I think the perfect example of this is Neon Pattern Drums by Jon Hopkins. One of my favorite tracks of all time.

I do this in every track as well. I am just using two random LFOs controlling different parameters of Delays and Beat Repeats, send the audio through it that I want to fuck up, record everything and then pick the parts that fit the best. If you do this to almost every layer in your track you'll create a fuckton of glitches you can then use in every way possible to make the track way more interesting. It's actually the most essetial tool for my workflow as a glitch producer.

Love this style. Rival Consoles - Recovery hit me hard back in 2015. I was inspired for months.

Great concept! Rival consoles approach to this is actually to have different send groups with loads of fx and then just automate the send level. Source: Rival Consoles

I've made electronic music since 1995 and I still get inspiration for new things watching your videos. Interestingly enough, I've actually always done something similar to this process without really having any intention other than just goofing around.

This concept absolutely blew my mind! As a very green producer, I’ve been exploring how some of my favorite producers manage to give me goosebumps and this is absolutely something I plan to start playing with in Ableton. Thank you!🙏

I’m hesitating to get into my DAW TODAY 😂😂😂 thanks for the inspiration 🎉

this is a cool approach, i think he just plays with lfo on lfo, cutoffs, and then plays parts out quite a bit. I myself automate a ton to do these kind of things (i.e. automate turning on portal, automate wet/dry portal, etc.. and so on)

Oscar can you please make a video of this topic in depth... love it

a nice way to not get bored of making music

Great tutorial Oscar! I'm in love with that riff sound. In addition....that kick! The low's are so big.

thank you, fanstastic tip and good mini track

Very nice and thought provoking technique - thanks Oscar!

Perfect teacher ❤cool advice. Simple and fast. Love it !

Nice. Really nice. I need to try with next song

Great subject for a tutorial right here. Love this - max cooper is one of my favourite artists and part of that is his use of this technique. Smashing it on this channel as always, love it man.

I Always enjoy your tutorials, you always take a topic and make it really accessible for people making music!! I took your Techno Start to Finish Course as well. A lot of fun!! Cheers!!

this sounds a lot like the background music/ambience in mirror's edge, awesome tutorial

Now that was something completely new to me. Good stuff! I'll have a lot of fun exploring this. ❤

Great video as always. I'm sure you have tons of ideas for future videos, but I'd love to see a tips and tricks tutorial on building Groove. I'm looking forward to your Foundations 2 course. Keep up the great work Oscar!

An interesting technique for sure. The approach is quite similar to when classical music sometimes present fragments of the main themes in preludes or developmental sections before finally playing them in full. It is all about storytelling!

cool workflow, super inspiring!

I love your videos. Always inspiring!

perfect technique! Love it !

great video oscar! love your content!

Are you planning to do a course with this style of music like Jon hopkins, max cooper, Rival Consoles? I would be all over it 100% sure. Or foundations 2 will have topics? Thanks for everything, your way of teaching is awesome.

Bedankt Oscar, Altijd geweldig inhoud!

You are so good at what you do. Brilliant teacher.

I'm ready to... hesitate! Messing with already existing parts of a song, mixing an messing up parts or smearing it into an ambient song is a really fun way to create textures that still contain all the characteristics of the track. Great tips as always, can't wait for more Oscars with different hats in the future!

Oh shit. My man is doing one of my favorites! Thanks!

Love your videos Oscar!

Nice! That's a beautiful motif too ❤

awesome work

the new studio lookin gooooood ^^

your channel is a treasure, thanks for all this content

Great tutorial!

Another interesting way to do this, is bounce the original to audio, then mess with the length of the audio in warp, and adjust the grain size when the sample is SUPER long vs the original BPM, this gives you kind of a similar infinite grain pieces to mess with.

Great technique...

this is great content 🙌

I can't wait to hesitate

This is awesome! FilterFreak also has loads of presets. Gonna use this technique on a tune tonight!

I hate YOU ... ;) ... I spend days on a track in my studio like batman in his cave ... and every time when i'm almost done , you release a new video, and it's off again for a month of work with your new techniques !!! Thank you Oscar, thank you for sharing, it's always interesting and very well explained, thank you for the music sir.

lol cirez d full stop comes to mind immediately. it is painfully aware of its hesitance

I just found your channel. Great content, man!

Nice one!

I Love to Watch your videos!

OMG! This ttrack is soo good! I want it! I NEED IT !!!!!

You sir are amazing.

Very interesting!

YES! More of Max Cooper please

your awesome Oscar :)

Rival Consols is mega amazing

Great idea to really add depth and class to a lead!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Also, I’d contact Bicep and see if you could release that as a remix, that drop is quality🙌🏼🙌🏼

dope!

Oh Oscar! I was watching on TV but I had to switch my computer on just to give you a big THANK YOU! This is fucking cool...

I've never seen Max Cooper like that. That's some good inspiration, thanks Oscar! Btw, the Arranger hat looks good on you, you should wear it more often ;) 5:20 blew my mind.

Muy buen video. Me inspiró bastante, Óscar 🎉 🎉🎉 Añadiría un cuarto plugin interesante para este proceso como ShaperBox... La idea de dejar el motivo principal y debajo del mismo trocitos super-alterados es realmente muy útil, aunque yo particularmente prefiero silenciar o cortar el trozo de motivo principal en caso de que ese fragmento lo cubra con uno alternativo... (Disculpa que escriba en mi idioma nativo, pero mi inglés es deficiente y por ello veo tus vídeos subtitulados al español). Excelente contenido como siempre 👌👌

Cheers for this! Love Jon Hopkins myself ,id also recommend the vst Stutter Edit, i think theres an upgraded version now, is fricken awesome for effects

Very useful. Thank you. I notice you have your laptop open with a mixer screen and a larger format additional screen with the main arranger view. How d'you do that?

Hi Oscar, last year you promised that there will be a great discount on your courses. Now the new year progresses with immense steps and I still wait for a great discount on your foundations of electronic music course. Did I miss something?? If I am wrong, please tell I am. I really love your content.

Nice! I like how you actually teach vocabulary to articulate music and how you can put the words on vibes I have always felt naturally but never new how to define.

In astrology, the concept of the Gemini-Sagittarius axis is studied as an exploration that involves asking questions and finding firm answers, and hesitating by questioning them again. In other words, it's about oscillating between playing with questions (exploring) and finding answers that channel a direction. This is how the axis of learning is represented. I swear I'm not on drugs, haha. It's just that I identify a lot with the "random" nature of this process, and sometimes I hesitate and need something clearer to guide me for a while before questioning everything again. Your teaching style really catches my attention, Oscar. My respects to you. And thanks for sharing the names of interesting people to listen to, even though I must admit I'm getting more and more lost when it comes to genres, haha. But well... the idea of exploring is to search until we find what we feel fits us, and sometimes putting labels on things makes us miss out on searching in places due to prejudices... Anyway, too much philosophy for today. I send you a hug, and down with labels! But if you could explain what genre the musicians you recommended are, it would help me a bit with the missing Sagittarius, haha.

This is super Jon Hopkins like Singularity or Immunity era stuff

Cool, quite interesting way to create FX Layers for transitions, btw, AHHH, Oscar, your arm is cut off !! 3:00

Great video! I’ve noticed your monitors placed on the table don’t have any acoustic foam under it. Don’t you have trouble with bass resonance on the table?

Hi oscar ! I was just trying something like this but couldnt end up with something satisfying. Unfortunately i cant afford the vsts you are mentioning and I m kinda new too granular modulation too so the free vsts i could find are a bit hard to master. Do you happen to know a video that explains it clearly or a more accessible vst ? Thanks for all the ideas !

Big Tip!

Thanks for the great advice as usual Oscar ! Just wondering something though, couldn't you just send the audio of the main motif channel to 10 different tracks which you then put various effects on, and then record these tracks, instead of copying the whole track over 10 times ? It would for sure be way less costly in CPU, but I don't know if there could be a downside to it regarding workflow and all that. Regardless, please keep up the amazing work ! 🤩

Hmm.....that portal thing is more useful than i thought

💜💜💜

❤ fu**ing genius 🖤

Cool

Can we buy the project anywhere ?

Hi Oscar 😀what screen is that i are using with your macbook

Il est drôlement bien ce petit son clubby

🖤

Are those plugins free?

HOW DO YOU ALWAYS KNOW WHAT I WANT?!?!?!?!?

When I see you I never hesitate #youaremymotif

🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥🙌🔥👍

DDOPPPPEEEEEE!!!!!!!

Where are you located? State? Country?

rude boys strike

*hesitates in ableton live lite*

Now I wish for a 4 on the floor version of Apricots…

come on u gunners

I was, err, very uhm, attracted, erm, to the title of this, erm video. I think. 😊

interesting

meanwhile the song turned into something great 👌

ye ye ye bla bla bla.. where i cAN HAVE THIS SONG!!!

Nice ideas that feel like they could lead to some cool sounds 👍 But, for me, the video is too short and feels rushed, I would've preferred a slightly more in-depth explanation. We're not all from the TikTok generation, you know, we can handle longer ideas 😉

I have heard this advice before, never so concise... Usually you have to wade through hours of paid tutorials for something like this.

Is it supposed to be hesitate or hestitate ? Title reads "hesitate" but the text appering at the start shows "hestitate". 🤔 Got me a little confused

This actually explains why Rival Consoles is kind of boring to me. If he did it on one track, it would be good, but he does it over and over again.

Hestitate?

Btw "how to hesTitate?"? 0:06

Now teach how to Andrewtate
