Hey man, I'm just now getting into Massive with a little bit of previous experience in synthesis and I have to say that this video took my knowledge and understanding far beyond what I was expecting. Your ideas are easy to understand and your delivery is easy to listen to. Very articulated with minimum "umms" and "uhhs". Thanks for making great content. Don't stop. It won't be long before your videos have thousands more views.
Thanks for giving a damn. I care about my viewers time and want to deliver something thats Actually worth watching.... not some unprepared crap or some dude just telling everyone what setting he's using... SeamlessR recently said to "make the tutorial you wish was out there," so that's sort of what I'm doing. I'm glad your among those who appreciate this. Here's to hoping I can make music that is also worth listening to.... 0_o
another tip: hold ctrl when assigning macros to assign it to multiple things without having to repeatedly select the same macro over and over again. also, I just realized you published this vid on my birthday LOL
Thanks so much for this video man. I've had massive for a little over a year now and I'm still learning things and the whole unison and wavetable positions tip to widen the synth made my day! I can't believe I never used that before. Thanks again!
Ive been doing audio for awhile now and this kinda thing has always scared me to learn but this was great. Thanks for putting the effort in, I definitely learned some things.
Thanks for making videos, I love making music, and I'm a beginner, I'm 17 years old living in Brazil and is really hard to find good music producing courses here, so when I find good teachers on youtube it's like ''thank god, lets learn all this shit'', keep on doing awesome stuff, thanks again
I only understood like 30% of what you did, but that's 30% more then I knew before I watched this video haha. I'm slowly trying to get into sounddesign since I finally understand how limited you are if you can only manage the cutoff etc :D
Great video, unlike most Massive tutorials on youtube, your videos actually seem to have previous thought put into it and organization. Subscribed! Can you make a video of tips for ambient synths? When I mean ambient, I mean AMBIENT. Synths where you can barely hear the notes, there's no attack or harshness to it. I find it quite hard to get those synths right, just sine waves, low attack speed and reverb don't do the job on their own.
+Gustavo Mazuroski Gonzalez the plugin ValhallaVintageVerb is really good for ambiance, most of the time I only have it at like 10% because it completely airs out the sound otherwise. You should definitely check it out!
Try bandpassing some soft wave form :) you want to skip the high frequencies because those are more percibable to human ears and as usual keep Lf department clean for kick and sub. Let te reverb do the spectrum filling ;)
Best videos ever... How did you make the random samples play as fast as they did in the previous video? I tried it with some vengeance bass-lead-synth samples but couldn't speed it up to your level.. Are the samples to long? Thank for everything so far - as I said :best videos ever :)
www.syntorial.com/ + meditating on the difference between a sin wave and square wave + hours and hours of patience (and practice making crap) + failed experimentation + watching others on youtube here's me doing a bunch of sound design if it helps:ua-cam.com/video/TazCovQrEg0/v-deo.html
i just got massive a week ago...the very first thing i hear from just about every single tut is "the most over looked option is the unisono in the voicing tab." lol
+grubbytron GOOD QUESTION! its less clicking to do random wavetable mod in the voicing then doing it on all active oscillators... as well you don't have to use up a mod slot on each oscillator when you add movement in the voicing tab.... lastly, when you do it this way, it moves ALL the wavetables in exact same way... if you do this sort of thing with manual assignment and you don't apply the exact same mod amount to all of them, the min/max values for each wavetable will be different (which might be cool... actually...) in summary, it's just quicker... and from a workflow perspective, once I get the oscillators working how I want, I tend to leave them alone. but you're not wrong; you could do the exact same thing on each oscillator. hope this helps! keep music making!
I had to listen to the remix first... Although is not perfect ( subjective opinion that there is too much going on), the sound design is superior- it's like listening to surround 5.1 or something...
Sometimes or more than sometimes when I Play 2 or 3 Oscillators with sounds like Chrome and dirty throat or something like that I Dont know what is it but the Wt - Position is changing every single time I Play The Sound.I Dont know if its the wt position but its just sounds weird every single time I Play it.
with those complex wavetables, it helps to use simple supporting oscillators... like a sin, saw or triangle... it takes a lot of monkeying with the WTs to get modern talking and chrome or scrapyard and dirty throat to sound good together... at least in my opinion... plus those wavetables make you sound like everyone else.
How does one learn how to use massive and serum all these videos are confusing and I don’t understand some terms they use like modulations and filters and voices and shit like what is all that? Ugh 😫
looped envelopes was a sick tip. nice 1 bro

AK I'll be sure to check your stuff out. I'll for sure be coming back for more tutorials.

I have been watching massive tutorials all day and this is definitely up in the top percentile of helpful videos. Great work dude
Great selection of tips thanks, AK.

Thanks A LOT for the tip 2, I was obsessed by this beautiful but *unstoppable* amp !
Ive been doing audio for awhile now and this kinda thing has always scared me to learn but this was great. Thanks for putting the effort in, I definitely learned some things.
Dope!
Great tutorial! Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for making this so simple, overwhelmed me at first!

Sweet! Keep watching and commenting!
Tell your friends
thanks for making videos like this... love it. please dont stop.
I shan't
sorry what? bro i couldnt get u..
I shall not [stop making tutorials]
Nice mate, love the lead.
this helped me so much!
thanks for this upload!!!
duuuude great videos! also, 1:40 sounds exactly like a Fever Ray track, awesome! have to give this a try myself =)
Great, this was very helpful, thnks! Can you turn down the background sounds a bit, becasue I can’t always hear what you’re saying?
consistently great videos!
Great tutorial . Thanks you a lot.
Just look at the like / dislike ratio. 95 to 0. Amazing tutorial. Thank you!!!
The Internet is usually a pretty cruel place too...
Finally got a dislike.
AK =( don't worry man, your fans love you!
Great tutorial !! Thank you
Realy good tips thanks.
Great video. Thanks!
this was a great vid. thanks
another great video, cheers
Thanks for the cool tips.
keep these coming

+Mark v. V. Yea dude. It's all about envelopes and lfos. Learn them first.
Watch it again; you'll get more out each time

Noted. I'm not sure id be good at making that.

Thanks, will do!
MusicEutopia Thanks, will do!

At 15:55 the sound becomes stunning! :) Also it seems that a sort of
short delay is engaged, but i can't recognize what you have done to
achieve it..
very useful, thanks
Legend! Cheers dude
Great tutorial learnt alot thanks :-)
Thank you!
great vid
This helped so much!!!
good tutorial
thx
5:47 - you killed me there. :D
Best videos ever... How did you make the random samples play as fast as they did in the previous video? I tried it with some vengeance bass-lead-synth samples but couldn't speed it up to your level.. Are the samples to long? Thank for everything so far - as I said :best videos ever :)
Use a small interval on your follow actions ... Like 0 0 1 or 0 0 2... Also make sure you're at a BPM greater than 100
Also make sure legato is turned on. The size of the samples don't matter, just the interval at which it fires the next clip
Great!
Thanks.
Congrats on 1k likes
You such nice man!
Cool
How did you learn to sound design??? Are there any books that you would recommend or anything that can help me understand synthesizing sound better??

here's me doing a bunch of sound design if it helps:ua-cam.com/video/TazCovQrEg0/v-deo.html
i just got massive a week ago...the very first thing i hear from just about every single tut is "the most over looked option is the unisono in the voicing tab." lol
thnx bro
yay
I have a question. At 10:48 where you modulate the WT position, what's the difference between doing it under voicing vs on the oscillator knobs?
+grubbytron GOOD QUESTION!
its less clicking to do random wavetable mod in the voicing then doing it on all active oscillators... as well you don't have to use up a mod slot on each oscillator when you add movement in the voicing tab.... lastly, when you do it this way, it moves ALL the wavetables in exact same way... if you do this sort of thing with manual assignment and you don't apply the exact same mod amount to all of them, the min/max values for each wavetable will be different (which might be cool... actually...)
in summary, it's just quicker... and from a workflow perspective, once I get the oscillators working how I want, I tend to leave them alone. but you're not wrong; you could do the exact same thing on each oscillator.
hope this helps! keep music making!
Thanks and btw you have the most perfected style of music production tutorials on UA-cam IMO.
keep watching :)
I had to listen to the remix first... Although is not perfect ( subjective opinion that there is too much going on), the sound design is superior- it's like listening to surround 5.1 or something...
+IK IK maximalism bro
thanks for the listen
I feel you. My pleasure- I learned a lot and refreshed a bunch, so thank You!
Thanks bruh Im a god now
what does bend '+/-' do?
It changes the shape of the Oscilator: m.ua-cam.com/video/yjLm9HttedA/v-deo.html
Sometimes or more than sometimes when I Play 2 or 3 Oscillators with sounds like Chrome and dirty throat or something like that I Dont know what is it but the Wt - Position is changing every single time I Play The Sound.I Dont know if its the wt position but its just sounds weird every single time I Play it.
with those complex wavetables, it helps to use simple supporting oscillators... like a sin, saw or triangle...
it takes a lot of monkeying with the WTs to get modern talking and chrome or scrapyard and dirty throat to sound good together... at least in my opinion... plus those wavetables make you sound like everyone else.
So I will have to use other Plugins and stuff to make it sound better?
if that's your takeaway from what i said than you completely missed the point.
AK got a chuckle from this :-)
Lol cause I really don't know what to do about this.
#FOREVER 3:43
i should have watched this like 5 years ago
+ojamamask but you still found it
That drum beat is familiar....
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN
what about gentledogs? Thats RACIST.
+Purna Blooper how do you mean?
ASDR? It's ADSR dangit. But nice vid
Also true.
PLEASE, 2 more likes.
ALSO, great tutorial.
How does one learn how to use massive and serum all these videos are confusing and I don’t understand some terms they use like modulations and filters and voices and shit like what is all that? Ugh 😫
+Dracorex www.edmprod.com/glossary/
AK thank you so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 how did you learn how to use massive? Is there any videos you watched or anything that got you going?
+Dracorex it’s not what you want to hear... I read the manual!
AK hahaha damn well I might look into it then thank you so much 🙏🏻
This video is horrible, it didn't show me how to subscribe twice, when I was already subscribed...
+syfenx i do not understand what you mean. None of my content is subscription gated.
Bad joke meaning if I could subscribe twice, I would.
