Alan walker wrote Fade in just 2 years of learning?

But the thing is...he also had to learn a DAW....how synths work etc......

I won't ask how is this possible......but.......i'm just in awe.


Wikipedia

In 2012, Walker was listening to a song by Italian DJ David Whistle (also known as DJ Ness) and reached out to him to find out how he produced his music. He was inspired by EDM producers K-391 and Ahrix, and by film composers like Hans Zimmer and Steve Jablonsky.[8] He started producing his music on his laptop using FL Studio. In July 2012, with the help and feedback from his fans online, he began pursuing his music production career and slowly began posting his music to YouTube and SoundCloud. Started as a bedroom producer, he was better known as DJ Walkzz before signing a record deal and releasing his debut single in 2014.

Walker released the track "Fade" on 17 August 2014

It's actually called "Faded", heard it before, an excellent track. Learnt to produce a song like that in 2yrs. Wow!

There's an earlier version called 'Fade' that was released prior to the reworked mainstream version:

and to be fair, it is impressive for 2 years of experience

That's not all that surprising to be honest.. it's pretty formulaic really.. it's only got like 3 distinct parts.. simple synth melody, a cool drum roll, a few filters, pumping compression and the added vocal..

it's painful and at least embarrassing to relate this in 2020. Prepare popcorn anyway.

not meaning to talk it down, because the song works as what it is, but its as textbook as it gets. focus on using the most basic harmonies and progressions, rhythms and structures as well as sound presets and a bit of sidechain compression and you can absolutely learn to make this within 2 years.

But put it all together, like a cake innit, just works with all the right ingredients. I wonder how much he's made from his music, probably a millionaire?

I heard this song was made or the basic idea in 30 minutes

time has nothing to do with making a hit it's about making something that touch a lot of prople
