@R8Spike
@R8Spike Жыл бұрын
Lead is like the instrement that plays the main melody during the more harder sections, pluck semes to be a instrament that simulates a string instrament, and drone sounds like a synth that is just one tone(i.e a sine wave)

​@@OscarUnderdogI understand LFOs but I'm struggling with how an envelope modulates other parameters. For example, How does adsr modulate pitch?

@OscarUnderdog Ай бұрын
@@ELLIOT8209 It usually doesn't modulate pitch at all! The only exception to that would be in the case of synthesizing a kick, tom or snare drum, where it rapidly makes the pitch sweep from high to low to create a transient punch.

I've learned so much I am curious about your Techno Production Course - I just wonder if Ableton (or any other DAW) is a core part of this course or if I can follow with my DAWless gear (Sequencer, Synths etc.) and use the DAW only for things like arrangement, mixing, mastering?

Awesome clear teaching on the basics! What I am missing is the the coherence of the filter envelope (ADSR) and the amp envelope (ADSR). Doesn't the Roland Juno Synth have applied the same envelope to both, filter and amp (which made them simple and thus part of their success)?

Hey Oscar! Perhaps you or some of your other viewers can help me! What order do you recommend a beginner watches your videos in? I'm brand new to production and I've just watched the 'First Hour of Making Electronic Music' video which was incredibly helpful. I'd love to subscribe to your course but it's a bit pricey for the time being so I'm relying on your KZfaq videos. I'm just trying to understand simple structures and song progressions, so videos Like Hi Hat strategies (gears) and Syncopation are super helpful because they tell me where to place those notes. However, I've been jumping around - for example, I started with Dotted Bassline then half way through switched to the Moroder's Bassline video, then to Learn Any Synth, to Subtractive Synth, to finally this video. I feel like I should have done that in completely opposite order. Please help a newbie out :)
