Hi, Nik from Noisia!

Hello person

thanks man, so many tutorials on sounds , not so much on making them sit. happy there is one more now! :)

cheers Nik

Welcome to this place, Nik!

and that is for sure :D

yep

Id pay good money

MAKE IT HAPPEN!!

to much secrets

just imagine if you could sniff it...

lololol

Hazelcut *counts number of arms they have together in my head*

😅😅LOL.... u joker!!

They can produce this way better with 4 hands and the rest 2 hands can be used for... "other" purposes

Or with tentacles

Misha Mansoor took me reading this comment to realize that haha

I really hope 343 lets you do music for Halo again. You killed it with breaking the covenant.

Periphery Noisia collab... we need it.

noticed it when he said "hi" at the start

usually you right, but the world has so much shit that we must hear and see and because that i think we deserve it :)

Comedown Vibes *eq

Beat is fat af

Another one is good too.

I would also like to know, I’ve never seen someone do that before

Not sure, but you can achieve the same thing in Pro-Q in Mid/Side Mode with the pan knob. Not as nice as toggling it with the press of a button though...

I forgot to reply here, but at 0:15 you can see D&B Jesus using a Crane Song Avocet, which offers mono toggling and mid/side soloing among other things

Very late reply but you can do that if you enable control room in cubase, which is actually super helpful when mixing

i think he means the bass parts of the drums, as well as the transients of the drums in mono. so the tail will be fed to stero space.

oui ces ce qu'il explique

Let me know if you find out! I was wondering the same

Use a Mid Side eq to keep the fundamentalsof the drums in mono. Or Izotope stereo imager to keep sepecific freq bands in mono.

Duplicate your hit/sample, mix one of them and keep it mono, use a haas effect or any sort of creative mixing to widen the second hit so it occupies stereo. Then go thru and EQ each sample so that you're isolating the parts you want in mono and the part you want in stereo. You might keep the majority of the mono hit intact, and then eq out some top end on the stereo one. Do this in context of the rest of the song so you find where they sit best, not where they sounds good solo'd. Balance the levels of the mono/stereo hits to your liking (again, in context of the song), throw some saturation and glue compression on it.

Here 7:50 /watch?v=ezh2BM2dh5s Nick explains how he usually approach drums transients and stuff

Izotope stereo image multiband mode, multiband 1 dead mono up too 100hz rest set as stereo

He could do it blind, underwater and without using his hands

That’s why you need a mix that collapses to mono, but has an interesting stereo field for listening literally everywhere else.

I guess that breaks down roughly to making your sounds in mono (or very mono compatible) and then using a stereo send channel with a stereo fx chain?

There are plenty of ways to do it, but you're on the right path of making your sounds mono compatible. You don't need to start in mono necessarily, as long as when you shift to mono, it's still intelligible and not phasing like crazy. Sometimes it sounds better (and is easier lol) to have a straight stereo processing chain on certain elements (like pads, fx, leads, etc), but keeping the main elements (or even just the transients like Nik was saying) mono so it translates better on systems. The stereo information isn't lost, it's just collapsed to mono. There are plenty of plugins that allow you switch a stereo signal to mono for testing also. Even laptop speakers and phones are going stereo now, so it's really only in certain situations where a mono mix will be used. If haven't seen it yet, you should check out Pensado's Place on youtube and his in the lair series. He demonstrates a shit ton of these techniques and others.

Noisia generally layer drums. For example they have a snare transient. (just the attack) then layer it with a tail of a snare... Hope this helps.. note: Make sure when layering samples that they are the same pitch! You are welcome

you can then make your transient sample mono in your DAW or by using a third party plugin

Closest I've gotten is to use LFOtool (plugin) which is basically a volume envelope that can be triggered by a midi signal.

you can use it to trigger the sidechain, but have the output routed to no bus. simple way would be just duplicate your kick track, and remove all output routing. very handy way to have more control over your sidechaining

I also would like to know.

Whoa thanks ! I should’ve recognized the original drums from Surfaceless

@@MaximeFrjq what's the name of the song?
