This is actually how I know the information will be helpful unfortunately, for some reason the most brilliant minds are often not the most popular. So lucky we all found eachother!!! Let’s make dirty house!
Tim, what a legend! I've watched all of your Beginners Guides... amazing. The history, tutorials AND the links to the featured tracks!!❤🔥I'm 52 and have rediscovered tunes from my youth and discovered similar/adjacent music. Not to mention what you're doing for my production skills. Keep up the great work.
Where did the years go, Brother? It was perhaps 7 or 8 years ago, that I was a fresh-faced 18-year-old, excitedly getting on a tube to Vauxhall, destination the Arches, Godding Street, for Club Sandwich, the awesome club night put on by Smart Boys pirate radio station. However, in twelve days time I too will be 52 years old!!! How'd that happen??? 🤪
@@sparklesparklesparkle6318 weird and cool.. it sounds like the music is inducing a sympathetic experience causing you to overuse your serotonin. I think your body is remembering a VERY good times. Just get some sun to re-balance out your melatonin/serotonin level... I've had that happen with darude sandstorm
every video you've posted is absolute gold. there's massive value in learning where the sounds i've been hearing my whole life have come from and your delivery is fantastic. massive fan of the channel.
If you just want something to give you a bunch of sounds to work with out of the box, "Rave generator" is a free VST that is basically nothing but a bunch of stab samples.
Great video. FYI you can turn down unison stereo width right in Serum in the unison settings (defaults at 100 but you just turn it down to 0) no need for the utility after.
I'm just starting to learn about music production, so this video is perfectly timed and super valuable. It's a great insight to how these stabs came to be and a bit about the subculture in general
Your attention to detail is exemplary,I’ve been making music since notator on the Atari up to ableton12 currently and in all that time I’ve seeked answers that I’ve never been able to get up until now April 2024,the landlord patch amongst others 🙌
Redux ontop of the ableton simpler is a good way to get the old sampler sound Bitcrush to the correct specs and make sure to use pre and post filer for the "dark" sound, adjust cutoff to liking Fairlight CMI/II: 16kHz, 8bit Emu-Lator II: 27kHz, 8bit Akai S2000: 22kHz, 16bit Alot of these could have higher specs in some cases [usually only really short samples], but for that asort of sound you want the worst possible sound they have. Sloppy sample work also helps to keep some grit, none of the people back then could really finetune trim samples. Alot of interesting dark texture comes from sounds you dont want still being in the sample The simpler already works like the old samplers to begin with considering resampling/detuning too
Seriously though, Tim, you Sir, are fucking nailing it! These videos are phenomenal!!! Who else is busting with pride at the amount of tracks mentioned in these videos that are sitting in their vinyl collection? Also, anyone else got one of their kids, in my case my youngest, my 15-year-old son, whose now obsessed with vinyl? We went to HMV in Truro a couple of weeks back, and, as I browsed the dance section, he kept running up, clutching a slab of the precious plastic, beaming with passion and desire at his various finds. Takes me right back. 😍
An absolutley brilliant forensic breakdown of Rave Stabs. Indexed, all tracks linked. Gold standard stuff. I am so glad that the algorithm suggested otherwsie would never had discovered. Have now subscribed ... and thank you so much for doing this.
this is a fantastic video, ive always wanted to learn more about early rave music and just never knew where to start. ill definitely be using some of these tracks in my dj sets. theres just something so otherworldly about parallel harmony (using the same chord structure and moving it around) and i cant get enough of it
Man, I thought I was gonna see a documentary about covert psychedelic-fueled EDM concert violence. But instead I learned that a rave stab is that sound I frikken love in every dance song. Noice!
YEAH BABY THAT'S WHAT WE BEEN WAITING FOR THAT'S WHAT'S ALL ABOUT WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH I Was really getting stuck at this, very much arigato you sick bastard
Thank you, this is beyond awesome! The only reason this is not the best video on the internet ever is because what about A beginner's guide to Jungle Bass & Jungle Breakbeat then :)
Okay so I listened to Tim's latest A/B and I LOVE those tracks. Wilderness is so perfect. Reminds me quite a lot of my favourite tracks from Logistics. Absolute find! You guys should go listen!
awesome video, tim! small thing - you say around 29:20 that you may want to turn width down using something like Utility. this can actually be done within serum in the Global tab at the top by turning down the Width!
here i am, realizing that I do not in fact know everything and deciding to educate myself on rave stabs.. looking down the list of videos... and I see this one. if a "begginer's guide" is 32 minutes long, that's the begginers guide I want. thank you for this.
mate, really great videos! cant wait to watch the rest. if i do have one critique, however, it would be to see ableton in full screen less. maybe interject with some more pictures? as someone who spends most of their waking hours staring at ableton, it's kinda disorienting cause I cant remember if I'm watching a video or still producing, lol Also, please do a beginners guide to dub sirens!
Never lived that era , im 30. But whenever i hear arave stab/ hoover bass in a party idk, i sense some nostalgia and unique feeling, that no other samples gives me
Tim I had no idea you did RU-vid! Just thought I would drop a comment, not sure if you remember me on liquid tones back some time ago. Good to see you are doing well mate. All the best.
Oh shit I thought this video was going to be satire about stabbing people at raves. I nearly lost my mind laughing at the start when he mentioned talking about the culture context of rave stabs 😭
awesome. i always assumed the landlord stab was a piano heavily processed. rave generator and rave generator 2 are must haves. great stuff, subbed the channel thanks!
I really love these videos, you do such a great job on them thanks for taking the time! Cant wait to see what comes next in this series! A beginners guide to acid lines?
That’s an interesting idea, but I’m not much of an acid expert. There are many people better-qualified (and better equipped) than me to make such a video 🙃 On the other hand you’re the second person to ask about this in the last couple of days, maybe there’s something useful I could make at some point 🤔
This is a real time trip, more so than the beats. “You can recognize these sounds even if you haven't heard the records”-well you don't say. And indeed I'm not too familiar with early hardcore. Now, if someone made such an excursion into sounds of 90s-early 2000s techno, I could pretty much close up in this Matrix.
