Why all the hatred on here? You have an icon of Drum n Bass who with his team completely changed the genre and all people care about is his language barrier. Petty
Hyosua Colleter The plus side of Serum is you can load your own wavetables and the fancy live modulation showing you whats going on other than that Massive does what its name says.
"the thing is, before the camera was rolling, i had some really cool sounds. But now-" *stares at the camera with a sad look on his face* "-its not so cool."
~80% of modular videos are "new" sounds (noise/experimental stuff). Not a lot of pop synth sounds with modular btw... musical sounding modular sounds are pretty "rare" and it never sounds like pop synth sounds! I would like to see where you heard that... any link ? :)
Rhapsody in noise What I meant were the people who just use oscillators, sequencers, envelope generators, and filters to make relatively simple sounds. A lot of videos don't contain complex patches that stray from simple melodies.
Music Guy maybe there are lots of ambient melodic style vids with excellent video quality but most of us get lost in a patch and get nothing accomplished. What he said “always press record”.. that’s not a joke. A sound is of that moment ONLY. There is no getting it back even if u leave the pots set as they are and turn the synth on and off. It’s the most addicting and wonderful thing that will stop you from getting tracks finished. Thank god he has the other two or his rack would grow in reverse proportion to the number of completed tracks
hah, watched all 3 parts, Nik, Thijs, Martijn... and this one really sums up and reminds me of the cover from dead limit ep.. Thijs really is the silent genius firin' up the rockets somehow
remember it's a passion, explaining what you do is a different story but at the end the combination of their skills is what them make as they are today
@@edrevvvv what did he say that indicates he doesn't know what he is talking about? Notwithstanding that he intentionally as he states is giving up some control in order to allow sounds to present themselves. He has a pretty good modular fm going on with some audio rate modulation and about 10000 different little things randomly coming up which I think is what he is trying to illustrate. All three of them are real solid at synthesis. Idk... Maybe I'm just missing where he seems to not be able to articulate the fact that he didn't set this up on accident. I for one think his English is quite good. Noisia is and has been for many moons consummate pros at the neurofunk genre. Peace
@@rogeredwards4802 Well, remember that talkedabout this video, Not about their whole life. Not gonna discuss who they are as a group/producers as they are and have been : world top 10 contemporary producers for sure But remember this video is a lil bit old, and thats when thijs started to mess with modular racks and was starting his project as a solo artist, and all that orchestral projects. I think he was on that stage where u just mess with all that big piece of synth u have in front of u and explore new techniques, nothing bad in that. But maybe not good material for a tutorial. Just that, in fact my only point was that nik explains better what he wants to do and how he does it. Their skills are indisputable obviously xD
Meanwhile artists like Martin Garrix make songs using a few samples and presets without knowing shit about mixing, mastering and sound design and make 100x as much money as Noisia... The world is not fair.
its not about the money for these guys. Look at how into it they are. As long as theyre making enough to live theyll keep making the music. They love doing this kind of shit.
Some good points have been raised here. Honestly though, the conclusion to this problem about society, that will go on until the end of eternity, is simply that; people’s lives will reflect their personality. The life of being rich, yet being a complete novice at music V.S. Being less rich, and knowing a lot about mixing - that’s just a reflection of their lifestyles. Unfortunately if Martin Garrix does care more about the attention and the money, more than the knowledge behind making music, then that just shows what he cares about more.
You go a little bit nuts after hours of tweaking and tweaking those knobs, listening to blip blop sounds. When you go to take a piss and the flushing sounds a LFO it's time to go to bed.
Oooooh oops... I just discovered who the guys from Hustle Athletics are 🤐 man why am I learning all this stuff about NOISIA, they are no more 😢 but I feel a reunion coming one day!!! I just feel it!!!
I agree, compared to everyone else in the group, he definitely seems like the Carnage in the group that doesn't know what this knob does but it sound like very very way more cooler. I very well may be wrong but it just seems like he's the little brother their mom forced into the band but he thinks they're nerds and reaps their benefits Tiesto style.
This guy is doing the same thing as the earliest electronic music producers. I mean how do you think that electronic music was created in the first place?
Gaita Ponto I've said this before, music is an art form that started from someone banging rocks together, and it progressed to the wonderment we have today. What he's doing in this video is very impressive, but people are too naive to juxtapose how far/absolutely amazingly things have progressed.
yeah, he knows how to use his sounds...but by god does he suck at describing what it is or what it does. he just basically did 7 mins of "i stick this here, i twist this here, i thingamajig the thingies and then this awesome thing happens..which i freak out into something cool and awesome....cuz im a genius and i innately know how to make music....see? nothing to it, its easy" *big smile in his face* im just sitting here like "what the hell, bruh?"*huge quizzical look*
urban finesse i refuse to believe that there isnt pattern to the madness other than just one big guess work. Some folks know what these things are doing and not just patching and twisting to patch and twist.
modular is mainly twisting and patching, even though he may know what each knob does, just like most sound design its mostly twisting those knobs until something cool happens
Well how can you explain it? It's modular system... also it's Thijs on creating modular randomness not EXPLAINING it. He is just commenting what he does. You really thought he could explain you the whole process in 6 min? The only way to understand an analog is to touch everything.. just test it.
I think you're missing the point here. The idea is to record lots of randomness, until you get something usable that you can actually control and manipulate as a recorded audio waveform. About every artist with groundbreaking, experimental sound design uses this approach one way or another. 99,9% of the recorded material will sound like crap, but the remaining 0,1% (what he refers to as the 'sweet spot') will make it worthwhile if you have the required patience, accompanied by a knack for discovering the sounds that can be useful down the line. Everybody who dig the sonic wizardry of Noisia, such as myself (and probably yourself, as you've watched this very video) should be grateful that they're willing to put in the massive amount of time and effort needed to transform uncontrollable randomness into precise awesomeness for us to enjoy. ❤️
Take notes folks, or just understand this genius' mind that is clearly a sniper for amazing sound and clarity.. Complex efficiency, wish I could sit in studio with these guys..
I haven't seen a lot of people do it but besides using Reaktor to create virtual modular systems alone it really useful to use it along with hardware modules to make up for a particular module that one may be missing.
I like how he also has no fucking idea what he's talking about. And another thing - Noisia does not actually incorporate any of the analog modular stuff into their tracks because Thijs is the only one doing it and like I said earlier, he has no idea what the fuck he is doing. They just are better with digital VST's and that is absolutely fine. Analog synths are fantastic for playing around with and get the creative juices flowing.
yeah i was severely disappointed watching this vid. this is below beginners level modular synthesis i'd expect the guys from Noisia could something that didn't sound like a dude twiddling on a fuckin 30 dollar monotribe
