The Young Punx producer masterclass from Computer Music Mag

[Ianmundo]

this is mega, fascinating insight into production

[lisa1234z]

Wow! Thanks for doing this. I learned a lot.

[robfisher1]

this was a great video, lots of info and ideas. gets you thinking

[beatsone]

very good tutorial

[disciple21781]

If i buss 3 snare tracks they end up not hitting the same, why?

[mattyscoll]

Good vid. Thanks!

[poopyscoopy5]

14:31 lol wtf

[daveus111]

Man how do you come up with the ideas of doing all those tiny changes, layering, sampling, crushing, filthering... with 12 trompets an 20 bloody strings... and so on... truly disco-sound need's this i guess. For my taste less is more but thats your production style i guess. Good video great idea's... thank you...

[nathan87]

nice vid, loving the emphasis on live recording! would add that it's not just mistakes which cause problems for string samples. Part of the problem is that the variable vibration of the strings themselves, which will vary depending on bow angle, speed and pressure - the 'constant' nature of traditional samples can't really compete. Even simple, common things such as string or bow changes will sound wrong, let alone less straightforward techniques.

[nathan87]

Nice vid, loving the emphasis on live recording. String samples are virtually never good enough - can always tell when strings are faked (especially as a string player...). The very 'constant' sound of sampled strings cannot replicate the large variation in vibration modes produced even for simple, common things such as bow or string changes, let alone account for different bowing techniques. sampled pizz is better, but you can still often pick up on it.

[lunchboxron]

great vid loads of info done in enjoyable way top man ......

[uptightkid]

Nice vid. How do you achieve the 'squelchy' sound on the Aurturia moog? Was it 'played in' with the mod and pitch wheel or did you tweak the midi note properties.

[PeteMoore]

Hal says : "The moog is basically played in live with nothing fancy. Moogs auto squelch! It may be the portamento that is making the squelch you refer to? Just set it to a nice length where you can hear the pitch slide, but not so slowly you lose the note.

[csati]

BEST TUTOR EVA! :)

[akarc24]

why does the kickdrum drown out the rest of the music? is it some sort of a system overload? is it something that only happens with software because i doubt it would happen on a workstation like yamaha motif or something

[cartesiaLive]

it's nothing to do with whether it's software or not,

it's probably just because they recorded the video's audio via shitty microphone, rather than direct line.

[DannyCogari]

it's an effect. google 'side chain compression'

[Ninehunid415]

thats called a kick sidechain

[skatechatham]

camcorder microphone ducking the highs

[LzI]

This really made me want to make this kind of music, and it really made me want logic even more :/ It's to bad it's only on Mac :(

[KalokoTube]

whats the name of this reverb petee??

[PeteMoore]

I think the answer is Logic's own "Space Designer" convolution reverb set to the "Old Vintage Reverb" preset in the Vintage Reverbs Bank. The "Vintage Gear Hall" setting is a good retro verb too.

[johnaiton]

This lesson s incredibly helpful. I've spent the last 5 years writing and producing rock/pop and it's an entirely different field to making dance music.

Thanks for taking the time to help people out, much appreciated.

ps. Guthrie is the bomb lol.

[EdynWardenhari]

Thanks you so much for this video! I have learned so much usefull things, thanks alot!

[Sharazapam]

How does your CPU cope with all the effects?

[PeteMoore]

Hal replies : It never seems to have any problems. The computer is a quad core 4x 2.5Ghz with 2GB ram , but 3 or 4 years old. Never had any problems with the big software plugin strips. Need a new computer soon to go intel, but not because this one isn't working..

[Sharazapam]

Lucky you ;-)

[cribbiesteve]

Very cool, you seriously understand compression and all it can do. Your aproach to finding room in the sonic pallete for all the different elements is great. Never had much use for side chains previously. Very respectable approach to "new music", that no old pro's can critisize.

I started mixing down through an old desk(8 stems) with analog FX to loose some more of that digital feel. Might work great for what you are doing. Using a 1/2 inch machine to capture that mix doesn't hurt either.

[LALLZ]

Anyone know what make of printer that is?

[chappy0000]

Hal Ritson = Cool, talented and very nice fella.

[wiseGUY1288]

i wish i could produce music like this i wouldnt know where to begin tho

[madziontist]

PRIVATE STUDIO OR PUBLIC?

[PeteMoore]

Private...

[DJChrisMack]

Where can i get this track!?

[PeteMoore]

Which track are you after?

[DJChrisMack]

Dont worry mate i got it from beat port. i was thinking of the hideaway one.

cheers!

[LzI]

YOu can get it from almost everywhere, just search for it.

[marksun]

Great video thanks

[smash4686]

Just goes to show that production techniques are equally as important as writing the music. I use the over compression technique. Put a bassline and a kick on a soft knee compressor then turn the release down. Pumping bass great for club tunes but I don't do it as much now.

[onlydlonly420]

thanks so much for this

[froodgoose]

anyone interested in music production should watch this!

[harryy179]

this is sick

very helpful

ive just started making beats using cubase

check out my tracks, and tips would be appriciate safe

[acidbass808]

Thank you so much for talking in detail about how you layer the tracks. Really educational!!

Your toons are fat too.

[greg0716]

why do you need a rhodes when logic has so many that sound so good if not better?

[PeteMoore]

Hal replies "There are no plugins that really capture the sound, feel and creativity of a good live rhodes. Both sample based and modeling based rhodes plugins are OK for simple parts, but just like nothing on logic can fully replace a live guitar, there is nothing like the real deal for rhodes."

[Vandalgrease]

Great video for me guys!!!!

I did an HND in music production at Perth college which was mostly aimed at rock/pop music whereas this is exacty the kind of stuff i work on in my studio...

Thanks a lot!!!

[rekage11]

met this guy a while ago in jersey.safe dude

[dectronica]

such skills man respect im only 19 but wish to learn your techniques and incorperate it in my dubstep

[BASSLINESSSS]

whats the name of the dnb track at 33:40 ?

[PeteMoore]

"Drum and Bacharach" by The Young Punx

[BASSLINESSSS]

cheers

[davori6te]

name of the track please!!!:)

[PeteMoore]

The 2 tracks featured are "It doesn't stop" by The Young Punx and The Young Punx remix of Hideaway by De'Lacey.

[topazuk]

cheers pete, very inspirational insight into logic vintage/ modern production.

nice one -)

[Lazune]

10 out of 10. Soooo good to see that dance music producers do "go in" still. :-)

[SaySimonSaid]

love the fact there is a printer in sitting predominately right in the prime position of a working recording studio.

[ninis74321]

WOW, i would love to do that!! I really want tooooooo! Thanks for the video!

[1xpro]

are the brass sounds live brass or a vst-öinstrument of logic?

and what about rest of the sounds?

thanks really nice video!

but i really to know what is the different between logic and pro tools, what do u prifer to use?

THANKS

[jacknesky]

logic is outstanding for writing music start to finish. protools is mainly just for post production

[cnote0187]

What type of compression do you use for the side chain?

I tried but it didnt work.

By any chance can u make a video on just that topic!

Thanks,

Super N.E.S.

[djkazazza]

is quite easy. create a copy of the kick in a different channel. mute it, now you need a compressor in the channel you want to side chain, in the compressor there is an option for side chain, send the sidechain to the muted kick track. and you should have it/

[djrjofficial]

This was an excellent video! Really gave me alot of info for my future music production career! Nice job!

[hwy9nightkid]

at 13:30 he says the sound is due to side chain compression? how is that done?

[junevortex]

its nice to see good music production.good inspiration

[antsoner]

clever stuff also inspiring! great upload

[KevWillow7]

fuckinell!

Young Punx are fuckin genius' fair play to yaz!

sounds so good this!

great video!!

[leodabatc]

Ive got that exact production desk thing!

I bet I payed a fuck of a lot less for it than him too! Har har!

[eArtrash]

do you know if the fuzzwah(*?) is a vst for multi programs or is it just for logic?? cant find it anywhere.

[PeteMoore]

Fuzzwah is just a logic plug in

[eArtrash]

thanks for uploading this! Iv actually had the DVD but lost it! what great producers young punx are!
