This was the first video I have watched of anyone using DRC, after a few months of playing with it, as a 'seasoned beginner'. It was encouraging, and motivationally instructive. Thank you!
wow wow very good job! I'm discovering your channel and I love your tutorial and I will try your DRC plugin for sure. Do you have a tutorial to make a beautifully piano like for the sound of Guy Gerber - What to do (&me remix) or the piano of the Adriatique - Ray (Reincarnation)? It will so good to show us how to do a massive sound of piano. Thank you
I can't do it! such an insightful video, beautiful. But i tried like 5 times going each and every step and it sounds really different than yours. Bought the DRC and downloaded the DLYM - great instruments but for some reason something is different. Maybe from one of the other parameters you cant see in the video. Would love for a preset if anyone has it to learn what is missing. Great video Thanks!
Hi There! Thank you! Did you read this notice on the comments? this might be why! "ATTENTION: All Pre-Gain values for DRC in this video need to be lowered by 0.250. This is because this tutorial was made with an older version of DRC which had a different tuning on the saturation stage. We have corrected the values in the Ableton session." Hope this helps.
@@ImaginandoPt First of all super cool of you to answer and help. I did miss the notice. Do you mean just reduce 0.250 db in the pre gain of my DAW? (Cubase in my case). Tried it doesn't do much of a difference. I think the problem for me is somewhere in the amp envelope or something like that, you don't show that page on the video.I'm trying to nail the sound but still no luck. What am I missing now?
@@ImaginandoPt And I see you guys are from Portugal! that's amazing because I have just moved here a couple of months ago from Israel. Noe leave in Lisbon.
@@alonperetz-composer What it means is inside DRC itself on the DRC Mixer you have a Volume control and a PRE-Gain control. it is the value of that PRE-Gain that you have to change.
Did you notice how the pattern of the arpeggio changes at the end? (in the original mix). If you listen carefully, it achieves a different rhythm. could you help me achieve it?
Thank you for your sharing. I have adjusted the timbre according to your method, but I don't understand the principle. I want to modify the overall rhythm on this basis. For example, this is a triad, and if I want to play a seventh or ninth chord, the rhythm will not sound good. Can you explain your modulation principle according to this modulation method?
Hi there, and thanks for the input! If you notice carefully i'm not playing triads but actually i start with the 3rd inversion of a Cmaj7 with the C played on an octave below, so 4 notes are being played. What makes the rythm of the arpeggio sound so continuous and round is that the arpeggio is at 1/8 and the delay is an 1/8th dotted so they bounce of each other. So if you play a triad the rythm will clearly change, and you should adjust the delay on the Synth acordingly. I hope this helps!
i understand filter and modulation. But together as ' filter modulation', I don't. The parameter that you were hanging at 3.20 sounds like vibrato to me. Could you explain more on that?
On the time stamp you are refering to, i am on the page of the MOD Wheel modulation, which are assignable. You can control the filter cutoff frequency with the MOD Wheel using that parameter. Hope this helps!
Nicely done..one question in the ableton project it shows only 3 notes at the time is played (the arpeggio), but you are playing 5. can you explain why?
No problem! We found a majorly effective prompt you can tri-ad Google: "Nils Frahm says chords". Note: For optimal strategy, use the "I'm feeling lucky" button; get the shortest possible interval, the most efficient keys/fingering technique, and a diminished amount of ads!
On the video description you got a disclaimer that says: ATTENTION: All Pre-Gain values for DRC in this video need to be lowered by 0.250. This is because this tutorial was made with an older version of DRC which had a different tuning on the saturation stage. We have corrected the values in the Ableton session. Hope this helps!
"Arpeggio, oscillator, square, filter, modulation, frequency"; all these nouns/verbs are pronounced more or less perfectly, however friend, the English pronunciation is "CUToff", not "caTOFF, and "DElay" is pronounced "deLAY. Also 5.52 should be pronounced 4.57, btw. You do have a lovely, rich, voice I should add.

It means the world to us to know that our content and products are encouraging! 😊
Lovely!! I was behind this sound for months and you made my day! of course I purchased the synth, keep the good job guys, very didactic ;)
You did it perfectly, man! Thank you!
Thanks !
EPIC and thanks for the great work. Thanks for all the apps and support.
We thank you for your support. Best regards
Thank´s for this tutorial,Magic 💛
Great job emulating that sound!
How to process drums like Nils Frahm, Olafur Arnalds, Kiasmos, Tony Anderson. Any input is appreciated.
Were you able to get an answer from somewhere else? If yes, can you please share
The drums/percussion are always secondary to the synth sound design, but check out our Ableton Live projects which have some drum processing on them.

wow....awesome.
Aqui fica uma sugestão ao DRC . O arpegiator não tem a opção "By order" , isto é funcionar segundo a ordem das teclas tocadas
Thanks for your feedback and support. Best regards
Inspirational
This is the best synth on iOS I’ve bought
Thank you! 😊
@@ImaginandoPt I can get it to work with AUM or GarageBand… what am I doing wrong?
Nice one! I believe the BPM should be 150, the ARP on 1/6 and delay on 1/4 though..
oh gosh when i heard the sound at 4:45 my jaw just dropped...
Fuck yeah
Welcome to a cutoff switch.
Thank you
Comprei o synth por esse timbre e do everything in its right place. E faço questão de apoiar um dev com esse bom gosto musical 😊
Fantastic tutorial - DRC is another fave synth of mine, and Nils' sound is incredible.
Thanks for your long support Josh! Best regards
Been looking for this for a long time- thank you so much!!!
Thanks 😊
awesome!
Very good teacher !
Thank you very much for your feedback! ❤

It's the sounds of the synths we're most interested in re-creating, rather than a 100% accurate arrangement/notation, sorrry.
Very nice! (When) will the recent patches be bundled in an 'Iconic Sounds Vol. 2' on DRC? :D
This week we will be releasing a new version of DRC with a new bank! ;)
ohhhh! thanks for making my day. keep up the good work, guys!

You are a genius thanks you sir
Thank you!
Wow!
Thanks !
@@ImaginandoPt honestly, that's just so impressive. Amazing skills!
@@padraigcarroll thanks Padraig for your kind words !
THX! Great!
Ola malta da Imaginando! Muito obrigado pelos tutoriais! Que tal alguma coisa de Rival Consoles? Obrigado
Keep the awesome work!
Feito ;)
you got a new subscriber, great work!
Nice! What are the chords played? Not so easy to see.
Hi Ronny, here's what Chordify 'says' 😏 chordify.net/chords/nils-frahm-songs/says-2-chords
@@ImaginandoPt :) i see what you did there ;)
Nicely done..one question in the ableton project it shows only 3 notes at the time is played (the arpeggio), but you are playing 5. can you explain why?
Hi Joost, that is because the arpeggiator is plying through two octaves and it is actually playing 6 notes. So 3 notes over two octaves, 6 notes.
nils said it was 2 octaves arp up with C1 , G3 and Eb3 what do you think
@@jasonekratz How is it possible to do the final arpeggio? please help
Well if Nils says so, we believe him!
Would love to know the chords
No problem! We found a majorly effective prompt you can tri-ad Google: "Nils Frahm says chords".
Note: For optimal strategy, use the "I'm feeling lucky" button; get the shortest possible interval, the most efficient keys/fingering technique, and a diminished amount of ads!
I wish that artists would explain more how their process was to find/recreate a specific sound
Same here!
Which chords are you playing?

Holy shit, nailed it, thanks!
Thanks 😊
Apart from that, great job on Says!
Thanks 😊

Followed and did exactly like you, does NOT sound the same lol

Tutorial on Jon Hopkins? ha!

Seriously? If you want to help, send the man a private message. It's not about your ego.
don´t worry we undertsand ferpectly, no matter this minimun deetails. And ¨shut up¨ is correct?
It doesn't matter how you pronounce it... ;D th-cam.com/video/GhkvC7wEbMU/w-d-xo.html
