MIDI Pop Guitar: A Start to Finish Tutorial

🎦 SEE HOW I RECREATE 'MY UNIVERSE' HERE: https://bit.ly/myuniversedeconstructed In this Music in Minutes episode, I wanted to share with you my creative process on how to create a MIDI pop guitar from start to finish. Since many of us producers are working in the box with access to many realistic libraries and plugins, I wanted to share an in-depth tutorial on how to optimally use these resources, without needing an actual guitar. Specifically, this tutorial aims to provide you with the knowledge to improve your MIDI melodies, humanize your guitar rhythms, and mix a dry guitar sound to get a modern pop tone (including 80s and hiphop variations). 💿 DOWNLOAD FREE FLPs: https://bit.ly/freeflps TIMESTAMPS 0:00 Intro 0:52 Introducing the guitar sound 2:14 Enhancing and humanizing MIDI 7:13 Strumming and applying keyswitches 9:16 Filtering and reverb 10:45 Adding character to the sound 12:14 EQ corrections and stereo imaging 14:28 Delay and reverb sidechain trigger 16:18 80s chorus and retro hiphop guitar 17:36 A/B-ing: Before and after processing 17:58 Outro ▶️ BINGE WATCH MY ‘HOW THE ARTISTS MADE IT’ SERIES HERE: https://bit.ly/8oeightplaylist ▶️ SEE MY 'MUSIC IN MINUTES' TUTORIAL SERIES HERE: https://bit.ly/musicinminutesplaylist If you extracted any value from this video, I’d appreciate your support by liking the video or clicking any of the links below!
