when the bass is in fact colorful

This thumbnail is excellence 👍

This dude is in complete command of his instrument. An incredible sound designer and a gifted composer. Incredibly talented.

AU5 has the beard, has the hair, creates magic out of thin air... In another world this man would be rockin' a staff and cloak.

The thumbnail… the intro… the info… the enormous free sample pack… this is just perfect :) You are the hero we need, but the hero we don’t deserve, Mr. 5.

another colorization method i like to use is using soothe2 with the sidechain input as a chord, then with sharpness all the way up and on delta, kinda similar effect to the match eq ones but more convenient since it just runs in realtime without having to record the audio first!

This is genuinely one of the best "here's how to do this" videos for intermediates and experts that I've ever seen. It's sooo hard to find good tutorials for people who aren't beginners, but you just showed us the plugins, explained briefly what they do, played through a bunch of examples, and gave us a ton of quick ways of doing it for people who know what they're doing but just haven't found the answer yet. I'll be experimenting with these techniques soon. Thank you!

T'noight on the Au5 show: we will learn how to colour bass innit

8:36 is the most amazing sound I've ever heard

Your tutorials are always so helpful. Love what you do Austin

This is the only tutorial I've found on KZfaq that doesn't only show how great these sounds are, but also explains _how_ they sound that way. Thank you so much for the tutorial. Dubstep, riddim, etc. really do require a good understanding of sound design

That white noise trick for match EQ is super helpful thanks for sharing these techniques!

AU5TIN! I keep coming back to this video man, I love watching your tutorials. I have come to love the Melda plugins! Love you work brother!

I've been getting into the world of color bass since 2021 and those tips truly extend the knowledge of adding colors to any sounds!

I never stop being amazed at how much u do for the dubstep community. You da man Austin Au5!

so freaking dope thanks for this and all the amazing tuts!

So much useful info and so detailed explanation! Thank you for this video!

The way you synthesize your tracks is magical. I used to listen to you on monstercat 10 years ago since i was a kid, and the incredible way you create your sound is almost like an unmistakeable signature. Anytime im blindly listening to mixes and one of your tracks comes up i can instantly recognize that you made it despite hearing it for the first time. All the best man, honestly, your songs are jewels decorating everyone's playlists.

such a great teacher - thank you Au5!

With the Vocodex method you can also right click on the graph to enable the hold option and also put on the snap function to snap to any select key so it somewhat acts like the FFT tuners in the sense it will be filtering out the sounds to the graph, which if done according to a scale or what not, will be colorized just like that. Just make sure the amount of bands selected is 96, which is pretty much amount 8 octaves of the entire keyboard. Its pretty dope and can just be layered on anything really.

I've always loved and admired your music Au5. But hearing you articulate the technicalities of what exactly is going on with the sound design let's me know you're a genius. 👏

This is gonna be an insane video I can already tell

everything is so professional, how amazing

really dope video that actually show exacly what we need

This is the best Color Bass tut I've seen. Super helpful.

this is on another level... very very thankful for this. trying to learn sound design now and you have so much good stuff, I also bought the course!!

Was great to see more techniques for the process! Personally, I use mainly the convolver method and love the results 😊

Absolutely amazing producer. Thank you for this.

Thank you for another inspiration and sounds shock... you're my hero

Absolute awesomeness

Very cool ideas, reminds me of the time I put drum loops through Razor's vocoder once and played chords through it, sounded great.

amazing vid thanks for the insight man!

I’m so glad to find you on here. Heard a remix from you and Fractal back in Baltimore and always wondered how you achieved these sounds.

This video is just a pure gold.

Such a beautiful tutorial about colorbass till date..... Love from India

Sick video dude, thank you!!

this is the best sound design video i have ever seen

Bass music or otherwise, one of the biggest challenges is making patches for chord sounds that are far from just being stacks of the same timbre at different intervals, ''coloring'' is a genius concept. I've done some cool stuff with Harmor too, it has a prism that let's you displace harmonics with key-track, great for the resynthesis/wavetable kinda stuff it can do too. Try this: Side A = square, Side B = every other harmonic to make a saw together, shift the harmonics that imply major down a semitone (Sines for reference), put vibrato on side B. You get a gritty, full yet clean pseudo-distorted minor sound, it's super cool. Splitting the harmonics of a saw and affecting them separately is awesome in general!

really sick tutorial! defo gonna have to try lots of these methods for sure! also there is a max for live plugin called bcresoncrtl that lets you have midi control over the ableton resonator! saves quite a lot of time from doing automations haha

Полезно, любю цветной басс, обволакивает, даёт атмосферу присутствия

thats the thing w synthesis, you can get slightly different results w differt forms of it, its all about details and decision ibguess 🤩🔥

It's amazing that you aren't gate keeping these techniques that can take producers to another level. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart 🙏

Thank you for the delicious information.... love you . !

Imo Au5's tutorials is the best tutorials ever

So freaking cool and smart man

Great summary!

Thank you a u 5 love your tutorials

Thumbnail is perfection

Thanks...very helpful!

Solid techniques 👍

Absolutely banger tutorial! Even tho I've never been into music production, I still like watching your breakdowns and tutorials, mostly because of INSANE quality and your devotion to your workflow. Just a suggestion - could u make a breakdown of your collaboration with Nasty Purple & Kenny Raye - The Encryption??? I just love this track, would love to see a video about it! (especially considering you remade the whole track only around Nasty Purple's vocals it will be extra interesting!! )

you're just too good 🔥🔥🔥

You were my intro into dubstep back in the day. Congrats on your success!

The intro is killer!

Vocodex for the win! That was so good.

Awesome. Ty❤

I can't believe you exist lol like I listened to your music years ago (and every now and then) but never imagined your face. Great video too!

If you are watching this you might like DENNET !!! Super solid perspective on making color bass also in tandem with this tutorial!

Great tutorial!

This is the kind of sound design I have been looking to play with , just never knew how to go about it

You're a fucking wizard and I love you. Blows my mind every time I see these kinds of videos from you.

This is gonna be an awesome school trip! Big thanks, Big love AU5!🌈 psychedelics on standby...

Amazing content here! One of my friends who's a DJ a little while back met Au5 and was sending me snapchats and everything. He attests that Austin is a chill ass mofo

Au5 here again to blow my mind

fire

OH SHIT ITS YOU! ive been listening (and others from our time) for a long ass time i thought you fell off, good to see you, be safe broski

great, now you inspired to open my daw right now

Your track Cryptochrome is pretty insane by the way !

maaan i fell in love with that growl

cool!

Rezonator and retune are probably my favorites to use out of all of them. This is an amazing tutorial on Colour bass!!! This genre is really fun to explore and sparks all kinds of creativity!

Especially interesting is how FFT Blending, Convolution, and EQ Mapping methods are all essentially the same thing mechanically, just achieved from wildly different angles.

EQ match is inspiring 🎉

Genius!

I literally never comment on videos but you in the same tier as Van Gogh. You are on an entirely different level and it's so freaking COOL, thank you for all you do for the good of music as a whole!

Beast mode

this stuff inspires me to make more music

Lovely

Love this tutorial! My question is… How do I get vocodex as a standalone vst as you do here? Been trying fl studio vsti but that’s not the same

niceee

Wtf love you Austin xx Bless 🙌🏿

For Ableton user, if you want a free resonator more complex than stock Ableton one and with midi input, I made a m4l device called resonathor (still in beta) Thank you for video, really nice to hear A/B of plugins !

Great Video!

Vocodex is so cleeean

Ozone прям как filter работает, круто)

What’s the spectral analysis tool you’re using called? Looks dope!

The title does not do the content justice. This is SO much more.

Man your intro is soooo tight

For colo(u)ring, I use mostly the chord mode in "Flair" by Native Instruments or Zynaptiq MORPH

What is that spectrograph that you have in the bottom left corner? Thats convenient as hell!

all great tech, they have their own flavours, some more desirable, fft vocodex and tuners are my favs ;)

dude the ozone match EQ thing makes so much more sense to imprint it on a flat white noise signal before transferring to another sound holy shit

This is sick bro ty! What kind of spectrum analyzer is that btw?

Great video! I was wondering what the cheapest option would be for achieving the best (decent) results in adding color. Each one of those seems pretty expensive to me :(

8:51 bcReson is a great external m4l device to input midi to stock resonator if you can't purchase rezonator and need a hacky solution!

Color da bass!

Au5 is to be studied. Like taking a degree in womp dynamics.😂 a treasure of sound design.

This is so sick! Does anyone know how to set up a similar Reaktor Prism FX but in Logic Pro?

Beautiful, I miss vocodex, how did you get it as a standalone in ableton?
