[Tutorial] Neurohop-style basslines with phase syncing
Вставка
- Опубліковано 31 гру 2013
- I've been planning on doing sound design and production tutorials for a while. Here's the first one. It's a bit weird being a content creator. I hear UA-cam hates those. We'll see how long this lasts.
I briefly talk about phase and how it relates to synthesis. If you want to know a bit more, you should read all of Chapter 3 (every chapter really! It's short)
¤ music.columbia.edu/cmc/MusicAn...
Some additional points I don't make (but should've) in the video:
¤ To set this rack up with any other synth, it needs to have two properties. First, you need to have a predictible starting point for phase. ie. it lets you either phase sync or set the phase somewhere. Razor has a "random phase" knob that by default is turned down. Secondly, you can't use any kind of randomization modules. This defeats the purpose of stacking identical waveforms. In Razor, the two noise oscs, the noise filter, and stereo mode are randomly generated. Do not use.
¤ The part about "curvy waveforms are bad" and "straight waveforms are good" is a very loose guideline for the exact patch I made. That wasn't meant to be a rule you need to follow, it's meant to show you that you should play with your patch and set a few rules about what you decide sounds good. This well help some of that "I made a cool patch, but I don't know what to do with it."
¤ I was going to talk about oscillator syncing as well, but the video would have been too long. Phase syncing has a very characteristic effect, but osc sync does too. It's useful for making those "ripping" or "tearing" kinds of sounds that Feed Me or Kill the Noise uses. Try matching the automation of an osc sync knob with a formant. In most cases, I would turn phase sync off for that.
¤ I wrote up some other notes for nerds here: tmblr.co/ZuNVmw136V5Jf
I'm not a neurohop producer, but I've done some tracks in the past that use these kinds of sounds

i have been looking EVERYWHERE for a tutorial like this for fucking YEARS! every other tutorial is either too "crunchy" or just a glorified reesee bass. this is exactly the sound i wanna recreate!
I'm in no way qualified to be watching this, but hearing Your real voice was very cool.
Man, i just want to say that your videos are literally a god-send for me. Keep up the good work =).
Fantastic! Exactly the right level of technobabble - I could follow along fine and learn things, despite not knowing a whole bunch of specifics. Time for me to go read up on comb filters and/or travel halfway across the world to find you and pledge myself to you as your apprentice
I always wondered how KOAN Sound made their synths. This is really awesome.
Great tut dude. I like the icons you bring in at around 8 minutes too. good sounds too man!
Oh wow I've been waiting so long for this, thank you so much!! I'm gonna go melt my brain implementing this
How could I not thumb this up. You do a great job skirting the line between demonstrating your understanding and translating that into useable form. I commend you for being so to-the-point about everything; it makes the whole tutorial feel a lot more like something that's been produced with quality as opposed to the taboo "guy on his laptop showing you a thing in Ableton."
I listen your real voice!This is awesome!!!
I've no experience with any sort of music-making software, but this was still fun to watch.
definitely one of the most informative and useful neurobass tutorials I've seen to date, great work and thanks a ton man
That was actually really fascinating dang, so glad you made it public again.
This was really excellent. Neurofunk isn't a genre I make, but this could easily be applied in other genres. I loved the structure of the video, and really feel like a learnt something which doesn't happen with too many tutorials.
Wow my head just exploded! Great tutorial my friend :)
Sweet, this isn't unlisted anymore.
I work in FL. I recently got into music production and although I wouldn't call myself a producer by any means of the word I am aspiring to be one. This is very informative and I appreciate the work you put into it. It should help me in the near future. Although a lot of the terms were way over my head I have been messing around in massive to some extent so the bits and pieces with that and Zebra were right at my level. I didn't know of Razor or FM8 so I think I will check those to out. Other than that, thanks again and I look forward to your next track.
Wow! This is really really useful
Mega awesome! :D
Wow! You have awesome voice!
yea,I agree with you..
He is awesome.
Excellent help thanks :)
uh, glad had this saved on my desktop so I could rewatch it. Why did you make the video unlisted?
Huh, so that's what your voice sounds like when you're not singing!
5:55 can't you achieve the same effect you get from fine tuning multiple synths by just adding a chorus to the base wave?
>comment about your speech
I literally know nothing at all about this. What programs do you actually use?
Ableton and Reason!
Is there anything like ableton, but easy, and free (aka for plebs)
Sure! But the plugins and other gear are gonna cost you much more than just the DAW. If you're looking for free workstations, you can check out openMPT (a tracker) or Reaper (arranger/sequencer).
:D yay
