@@Alice-Efe Hey Alice, I bought Atlas and the sound quality is absolutely stunning! Next time I'd be willing to pay a lot more money if you do something like this but with presets for Pigments, Serum or whatever synth is used by many of us because for me the main challenge is to understand how you build those layers. Love your work :)

@Alice-Efe 18 дней назад

@@Redemption808 Thank you! I will probably do something like that in the close future. Main problem with this one was I used a lot of external gear (not that it matter so much but I was thinking it could be nice for the people qho bought it). So it wasnt possible to include project files. But next time, I will probably just use pigments to make them all with Ableton FX so you have also project files.

@ViktorNova Месяц назад

For anyone trying to do this in Vital, it's a little different - you have to leave phase randomization at zero and assign the RAND key modulator to the phase of both OSCs, at 100%. (not Rand1 or Rand2, it's the RAND in the lower right corner). Everything else is the same, except there's no shortcut to remove the fundamental so you have to do it by hand (2nd partial from the far left on the top row of the wavetable editor, drag it to zero) Apparently Vital doesn't synchronize phase randomization between OSCs like Serum does, so you get inconsistent phase coherence on each note (aka phasey/weak/inconsistent bass) unless you do it this way - but this method produces the exact same results. This video was a total game changer for me, thank you so much Alice!🤩

@EPHEM11 Месяц назад

hi thanks so much for this, i don't have serum. just to confirm, do you set phase to 0 and then assign phase of both oscillators to RAND at 100% modulation? or do you leave it at 180 phase and then make the modulation bipolar? or does it not matter... my guess is it doesn't matter, as the reason you're doing this is just to make sure both oscillators are at the same phase at all times so we don't get phase cancellation whilst maintaining the panned bass? thank you:))

@Rzn8958 Месяц назад

So to remove the fundamental you're removing the tallest column in the wavetable editor and just leaving the harmonics?

@ViktorNova 26 дней назад

@@EPHEM11To get this effect, just leave one oscillator's phase at 0 and then tweak the other oscillator's phase until you find a sweet spot where the 2 oscillators sum together in a way you are happy with for the song. As long as RAND is modulating the phase of both oscillators by the same amount, the phase coherency will stay the same from note to note and you'll get a consistent sound. If you leave them both at zero, they will always be the same and won't make a stereo sound, so it's necessary to change the phase of one of the oscillators

@ViktorNova 26 дней назад

@@Rzn8958 The fundamental isn't necessarily always going to be the tallest column in the wavetable editor, but it will always be the 2nd column from the far-left, in the upper harmonic editor (the column on the far left is volume - I'm not sure why they designed it this way) - just remove that/turn it down to zero and you'll be left with all the harmonics but no fundamental. Personally I like to use a 2nd instance of Vital to have a sine wave sub on a dedicated track

@@Alice-Efeplease don't stop. I just discovered your channel and was very impressed with this video. You packed a huge amount of very useful information into a short space of time, and I'm looking forward to learning lots more stuff from you. I have been somewhat stuck in a rock format for many years, but I'm finally allowing myself to go back to using electronic sounds as I did in the 1990s. I have a lot to catch up on, so if the rest of your videos are of this calibre I'm going to be looking at them for some time to come. One thing that confused me with this one, though, was the rolling bassline in the first example. The MIDI data showed alternating eighth-note octaves, but the rhythm of the sound didn't seem to match that. Was that the result of a dotted delay or something along those lines?

@AlexWBKK Месяц назад

Really cool, learned a lot. ^^ Thank you. There are a few songs, that i also find really interesting in how they got produced. Its beyond other sounds and it really makes we wonder how they could achieve that. One is Aurora (DJ IBON Remix) and the other is Mikkel Rev - Amneo. The second one is actually more interesting, because basically all of the instruments are so subtle but still give out everything that is required to make it a "sound" ^^. I find it unbelievable how everything adds up together. For me this is art. And the first one i find so interesting because it has crazy reverb effects. It sounds like there is an insane reverb over every single instrument, still the song never sounds too messy. And for whatever reason all those reverb effects dont come into each others way. Bass has reverb, kicks have reverb, hihats have reverb, BG noise has reverb. And everytime big amounts too. Its a mistery how those songs got produced. Maybe someone else picks up on my curiousity and talks about how those songs are made. Maybe just a few of the instruments. THat would be really cool ^^ PS: both songs shoud be listened to with headphones, theres an endless amount of subtle stuff in.

Great tips... but just some advice, refrain from saying things like "i'm the first" to do something in the future. 😅 I've watched a LOT of masterclasses and tutorials over the years by those pros themselves, and none of them create bass lines like this (that I've seen) They're all very simple, but just very well executed. Generally if it's overly complicated, it's probably not the way to do it. But there's always room for new ways! And will be trying some of these methods out for sure!

@heartofawesomeness7087 20 дней назад

not a mastering engineer and prolly not qualified to explain this to ppl, but I thought I'd try and clarify. The difference between the unison and panning trick mostly boils down to the unison using different pitches on the left and right to crate wideness, and the pan trick using different phase. The unison also has more movement, but that's the gist of it. That still means that there's going to be phasing with the pan trick when it's in mono though (which there will be in any type of wideness ever, because that's literally what makes it wide) and it's still dangerous to use too much if you want it to be djable. The reason that you might want to use this trick instead of unison is that it's much less chaotic because there's no any movement or detune. Anyway, great video, Alice! You've helped me learn so much music stuff, and know that your videos are amazing resources for aspiring producers!!!!

I don't know how to apply this with Pigments or my Prophet Rev2. Do they all support those functions with phase adaption and removing the fundamental? Can someone please explain for one of those two synths? Would be much appreciated :)

@EntropyExhaustion Месяц назад

Awesome as all your content. But I have seen the remove fundamental tipp elsewhere. It can be used to keep focus on heavy unisono patches ... interestingly enough even Surge XT (free synth) has a WT of a saw with removed fundamental on board ... anyway, I enjoy your content. Sometimes these advertisement phrases "secret pro tipp" or "only here" that are used all over the internet make me go mehhh. Btw: I started to use the combo of ISOL8 (five band splitter) and PsyScope (free, beat synced oscilloscope), which I plug in to the bass band of ISOL8 to visually control kick and subbass level... it's free an thus can replace SubNinja...

@Alice-Efe Месяц назад

Can it be this one: studio.ru-vid.comXsMn5Jo0wJY 😊 The unique thing in the video was not about removing fundementals but manual phase shifting 2 oscillators and panning them again manually and not using unison. I think that didnt come through well in the video, I should probably have made it more clear.

@EntropyExhaustion Месяц назад

@@Alice-Efeprobably you're right. If it's for the phase shift then I might have missed the warning that you might end up canceling out when monoing if the delta is 180 degree in total. Anyways - I'm just adding "random" things that come to my mind ... your content is great!

@sulimanhassan9556 Месяц назад

since you remove the fundamental from the wavetable, why not adding more unison voices into a one OSC with constant phase closed Randomization. and that would do super great. specially if you add some hyper and some multiband compressor from the Serum FX. but I get the Idea of showing off here on RU-vid, everyone keeps saying magic and super-secret tricks. while actually there's no such thing

@howardhutchinson1631 Месяц назад

Nice vid! For sure, being "old school", i don't care refining at this level, since i get the right vibe of a track. I'm reading tips for Bass & Drums for 30 years or so, but most impressing was a guy who only pushed mono tracks on a 16 channel Mackie and some cheap FX. He just added room on a Microverb, did a "chorus" by copying samples in a Ensoniq sampler and distorted by simply pushing the gains. At the end he had all the controls at his fingertips and rocked the store so badly, i changed my style forever. I was 21 back then, now i'm 52. So, what's up RU-vid?😎

@Alice-Efe Месяц назад

Random makes the sound more dynamic. Given that we want the "top" layer to be autentic and stereo. As we removed the fundemental from top layer and sub is already mono, there is really no need to make the top layer more static and robotic by taking away random.
