I don’t know how to send you a telegram- but man you are truly inspirational thank you so much for all the tips!!! I am learning so much off of you, I had to subscribe!!!
Great video
One suggestion concerning FM Bass
Turn Rand down on both oscillators to ensure same phase for solid consistent attack
🤙
Hands down my FAVORITE sound design channel on YT.
You put SO much love and quality into every piece of content man. Nothing can compete with your long form content and the way you explain everything.
Thank you!
Appreciate it man!
earned my sub today :) (though it seems I'm late to the party lol
even if I don't specifically wanna remix Skrillex or "copy" his sounds, this gives a REALLY good guide for a plethora of little tricks that even as someone making music over a decade, I had no clue you could do especially with the vocal harmonizing and splitting it between the "voxy synthlike vocals" and the blend of the real voice was something I hadn't thought of.
often I think more about adding effects to go further and further but bringing back in those elements that you can lose from making something "electronic" has such a harmonizing beauty to it. Thank you for this vid :)
I didn’t even want to watch this vid but clicked and stayed for the whole thing , great content and lessons
Appreciate it!
Why’s everybody so embarrassed to listen to skrillex
I don't really know, but he makes good musics :/
Same here. I could not sleep and now I dont want to sleep 😂cause its so interesting.
@@photicsonar😂
I love this, my fav channel for producing/sound design techniques! keep it up
Thanks for your support!
The extra little tips you gave after explaining each technique is the real sauce here, ur the man
Glad you liked it!
Really sick video, thanks for sharing these techniques. Going to go try this serum & vocoder combo!
Im digging the new release. Great bass patches everywhere
amazing video full of so many amazing tricks, the vocoder one specifically blew me away, I have to try that on my own vocals, sounds amazing
That vocoder trick made this whole video worth it. That's actually awesome!
That vocoder trick is sick!!!
Super insightful and well-presented stuff!! Tyvm
Always love your videos man thank you.
thank u for the class! it was inspiring and I learned some cool stuff :) I do struggle a lot trying to designing cool basses even with some years of practice
Very informative vid. Great job mate
woww the amount of knowledge available to us now compared to 2013 is incredible. i remember skrillex tutorials and tutorials in general were so much harder to follow back in the day
Good work as always Tom
Thank you for this gem of a lesson!
That vocoder tip was great never knew how it worked or how to use it
That rc20 noise automation is so clever, I'm so gonna steal that idea haha
So helpful thank you!
killed it once again big dawg
Hey, I signed up for your course and I have to say, LOVE IT. Can I put in a request for some chord theory stuff? The extension you use are alway amazing and it would be great to HACK those too!
Fun tip, you could use shaperbox3 on the rumble bass and do the lfo and noise follow all it one place!
Nice. Actual nuggets. Subbed
Yeah, FM bass with sine waves, he definitely likes them a lot. Thank you for sharing these tips!
actual useful fast paced videos WOW
That vocal design!!!! WOW!
This taught me a lot about some EDM techniques. As pop/emo musician before, this is very helpful. Thanks for posting!
Cheers man glad you found it helpful!
too cool man thank you for sharing
Great content 🔥
amazing video!
this was super sick, freaking wanna know how to do that drop on real spring i can't wrap my head around that
Excellent
Dude this is my bible, amazing video, very clever sound design, inspiring af, greetings bro!
Appreciate it!
lovely tutorial.
Badass video!
Great tutorial and I like the drum perc sound as well
Appreciate it!
Thank you man ❤
12:23 just brings me to my knees without fail
The vocoder trick is so cool! Didn't know you could do this. Also I really like your light Ableton skin. How do you get it?
May I ask about your Live theme? It looks lovely. Great tutorials btw, subscribed!
love your stuff Tom! bought the new serum pack as soon as i saw the email
Appreciate it! Enjoy your sounds :)
The vocoder was sick, thx
I love it that sound, thanks for watching!
Super cool stuff
Great Video, how did you get your abelton to look like this?
I talk Spanish and see it strange and funny to me that an English speaker use a Spanish vocal in the tutorial, hahaha, now I understand how it u feel that when we use English vocals, good tricks, greetings bro
if i take anything away from this video its definately the vocoder trick as well as the chopping. i knew that stuff before, but you made it such an interesting element, which highly affected my though process about it. Very very nice video, you got one subscriber more ;)
Glad you liked it! Thanks for your support :)
Useful video, thanks a lot!
Thanks for watching!
Bro I never thought to use rc-20 for texture like that. Definitely putting this to use.
that fade out white screen always makes me nervous thought my ableton crashed :D
What is the main program you're using to run all of this through?
To be brief, This video is great
your take on the rumble bass was pretty much what I imagined it'd be
awesome video! do you know how to recreate the lead riff sound from real spring ??
this made me want to switch DAWs immediately. I think i will actually. THANKS FOR SUCH A GREAT VID
Gold
Rather than automate the reverb dry/wet to bring the tail in could you not save time and create a side chain on the reverb with the bass as the side chain input? Should, in my mind, sound very similar. Great tutorial btw!
subbed happy to find you
INSTANT SUB! NICE!
I don't listen to Skrillex that much, but I instantly recognised the FM bass from Faithless' "Insomnia". Definitely a staple from their sound.
I dont know shit about making music, but that audio at 13:10 with a "I just wanna rock" type bass on the first pause would sound amazing. thats a really strong sound, id love to hear a song made out of it
the track is called rakata by mr gun that uses those vocals, id really love to see someone make a remix with some hi hats and fast paced bass, would probably go viral
@@dongambino5308 be the change u wanna see in the world. I believe in u
@@plonzz lol this video actually made me start messing around and making songs, ive made like 3 or 4, obviously nothing great but I basically figured it out on my own with some playing around, unfortunately I only have GarageBand so im not sure how I could rip those vocals, but if I could find a way to get those vocals im pretty positive I could make the version of the song I want lol
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@SynthHacker have you noticed that sometimes with 'time based' plugins like LFO Tool and Kickstart you'll get some delay on the envelope?? ie: So the 'ducking' is actually slightly off time, etc.
I've noticed this mainly when it follows plugins with latency... but wondering if you've seen the same.
Yeah sometimes, can fluctuate on what you set your audio drivers buffer size to be, worth looking into! Always worth bouncing to audio and have a look visually too
Hey man, i just started this video and i'm already wondering what color template you're using on ableton? :D It looks really nice
Oh wait i think i found it already : Super 8 Inspired 🤍
Awesome video!
Cheers man!
this is fire
Nice one, some great tips n tricks 🫶🏻
Vocoder Trick (more precise) - Vocoder, Auto Pan, OTT. 🔥
L'usage commun du vocoder est d'attribuer à une ligne de chant ou à une phrase parlée une ou des hauteurs, ignorant donc celle(s) qu'elles avaient auparavant.
En appliquant toutefois du vocoder à une ligne mélodique, et en prenant soin que la suite d'accord qu'on lui associe soit dans la même tonalité que celle-ci, il est possible de situer le dry/wet aux alentours de 60%, voire d'écrire des automations sur ce paramètre. Ce faisant, on harmonise donc la mélodie initiale par l'effet audio, d'une manière intéressante puisque cette harmonie ne se manifeste qu'en même temps que la mélodie, et possède un timbre particulier et un volume que l'on peut tout deux moduler.
Enfin, cette technique appelle à être couplée à l'utilisation d'un synthétiseur MPE qui en dévoilerait le plein potentiel.
Amazing video
Appreciate it!
How do you get LFO tool to show the waveform?
I don’t understand much of ableton but I wonder how do you that vocoder trick in FL
sick vid subbed
Thanks for your support!
How do you make the porter robinson X skrillex bass tho , there is like soothing sub kinda thing idk what it is , but it would be really cool if someone tells how to sound design that
Thanks again a true man of science
Bro is a Wizard
this is on point
Appreciate it!
I'd like to grab the sample pack with the "UK Dub Bass" preset
- I'm unclear which pack to purchase on the site. Can you help please?
Thanks!
It's included in my new pack MOLTEN for Serum
Goat teacher and Sounddesigner ❤️💯
Thanks for the kind words!
Was hoping for a tutorial/similar sounds on the sort of poppy percussion in RATATA I love that part of the song
Import a percussion sample into a sampler, add Haas effect, play a rhythm and experiment with the pitch automation over time. You could synthesize a similar sound, but work smarter not harder because no average listener is gonna care how you got there.
Oh prob also experiment with using vocoders or kilohearts disperser or just a plugin that makes a lot of band splits (even sth like a Multiband compressor without any compression/1:1 ratio)
Can I do this in any DAW?
best video
Does anyone know of any alternative plugins for Ableton Sampler that can chop up samples and map them to keys that I can use in Reaper? The reasamplomatic is good but lacks this feature
The only one I’m aware of is serato sampler, but it’s pretty expensive… I know there are other options though, I think Waves recently made a sampler plugin
You can actually just go into the wavetable editor and remove the fundamental there instead of highpassing. I'm surprised more people don't do this.
I believe that the rumble noise bass is just a fm synthesizer with velocity automation
But good work around
RUN FOR DEM LYFE
RC-20 for years and didn't know how to use that noise follow. Amazing.
It's so useful, can sound great to add a bit of texture to drums too, kicks/hihats etc
Ahh yes! A little noise on a kick with a touch of tube distortion...
hey just wondering why do you assign the vocal chops to a drum rack instead of drawing in the midi with simpler itself?
It’s good practice as you can put effects on the individual drum rack pads, if you wanted different chops to be processed differently for example, or different amplitude envelopes for different chops etc. Doesn’t matter too much though!
@@SynthHackerTV oh thats actually pretty useful, definitely gonna have to try this, thanks for the quick reply!
im gonna figure out a way to bring back coki type dubstep. Mark my words, i will do it.
can you show how he does the kingdom hearts/good space vocals
Result???
aswesome video
drum kit
Can you please share your ableton theme sir? Also thanks for your great contents❤
It’s called Super 8!
What's your Ableton theme called?
Super 8 :)
The new album is heat
Agreed!
Hey. What is that ableton theme? looks sick.
Super 8 :)
Damn, I followed the steps for the FM bass from this tutorial but mine sounds trash and nothing like in the video.... hmmm....
A bit unrelated, but what Ableton theme do you use?
Super 8!
@@SynthHackerTV Thank you for your quick reply! I love the colors.
