How To Produce Indie Pop Like The 1975 and The Band Camino

I show you the session for and indie pop song I produced, "the Summer" by Ryan (BTW ILY). I show you how we made "the city" style 80s bass synths with Arturia's OBX plugin, how we layered guitars with ableton live effects, and ran synths through euro rack modulations for ambient pads.

Hi, I'm Seth, I've been Songwriting & Producing music for the past 10 years. I made this channel because I couldn't find any music production tutorials in my niche on guitar based pop that actually broke down specific songs from artists like the 1975, LANY, Muna, etc. Every week i make an instrumental from scratch in the specific style of a popular guitar-based pop song and show you how I recreated it. I show you my sample selection, production tricks, guitar tones, mixing chains, mastering plugins, all of it. I've worked with many artists in bringing their creative ideas into the real world. I've worked on projects for Warner Music Group and three songs I've written (and two I've produced) have made it onto Spotify-Curated Playlists (Love Pop, OPM Workday Marathon, & New Music Friday Philippines, Cozy Christmas Pop).

I've been producing house music for over a decade now, but 4 to 5 months ago I started listening the 1975, arrows in action, The Band Kamino etc, and wanted to make music like them. I hadn't play guitar in 10 years so im pretty rusty, but man has hour channel helped me into starting making indie pop music. Even tho I Use FL, I believe im understanding most of what you are doing.

Thanks again man! Also great "The City Vibes"

Hey man, great video🫶🏽 i was wondering if you heard the new Clairo album "Charm", i just wanted to know your thoughts on the production and i dont know if you might do a video on it in the future, but i think it is kind of like a mix of funk, soft rock, and jazz?
