can anyone help me.... i own an Ti2 but how i get the firmware ? I searching the internet for infos for 2hours now i neeeeed help.... i cant handle it....
very helpful video. cleared up some things i wasn't sure about -didn't know that ENV1 automatically mapped to the level of OSC1. makes sense now that i think about it -didn't know ENV 1 DIDN'T automatically map to the level of OSC1 some things i'm still not clear on are when i would want to map an envelope to something rather than an oscillator. i guess use an LFO if i need it to, well oscillate over the entire course of the note being held. maybe that intuition will just come with practice
You want to use an env whenever you want to make it dependent on the MIDI (attack, decay, sustain) runs while pressed and release - once you release. While an LFO is more time-dependent (even in env mode, it doesn't react to e.g release), it just runs once in the given timing ;)
There are some tutorials on the channel about bass synthesis ;) maybe I make a series soon with different VSTs. Otherwise it always feels so much just like redoing the old videos. Also if you sign up at my page you get the main bass synthesis till the processing which is imho the more important part psiger.com
Super video, habe vor kurzem angefangen selber musik zu produzieren. Bisher bin ich nicht ganz sicher in welche richtung es gehen soll aber ich tendiere stark zu psytrance :)
For me, there is also not enough happening but I guess it's maybe also her minimal style of techno. That's why I mainly listen to Psy we have such amazing complex and well-done productions. There is some good techno for me like Boris Brechja but most sounds to monotonous for me.
Haha! I thought the only yellow thing in this room is an Ableton sticker on my Push 2, then I noticed a wee yellow button on my fairy light remote, then a yellow pencil.
i've just started to produce psytrance on ableton can u please do a video that shows how u mix your tracks like returns channels and how u group leads and process them in a group and not adding fx to each sound u make in serum or vital and one shot for example
Have you seen this one: Why You Should Use Sends and Returns and How to Setup Return Channels - Psytrance Tutorial Ableton ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-AJOcsHW5ktk.html
Great video! Tbh I'm a walking paradox in terms of personality. I can be very cynical, wary of people etc and even my good qualities and openness with people can turn possessive, which is why most people avoid me like the plague, and probably for good reason. Ironically, with my music I want people to have a good time possive vibes and its going well. :)
Well, a lot of times you just “select” the people who fit your personality by being yourself. We don't need to attract everyone as long as we find our tribe 🔥 Positive energy attracts positive energy and vice versa!
On top of all the tracks on the right side, there you find "Set" with that you can create markers and name them. It helps me to organise stuff and you can jump between them.
Well, I mainly use one scale but sometimes I use notes on purpose which are not in that scale. And you can have multiple scales in a track as well. But most tracks just use one ;) to sum it up: use one scale but don't be afraid to break that rule
You can set over which time period it samples data. You should find a cog wheel on the top right and there you can decrease the avg duration. Depending on what you want to look at I set it faster or slower.
The K&B is just filtered with an auto filter. I need to dig up the project but usually, I use many FX in the intro so it's most likely just a sample I found or some FX preset. Nothing special, I go very simple with these one-shots and don't e.g synthesize them.
Tbh, I use mostly preset banks. But if you want to create them on your own you can do it like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-IMVqRQuf0RU.htmlsi=Uf8wl4m4i2kELDhl But I also might do a video on FM synthesis which can be used to make those as well.
I like the melody created, but the biggest doubt is the patch used on this sound. Cuz it seems your patch has some lfo on the pitch of the oscillator aligned to the grid, just wanted to know if it is this because it makes so much difference on the melody
I can check in a week once I'm back but let's say even if there would be an arp in there you can still draw notes over the top. Depends a bit on how random things are.
Thanks for the Video. On a normal headset the intro sounded best. Why is this with FMs in DAWs because sometimes when they pull high fms on Analog Modular systems and go nuts on Octave/ Pitch its still sounds awesome? Are the simulationen in our daw not accurate enough?
I believe you can design anything in digitally. Even though hardware freaks will not agree with me. In the end an audio signal is just amplitude over time. So any information could be potentially printed into that wave. On hardware, you have sometimes side effects that are more pleasant to the ears then if it would be processed at it is. Eg tape effects vs bluntly clipping stuff. But tbh I don't so much hardware maybe some hardware enthusiasts here in the community know this?
I tried opening a new project and importing each individual track to see which one was crashing my project, did it fine, but I remember I couldnt retrieve my return tracks. So thanks to you I could open the project using the "disable VST plugins" tip. I opened the project, deleted the track that was crashing it and now I can continue safely. Thanks again for this man!
Welcome, brother :) about the return tracks in Ableton 12, I think you can now also drag over devices. Also I usually keep multiple versions of my project eg once I start kind of an initial state. Then you could load that one and drag it over into that one that already has those returns. Anyway you managed it ✨🙏 glad I could help!
Well wouldn't agree with that, most music follows some rules ;) but that doesn't mean that they cannot be bent or broken in certain circumstances - as mentioned in the video.
The key is to learn all the shortcuts imho. I still use too many times the mouse but once you get more and more shortcuts your efficiency will increase so much. I made a video about my fav shortcuts. I would not learn them at once but kind of integrate them over time and learn them that way.
Tip: for hi hat loops that are a little too sustained for psytrance, use “beats” mode and set it to “tranisients” with no looping, and shorten the sustains to taste. It’s perfect
Getting a lot out of your videos, Psiger. I’m in the very early stages of producing psytrance, but I can’t figure out how to do the sort of high-end distorted with reverb leads that are very common in all types of psytrance. It seems like there’s so much control over these sounds, like they swirl and meld together perfectly. I have downloaded some Vital presets that are ok, but I can’t get that futuristic distorted guitar sound. Could you tell me that that sound is and how I can get it? :)
I think you refer to gritty type also called FM sounds, right? Imho its mostly the wavetable. You should find a video on my channel if your search for jucy FMs which shows how to make them in Serum. Secondly its the mix, the right delay (rhythm, feedback, and mix, as well as the filter in the delay) goes a long way imho.
I like Ana 2 especially the midi out but I find it confusing sometimes as it has a quirky menu system and it's not very visual like vital or phaseplant . Discovery pro also . Great sound if you are an expert synth programmer . Great vid cheers
Serum and Vital have imho the best gui, phase plant is also Ok but I fully agree the other synths get more confusing. I think what those synths solve so good is that you can see the modulation curves and where they are assigned to.
First sound is a live instrument pitched down 1 octave but keeping the original transient and the second sound is the same sound but stretched in time 100% which also equals an octave of course...
So you mean both an octave down but the first one the transient is the original one, one octave higher if I got you correct. Could be but right after the transient it still sounds higher, then I guess we would hear it sweeping from this part to the downpitched one in the overlapping part. But definitely possible that's a mix or layer.
I’ve only started making psytrance for about two months. I have worked with MIDI previously, but my production approach was almost the opposite of what one usually needs with psytrance. Saying that, I have carried over some musical habits that could be beneficial or a disadvantage. I used to do industrial neo-folk type stuff with some post-rock influences and all the drums had loads of reverb and sometimes delay, odd time-signatures with harp melodies, harsh clanging percussive sounds, but with psytrance, everything needs to be very neat, organised and consistent and it’s been very interesting drastically changing my approach to making music. I’m using presets on vital for bass, sequences, melodies, SFX and I’m using every free synth plugin I can get my hands on, but I’d need to get some better ones for drums like the ones mentioned in this video. I’m also a little self-conscious about how other people will receive my music. I want to create it for the most part, DJ it and I want the people to really enjoy it. That said, Hi-tech seems to be in vogue at the moment and any trance event I go to now doesn’t have much music under 150bpm which the tempo i use. I also have more focus on the melodic, Tangerine Dream-esque synth pads that I just can’t help incorporating whereas most of what I hear in clubs and festivals are up to 300bpm with ominous sounds and robotic effects. I kinda like it but it’s sensory overload after an hour or so and I’m not sure how I’ll fit in. :L
I think its always beneficial to have experience in other genres. Especially rock has been a lot on the earlier days of Psytrance like Raja Ram stuff for example. Two styles always need adaptation to make them work together but can then result in something different/ new. I would start diving deep into understanding Psytrance production and then starting to merge it later to avoid getting stuck. But there are always many ways to do stuff :) Hi-tech is popular but I wouldn't agree that there is no music under 150 most big festivals like Ozora, Boom, Indian Spirit, and many more which I haven't visited lately play full-on the majority of playtime. I think oz depends on where you go ;)
First, if you copy it you learn about the points/ shapes/ properties if you create something from scratch. Also, you can now use the copied version and adapt it to your individual needs in that track.
It's Psy + tiger = Psiger maybe Psyger would have been easier but that one was occupied in some social media channels (not by Psy artists, but more randomly). And yes the English tiger so “psaiger”
Glaub auch aber der Markt ist halt auch klein. Denke das and vermutlich max. 5000 Poducer und das ist schon her hoch gegriffen imho. Vielleicht auch nur 1000.
