you are hands down the best teacher there is, i learned so much throughout these few months since i started watching your videos. Thank you very much sir.
on 909, you usually start rolls from super short decay on snare, and progressively make it longer (it sounds almost like velocity/accent as our ears perceive longer decay notes as louder
Oscar is absolutely goated with the sauce at teaching these house/techno staple techniques. I love the titled segments on each video. I love his workflow. I use Logic to produce but from the way he teaches, it is very simple to carry these tidbits from Ableton to Logic. No other tutorials on UA-cam come close
legit learn more things from you than anyone else. also no annoying accent and you have fabulous enthusiastic energy. i feel guilty sometimes watching your videos and know i am getting the info for free however you make it so much easier to learn and i have ADHD so the length of the videos is perfect, so if i have to rewatch several times i can without wandering.
after the "rumble techno' video the next step is here... understand the snare roll. Good teacher. I make my own project based on these vids, but the most important - I KNOW what I'm doing and which things have effects for the whole sound. Music became Sound :)
That "snare buildup" from the end of the video is even way older than modern EDM. I recall it from the 90s as the standard snare buildup, and I think it's even older than that. It mostly started on 8th instead of quarter notes, though. If you're going for a more oldschool sound, it would be a viable choice.
Yeah, I remember it being in those cheap Ejay sample packs (like Techno Ejay and the stuff by Magix) in the early 2000s and it was considered a cliche even then. "Machine gun" snares (almost always with 909 samples) were great if you needed a quick way to get from a breakdown to the main loop, but they were so overused that they got boring pretty quickly.
I was going to leave the same comment. The "snare build up" takes me back to the 90s, 96-99. I don't know if I was listening to the "latest" tracks then as I was an American visiting my Polish family in Poland during the summers when I would hear that EDM. I'd visit underground dance parties and hear it spun there. In the 2000s, I later heard comments about how the snare buildup was an unimaginative cliche trope, but it was effective at one point.
I have always working with samples from old vinyl records and make beats and instrumental hiphop stuff. But im have always been in love in techno and all kinds of electronic music. Now after i have seen your videos i have start to take my first step to make techno, and your videos have helped me alot
I got a little more than excited about this upload. I was tapping on everything so much as a kid, my parents put me in band class when I was 9. Snare was my choice, and I’ve always been a giant fan. Ended up being the single drummer in our schools marching band at one point, and snare rolls and buzzrolls with crazy stuff was all I would do 😂 I couldn’t help myself from being the center of attention even when we performed lol.
@@OscarUnderdog I’ve been wishing I had a midi mesh pad to record snare rolls with so much 😭😭 I do my best to program drums of course but I definitely do miss having a snare on me! Maybe one day 😎😎
I like to have the snare hits alternate between left then right pan, starting in the middle with 0 pan then gradually swinging harder left and right up until the last 4 snare hits which I set back to 0 so they are dead center. I don't tend to go full hard pan left and right but maybe something a little more moderate. Gives them an interesting widening and then collapsing feeling before the drop.
That's super helpful, thanks! I've heard snare rolls in many tracks and never really nailed the sound, when I tried to recreate it. Those velocity patterns did the trick ;-)
Love that preview of the new FtS track. Got such a delicate minimal feel to it; the bass is complementing the drums so well. Would sit perfect in a Solomun set ♥
Genius ! Thank you so much - I love it when I 'like' a video a few seconds in, because I know it's going to tell me what I want to know ✌❤🎶 Edit: Now that I've finished wacthing - In answer to your terminology "Snare Roll / Snare Buildup" It was a Snare Roll I wanted but searched for both - So I got 2 for 1 - Snare build up also !!! Awesome. Love the Channel Name too.
There is no (machine) snare more satisfying than the 909 one 😄 I have a Roland drum kit which of course has 808 & 909 presets and I'm always switching back and forth when I'm in the mood for some weirder stuff that doesn't have to sound like a real drum kit :P Furthermore thanks again for the good stuff ♥ I've learned so much from your videos and love your vibe. Always looking forward to the next one.
I said to myself who is the lady in the beginning of your video twisting the knobs? It was you! I was thinking why does he not talk of building up the snare to a powerful release? Than you came up with "Cardinal Sin" haha. I make trance related music, before I used it more in my tracks such a snare build up, but I will still make tracks with such a snare build up. I follow your videos. You do it very well. Keep on going.I will check your projects Torc and Face The Sun. greetz from Tirlemont Jason
Reakky appreciate the effort you put into these video's! They're a bit too slow for me personally but I can really see this helping beginning producers!
I really know nothing about fashion, and even if I did know anything it's not often right to comment about it, but.... ... that jumper you're wearing in this video is amazing!
Prior to my even knowing what EDM was, I preferred the buildup. I loved creating them on my electribes and my mc303. Of course I didn't have all the pumping effects but I could use reverb or delay and just cut the snare half a bar short for a splash effect. It was good fun... and this was back in 99- 2005 when EDM was not even a big thing. You could find the build ups in a lot of industrial and EBM music as I was a Goth kid... lol
Hey Oscar! Can you make a more detailed tutorial about drum rolls? I would love to see a descontruction of of different types of drum rollls, from the oldschool goa trance rolls to the splashy modern techno ones, or even the mix of both. It would ne nice to see how you create texture with them.
Hello there. I am using caustic 3 for six years now. I wish more people would talk about this app. It's still available on pc and you can download it and try. I am using mostly mobile version. If you could download it and waste a bit of time on it and see if this app is for serious production or not . That would be helpful for many people that I know. Cheers
Awesome as always! I'd have two questions: 1) where can I buy the sweater :D 2) in the bass line following the build up, there is some super groovy perc hit or something. Is that a syncopated tom or something in the like? Been wondering how to get something like that for ages
Isn't it weird how something we might once have avoided as a trademark of something else or somone else can drop into a different context and just work. Like taking a classic and totally reworking it in a radically different way. The plug-in takes away so many of the limitations of drum machine programming. Ok the sounds just become another available voice but getting rid of the buttons is liberating.
I'm an experimental hitech psy producer, and I find those EDM snare build-up (or kick build-up) parts do work for me. It's often a matter of adding the right fx, or even just playing with the pattern a bit to make the beat drop more unexpectedly.
One of the side effects to working with electronic music is your hands start to become the hands of an automaton. It will gradually silver the nails and eventually the whole hand.
Seems like a lot of clicking. Drag in an arpeggiator, and automate the steps and velocities. Throw on a filter and automate filter fx. Assign some macros and "jam in" a snare roll with your controller. Macro the transposition for pitch fx. Macro the envelopes to adjust attack and release. You can also throw in some beat repeat to glitch it up a bit. Group it in a rack and save it for use in future projects.
10:25 I think it highly depends on the execution, for example listen to Phantoms can't hang by deadmau5, that track sounds like it's making fun of the bigroom stuff at the time (e.g. Martin Garrix - Animals), but the end result is a masterpiece (the whole album) IMO.
Thank you so much sir,for this informative video, really means a lot,Can you make a video on Progressive Uplifting Trance or House music? It would mean a lot...Have a nice day sir ...peace ✌️

Not sure what is more fire, your 909 skills or your nail game 💅
on 909, you usually start rolls from super short decay on snare, and progressively make it longer (it sounds almost like velocity/accent as our ears perceive longer decay notes as louder
Oscar, you accomplish in 10-15 minutes what takes others 2-3x as long. Great tight format. and again more wonderful tools for the toolbox. Awesome.

You've a fun guy, Oscar. Your little jokes and dances always crack me up. 🙂
Loved the deadmau5 masterclass ad quote!!
your channel is absolute gold
Damn Oscar, I had a hard time finishing this one since I kept rewinding back to the roll and drop at 2:42. What follows is catchy as hell!
😂 Min 4:02 for me

as far as i remember "kick buildups" with that pattern were more common back then.

I really love when you dance on the groove! :-)
you always make production fun which is what it should be. always look forward to ur uploads, thanks Oscar : )

Great content as always. Dancing in the background of the session was a nice touch :D
@Underdog Electronic Music School , is this a scammer?
Holy shiszkabobs, that low end on your track at min 4:02 💣🤤
MY GUY, I'll have to link you to a track I'm working on. You helped me figure a lot of it out!
Your videos makes this a lot of fun!
❤ thank you to share your enthousiasm with us.

Yes OV... I would like a video for some tips on how to get my groove on the same as you please :D

Great video!
Can you make a video on how to make other types of (buildups) without using snare rolls? Are there different ways of making build-ups?
The best quality
The love!
Haha i already liked yojr vobe but the dancing at the end.. hell yes
"404 kit not found" - the most musical dad's joke ever what the CS geek like me can understand. :D
Awesome as always!
I'd have two questions:
1) where can I buy the sweater :D
2) in the bass line following the build up, there is some super groovy perc hit or something. Is that a syncopated tom or something in the like? Been wondering how to get something like that for ages
Yeeeep 808 ish toms!
@@OscarUnderdog What about the sweater?
Awesome thank you
Damn, that techno groove was sick!! Are you planning on finishing that?
What’s the name of the first song???? It’s amazing
I like the cardinal sin - I'm that age :D
Snare rushes are always deadly serious 😂
“Cardinal Sin of EDM right here” 😂 deadmau5 would agree
PLEASE NAME OF THE SONG AT 11:08 Dancing outro 💃
If that is a TR909 then Oscar must be 5meters tall
Hahahahahaha yes i surely am, with my normal human-sized roland!
I love you.
Love you right back! 😁❤️

Nails look great hehe. Metalic green?
Cool thsnks
Même sans synthe le tr1ck fonctionne plutôt bien je trouve
Edm build up devrait aussi marche avec 1 automation sur arpegiator ou beat repeat je pense
i like the sweater dude, where did you buy it from??

when will you launch your dancing course? :D Amazing video as usual!

Thanks very much for this, Even though i only wanted the EDM build up :)

909 snare is definitely better IMO and I always do the EDM snare build up, its so good :D
