Man, it's crazy what kind of sophisticated sounding timbres off of such simple concepts. It's like you hear a sound like the one in this video, it sounds freaking sick, and totally play a sick part in a track, and you see how almost rudimentary all of the techniques used to get to it, and it's like, man, sound design knowledge is so powerful, that level of finesse and real understanding of your tools is really something admirable.
Sometimes sound design for me can feel really repetitive, like I've come up with most of the things I can with my synths and coming up with any really revolutionary ideas for my music seems out of the question, but things like this really challenge that false idea and actually get the message to your core that there are really infinite possibilities in creativity, as easy to forget as that is, kinda profound really. Makes me think about Buddhist concepts of letting go of expectations and beginners mind.

Lots of cool stuff really is simple, it’s just knowing what you’re looking for

Yeah, man. This is a great video for a number of reasons. I know it’s a sound design video but this is what design is like in general. I’m a sound designer and a Bitwig certified trainer, but I’m also an “instructional designer” (ID) where I designer training for all sorts of companies. In the ID world, we call what you’re doing “branching”, just like in coding. You put the learner in a simple constructivist learning scenario and let them branch off into more complex areas, and have them take field notes along the way so they can get to the same point faster in the future. Again, great video, Alchemy!

[@Alckemy]

Thanks for summarizing it in a super eloquent way. I’ll be borrowing that term too^^

[@TheColourAwesomer]

Great video. I've been teaching myself sound design for a few years.
Knowing how every effect, type of synthesis, and even how sound on a fundamental level works (all while training your ear to hear the difference) takes a lot of time.
When it all starts to come together it's an amazing feeling, but certainly not something to learn overnight.
Keep up the videos, really enjoy your insight.

Great video!

[@futur_sunds]

This is an excellent video. Great idea to teach people to teach themselves. Very important

[@Alckemy]

Thanks for watching! Definitely want to inspire independence

[@TheColourAwesomer]

Also, on your last point. I think it is complex. A sine wave isn't complex, but summing many to make a saw is, for example.
When you start production, you want to make cool sounds for the bat, so it makes sense that you'd gravitate to presets, or what just works. I think trusting yourself, and letting go of your ego by just exploring is something that takes time and maturity.

All your videos are insanely interesting and smart and come with cool sound. Thanks for this kind of content. But there is one wish from me personally. The picture of the screen - it seems like there is too much contrast on it and this makes some things unreadable and hurts the eyes. Perhaps it's also a matter of resolution when recording, but this is secondary. Maybe I'm not the first to write about this. It's funny, but I noticed that because of this, I rarely watch you sometimes. Maybe it's because of the daw settings or because of post-production. But I think it's easy to fix, if it's acceptable for you

[@Alckemy]

Not really sure what to do about that to be honest, I don’t do any color correction in post because it’s just the screen. Unfortunate it detracts you from the video, I’ll consider some options

oh btw it seems sample pack store link is missing in desc.
