2:50 damn, valve really thought of everything, i had that as my headcanon because it was funny to imagine the aperture facility was procedurally generating music.
The final song doesn't entirely give the feel of portal 2 soundtrack, yet it has it's vibe. It sounds like something that could be used in portal 3/portal 2 remake (something like black mesa)
Well edited video with too few views… I also really like the portal 2 OST, and have failed to really find anything like it. Then again, i dont really know as much about modern music, so a decent amount of my more modern music come from OSTs. They make for a good listen when I’m doing something else, as longer and more complex music like a fugue would usually be too distracting for me with all those voices.
Thanks! some of the similar suggestions I've heard are artists like Aphex Twin, BT and Authechre, but they really don't come all that close, Portal 2 does have a strong IDM influence, but that's not all it is. The Portal 2 soundtrack just has a unique sound of it's own.
Worth noting that the electronic synth primarily used in P2 tracks is the Super Sync Lead preset from Native Instruments Pro 53, as revealed by Morasky in a Plogue interview.
that's a pretty good insight and deconstruction of the portal 2 OST style. always loved the vibe and really wanted to try to take some stuff from that to my music. have a good one
I think that the final song fits more as a credit music as it is more melodic than the randomness of most of the portal 2 music, still very cool though
Yoo, I really love the portal 2 soundtrack too and I'm constantly surprised how unique it sounds whenever I listen back through the soundtrack. It really sounds like its own genre. Thanks for the analysis, the ideas you presented give a good starting point for experimenting with stuff that sounds similar. Great video :)
YT recommended this late to me but at a perfect time. I do tribute songs for the games i love, usually right after finishing them so i can get the feeling right. I finished portal 2 about a year and a half ago and had a project for it waiting to be finished, this video is really helpful and motivates me to finallt finish it. I really didn't know how to catch the same vibe portal 2 has but i'll try by using this vid as a guide. Thanks for reminding us what a beautiful OST this is, subbed!
I know it's not what you were going for, but your final product sounds like it was taken right out of the game Heat Signature (which also has a banger OST)
I really enjoyed this video. The editing is fantastic the text too but please buy a mic for 30 dollars it would improve it much because u have the potential of being big. Keep on with these videos tho ❤
Well, chiptune sounds are supposed to be very simple, the easiest circuits to make. That's what the hardware is trying to make so taking samples might just make it less useful.
Where can I find that interview with the composer? Edit: Found it I think, a link in the description might be nice though m.ua-cam.com/video/z37kBD0DYqg/v-deo.html
Great video! Just one question; is the percussion in songs like ‘The Reunion’ also made with the strategies you mentioned in the video, the chopping it up? I really love the sound and it akways sounds very similar in all songs that use it. Another example of that percussion being used is the song ‘Woke up this morning’ by Alabama 3, the remix though. Thanks in advance.
i remember going through every single instrument in garageband to find something similar to portal 2 ost 💀
Honestly same though lol
SAME
Lots of them sound similar using a very low octave on my midi keyboard in GarageBand (use synth leads)
Tried to make a portal 2 fanmade song on soundtrap. Came out.. decent
I’ve literally done the same exact thing! Still searching (:
As someone who is composing for three Portal 2 mods at the moment, this was incredibly useful. Thanks for making this video.
Glad to hear it! best of luck on the soundtracks, I'd love to hear them when they're finished
Which ones, I will check them out

Can someone tell me where I can find the full Interview of him? 😅
Sounds very interesting! :D

Yes Calamity. That's how it feels.
awesome, the mood of the final song feels as if Kelly Bailey had written portal 2 soundtrack, and I like it even more
If I ever make my own game, I really want the music to be like portal 2's.
love this.Mike Moresby is a genius
Well edited video with too few views…

The only one's I've found came from people basically making Portal mods, like Harry101uk. Like the soundtracks for Mel, Tag, Tier 3, etc

How will I remake that preset into my synth so I cannot purchase the synth that it has?
@@l.c.habibi2339 You can find the Pro-53 plugin online for free if you know where to look
BRO you are so underrated, this is top tier editing and explanation i couldnt find anywhere
that's a pretty good insight and deconstruction of the portal 2 OST style.

have a good one

I Loved the Editing and your way of explaining stuff, keep up the good work!
This video is awesome and more people need to see this.
the soundtrack to two is incredible and better than the first
I think for your final song, the lead synth absolutely pulled it all together. It very perfectly encapsulated what is so great about the P2 soundtrack
IVEB EEN LOOKING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THJIS FOR WEEKS THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS

this video is incredible! loved the humor intertwined with the education! you’ve got a bright future!
I understand more about sound design. I think that was the goal. Well done.
Deserves way more attention, this video was awesome!
Amazing work right there, in editing, explanation, demostration and of course the piece at the end!
I’ve sampled it a lot in my music
Nice explanation
Everything is in place, really
thanks a lot for making a video about the portal ost! it was a really nice watch.
I love portal 2's songs, great video!!

1:48 im so used to this song i thought it was BGM lol
i expected a few mentions of NI Massive and FM8 presets used in the soundtrack
nice vid
4:10 lmao
Good work ! You should do a video like this but for Half Life.
I can assure you this music is what it feels to be high (joke)
My favorite portal 2 song is frankenturrets
