His tunes can be very complicated and anything but simple, but he doesn't overload them with sounds. But pretty much every track has some very creative use of effects on it. He is clever at maintaining clear spaces in his mixes though, easy for things to get super muddy with all that distortion, delay, verb etc. He loves to abuse parallel compression in a creative way too, and manages to do it without making it sound like a trick just for loudness. Really digging his stuff right now.
No, it's combining the dry signal with a compressed version such that the original character isn't taken from the initial sound. It's commonly achieved using a return channel
it's not overally complicated tbh I mean granular synthesis is literally just fucking around with different parameters, but it's how me makes it so organic and not sterile in the drum section that is crazy
@@robadams6173 even thought granular is a huge part of the mixtape, he uses a lot of FM and crazy shit to get unheard of stuff. +I bet u never knew what granular was before that album. It's never about difficulty, always about innovation.
+Blair Perreau soundcloud.com/ben-warden/melbourne-bangers-vol-2-free not sure, about that but maybe Flume was meaning the Melbourne Bangers idk haha just trying to help.
This is awesome because I listened to his hyper paradise remix and knew how to make that chord sound. I remaked the song too. Anyone want me to upload the project to my channel?
what's that sound in literally the very first second before flume's song starts in the intro? I only want a description of that sound, or a song/sound of something similar
I agree less is more. But dont be afraid of complicated either. Selling records doesn't make you a "great artist". Brian Eno is a brilliant example of making complicated work. Flume does not hold a flame to that creative wildfire. The "simple" easy way out isnt showing creative ability but it sells records. Pick your pill.

That's because samples are pre recorded sounds that you only need to chop and add effects to. So the more you have the more you are going to be able go choose from. When it comes to synthesizers however you have to learn how to use them all individually, so it's better to just know how to use one synth perfectly instead of kind of knowing how to use all of them. There's no cons to having a lot of samples as long as your files are organised, because they're just samples. It's the same as having more keys on a keyboard. It's better because you have a larger dynamic range. You don't need knowledge on those individual keys... Uhh.. why am I even explaining this 😅
In addition to what everyone else said, he meant to have more samples to *choose* from, not use. It's like having a larger menu to order from at a restaurant.
Literally the only person i would want to go to a concert to see.

Joe Lucey which synth does he uses
can you elaborate a bit more on parallel compression plz?
What is parallel compression? Using two compressors on one sound?
No, it's combining the dry signal with a compressed version such that the original character isn't taken from the initial sound. It's commonly achieved using a return channel
I will never get compression in general. That's the only thing in production that still has me a little confused. Lol.
Don't put to much into your song.
*Flume drops Hi this is Flume, where every sound is unheard and complicated*
it's not overally complicated tbh I mean granular synthesis is literally just fucking around with different parameters, but it's how me makes it so organic and not sterile in the drum section that is crazy
he uses tons of samples too
flume innocence is 3 loops from SP lmao

Why does it say "this video is not available"?
Grade flume
what's that sound in literally the very first second before flume's song starts in the intro? I only want a description of that sound, or a song/sound of something similar
can we purchase this online? or is what is available here on youtube the full thing?
I still wanna know to this day
Wait I think everyone had his track open. Is there anyway I can get his track files?
humilde
what are those speakers called with the yellow thing??
the brand is Rockits. Go to speakers for house production because they are bassy but not really proper studio monitors.
Milo Fisher
alright, cheers
Ben Williamson KRK VXT
+80freak Those are rokits not VXTs. VXTs have paler colored cones.
Flume is... CUTE!!!!
You are cute
@@loota_ You are cute
Song title please!
Why it says that the video is not available????!!!!!!?!?!?!?!
Because in your country is not available,here in colombia happens the same

Brian Eno is a bum nobody!

Thanks for the tips skrillex yew aer sew gewd
I like the music but wish it wasn't playing in the background of the video
'less is more'..........................'the more samples the better'...........
he said he's gonna contradict himself....real producers wl get the point
That's because samples are pre recorded sounds that you only need to chop and add effects to. So the more you have the more you are going to be able go choose from.

qt
'make them better' ahaha as if
when he says get a synthesizer, does he mean a physical one?
WHY IS NO ONE TAKING NOTES?!?!!
Hot man doing awesome music? Uhm.. Marry me maybe?
no
haha
No
begone
Remember less is more....but the more samples the better HMMMMMMM WHAT
like don't overload your tracks with random stuff, but have a ton of samples on hand for inspiration and versatility
