What would happen if a pro and a beginner producer went head to head producing the same song? BUT... the pro has to use GarageBand and the Beginner can use Logic Pro X!

yooooooo! such a fun vid!!! nathan, youâre the man. i had so much fun doing this. still got so much to learn but iâm excited to get started!
-
I didn't realize Garage band was so powerful
-
My favorite part is when the beginner calls hi-hat snare
-
He really has his earbuds plugged into the interface. Legend.
-
âI donât know how to quantize yetâ press Q brother đ
-
"He's only been producing for a few months!" OP-1: "cap."
-
The track was really remnant of the song: âattentionâ by Charlie puth
-
Dexter had some beautiful ideas regarding texture and timbre; heâs got more or less an artistic concept behind it all, which brings a lot of soul Nathan, while going for a more steady production philosophy and perhaps a little detached from it, showed however an absurdly well done mix Cheers to both, hope to one day be a little bit like either of you
-
They both are cool tracks. Very different. Nate's is straight-up pop-radio ready. Dexter's sounds like it could be on an Alt-J record. Both EXCELLENT in their own way.
-
This was amazing to watch! I actually prefer Dexterâs version. He really captured the emotions, while Nathan created a banger, but also a version that is something you would expect. Dexterâs version illustrates the wonderful surprise of the unexpected. His lack of experience has his mind completely open to sound. He has no expectations at all and therefore has created something quite unique. His lack of experience on this track is his friend.
-
Love watching videos like these. Really shows that it's not about the software, it's about the person who uses it.
-
Both tracks are really awesome! I also didn't know GarageBand was so powerful in the right hands.
-
'' he's been producing for only a few years'' beginner actually has a 1200$ OP-1
-
For me, the lesson of this video is not about whoâs better and whether experience will always prevail or not. For me the lesson is, learn to collaborate, make friends, smile through each challenge and make the best of whatâs in your head and soul. Keep a light heart, tame your ego, listen to others, appreciate diversity and learn to never stop learning. Thanks to you both, for highlighting where great music making really comes from.
-
I think it would be cool to see what they would come up with working together and combining their visions for the song!
-
Dexterâs is more unique but unpolished. Nathan finished what he started and mixed it spot on. Nathan had time to sleep on it so had an advantage there on top of the experience..I would like to hear a collab and finish this song, or have Nathan help to finish Dexterâs version.
-
To be honest I liked dexterâs version better. The only thing thatâs missing was some bad ass drums. Good job Dexter, keep it coming.
-
it's that thing where the beginner one sounds really just great because of how interesting and different it is, but needs just little touch ups here and there. where the pro one is perfect but in the end sounds really like what it's supposed to, so it ends up a little forgettable sadly. I think it's an interesting reminder for everyone.
-
Great job Dexter! Keep at it! Having spent some time on this journey myself, I'd say that what this clearly illustrates (GB vs Logic notwithstanding) is that as you develop experience with producing, one thing that changes is the depth of the production - the number of instruments/harmonic ideas and percussive elements. "Overproduced" is a real thing of course, so the other experience is how to carve out space for elements and knowing when to stop. Great video!
-
I love how positive and supportive you are. I've been getting more into the mixing and producing aspect of my music lately and I love your videos and tips and have been getting a lot of ideas from your videos, especially the pro vs beginners. Thank you so much for doing what you do. By the way, you both did awesome
