This guy… single handedly creating a whole new category of sound designing. Monoliths. Mark my words, this is beginning of whole new era of sound design. This is so Au5, it’s basically Au6.
Nice Try ! KOAN sound uses this approach with their Reese's for Years now and the concept of hocketing is from somewhere around the middleages , so unless au6 is a timetravleler (which might be *thinkingemoji*) , he didnt invent it. So lets just be cool and stop overmarket pls :D. So Au5 can stay Au5. Anyways thanks for sharing
Great video! I actually think it's good to do this with samples for the crazy choppy parts but also use an actual patch for more specific modulation so you're not limited. Know what I mean.
Nuh-uh, Amon Tobin and BT or even Aphex Twin are the GOATs, this guy is... using samples to make complextro stuff lol. And I'm not even going into Hybrid territory, who tactfully blend orchestration and electronic music elements. I hate how americans are praising "bass music" producers as pro sound designers. Automation is not the endall meetall of creative sound design lol.
@@sauvagemusic1844 bass music producers literally are pro sound designers, they make money off of their sound designs. These subjects become very simple once u get rid of all the elitist posturing
@@benjamindover8221 Cool! So do all the people I mentioned in my previous comment :). Bass music doesn't foster inherently good sound design people. Au contraire, I'd argue because it is the gateway edm sub genre for most, a lot of it is not good at all in terms of objective production and sound design criteria (dynamic range, stereo placement, chord progression, timing, percussion design). And since the dawn of streaming platforms, it's become even worse, for all electronic genres even.
I've done this exact same technique several times for the past 4 years, except I mess around with it as a long clip in the playlist instead of loading it into a sampler. I can confirm it REALLY is a flow inducer, really recommend this to everybody
I'm realizing just how cool this is. Bass music is one of those things that's hard to "jam" like you would with guitars or keyboards. But this basically fixes that. You don't even have to use the jam as your final sound! Once your idea is down, you can replace the sampler with some intentionally sound designed basses if it doesn't sound good enough on its own. You are DOPE, Au5!
Oh hey I've been using this technique for a long time! It's fun. Can be used for other genres too. It's a neat way of creating unique melody lines and ear candy because you can combine a ton of different sounds like piano, strings, synths, vocals, percussion. Also, thank, you for giving me another name of sound design sessions/mudpies lol. Monolith is a perfect word for it.
I think of mudpies or bass jams like the "raw ore" of sound design that can be used to extract and refine "gems" or one-shots from. Monoliths are conglomerates of these one-shot gems. You can use mudpies as monoliths but I personally find them more cumbersome and less optimal for workflow.
A kinda messy technique that I use a lot that can yield some really cool results is using a free delay plugin called Deelay. If you turn the dry down and leave the wet all the way up, and then set the mode to chaos or reverse chaos, you can get some crazy generated bass sounds for fills or even main bass sounds. Would def recommend checking it out!
This is so sick! Similar to this i used to put my bass jams into a granulator and used to change position, grains, pitch and filters, i even used my song in the granulator and it gave me some insane results
Yeah I also experimented with this kinda stuff before this video was out, I put some old presets I made and some old virtual riot samples in the gran, spam lots of OTTs, vocoders and distortion and got some nice cinematic sound effects
@@AndrewYac yeah after doing all these things you still have the post processing and adding different types effects gives so many unique sounds and ideas
I don't even make music similar at all to this but what a gem this was for all music producers: "the more willing you are to take risk, the more you are rewarded with inspiration" Love it! +1
Hey bro I've been listening to ur music for the past 12 years and i gotta tell you moonland is just a masterpiece. Never get fed up listening that song.
I feel like most of us have seen the use of hocketers or whatever, especially from your courses. But taking us through its use to achieve a finished product is something that has underated utility in motivation and comprehension. I think most people make the rack and then just have no idea how to really move forward, but like you said, a little risk taking gets you a long way. I found this strategy to be really similar to how KOAN sound makes their reeses, modulating sample start and the pitch envelope of something simple with movement.
This is such a fun sampling method! Kinda reminds me of guitar strumming patterns - you define the rhythm first then assign your chords/composition Love your excitement and passion in what you do man
This is in fact the best music production idea/inspiration tutorial I have seen on the TH-cam since a very long time ago. I can use this idea to create a lot of tracks using splice samples that I really love.
Paused @4:01... Just started working on something identical a few days ago in Maschine, loaded multi 1 shots in a loop in the sampler & recorded start position changes in the clip / arranger just to check if it could be done in Maschine's arranger, & it worked. Glad to see a similar notion especially to utilise the flow state. Top tips, keep it up!
WOULD LOVE TO SEE au5 making melodic sounds and trying these techniques again with minimal audios current !! I reckon he could make some GNARLY sounds with current
I watch this video, knowing your stage name floats around the industry, I check out your spotify, I see Snowblind, the masterpiece that initially got me into dubstep, what a blast from the past, youre truly an influential figure🔥🔥😎
You've just enlightened me with the concept of dubstep out of just this video and I want to thank you for showing and presenting this, I never thought of a group of samples would be referred to as a monolith and I think that term should definitely take it's spot, if it's not done so yet, it simply brings much more meaning to just a "group sample"
This is a very similar idea to wavesequencing as in Korg wavestate, which is another way one might explore this idea (takes a little more setup in terms of getting sounds into a wavesequence). Anyway, a cool approach here (and digging the new look).
@@benkirkpatrick6343 awesome, stretching and layering the samples with other beeps and boops works great when you drop it into a granulator as well, much love
Pitch automaton def can push timing either direction I've found that with a few songs I recorded on modwave native this year. Love this method . its very on the fly , working everything into a sound inspiration wise and see what comes out of that
ngl, I can't wait to get off of work and try this shit, it's not a new technique to me but never thought about approaching it this way for sound design. Fuck yeah
You can also put a lead sound sample that goes from C to B or notes from a chord/scale and you can make melodies with some sort of controlled chaos, kinda like the random preset on ableton's arpeggiator
This guy… single handedly creating a whole new category of sound designing.
Monoliths.
Mark my words, this is beginning of whole new era of sound design.
This is so Au5, it’s basically Au6.
SeamlessR has tutorials on things like this from years ago and it's also similar to Mr. Bill's mudpie hocket technique.
Au6 kinda sounds like a German car model... Ahem, Audi
Nice Try ! KOAN sound uses this approach with their Reese's for Years now and the concept of hocketing is from somewhere around the middleages , so unless au6 is a timetravleler (which might be *thinkingemoji*) , he didnt invent it.

Anyways thanks for sharing
People have been doing this for ages. They're also called mudpies, sound design sessions etc.
This is not new, it's barely even novel.
Hell yeah love this approach 💜 big fan of sketching out a midi pattern first and then populating it with sounds :)
@@VirtualRiot ah, the second final boss I was talking about above 🔥
through this whole video was just thinking about how the VR super slicer would make this process so much more enjoyable
Yo It's that weird German guy!
Hell yeah love that you give back to the producer community unlike that Frau Skrill Skrill.
Great video! I actually think it's good to do this with samples for the crazy choppy parts but also use an actual patch for more specific modulation so you're not limited. Know what I mean.
This guy and Virtual Riot are the final bosses of sound design. It's amazing
Don’t sleep on KOAN Sound brother

Au5 back with more wisdom for us 🙏🙏🙏
I love how the wisdom in edm producers is growing. This video is lovely.
This has been a super fun tech to mess around with and even cooler that you're sharing this knowledge with the world
Been a fan since 2014 always amazed by the evolution of AU5.

I've always loved a sampling workflow like this. It also allows me to revisit old little snippets of samples and ideas
LOVE the idea of the "Monolith"; NEED to incorporate that! Ty dude! :)
Doing this same technique but with a very pretty atmospheric monolith and a granulator is soooo good for beautiful intro/breakdown stuff
This is so sick! Similar to this i used to put my bass jams into a granulator and used to change position, grains, pitch and filters, i even used my song in the granulator and it gave me some insane results

this is an interesting idea. Imma try this for botanica
I can physically hear you loading up patcher rn
This is what I needed. As someone who wants to use keys to write drops, I've been for a tutorial like this. Thank you!

Brilliant technique. I started doing this naturally with native modulators in my DAW. made for some CRAZY sounds.
This is huge sir, love it 🫡🔥

I respect you Au5. You and Virtual Riot, you really are the best in bass sound design
Au5 is the master. love this so much !

This is... so stupidly simple. I'm angry at myself for not thinking of this a long time ago. Great job, dude.
I usually play around with long recordings of sound design jams, so I gotta try this sometime, this looks really fun to do :D
Au5 é o melhor de todos❤❤ Seu grande fã aqui do Brasil ❤
Sounds like an Advanced mudpie workflow! Looks dope!
THE MAN, right here !
Looks like Bass Jesus now 😂
Just discovered your channel yesterday. Amazing videos! Thank you ✨
Bro, that is just insane!!!! Revolutionizing, and I mean that with all sincerity!
I'm gonna try this 100%
Ideation is my new favourite word...
I thought people were doing this in dubstep since 2011 😆
❤Really nice flows, Au5❤
It sounds perfect for complextro too
So super awesome! 🙌🎉 For those of us who get lost in the sound design sauce, it really helps to have a more simple approach sometimes :))
Man, your outfit is amazing, your style is so cool. Great video ❤
I've been meaning to get back into dubstep, and this seems like the perfect way to get back on my feet.
Mr Austin you are looking fresh af. (Every time I see Australia in the Olympics I see the AuS and think of you lol)
Incredible as always. Thank you for everything!
love the technique, so fresh 👌
I love your new style, Diddy5
YO WHAT
Jesus christ... well done and thank you for sharing this technique!
Thanks for sharing ur technique
AU5 for the win.
this is insane
This hurts my brain. Mad respect to the bass wizard Au5 from your fellow chillstep gnome :)

absolute filth, thank you so much!!
11:37 This ignites my soul
Huh, I had actually been doing this for a while but I hadn't considered combining multiple samples together like that. Cool stuff
This is awesome thank you!!
You went final form! Sick dude
Not yet, I'm still human XD
Loving the new look
Very creative!
Yoo that's next level game! Thanks for sharing!
Very sick idea, i like the creative phrases this can create. Doing this automation along with Ableton 12s generative midi could be very interesting
Man, epic stuff, makes me happy....but now I am happier!
this totally sold me on the DAW
Thanks Austin! A really great idea!
tytyty so much!! this is so helpful! AU5 is the GOAT
Good stuff, I’ve used this technique as well, it’s fun(reminds me of Mr Bills “mud pie” SD)….peace
I love using mud pie sound design! It's a great way to find exactly what you're looking for.
@@benkirkpatrick6343 awesome, stretching and layering the samples with other beeps and boops works great when you drop it into a granulator as well, much love
I'm in awe... haha thank you! Amazing!
Great tutorials
My god... just amazing
Very interesting techniques. Thanks!
Awesome! Thank you for sharing! 🙏
this just helped me soo much omg
thank you
Awesome!
so fire wtf
I’m trying this immediately you’re the goat
Au5 the goat
Amazing
Pitch automaton def can push timing either direction I've found that with a few songs I recorded on modwave native this year.
Love this method . its very on the fly , working everything into a sound inspiration wise and see what comes out of that
Off topic but your haircut looks dope!
In Fl Studio you can map the Start Pos. to the Velocity. Works Great! :D
In SliceX of course
Haha, this is very much like my workflow in Renoise! Instead of automating the sample start, play with sample offset and effect commands. Good shit.
inspirationinspirational THANK YOU sIR.
ngl, I can't wait to get off of work and try this shit, it's not a new technique to me but never thought about approaching it this way for sound design. Fuck yeah
oooh I gotta try this 😮
You can also put a lead sound sample that goes from C to B or notes from a chord/scale and you can make melodies with some sort of controlled chaos, kinda like the random preset on ableton's arpeggiator
Awesome idea here. How do you manage the sub bass during the mixdown process when using samples this way?
