Hey guys, thanks for letting me know! Yeah I saw Alan Walker using one of my packs and it's insane 😳 what a banger type of news what the hell

@emonmusicstudios 9 месяцев назад

You deserve it!

@milhouse777 Год назад

About the "weird arragements" skrillex is doing music with a musician mindset, and not like a DJ thinking in 4/8/16 bars to mix a breakdown into a buildup in a dj set

@NOLINK74 Год назад

@@ohno6325 No it's true.. we often try and "do too much" as i like to say to fix a track that isn't that great, recently I've gotten better at noticing when I'm forcing a track and I just instantly delete it and move tf on

@nejmanja Год назад

I think the key in simple/minimalistic tracks is defining a really strong main element and making it either evolve over time, or "fill the mix" (imo every element should have a purpose and not just be thrown as filler) with really subtle elements that complement the sonic picture of the chosen main element

@Sinner487 Год назад

2 steps for good music: 1. keep it simple 2. MAKE IT DYNAMIC AF this is what space laces, skrillex, noisia and many more do for their iconic beats

@Oversampled Год назад

@ethanedwards9136 Год назад

I also think part of the 5 parts to 3 parts trick in "Supersonic" has to do with subverting your listeners' expectations. It really makes that 2nd drop hit harder when it feels earlier. He does this a couple more times in the album like on "Inhale Exhale"

@synthsystem Год назад

@djcj Год назад

LOVE this breakdown man! Really awesome observations. That 99% mono vocals one blew my mind

@Deep_Blu Год назад

simplicity makes it accessible to more people, but not necessarily better in my opinion

@rpgaleksy Год назад

Especially the part about mono vocals is interesting imo. It somehow evokes the feeling of a limited production from the beginnings of electronic music, assuming you only have a handful of tracks to use. The priority is not the voice but the basses and sounds around it, so it gets less attention by only having a mono instead of a stereo channel dedicated for it. Reminds me of the old school dubstep or UK Garage stuff, Burial for example. As if you used a file sharing app to download a crappy mono rip of a CD of which you sampled the vocals. But without the crappy compression. tl;dr: nostalgia

@supremeuppercut 11 месяцев назад

Good ish! 🤘🏼 (as always)

@danielvousden565 Год назад

At the moment, I've actually started making all my music in mono (using a stereo imager and reducing the width). I'll change back to stereo every now and then to see how it's shaping up, but it helps me to focus on tone and song structure, instead of the exact placement of sounds. The mono mixing of vocals also helps with radio play. While stereo vox sounds amazing in headphones, radio stations/car stereos/ phone speakers can end up cutting out that end, and just give you mono instead. While most producers just want their music loud, it's better to focus on dynamics, because that's more interesting to the ear. I don't doubt that Skrillex carefully produces with dynamics, but not too much that the mix is ruined. Great vid, man, keep it up :)

@BuiltbyF Год назад

it's not so much what elements you pick, but how they harmonise and how it fits together. Context is the be all end all really. If you only have a handful of sounds but they all slap and fit together perfectly you can do a lot with that.

@nexeration Год назад

You can take the seperation between Vocals and Instrumental a bit further by using a plugin like soothe with sidechaining only the sides of the vocals. So the instrumental ducks down the stereo signal of the vocals in a dynamic way but you still got some stereo signal left which differs from the instrumental.

@eluherlu Год назад

No 2 : When your track have vocals of course you don't want many other things to clash with the vocals.

Yo desde hace tiempo uso el truco de mantener la dinámica, así hago que el drop suene con más fuerza, eso lo aprendí escuchando un track de Kaizo y otro de Arcthurians, los demás tíos si no los aplicaba pero es muy bueno saber todo esto de parte del gran Skrillex y que tu nos traigas está conclusión sobre sus álbumes, en serio eres un genio 💛💛💛

@EffyFluars Год назад

First to watch cool tutorial :p

@michaeldeely2044 Год назад

His simplistic tracks are great because, and I know you don’t wanna hear this, 99% of the time when an edm producer makes it complicated they are sitting at their computers for hours and since they’re listening to the song their making for hours it’s browning and there needs to be more stuff. More stuff gets added and for a person that listened for 3 mins it’s just way too much, too many changes, too many things, and the song gets ruined

@PoboyMusic Год назад

Yeah thats a problem for sure. Thats why its good not to overlisten and make sure you work quickly. If you listen too much it seems stale and you end up adding more stuff.

@tylerproffit1627 Год назад

Also I think it’s good to make minimalistic stuff as well as complex. Complex stuff is important to distinguish your music from typical sounds and happy accidents arise from complexity, it’s like a science experiment. But yeah sometimes you have to know when to scrap an experiment that’s doomed

@freewheelburning8834 Год назад

so it makes sense to use the Utility or the "Tool" in my case to turn the gain up in Bitwig after the compressor or limiter if I want it loud without destroying the dynamics?

@Oversampled Год назад

Yeah, that's what's called a makeup gain. You first compress the tops and by that make the sound quieter and then boost the gain to bring the volume back, but now it's perceived louder. Some compressors have makeup gains or gain match, like Ozone on the video, although they're not fully accurate

@7ars471 Год назад

one thing that is very interesting is how low-mid heavy the mixes are. comparing it with his older stuff or dance music in general, Most mixes cut alot of 300-800 hz and are very present in the highs. his approach is quiet the opposite, focusing mostly on the low-mid harmonics and not being overly screechy. Which also gives more room for the few elements that do sit in the high end. Absolute genius
