Thanks, Will! It’s incredible to me how “simple” things, like using reference tracks even during production, are often overlooked. I’m guilty of it too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!

A related but slightly different tip I learned at a full-time music production school was (and this is in Logic Pro language): analyse the track in your DAW, and for each sound/instrument that you identify, create a new DAW track and drop empty MIDI regions in, dragging/cloning them to represent the points in the song when that instrument plays. The regions don't DO anything, they're just visualisations of what is playing and when. It's a bit more in-depth and involved than your tip, but it can help in visualising that "4th dimension" that you refer to. Personally, I would use your technique 9 times out of 10, but I just wanted to offer this suggestion - essentially using MIDI regions as coloured placeholder blocks. Funny thing is that after learning this technique, I gave it a half-assed try and then moved on - despite the teacher stressing that the time investment would really pay off. Here I am years later googling how to arrange my tracks 🤦‍♂🤣

Was watching muted 80's action sitcom intros, wondering if I could make up music for them when I found this😂.. so that sample song went everywhere.. these too have tempos... a team, night rider, magnum pi, teenage mutant ninja turtles..

Is there an generic skeleton for a 2.5-3min track? Like after 8bars there should be x and the first drop after y bars. I know making a full track varies from that but as a practice or to get started it might help me a lot

GREAT STUFF!!

Hell Yeah!

Hell yeah bruv!

This tip helped me soooo much! A true pleasure to watch all your videos!! Keep it up!!

I hear you use pencil on your post-its. I only have a pen, will my track still sound good. 👀

A wise old man once said to me " life is a rollercoaster, you just got to ride it".............Wait.. no...??... that was Ronan Keating, sorry my bad !!

That was super helpful, thnks

You are incerdible 🔥🔥🔥

Similarities of Verse And Chorus
The chorus and verse are different in a lot of ways, but there are also a lot of similarities between the two parts. It makes sense to note the similarities of choruses and verses so that you're able to build songs with different yet cohesive sections.

They're Both Important Parts of A Song's Basic Structure.
The two sections are equally important since they both serve the overall goal of a song. While a chorus may be more memorable, a verse tells more of a song's story, setting up the payoff for the catchy chorus. A verse and chorus can connect deeply with a listener and work in tandem to create a strong piece of music.

They Both Incorporate Rhyme.
One of the best ways to make a song memorable is to incorporate rhyme. Fortunately, both the chorus and verse utilize a strong rhyme scheme in order to maximize a listener's retention of a song.

The Verse And Chorus Help The Listener Attach To A Song.
Every songwriter knows that the chorus and verse are essential. These parts may be different, but at the same time, they both serve the main story of the song in collaboration with one another.

As you can see, the chorus and verse are both essential to a successful song even though they have their fair share of differences. Hopefully, this guide makes it easier for you to decode these essential songwriting tools so that you can start crafting better songs. Enjoy writing tracks with a memorable verse and chorus! Question 🙋‍♂ does bridge,interlude,breakdown,break,post chorus can all be part of song structure and telling a story?

HELL YEAH!

Hell yeah. 😂 really liked this tip video. I have watched others but this is the first one I recall hearing about paying attention to a sound from one section to another and noting how it change’s specifically in the arrangement. Thank you.

I didn’t know Bear Grills was a ghost producer!

You are amazing at this. Please make more! Bless us with your tips. I’d like to learn more about making variations in a single synth sound so the track never gets boring

🙏

Thank you very much for this. The genre I would need to reference is pretty experimental and alot of the songs are totally different but im sure I can still get alot of uses from these tips.

I've seen a lot of videos, man and this guy knows his shit and also leaves the ego at the DOOR which is more important than anything because you get honesty and integrity, the same time

If you download your reference tracks from Beatport, you can edit your filename preferences to show BPM and musical key.
