Hello friends, in today's tutorial I will be covering sound design and arrangement in the style of CharlesTheFirst utilizing Vital and a plethora of Ableton stock effects.
(Note that as an alternative to Ableton's effects, Vital's distortion modes, filters, and your native DAWs alternatives can also be used to great affect.)
Charles' signature sound comes from not just his face melting distorted and processed sine waves, but from his next level arrangements - incorporating melodic and harmonic lines between heavy bass interludes.
However, one can reduce the complex arrangements down to 3 simple parts - melody, harmony, and a bass. From there, complexity can be introduced through experimentation.

RIP CHARLES
RIP to a true legend and inspiration 👑
Literally trying to hold back tears i cant even
Rip a visionary
RIP such an inspiration
Such creative force… did you ever post this one patreon?
Hey dude, this video is a holy text. You covered the basses superbly, but there are so many melodic features, pads, percussive elements, sick effects, transitions and ambient ear candy in Charle's music that I think he deserves another video.
"Just like everything else CharlesTheFirst has ever touched, it's a sine wave" Lmao 😂
Rest easy King Charles. We love you. CTF forever!
Your tutorials have changed the way I listen to electronic music. I’m beginning to pick up on how certain basses and sounds are made
I be like “oh that sounds like a sine wave with some unison, maybe some distortion, an lfo etc “
I’m grateful for your tutorials man, they have helped accelerate my learning process. Sending love from FL
Take a shot every time bunting says “sine wave” ;)
Well THANK YOU Caleb, you can expect my hospital bill in the mail in about 3 to 4 days
Or “right”...really good tutorial though
What I love about this style, is that it sounds like G funk!
Rest In Peace to the King.
I recently had a tooth pulled, and listened to his album The ASCENT while it was happening, and nitrous was hitting, and I was just missing him hard, but I left that dentist's chair reinvigorated towards sound design. I really appreciate you making this video. Hope you're well.
This was EXTREMELY insightful. A million thanks!
Thee way you arranged that around. 18 min really opened my mind a bit. Getting out of regular chord progressions while still having melody
this is next level, you make everything so much more simple and i thank you for that
i love you so much.
hoped this video would exist. it does. commenting on 123 comments.
everything aligns.
also ur patreon is dope, to this day
yo, that was most def a banger vid. Thankyou SO much for helping me figure out some shit ive been trying to grok for a while now. you're amazing
You really deserve to pop off. Like you should be doing masterclasses, there are 100x more people that would kill for this info relative to your sub count.
can you elaborate
@@BuntingMusic I think what he's trying to say is that there are a ton of people who want/need this information and education technique but just don't know about you. If said individuals did, they would be following you. You're an amazing teacher, you deserve to be recognized more.
@@trippyrips6103 SEO is the way
Omg your amazing. clean tutorial going over everything you do, but your personality had me laughing as well. 10/10
Thanks so much for making this! I spent so much time trying to learn sin compression and bass design with little progress. Finding this channel has made using crazy bass sounds feasible for me.
Of the Trees would be a sick one. Learning alot from you! Much love
i did one on him - check my channel
@@BuntingMusic Thanks bro
My favourite tutorial so far, keep it up homie
big if true
dude your videos are awesome thank you
You a beast my guy. Subbed.
Man you're such a beast, damn, Thanks for sharing all this stuff, I'm really grateful! CTF
extremely close , really good job
Tut god in the flesh! Great vid!
this was so darn helpful thank you SO MUCH !
thanks man sharing this with producer friends
Hell yeah dude thank you, you just got a new sub
Thank you so much for all this!
this is so dope thank you
RIP Charles. what better way to celebrate his genius. great video bro
So good
Thanks bunty
you're the man!!!
Fantastic
Idk why he calls himself bunting when he clearly knocks it out the park!
Bunting is a prodigy
You kick so much ass. Thank you!
RIP Charles. 😔
crushing all these tutorials, suggestion for a video:
Meduso's sound (specifically Yugen LP), i know he uses a moog sub37 for a lot of stuff but curious to see what you come up with!
Coming here to learn to spread the love
So you post a video about Charlesthefirst, which makes you the king.
Also, Charles the First was a king of England.
Also also, today is EXACTLY 269 days until the next Martin Luther King day.
Also ALSO also, last thing I heard on the radio was a song by B.B. King.
I think the Universe is aligning perfectly.
👁
I never actually watched this completely through but wtf...insane
Rest in piece, bro
Thank you sir!!!!
If you're looking for content suggestions, I would love to see more exploration of composition and arrangement from you
I'd love to see an Automhate style sound design tutorial!
very noicee
"wait its all just sine waves?"
"always has been..."
Yo, your vids are sick! Thank you! Would you ever be down to do this sort of video but for Boogie T? His song Raven Master has some real dope basses in it that I have always wanted to learn.
Please do some of VCTRE’s harmonic basses !! Much love on the video man . Super helpful
will do, i do cover some in that style in my deep dub and halftime vids & more tho
@@BuntingMusic awesome thanks
Man ! I actually just found your content today . I’ll look into
That . I subbed to your patreon so you will likely have me naggin you with some
More requests in the near future . But yeah dude . Super on point tutorials . I’ve browsed a lot of BS “buy my preset”UA-cam nonsense and your a cut above!
Damn just got this re-recommended to me and it’s just sad to see someone like him go /:
Dude your shit is quality
rest easy charles 👑🤘🏻
Wow thank you so much! Hare Krishna God Bless! ❤🙏😀
Damn RIP Charles 💔
R.I.P. Charles
🖤🖤🖤🖤✌️🕉 Love always Charles 😓
Thanks for this bro. How would I go about doing this in FL? Which plugins or effects would be best compared to these ones? Im a patreon supporter btw. Thanks for all the content
any plugins with some kind of distortion will get you similar results
Yeeee
I know, I know... It's a sine wave.. But can you do one for Tripzy Leary style hovercraft bass?
Yeeeeeuhhh
🖤‼️
Hi I’m new to your channel, I love these vids thank you so much 🙏🏽 I wanting to get into producing but not sure what midi keyboard to pick yet. What are your favorites?
i have a casio cdp-100 which is 88 keys and fully weighted, but a smaller unweighted keyboard is fine, you don’t really need one unless you really want it, nonetheless check reddit for recommendations
@@BuntingMusic oh sorry i meant what midi sound boards you prefer but thank you 🙏🏽
🤘🏼
You can pitch bend in Live trough MPE in Note expression tab either in clip or arrangement 6:25 [PS love your video though]
Can you recommend cool keys for bass music other than C+E major because I'm stuck in those lol I'm gonna try Fminor cus you mention it in the vid.
ꨄ !!
can we get a video just on drums sir and different styles of drums?
I can't pinpoint which songs, but I am fairly certain that Charles intentionally panned his subs sometimes! Listen to his music in headphones and you will notice it. It's done very tastefully.
yo i would personally love a kursa style or a chee, or maybe some frequent? anyway as always love the vid take it easy dog
gotchu, will do some more in that style but check out my halftime tutorial for now!!
RIP
Sound design request: the bass in Harvest by Of the Trees
youre the shit dude
So what’s that first sound you start with in the tutorial? Did you make that or is that a sample? I get how you are manipulating it, but what did you start with?
👍🏻
Beginner here, what instrument did you use for the first bass sound? Where can I find SHNTH2?
dude where tf did you come from and thank god i found you
Is there a reason why you use Vital instead of Serum? Is there a meaningful difference? And do you know which one CharlesTheFirst (and others) use?
vital is free and does most of the things serum can do, charlesthefirst and many bass artists probably use operator, but are likely flexible
Yes bb
Do you have any suggestions for free plugins to use in place of amp or pedal? I only have the mid tier ableton :/
any free amp sim will do - even something like camelcrusher might give a similar effect
What scale does charles tend to us the most?
Can you do a free-form track from scratch tutorial?
check out my arrangement video and my livestreams
yoo just a friendly heads its actually pronounced like Tam-Bur. Like Tam rhyming with Cam
at 9:47, what did you mean by drawing in everything with a dedicated sub?
eq our the low end on your mid basses and follow the same midi with another track which has a fat sine wave in it (sub bass)
I for the life of me cannot recreate the sustain bass in Kumarion's track - "Want it". Or any similar type of sustain.
Help me Bunting, you are my only hope
saturator on sinoid fold, mess with drive and base knobs, maybe depth and freq knobs, eq to accentuate frequencies, and add the hiss preset of erosion to add the white noise
this is all on just a sine wave
@@BuntingMusic So I use Serum and FL, Saturator has effects I have trouble replicating with plugins I have access to. You think I can recreate a similar Saturator vibe with SerumFX?
Although I've been thinking of making the jump to Ableton anyways. Seems to be everyone but Eliminate using ableton
🥀🥀🔥🔥🥀🥀
excuse me sir ! i download the project bundle but i don't see this project :)
Why are my 808 samples from you dragging in as 2 seconds long? Would appreciate if you know the solution to this. Thanks man!
Make sure you untick the warp feature on the sample!
The discord link doesn't work anymore, at least not for me :/
how do i get my filter frew to 77 without it being so quiet?
turn on the filter envelope
Huuge
RIP legend
