Creating new music that you FEEL is tough. An EDM producer is someone who can finish their best music with simplicity and innovation. Translating your ideas into your work is often easier said than done. We all need help in honing technical skills so the creative juices can flow. Here are 4 EDM youtube channels that will take you into the journey of progression.
Dr. Ozi
If you have been sleeping on the doctor let me give you the wake up medicine right here, right now. This EDM producer has major talent and has been crushing the game with HUGE sound design. With releases on Circus Records, Black Label and Never Say Die he is consistent in giving the user a disgusting Bass Face every time!
His EDM producer youtube channel is all the more insightful as you get massive free value into his past projects and blueprint approach. His video called “Dynamics in Music” is incredible as he breaks down the big picture backbone of music and things to keep in mind while producing your masterpiece. 😉 Creating something from scratch can be difficult but when you have a master to watch, the creative liquid flows!
CRWTH
With funny puns and clever editing CRWTH, is a must for the EDM producer! His videos are crazy entertaining and super helpful to any EDM producer. From drum beat patterns to plug-in presets, CRWTH provides great insight to make those 808’s heavy AF. What’s special about this youtube channel is the variety of music you can learn.
Dubstep, Trap, House, Wubs, it’s all there from scratch and easy to follow. The “why” is more important than the “how” in his videos and it shows across the whole thing. When creating you want to influence but you don’t want to just copy verbatim what’s being done. CRWTH makes it a common practice to let your inner Beethoven shine through technique, not plagiarising. He teaches you, then sells his Fire Sample Packs for a deal in the same breath. Be sure to show love.
Barely Alive
Next up on the list needs no introduction. If you haven’t been to a Barely Alive show yet then you need to immediately open up a new tab and see the glory. Barely Alive’s youtube channel is a gorgeous sight to see. The EDM artist’s impressive and immersive videos captivate the viewer and draw you in for more. The videos are like potato chips, you don’t just devour one, you eat half the bag at least.
Ever think to yourself—“man this drop kinda sucks.” Well, he’s got a video “why your drops suck!” A hard look in the mirror but to have one of the best master recording artists helps you to learn way faster. Connect with his personality and see his work broadcasted across the EDM community. Can you say…straight from the source?
Reid Stefan
The realest, baddest, most drippin’ puppet in the game! Really, he’s a puppet, or at least that’s his persona. This “puppet” is quite possibly the most organized and clean EDM producer out there. What makes the youtube channel so special is the extra processes he takes to be more clean and clear. The concept that shines through is the less you have to worry about the process the easier you can create! Color Coding, Sample organization, renaming tracks, all clutter the conscious mind when not done properly. If you can even get your hands on a preset Audio effects rack from his website, that will save you hours on finding that perfect tweak. For all the Auto-Tune junkies out there, Reid got you!
