This 'intro' to subtractive synth is better than almost all of the YT videos claiming to be 'advanced'. I've been doing production for 30 odd years and rarely do I see YT videos that make me genuinely listen. Your approach to this whole thing is fantastic - if I was a newbie I would 100% be paying for your courses.
Love feedback like this. Thanks!
how tf can you only have this few subs you're a true hidden gem
😊 awww. Spread the word, working towards that 1k subs!
@@OscarUnderdog Wait... You had below 1k subs 9 months ago and now you're at 101.000? That's crazy! More than well-deserved. Congrats!
@@_RafaelKr yeah it's been a wild ride 😂🤘
@@OscarUnderdog the video was already motivating enough. This thread was the icing on the 🎂
simple and informative - if I had this amount of information back in the mid 9os, i would have had a much different "timeline" of my life.... but better later than never.. thanks
Woww, so this must be the quality of education that I'm missing out on in the US 😂. Seriously, the teaching style is both accessible and informative.. cheers, will be keeping up with your videos!
Nice one, this is awesome encouragement 😁 Would be great to get more US viewership as well! Before you know it, we could run online classrooms in US time too!
This is the best video I’ve watched about explaining synths. Thank you for this very educational video.
Your videos are second to none, have spent many nights listening to your wisdom. Thanks for helping and sharing. Wish you all the much deserved success.
Thank you!
Be proud of you because as young person with fresh mind, you are communicating easier that anybody on YT. I bow low.
Keep doing and I am sure you will get a new students. That will be the fruit of your labor.
Cheers mate
Where were you all these years ? Best explanations ever - all videos are spot on!
Most of this is review for me at this point, but you covered in under 20 mins what it has taken me MONTHS to wrap my head around! I'm still a newb for sure, but I wish I had been able to see this presentation before I even started getting into synths. I'll be looking into more of your content for my continuing education for sure!
Hi, Oscar
(Sorry for my terrible English)
I’m total beginner and you videos are helping me to understand the synth basics. Your video about subtractive synthesis is very good.
Thank you
Wow, just wow. Thank you so much for this thorough explanation!
The BEST explanation I've come across on Subtractive Synthesis. Thank you so much, you are a great educator!
nice for russian music makers, in russia minimal synthesis schools,we are DIY )))
Love the analogy with the oscillator as that screaming guy. Nice, informative video, appreciated!
I've been wanting to get into making electronic music for years, but the learning curve have just seemed to steep for me to commit. After binging hours of your videos i've finally got the courage to get started. I just cannot fathom how I can get free access to such high quality content.
Once I get my setup ready I can assure you that i'll buy your course! Thank you!
🤗
Thanks alot for your work! It was extremly helpful! :)
Brother man… I was doing syntorial, and needed a more basic primer before going further. This is THE clearest explanation I have ever seen, thank you so much!! Even LFOs you were able to break down, I am amazed.
all your videos are incredible! thank you!!!
Incredibily well explained, thank you so much!
You're a brilliant teacher. I look forward to taking your courses .
I love the way you explain this stuff. I’ve watched tons of videos on this subject and they have never been half as effective as this. Thank you so much!
Thank you!! This is all I needed! You really helped this guy who isn’t a good reader but who gets his Information by listening and viewing stuff…you’ve really made my day! Eric
Thanks so much for this lesson. I've been trying to wrap my head around this for years I feel I finally got it. I've passed the link around to my friends learning synths cause I found your way of explaining it super easy to understand and to put into practice. Thanks Oscar, you're the man!
Man, just half way though this video and I am understanding way more than I ever have about synthesizers. I have played around with the parameters to change sounds, but not knowing what I was doing. Thanks for this video
the envelope diagram is so helpful
Great explanation :D for the longest time i had no clue what all those buttons did on a synth so... Now i get it
Great video. That was explained very well!
You're an absolutely good teacher ! I understood each and every thing very easily !! Thank you so much , I've already subscribed and now I will always wait for your every video 💟
As always, thanks for your videos!
This channel and the tips from Oscar are lectures of gold. Super helpful tips and tricks etc.
🎶✋😎🤚🎶
Thank you. You presented this info in a very easy to understand way. Great video!
Awesome explanations. Really good metaphor.
I was smiling and laughing all the time while watching your video. How can a one person explain all the important information in a clear and undestandable way for people IS FASCINATING. You are the BEST Oscar!
I have a korg workstation. These pieces often exist on different pages in the menus. I get so confused when I’m making adjustments, sometimes they don’t even change anything audibly! Having this visualization of how sound is being bused helps a lot, thank you! Love the screaming dude osc, haha.
Use Logic Pro 😊
Oscar, you're actually a great teacher.
My man, that is the type of information what I lookin for, thank you so much for that technical and easy approach to synthesis, now I can stop pushing random values with no idea and be more conscious and productive 🙏🖤
thanks Oscar! this is amazing!
What a great video! ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you that was awesome 👍👍
Glad to see this video getting some love! It's an acquired taste 😁
Really great and informative video! :)
Extremely informative
Great video as allways. You make my quarantine!!!
Gracias Maestro! Love it.

I really love it! Thank you for this clear and sharp description!
hey thank you for these kind of videos that explains the main idea what is exactly. it helps the beginners.
Very well explained as always, thanks for sharing this kind of informative audio content ! 🎯
Just got into syths and I am so happy that I found your channel. You're abilty to communicate and teach is on another level. I am definitely going to check out your classes.
This was interesting. Please make more. I had fun learning
The dude in the box is how i imagined the whole time 😮
Thanks for the intro, Oscar you my friend just became a part of the journey to some great music of the future much apricated. I will pay you back with amazing synth music ~ STARMAN
I've been producing for 4 years now, teaching myself of trials and errors and very superficial youtube videos.
But you managed to teach me precise things that will definitely give me way more tools to control my producing amd creative process ! Subscribe !
Great tutorial def one of the best channels on TH-cam
one of the best teachers i've ever had. thank you and god bless 🙌
Great introduction! The metaphors are really helping understanding the abstract concepts of synthesis!
Love this guy
LOVE IT!!!
Your Channel is pure GOLD!
⚡⚡⚡⚡⚡
Super clear and helps a lot to understand rhe basics. Thanks!!!!!
Thanks man! This helped a lot :D
Thaankyou for thiis videeooo, this is total masterpiece, I have finished the course of ableton lately but only now I understood this concept of this things, Please make more videos like this, it is a science and should be explained in a language of science which you know
the ultimate analogue oscillator
Thx man! Just perfect and on point! Helped me a lot. 😃😀✌️
Beautifully simple explanations, thank you
Thank you for your easy to understand explanation on subtractive synthesis. Know I have some knowledge to better use the yamaha reface cs mini synthesizer.
Thank you
Incredible! thanks a lot, i could understand everything so easily!
That was beautiful.
You're beautiful.
amazing tutorial!
Nice explanation. Thanks

Thank you!
this is great man
Good stuff brother thank u
AMAZING.
Blew my mind! Damn near gave my girlfriend a heart attack with my Eureka! moment! You have a great way of explaining things that many teachers here in the US fall short on.
I love u guys
I just a rev2 and it was alien but this video really helped me kinda come to grips with what im looking at.
Education at it's best!
high praise from the educator supreme 😁
Another great video offering excellent value! Well done on the deeplinking from facebook...which website did you use? 😁 👏👌
You're awesome 👌
nice one Oscar!
Youre the best
Damn i got it
Really appreciate your simplified version of this! Im curious to ask have you had any experience using Arturia Pigments? I recently purchased it as a plug in for my DAW I'm using Ableton live 11 and everything you said in your presentation I can comprehend but Pigments seems to be a bit more complexed then what I had anticipated.
Do a sound design tutorial for Boris take it smart. The rave synth that comes in at 4:12 gives me goosebumps every time.
Is the LFO always running like the oscillator, or is it triggered the moment I press a key?
It could be either one! Most LFO's have an "R" button (for "retrigger") to turn that option on or off. People disactivate Retrigger if they want to keep the sound moving organically. People activate Retrigger if they want predictable "wubs", like dubstep growls :)
Keep focus on the important things
Amazing video. How does the Filter's envelope works? So if you wanted to go from dark to light and to dark again, what Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release do you need?
start with filter at a more closed position have it open on Attack portion, as it reaches the top it will become brighter. On the decay portion it will close the filter and become darker. You can sustain your tone by effecting the sustain level, on the release portion it will close back down to the original position.
Fantastic!👌🏻 Perfect way of explaining this shit😁👍🏻
damn thank u bro
Great, thank you. but shouldn't that lower oscillator in the diagram be Oscillator 2 (you depict two oscillator 1's)
