any chance you could maybe find a way to sell/ share some of your unused samples..? id like to hear that. gives cool insight into what a different persons world sounds like...just a thought
@@markoapokalypse1336 we’ll see… I’ve definitely given it consideration… I have friends and other music producer buddies that have asked as well… so I may actually do it
Most of us have a fantastic recording device right in our pockets at almost all times now. And iPhone, or Android phone. And if you're doing industrial, those samples don't ever have to be pristine, so you don't need a top end microphone or anything for that stuff. I record all the time with it.
You can make a piezo mic with one of those beeping speakers from post cards or old alarm clocks. Though it needs a lot of impedance to work properly (e.g. when you press the "instrument" button on your audio interface). When you solder cables to that beeping evil thing, you stick those gum like poster hanging things so it attaches to the surface properly. Try to record a glass of ice with it, and then pour some water. The crackling sounds are deep and thunderous.
Theres an much easier way grabing Samples from RU-vid, a Chrome Plugin called Sample ;-) Also i use my Smartphone with the Irig Recorder 3. A proffesional Field Recorder would be better yes, but the Irig Recorder App pusches the Smartphone to the Maximum. PS: Kickin a Garbage Can, makea a Awesome Snare Sound.
i love my studio, but i hate it. old building, rain leaks in, windowless, but that's what inspires me at the same time. i live in a poor area outside city limits, and that makes it my haven as well. as for gear, i don't have what i want, but i have what i need. Love is what makes a house, a home haha.
@@markoapokalypse1336 yeah, honestly we all start somewhere… I have the gear I want, but it took me several years to eventually get the pieces I want. I think a person, whatever their circumstance, has to figure out how they can make it (whether it’s a studio, or limited gear, or no gear) work for them for the time… when I started out I didn’t even have a microphone, but I figured out with an old pair of headphones, that if I plugged them in to the line-in on a soundcard… that I could sing through the ear pieces on the headphones and recorded it via sound recorder on an old computer… that’s how I wrote my first song, and captured vocals. There really is something to be said of resourcefulness.
@@twitch_the_orginal oh, I have the means for more things, but I never played live or anything like that, so I just stuck to a simple set up. The expression is what keeps me going. I started with a drum machine, small mixer, mic, guitar and amp, and an old cd player with the red and white cables running from the mixer. It worked. Plus my original Xbox to loop samples from movies. We made it work. I still use that style set-up from time to time.
Case in point. The house I just moved into is next to a main road artery. Getting vocals done without the occasional, high speed, loud, "VRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOM!!!!" in the background is often a case of luck. As just a quirk of mine, to keep things sounding more raw, I used to do my vocals in one take, and one track. If something messed up, I would just redo it. I like my stuff to sound like I'm doing everything live and I actually keep things in there that most musicians would edit out. Given the fact that I do industrial music, perfection simply doesn't matter as there's literally no rules. I have a sign in my music room that says, "There's no such thing as a mistake." Sometimes, I just keep the sound of the cars zooming by in there. Other times, I do multiple takes and just copy paste the best parts of each into one track now. It goes against my previous way of doing things... but here, it kind of needs to be done sometimes.
@@BlackburnBigdragon yeah, I sometimes have the same problem where I live as well… getting loud vehicles that drive by or whatever, but much like you sometimes I’ll leave that in, sometimes I’ll do another take with none of the vehicles in the background. It is true though, there are really no rules in industrial music… so really get the take you want, whether it’s a fresh raw take, or a second, third, or fourth take… whatever works for you. I’m much in the same line of thinking that nothing is truly perfect… so for me, I never work for perfection… I get what I want that communicates the song in the way I want, and that’s what I do. Thank you for your comment!
Nice Video. The Lights works Well for me. What also works well is to close the Curtains partialy, so that a few Rays of Sunshine, shine trough the darkened Room.
🔥⚡💣🔨DISTORTION!!! 🔨💣⚡🔥 (maybe? ) Industrial in many ways has the punk and DIY ethos. Plus, it has a LOT of distortion and noisy elements. Distortion is the degradation of a signal, and with so many distorted song elements , there's actually a LOT of ways to come to an awesome sounding industrial kick, lead, hi hat, etc etc. There is much much more of an acceptable amount of noise in an industrial track compared to many genres. Sadly (?), industrial music is probably not popular enough of a genre to have production tutorials that get views. I could be wrong bc I haven't dug around, but IME the quality tutorials are in techno, dnb, pop, hip hop, etc; the more popular genres that probably drawn significantly more views and providing more $$$ incentive. If there were more tutorials and info shared, there would probably be more industrial producers and the music would become more available and heard. There's the potential to water down musical diversity and creativity within the genre, but it also has the potential to do the opposite, depending on what these new producers make. I could be wrong, but it seems like industrial could be an easier genre to produce than many of the other electronic genres? I'm actually interested in getting back into it. Just found your channel, so I'm looking forward to checking out your industrial tuts!
@@johnbarger3651 yeah, old school days… now I use FL Studio, but wrote my first two albums with Impulse Tracker… would never use again, but a really good way to learn some sequencing.
do you work on preset sounds for album concepts? i like to set a few synths for a few songs ahead of time, then change up for the next few tracks, just to keep learning sound shaping and to have fresh ideas...the music tends to appear every few weeks all of a sudden. I call it musical diarrhea haha. but that's just me. good vid man.
Yeah, sometimes I use presets, sometimes I use my own custom patches for synth sounds... really depends on the song and what I'm trying to communicate. Generally when I write, I work from a complete blank slate, then start messing around, and seeing if there is anything I like... and carry on like that until I have a song skeleton.
@@twitch_the_orginal that's what i meant: "USER presets". i try not to change too much since i want to remember what sound patches i create if i ever have to remake them. i use stock stuff on FL, and try to enhance them using more knowledge i pick up along the way.
Back in the time we used anything as Percussion or for Sound creating when I Made music with friends.Toy Robots,Fuel Tanks,metal Bars,etc.We had an old tapedeck and a friend Made two recording microphones out of a pair of old walkman headphones.We hang them over our heads on the ceiling of the practise room.We used detuned guitars and a friend played weird tones on his Saxophone.We had a lot of fun when we were young.
25ish... you can find them all here: twitch-official.bandcamp.com/ ...not all of them are on streaming (if that is where you are looking), have to upload a lot of the older stuff to streaming
One of the little challenges I do to to keep my mind fresh is that I go to "freesound". That's where I get a LOT of sampled sounds that I use in my music. There's a link that you can click on their page that says, "Give me a random sound". What I do is that I click that link and download maybe five to ten random sounds. Then I challenge myself to make some kind of tune using ONLY those sounds. The rules are, I can mangle the sounds, cut them up, craft multiple instruments out of single sounds, etc... It doesn't matter what I do but I try to make something cool or fun with only those sounds. It really helps creatively if you get stuck. It keeps the juices flowing. I'm also an advocate of the old "One Synth Challenge". Basically, load up a VST, any one, and use ONLY that instrument to craft a whole song. It's a challenge because you have to design all kinds of different sounds with that VST and it really gets you in deep, messing around with it, whatever VST that you selected, because you want to maximize the number of totally different sounds that you can make with the instrument. And of course the rules apply from the previous challenge too. You can turn the sounds into wav files, load up your audio editor, and mess with them, building a library of new sounds beyond what they were originally. Those are two challenges I do to keep my creative juices flowing.
Yep, I am familiar with Freesound, have used it many of times... really a great place to grab stuff that a person might not have access to, the only thing I would caution, there is a creative commons licensing with some of the sounds, so just have to be mindful that the sounds you are grabbing are free to utilize in whatever way you want to. However, everything above is fairly solid, I don't have much Gear Acquisition Syndrome, I only have a couple of select pieces, so it's really easy for me to limit my choices when it comes to music creation and really focus in on a specific piece/synth. Thank you for your comment!!
@@twitch_the_orginal I agree with that. It's best to focus on a small number of instruments at a time. I got rid of my gear acquisition syndrome in the early 90's. That said, I'm REALLY old school when it comes to the industrial music I make. Where industrial now seems to just focus on just drum machines and lots of analog gear, I'm of the old industrial music school of thought that industrial music is based on "found sound". I do a LOT of field recording, sound chopping up, and work with samplers. My results tend to be something near Skinny Puppy back in their Cleanse Fold and Manipulate era. Almost everything is done with my Ensoniq EPS or some version of a sampling keyboard VST, occasionally with some synths tossed in. That's what's great about industrial. There's no rules. Everything goes.
It's hard to make production videos for a genera where there literally is no rules. If you want to make industrial, your best bet is to learn techniques from other styles, and REALLY, and I mean REALLY learn your DAW or whatever you're using for recording and editing, and REALLY experiment with, and learn all the features and functions of whatever you're using as a sampler, and whatever you're using for effects and EQ. Once you learn all that and master them to the best of your ability, then, remove all rules, get field recording, and just... hunt for crazy strangeness on your synths. Playing with random sound generation also causes a LOT of happy accidents too. Also... VCV Rack is an AMAZING tool and you can get a free version of it! You can also learn a LOT about analog synthesis using it.
One method: - Do meth. - Get furious or really sad. - Record and create loud/harsh sounds (particularly with metallic and industrial work tools). Or softer sounds if you know Piano/how to make ambience. - Experiment every day, or as often as you can (including where and how you make those sounds). Like home, outside, near parks, empty roads/streets, near nature/trees. - Lookup how to make Rock/Metal music. - Lookup how to make Electronic (harsher/harder) music. - Lookup how to make Ambient/Piano music.
Yep, would love to review it! I think my email is on my RU-vid profile, so send an email to that email address... and we can arrange to have your single reviewed. If that doesn't work, I would suggest either messaging via my Instagram, or Facebook accounts that are linked here on this RU-vid channel. Let me know if those are gonna work for you, if not we'll figure something out.
Industrial isn’t as much a music genre as it is an aesthetic. Industrial music doesn’t fit a formula like, say, techno does. It’s more about the quality of the sounds than the song structure. Same with chiptune (it’s about the basic waveforms, not the arrangements). There’s industrial film, industrial literature, industrial fashion. There’s no dubstep film hahah. Great vid
