In this video, I'm going to teach you the basics of sound design using 3 levels of sound design - beginner, intermediate and pro. We'll be using Phase Plant by Kilohearts to demonstrate the synthesis techniques.
By the end of this video, you'll be able to create your own sound effects, presets and synth patches using synthesis and sampling, as well as phase plant. I'll also provide you with free presets and projects so that you can start creating right away!

Nick is a gem 💎

[@eyes_hurting]

so are you, chief. God bless you.

[@eyes_hurting]

we appreciate you, nick. splice better give you a raise. God bless.

[@cgasound]

This is going to be crazy helpful for my workflow. Thank you.

[@jubeijackson6602]

Presets are great and so helpful with my work flow but I’m learning sound design to really express and communicate those dynamic moments! Cheers

[@johnsignoretti4002]

Nick you rock the party that rocks the body!!

[@CarlitoProductions]

I just realized I'm still a beginner since 2009 lol. These are good tips!

[@galarianslowpoke]

I’m usually a presets guy but definitely
got some inspiration from this one!

[@airesv_]

Man, Nick is so talented,is he an award winning producer? If not it's unfair 🤔

[@hip_hopwar8844]

🔥🔥

[@Arnases]

Nick has been listening to Rumble it seems :)

[@johnsignoretti4002]

When do think you might do a tutorial on composing EDM leads, bass, pads etc?? Thank you very much

[@nickthechen]

Any specific edm genre? I’ll try to do something in the future!!

[@FloydRunner2049]

@@nickthechen Not for EDM, really appreciate you taking a recorded sample and the cat resampler. I used a lot of real life samples and twisting the mundane til it’s recognizable or the source is indistinguishable. The journey is half the fun!

[@haleys_hus]

3:40 noooo not cbat!!

[@FloydRunner2049]

The YT speech-to-text detected Face Paint for hearting a fave, and Mello-Fi defaulted to melody.

[@iluislarez]

Is it my idea, or the beat at 7:17 its very skrillish?

[@shinjukucafe]

I decided to delete my stupid comment so it wouldn't hurt anyone

[@shinjukucafe]

I forgot to say that I use splice only and only for vst instruments and I never use loops/melodies that someone else has made and I only make my own drum/percussion and Chord/melodies patterns.

[@Skrenja]

What? Good trap beats are not that simple to make. Making a decent trap beat with perfect 808's/low end, unique drums that slap, interesting hi-hat patterns, cool sound design and a catchy melody that doesn't sound generic as hell is actually pretty damn difficult. If it was that "simple" and easy -- _everyone_ would be producing hit trap records. Often times in electronic music, the simplest sounding genres can be the most difficult to produce.

[@cornbone]

nobody cares that you hate hip hop. go watch videos about jazz if you want to see videos about jazz. its pretty obvious that you're not the target demographic for these videos, so leave instead of taking up space and demanding the content to change for you. your comments about hip hop and trap are just disrespectful and its very clear that you aren't educated on the subject. just because you personally dislike a genre doesn't mean you have the authority to diminish it entirely. there are so many derivative, garbage songs in the genres you make. its not about the genre but about the artist's skill. take your pretentious snobbery elsewhere. you are not superior to other musicians because you make "objectively good" genres, you just have a personal preference like everyone else.

[@shinjukucafe]

@@cornbone you are right and when I thought more about my own comment, I decided to delete it because it was not good for the youtube/music community and when I posted my comment, I was in a bad mood. but I would like music companies to invest more in other music genres as well. but yeah, my previous comment was really stupid and now I deleted it and I'm not going to comment in the same way in the future. have a nice day 😀

[@cornbone]

@@shinjukucafe ill admit i went a little hard on you cause i assumed you were gonna double down and be a jerk about it, and thats my bad. i was in a bad mood when i wrote my initial comment as well. i appreciate that you were actually receptive to what i said and changed your mind, i didn't expect that lol. hope you have a nice day too!
