Why Does OTT Sound So Good?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 чер 2024
- There's more to OTT than meets the eye. OTT is a multiband compression preset in Ableton used by producers making bass heavy electronic music like dubstep, and is known to make everything better. But why is this? In this tutorial I want to go deep into OTT and explain how it makes mixes louder. Understanding exactly how OTT works will lead to a deeper understanding of music production as a whole, and will uncover some profound ideas in audio and the history of dance music. You might not use OTT at all, but understanding what it does will make you a better music producer.

It just adds gain and doesnt let you hear the actual compression. Complete bias

I'm so tired of all these youtubers clickbaiting and teaching the same basics in 10 different vids, this channel is just awesome
another amazing video. now i have to watch the eq one, too xD
Honestly 💜
i didn't expect god himself to be here

Bro, your mission to make this channel a place for obscure yet fundamental mixing knowledge is so interesting and unique, but also incredibly useful! Explaining the "why" behind what we do is so often overlooked, and thus, so very much needed right now. Your channel is like the VSauce of music production lol, and I love it! These videos are so complex, but also super fun and interesting and structured very well - where things build on each other and one thing leads seamlessly into the next. They really do fly by! The way you revealed what OTT stood for at 13:34 was just brilliant! Such a fun and engaging way to teach genuinely life-changing concepts in mixing and production! Chef's kiss, and well done! Please keep 'em coming!
VSause of music production!!! Hahaha that’s great and very true
@@420minegod2 or is it 🤨
Vsauce of music production! You nailed it!
indeed very unique and gap filling channel! it's so sad that he seems not to make videos anymore
I see a top tier youtuber in the making. I predict 50k by 2022 lets goooo great content bruv
Aged like milk
Almost ish
Poor guy disappeared after the countermeasures were distributed
You seemed to have stop making videos. Don't stop, these are outstanding.
The amount of work a video like this takes to make is wildly underestimated..
Payoff just not worth it unless subscribers donate
@@TheHonestTrutheasy. let’s all donate.
Someone find him on another social and tell him we have 100ppl people doing $20/mo.
@@jasongravely7217 tried, he's just not present anywhere -_-
I just stumbled on your channel and it's amazing how well you explain difficult concepts in music production. I'm not very good with the technicalities yet but I find myself learning so much with each of your videos. Thanks a lot.
Only recently discovered your channel, and it's blowing my mind. I'm aware of the (many) flaws in my production but had very little knowledge of how to improve - and I think videos like this are exactly the kind of thing I need to help me take the step to improve my mixing and frequency distribution. So clear and well explained, thank you
I love how you treat topics in your channel, i like going so deep to really understand how things works in order to use them better!
This is some crazy quality content, thank you for the work put into it, keep going !! Looking forward for your next videos !
im really impressed with your ability to put this into literal terms, and not just adjectives that mean nothing. i don’t make electronic music primarily, my main thing is recording live instruments, often on the computer, often on tape. but I have an appreciation and love for dance music and I found this to be very very insightful
I just discovered your channel last night. Got to say you are one of the best teachers on UA-cam. You really know how to lead people through an idea without dumbing it down. Thank you
This makes for interesting discussion about the impact of vocal compression. The midrange dynamics. Your vids deserve a whole forum for discussion! 👏🏾
Ive been binge watching a lot of production videos lately. To be honest yours was the most interesting and informative. Its like your giving production secretes to new producers. Thank you man, appreciated
Yo I loved this. I really dig you going back and really going into the history and context of how we got to this point. Keep this stuff coming
This just gave me the complete technical explanation for something I’ve been doing with a completely different plugin for YEARS. The Disco Smile has been a staple of my vocal sound this whole time and I never truly understood why it works so well or cared to, I just chalked it up to: “eh saturation”. Now that I know I feel like I can go so much more in depth with it in even more areas of my mixes. Thank you 🙏🏽
ayyyyyeee more visual examples than the EQ video, sweet man really helped with understanding it
Best production channel. You actually know what you're talking about and the reasons behind it. A breath of fresh air on UA-cam.
This video was magic. You've got an awesome way of explaining things in-depth yet simple enough to pick up on. It's like having a lot of steps, but each one is small.
You got a sub dude, looking forward to seeing what new topics you cover.
of all the thousands of production videos i've watched through the years, this might be the new topper. great work, you got a new sub

This is a top-tier video, I'm really glad I stumbled upon it. You're very competent at explaining and bringing in interesting background on top of the technical foundation that you're laying down. Please keep making videos :)
@@sseb_music come back please!
hey fellow matt
Great video - love how you're explaining not just processes, but how historically we've reached the conclusion as to why they work.
One would say he's making the topic thicc and juicy like the OTT.
OMG this was one of the best educational videos I've watched in a while! Keep up the good work bro!
Best, most complete discussion of OTT and multiband compression I’ve ever seen. Thanks for this.
Another golden vid. I still go back to the eq video to remind myself some parts. Thanks for your works!
Some topics from my engineering undergrad subjects like signal processing started to make sense by watching your videos. You truly are a "sound engineer" because you understand it on a scientific level. Thank for these videos! Hoping you make contents again soon.
I used to compose for theater but haven’t been doing much with music but I enjoy watching your videos because it takes me back to my university years when I studied music technology. All of which to say your standard of videos are as high as a university class on music production.
this channel has suddenly turned into one of my favorites. love how detailed and deep you go into topics on music! closest I can think of is dan’s channel
I love everything about your video style, the depth of your explainations is superb.
bro im so glad the algorithm recomended your channel. channels like yours who cut the shit are the best
Please never stop making this incredibly informative content! I’ve found nothing close to this channel in terms of edu quality
I ve been trying making music for few years and watching this i realized i was doing disco smile with the EQ not knowing about it. It just seemd better while i was playing music on my phone,speakers,TV etc. Great video man u got sub for the effort u put into this.This channel is trully something diffrent. I learned something finally.
Dude I just gotta say I love how much detail you go in to and how you actually teach why stuff does what it does, not just that it "just does"
Like genuinely your explanations are on the levels of my uni lecturers... you should definitely consider doing a little teaching at a high level in the future, youd be great
I like your script. It is educating, while being peppered with interesting facts. Keeps you invested better throughout the video.
And it gives context. Brilliant stuff
Your videos are the best. Thank you! I know it takes a lot of time and effort to make them.
i really hope this channel grows a lot. This info is so interesting, mate. Thanks for sharing this amazing wizardry
This video is great and teaches how to use OTT without learning the plugin but by understanding it, amazing content
Amazing content so far man, Im very grateful. Looking forward to future videos!
This channel is literal gold. Soo many good videos bro
love your videos btw. definitely the smartest most informative/in depth channel I've found
Your videos are so amazing, I keep coming back to refresh your lessons! I would love to see more videos from you
Fantastic videos man. Really great to hear someone explain this stuff in depth and elegantly (and quickly!). Well done!
Thank you, this got me to understand multiband compression as a whole much better. I understood what it did before but now I understand why I should use it.
Please keep posting!! This channel seems amazing.
For future video or A/B testing you can Key map all the OTT's to the the same key. Lets assign the "n" key for each OTT's and when you press "n" it' turns off all the OTT's at the same time with one press. Save time and useful for A/B testing. I use this A lot for A/B testing with multiple Mastering Racks
you could also just use an effects rack
@@cornocthey didnt just put ott on one sound though
@@azteriaaa fair enough, i must have missed that
Splendid work mate! Love how you explained and visualized it!
I just discovered this channel on my yt homepage and I felt like somebody read my mind when I browsed through abletons plug-ins… Your videos are so awesome, I love the mix between science, maths, music history and producing tips! Definitely unique!!!
SUPER informative, man! Gave me all kinds of things to think about with my mixes. Much appreciated!
Thank you again so much für this great explanation video and the history background. Love to see and hear more of you. 🌻
we are SO lucky. couldn't have said it better and I'm learning and appreciating more day by day.
Well done man. After watching dozens of OTT videos, this was the most helpful and by far the most interesting.
The best for me too. By a mile
And the most handsome ngl
You’re making me want to go back to school to study this stuff more in depth. This is amazing quality.
That was great man, really insightful. You’ve created a fresh take on teaching production while providing a great look into the past. Thanks! Subbed
Man, I will like every single of your videos -- just do more. This stuff is amazing
truly fascinating. concisely delivered, informative and fun. killin it
How nicely explained. Useful in many ways, thank you. Will check out more of your videos.
Good stuff and great channel idea man thank you. I (and I’m sure many others) can appreciate your in-depth knowledge on the topics on which you’ve spoken.
Keep them coming and I’m sure we’ll keep coming 🤜🏼💥🤛🏼
I did come here looking for an analysis on Ott. But I'm glad to have learnt about OTT. Thanks!
Dude this video is fantastic, great work!
Keep killing it homie wasn't overly interested in the topic just love your style knoedge is power 💪
You have instantly become my favorite channel.
Another solid super helpful video. Please keep them coming!
Man, this is only your 3rd video? Thoroughly well explained and technically accurate content. Good luck with your channel. Subbed!
Yoooo. Awesome video. Especially love the little history lessons!
I love your channel, distortion, eq and this video are so so good man, I’m waiting for more!
Incredible video! So well-explained, entertaining, and with a little history lesson too. Thanks!
Amazing cover of the topic! You are my new favourite UA-cam music mentor 💫
Thank you for always uploading amazing content for producers and great content for all of us out there
Those videos answer questions I have in mind for years 🙏🏻
This is the most useful explanation of this topic I have come across. Thank you so much!
this video is amazing. subscribed and will watch the rest in the coming weeks. thank you so much!!
Very insightful! Dig the super in-depth tutorials and haven't been educated like this on OTT before. The smiley face EQ is something I learned a long time ago when I learned about engineering. Don't see anyone talking about it, but I keep it in my pocket when I'm working.
Would love to see some videos on parallel compression, saturation, or low end mixing.
These videos are incredible. Big cheers!
Amazing video, your able to make contextual links to multiple unrelated areas within mixing in a way that brings them all together!
Thank you for explaining the why behind so much of these tools and the fundamentals of sound that are very overlooked
Loving your content so far my man, keep up the great work!
Thank you for the explanation! Really opened my eyes to a lot 😊
This is the quality content man! Keep it up. You will blow
one of the best new audio channels I've seen in recent time
I hiiiiit that subscribe button, thanks for teaching with actual visual references, i know its a lot of editing and I appreciate it sooooo much
This is very informative and deep, like the previous video. Thanks and keep it up!
Realy impressive, in my mind was said "oh another ytber music prod" but, the topics you touched here was very well explained. I have to say congrats man, you won an another subscriber.
Thank you, for explaining this so well. It help alot with my holistic understanding of music.
You deserve more subscribers. Really solid content. Thank you!
really good job, happy to see this new way to approach technical stuff , keep going ! :)
Very very well made and informative video! I loved the connection you made at the end to the dance music of the past. We are lucky indeed!
I love these videos that go into the details would love to see more in depth theory on effects plugins and mastering processes
First video of you I'm watching. Instantly subbing. Great video
Incredible video! Thanks for this!
Bro your bit at the end about how you don't want to just make this another production channel, mission has been accomplished for the videos I've watched so far! Your videos teach me a ton of new stuff as someone who has been an off and on hobby producer for most of my life having watched tons of videos on mixing and stuff.
I watched the full thing, great job!
So much knowledge in this, thank you
Great stuff, man. Subscribed during your saturation video and checked this one to make sure it was worth it - it was, lol.
You have great videos man. I hope you make more!
really good tips explained really well! thx!
Not only is this video amazing, that drop you made was NASTY man, keep this up, just subscribed!
Quality content in great style, keep it up!
I've had this plugin in my tool kit for years and never used it because I didn't know how to make it work for me. Thanks for this video, I'm now a sub. Cheers !
Bro this is such a good video. Well done
Thx. I didn't know there's such preset. I used to talk about it on the staff lines and mathematical models. This thing is much easier to say to other people than what I used to.
