today we're going to remake espresso by

Sabrina Carpenter and it's going to

sound like

[Music]

this all right guys my name is bad habit

today we're going to break down and

remake espresso by Sabrina Carpenter my

favorite song of 2024 so far and I knew

it was going to be a hit on April 18th I

posted this story right here I was

feeling it inside for some reason I knew

this song was going to be a hit but the

question is why what's making this song

so special and even though the

production sounds simple I can assure

you it's not the song has been produced

by Julian bunetta an amazing producer

amazing songwriter it did all of the

major stuff from One Direction and in

this one we have so many hidden layers

so many little techniques that Julian

used to make the song Stand Out and

today we're going to go through all of

them so you can use them to in your own

production so you can upgrade them from

average to Pro so I want to start from

the drums because the song has a very

nice Groove that consists basically of

drums guitars and bass but to get that

Groove I want to play guitars and bass

when I already have good sounding drums

so we're going to have to make some

disco drums this song kind of reminds me

a little bit of DOA cats kiss me more

say so that kind of sound so I want to

start from these Oliver packs and see if

we can find some Loops that maybe we can

use or maybe we can just chop up and use

some samples from them this is cool but

I need something simple like e notes

this is very cool I like the snare of

this one but especially the

kick so if you've been following the

channel you probably know already that I

like to use this filter inside the

simpler just to you know apply some

drive that's a little bit too intense

now something like that and I'm pretty

happy with this kick the only thing is

that it doesn't have a lot of low end so

I might add one plugin that I really

like to use on kicks which is the SSL

Channel strip and I'm not going to use

the uad one this time I'm going to use

this one just to show you like another

great alternative a little bit of

compression which is probably going to

reduce the low end of the kick even more

don't worry because we're going to make

up for it with

this yeah there we go we can move on to

the snare the snare is probably going to

be a little bit tougher it sounds to me

like it's a layer of multiple things I

can definitely hear a little bit of clap

not only like a solid snare but the note

of the snare is very very well defined

there are some very cool sounds in here

but I might want to layer it myself you

know most of these sounds that you're

going to find in in the Oliver packs are

already layers of like multiple snares

and claps this time I might want to do

it

myself but none of these have like a

solid note I need like something like

that what about this one you can

definitely hear that note like

that that's the note

yeah I found this

one okay want to make this one a little

bit more like this so similar

shape short tight I want to give this

Loop a little bit of real feeling and I

like having um some samples taken from

Loops like these oh yeah without

it wow this clap is amazing let me see

if we can find like a clap that sounds a

little bit more real this is pretty

cool this could be it something like

that maybe doesn't really make a big

difference to be honest I was expecting

something

different the first one of this Loop is

very nice oh yeah okay so I adjusted all

the Fades and I layered them in a way

that I like how they're flamming okay

and so now they sound like

this yeah the only thing missing now

with this snare is a little bit of tail

so I think I'm going to add a very small

Reverb that's nice but I'm wondering

maybe a gator Reverb could really do the

job here uh to make it stand out a

little bit more have a little bit more

of that 80s feeling on the snare not

Phil cin not that much but so without

it with

it wow I like

it a little bit more pre LA on the

longer Reverb so it doesn't start

playing right away but we have like the

snare which sounds a little bit drier

and then after like 30 40 milliseconds

the longer Reverb kicks

in I think I like this wow okay so these

are the two main elements of our drums

and I'm super happy about how they're

sounding they sound thiso but they also

sound modern enough to like really have

the punch that we need in nowadays music

One thing I want to do is for this one

the first that we picked I want to

enhance the attack a little bit more not

much like 12% 133% now we're also going

to reduce the sustain a little bit to

make it really tight I'm going to go a

little bit stronger

here okay cool and one more thing I want

to do on this one is enhance that note

2db something like that so this is

without it this is with it and I did

something very similar on this layer

right here by

enhancing this area and I also tained a

little bit the high end I shaped this

layer as well I just use you know a

different transient shaper this is the

one that you always see me use but this

time I felt like using this one nothing

special just increase the attack

decrease the sustain there's actually a

substantial difference in this layer

this is

before this is after I wanted to focus a

little bit more on that initial part of

the sample not much on the tail okay so

this was the easy part now we got to

make sure that the groove is on point

and to make sure the groove is on point

we really got to pay attention to how we

move these hats so the hats to me sound

mostly like acoustic hats we can

definitely find some cool acoustic

samples here and maybe play them in to

make sure we have the right feeling I

feel like the groove is an essential

part of this song it really makes it

move with that Baseline the guitar Rift

and the drums to me these hats sounds

pretty soft like they've been played

with brushes I have these vol there's a

vintage drum machines look at this like

there's so many high hats Jazz we have

folk we have brush that's what I was

looking for okay so I picked the ones

that I was actually showing you I have

this one this

one this is a little bit more open I'm

not sure I'm going to use this one but

definitely a combination of these three

the pattern that we need here is very

very simple is like eight notes

something like that

yeah so I'm going to have to adjust the

timing of these but what I did is

basically I used this one the very short

one to have this simple eight notes

pattern and then I added this one just

on the

upbeat which now I have to like kind of

quantize I don't want to quantize it

perfectly but I need to make sure they

sound well together and then I use this

one which is a little bit more open

compared to this one and and I put it

only on the fourth so I put it on the

kick and the snare so what happens is

[Music]

this so you have that eighth note

feeling but like I'm doing now with my

mouth every quarter you have the high

hat a little bit more

open something like that okay so I did

some adjustments to the velocities and

also to the timing as you can see it's

not perfect like at all but as long as

it sounds good to my ears and the groove

is there I'm happy with

it and this sounds good to me like they

don't sound late they don't sound early

which is the most important thing for me

okay so this is sounding really cool the

groove is there like I really love the

sound selection but anytime that I make

my own drums from scratch like I just

did now I also like to add one or two

additional Loops if they're live Loops

even better because they give that live

feeling the live feeling that I'm

already trying to give to these drums

that I made for example with the

velocities with the timing of these

samples not being exactly on the grid

well I want to enhance that feeling and

so that's when I introduced Loops not

from the very beginning now at this

stage to just you know enhance the

feeling that I already have I have a

very interesting folder right here that

i' like to take from you know okay so

these are the four Loops that I selected

if I play them together they sound like

this

it's basically like a full loop and

that's not what I want I want to keep

the feeling of these Loops but just as a

support one thing that I like to do

sometimes to experiment with these Loops

is add this very cool free plugin just

make sure to check the video I made

about my top five plugins in 2024

because I included this one I use it all

the time this is free and it's very cool

to like shape the Sounds in a way that's

a little bit different than just you

know pitching up and down I want to

clean CLE up a little bit the top end

but I don't want to EQ it for now I just

want to shape the sound in a different

way and one thing I want to do is also

make sure that these transients are not

as loud I can do it with LFO tool doing

something like

that for this one a little bit more work

but basically the same thing we did for

the first one and then I used this

plugin this WOW control I found a pretty

cool preset called

grungy this makes it I don't know what

round did now they sound like this and

they're very very cool addition to what

we had already this you know gives more

life to the drums that we had in the

beginning without it the groove was

already pretty

cool this brings it to like another

level okay so I'm very very happy about

the drums that we have now I'm ready to

move on to the base no we're not done

with the drums I know but like this is

the bulk of the drums this is what we

need to move on to the Bas and the base

is probably one of my favorite sounds of

the song because you cannot really tell

what it is like is it a real base

electric Bas a synth base what is it is

it a layer a combination of all of these

possibly yes and that's why it's

probably my favorite sound of the song

actually not my favorite sound of the

song is that super cool lead you know

what I'm talking about right the one

that

goes that's an insane sound the first

time I heard the song I was like what is

this sound we're going to remake that

later in the video so stay tuned for

that before the base it kind of reminds

me like I said in the beginning of kiss

me more and I know for a fact that in

that song they use the sample of a real

base so basically they found a loop like

this one of an electric base a real base

and then they sampled a single note from

this Loop and they made the Baseline out

of that all of these notes repeated we

can just sample one of

these something like

that maybe this one is better though

yeah okay we probably need to make it a

little bit dirty the capitator is always

the plug-in that I'd like to use first

when I'm when I need a little bit of

gradness on top of the

base

yeah and to stay in this world of real

base but sampled I can go for some

plugins like corg Triton uh the M1

oh

yeah oh wow you know you have that

feeling of a real base but if you listen

carefully you know it's not real it's

not played live found this one it's not

in the right octave but this sound is

quite interesting because it kind of

reminds me of an upright

base I think I'm going to keep this and

then we're going to create a new track

and find the subbase this sound right

here I've used it before as a subbase

and I like it because it's not a pure

sine wave it has some more like

harmonics low pass it a little bit we

might just need to add a little bit of

like saturation Distortion and maybe

compression to this group because you

know when I put a lot of layers together

I like to have them compressed together

so they sound like one thing I'm going

to start with some uh Distortion

saturation we use the cap

already let's go for uh the other sound

toys uh Dev lock if you just keep it

very low in the mix it adds some texture

to the sound some like grittin I've had

it for years but I've never used it

really because I didn't know how to use

it now I'm using it very lightly

whenever I want to add some greediness

to the sound let me show you how so

let's decrease the

[Music]

mix that's what I want but not as much

so

maybe no

three without it wow but now I want to

make it a little bit darker with this

[Music]

knob all right maybe

10 very controlled Distortion that's

what I

like I love

this oh wow I just want to play those

guitars so bad now and I'm almost ready

to play those guitars but first let me

make an actual espresso let's go make

some actual

[Music]

coffee all

right ah there we go you can smell it

from the

camera wow this is good I'm ready now

okay so we're going to start from the

main guitar Rift the Riff that you hear

throughout the whole song the thing that

actually you remember

[Music]

if you try to sing the melody on top of

these chords that I just played on the

guitar doesn't make a lot of sense and

probably you're wondering okay why this

is one of the most interesting

techniques that Julian bonetta used

while producing this song The Guitar

does something the keys are doing

something else and then there are more

guitars the other guitars are playing

different voicings so the harmony of the

song is made of multiple instruments

doing different things but complimenting

each other in a very interesting way and

that's a very cool Tech technique that

you can use to in your own Productions

first of all let's try to get a good

take off

this ah come on the timing let's

go okay so I recorded a bunch of takes

as you can see I did 19 and then I

selected the best parts and I put

together a pretty good comp I think I

wish I could show you the full process

how I got to this result but you know

there's no time to do this in this

YouTube video but if you're interested

in my full process like no gatekeeping

at all make sure to check my master

class link down in the description it's

over 10 hours long like you can see my

full process from start to finish but

for now this is the final result this is

what I got

[Music]

now we're starting to actually hear the

song very cool before I process these

guitars uh to make them sound better I

actually want to record a couple more

layers but these guitars are going to be

a little bit different because instead

of a riff this time we're going to strum

so I can have a very cool combination of

chords here I can for example have one

track playing

this okay and then I can have for

example another one playing

[Applause]

this you know these are all different

voicings so when we put them together

it's going to sound amazing and there's

also one more guitar layer that goes

like

[Music]

this okay so let me show you what I did

because I think this is very cool the

main thing about these guitars was just

uh finding a good balance between them

and finding different sounds uh for each

layer I created two groups one which I

kept cleaner in terms of like sound and

one that instead I treated a little bit

differently adding a shimmer two layers

one uh left and one right these are

doing the exact same

thing and then I have the little thing

that I showed you before that little

Melody and then on the group I just put

a little bit of LFO tool to like you

know add some side chain but this is the

interesting part the Shimmer which

creates this effect

you

know here how like the the pad is coming

out of these guitars so

basically this is enriching the chords

so nicely for the other layer it's a

little bit simpler instead I just chose

different sounds and did different

things with the

voicings and then I have another one

penned slightly to the right because

this was pan slightly to the left darker

a little bit more like distorted if I

just play you these two groups together

basically you have the harmony of the

[Music]

song

[Music]

yeah and let's add the other

[Music]

guitar the sound of the Riff is not

quite there control the Peaks a little

one thing I'm going to add that is

soothe this is a LIF saer with

guitars I just want a little bit of

Reverb I think I'm going to put it uh

before soothe in

parallel and I also want some

delay some surgical EQ here without it

it was sounding like this and now it has

more body because I enhanced all of

these frequencies and also I wanted to

make sure that the top note was the one

that I was hearing better so that's the

reason for this crazy EQ right here and

for this one right

here and actually remove a little bit of

this so we talked about the guitars

playing these different voicing to like

make the chords richer but the same

thing is also happening with the keys

one thing that I can definitely hear is

like a

CP70 that kind of electric piano to my

ears this is what they're playing like

an a minor okay and then

basically this chord uh which would be

GB d

[Music]

e just not sure of this

preset this is more like it okay this is

the classic CP70 sound you

know oh

yeah very cool and to support this piano

I think they also added a little synth

something that could be I don't know

like a Juno a Jupiter let's go for the

Jupiter just for

once I like this it's kind of wobbling

you know it's kind

of so much

better so this is what the piano is

doing in the hook these are the voicings

for the hook we don't have the piano in

the verse it's coming back in the pre

but it's doing something slightly

different that we're going to see in a

second but before moving on to that I

want to finish the hook we need those

bells that are playing the main Melody

this sound could work if we play it in

two octaves at the same

[Music]

time let's go I like

it and maybe um a little bit of

chors okay so this is basically it for

the hook we have the keys we have the

guitars we have drums we have the bass

and when we go into the verse most of

these things simplify a little bit so we

can just take all of this duplicate it

and going into the verse we have the

same same drums the same Bas and uh the

guitar now is a little bit filtered you

know to make room for the vocals but

then going into the pre we have those

strumming guitars that are coming

back and this starts to build you know

the

vibe for the chorus and one thing that's

changing a little bit is this piano in

the pre it's coming back plain slightly

different voicings again

[Music]

yeah okay guys I just noticed the layer

that I've never noticed before like I

listened to this song like a thousand

times to really you know hear everything

but I missed this one thing I think

there's some sort of like keys that are

playing in the verse going through some

plugins that make it glitch like like

bad reception you know when you're like

on hold because you're calling the DMV

or something like that and they put the

music you know but you know there's bad

reception that's what what I'm hearing

okay I found this sound which could be a

good starting points so from this if I'm

thinking of something glitching two

plugins come to mind the first one is

definitely uh lossy and the other one is

this one this one right here Loi it's

already making it sound Loi and maybe

with lossi we can really bring it to the

next level let me see Bad cell

connection okay maybe this one yeah this

one this is the one I'm looking for I

also want some

microshift to make the stereo bigger and

now we're going to filter

it yeah okay guys we're almost there but

we're missing the coolest sound of the

whole song which is that lead sound

we're going to do that in a second but

first of all I got to reorganize this

session because this is a mess I I

really don't know what's happening here

okay I reorganized the session and while

doing that I also added a couple of

layers that I want to show you real

quick in the hook we also needed a

Shaker to define a little bit better

some of the accents so what I did was

simply taken a couple of Shaker Loops

you can see I chopped them up and I made

sure that the accents were in the right

spots youve probably noticed that

there's also a crash pretty simple

nothing crazy a little percussion like

this is a wood

block and then there's a t fi they use

the transition from one section to

another I just found a cool Tom sample

put it in a sampler so I could you know

tune

it uh what else I just added a couple of

open eye hat this is a very simple 808

hat and here like a more acoustic

hat but now that we have the full

arrangement of the song we can add a

couple of things that are missing I want

to add a little base that only appears

in the beginning of verse two going into

the pre it's just a different Baseline

and it's a different sound to me it

sounds like a synth base

[Music]

yeah I needed some Distortion and so I

used this very cool plugin some very

short chorus and this plug in the dbx

160 to add a little bit of transient so

now oh wow we're ready we're ready for

that we're ready for the lead sound

[Music]

and this lead sounds like a profit to me

probably so possibly Repro again but I

don't know I don't want to go for Repro

I think this time I'm going to try to

find a similar sound I don't know in the

mini

moo this is already pretty close and

it's the first

sound I don't want the delay here but

maybe the

CH oh wow I love this oh my God this

sound is insane I need to add some like

Distortion to

this oh wow more more more

Distortion whoa amazing it's almost

perfect but there's one crucial part of

this sound that we need to make right

there's a little bit of vibr a little

bit of modulation especially on the last

note and we don't have any at the moment

we need to add it with the modulation

wheel and the keyboard on the last note

I'm going to really boost it up so it's

going to sound something like

that

[Music]

yeah the final thing that I always like

to keep for the end is the drum

processing and as always I start from

this one dial it in little by

little this is pretty intense but let me

dial it back a little left Drive

[Music]

and lately I've been using this more

more I don't want to do anything crazy

and to finish just a little bit of eqing

I just want to boost a little

bit the very low and like the kick

mostly the

kick and there we have it there we have

it all right guys we got to the end of

another amazing remake this is my

favorite song of 2024 and I think it

came out insane we were able to really

break it down in every single detail I

love this one and I hope you enjoyed it
