since Flume latest Album & your [How to Flume latest album] Tutorial, I've been using granular synthesis in my every project & it has completely levelled up my production & changed my sound.
I just looked up this video to see what granular synthesis is after my friend mentioned it and now i'm coming back to this video on the verge of tears just to listen to everything because it sounds so beautiful I want this synth so badly and ive never felt more inspired
Im doing a Music Technology Project for my Bachelor, and plan on using granular Synthesis as one of the main focuses. This was so helpful and by far the best video I‘ve seen on the Subject! :)
I wanna personally say a big thank you for all your tutorials on the granular synthesis and demystifying flume music, without you I would stray for the secret for months.
Dude literally one of the best tutorials i have ever watched. And I dont know how many I have watched during the last 10 Years, but it must be a lot haha. Thank you for this insane quality and all the hours of work you put in it.
I just LOVE granular synthesis so much!! It's also great for creating tuned atmospheres with pretty much any instrument playing an arpeggiated chord with some reverb. I really gotta check this Quanta plugin tho it looks amazing :P
Man, you are the Best! I found your video about New flume's album, in which you talked about granular, 3 months ago. And then i downloaded ableton only because of granular 2. Maaaan, my music steped up. Thank you, bro, keep it up! You inspire people! (yo, that bass vocal on 5:15 is sooooo sick!!)
Idk why but discovering granular synthesis has given me a whole new wave of motivation to make music and it's not even in the same style that i would usually go for.
Thank you so much for this video, just got into granular and thought it would be cool but everything I made almost blew out my ear drums and sounded terrible but you really explained how to not make garbage sounds all the time 🙏🏾
@@ontherisemusic9785 I like Billie Eilish, Flume, Slayer, Noisia and Mozart among other great musicians. Variety keeps life interesting and inspirational (:
for those who want to mimic the effect of granular synthesis without a dedicated vst, you can load a sample into your favorite sampler, control the sampler with an arpeggiator or fast midi trigger and just play with the beginning of the sample, there are some samplers that can't automate this parameter but you can still record a jam by resampling on another channel or device, that's not exactly for time stretch but works great for flume's granular style
just torrent lol. pay later when ur making money but i see so many producers not able to afford and going broke. like my guy, just torrent, and pay later when u have the money lmao. dont be restricted.
Back again. Would you ever consider completing and releasing the final product in this video? I come back to listen to it regularly. Great work on the EP by the way, you have such a unique and recognisable sound.
I heard Jaron - These thoughts in my head a while ago and I couldn't sleep what this guy did to make those intros and drops. I guess this granular synthesis it is. I have a feeling some next big genre is going to use this synthesis in it.
Hey aiden , is there any way i can randomize the position according to the note i play, so everytime i play a different note it gets a different position or random position
I was really hoping you would show how to make keys using the granulator, and I'd like you to deepen on that. (although I noticed that using a C note one shot sample can get decent results with some reasonable tuning)
Quanta should have the most avaiable options? Using crusher-x will change your mind drastically ;) I thought it would be nearly impossible to make generically boring stuff with granular synthesis. You've proven me wrong. Quanta is indeed a good tool to have.
i've been playing around with this for ages and i don't get the tuning for it - i ran it through melodyne after processing it through quanta and its still playing in a scale rather than a single note?
With most granular synths . You play the notes you want the sample to be on a keyboard . Or you could hook it to a sequencer . Either way you tell it what notes to play you can play chords or single note melodies just like a piano and the pitch of the original sample will change . Granular synth technology came out of time stretch and pitch shift technology. It doesn’t matter what the original note or notes or lack of note the original sample had
@@clear_gray_sky539 I think he's asking about the root note of the sample you load into the synth. Like with a sampler instrument in ableton for example, you load a sample into the instrument and have to tell the sampler what the root key or note of the sample is, so when you hit a note on a midi keyboard it plays the correct corresponding note. I found this hard to explain in a simple way so I hope you understand what I mean.
@@CalvinHolster Thanks clear_gray_sky for your explanation, yes CalvinT that is what I'm trying to convey. In the other granular vst called "Phase Plant," it has the ability to set the root note of the sample.
@@javiell phase plant isn't *really* granular synth, but can recreate single looping grain-style granular synthesis with the sampler (Don't know why exactly I mentioned this). Phase plant is getting a proper granular generator in the future however, and I can't wait.
Can you draw MIDI using granular synthesis, or is everything Flume does just dragging audio files onto different channels and automating parameters for each? Just wondering if there's a faster workflow using this technique. Any advice would be much appreciated ✌️
