Diving deep into the stems of one of my favourite Noisia tracks to see what I could learn in Ableton Support the Channel (My Sample Packs, Preset Packs) ➡️ www.antidoteaudio.com/
Download this ableton project for the drops I created here (first 24hours only) www.dl.dropboxusercontent.com/s/fi/nb0qo0pg8d2aj2siepi3u/Antidote-Audio-Noisia-Drop-Ideas-Project.zip?rlkey=dg2lf7hpov90v59bintgypfgn&dl=0
The notch is there to make more room for your kick and when the “mud” comes back in after the filter goes away it hits harder. Super useful technique, you can use it on high mids as well to make room for snare slap on a new 8 bar.
Glad you've emphasized the point of putting a notch in the low mids. I tell my producer friends this and some of them still sleep on that point. Doing that just makes the bass so much harder, "driven", but clean at the same time. It also helps with giving your mix headroom if you need it
May I point out that when pitching the snares they actually only pitched the ring of the snare The fundamental low frequency spike is the same pitch in both. This makes the snare pitch change way more subtle and glued together. Because there’s no obvious pitch up but the snares sound different to each other So I assume they synthesised a thump and played that the same each time and then the high miss - high end of the snare is what they pitched up and down
Interesting! That makes so much more sense than pitching the whole drum sample up, I’m pretty sure they use a lot of “superior drummer” so perhaps they pitched the tail up using that vst?
side satisfaction is also a big Noisia thing i’ve found. Also just a bell can cut the mids in a nice way without fucking up the phase as badly as a notch 😅
Great video bro! I studied music production at university and I always thought there wasn't enough emphasis on listening. I've learnt so much just by listening closely to tracks by my favourite artists. With the stems it's even better.
Amazing analysis man. Noisia might be one of my biggest inspirations in sound design. I would love to see how you made your neurobass on Operator, i know it's just sinewaves, noise and distortion most of the time but i'd like a closeup on your process :-)
Cheers! It’s a pretty basic operator patches but the audio effect racks makes them shine! I think I’ve done a video on Reese basses and audio effect racks before. But I’ve also got a video where I have 10 bass audio effect racks up for free
randomly pitching drum sounds subtly around predates Noisia by like... decades. It's a staple of old hardware samplers, where storage for roundrobins was non-existant. In fact, you can find this trick applied on stock Ableton Live drum rack presets, like the snare in the 808 Core kit, it's got 0.5% random pitch mod on it. It's so good.
yeah Noisia's official patreon (vision recordings), on thier producer tier they sometimes post stems to their originals or stems to others remixes of their tracks :)
@@AntidoteAudio I just tried leaving a message about sending you some stems and sent a link to some tunes but I think the comment got removed? Whats your email so I can privately send them to you bro?
Search up “vision recordings” on patreon and that’s where I got the stems from 😁 not too sure if they’re still up there as I downloaded them a while ago…
