Make your own damn risers! 

Thank you so much for all the info you give us! :) I would absolutely love hearing your attempt on a track in "Blank Bodys" style Hes my absolute hero when it comes to unique electronic music. Anyways thanks again and much success, health and happiness in the future!

Hey Vita it' s great to see you rocking the Reason content eve if it is as VST in Live inspiring me to use other VST style lessons. Great content too! OK Damn I have enough work but I have to do this now! So Thanks! ;/

I am just about finished with your course online and it was worth every penny. You are a fantastic teacher. If i ever make hit song, i'm gonna mention you in the credits

Great stuff, thx!

Vital has nice feature that allows you easily creating shepard tones.

You can create a shepard tone effect by stacking three or more octaves of the pitch bend effect explained in this video and fading out the top octave(s) and fading in the lower octave(s) on a loop. It may be easier said than done but that's essentially what shephard tones are.

This. I’ve seen a tut or 2 on Shepard tones but they’re ALWAYS lacking some data necessary to make a SMOOTH infinite riser. They usually say something like “stack a few pitch bends as fade the ends” but that always ends up in a Shepard tone that’s clearly repeating and not at all smooth and infinite.

this fear you speak of I know this and dealt with it when I was first starting out. It would even keep me from freezing and flattening in ableton. Turns out it is just procrastination and laziness, well it was on my part at least. Try diving into things that make you have that feeling and you will learn so much more and progress so much faster. Leveling was a big thing that was holding me back during those days, and it was because I was to lazy to learn proper leveling practices. There was just so many things to learn and there still are but now I can kind of pick and choose what I need if I feel a track is lacking.

Takes one to know one!

Small amounts of reverb is your friend :-) also try to use and automate the rate of an auto pan :-)

automating release and cutoff on your synths is rly useful for building up tension too

filters, drum fills

Look at the spectrum as well. Increasing the power on the high freq side, filling the spectrum, results in a sense of tension. Specific chord progressions also built up tension

he'll tell you - sometime. See - instant tension for ya.

Right? Can't believe he didn't mention that.

Another question: how does ducking influence track building? Should we duck bass, kick drum, only?

what is a noise downer?

@@CM-xr9oq it’s a transition fx that is like a reverse swoosh or like a white noise build up but in reverse Google them for some examples :)

@@jn1346 you can literally reverse any riser you made

Bought it the day before recording this, been on a mad sweater hot streak for the past few videos :D

@@OscarUnderdog Your fashion is fire

Reason doesn't have a Freeze. Instead, use 'bounce in place'.

i like my both my uppers AND my downers 😎😎
