@@Alice-Efe Hey Alice, I bought Atlas and the sound quality is absolutely stunning! Next time I'd be willing to pay a lot more money if you do something like this but with presets for Pigments, Serum or whatever synth is used by many of us because for me the main challenge is to understand how you build those layers. Love your work :)
@@Redemption808 Thank you! I will probably do something like that in the close future. Main problem with this one was I used a lot of external gear (not that it matter so much but I was thinking it could be nice for the people qho bought it). So it wasnt possible to include project files. But next time, I will probably just use pigments to make them all with Ableton FX so you have also project files.
For anyone trying to do this in Vital, it's a little different - you have to leave phase randomization at zero and assign the RAND key modulator to the phase of both OSCs, at 100%. (not Rand1 or Rand2, it's the RAND in the lower right corner). Everything else is the same, except there's no shortcut to remove the fundamental so you have to do it by hand (2nd partial from the far left on the top row of the wavetable editor, drag it to zero) Apparently Vital doesn't synchronize phase randomization between OSCs like Serum does, so you get inconsistent phase coherence on each note (aka phasey/weak/inconsistent bass) unless you do it this way - but this method produces the exact same results. This video was a total game changer for me, thank you so much Alice!🤩
hi thanks so much for this, i don't have serum. just to confirm, do you set phase to 0 and then assign phase of both oscillators to RAND at 100% modulation? or do you leave it at 180 phase and then make the modulation bipolar? or does it not matter... my guess is it doesn't matter, as the reason you're doing this is just to make sure both oscillators are at the same phase at all times so we don't get phase cancellation whilst maintaining the panned bass? thank you:))
@@EPHEM11To get this effect, just leave one oscillator's phase at 0 and then tweak the other oscillator's phase until you find a sweet spot where the 2 oscillators sum together in a way you are happy with for the song. As long as RAND is modulating the phase of both oscillators by the same amount, the phase coherency will stay the same from note to note and you'll get a consistent sound. If you leave them both at zero, they will always be the same and won't make a stereo sound, so it's necessary to change the phase of one of the oscillators
@@Rzn8B58 The fundamental isn't necessarily always going to be the tallest column in the wavetable editor, but it will always be the 2nd column from the far-left, in the upper harmonic editor (the column on the far left is volume - I'm not sure why they designed it this way) - just remove that/turn it down to zero and you'll be left with all the harmonics but no fundamental. Personally I like to use a 2nd instance of Vital to have a sine wave sub on a dedicated track
Go for feeling, leave mixing for later. Dont get stuck on anything too long. Leave the track alone for a while or do sound design, search for samples, keep moving.
let me say something you need to know: Your bass has a better image for mixing than Marks. That's it. You nailed it. That's why it is fundamental to study the basics of synth sound design! Perfect trick.
Great, as usual, thanks! Dumb question about the first one - we start off splitting out the bass to stereo, then spend a bunch of later steps trying to bring it back more mono. Why not just leave it more mono in the first place?
I’m guessing so that you are able to have more of the highs out in the stereo field for separation while leaving the core bass fundamental straight up the middle and not out of phase? That’s what I took from her vid… which seems to make perfect sense… and yet I know I will mess it up again and again anyway 😅
Random makes the sound more dynamic. Given that we want the "top" layer to be autentic and stereo. As we removed the fundemental from top layer and sub is already mono, there is really no need to make the top layer more static and robotic by taking away random.
Really cool, learned a lot. ^^ Thank you. There are a few songs, that i also find really interesting in how they got produced. Its beyond other sounds and it really makes we wonder how they could achieve that. One is Aurora (DJ IBON Remix) and the other is Mikkel Rev - Amneo. The second one is actually more interesting, because basically all of the instruments are so subtle but still give out everything that is required to make it a "sound" ^^. I find it unbelievable how everything adds up together. For me this is art. And the first one i find so interesting because it has crazy reverb effects. It sounds like there is an insane reverb over every single instrument, still the song never sounds too messy. And for whatever reason all those reverb effects dont come into each others way. Bass has reverb, kicks have reverb, hihats have reverb, BG noise has reverb. And everytime big amounts too. Its a mistery how those songs got produced. Maybe someone else picks up on my curiousity and talks about how those songs are made. Maybe just a few of the instruments. THat would be really cool ^^ PS: both songs shoud be listened to with headphones, theres an endless amount of subtle stuff in.

Hi Alice, i'm following your Channel long time. You've always very interesting and helpful content. You are getting more pro every time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Love your channel ❤
since you remove the fundamental from the wavetable, why not adding more unison voices into a one OSC with constant phase closed Randomization. and that would do super great. specially if you add some hyper and some multiband compressor from the Serum FX. but I get the Idea of showing off here on TH-cam, everyone keeps saying magic and super-secret tricks. while actually there's no such thing
I really like your videos and appreciate your hard work, the contents of your videos are great! One thing which i don't understand is that the videos always consist of so many fast and hectic cuts / text changing and a lot of effects. It feels like it is in timewarp. This makes me hard to concentrate on the content.
I really like your videos (subscribed long ago 😇) and you have so much great knowledge that everyone can benefit from. I just wish that this focus on being "pro" would stop across all youtube music production videos. It make it seem like music is some kind of game or competition to get to the top. But of course it is so much more than that.
This great thanks…i don’t really wrap my mind around fundamentals yet but i get that you remove harmonic therefore creating more of unified pitch, meaning the same root note on different octave, is this right?
Most club and festival PA systems nowadays are all stereo. Long gone are the days when it was mono mono mono haha. Smartphones... everything is stereo nowadays. Although it's still good to put a high pass filter on your sides below 90/100 hz. It would just sound weird if your bass is popping out from the sides any lower than that unless that's your idea of course.

You are not the first to show that. I've seen this in a tutorial by Sinee and I have commented it at a video by Zen World - Evolution Of Sound. Title of the video: The Truth About The SUB BASS. Date: 2023-12-23. That being said: Thank you for talking about it. If the music that is being produced sounds better, every listener wins.
I made a short about it in 2022. th-cam.com/users/shortsXsMn5Jo0wJY?feature=share I think I also shown it in a long video in 2021. I don’t want go through all the videos now. I remember I accidentally ran into it while making wavetables back then. That being said what is more unique in the video was manual phase shifting 2 oscillators and panning them again manually and then removing fundamentals to create stereo image rather than using unison.
That MRAK trick is great! I already knew about it... I believe Dash Glitch might have discussed it, which is probably where I got the idea. It really does help to separate out the fundamental in these situations.
I have to say your stuff sounds really good. I believe most stuff can be done with just eq, reverb and compressor… Different ways to achieve the same :)
are eq8 linear phase capable? ive been doing a little poking around about cutting bass without using linear phase EQs and even changed my project template to all pro q3 doing the cuts on the groups and i can tell a dif in the end phase results
6 หลายเดือนก่อน
Its easyer if you just use bx_shredspread in any sound with stereo problems if will fix it and still sound great. No need to mess around with synthesis
Vital is similar and just as capable, even a little more powerful, and it's free - check out my other comment about how to do this same technique in Vital
very cool the pro part from the first base, i learend some new stuff, with the phase to bring one the sides, but isnt it better for the contro, to make the random level of the phase to zero?
with the first bass. the sub is ofc mono compatible but with the random phase still on and the waveforms out of phase and not completely hard panned left to right. Is the character off the bass which is mostly in the saw wave not gonna cancel out inconsistently when collapsing into mono? cuz the phase changes every note and the phase position is opposite of each other?
yes I find the same issue, this method is not effective at all. the results are too random. one effective way is to search for the sweet spot and just bounce it to audio :p
yo I found out how to achieve a good result. just take the same approach as in the tutorial, but make two separate tracks in your daw out of the process. one track for the sub oscillator and one for the saws in stereo :) the image in ozone is stable as fudge now
I'm quite sure I "saw" a video showing something very similar to the first big secret you enthusiastically showed, published like 2 years ago; it also mentioned your channel, as it was basically a different take on something you were showing at the time. Yes, it's from a very small channel, maybe you missed it.
when the girls have it all sorted out - they become much more meticulous at everything they do than guys - in other words girls can do everything guys do - even oil rigs or road potholes or fire fighting or hunting for any kind as long as they have it all figured out, organized and finally sorted on how its done - girls power at its best!
Mostly yes, but not the "remove fundemental" part. What you can do is just downloading Vital and removing fundemental on their wavetabe editor. Than exporting the wavetable from Vital and importing into Ableton wavetable afterward. Then using that wavetable for top layers. That should work 😊
Dear Alice. I study your videos a lot and much appreciate your work. Thank you very much!! I have a question regarding pos. 5:05 th-cam.com/video/M4UfZ8YEZ7w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=9-pnP_xNf1MLRW5T&t=305 in this video - the all together part where one can see the complete arrangement. What I assumingly see are four midi tracks with the same octave bass arppegio (blue), a kick audio track (green) and another percussive audio (light green) (and some folded tracks...). But what do I hear? I'm hearing a kick and one bass track - the one you showed. I'm not even sure if the bass is side chained. If it is its done surprisingly subtle because the low-end of the bass and the kick will overlap. Is it multiband side chained? Where do you low cut the bass? Why does the mix of these two work when kick and bass hit a the same time? So could you please reveal what we're hearing in comparison to what we're seeing? many questions. Sorry :) Sincerely.
Hi! I is only one of the channel is actually active. Because we made 3 different versions you see all the versions on the playback but only the last one is playing. There is also a significant sidechain on it, you can hear it around 4:15. If you want to download the project file and take a look at it, you can check my Patreon. Hope this helps!
Yes, and not so drastically either. Eq is too steep on the low end IMO. This is why i like Frequency 2 in Cubase, you can take any frequency of a sound and have it move to the side only when you want another sound in that frequency range to take center stage, or vice versa. This way you dont loose the mono of the bass in the rest of track, but it lets the kick shine through.
@@Alice-Efeplease don't stop. I just discovered your channel and was very impressed with this video. You packed a huge amount of very useful information into a short space of time, and I'm looking forward to learning lots more stuff from you. I have been somewhat stuck in a rock format for many years, but I'm finally allowing myself to go back to using electronic sounds as I did in the 1990s. I have a lot to catch up on, so if the rest of your videos are of this calibre I'm going to be looking at them for some time to come. One thing that confused me with this one, though, was the rolling bassline in the first example. The MIDI data showed alternating eighth-note octaves, but the rhythm of the sound didn't seem to match that. Was that the result of a dotted delay or something along those lines?
Hey Alice, I first learned how to complete the bass sound design by removing the fundamental from your previous video, but even then unison didn't always give the sound I wanted. This is a game changer :) Nice tips
Outstanding tip Just wanna know if there is a way of performing the first one in pigments as there is no pan knob on the oscillators Thanks a ton for your videos
Yeah I’m stuck in Pigments myself as that is my primary sound design tool (I’m a weirdo that never purchased Serum and went with Pigments / Vital / Zebra instead lol)… if you have found a good answer for a Pigments solution, please let us know 👍🏻

Hi! I is only one of the channel is actually active. Because we made 3 different versions you see all the versions on the playback but only the last one is playing.
There is also a significant sidechain on it, you can hear it around 4:15.
If you want to download the project file and take a look at it, you can check my Patreon.
Hope this helps!
@@Alice-Efe great. Now I get what we're seeing. Thank you so much!!
Low cut on the side only!
Yes, and not so drastically either. Eq is too steep on the low end IMO. This is why i like Frequency 2 in Cubase, you can take any frequency of a sound and have it move to the side only when you want another sound in that frequency range to take center stage, or vice versa. This way you dont loose the mono of the bass in the rest of track, but it lets the kick shine through.
Great tips :) And thanks for being pretty, too🍓

Awesome video as always! Keep up the great work, you are a blessing to this community!
Thank you! I will do my best to keep posting. 😊
@@Alice-Efeplease don't stop. I just discovered your channel and was very impressed with this video. You packed a huge amount of very useful information into a short space of time, and I'm looking forward to learning lots more stuff from you. I have been somewhat stuck in a rock format for many years, but I'm finally allowing myself to go back to using electronic sounds as I did in the 1990s. I have a lot to catch up on, so if the rest of your videos are of this calibre I'm going to be looking at them for some time to come. One thing that confused me with this one, though, was the rolling bassline in the first example. The MIDI data showed alternating eighth-note octaves, but the rhythm of the sound didn't seem to match that. Was that the result of a dotted delay or something along those lines?
Hey Alice, I first learned how to complete the bass sound design by removing the fundamental from your previous video, but even then unison didn't always give the sound I wanted. This is a game changer :) Nice tips
Outstanding tip
Just wanna know if there is a way of performing the first one in pigments as there is no pan knob on the oscillators
Thanks a ton for your videos
Yeah I’m stuck in Pigments myself as that is my primary sound design tool (I’m a weirdo that never purchased Serum and went with Pigments / Vital / Zebra instead lol)… if you have found a good answer for a Pigments solution, please let us know 👍🏻
