Knowing this simple thing can get you to the next level. Playing in the pocket and grooving is much easier with this.

It's actually ADSR, Attack -> Decay -> Sustain -> Release.

[@fyoung]

Yeah my bad. Words are hard 😁

[@Allsystemsaredown]

Hi, I think maybe you have R and D reversed. My understanding is that Decay is the ramp down to the Sustain level and Release is the final ramp down after the sustain level. At least...that's what it is on my very old Pro One mono synth.

[@fyoung]

Oh my bad! You’re right, these two words always confuse me. But I hope my point about what it is remains clear ))

[@bjh3661]

Your definition actually makes more sense than ADSR. It should be decay last. But it's not.
The rest of your video makes perfect sense. Groove is all about envelope control.
Great video

[@fyoung]

Thanks! Maybe that's why I always confusing this terms.

The envelope is something more musicians should be taught. Us synth people learn it pretty early, but it applies to any sound.

[@fyoung]

And how big of a role envelope plays in the rhythmic aspects

[@zackorr421]

Singing behind the beat is hip.

[@fyoung]

Yes. The tightest most grooving music is when bass plays ahead, drums plays straight and leads are behind.

[@zejoaoparis]

this is what makes difficult to solo with licks going from the low E to high on a guitar. Low E always messes with my timing !

[@fyoung]

Take a look at Victor Wooten's metronome lessons. It is very helpful.
