just add unison to a saw wave, turn down the detune, and send a plucky envelope to the filter. done. (oh you'll need a lil delay and reverb) trust me that's it!

@@TraxtasyMediathere are a lot of artists like that, but deadmau5 is most famous out of them all... What I mean to say is, he's not showing how deadmau5 songs work... He's showing how classic EDM house music works :)
@TraxtasyMedia 17 күн бұрын
@@whitelikesnowfall kind of, but deadmau5 up to this day likes to implement an analog flavor to his tunes and the way these synths are build up is also the way deadmau5 makes his sounds most of the time. Name one artist that has the exact same synthsounds like deadmau5. I don't want to start an argument whether this reflects EDM or deadmau5 specifically but, this was the first thing popping into my mind and yes every artist uses synths like Serum. And I found no one to a certain extent that sounds like this.
@whitelikesnowfall 17 күн бұрын
@@TraxtasyMedia it's hard to find exact same sounds from other artists... Because everyone has their unique style... What I meant is that classic EDM house music uses a lot of these similar sounds and techniques and why not... They work well... Just like we see in this video, that song sounds really cool (to me)

Your skills combined with your passion make you one helluva good teacher Maestro. Your songs all do have a bit of an airy, melodic sound to them which is cool but not necessarily gonna get the dancefloor jumping at 3am. Would be interesting to see you create something a little dirtier. Some filthy techy Kyle Watson kinda style.

Who cares about the DAW? THE OUTCOME counts, DAWS are for creating music and sound but not what outcome is the result. The end-user is mostly not interested in what DAW someone used during production. The result counts.
