    leave it to slynk to constantly remind me how little I know about my DAW! lol, sick video, gave me some great ideas!

    So glad I found your channel mate. You explain everything in a “down to Earth” manner, like you speak to us like we are normal people unlike a lot of DAW tutorial video uploads where the people “teaching” seem to speak down to the viewers as if they know they’re better at using the software than than the viewers and it can be really annoying and off-putting. Not you though sir. I love your videos and have watched most many times. I’ve defo learned a lot about Ableton I’d still be unaware of now if I hadn’t found your channel.
    Big thanks mate.
    Respect ✊

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments! Some of you have pointed out that the microphone audio is too quiet or needs to be de-essed. I've been working towards a solution for this. Next video I'll be recording 1440p @ 60fps with dual audio channels so I can edit the microphone audio and the Ableton audio independently. Stay tuned & please subscribe for my next video :)

      +yogibear2k10 in my opinion, having a midi keyboard is absolutely essential for music production in Ableton or any other Digital Audio Workstation. They are cheap and save you a lot of time.

    • @Slynk
      @Slynk  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +yogibear2k10 the pads thingy is called an Ableton Push 2. It's a specially designed all purpose midi controller that integrates with Ableton seamlessly. It's very nice if you come from a background of using MPCs or you hate using a computer keyboard and mouse and like to get more hands on with music. It's flashy, convenient and expensive as fuck. You will be 100% fully capable of writing great music without it. But they are pretty fkn cool.

    • @Slynk
      @Slynk  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      +yogibear2k10 by the way, the midi keyboard I use is the Korg Microkey. It was like $150.

      Here’s two other cheaper recommendations for MIDI, if your still looking. It depends what you’re going for, but at the very least semi weighted keys are quite nice, that’s what I prefer..
      here’s the links for further exploration:

      yogibear2k10 late reply but check out
      www.akaipro.com/products/keyboard-controllers/mpk-mini-mkii
      At $99 It's one of the most affordable midi controller out there. It's super compact. Has piano keys and 8 drum pads. All customizable. Comes with it own extra software too. Any DAW u decide on will work with it.
      Save ur money and time focusing on making beats. This and a laptop is pretty much all I need.

  • @dantei.9661
    @dantei.9661 5 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    Incredible, I didn't expect such a crazy outcome from basic sine wave, it's very inspiring. It perfectly shows how much power there is in stock plug-ins that people are unaware of.

    This is exactly the kind of tutorial I was looking for, really easy to understand and exactly what I was looking to do. Saved me countless hours of messing around on my own and given me a great head start. Randomly popped up on my feed, the god of the DAW's smiled upon me today!

    that was seriously insane man, thank you for the demo, ive been using simpler and had not thought to add the arpeggiator in front, some serious sounds there, going to watch a few times and also work with simpler thank you again for your time and sharing what youve learned.. excellent video..rock onnnn..

  • @MonsterDubClub

  • @dallas-cole
    @dallas-cole 5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Excellent channel. I am on my second video in a row, and already can say that you have sick pedagogic abilities man. In a world where making a tutorial always implies to assume that is for rookies, you explain clearly without losing time on assuming you speak to such unexperienced folks.

  • @bezio_max
    @bezio_max 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Woah dude. 10 years into Ableton and would have never thought about this. Really makes me question my brain lol and for that I'm super grateful. ✊️

  • @enildemday5294
    @enildemday5294 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    pretty deep knowledge, this ableton is full of options and each musician is diggin his own path! I use it a very different way but my music is also very different.

  • @quetzecoatl9924
    @quetzecoatl9924 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you SO MUCH for your channel. I'm going to Portland Community College, learning the basics of Ableton and the Push 2. I'm more familiar with Logic Pro X and Analog Synthesis, so the way you break everything down is perfect. I feel so bad for asking such convoluted questions in a classroom setting, so hearing the full extent is a blessing. Godspeed, sir!

    If you like that sine-wave craziness, you should check out Mick Gordon's lecture on how he made the Doom 2016 OST. The signature bass sound of his is a sine wave, and he uses sidechaining feedback as a way to generate a call/response with the huge bass!
