Midi*

Appreciate it. Your work and sound design is insane so thx for the compliment.

Glad I could help. You're definitely on the right track, it just takes time. Time and experimenting.

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer for sure and thank you for making these videos and the awsome music it's inspiring

@@HellKattProductions No problem! I'm glad you got some use from them and I'll keep at it.

Are you referring to the basses themselves or to some of the other elements? For other atmospheric/rhythmic elements, there's a couple of ways to do it(more explained in the next tutorial video). One way is to experiment notes and the actual rhythm of the midi notes for a particular synth. Say something like a very short attack envelope and mess around with the midi notes and their lengths to create an interesting rhythm. Another way is to use a trance gate(specifically Kilohearts' free trance gate) and to set up automation to switch between the different rhythms already there(change the gate rhythms as needed) . Anything than can function as a sort of LFO for volume works too. As for tonal stuff regarding the rhythmics, there's not too many rules other than whatever you think sounds good. Chorus, filters, flanger, phaser, ring mod, amps, any sort of distortion, and anything else you can think of is free rain basically. The only rule I'd say to follow is to but the trance gate or outside LFO last if you want it to be shorter. Longer and more atmospheric rhythmics may use delay or reverb, but put them towards the end of the effects chain so that the tails aren't processed too(unless you want that). Also, try processing different sounds, samples, and wavetables using the same effects chain and automation to see what other tones you can come up with to make the song a little more interesting. Anyway let me know if this helps or if you have any other questions.

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer like the rithmic clicks and stuff like in flesh and metal there there's like different clangs and beeps in some of the brakes

​@@HellKattProductions Off of the top of my head, the only thing I can think of is metallic like samples or synth sounds. Beeps and such are usually high pitched sine/saw waves. It's kinda case-by-case, but creating a separate audio bus and effects chain for something like a bass, then running a lot of different sounds, samples, and wavetables through it can get interesting results. Record said results, then play around with either chopping, resampling, or further process those sounds. Metallic sounds are something I could be better at so sorry for not being able to give a super direct answer. I'd recommend researching metallic sound design for better help. th-cam.com/video/EvTcHTCLRg0/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/lxliTeHyDXY/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/lfKVgULQ8WY/w-d-xo.html

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer no your good I just was curious thank you for answering ^^

Can't thank you enough for all of the support!

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer of course you deserve it your one of the most talented producers in this genre you deserve so much more attention than you have

Yes I’m working on a new Behind the Sounds video like the 1st one. I could do a video dedicated an overview of the tracks used in this song but would you rather an overview or to look at the individual synth patches and their processing? Thank you for the support and appreciate the view.

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer I think a general overview would be fine, you can also maybe show a little bit of the processing.

I honestly think this game may have something to do with Quake. Maybe seeing the Ranger halp in the fight against Hell or something. Im probably wrong but it would be cool.

Thank You! Means a lot to me and the main guitar riff definitely (isn’t) based off of E1M1 too.

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer oh really!? That's cool

Idk if i already asked this but Do you have insta?

Nah I'm a little lazy and haven't set one up yet. I probably will in the near future but when I do I'll make a community post or announcement for it. Still, can't thank you enough for the support.

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer for sure I can tell you are going to go places dude and I love your content it makes me want to try new stuff

Didn't expect to see you here but thanks. I agree the snare is a weak point and overall I would say drum design is tricky for me. Besides that, your work is killer and I love it(especially your newest works). Rock on and keep up the great work 🎸🎛

I don't have onmnisphere but for risers I pick a waveform that's interesting and put a macro on the pitch. I use that same macro on things like the detune and mix amount of some effects to evolve the sound. I also usually layer multiple risers together to make it sound full. As for basses it's kinda similar(experiment automating many different parameters to see how you cna add more movement and depth to the bass). I pick wavetables that sound interesting, drop them -1 or -2 octaves, and start seeing what happens if I move the position around. Then ill start making LFOs to give the sound movement and make a short envelope to put on the global pitch to give that initial punch attack. After that, I start messing around with the in-synth effects to see how I can further develop the sound and add more movement to it. After all those, I then start post-processing and automating.

No, but I liked the art and thought it went well with what the track was going for.

Noted. Is there anything specific that you might want to see on ambience(atmospherics, bass/automations, tension/horror elements, ect.) because I can do a small breakdown of the mix of the music used in the beginning of the video. PS Good luck on the Argent LoFi sounds interesting and I want to hear more of it.

Atmospherics and automaton probably would be the most useful, and a brake down of that track would help a lot. Oh and more of the mixing process. BTW what programs do you use and are any of them free?

Will do. Vital is a pretty good free synth and studio one has pretty good stock plugins. Other than that the free plugins from Kilohearts and Melda are good too. As I said in the vid, Current is my main synth but there are free ones on the internet(bedroomproducersblog.com/2019/10/31/free-synthesizer-vst-plugins/). OTT is another great free one. For distortion(bedroomproducersblog.com/2018/08/24/free-distortion-vst-plugins/) and for amps(bedroomproducersblog.com/2012/02/21/bpb-freeware-studio-best-free-guitar-amp-simulator-vstau-plugins/).

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer thanks I'll check em out.

Hell yea lets do it

​@@judahwyman-SwampSlayerSweet, do you use discord?

@@DarkOvus yes I go by the same name on there (swampslayer)

​@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer Sent you a friend request.

Yes its an original. This channel is dedicated for originals I make.

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer keep it up man

Late response but I believe you mean a Shepard's tone. I didn't use them but I did make around 3-4 risers all at different octaves(high one, low one that slowly fades in, atmospheric one) that build on each other to increase the tension over time. But yes you are right about what a Shepherds tones is. Thx for the feedback too.

Heavily inspired by Cultist and Doom Hunter bases(even with a similar name) but its an original track.

@@judahwyman-SwampSlayer Holy shit my guy keep that shit up man insane litaral thught it was doom

Are you truly first considering the only written proof you have of it isn't even spelled correctly?

@@spread._positivity shut up my guy your right tho

If you have a public playlist lemme hear it

Appreciate it. Fan of your works so keep up the good work too 🎸

Another BIG compliment! And I'll second that as well. This is some good shit! Keep 'em coming! 🤘🏻🔥😈🔥🤘🏻

Didn't expect to see you but a nice surprise either way. Am a fan of your works so keep it up 🎸🎹🎛

That's a BIG commitment! And this is kickass track, BTW! REALLY captures that "atmospheric vibe" of Mick Gordon's tracks. 🤘🏻🔥😈🔥🤘🏻

I might make a small breakdown if enough people want it after I get some more gear, but other than that feel free to email me if you want to talk more. Also if I do make a breakdown tell me what sections and instruments you would want to see the most.

For real its near identical to how mick does it
