
723
00:44:10,333 --> 00:44:11,866
but let's do this
724
00:44:18,300 --> 00:44:21,466
give up give up so music cuts out
725
00:44:36,066 --> 00:44:37,499
just copy and pasting
726
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:40,066
not doing production but just copy and pasting again
727
00:44:50,300 --> 00:44:52,766
oh wait is that doper oh so
728
00:45:15,300 --> 00:45:18,400
okay so this happened in one Call Away
729
00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:19,600
my song one Call Away
730
00:45:19,600 --> 00:45:21,533
where we had a verse going into the chorus
731
00:45:21,533 --> 00:45:22,733
and it felt right there
732
00:45:22,733 --> 00:45:24,266
but when we got to the second verse
733
00:45:24,266 --> 00:45:25,199
it felt a little bit
734
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:27,133
too soon to have the chorus come in
735
00:45:27,133 --> 00:45:30,466
so I don't do it all the time in songs
736
00:45:30,466 --> 00:45:32,333
but just add a little
737
00:45:32,333 --> 00:45:33,633
just add four
738
00:45:34,666 --> 00:45:36,266
on the songwriting tip of things
739
00:45:36,733 --> 00:45:38,999
add four bars of the chorus
740
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:40,766
after this second verse ends
741
00:45:40,933 --> 00:45:41,366
we're gonna
742
00:45:41,366 --> 00:45:41,999
and we're gonna write a
743
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,833
new melody on top of that right now
744
00:45:48,700 --> 00:45:50,433
and I'm gonna take the drums out
745
00:45:50,566 --> 00:45:52,966
and write a new melody on top of that
746
00:46:12,600 --> 00:46:14,400
and that's where the second chorus comes in
747
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:16,733
and now it's like ah I wanted it again
748
00:46:16,733 --> 00:46:18,633
because if we didn't add those four bars
749
00:46:18,766 --> 00:46:20,199
the second chorus would be like
750
00:46:20,200 --> 00:46:24,000
I heard this five seconds ago but for whatever reason
751
00:46:24,566 --> 00:46:25,666
I could be wrong
752
00:46:25,666 --> 00:46:27,499
let me let's listen to verse 2
753
00:46:27,933 --> 00:46:29,799
first chorus going to the verse two
754
00:46:55,733 --> 00:46:58,099
that'll be that'll be less sustained and everything
755
00:46:58,100 --> 00:46:59,466
but just for the songwriting purpose
756
00:46:59,466 --> 00:47:00,566
we'll just keep it going
757
00:47:03,133 --> 00:47:04,466
doesn't have to sound perfect
758
00:47:13,766 --> 00:47:15,599
oh wait I told
759
00:47:17,366 --> 00:47:19,166
maybe could you do that melody there
760
00:47:34,666 --> 00:47:36,099
that actually could work really well
761
00:47:36,100 --> 00:47:38,300
because at this point as a listener
762
00:47:38,300 --> 00:47:40,366
you've heard that melody in the background
763
00:47:40,366 --> 00:47:44,299
but it'll all kind of connect when you hear it at once
764
00:47:44,300 --> 00:47:46,900
or maybe it sucks but let's see let's let's try it
765
00:48:24,533 --> 00:48:27,899
oh okay so do this right here this little stack
766
00:48:45,466 --> 00:48:48,099
them but I don't know something
767
00:49:07,900 --> 00:49:10,200
not perfect like lyricism
768
00:49:10,200 --> 00:49:12,766
but get the point of what the melody
769
00:49:12,766 --> 00:49:15,133
the shape of everything we're constructing at this
770
00:49:15,133 --> 00:49:17,299
let me hear what this sounds like on the speaker
771
00:49:43,866 --> 00:49:45,499
I'm into the second course now
772
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:51,933
and then unlike the first course and the second course
773
00:49:51,933 --> 00:49:53,366
the drums coming right away
774
00:50:13,500 --> 00:50:14,700
I gotta go and get my
775
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:21,500
I'm such a maybe I'm all I got
776
00:50:23,733 --> 00:50:26,166
okay so this is like a bridge now
777
00:50:38,866 --> 00:50:40,066
hold on so I'm sorry
778
00:50:43,700 --> 00:50:44,900
copy and paste this
779
00:50:44,900 --> 00:50:47,233
we're building the form of the song right now
780
00:50:59,166 --> 00:51:00,799
and what I've been doing lately is like
781
00:51:00,800 --> 00:51:02,100
songs are shorter right now
782
00:51:02,100 --> 00:51:04,466
and I'm kind of embracing that um
783
00:51:06,133 --> 00:51:09,633
no third course really necessary right now
784
00:51:10,966 --> 00:51:12,566
get this be out here
785
00:51:12,566 --> 00:51:14,899
so this is the outro chorus we're building right now
786
00:51:17,066 --> 00:51:19,799
take all the you know just mute the drums
787
00:51:20,100 --> 00:51:22,500
signifying that's just going to be the down section
788
00:51:33,733 --> 00:51:35,299
and it ends right there maybe
789
00:51:38,733 --> 00:51:39,899
and no chord under there
790
00:51:39,900 --> 00:51:41,800
just gonna go and get my hopes up
791
00:51:46,266 --> 00:51:49,899
that ends at 2:18 it's like I wanted to be a short song
792
00:51:53,566 --> 00:51:54,366
that might change
793
00:51:54,366 --> 00:51:55,899
I might you know
794
00:51:55,900 --> 00:51:57,866
wake up the next day and do the next lesson be like
795
00:51:57,866 --> 00:52:00,166
oh wait there's a whole different thing we can do
796
00:52:00,166 --> 00:52:01,999
but right now I wanted to be a short song
797
00:52:02,300 --> 00:52:03,400
let's go with the flow
798
00:52:03,500 --> 00:52:05,033
this is everything so far
799
00:52:10,666 --> 00:52:12,999
that's my hair up you make the
800
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:22,000
easily guess I got to hook way too easily
801
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:23,600
you said you stay
802
00:52:47,933 --> 00:52:49,266
oh wait hold on let me just
803
00:52:49,266 --> 00:52:52,899
I ain't gonna go and get my hopes and get my or wait
804
00:52:52,900 --> 00:52:56,166
maybe that's dope I ain't gonna go and get my oh so
805
00:52:58,866 --> 00:53:00,599
and right there the base is gonna be like rock
806
00:53:00,600 --> 00:53:01,366
and it's not gonna be as
807
00:53:01,366 --> 00:53:02,999
like it's gonna
808
00:53:07,100 --> 00:53:10,500
go away but just pedal on the d flat the doo doo doo
809
00:53:10,500 --> 00:53:12,000
guess I got to hook
810
00:53:34,666 --> 00:53:35,699
isn't enough
811
00:53:35,700 --> 00:53:37,466
I feel like there's something more special
812
00:53:37,466 --> 00:53:38,566
that could go there
813
00:53:51,700 --> 00:53:52,466
I feel like some
814
00:53:52,466 --> 00:53:54,399
we haven't had a section that has like
815
00:53:54,400 --> 00:53:55,800
long elongated notes
816
00:53:55,800 --> 00:53:57,000
so maybe um
817
00:53:57,400 --> 00:53:58,466
I feel like that would be fun
818
00:53:58,566 --> 00:53:59,599
like I've been in
819
00:54:00,600 --> 00:54:03,066
you know I perform for crowds and as much as
820
00:54:03,066 --> 00:54:04,299
like 15,000 people
821
00:54:04,300 --> 00:54:05,866
and I love it when people sing along to
822
00:54:05,866 --> 00:54:06,666
like long notes
823
00:54:06,666 --> 00:54:09,666
and sometimes my stuff gets a little complicated
824
00:54:09,666 --> 00:54:11,599
so it's nice to break it out with some like
825
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:21,600
let's put the metronome back on
826
00:54:42,800 --> 00:54:44,033
that'd be crazy
827
00:54:45,400 --> 00:54:46,800
let's do this here
828
00:54:56,366 --> 00:54:57,433
let me nail that line
829
00:55:01,733 --> 00:55:04,199
no but like I want no
830
00:55:05,933 --> 00:55:08,399
oh no what a girl no
831
00:55:11,000 --> 00:55:14,266
uh I don't know where to go
832
00:55:14,533 --> 00:55:15,533
let me just hmm
833
00:55:15,533 --> 00:55:16,466
let me back it up here
834
00:55:16,466 --> 00:55:17,399
just wanted to be
835
00:55:18,133 --> 00:55:20,366
I don't know where to go
836
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:23,100
I gotta go and get my hopes up
837
00:55:23,333 --> 00:55:24,499
something like that
838
00:55:25,400 --> 00:55:27,266
know where to go
839
00:55:29,200 --> 00:55:31,766
dragons back a little bit make it in pocket
840
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,433
I don't know where to go
841
00:55:47,666 --> 00:55:48,366
now you can like
842
00:55:48,366 --> 00:55:48,866
for the bridge
843
00:55:48,866 --> 00:55:49,666
you can just like
844
00:55:49,666 --> 00:55:52,299
stupidly sing along with the little melody
845
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:54,766
that's been playing the entire time in the song
846
00:56:05,600 --> 00:56:07,366
that's kind of hard one second
847
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:09,266
let me duplicate this track
848
00:56:09,300 --> 00:56:11,166
because I want them to kind of overlap
849
00:56:11,733 --> 00:56:12,899
this is the bridge
850
00:56:25,700 --> 00:56:27,666
ah ah what did I do
851
00:56:36,466 --> 00:56:37,966
there you go hmm simple
852
00:56:42,533 --> 00:56:44,466
going the shorter land LA LA LA
853
00:56:49,933 --> 00:56:51,999
oh it all falls into each other
854
00:57:03,666 --> 00:57:05,466
and just for fun do a harmony on that
855
00:57:24,966 --> 00:57:26,666
and I just duplicate that again
856
00:57:26,666 --> 00:57:29,066
so I don't really want to just keep it moving
857
00:57:29,066 --> 00:57:30,733
I could easily make another aux for that
858
00:57:30,733 --> 00:57:32,733
but just just one just to hear the harmony
859
00:57:32,733 --> 00:57:33,799
it's just for reference
860
00:57:39,533 --> 00:57:42,066
LA LA LA oh okay
861
00:58:12,200 --> 00:58:15,033
okay let me do this right here copy paste
862
00:58:18,600 --> 00:58:20,800
okay let's listen to all of this form
863
00:58:20,800 --> 00:58:21,800
let's clean this up here
864
00:58:21,800 --> 00:58:24,066
we don't need this extra stuff at the end here
865
00:58:24,133 --> 00:58:26,266
um let's label all of our stuff
866
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:32,866
I call this pre
867
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:37,366
after those four bars we have Chorus two
868
00:58:42,966 --> 00:58:46,433
this is like the sing song Lullaby Bridge
869
00:58:48,466 --> 00:58:49,266
I probably like
870
00:58:49,266 --> 00:58:51,433
stack this vocal and do all my usual
871
00:58:51,566 --> 00:58:53,599
Charlie harmonies and stuff like that
872
00:58:57,600 --> 00:59:02,233
and this is gonna be the out chorus for now and
873
00:59:04,300 --> 00:59:07,966
I always just Mark end where the delay runs out
874
00:59:07,966 --> 00:59:09,599
so the bus sounds
875
00:59:09,600 --> 00:59:10,133
you know what
876
00:59:10,133 --> 00:59:13,699
the bounce rather sounds good it's 2:20
877
00:59:15,266 --> 00:59:18,199
2:10 short ass song might add something to it
878
00:59:18,200 --> 00:59:20,466
but for right now it's good let's listen to what we got
879
01:00:28,200 --> 01:00:30,300
this is my pre a long time
880
01:01:26,866 --> 01:01:28,299
I mean that's aggressively short
881
01:01:28,300 --> 01:01:28,966
that's like short
882
01:01:28,966 --> 01:01:29,999
like a hip hop song
883
01:01:30,000 --> 01:01:30,900
it could work
884
01:01:31,266 --> 01:01:33,366
but I'll probably later in life
885
01:01:33,366 --> 01:01:34,566
maybe add something
886
01:01:34,566 --> 01:01:36,299
another section to it maybe
887
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:37,333
I don't know
888
01:01:37,333 --> 01:01:38,699
I love it when the um
889
01:01:39,300 --> 01:01:41,333
the first verse goes right into the course
890
01:01:41,333 --> 01:01:41,866
the first course
891
01:01:41,866 --> 01:01:42,699
I think it's like really
892
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:43,766
really special
893
01:01:43,766 --> 01:01:44,933
so I don't know
894
01:01:44,933 --> 01:01:46,699
but that's my scratch right now
895
01:01:46,700 --> 01:01:49,000
and then I would not spend I
896
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:50,900
I wouldn't go crazy on the sounds right now
897
01:01:50,900 --> 01:01:52,533
I go to a friend's house
898
01:01:52,533 --> 01:01:53,533
go to you know
899
01:01:53,533 --> 01:01:54,933
eat some food or something
900
01:01:54,933 --> 01:01:56,299
hang out with some people
901
01:01:56,300 --> 01:01:58,100
um safely of course
902
01:01:58,333 --> 01:02:00,499
and then have that bounce in my car
903
01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:01,866
and just play it a bunch of times
904
01:02:01,866 --> 01:02:03,299
and then when I'm not
905
01:02:03,300 --> 01:02:03,733
when I'm like
906
01:02:03,733 --> 01:02:06,133
all relaxed and not in the studio thinking about it
907
01:02:06,133 --> 01:02:07,066
I'll probably come up with like
908
01:02:07,066 --> 01:02:09,266
a better idea or an improvement
909
01:02:09,366 --> 01:02:09,966
um you know
910
01:02:09,966 --> 01:02:10,933
Rome wasn't built in the day
911
01:02:10,933 --> 01:02:12,699
so you just get a little bit of it done
912
01:02:12,700 --> 01:02:14,566
and just get excited about the possibilities
913
01:02:14,566 --> 01:02:15,999
so that's my scratch track
914
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,133
now it is your turn to do the same thing
915
01:02:18,133 --> 01:02:19,099
uh again don't
916
01:02:19,100 --> 01:02:20,933
no need to fill in all the lyrics right away
917
01:02:20,933 --> 01:02:22,266
just get the uh
918
01:02:22,333 --> 01:02:24,133
just get the skeleton of the song
919
01:02:24,133 --> 01:02:25,233
just like I did
920
01:02:25,266 --> 01:02:27,466
and come back for the next lesson
921
01:02:27,466 --> 01:02:28,566
and we'll add to it
61010
