Agreed, it's kinda like a nerdy thing that's hyper impractical, but the fact it was made is what's impressive to me. Duda really went deep! Wonder how much more there is in here haha
you dont have to over do your 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧! I used to always try fancy wavetable and start adding more effects, more macros, more modulations, crazy lfo patterns all trying to make a certain sound I liked but the problem was that I assumed they knew some secret technique that I didnt Or doing some magical sound design they discorvered in an old reddit forum or something lol but the truth was wayyy more simple than that they literally use basic shapes 90% 𝘰𝘧 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘦 its like occams razor - the most likely solution is the simplest one they key to their catchy sounds is in the way they combine different techniques together Again, 𝐬𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬... filters, resonances, distortion, eq, compression are the go to tool belt of the best sounds if you can't make 90% accurate sounds with those tools alone, dont worry and start going crazy adding more effects, modulations etc. you're just missing a better grasp of the fundamentals of sound design and how they can call relate to each other And if you've been struggling with these sound design and mixing and how it practically all works for your songs... 1. give me a follow @𝐦𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬 2. comment the word "𝐒𝐎𝐔𝐍𝐃" below so I can DM you more info to help you #edmproducers #sounddesign #ableton #serumvst #xferrecords #edmproducer
These right here ... 1 network 2 share content 3 learn something new or 4 create something new or 5 finish what you already started 1 and 2 will result in 80% of your success… but you only get to 1 and 2 after you can do 3, 4 or 5 effortlessly no matter what you do, your success will boil down to your repetitive, boring, daily actions. When I wanted to grow my first music projects, it was impossible for me to simply because my music wasnt good enough yet. So I needed to make better music - which lead me to focus my effort on how to make more music, more often and make it better each time. ie how to finish more songs faster. and then to boil that down into a repetitive, simple daily action I can repeat over and over to get me more quality music. Its just like a game where you are farming for xp, the more systematic your approach, the easier and faster you level up! Likewise, when I wanted to grow my current project, I had to starting learning about business, marketing, networking, content, advertising etc. But if you are not 100% confident right now that the music you make is similar to whatever is the best in your genre… Ask yourself on “whats holding me back from producing the quality and quantity I know I can” and break it down into a repetitive, simply daily action you can take. Likely, it will fall into either point 3, 4 or 5. And the way you systemize those actions is what determines how efficiently and fast you get to the “next level” in your project. if you want to learn about how my systemized approach to producing and the simple daily actions I take to grow my project works for me and our students, follow me and comment below the phrase “PMP” so I can DM you more info #musicproduction #mindset #musicmarketing
Check these out 👇 1 Learn keyboard shortcuts this is more important than you think and it's something I teach all students sure, you dont need to learn shortcuts to produce well but learning them will save you so much effort and precious inspiration when you are producing, especially when starting new ideas this is cause the second you have an idea or get inspired, its like a ticking time bomb each second that passes by is another second closer to you forgetting your initial idea so shortcuts (as the name implies 😲) literally save you time and inspiration! 2 create templates to hammer home the point to students, I add this is an extension of point 1 however creating templates is KEY to taking your productions to the next level sure you can buy others templates but creating and making your own (or atleast customizing the ones you buy) is such an easy hack to 10x your productions Btw if you want help on creating a template, I have a free training on exactly how I teach my students to you can get it by joining my community for free (link in bio) 3 sound design sessions this is something all my students learn as a major driving point… when you are stuck and dont have any inspiration to work on new or previously started songs… start a sound designing session! this allows you to discover happy accidents, weird sounds and things you use for new songs also, having restrictions on songs can help a lot - for example challenges that force you to use only a single sample, a midi, loop etc. We do these all the time in our community and it helps producers learn more about sound design and their workflow if you wanna take part it's free for the time being so check the link in the bio and join before I make it a pain community and if this was helpful, give me a follow! #musicproduction #ableton #producertips
Good question. I don't there is a way to pick and choose two specific sounds - could be wrong) BUT there is a way to select a sound and then have that one sound be priority in randomization. You can do this by selecting hybridize favouring selected preset and then whatever preset you're currently on will be the "favoured" / high priority preset for hybridizing. This way you are keeping most of the elements and qualities of the main preset with some variations from hybridizing Hope it helped, if you have more questions, join the free community in the bio
I've been doing a serum skin tot turn it into a nordlead but it's a lotta work to redo all the buttons and stuff. And individually change all those colours is a PITA. Vital just blew my mind ( again) with how it improves it's functionality.
If it's not already obvious... Music is run by the devil. And as a Christian music producer its hard to admit that sometimes Sometimes I get this friction of "should I quit music because the devil is the ruler of it?" As we know, satan is the angel known for music and sound hence his ability to use music to influence us all to negative things that pull us away from God So should I quit music because it's evil and demonic??? My answer is NO!! The reason is because God was the one who gave you the vision of music. Of producing chart topping songs Or playing in big festivals Or making masterpiece songs that inspire others Just because music is the devil's natural ability, doesn't mean music is demonic and you shouldn't pursue it Infact it's the opposite. In my view, God has called you to use music as a way to attack the devil! By winning souls to Jesus Christ by making music which glorifies Him! King David, who defeated goliath, was known for also playing many instruments and making music as a way to praise and worship God! So music inherently isn't demonic, but it sure is powerful for influencing people - hence why Satan uses it against us So, as a producer and music maker, God calls us to glorify Him and make disciples THROUGH our music, sound design, productions, songwriting, etc. Hence why as a Christian and producer, you do NOT need to be afraid of entering into music and growing into a scene that is blatantly wicked It's our job instead as the 'light of the world" to shine God's glory unto those in the darkness... And to share our light with those who need it most Remember, no one healthy goes to a hospital Likewise, no one righteous needs Jesus or God But those who are unrighteous and living with the wages of sin I believe God is calling many of us young people and music producers to step up and shine our light on the music scene To make worship commonplace and praising God second nature through influencing the thoughts of our culture via music May The Holy Spirit be with you and let's become demon slayers with our music 🗡️📖 ✝️🕊️🔥

1 Call and response - just like how a conversation has an equal amount of talking between everyone, so too does as good drop. Make sure your sounds fit together and almost “finish each others sentences”. You can do this by pairing long sustained sounds with short staccato ones, or using filters and automating them in interesting ways. Sound Design and selection is key here 2 The bigger they are, the harder it drops - the better and bigger you make your buildup, to more tension and release your listener wants. This makes your drop feel even more powerful and fresh in contrast to it. A good tip to make sure to use lots of layers, especially in dance music. Also, speeding things up helps make more tension 3 Fake outs - sometimes pre maturely ending a buildup or adding an extra bar to the drop before it hits can spice things up. just note to make sure your songs flow and rhythym don't get ruined as this trick can really make your song hard to dance to when transitioning from the build to drop 4 Rhythym is key - as the name implies, dance music is abotu dancing first! If you nail a really good rhythym, it becomes 10x easier to make powerful catchy drops - especially when you pair that with good sound design 5 Arrange in chunks - if you’re able to expand on your drops by adding a B part to it, say after 8 or 16 bars, you can massively boost the listeners enjoyment and dopamine of your song. This is because your drop becomes way more exicitng and fresh and less repetitive and stale.

@@mysticartsmelodies Its vital doing it & sadly unless its updated & fixed then its not as fun to use for me. I have go days & not have a single crash.. the moment Vital is loaded its a ticking time bomb xD But it's been over a year since its last update. Mac OS has had 3 big updates. Logic has had a major one! Vital is still the same. :(
so you already know the basics of sidechain (if you dont, you can check on google, it will only take 5 mins) but did you know there are multiple use cases for sidechain, and not just the typical trigger from the kick? here are 2 of my fav ones that I just had a call with my sound design community on (if you want to join, follow me and message me the word “community”) first is a mixing one and thats to sidechain your sub separate from your other instruments I think theres a really unique sound that you get only when you sidechain your sub to align perfectly with your kick its glues your track better and it gives everything that extra touch of professionalism. its also easier for mixing and it sounds amazing on speakers the key is to make sure you align your sub to the tail end of the kick otherwise it will not achieve this effect second is a creative effect that doubles as a mixing use and thats to sidechain your delays and reverbs to the dry signal of the instrument or group. thsi can be a bit tricky to explain with without showing you what I mean but basically, you want to duck the volume of the reverb and delay whenever the original “dry” signal is playing. This creates room in your mix and it also makes your sound less muddy and clearer and more powerful and present - this is honestly one of my favourite tricks to do when I have a longer delay and reverb you can do this on vocals and on leads and it will sound great! there are more uses for it but I dont have the space to type it call 😟 what do you use sidechain for aside from these 2? comment and lets discuss! #edmproducers #edmproducer #mixingtip #sounddesign
