this may seem weird, but i am dead serious.
How do you produce pop music?
What do you use to make the beats? I program drums with ezdrummer, but the beats used in pop music dont seem like traditional drums. I usually only hear a hi hat, snare and bass drum.
The "snares" usually sound like a clap, and the bass is usually an 8o8 type of bass, rather than an actual bass drum. So, i dont know how to do that. The hi hats i guess sound like hi hats, kind of. the underlying beat s very easy for me to figure out though most of the time.
Also, how are the instrument sounds produced? Sometimes i hear a guitar or piano hook, but most of the times to instruments sound virtual or synthesized. what program is used?
And also, for the vocals. The vocals in pop songs always sound heavily processed. They almost kind of sound robotic. I would have to guess its just a chorus/doubler modulation. I posted another thread concerning the "radio" effect, but im now just wondering about all the vocals in general.
Also, if you want to hear an example of what im talking about, here:

I absolutely detest that song, and i hate most pop songs. I am more of a harder rock kind of person, and most of my recordings just consist of guitar, bass, drums (ezdrummer lol), but i hear elements in pop songs that i feel i can SUBTLY incorporate into my own songs to give it some more, "substance" for lack of a better word. Nothing liek autotune or the tpain/cher vocal crap, but an occasional synth/virtual instrument passage. But still, i just want to know the production process of pop songs.
