Like if you want to see Trixi in more videos :)
Ok
Most important video 👊
U BETTER LIKE IT PPL!!!!!
i m ur 5 subscriber .....
U are the beast behind My sound engineering...at Ghana but will try my possible best to see u one-day wherever u are.. ✊✊
yes
Maybe I need "The realistic synthesizer guitar" now 😂😂
My favourite guitar vst IS a synth! Try "Arido 3.33"
+
But that one won't be as simple....
And maybe also other non-electronic instruments for genres such as orchestra. I think there's a lot you can create with Vital.
Image-Line recently released 2 FREE guitar FLEX packs that sound VERY realistic. You can even hear strings snapping back and "fret fingers" lol. I hope that holds you over!
@@HazyJ28 Yeah I found out today. That was a punch in the gut. Here I am try-harding, diving deep into to the resonance behaviour and whatnot, getting fairly close to the real thing...
And today I think, lets mess with FLEX (which got recommended to me recently), hmm guitar essential pack....
Ok, with one push of a button.... BOOM outperformed by a long shot 😢
But I guess it's worth analysing the preset to learn (though I think a lot happens behind the screen there).
Man you are the calmest person I have ever seen. & I never made it this earlier on your channel I am lucky today
How to make a vocal lead would be great!
I'll see what I can do!
Oh Id love this!
@@inthemix Hello bro you have did video on best headphones best audio interface but could you plz make one specific video on best mic under 200 dollars
A tip from an orchestral composer; Let mod wheel control dynamics
Instead of playing with attack,
control volume, filters, etc. with a mod wheel.
In addition, make a macro control entire volume (expression), another one control vibrato. Then, link them to your faders.
The more controllable, the more flexible and FUN😆
Kinda randomness and details make it blend with real orchestral samples.
PS Love your basic synth design series.
So comprehensive and brief that I can use these techniques in other synths immediately.
Thank you for the videos!
Or maybe use labs free string samples 😂
@tateshi Honestly you’re right, I just wanted to make sure this was quite simple :)
@@rashid5271 You found an epic wavetable🤣
Btw, synthesizing real orchestral sounds is really exciting.
Amp, distortion, granular, etc.
Orchestras are the richest oscillators :)
The calmest person in the world, simple explanation.
Waiting for more sound design videos :)
😭YOU'VE INSPIRED ME TO PICK UP MUSIC PRODUCTION AGAIN 😭😭😭😭😭😭!
thank you! Think I lost it cuz I couldn't find instruments I really liked and may get a little stressed out when trying to customize the plugins. I love Ambient,synth type atmospheric music. You reminded me why I enjoyed it before, heck you taught me all I know about fl studio!😭thanks man love from the Philippines🇵🇭
I love your calmness, some people go too fast when explaining and then you cant follow along, but you are really calm.
Just what I looked for all these years. Samples are good but feel alien to me. Never able to thank you enough Michael. All the best.
Saving this for later! This is so useful. I really appreciate that you've even entered the envelopes details in the chapter titles. Thanks!
I reallllly needed this tutorial today! It has been a sad day for me. Thank you Michael for bringing light! ❤
I don't know what you've gone through, but I'm sorry and I hope that your future is better than today. All the best, my friend.
@@davidbrussard-composer7372 thank you very much friend, for your kind words! Best wishes to you too! :)
i hope you're feeling better now :)
Please continue the vital series Michael. Words aren't enough to describe how much I'm learning from you.
The tutorial is wonderful, Michael. However, I have fallen IN LOVE with your new intro music. I dunno why, but it makes me smile. Compliments your laid-back, genuine energy very nicely! =D
This is the best video on UA-cam. As always, thank you for your time and expertise, Michael.
This is one of the most beautiful synth string sounds I’ve heard.
Yeah, man. You can read my mind for real. I was about to search about big strings & got the notification xD.
Thanks!
Happy to help!
@@inthemix Hello bro you have did video on best headphones best audio interface but could you plz make one specific video on best mic under 200 dollars
This is the answer to a question I was asking myself just a few days ago. Thank you!
EXCELLENT Vital tutorial, Michael, thank you again!
Thank you so much for the knowledge you share with everyone. I really appreciate what a kind soul like you does.
Man your videos are amazing, easy to learn, specially the vital tutorials !!
Been waiting for this!
I appreciate your tutorials. They are soothing and educational.
Wonderful as always. Thank you man!!!!
Michael i have learned so much from you and even some plugins and also very focused synth vital. Thank you so much❤❤❤
You are great brother ❤️❤️🔥🔥
Very straight forward, point to point, deep knowledge= in the mix💪
Thank you for using Vital. I love this synth so much.
Good Video as always...i came up from an absloute different genre but your tutorials are quiet the best on youtube. love it!
Much needed video. Thanks for sharing it 😊
You are awesome, Thanks for putting on a great sound at Vital Synth. Thanks!
Great stuff Michael. Glad you used Vital on this one. I've been toggling between Omnisphere and Vital for all your SD videos. Seems like Serum is a bit different. Concepts are great though, as now I can apply to virtually any synth. Thanks for all the excellent videos.
Love the series. Keep up the videos!
The best sound design tutorials on youtube!
Thank you so much, this is gonna be so helpful indeed!
looking forward to the video, just want to see the doggo is a very good boy!
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
I really like these kind of videos, thanks!
Great video man! Lots of love from Brazil 🇧🇷
Good to see you again, sensei!
Finally some good sound design tutorial
Thanks! But I didn’t go anywhere, I post a video almost every week :)
i always wanted to be able to do that so thanks for the tutorial!
Thank you very much for your videos.
Thanks for the video. I learned a lot.
I'm getting into cinematic trap/Future Bass right now and the prices of some of these Cinematic plugins and packs are way above what I want to spend. This has helped me GREATLY, it's free, and I learned a lot about the effects these many knobs have over the sound. Thanks!
This VST looks really intuitive! Great choice
Thanks a lot Michael
I heard good things about this vst but holy cow you sold me on it with this demo
Dude i learn two things from u 1: pure calming eng language 2:ofc great production tips. U helped me alot from the straight beginning. I still remembered when i just used to play fl studios preloaded flps for example 🙂. Thank u ❤
Man you are awesome, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge!
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCHHHHH 🥰 I LEARN A LOT
Great Educational video
Thank you for this.
this is amazing! Thank you so much! :D
Brilliant!
Loved it.
Again and again watching just to make my own pack like you please do more about this would be great
Thank you so much...much needed ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thanks a lot, it's kinda magic to recreate strings sound based on wavetables ! =)
Well explained. ❣️ Waiting for the next parts.....🔥🤩
thank you, this was a very cool tutorial.
Beat videos I ever expected form you
Thank you for this!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
THANKS 4 THIS INTERESTING, INFORMATIVE, HELPFUL & USEFUL SOUND DESIGN TUTORIAL, Michael, In The Mix!!! ;) :)
Amazing tutorial well explained
Thank you for this video teacher♥️♥️♥️
Awesome Work ✌️
I want one separate video on creating wavetable and how to use matrix in Vital in detail that would be a great help. By the way this video was, as we know amazing. Keep up the good work. Best wishes.
Great timing, I was contemplating making nf beats
This series is really helpful
Man, it helps me a lot!
Just downloaded vital, it's a great vst.
Thanks 👍 and cheers
This is great ❤️
Thank you, Sir
This guy is crazy ......i love you ❤️
Very very nice man ❤️❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥💥💥
Creating vocal chops would be a cool tutorial
L. Dre has a nice tutorial on that, but definitely would love to see michael doing one too
Appreciate this topic💯💯😥🔥Strings are so lovely😥
Oh man its great
Btw the studio looks so pretty!
Thanks bro....your tutoring is class apart
I really waited for the moog bass one to go up!!
I need it . ..
You re a pro in this
With tutorials like this, I'm glad you can make those kinds of sounds with a free VST. Because it's free, I don't have to worry about looking for free orchestral libraries, nor do I have to worry about space like you said. I bet you can show us how to recreate other orchestral instruments with this program like solo strings, woodwinds, or maybe even a timpani if possible. In fact, I'd love to see you do some Sakura tutorials because that plugin doesn't get enough attention. Either way, good luck on your content and thank you for this tutorial. (5-2-2021)
Awesome
Amazing
You’re so professional. How do you know so many things (like the rates, dB rates, etc)? Wow! 😍👍🏼
I would really love a good simple(ish) tutorial on the classic dubstep growl. Thanks!
Nice video 👌👌
I knew youre gonna do this
Holy shit man. Your voice is soothing af...
Acoustic piano and guitar would be AMAZING to see you take a swing at!
Nice tips !
Here is one from me:
Load in a quite bad sampled library of a string ensemble you have, and use it as the modulator in a vocoder, to modulate your synth you've just created. If you have good vocoder, you can play simple chords (major or minor) in the key of the song you are doing over 2 octaves (program midi to help you play more notes than you have fingers) in the range where you want to use your synth, and freeze that frequency response. From here on out the vocoder is static (you could discard the sampler), but you've just applied an overall filter to the output of your synth to shape the overall tonal caracteristic of your synth. You retain control over attack, decay, LFOs, and all the other work you've done to give your synth a string sound. This is nice especially if the sampled library you have is not usuable as an instrument but still provides you with the overall sound of the instrument you are trying to emulate.
You can also do the same for woodwinds and everything else.
A saw a sleeping, dreaming puppy and *completely* missed every word you said in the last minute :D
The rest of the tutorial was great though! I need to get myself this synth too.
When he said that I already have the patch, that was like a 4th wall break. Only the wall was behind me, not the other way around.
lol that blew my mind lmaooooo
Congratulation!
Great tutorial, thanks!
There\s kind of trick to dynamically switch between long attack and release and short punchy attack for staccato-like sound, I guess: I route Env1 attack and realease and Env2 sust to velocity, so with hard hitting i got punchy sound, and soft touch gives me a long rising sound.
Great tutorial as always Michael!! P.S. I know it's probably not in your style.. but it would be interesting to see your aproach on sound design techniques about those trendy slap basses. In fact some brazillian bass tracks or slap house feels very spacious in low end and gets quite complex with so much effects on vocal phrases etc., but hmm.. mono compatibility also matters. 🧐😁
I wanna say, as a composer I checked this out and it to be honest, it's not really a good replacement for strings, I'd rather use Labs. BUT: the lows sound really good. Dark, omnious and also powerful. You can also reshape it a little to create an awesome sounding pad. I don't check out sound design video's very often, but this was really interesting, thanks Michael!
I love you dude. In a really normal way though
Making a song start to finish would be great.
Great vid, I could reproduce this tutorial on both Vital and Dune 3. Very useful and I want to add that sometimes, less realistic strings sit better with other electronic instruments.
I’m glad it worked! I also agree, sometimes it’s much easier to fir them into a mix and make them cut through!
