3 Arrangement Rules, That’ll Change Your Music

wow your production sounds great

📄 I share ALL of my production tips here:

“

So young and care about all the wrong things. People weren't stuck to their cell phones when I was in middle and high school. The word Device comes from Latin that means "To Divide" So it divides you, and then we call it a cell. So it divides you into your cell and feeds you with what we call, your feed. You're fed all this "content" which is really feeding you contentment. This way, no one can harmonize with one another because you're divided in your cell being fed contentment. This is also why they have everyone trying to become "Bedroom Producers" and sell people like Skrillex to you, when in reality he works with a team of people all working together to create a final product, just as long as they can sell you on the idea that he does everything himself so you seclude yourself from humanity. Can you now see none of this matters and why you're focused on all the wrong things? Everyone lives in their own worlds now in the second life online and stays away from each other. Now people only see each other on social media like Facebook and hang out there rather than in person. Dark world we're living in, my friend, everyone better wake up before it's too late.

Hey, I'm Alex. I'm a music producer, and in this video, I'm breaking down 3 of the most important arranging rules of music production.

“

Your track is better than the Bruno Mars featured.

— @themanfromvolantis

00:00 - Intro

00:53 - Rule 1

“

In Top production dance pop song there are So Many layers - the brain is literally in Trance, not knowing what sub-track to HUMM to…!))))

— @Asimut30

02:04 - Rule 2

06:09 - Rule 3

“

Well, the Spotify analysis Might (!) misconstrue the reasoning: I skip my Favourite pop tracks Instantly if I’m not in the mood for them.
Whilst I Don’t skip ambient tracks in a good shuffle even if they are quite generic

Did they take those patterns into consideration?

Wow! Thanks for your clear explanations and apt film/story analogies. The visuals are also very helpful; They help us see how the music should sound. Finally, your knowledge of different genres adds heft and substance. You're an inspired teacher!

I'd love to see a video of how you get that deep bass tone without making it sound muddy or overpowering.

Tension and release concept also helps to create theme and variation in place

Thank you for actually making useful content with real world examples. It's a smart way to showcase your talent, AND I actually learned from this. Subbed!

@ckrug32

I somewhat agree with you on the 24K Magic song. To keep it fresh they used the same groove and applied a different technique- ear candy.

@nguqobo2261

Great production, great production techniques.

good drum groove

@CFox.7

This is an excellent and "simple" breakdown of how to use the basic themes/elements introduced in the initial sections to create a sense of freshness and interest while maintaining a sense of uniformity and cohesion... good music is all about the form (and using repetition / contrast)... very nicely done, excellent video, excellent examples and I cannot argue about your top-3 ideas for creating a good song... Thanks!

@bobe.thomas

are those real recorded basses or midi? all the examples sounded really good, if it is midi would you care to share wich instrument it is.

Amazing video ! I don't know much yet about music but got hooked by the video. Love your work !

Great production from a new channel dude, fantastic video. Subbed

A artist that’s really good at this is Tyler the creator of

@cats8941

Nothing more boring than a song that uses the same beat and chords throughout the song, even if a few things are changed up. Loop based software has really damaged the art of song writing.

@PhilW222
@

You got some groove going Alex. Love to hear it! 👏

@samplestations
@

Loved that song. If I was allowed to use that beat, I could use that for a future K-pop song. Subbed!

@hidefdepth

Thank you for making me learn something today

@DustineJao

It sounds like a Bruno Mars arrangement. Good though .

@lebcaleb8692

Man, do us a favor, buy a microphone or just turn it on. Listening to your shitty room is beyond our strength. Good vid btw

@jklight3795

I actually want to know what you have to say because your production and songwriting is the best I've seen on youtube!

@Vunsunta

Solid video.

4:18 gotta admit I wasn't expecting that to be this good

@yepyepmusic

Great video, like it ;)

@samsmusic2995

this is gold thank you sir ❤

@ronnie060

recontextualizing motifs is one of my favorite parts of songwriting. When I write my guitar riffs, I try to write them so that they'll work over totally different sections and chord progressions throughout the song. And when I write something really cool for my bridges, third choruses, outros, etc., I try to find places earlier in the song where I can plant teasers of what's to come later.
