    Thank you. I will use these techniques in my future songs. I don't have serum, but I have sylenth and recently got massive on a huge discount. That combined with vital, sytrus, GMS and some other new free synths installed will be a great practice session.. I have some AIR Music synths as well and recently realized they are awesome (plus they always have discounts going on)..

    so far I've always shyed away from sound design, because I don't understand Synths that much and thought it will be much easier/faster to just use proven presets.
    but damn, you just opened my eyes to so many possibilities - thanks big time, Alex! ✨🙌

    @fritsvanzanten3573 6 місяців тому +1

    Funny, I used Vital, and found, playing along with you, that, first part, when you go up the keyboard the pad gets less harmonics ('advanced' tab, or spectrum), so the sound characteristic changes, but when you add key tracking, the harmonics stay the same. Now 'key tracking' has a face for me ;-)

    can you explain technically what "unison" is??

    • @fonesrphunny7242
      @fonesrphunny7242 2 місяці тому

      You take a sample, copy it and slightly change the pitch of that copy. The slight mismatch in pitch gives more "volume" (not loudness/amplitude) and can be used for increasing stereo width. You can do this as much as you want, but with too many copies the sound gets very muddy, so use in moderation.
      All DAWs these days should have a plugin for this by now.
      This is also how pianos and 12 guitars get their sound: several strings are tuned to the same note, but with tiny deviations.
