In this video we explore the lessons learned from recreating Tale of Us - Heart of Darkness in Ableton Live. This is a classic minimalist deep house style track with 4 signature synthesizer approaches that we can analyse and learn from.

High quality content as always Underdog, many thanks, and please keep it up. I have a request for a future video. Could you try to break down what's going on in this remix by one of my favourite producers AU5 ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mwjY1ybayZ8.html In particular, I'm thinking about after the build-up, it seems all tracks except the beats are over-compressed, or? It would be interesting to hear your "analysis" of it. Thanks in advance.

This man has singlehandedly reignited my flame for producing music and has leveled up my game like never before. If this is the quality of stuff that he posts for free on RU-vid I cannot begin to imagine how much more he gives to his students. Hopefully some day soon I'll be able to sign up for his stuff because it's going to be 100% worth it. Thank you Oscar.

@AUTOSAD777 2 года назад

Yay! Thanks for this! You already know that the GTA soundtrack was how I discovered Tale of Us. I used to abandon missions so I could keep driving and listening to the music, and then I'd pause the game to see who's making these banging tunes. And I saw it was always Tale of Us. I even thought at the time that it was a fake in-game artist for the soundtrack. But then I looked them up and saw they're a huge deal. Stupid me. 🙄

Hey Oscar, now that I have seen a couple of your videos, I have to admit, that you do a really really awesome work here for the people with valuable suggestions. In my case you are the perfect fit for my inspiration. Furthermore you are not blaming companies or people, which is a huge plus! Keep that philosophy, it will bring you further. Thank you so much and best greetz over here from Berlin!

@recursr1892 2 года назад

Fantastique tutorial again,thank you so much, 🙏! Focus here was clearly composition, not sound design (and extremely well done), but some explanation on the distortion of the synth would still be beneficial-it‘s so characteristic here and contributes so much to the sound design, furthermore its used on at least 2 of the synth, but they don‘t swamp the frequency range- masterly! If you could add a video on this, would be great too-I find it really difficult to not have too much „salt in the soup“ and keep the balance between amount of instruments and distortion of the single element- Thanks again for this great tutorial 👍 //ah! I see you point to it as „glassy shimmers“,-okay cool, that will complete it! 😁

@dorintube 2 года назад

mate I really like your videos (I think I watched them all by now). one suggestion, if I may, without sounding too out of place here: get rid of that "thunder-ish" drum when something gets written on the screen. I don't think it makes your videos any better. The magic is in the way you explain everything. kudos for that!

Thoughts on doing a track analysis of Peter Van Hoesen "Trim the Facts", I know he uses a lot of modular gear for his sound design but I'm curious what you thing about this track and it's components.

Why did you use a frequency shifter on the snare rather than just transpose it in the sampler?

@OscarUnderdog 2 года назад

Hey Josh! I can't totally remember in this case, but it depends on your goal: I wanted the snare to sound darker & a bit degraded, not necessarily pitched down. But pitching down would have been a good thing to try as well!
