The only correction I’d offer for anyone who is watching this and who is trying to learn the basics regarding intervals, at ~06:48 the interval of G2 to C3 is accidentally called a Perfect Fifth when it’s actually a Perfect 4th. If we inverted those two notes putting C3 on the bottom and moving the G up to what would be G3 on top, then that intervalic distance would consist of 7 semitones, otherwise known as a Perfect 5th. Understandable slip up since the two are so closely related. As a side note and again to anyone trying to learn theses things, here’s a tip to always be able to easily identify what the inversion (or opposite) of any given interval is: both interval numbers added together equal 9. So a 3rd inverted is a 6th, a 5th inverted is a 4th. So by knowing what one interval is, coupled with basic arithmetic, you can quickly and easily determine what the intervalic inversion is. Taken one step further, the intervalic qualities invert as well. So a Major 3rd inverted is a minor 6th, an augmented 2nd inverted is a diminished 7th. And Perfect intervals inverted are also Perfect, hence the name ; ) Great content, keep it up!
From what I've seen so far: - Understandable explanations - Great presentation; you seem to show off you know what you're talking about - Good simple videos with annotations that make sense - SuperB original content overall - Wishing you a shit load of subs... speaking of: subbed!
Generous and motivational analysis, thanks for the support! ❤ Starting from scratch on YT is hard to get attention, but I hope it starts reaching & helping more people soon!
@@OscarUnderdog You're welcome! Pro-tip: look for groups on reddit where you can contribute/answer questions, and/or link to your vids, like r/edmproduction/ , r/TechnoProduction , /r/DJs, /r/beatmatch, /r/ableton , etc. Sure, there is a lot of competition/content out there already, but imo most make it either too complicated or not structured, or using exotic VST's etc. This is where you shine as an experienced teacher breaking it down and keeping it structured.
@@bascurtiz You named proper "r" channels 👍. As form me, i'll share this channel among my friends, some of S. Tolkachev's current students should see it and subscribe. Greetings from Kiev, UA
I am from Brazil, I am learning how to produce electronic music and I love your way to teach, it's a peculiar talent that few people have for sharing concepts and ideas... Thank you for that. Btw, I love Brussels and Belgium
Tom’s have been one of those things that sit on my list to understand more. This video provided a great workflow and understanding “placement then pitch “ subbed thank you!
love your youtube channel, love your courses. I did once perform the courses at Deutsche POP Akademie (also available in Belgium) and payed many thousands of Euros. Just to get much detailed information but no structure at all. You got the point of giving a structure and implemented this in your course, which I highly appreciate. And it's available for less money. Thanks for that, mate. I really love your work!
This education is incredible. Been making music in my bedroom for 8 years now and rythm is my weakest game. Easy to play a 4 beat banger but hard to master it like you have
How in the WORLD is there 19 "dislikes"!? What kind of human being says..."Nah, all wrong" "This is so bad". It's mind numbing. Thanks for this amazing tutorial UEMS!!!!
Thank you so much you've just hit "the nail on the head" my tracks were missing that concept.... ive just added the toms groove, fits like a glove thanks again
this is such a useful tutorial. i saw this in my sub box ages ago and didn't even bother to watch it until now because much like your student i never had the intention to (learn how to) use toms. or rather, i had no idea what to use them for. i'm having a lot of fun with them on my 707 now. thanks oscar!
This channel is my best find on YT in 2021 :p + it's near my home and this is by far the most detailled tutorials , you just dont replicate something , you really learn the mechanics of the sound , thanks for providing us all that knowledge
I really like the way you explain and present information. Not too much, not to simple. Really a great balance! And you really get the feeling that you love music and like teaching and helping others to evolve
Could you do a video explaining how to create the fluttery synth slowing down/speeding up? All your content is absolute fire by the way! Some real good tips here
I dont produce house music but watching these videos are very interesting from a sound design and production standpoint. Definitely looking to try this out
Can someone please explain what a Tom is? I'm new to this (but I'm really enjoying it). Thanks in advance. You got a sub Oscar! I really appreciate creators and teachers like you! 🌌
Thank you for the amazing informative video as usual, keep it up man 🙏🏽, but i have a little question, In order for the toms to be effective they got to have a little lows, but how do you mix that up with the track if you have a bassline ?
Thanks Oscar, this was very informative! I'll be applying this with more confidence and structure from now on! One question that I was left with at the end of this video however is how do you avoid a muddy low end in the mix? In your example there are the following elements: (1) kick, (2) toms, (3) bass accompanying the toms and (4) subbass. Normally I would sidechain the (4) subbass to the kick (1). Where do 2 and 3 fit in all this? Any recommendations? Cheers and many thanks!
You sir really explain things very clearly and in a great way. I am happy i found your channel. There's so many youtubers who make similar tutorials but it's just hard to follow and understand. You really hit the sweet spot perfectly!
High quality videos. Clear explanation. Giving the high level overview while still providing concrete examples without getting lost in the specifics of which tool your using to create the sound design. This channel is phenomenal. Great work.
Hey bro! Think I caught you when you had like 500 subs. Great to see your progress on this platform. Your videos are slick af and it’s reassuring to see that, in this case at least, RU-vid is a meritocracy. Bless up!
I think what he means is that a perfect fifth above is 7 semitones, and the same note an octave down is 5 semitones down. So G is 7 semitones/ a perfect fifth above C, but also 5 semitones below C, but it also caught me off guard a little. Anyway, have a great day!
Great video! and not to blame it but in order to help people communicate better with the correct musical terms, this should be taken care of. G2 is "perfect 4th down" from C3, which is -5 semitones. If one says "perfect 5th down from C3", it is F2, which is -7 semitones.
great tutorial. my only question is: is it an issue that all of these low-end elements play at the same time? do we have to do some eqing to fit the tom and bass better, i.e cut the low end from the bass and keep only the low end for the tom. Or another example being to sidechain the toms and bass to the sub bass.
Thanks for the interesting video! But I wanted to know how about the frequency conflict of toms and bass? And do bass toms need to be converted to mono?
Well presented lesson & I'm subscribing... I have to point out, however, -5 semitones is a perfect 4th interval below (not P5), which happens to be the same pitch as +7 semitones, a perfect 5th above. They may both be the "5th scale degree" (assuming the original pitch is the 1st), but a perfect 5th is an internal, a distance between two notes, and all perfect 5ths are exactly 7 semitones while perfect 4ths are always 5 semitones, regardless of direction. Although, the inverse is not necessarily true in music theory, i.e., 4 semitones can also create an augmented 3rd, but it'll sound the same as a P4 in equal temperament, even if it's notated in an unusual way.
Thank you! Also subscribed to the channel from this video, but I've seen several people say that he was correct to call it a P5 because it's the 5th scale degree in the Key of C just inverted but... that's not factually the case. Descending to the 5th scale degree does not a P5 make. A P4 is a P4, regardless of any harmonic context. I think he just slipped up, jumping through the logic in his brain without offering the further clarification. I think he understands all that, just moved a little quickly through the explanation, but it's important to clarify because then you get people in the comments thinking that a P5 is when you move from root to fifth scale degree! And to clarify to anyone reading: the inverse of a P5 is a P4. C ascending to G is a P5. C descending (inverse motion) to G is a P4.
Thank you so much for this.. Your channel is pure gold.. One question though. I have heard a lot of ppl say that it is best to keep your low end mono. But I see that you added a bit of filter delay and some reverb. Anything that we should keep in mind while doing so?
I would say keep the main musical focus of your low end central, and make sure it's still clear when you engage the mono switch on the master. If that's so then dont overthink it :)
