I've just bought FL Producer Pack, opened it and... I can use FL Keys only O.o Regarding software sythesizers, I have impression they all do the same, just with a different layout and presets. Thank you Jef for a really good explanation!
This video is excellent, your teaching style is thorough yet approachable. The resonance walkthrough being a good example of demonstrating a concept in an easy to understand manner. Thank you for making this!
I am just getting into synthesisers after getting a Lead 4. A few minutes to your video, I find it extremely details, simple and I am learning so many things. Thank you very much for putting this up. Hats off to you Sir!
Great instruction. The demonstrations contextualize the changes in sound. This is the first time I could understand the distinction o Attack, Decay, Sustain, and Release. That filter visual helped a lot. Thanks, Jeff.
I almost never leave comments under yt videos but I had to say THANK YOU!! I have a background in classical piano but not a clue about synthesis, and I just started playing around with a Korg Minilogue, your explanations make it much easier! I kinda know what I'm doing now :) Great job!
I've been looking for a fundamental breakdown of these concepts as I'm breaking into synthesis and this is exactly what I needed, truly amazing and clear instruction, thank you.
Thanks for making this video! You really make things easy to understand and have de-mystified alot for me as to how All synthesizers work! I already knew about the Basic Components of a synth, but I couldn’t understand until now how they can be used! I look forward to more on this subject!
Brilliant video, thank you. You started at the beginning and laid a solid foundation. Very clear and well explained. Looking forward to watching lots more of your stuff.
Great video - I knew a good amount of this already but I wanted a video which really explained things clearly so that there could be no doubt in my mind. And this video is it. Well done!
This was a GREAT introduction to synthesis. I have been playing with Serum and a few other soft synths, still a noobie, but your video helped me understand a lot! Thanks for making this! And as others have stated, great production value, professional video!
Superb synth intro tutorial! I recently begun playing with synths and managed to figure all this out on my own but it is awesome to have this 30 minute reference video to goto when you want crystal clear explanations in layman terms to explain to others how it works :-) Perfect video for anyone who looks at a synth and is clueless of what is going on inside! I can't wait for your next video :-) Thank you so much!! You are awesome!
Most intuitive music channel there is. Maschine tutorials is how I found your channel and I've always wanted to start sound design with synths so I have my own sounds and no more presets.
Amazing, such a fantastic, calm and collected way of explaining things. Like showing the waveforms changing on the computer (which is more visual) and then comparing it to what’s happening on the analogue synths. For some people, I think if they don’t understand _why_ things are working the way they do, they will find the concepts hard to grasp. And you explain the “why”/“how” part of things so well for people. Incredible work! Subscribed immediately
I know this video is a couple years old already but this was one of the best synthesizer basics videos I have ever come across (for me personally I should say). It was clear. It was informative. It was interesting. You had chapters. You had overlays with information. You used multiple types of synthesizers (hardware/software/different brands) as examples. You discussed concepts at both a theoretical and practical level without bogging down the content too much. Thank you very much for this resource Jef.
Best introduction into synthesizers. I could not for the life of me "get" certain things throughout ALL the videos I've watched in the past 8 months but this video goes step by step with the fundamentals of sound so I felt comfortable because you were taking us step by step and not just part by part.
I just want to say thank you, and to everyone else for sharing your knowledge, novices such as myself wouldn't get anywhere without your help, I'm learning keyboard and maybe late synth, just for my own entertainment, and I am really enjoying the journey.
Totally reminds me of my early days with the Yamaha MT44, and compatible little synth; all the controls coloring the sounds. Thank you for the refresher here, Sir!
This is extremely useful for beginners.To the point and everything is explained in an easy to understand way. It would be amazing if you could make more advanced synthesis tutorials. Thanks!
Super useful video! I really enjoyed seeing demo's on both software and hardware synths. I have the minilogue myself and I love it but seeing things like an enveloppe in software like serum makes you realize what you're actually doing by turning that knob. Looking forward to more of this! Next up on my watchlist is your minilogue video :)
Thank you very much for this video. I'm kind of new to the synthesis-world, and I "knew" this stuff already, but it's always great to get things actually explained to you to have a better understanding. Also, I haven't seen a kind of over all "tutorial" kind of video in which someone would make example sounds using the different waveshapes and explaining the "route" to a certain kind of sound. Like a bass, lead and a pad kind of sounds. A video like that would be greatly appreciated. Also a video on simple modulation, perhaps using something else as source than an LFO. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Jef. Your presentation is very professional. Thank you for the clear concise explanations, without jargon, and without any “Let’s go ahead and....” That expression drives me nuts. Thank you. Have subscribed.
I've learned a bit of this stuff from various videos, but never about the actual reality of harmonics and all those partials as they relate to different kinds of waveforms. Your presentation is just beautiful, and all for anyone to watch who comes across it. Definitely an example of what makes RU-vid so amazing.
Jef, thank you. Great stuff. Clear and thorough. I am new to this world of synthesis and digital audio. Just discovered you yesterday and you are already providing me with a significant foundation. First watched your Pigments 2 tutorial. Fantastic.
Such a clear explanation of the inner workings of a synthesizer. Just by watching this video, I have a clear understanding of the basics. Love the calm energy and the perfect setup of your recording equipment. Good sound, good camerawork etc.Thnx Jef, It made me subscribe immediately!
I love that you use Cubase. I've been with Steinberg since 1994, when it was just a midi program for a Mac, installed from a floppy disc. Back before VST. A lot of people don't realize that it was Steinberg that introduced ASIO drivers and compatibility. Also, Steinberg introduced VST to the plugin scene. Back when Steinberg VST was the first PC based digital audio work station application called Steinberg Virtual Studio Technology (VST), which is where VST plugins came from, based off of the old Direct-X programming base.
Great explaination of the fundamental components. I hope for a follow up to this series where we might see how to design certain kind of sounds like leads, pads, bass, etc. Best Regards!
My journey into understanding a syth continues. Thank you for this instruction. One more step out of the way. Being on a tight budget I am restricted to finding as much free stuff as possible. Starting with the DAW. I think one of my favorite plugins is Zebralette. Followed closely by Alchemy (camel studios). Thank you for clearing up some of the mystery of stages and controls.
Where have you been my whole life. I’m in Toronto to would love to connect with you. Keep up the great work. Not sure if you teach in person in The 6 but you should. You are a Master of your craft🙏🏾
