Dude. You're such a good teacher. Seriously, teaching is an art in and of itself and I feel like you're an absolute MASTER at it. It's amazing how you can deliver such succinct, well-informed, content in such a fun way. I'm floored.
Synth Layering ------ Round Tones Dull and Soft , good for foundation -Sawish for upfront layer. -Turn up octaves to help layers, turn up the sync or proccess a layer differently to make it stand out more -Cut extra frequencies not helping the layer. Kick Layering: -Again make each sound play a role.
can't believe you played a show with iglooghost (my fav producer) you are a legend. i still suck at mixing-- but you give me hope. now if only derek could get his shit together..
This is a very important lesson of sound design and to get distinct sounds. PD: I would love a show about anything by underbelly. Like cooking or something, just imagine it.
In your video, where you mixdown your individual tracks to audio, to start mixing a creatively finished song, you turn off the EQs and some other effects first and I get why, I think. In it you say, that if the respective effect is integral to the sound, you let it on for that process. So in this case for the EQ'd layers I recon you would not turn off the EQs on the layers, cause they are part of the sound of the instrument. Is that correct? Thanks, I love your content and the way you present it :-)
In video #1 before you bounced all the audio, you turned off all the EQing effects on all tracks. For layered tracks like these, would you still turn of the EQing before bouncing the audio?
Good stuff bro, on point subjects, well though, well explained and fun to watch. Would analog or semi-analog processing improve significantly the sound? Guear or not understanding the concept behind mixing is what must be learned so thanks.
A condescending arrogant misfit. Definitely my type of person! You really know your peppers NO. tomatoes NO.. ONIONS, that's it I meant onions!! Thanks for this set of videos. Thoroughly enjoyable and I learned something too!
Yeah. You're pretty much the only guy on UA-cam I depend on to explain this stuff properly. I mean, you know what's better than a 303 baseline? 3 X 303 bass lines. Now how the hell am I going to layer that? I'm just going to do it.
hey Underbelly, got a question...So when I exported the tracks for mixing, I turned off all the effects and automation applied to the tracks then I converted it. Loading back those track in the arrangement view for mixing, how do bring those effects and automation back or don't i need them back??????
this is kind of an old comment but to anyone wondering. maybe u do now but 3 years u didnt quite get it. There are two things, 1. sound design. 2. Mixing. So mixing is stuff like cutting some hertz in eq, stereo shaping, gain staging, sidechaining, gluing things together. With underbellys method, you dont do mixing while producing or doing sound design, dont do any automation when producing or any kind of reverb effects and such, thats mixing most of the time. Now, sound design on the other hand, DONT TURN OFF THOSE EFFECTS, if you put a phaser with distortion on a sound and it will make a unique sound, those effects are what makes the sound, or you have a bass synth loop and you automate the pitch envelope so it creates some kind of vowel, you dont turn that off during exporting!! because without those effects and automation, its not that sound anymore and when u export it turned off, u will basically be doing sound design in a mixing stage. Now underbellys guides are really nice, but there is nothing wrong not bouncing anything and just do mixing and stuff while producing, what underbelly said, its really good for begginers because they tend to lose focus on producing and end up mixing on a kick drum for hours and all the ideas will go away, so its advisable to quickly make an arrengement and then do mixing.
Hey Dude,this is so cool! Thank you for making this video man!🔥 Would you make some layering technique production in a style of radiohead especially on their synths,texture,ambience production?
I'm a bit confused. Episode 1 you mentioned to convert everything to audio files, but here it seems you're doing the mixing/ eq to midi files like the drum rack. Shall we be applying these eq elements before or after converting the track to individual audio tracks?
I was turned off by the sarcastic tone of these videos initially, even though I know it's semi-tongue in cheek. But anyway I've continued to watch 'em and I thought this one, in particular, was pretty helpful. Thank you.

And a comedian too! He’s an genius! Who can make something like music producing funny? Takes real humor lol!
I couldn't have said that better.
I feel like I'm a child when watching your video.
Best and quickest way to learn and understand lol
I feel like he's an idiot when I seen his intro.
Edit: but he has technique. He's a cool dude.
I did too until he yelled “whAT the FUCK!!”
thats good
"Onions have layers, but so do beats."
Someone give this man a cookie, because that's brilliant.
🍪
1:15 that's how I feel every time I'm mixing
uSe yOuR eArS
true! mixing is a fucking nightmare
In all seriousness, this channel inspires me to keep making music. Thanks, Underbelly.

The genuine smile after casually insulting us always gives me just enough inspiration to keep going
This actually really helps you understand mixing without the jargon. Thank you for the onion reference!!
a show with igloogost!?!? thats crazy.
Dude and shades, nutty lineup
"I'm gunna eat onions all day today and cry about it" 😂 😂 😂 😂✊✊🔥🔥🎤
I subscribed because you zoomed when using the EQ . That attention to detail was what i was looking for , Thank You!
You are so UNDERRATED.
Thanks for the FREE and HIGH QUALITY education.
Fabulous! "Onions have layers... But so do Beats!!" Had me dying. had to watch it over and over again
Oh wowsers
OK SO JACKET 🧥
Pet Rock CHECK IT man
Are you sure it’s not OK SEW JACKET 🧥 🤔
OK SO JACKET
Ok subjective
Dr LoHertz XDD
legit the best teacher - so glad i found this channel!
1:16 when she uses her teeth
Lil
just had to go for it didnt you
@@chriskoo4166 Same haha , thanks for making me laugh xD and very good video thanks too !
He sounded like Mr. Plinkett there lol
That was funny thnx bro
You should definitely finish cooking up a track from these onions.
can't believe you played a show with iglooghost (my fav producer) you are a legend. i still suck at mixing-- but you give me hope. now if only derek could get his shit together..
this is the most beautiful synth I've ever heard
SOPHIE coded
This is one of his best videos
This kind of humour is what I've been looking for oh my. Great info as well, thank you man this is amazing
Amazing demonstration and explanation of layering. Super concise and of course so bloody funny at the same time. Masterful!
The amOUNT of knowledge in this series is blowing my gosh dang mind.
1:30 this scene actually shocked me for me underestimating capabilities of layering, I put a shocking face for sure😂😂
You always teach me new things thank youuu Underbelly
"I'm gonna eat onions all day today, I'm going to cry about it"
Those onions were beautiful! It made me cry
Another dope vid, big ups on that gig..lineup looks dope and SHADES is wild
Great topic! Could you do one on how to utilize the other forms of eq in regards to layering? (Shelf, Bell, etc)
I just noticed that I didn't subscribe to this channel, so I didn't suck at producing. But now, I do.
Thanks for sharing. Great insight and distributed in such an easily digestible way!
*checks it*
this video is actually more about sound design than mixing down
Whenever he says "Ok, so check it," I always thing he's saying "Ok, suit jacket."
With captions on, he said,
"Onions have layers, so do beets."
Lol. I thought that was funny.
This is a very important lesson of sound design and to get distinct sounds.
PD: I would love a show about anything by underbelly. Like cooking or something, just imagine it.
1:17 i didn't expect him to cuss like that much hahahaha
Why have I just found your stuff it's so informative/fun to watch omg

great..learnt new stuff.m a sucker in layering instruments..but yo showd some good phylosopy right here..
thank you for all the nice tutorials bro!!
I didnt realize beets had layers. This my favorite cooking channel!
Super helpful. Thanks!
''oh wowzers'' fucking lol'ed fairly hard
stack those soundgoodizers bois
2:01 i didn't know sinks sounded that good
Very good tips! see you next time
You crack me up man. Great work! Have a wicked gig. Gotta get you to UK for a gig sometime!
That whistle at the very start nearly deaded me
So that's the reason why my beats make me cry
I learned everything I needed in the intro. Bye.
That hit me in the feels
that chord progession is so tasty, anyones know what chords are used?
anyone knows*
Bbmaj7 Dm9 | Fmaj9 Gm11 | Gm11 | Gm11 :|
The last bar only has 2 beats
In video #1 before you bounced all the audio, you turned off all the EQing effects on all tracks. For layered tracks like these, would you still turn of the EQing before bouncing the audio?
Do a video on serum?
omg dude do you have a full version of this song somewhere??? sounds sooo dope
I really appreciate this tutorial man!
dude you gotta drop this song its fire
These videos are a really great way of teaching ableton thanks :)
“Onions have layers but so do beats...” wise words 🧐 🤔
Superb!!!
Wowzers. Even I start to make sense of this.
2:13 - 2:19
I would’ve paid you to say “it’s really fucking with my stease”
Thanks for the tips gonna add this to my repertoire.
Good stuff bro, on point subjects, well though, well explained and fun to watch. Would analog or semi-analog processing improve significantly the sound?
Guear or not understanding the concept behind mixing is what must be learned so thanks.

This is amazing! Wowzers

Hahaha omfg This series of tutorials is very good hahahaha greetings from Spain!
Dude, your videos are great!!!
What does sync on the wavetables mean? Is it Random phase? The beat tastes really good btw!
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscillator_sync
Johnny Moser Wow thank you, never heard of that.
The most famous osc sync song: ua-cam.com/video/ExYsh1W22Wo/v-deo.html
Take a shot every time he says “wowzers”
perfect layering , thanks
🤗😭😏
I don't understand where the "layers" come from? Do I have to dublicate every track and layer it manually?
5:00 on repeat, forever.
can we hear the finished track? not finding on ur soundcloud yet
Could we use this for vocal?
Arigato, Underbelly-san!
*takes a bow*
Playing with Shades as in Eprom and Alix Perez? Make some of that shit in one of your videos. That shit is dope, thx Dad.

@@syokiofficial very well said.
You maniac, i love your videos !!
bass sounds like dedmau5 - opens SERUM - now i see why. awesom video man, please keep doing these
You mean I can put different elements in my music that complement each other? That's crazy! OMG Mind = Blown.
whoa. a show with igloo. that's fuckin crazy. good luck, dude!
I wasnt ready to hear him swear. legit scared me lol
Best tutorials ever...
shades definitely is music for my underbelly
Oh wowsers, this is so funny but so didactic at the same time, thank u for this
Hey Dude,this is so cool! Thank you for making this video man!🔥

I do suck at layering, this is perfect
Dope tutorials!!!

Did you ever release this synth in a song b
"onions have layers but,so do beats~poet underbelly"
Where can we get the synth onion plugin? Haha j/k
You don't always need to layer 7 doubled guitar tracks...no wait, yes you do.
LMAO, your personality is fantastic!
Love the "NOT ASS favorite"

Midnight oil burnin'?
madpie109 the guy is very annoying bt lot of useful tips ....I keep coming back dnt mind him jst take the info .
How is it annoying? I find him hilarious
SHAUN MAQ I think his idea, is don’t take it seriously and don’t over complicate. Keep it simple.
@@ME1986c the synth is literally called onion
why would you take it seriously?
Hope your show went well
