@Nova_Afterglow2 жыл бұрын
I came here to say this. The constant keyboard clicks made it hard to really focus on the pure kick sound. I made it about 8 min in before i gave up. I feel next time if you do this for claps or snares try and not record the audio of the keyboard and just dub in a voice over later.

I like this analogy. To take the next step, although there are entire galaxies of texture, flavour, and quality available in retail wine, brewing one's own has benefits not otherwise available. Love to patch different percussion from scratch. I appreciate learning the tasting terminology. Very helpful, even as a diy brewer / eurocrack addict. My favorite software drum is Trummor2 by Vult in vcv rack. So many sound sculpting parameters, and it spits out a copy of the amplitude envelope, which is very handy for ducking.

Oscar, LOVE your vids. You always inspire and encourage me to learn more w/ EM production! I really appreciated this video. However, I have a sprinkle of constructive criticism for you: ESP with this vid where u are tasting the kicks and replaying them in fast successions, could you find a way to mute or dim the sound of your keyboard clicks? The vid is still successful, but I found that the clicks slightly took me away from fully experiencing kicks. Esp w/ the kicks that have rumbles and tails that have mid-high(er) textures and frequencies. Sounds SUPER nitpicks, I’m so sorry; but hey, sound is the bread n butter of music production. 🤓 Thank you Oscar, for your extremely valuable vids, keep at it💯

Great video. I've been asking Ableton Live developers for years now to have the Library indexer index the long string in the "Info Text" panel - so that, imagine you typed out your description of each of these samples in their info panel - live would index it, and then searching those words would return the item you're describing. Instead, they created 7 coloured categories and called it a day. FML. 😩 The custom Info Text is accessed via right-clicking a sample/VST within your session. The info text also seems to "stick" to the sample if you place it into your User Library then re-use it.

I do remember times when swapping KICK samples on AKAI MPC 3000:) over and over and couldn;t decide which one to take... now I got Roland TR8 and I get the kick I want in a second...it's simply choice between 808/909/707/606 and 808 and 909 variations - plus decay and tune and attack knob - it saves me hell of the time when choosing right kick for the job, important fact is house/techno edm, dance music - kick is 99% 4 to 4, so not much combination with groove, but to choose a good kick for the job is important thing. Great video by Oscar as always!

I couldn’t wrap my head around that though, as being more of techno head I’ve always considered those rumbly banging 909 type kicks to be “heavier”, most of the big room kicks sounded too ‘squelchy’ to me and not heavy at all. Made for an interesting convo nonetheless.

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 :) P.S I've commented this on your other posts, I don't mean to spam you, I'm just hoping some views would chime in.
