I took Charlie Puth’s music class so you don’t have to

thank you for sharing, or maybe i gonna waste my time watching it, cuz im really a beginner, the class maybe so hard for me

Idk man, I feel like you deserve to be scammed if you genuinely thought taking this course would give all the answers you need. I don’t really feel bad for people that have more money than sense.

geez plugins are such a scam, u cant even sell them second hand like hardware

love the plastic love reference

"I'm not even gonna pretend I know how this works, it just makes my voice sound good"

Well, if you're making a CLASS, you think it would be pertinent to learn how the thing works so people can actually LEARN from you!!

I know I'm 3 years late but damn that made me ANGRY

Water bottle full of vodka in class is wild😂

Charlie Puth could’ve just done a live stream instead of selling a course 😭

This is why I don't create courses, I'm horrible at teaching what I know.

Need to know "why".

I'm the same. If I can't understand why, I'm not going to be able learn very much at all or connect with something. This deeply translates to my own music and is a huge part of why Music Theory is so important to me. Music Theory explains WHY something sounds good, why something works harmonically.

Charlie seems to be one of those people who is just naturally musically gifted and that's wonderful for him, but not very helpful at all to anyone else. He can't teach us to be creative because he didn't have to learn that ability himself.

Great video lol

His music producing videos free on YouTube are rather good. I learned a lot.

I'm also getting tons of e-mails and offers from reputed YouTuber artists initially helping and guiding in my music production journey for FREE and then slowly they ask to join their Mentorship programs like others do & they're my own personal favourite artists whom I followed and got inspired since ages but still I thought I'm not ready or suitable for those fancy production master classes 🥲

I simply replied, I think I'm not ready mentally and physically for it so I need more time to just lay the foundation myself as I have enough basic ear training and hundreds of gigs of personal experience where I explored live music and practical flaws myself since years.

I feel, I just need to implement my ideas and practice production more and more with free materials and plug-ins available around first and then start investing in paid classes and gears later if I feel something is still missing 🤔

And with pro AI assistants today like Gemini Pro 3 which I got for free with my Pixel phone, I have access to powerful tools of Google which literally help me solve any issue or suggest ideas to work on within seconds rather than waiting for my personal mentor who might take time to reply after days or weeks and I able to complete a full project within days so it makes a huge difference to be self employed and independent in every way possible!

its $450 now 😂

But gabi, if they cut and process the content so it's at least somewhat consumable, how would they write "In-depth video lessons (8h 54m)" in the course description? The more, the merrier, right?

Obviously you didn't show the entire course, but, based on the few clips you were able to show, it kind of sounds like he basically just agreed to teach the course and then pulled the equivalent of watching YouTube on company time. He basically just recorded himself working normally on his songs and pretended he was "teaching" so he could get paid to do what he was already planning on doing. Again, not the whole course, but the fact that it describes even the smallest portion of the course is unacceptable.

I had this experience recently with Paul McCartney doing "piano lessons" on YouTube. His entire lesson was basically, "You know, just, uh… come up with a melody or a song and then, y'know, play it. Like this." And then he started playing a Beatles song, and then sidetracked himself into a story about when they recorded the song, and then forgot he was doing a lesson and just noodled on the piano while reminiscing about the Beatles. I mean, interesting to listen to Beatles stories, but as a piano lesson? It wasn't. Similarly, I watched a very talented guitarist asked in an interview how beginner guitarists could learn to break out of the pentatonic box if they're a little timid about making big moves on the fretboard. His answer was "Learn every single note on the fingerboard, then learn every scale in every key and practice all those scales and their associated chords in every key until you can play them smoothly…" at which point he shredded licks from the bottom of the neck all the way to the top at inhuman speed, and continued, "…like that." I'm paraphrasing very slightly, but his lesson to beginner guitarists who want to learn how to step outside of the basic pentatonic box they learned is to (1) Master guitar and music theory, (2) practice until you can play like a master guitarist, and then (3) now you can venture out of that pentatonic. It was ridiculous. I mean, it would work… but it sort of misses the point that a beginner guitarist is trying to learn a first baby step out of a basic technique, and the better answer to that might include a tip that a beginner could incorporate, not a lifelong quest that they have to do first before they can make that baby step.

Over and over, I've seen that people who've been working at a very high level for their whole career have often lost sight of what it was like to not know the things they know. What's SUPER basic to them–so basic that it doesn't even bear mentioning bc it must be so obvious to anyone–is levels above what most people can do, especially beginners.

0:20 this song sounds like a level in a bullet hell game with like a super cool boss tranistion

Teaching is a skill. Glad that more people realise it now.

the only plug in i have ever paid for was autotune, every DAW has everything you would need. all you gotta do is do it, mess with em and when you start to stop liking whatever you make go to youtube and ask "why does my song sound XYZ" then repeat countless hours of frustration and boom

I stumbled across the production session that you featured in this video the other day on YouTube, and I was not only shocked by Charlie Puth's total lack of clarity when explaining even basic things, but also how bad some of his creative choices were. Like putting autotune on every vocal and then just setting it to 100? He blames his perfect pitch for this cause it makes him insecure about his voice apparently, which makes sense to some degree, but putting it on absolutely everything, including the stacked harmonies, just makes the whole thing seem over-produced and saps it of any authenticity.
The guy is exceptionally talented and knows how to make a viral Tik Tok, but I am really not convinced at all by him as a songwriter and artist.

He went from: who threw that pickle at me? 🤓🫠

To: Hi, I am a song writer, producer and Artist” 🧞‍♂️

I don’t think you should be able to call something a “class” if you can’t ask the instructor direct questions and get an answer. This is just a video tutorial series. “Class” implies direct instruction and personal feedback from the instructor. At least it does to me.

for this cash you can buy a ia tool for mastering today. there are a lot of selfnamed teacher in this world, but they do it for selfpresentation. a lot of selfnamed producer don´t make cash with musik, but with tutorials. (ableton, etc,etc.)
