space laces made me realize ambience is almost always the final piece missing to a finished track. simple tracks can sound so in your face and huge with background elements like sirens / high dissonant violins / sampled stabs / repeating vocals / etc etc... as long as there's anything going on in the background while the basses are not the main focus.

[@Letsynthesize]

Very true!

[@_quikmelter00_72]

You should do this but like with his entire discography

[@Letsynthesize]

Haha fair enough! :)

[@marshallholland2248]

Love analysis videos 🔥

[@Letsynthesize]

I am very glad, expect more to come!
Please comment your favourite FRESH tracks to analise!

[@VayHoz]

Nice video Dan! I love this song, and this is a great breakdown.

[@Letsynthesize]

Thanks bruh! :)

[@itsarqum8086]

Great Breakdown, could you remake the basses and the crazy leads for us Dan?

[@Letsynthesize]

Will try to give it a shot! :)

[@jonwatte4293]

The initial noise feels like a clipper on the lead, but its strength follows the chords. I wonder if it's a clipper on sum(lead+chord) maybe? Looking forward to you breaking it down and recreating it in a future video :-)

[@Letsynthesize]

I doubt it is only because of the clipper. It might be a noise oscillator in the chords preset, but it sticks out so hard, I doubt its the case. Like the noise is A LOT louder than the saw chord stack.

[@jonwatte4293]

@@Letsynthesize looking forward to the next episode :-)

[@pishachas]

sounds like a chord that has iZotope Trash with a wild distortion setting on it

[@Letsynthesize]

@@pishachas that’s another possibility too

space laces is really dubstep master cool video

[@Letsynthesize]

Yeah he is mental!

[@m10lover]

more please

[@bluntlyrose1853]

can you explain why is there so much high frequency removed by 10khz in the eq?

[@Letsynthesize]

Sure! That is a common thing when you use very heavily distorted sounds, because:
1, you don’t want to kill the listeners ears by very harsh frequencies that is created by heavy distortion
2, you need to separate the bass frequencies from the hihats (you keep the very highs for hats, and you keep the basses quite dull)
This way you can keep a nice and clean mixdown where all the instruments have their own role and place in the mix

[@is0295]

its an artifact that comes from mp3 file encoding, it helps shrink the file size by basically cutting off all the information above 16khz 18khz or 20khz depending on what encoding method you use. this works because file compression involves taking repeating information and shrinking it down.

[@Letsynthesize]

@@is0295 it’s not that, a I took the track from Spotify, it’s so high quality what the girl hears is from the artist not from the compression

[@is0295]

@@Letsynthesize thats really weird then, I wouldn’t ever use such a hard cutoff to bring the presence down. Even with linear phase its bound to cause some type of resonance. Im 80% sure its not a thing he did but i could be wrong. people do use a high cut to help with the clipping in dubstep like you were saying but thats just a really extreme cutoff.

[@Letsynthesize]

@@is0295 in neuro it’s super common to use strong cuts. So I don’t find it too weird honestly.

[@szabenedekMC]

The track is very good, but the mix master is an earrape on this one (atleast for me haha)

[@Letsynthesize]

True but I guess it is intentional
