Great video, You definitely know what you're doing! That being said I think people who really want do dive deep into sound design can benefit from a bit more detail, for example: In your first point you talk about importing samples as wavetables in serum but you don't tell us which import mode you used. From what I can see it's definitely the FFT import mode either the 1024 or 2048 one. The way you can check for this is by looking at the shape and amount of detail in the wavetable. if you see a shape that starts of with much volume at the start of each frame and is almost completely silent towards the 2/3rd's point of the frame and towards the end of it it goes back up. The amount of detail in a table shows which import mode was used, higher detail means higher value. Second: The atmosphere you created from the vocal can also be created with a sampler capable of looping. This is useful for people who have a different DAW with different timestretch modes that might not work for this purpose. The way you can set this up is to import your sample in the sampler and turn on looping such that the loop is very small and the start 7 end points are crossfaded. Once you have set this up you can use the loop length to tune the output. Think of it as wavetable synthesis, each loop is a frame of the wavetable that is your sample. changing the starting point of the loop allows you to scroll through the sample as if it was a wavetable position knob. So to make a long texture as show in the example you import your sample and setup what I described before, then you can make a long midi note and just automate the starting position of your loop to go from 0% to 100% from the beginning to end of your midi clip, essentially stretching your sample but in a musical way as it can be tuned to the key you want! Hope this is useful for anyone...
You blow my mind in every video you make. I can't thank you enought for your work and as I said before you are the savior of music production enthousiasts.
Dash, for some reason this is one of my most favorite video's when it comes to inspiration. Even when I had a bad day today, you just made it working again and things get starting to flow again. Please share more of these 'very' inspiring video's my friend. Keep up the good work! Thanks.
Awesome! I play guitar. I still use a Digitech 2120. Your videos have opened my eyes as to how to use the LFO's and modifiers with the midi foot controller. I have basically been using it as a Preamp and FX unit. Now I look at it like a synth.
5 minutes in...very dope already, please please do more sound design vids! there's a ton of surface level info out there, but its hard to find someone who really dives into sound design (and can explain the why's and what's). just subscribed to your channel.
Man thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with us, needless to say, that you are very skilled in sound synthesis.About the sample you put on serum I have to ask you that when I try to drop a wave on serum giving me couple of options,any idea which one to use?
Top tips again many thx! The first lead vocal effect I've done something similar but with a very different approach, took a saw heavily processed it with a reverb,distortion,formant processor, glitch ,flanger and some fx i forgot and got this is a result: th-cam.com/video/yB4lmLqJKLc/w-d-xo.html You create the illusion of robotic voice but it's just a saw 😉

That sample modulated sine was brutal, definitely gonna experiment with that

One of the best types of videos. Make more of those sound design tips!
GREAT DESIGN SHOW

Man thank you always ideas out of the box !!!!!!
That sound from 5:05 is insane - sickest grimey bass music vibe.
Amazing and creative use of our samples :) Great work
A great tutorial as allways. 10:13 this technique can be used in ableton as well. But its a bit more clicks, or complecate, maybee.
Very instructive, thank you!
I’m a Ambient downtempo producer who fancied creating Pystrance and I came across your channel. Great content thank you Now a Patron
Absolutely incredible content! You communicate sound design techniques so effectively!
Always the best content! Thank you for your videos
Thank you! Much appreciated :)
@@DashGlitch I like how you stay focused and work hard towards your goal. Can you make a video about that?
@@nathanbell6962 Yeah that would be really interesting, perhaps a bit about how you keep up inspiration & motivation. Cheers! :-)
@@DashGlitch Nomadyogman and hear how to stay creative
Thank you for this
thaaaanks Glitch!!

I prefer the FFT options, experiment and see which works best with that sample 😃
at 2:50 min it seem like the synth says appelstroop,lol
i cant import on serum , only rly short things go ... what i can do ? my ram is good
how can i process in parallel in serum?
unfortunately you can't do it inside Serum, however you can use group channels to achieve something like it

17:00 "offcut" haha you work in construction??
Awesome video btw got some new ideas from this :"D
I was cutting fabric all week for the new panels 😂😂
Every time I try to use samples as FM modulators in Phaseplant my computer crashes 😭😂🤣
Maybe the sample size is too large for your current ram, maybe try a shorter sample and see if it does the same
@@DashGlitch Thanks for the suggestion, I do only have 8gb ram - most of the time it's just enough, but it does tend to push the edges a bit.
