I am more a DnB person, but your videos made me try out doing some psytrance, and it is actually really fun. I will probably get more into it. I always was impressed how clean psytrance sounds, but this continuous kick never really was my thing. Learning how it is done makes it much more interesting to me. And you helped already alot with that! :)
You might enjoy making psybreaks , more groove and the breakbeat but with the same pallet of sounds and fx. Check out tracks by headflux for some good examples.
I don't think I have watched a 50 minute youtube all the way through in one sitting for almost a year - bravo for getting me through this tutorial with such ease and excellence!
Your Tutorials dont stop to amaze me!! I dont think I would be producing at my current level without them... Keep up the good the work! Keep inspiring us :DD
I don't come from psytrance usually produce techno but the video was very informative and covered everything with enough pace to get along but not to slow to get a good night sleep very nice thanks
Sometimes I think Dash will mysteriously disappear, a group of psytrance artists will arrange it, due to giving out all this almost secret information and acknowledge to the normal folk, ;)
sharing is caring.... some others also give these out, but you have to pay for them 40-60-100 bucks to download a video course... I mean, knowledge should not be only for those who can pay for it....that's why probably we can'T listen to a huge amount of top quality music, because people with talent and will, but without money to spend, they don't get to enough info, to thrive on... so what Dash is doing is really generous for sure, and others should follow... ( I know lotta psytrance youtubers give tutorials, but not more advanced, or not in such a variey of topics, with presented so simply for us to be able to understand, whatever your level is... all in all, thanks Dash! you're a hero for bedroom psytrance producers ;)
Revealing how things are done doesnt mean everyone can do it. I 'know' how a lot of this is done thanks to guys like dash, but ill be damned if i can make anything on par with his productions. Appreciate the insight though.
as only now I had time to actually watch the video properly, this song has this awesome Braincell vibe for me (I can't give a bigger compliment, as he's my all time favourite artist in any and all genre related to psy), and so I'm equally enjoying the creation part of the video and the moments when you just play back the tune... the little break into the fullon part, simply awesome. good stuff!
So basically one of the really bad habits I have from being self taught is that all the kits I made were all made wrong. well not wrong just more complex than they needed to be. I think my brain was telling me that I needed quantity over quality. After watching this again now since I started working in the studio again I have decided to delete all of my previous kits & start fresh. The best bit of advice I heard for me at least was: Per section (that the samples are being used) 1 open hat 2-3 closed hats that are short & snappy. 1 well processed snare. keep each part really simple & work on the groove with each hat over more samples.
You're so right with the snare on 2 and 4...Iit just doesn't work and throws people off but not in a good way. Maybe it's just that we're used to it and like it better that way but I think its also because it takes away from the effect of the first kick+bass that people like when it's after a short transition for example when youre taking kicks and other elements out. Even worse imo is that after that on 2 it feels like something is missing
For me it's the phrasing that it ruins - sure some people might get muddled in the 4 to the floor kick, but having a snare at the start of a phrase is really unsettling.
Traditionally a snare backbeat is on 2 and 4. The backbeat often compliments a basic pattern with the kick on 1 and 3. It sounds normal because there's a lot of popular music with a backbeat at some point during the song.
@@anthonyclark9004 I think the emphasis on the 2&4 or even on the off beat might have existed in stuff like polka music and fast marches before that. Though some of that was in 2/4. I’m not a musicologist, so I’m still learning too
Sorry Dash, I forgot to ask, are these percs all centred or have you panned some? Or have you widened some? That mix has so much space and clarity , I mean I can hear everything, there's no masking at all,, kudos to you dude
Hey mate, a question, do you actually on cubase eq for your releases? I notice you use them with tutorials, cubase eq gets a bad rap from a lot of users, what do you think Dash?
Well Cubase EQ apparently has the same FabFilter algorithm, so those people are talking shit imho :) I only use others when I need minimum phase control or more bands or M/S
hi dash, can i ask where you sourced that cinematics sliced hits loop from? also any recommendations for bongo type loops? i usually make my loops from single hits but would be cool to find some decent loops to use to layer etc too, cheers mate, awesome vid :)
Putting the snares on 2 and 4 is basically syncopation on a bigger scale compared to an open hat for example. You're not going to put your open hat on the beat, so you shouldn't put your snare on 1 and 3. If that makes sense...
@@ylonmc2, the upbeat is the final beat of the bar. From Wikipedia: Syncopation is a musical term meaning a variety of rhythms played together to make a piece of music, making part or all of a tune or piece of music off-beat. More simply, syncopation is "a disturbance or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm": a "placement of rhythmic stresses or accents where they wouldn't normally occur".[1] It is the correlation of at least two sets of time intervals.[2] Syncopation is used in many musical styles, especially dance music: "All dance music makes use of syncopation, and it's often a vital element that helps tie the whole track together".[3] In the form of a back beat, syncopation is used in virtually all contemporary popular music.

Listening to my favourite genre and learning at the same time. Loving it.
love hearing about the basics and fundamentals, thanks dash!

Another alternative on kick-snare transients would be pushing the snare 1-2ms forward with track delay... Thank you for one more great video, Dash!
Really useful video here. Thanks for taking the time to put these together!
That DOES make sense. Very good video Dash! Thank you!
a wicked trick with the snare transient 👍🏻 thanks - I have trouble with that exact issue
I love the energetic drum, percussion solos, in tracks!
Well done brother.

Great stuff. Always good to hear the basics again.. plus I learnt a load of new stuff! Nice one :)
thanks dude for this info have a nice day psytrance love and peace out!
Wow, you're giving away gold! Epic content as always!
As a dj listening to the 1 3 drum was the same as the 2 4 drum I was just counting it wrong because 2 4 is such a standard through out genres

thank you! excellent walkhrough, lots of things to take away rom this and put into practise. cheers
So nice bro really enjoyed the tutorial as well as the sound
Excellent video man. Thanks a bunch!
It is true that I am on a google translator, but very positive knowledge. I really like it. :)
nice tip on the Decimort. Go Thomas Penton percussion sample pack.
Exact I was searching for! Thanks 😍
awsome class dash!!!!
Very nice! Learned a lot! Thanks
Thank you very much!
Nice!
How do you get this creaky sound (for example in the synth at 6:35)?
I love that one
Thank U Thank you Thanks THank YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
Btw last week i listend to your old album "higher definition" and it is amaizing🤩🤩🤩
I remember when i ask for the hi hats video like a year ago, thank you so much dude 🙏
Just what I needed for my project !
Your great, I love your content, thank you again for these amazing tutorial videos!
Snare definitely on 2 and 4
I could really hear the difference
Thanks a lot ! Awesome guide !
Glitch, you are the Man!
Love your content! Learned already so much from you!
I'm only 8 minutes in but that tune sounds awesome proper banger
Thanks!
There is a plug in called transient shaper it's really useful for the snare
You're a fucking blessing my dude, big love from the murky forests of sweden
bro i learned so much from you thxxx
The snare on the 1 and 3 would create some confusion and probably sound weird in the mix. Glad you did it the normal way, on the 2 and 4
For me it's the phrasing that it ruins - sure some people might get muddled in the 4 to the floor kick, but having a snare at the start of a phrase is really unsettling.
loving your cnannel. only found it a few days ago. Thanks for the great videos
Thank you dash
Anybody can do what you do for us
Nice one.. Keep the good work up! ;)
Pretty good tutorial 👍
Nice Tutorial❤
But also how to produce this clean gnarly lead🤩?
Traditionally a snare backbeat is on 2 and 4. The backbeat often compliments a basic pattern with the kick on 1 and 3. It sounds normal because there's a lot of popular music with a backbeat at some point during the song.
Since the 1950's, yes.
Before that things were a little more... freeform :)
@@Jack_Rivet Thank you. I did not know that.
@@anthonyclark9004 I think the emphasis on the 2&4 or even on the off beat might have existed in stuff like polka music and fast marches before that. Though some of that was in 2/4.
I’m not a musicologist, so I’m still learning too
Snare on 1 and 3 can work as an intro and/or some breakdown into a new section, but main groove works better with accents on the backbeats, 2 and 4.
May I ask. Where did you get that trance lead sound from? I use Spire, Phase Plant, Nexus and Halo 2. Acid V is on my wishlist as well.
I made this one, I think it was in Serum using the formant filters
Hey Dash where do you find the loop cinematic sounds really good 🎵 thanks for the tutorial 🙂
amazing!!! thanks for that!!
Youre Amazing, Thank you ❤️
Sorry Dash, I forgot to ask, are these percs all centred or have you panned some? Or have you widened some? That mix has so much space and clarity , I mean I can hear everything, there's no masking at all,, kudos to you dude
Not at this point, I will usually pan some stuff a bit, esp like alternating pans on the aux snares - but that is up to taste :)
@@DashGlitch thanks for yr replies mate, from a Cape Town born living in Australia ;)
Thank you for adressing the open hat EQ first, that thing sounds pretty bad in even alot of established psy artist's tracks to my ears.
Nice 👌🏻
Dash have you made a guide on how to make the lead you showcased in the intro of this video? Cheers!
Hey mate, a question, do you actually on cubase eq for your releases? I notice you use them with tutorials, cubase eq gets a bad rap from a lot of users, what do you think Dash?
Well Cubase EQ apparently has the same FabFilter algorithm, so those people are talking shit imho :) I only use others when I need minimum phase control or more bands or M/S
👏
So coooooooooooool 😎👌🏻
i feel like the difference between the good and bad samples is the steep of the low cut the people who made them use.
WOW PERFECT ✌🏻❤️
snares or claps = dual face slaps
closed hat = machine gun needles
open hat = single slap in the face
it always makes sense lol ;-)
Thanks =)
hi dash, can i ask where you sourced that cinematics sliced hits loop from? also any recommendations for bongo type loops? i usually make my loops from single hits but would be cool to find some decent loops to use to layer etc too, cheers mate, awesome vid :)
This Thomas Penton pack has got some good ones I've used often, otherwise I go to Loopcloud

Not a psycore fan but these drums always amaze me, thought i'd share this here
You can just delay the snare 2ms and then you'll get the best of both worlds right. Any reason not to do that?
What lead are you using here? Do you have tutorial for sounds like this lead?
Yes, check my "croaky lead" tutorial :)
Putting the snares on 2 and 4 is basically syncopation on a bigger scale compared to an open hat for example. You're not going to put your open hat on the beat, so you shouldn't put your snare on 1 and 3. If that makes sense...
It's not syncopation, it's called backbeat. Syncopation is when an instrument rests on an upbeat. Like the open hihat does on this video.
@@ylonmc2, the upbeat is the final beat of the bar. From Wikipedia: Syncopation is a musical term meaning a variety of rhythms played together to make a piece of music, making part or all of a tune or piece of music off-beat.

Wow😍
The stuff you did with the snares is sort of a breakbeat
ok so , after almost 2 years, I've have a question .. if you want to remove the low end, why not using a 48db or 72db filter instead of 18/24? Wouldn't it be more "precise" ?
More chances youll cause shifts in phase because of the steep slope, might still be ok and you can do it in linear phase, but thats my thought
great video man, is it be possible to use trackspacer sidechained to the kick on the snare, and get simililar results?
Just tried it, It works just as good!
@@tomax2578 sure, it may be more adaptive than just tweaking the envelope but in some cases that may sound more musical

at 2:40 there are some kind of impacts in the drop. Do you know exactly what that is called? I already googled 'impact rolls', but couldn't find anything ...

Yea
snares on one and 3 for dance? eww
