I'm loving this series so far! You're very good at explaining as you go along, and at showing how the sound changes when you add effects, etc, which makes your videos both useful and inspiring. Thanks a lot, and keep 'em coming!
sometimes you have to adjust the input gain with a utility or saturator, before you feed a signal into the tube distortion. I think it only starts to distort the right way when the signal is around 0 dB.
AMD Phenom II x6 1090t, 6GB RAM, Focusrite Scarlett 2i4 audio interface, Sapphire HD 7950 3GB video card. This thing is pretty old except the audio and video card...
It's for connecting the speakers, MIDI keyboard,studio microphone and for amplifying the headphone signal. Next to that the audio interface will help to get low latency when working in a DAW.
When I work with music I never just use the native Ableton effects, it's always a combination of native and third party effects because not everything I need comes with Live. Also some third party plugins just sound better in my opinion, which is why I would grab those instead. Then again, mixing synths is nothing more than EQ, compression and maybe reverb, so since those come with Live I think there should be no issue mixing synths with the native effects as long as you understand how they work.
Art fx please give me some wisdom man I've been so stuck for making anything half decent the past few weeks and it's really getting to me! Like I just keep trying to make cool drum grooves and get a cool bass in from blue 2 or hive but nothing comes of it:(
Hard to say, could be anything from writersblock to a lack in skill at arranging and possibly more... What is most important is to not rush it, plus don't get too fed up with not being able to write a full tune. Sometimes it's more important to spend time perfecting your techniques, so do some sound design or maybe work on arranging basslines for a few weeks. Whatever you do, never forget that as long as you write something every day, even though it may not sound good, you are still improving and practicing your skill. When you go to the gym for the first time, you also don't expect yourself to be able to lift the heaviest weights right? You start small and work your way up slowly. The same applies to anything you want to learn/be good at.
ARTFX STUDIOS also good point made and if I'm being truthfully honest with myself I watch too many tutorial also without practicing what's being taught and have too many plugins samples and get boggged down with all that stuff rather than focusing on the music first and foremost any more pointers I know I should thin my collection and focus on one maybe two synths but find it hard to choose between serum / massive / omni / Zehra / diva / hive the list goes on also I want to produce liquid and neuro DnB mainly nothing else for the foreseeable future any more guidance to give me! One love man:) thanks for all the help so far massively appreciated
Stefan Prammer do whatever you can to sort it out man you'll hate yourself for it in the end if you carry on chasing the rabbit hole of the perfect samples, synths and patches. I think it's all about having clear defined goals, limitations (only use x synth for this track or this week, try use your skills the best you can to compose and not too much of other people's work) and discipline enough to stick to a few projects and define a concept / idea / feeling / picture to relate to a track so there's more depth to it
Okay, cool now we have a cool reese but, thats not the movement i want... if you hear neurofunk there is so much movement in the basslines going on... how did they that? you know what i mean? This Reese sounds very static...
Because it's not done. What you have right now is the starting point to a good reese, from here you need to continue what we already did, add filters, compression, saturation and so on.
hi, you helped buying one headphones, but now i need to buy a new computer, my macbook pro motherboard stop working and now i want to buy a new computer, specially for music production. I want to work with heavy projects and dont freeze mi computer.

Hey Mate ! Really helpful tuto for me. Really helped for the resampling techniques, and especially, the parrallel processing.
Thanks a lot :)
Another really informative video! please keep them coming - Will support the channel and buy your sample pack
Sounds sick man!

Yeah the Dynamic Tube is a pretty subtle one, thanks for the tip!
Super helpful video! I'm so grateful that you started these series. Can I ask you what your pc specs are btw?

Hey artfx, how do you go about layering synths and mixing them with only abletons built in plugins, do you have in tutorials that can help?
When I work with music I never just use the native Ableton effects, it's always a combination of native and third party effects because not everything I need comes with Live.
Also some third party plugins just sound better in my opinion, which is why I would grab those instead.
Then again, mixing synths is nothing more than EQ, compression and maybe reverb, so since those come with Live I think there should be no issue mixing synths with the native effects as long as you understand how they work.
you can show us how make lead sound like NWYR the trance alias of W&W. Cheers from colombia. :)

ARTFX STUDIOS cool, i guess you will do Tutorials about that ;)
Heli coming for the fumes
Haha yeah lol :D
if you use discord.me, you can get a custom link for your discord

I would like you to help me 🙂
Just pick a budget and search gaming "pc build (budget)"
Hi ArtFX, do you get paid when I download single samples from your Black-Octopus Neurofunk Drums via Splice? Just wondering :)
Yes, of course :)
Cool, some processor and RAM money coming your way. Cheers!
Oh man thanks a bunch, I need that right now!
That’s not a reese bass but I see what your showing here. That phase in the sample is horrible
