Making the Beat: Lady Gaga - Poker Face

[roboguy1215]

You sound so much less happy in these old videos compared to the newer ones :(

[FMGProductions100]

You should maybe post what BPM each song is. Very cool channel!

[lolmayonnaise]

wow that is a low pitched "hi"

[DrBrownWizard]

Lady Gaga's record label is Propellerhead

[Numlocq]

You are a ducking genius man

[beninsky12]

God when I hear all these cheesy synth that I never use when I find them I know why I hate so much this horrible dance music made by lady gaga

[ImperialLobster]

@beninsky12 gaga is a scary freak bitch. long live proper electronic music!

[TurkishMusicianPr]

@ImperialLobster she is electronic ??? Fuck you loser !

[ImperialLobster]

@TurkishMusicianPr well shes still a fucking freak.

[TurkishMusicianPr]

@ImperialLobster For All high school kids . Right

[mrsupernick2000]

That is imposible

[Alex10Ani]

[furvert101]

@Alex10Ani erm, reason...

[WWY2K]

@Alex10Ani The program is called Reason. It is made by the company Propellorhead

[TheSnicka]

please make Eminem´s Music Box please!! thank you

[lukaspt23]

MAKE KATY PERRY!!! ET!!!

[blaindugan]

its not what program you use its how you use it

It comes down to personal preference and you wont know until you have experimented with various daw's

[t335]

Thanks for the great lesson!

[TheGioification]

00:03 I heard him say "Punk Face" by Lady Gaga

[Shemassault]

that square synth/lead should be done with AM filter in Maelstroom + EQ

[nelmops]

Omg this is so awesome!! What program did you use?

[MikeyyBoy94]

@nelmops Reason 4... but Reason 5 is what is used now and is alot easier to manage :)

[SpanienHustler]

which programm did you use ?

[Cataclysmacist]

You sound depressed in this one. haha

[CharlesBrayden]

awesome!

[RaggaTasty]

Awesome Tutorial!!! I really appreciate your work. I am a Reason newbie and like how you explain how to make each sound. FIVE STARS!!! I was wondering if you can show a tutorial on how to make the sound for the song ROLL IT GAL. I am not sure what that sound is and how to reproduce it. Can you help? Thanks. ROCK ON ON!!!

[ThizzNickMuzik]

NICE!!

Hey can you do Make the Beat: Miami 2 Ibiza by Swedish House Mafia

AND/OR

Tik Tok by Ke$ha

thanks for ur vids man really helpfulllll!

[misteradilost]

Mate.. You Rock! You're a pro in programming Synth's!

Gotta give my credit..

Although I'm making progress in creating nice drumpatterns, I still have got to learn how to program synth's so i can add them to the drums..

By watching your vids, it is a new experiance to me..

Keep up the good work! Greetings from Holland

[EnerGRules]

How come? you're doing tutorials when you could be working in a stereo making your millions?!?! Ur very good! KEEP IT UP

[777kayfo]

good  work

[PaPaRaZzIx3]

yeah.. its very easy.... i like that... ♥

[POPTARTSYUM]

lol this is how you get music for free legally

[solutionandmachine]

wicked tutorial, but it's blurry, dude!

[billionaire123456]

I have a question, I just got Logic Pro 9, i am a complete Beginner and i want to learn how to do stuff like that, making electro beats dance, so how do i do it, what programs do u use, how do i get to this and make this, how do i get up the interface how do i install pluggins...

[MrBrandonPeoples]

@billionaire123456 this is Reason 4 not Logic Pro 9

[Joe0994]

@billionaire123456 you're on the wrong tutorial mate, you need to be searching for Logic 9 tutorials, Reason and Logic are 2 different pieces of software but use the same ideology if you get what i mean, they use the same theory (obviously)

Good luck!

[gacktology]

Hi Thanks for your tutorials

I got a Song Request: Gackt - Ghost

spGM3HghlXM

[basscase78]

I cant believe you offer this stuff for free.  These lessons are amazing! THX

[rawrgrr4298]

I just got my Reason disk working. Guess what im trying to with it now..? :p

[jindagreatlee]

@rawrgrr4298 trying to learn how to use it. lol

[rawrgrr4298]

@jindagreatlee Naaa, searching for Reason tutorials was totally not the way i wound up on this video... ;D

[jindagreatlee]

@rawrgrr4298 lol... i ended up on this video trying to learn stuttering effects in reason.

[rawrgrr4298]

Just watching you make the sounds is amazing, like how it all takes shape. Dammit D:

Teach me your ways (Ironic possibly?)

[theuncanspan]

@AZRFHj he had to be a former ace of base member to do this hah!

[AZRFHj]

could you make the beat of the song alejandro?

[EvilOverlord96]

"what a lyrical genius that Lady Gaga is"

[dennislantzOFFICIAL]

do you have the kickdrum you're using in this sample for download?

[cleopigtra]

[ezerbs]

amazing, where do you get your ideas from ? is that all by ear only ?

I really learned allot from your videos, thx

[carriethesuper]

what system do you use i would like to use it for my computer

[relaxedgorn]

ableton kills both reason and fruity loops.. with its simplicity that opens your mind to realy create. Not to mention that ableton got great inbuild synths too..

[BorderHopper408]

Wow Impressing sounds mostly like it

[Meteotrance]

as a reason user i say , reason is like any other software if you have shit skill you do nothing except shit, even if you have the best sequencer or hardware in the world.

if you have skill you can do massive hit music with this thing !!! ^^

[formerutuber]

the beat was the only reason i liked poker face

[kingJCPbeats]

can you make money - the game plz

[Greenielid]

how come you always start with beats already in there? how do you get them to there?

[Kdeejay1987]

good work

[BADVT]

i like it a lot

[thesamplequeen]

I have loads of reason refills in all styles trust me something for everyone here as well as sample C.D's/ Loop Kits/ Loop C.D's/ Tutorials and much more.

I have all the factory sounds from every drum machine made in the last 20

years including the AKAI MPC range with MPC programmes. All available in wav or reason refill format. Trust me, you want it I got it I have everything! Contact me for a full list!

[highhorizon]

lolgood job man :)

[In2Tech]

Wow Thor is pretty good

I just started using it after being hooked to Subtractor for years

[privaj2001]

very cool instruction - thanks!

[tobebius]

ive actually discovered something useful, easy to follow and non egotisical on here! thanks mate.

[tbdnash]

hey man,

i just want to say thanks for making this vid. it's the first time i've actually gone online for insights on sound creation. my cover band is, well, coving this tune and i needed to make that square lead you have the OTHER tutorial on. pop, up comes you.

[tbdnash]

i recreated that sound, and most of the others in this tune using the korg mono/poly vst. i owned one as a kid, and between that and the roland JV line of synths, i've been lucky in creating (or in this case, re-creating) virtually any sound imaginable.

[tbdnash]

i stay away from reason an much as possible, but your sound philosophy was dead on. i haven't played much with PWM in my many years of programming, but you have intruduced me into an entirely new way of "looking" at sound. i was a saw/sine guy up till now.

[tbdnash]

anyway, it's late and i have to finish this before rehearsal tomorrow. i'm going to take your full advice for that wobbly lead in the breakdown just to get through this. i'm sure i'm going to smack myself in the head AGAIN while saying, oh DUH!!!!!

cheers mate, you pulled a stranger's privates out of a public fire with your awesome tutorials.

i hope you get paid for this shite.

[lifextragood]

Ma-ma-ma-mahhhhh This is misinterpreted in spanish because "MA-MA" = "SUCK / Fellate / Oral SEX"

jajajajajajaja Bravo. =)

Excellent tutorial!!!

Arriba!!!!!! Congratulaciones!

[outphase78]

Mu-Mu-Mu-MUUUUUHHH!!!

[drizzle008]

Thanks for the tutorial, it was very interesting and easy to follow. Find all your tutorials very informative at the same time as well.

[John150595]

what program is this?

[XxZmoK3sxX]

Reason 4

[marcomusicc]

Fruity Loops 12.0.3

[doublejay54321]

LMFAO!

[HunTerSpoTages]

I do each sound more easy with my NL 2X ^^

[johnnylawsonmusic]

i appreciate the fact that you always start from scratch on these tutorials...so many of these on youtube are just someone playing what they have created already. good work!

[rodriguez44444444444]

Can u Do Bad Romance from Lady Gaga

[JThirschman]

super helpful

[podgeyfinger]

wow... compex is it?

[BeatsByBeth]

lol @ the end.. you don't have to be able to sing either (although Lady Gaga is pretty good compared to most of them)

[nataliajudith24]

cool but are too much things!!

[ItalianBossPlaya]

i got a fuckin headache.... shit is too much

[mexmetal666]

fuck lady gaga

[nataliajudith24]

jaja me too

[richardiain]

you are THE BEST

[uexp4]

zomg this is complicated as shit for me

[Bahatir]

good job

[MitchellWiggs]

I have a suggestion/question/request lol. I think one of the hottest beats could be made if you re-created the period of GaGa's song in "Just Dance" from the 3:00 mark until around 3:32 where she is chanting "Half psychotic, sick, hypnotic, etc". Ive heard the instrumental of it and its really nice. Could you please do a tutorial of that or at least tell me how/where to get/create the punching sound beat that is created there?

[grillepcd]

where can i get this programm?

i want it tell me please

[47th]

hell yea reason is way better then fruity loops

[nick20200]

@47th right on lol. If u didnt know it but the sound quality in fruity loops has to be corrected. When you export a song, the sound levels are all different and there are some sounds in the export which you dont hear in the program. it gets really frustrating after a while trying to see what the problem is. Reason also offers a much better versatility but fruity loops, to me, is much easier to use with samples. Thats all i am using it for lately.

[Cre4tiveX]

@47th but why?

[AurisDJ]

@47th and fl

[AurisDJ]

@47th sorry lool meant Fruity Loops as (FL)

[DevinProducer]

@47th how?

[TSDREX]

@47th the only disadvantage about reason is you can't use Plug ins like NI Massive, etc xD but i just cut it up and put it in the reason since its a beast.

[forcesupreme]

@TSDREX

Rewire trough Ableton for example :D

[Outgunned]

@TSDREX actually u "hear" if reason itself is used,without any real daw usage...pretty a disadvantage,depending on reason lowering samples internal ( u know what i mean,sorry,not a native english speaker)... reason in combination with e.g. ableton makes a lot of fun,true. some ...i dont want to call it probs, but delay and fx like tha tneed some tweak to work as original imagined. so far i used every version of reason and dispite my remarks before, i love it :) never used record,but loved to^^

[TheTerminator1]

@47th depends what ur used to flowing in. I mean really all DAWs are just vst shells.

[caroseldan]

@TheTerminator1 Totally correct, all daws process audio identically, its what you do with it that counts! :)

[Kardinalloffi]

@47th its just u , u sucked at fruityloops

[Ca1mdownplz]

Just a quick question. Did you mean for only occelator 1 and 2 to be on on the saw synth?

[zigzago9]

u rock dude

[Triniboi215]

I'm going to attempt to make it lol. I'm quite like this song and to be able to make it would be amazing.

[MouMusics]

wow, really great!

do you think this is better than fl studio?

[philbertmill2]

amasing!!!

[siggy53551]

LOL at the end!

though on a serious note your video rocks and im going to watch alot more of your tuts so that I can take my beat making skills to the next lvl. Thx dude!

[TheBassHeavy]

Its a tutorial! If you want to hear the beat listen to the song....sigh.

[Sebizzar]

@ haloslayer1333

Learn how to spell, quit being homophobic, & just get a dam education. Oh right you're another 13 year old on Youtube how surprising...

[snowbeast2005]

Im Sorry I Stole Your Gurl-The Friday Night Boy-My REQUEST PLEASE

[DiSS1REacTed2Tekno]

you any good at making breakbeat/jungle/hardcore?????­????????

[ttdantt10384]

Dave, is your brain for sale? How much man? Great stuff fella

[Tracformers]

dave, once you made the synths did you use a keyboard or some other function in reason to lay the notes down? thnkz

[asianallstar24]

dave, my saw synth sounds really rough. how can i change this? i've done all that you've said. is it the detune? or the octave spread? or something else?

[ssssn]

Filter it?

[panizzle]

combinator mania

[macf1soon]

Thats a very good explanation. Your sound is different to the original, sounds a bit better, whats your music software.

Would you recommend this software to a amateur producer :)?

keep up the good music work, UK STYLE!! =)

[Leyo95]

Hey macf1soon,

the programm is called Reason.

Hm, many people saying it´s hard to understand, but I think it´s not.

I use it since around one year, and here in Youtube are many good tutorials ;D

Hope that was helpfull ;D

[rheoguq]

its reason

its pretty good for beginners

its good for making beats

[jakemarkjane]

@rheoguq m8 its the industry standard dance music production software its the best u can get beginners lmao get facts right be4 shoutin about sumin u probly have never ever used its pro master class the best thor just makes any DAW VST look crap

[rheoguq]

@jakemarkjane lol... i have used reason...

and reason is not the best.. vsts are more versatile

protools is industry standard

and if i misunderstood what your saying then sorry

your has no punctuation so i tried my best to understand it

[nick20200]

@rheoguq no offence but thats it definately NOT the case. you may not realise it but all the sounds on vst's can be easily made with reason, if it means using loops or synths it can be done. I admit vst's are so much easier to use, all u do is put notes in, but there is something about making your own sound which doesn't come with vst's. making the sound you want gives you freedom about how you want it to sound. I tried finding a nice sub bass and i had to go to reason and create it with thor.

[rheoguq]

@nick20200 oh orite

[HolyKatana]

@nick20200 Uh, dude, VST plugins have editable parameters. You can make patches from scratch, just like in Reason. And to be honest, you can't get every sound from Reason. Thor and Malstrom are both very versatile synths (I can't stand Subtractor, though), but try getting some of the things you can do with Reaktor or Omnisphere in Reason. You can't. You have no idea what you're talking about, especially since, ohmygosh, Reason has thousands of presets, too.

[HolyKatana]

Although I do use Reason from time to time, I've been trying to wean myself off of it, as I was rather dependent on it for a while. It's very easy to use and has a very nice workflow, but there are certain limitations to it. For example, you can't edit audio in Reason. You can in Record, but I don't particularly want Record. That and I wanted a larger pallette of sounds to use (certain VST effects which don't have any equivalent in Reason; Illformed Glitch, for example).

[nick20200]

@HolyKatana I kind of forgot what i said but i can sort of guess saying something about reason not needing vst's.

I know it sucks that it doesnt allow audio manipulation so thats why i rewire into ableton. I think of reason as one big vst ;)

also what i meant was that some vst's dont have editable parameters *cough* nexus *cough*

But, i honestly believe reason can produce a massive range of sounds, but yes, reaktor and etc can make a wider range.

[LaIctusInFame]

@rheoguq beginners? never ^^

[iappzone]

@rheoguq for professionals not for beginners :)))

[Gra55h0pp3r]

@rheoguq

which reason u mean? go with the time ;)

[Hejzwej]

@rheoguq Then I've been a beginner for four years.

[Zlatis23]

Very good tutorial! But i didnt like that "echoing kinda plup thing" (as i think u called it) at 5:30 its too weak

[SxyGeorge]

mate yr wkd, thats bad. told me stuff i didnt act know, nice 1

[stevenjoee]

New album releasing soon!

i'm really interested in this beat if you or anyone is intersted in making beats for my album let me know.

thankyou!

[xxsherriebabyxx]

WOW... Your Soo Good :) xxxxxxx

[xelaraque]

"Paint your face with random designs, dye your hair white and make dodgy insinuations about your sexuality on the Johnathan Ross show, then youre pretty much on the way to becoming a pop star!"

lol XD

[karhyme1]

what the tempo?

[YVPrecise]

"lyrical genius that lady gaga is". LOL.

great tutorial. I like how you took a song that had several complicated synths and dissected it one by one to show how to make the beat.

[MNCHNtoSTHLM]

omg r u the producer? or how often did u listen to that song? This ace great man.

[YungHoodz]

Its a very very very very simple song. You should be impressed with his patch creation skills.

[MNCHNtoSTHLM]

This is of course included in my comment.

[milkchocolate3]

hahaha. great vid !

[dertimi]

wow, great video tut.. i'll try a remake :)

[PeterPenunzen]

Keep making tutorials!

[MysteryNomad]

Another great tutorial - 5 stars man and thanks.
