I would love to see more videos like these just giving general creative ideas, these are all helpful tips and i often feel demotivated to get back to producing, these ideas help me think of how to improve my sound. Thanks!
i know this’ll probably get lost in the comments but hearing some of these samples like actually moved me and i wish i knew where to find music that sounds like this…
Were out here looking at the big picture forest like we were told and this man is looking at the trees and decides we need new types of trees to make up this forest. He is CHANGING the game
My personal favorite has been convolution synthesis. I use a free plugin called Convology XT and what it does is creates reverbs based on impulse recordings. It has a built in file browser that you can navigate to your sample library which allows you to select any sound you have and use that as an impulse! Taking a bass sound and using a perc roll as an impulse gives some really crazy textures and effects, or using a vocal one shot as an impulse for a pluck can create some really spooky and eerie atmosphere.
@@rainer3755 Huge fan of Trash 2! When I want a nice dry gritty sound it's my go to with a little bit of the old camel crusher. Recently though I picked up Rift by Minimal Audio through Splices rent-to-own system and it's becoming more and more integral to my sounds. It's a little more chaotic to try and understand compared to Trash but wow it can do so much. Definitely recommend checking out a free trial
Thank you and God bless you and all of us in Jesus Christ’s King of all kings blood that was shed and name we declare and in Jesus Christ’s King of all kings blood that was shed and name we pray amen 😊!
Hi synth hacker been a fan of your channel for a while and I love your videos. Can you please make a video on how to make the pad/key on Majid jordans Caught up please.
Very good tricks. Granular is always welcome, also Wavefolding as a trick on any simple waveform. Perhaps you can also make a video about synth matrix (Envelopes + LFO’s + virtual patching, etc) I don’t think they are many of those around and some synths are coming up with a lot of ruting options to do creative sound design. I think this could be a task right up your alley. You gain a new subscriber +1UP
This is a classic. I remember watching you a bit when I first started production and now, this tutorial is perfect before everything happens for me so thank you so much!!
11: different chord voicings (wide, inversions, omitted notes - we hear too many close triads). 12: panning layers to different positions in the stereo spread. 13: when using polyphonic splitting, apply pitch bend to some-but-not all notes. 14: distortion, - especially on tracks with "one and sometimes two" simultaneous notes - especially effective if one note has pitch bend, but not the other. 15: when vocoding - speed up / slow down vocal before applying vocoder effect, so formants more alien sounding
Hey, could you possibly explain the setup of the vocoder trigger and what each layer is doing? I can’t quite get it from the example in the video. Thank you!!
I'm honestly so glad for finding this gem of creativity, thank you so much for the straightforwardness and simplicity of technique. This'll help me lots during my journey
Didn’t click on this before because I thought it was gonna be super basic stuff like using strings or guitars, but this is actually really interesting and advanced stuff I would’ve never thought of especially that mechanical noise one I never understood the point of that feature
Very creative and inspiring video. In my case, the question is how to replicate this kind of effects in a keyboard workstation to take them to live easily, with everything programmed. It is possible to replicate a large part using SysEx to alter the effects and sounds so that they are available at any moment.
Super helpful! What I like most is that you explained those techniques mainly as general concepts, instead of being too much focused on a particular DAW and/or plugin. Thus, it can be easily applied to basically any DAW, sequencer and groove box. Thanks for sharing!
Great video! I've been doing a lot of polyphonic splitting (though I never thought of that name haha) and some vocoder layering on my future soul productions ... excited to try the rest :)
Nr. 6 Resampled reverb, sorry, sounds like “Last Christmas“ from Wham for me😁. But thank you for your video. Layering synth is a gread method against boring sounds. Thank you for imspiration.
4:19 This particular melody was freakin' beautiful! Thank you for showing us these amazing tricks. 😊 Also 9:25 That's so good! 😮 Another thing: I'm a metal head who was always interested in synths. I'm planning to buy a good beginner synth but I'm still looking things up. Any ideas?! 😅
pretty neat stuff you show here and I am pretty much doing this in FL using the included plugin Patcher, it is a super underestimated plugin with endless potential, in practice you can create super instruments or FX within this plugin and use this a sa standalone instrument. you could add as many synths and affects as you computer are able to run and then trigger this with a single midi pattern. it´s really neat ones you know this
My play my synthesizers I play an instrument can I make music when you try to make music that looks like you're trying to play a video game and you don't really even know what your doing how do you make good music with software like this😂
about the phisical modelling tip, if i understood the idea is instead of just use a synth, also use a vsti thats based on some real instrument and/or layer both? i got kinda distracted by the fx of that vsti, so i thought was one that it used the mechanics/characteristics of a real instrument as kinda of sampler
how are they creative ideas if ur giving them away people would be copying them from u...thats not creative, its the oppositive of creative and its lazy. this is nonsense. just make music, stop this gimmick.
