Production Tutorial: How we use samplers & effects
Added 2020-07-01 09:48:46 +0000 UTCHere's our first monthly production tutorial video. This one focuses on samplers, and how we use Ableton's Simpler to modulate bass sounds.
If you have any suggestions for topics you'd like us to cover in future videos, or any feedback, let us know :)

I was messing around with the techniques from this tutorial today and decided to put a very airy melodic pad as the top layer and it sounded amazing 🔥🔥🔥.

2024-04-23 14:19:18 +0000 UTCSame here, I think the init patch for some reason is saved to have a bunch of things changed. Just double click on everything so that it gets resetted. You'll see that you'll eventually get the same sound, but it might take some time to find all of the parameters that need changing.

2024-04-16 07:43:49 +0000 UTCAbleton changed the default operator preset from the time this was made. I had this same problem in the school of bass with AU5, so I made the old one if you need it. And also just make sure your doing additive synthesis (squares horizontal) for this video, not fm.
Ian Enkema
2024-04-03 14:35:53 +0000 UTCIt just depends on your Operator settings. If you can post screenshots of your Operator settings in Discord, we can diagnose what parameters to adjust.

2024-02-10 16:03:30 +0000 UTCis there anyone knowing that why saw sounds different? My operator sounds different when I play basic saw waves...

2023-11-14 11:01:25 +0000 UTCi'm two tutorials in and this is already the best content i've seen for music production on patreon. These techniques give us the tools to get creative and most importantly, have fun :)

2022-03-26 15:29:30 +0000 UTCI'm late to the Patreon train and 1/4 of this video alone was worth it 10 fold. Thanks so much.

2022-01-23 08:43:36 +0000 UTCI am doing this tutorial on FL studio and the explanation is so well done that I could follow the turotial even tho I dont have any of those plugins. Very good video! Having to work my way around FL to do the same thing you were doing really helped me understand more the functionalities of my DAW. I would recommend this tutorial even if you are using FL Cubase or Bitwig or what not, if you understand the chain of effects he explains I can assure you you can recreate it in any DAW. Again very well made tutorial, Thank you Koan Sound!

2022-01-14 20:23:16 +0000 UTCClassically trained boi here. Really appreciate the work you do here and your music. I wanted to get more into music production and getting to better understand the process, sound design and how it all comes together to form a coherent mix. Not disappointed with this at all. I really wanted to create sounds like these, since I was introduced to you guys, and was wondering how it was achieved. Gonna have some crazy fun experimenting with this. Thank you so much!

2021-06-16 03:43:25 +0000 UTCJust joined and working my way through...definitely not disappointed.
Peter Vogl
2021-05-16 01:45:55 +0000 UTCvery sick. thanks for the awesome tutorial
wt af
2021-03-20 13:06:27 +0000 UTCYes this is awesome! Really like the use of glide, I used to use pitch bend in the clip view it doesn’t half as clean as this.
Blu Posner
2021-03-18 22:45:36 +0000 UTCSo inspiring thank you!
Aeon Drone
2021-03-16 02:41:00 +0000 UTCThis is amazing, thank you so much for being so giving, seeing your process is incredibly inspiring !
FBWOT
2021-02-06 21:11:07 +0000 UTCDo you have a separate track for your sub bass when finalizing a song? if not, how do you control the phasing introduced from the second detuned layer? or how do you control the sub from track to track
Christopher Matthews
2020-12-08 17:36:38 +0000 UTCthis is incredible. Thank you so much
seshin
2020-11-13 07:53:46 +0000 UTCWow, this is on a whole nother level... Love it!
GRIMAGE
2020-09-15 22:36:09 +0000 UTCnice one ! :)
Screamarts
2020-08-11 23:09:40 +0000 UTCI love this !. Hands down the best tutorial in Ableton i have seen yet.
Eystein Askevold
2020-07-31 13:35:52 +0000 UTCcrazyyyyy!
Francis Ciroi
2020-07-22 21:49:44 +0000 UTCI can't thank you enough, I'd been trying to figure out how to do it from your reddit AMA post, but this explains it so much better. The track I'm working on has been transformed by the new bass using this tutorial.
Ryota Lore
2020-07-12 23:03:23 +0000 UTCIf there are any Reason users in here I have created a Combinator patch based on the principals in this video that you can ReSample straight in to. Hit me up on Discord @TepidMilk if you would like the patch! Peace!
Tom W
2020-07-12 12:47:13 +0000 UTCThis was really interesting! Took some good notes. I would be curious to see a vid about work flow. Sometimes I drive myself nuts with a project because I hear it too much. It also takes me a really long time to feel finished with a song.
Austin Moore
2020-07-11 22:51:29 +0000 UTCI would also see something about the Mix. Your music has a lot of sounds but still every sound sounds very clear in the mix. Would love to see some insight.
Timon Wawreczko
2020-07-11 08:08:05 +0000 UTCThis is amazing!!! Super insightful. I’d love to see a project breakdown! Or would love to hear about your mix down and/or creative process.
Akuro (James)
2020-07-10 22:22:45 +0000 UTCthat was awesome! I reckon a video on the way you guys layer your foley on top of these basses/your drums would be a great follow up vid
Ewan J Colvin
2020-07-10 12:37:35 +0000 UTCWould deffo love for you to explain the kick and sub being one whole part thing too. Haven’t quite wrapped my head around that
Luke Perry
2020-07-09 08:17:32 +0000 UTCHow to approach processing sides in a creative way (basses , drums) I feel a well explained video would clear up a lot of fuzz. Also would love to know how you approach using foley in your tunes ? :) appreciate what your doing guys. Legends !!!
Luke Perry
2020-07-09 08:14:47 +0000 UTCdude, yes. i love Beyond The Shadows!!
Austin Moore
2020-07-09 04:20:36 +0000 UTCLegend. Didn't quite catch what you meant by splitting the frequency bands from your reddit AMA. I Made a rack with a Fabfilter Brickwall EQ' slicing it up into 3 segments with macros but this makes a lot more sense.
Kevin C. Holmes
2020-07-08 22:09:43 +0000 UTCY'all are god tier for sharing your experience, thanks much.

2020-07-08 21:36:49 +0000 UTCWell this just changed my world! Nice!
Stewart Whitworth
2020-07-08 13:11:00 +0000 UTCExcellence
Ian Valentine
2020-07-08 06:56:18 +0000 UTCAbsolutely amazing! In the future I'd love to see how you made the drums in starlite - are they purely recorded in or are they using VST's/samples you find etc. How to get that real organic yet perfect feel on them! Would also LOVE to see a track breakdown of beyond the shadows, how you made those really nice low warp basses and all the little snippets of interesting sound!
Dan Wright
2020-07-08 02:45:00 +0000 UTCThis is amazing, cant wait for more!
Alex Marais
2020-07-07 21:17:06 +0000 UTCThank you so much for this. this is worth the 10USD alone. i switched to ableton a while back and i see this. OFC i will become a patreon member !!.

Guiliem Sibelium
2020-07-06 19:43:09 +0000 UTCDo you guys use chorus? I know it fucks up the stereo image but would be very interesting to know!
Johann Koehnen
2020-07-06 14:41:08 +0000 UTC@Gypsyndicate haha yes definitely heavy inspiration! I even teach Sound Design and got hella new ideas from this
Johann Koehnen
2020-07-06 14:37:24 +0000 UTCGeniuses! Thanks so much
Kai
2020-07-05 23:52:05 +0000 UTCThink I learned more in this video than the previous year of sound design.

STEALTH_DUBZ
2020-07-04 20:37:30 +0000 UTCVery Nice. Now please someone translate this into FL Studio or PhasePlant. Please.
Timon Wawreczko
2020-07-04 16:20:36 +0000 UTCi learned so much
Dawncall
2020-07-04 14:51:41 +0000 UTCNice one! Clear and succinct and super easy to follow. 99.9% of youtube videos exploring sound design need to be deleted now you guys are on this. They're always filled with so much waffle. Love how simple you just made that! Top work.
Dan smith
2020-07-04 14:09:50 +0000 UTCwow

2020-07-04 08:57:14 +0000 UTCjeez that turned out really tight
Nathaniel Parrott
2020-07-04 08:20:23 +0000 UTCDope tut guys. Stoked to be here.
Stickybuds
2020-07-04 07:52:46 +0000 UTCGreat job! So many tutorials show a 'how to create this sound', but without explaining the how or why certain parameters are modulated in certain ways - this helped me learn, rather than just showed me how to do one specific thing. So cool how this was done with all stock plugins (apart from the reverb).
Ian Vernon
2020-07-04 02:13:43 +0000 UTCholy shit that vocoder trick is amazing
ryan
2020-07-04 00:50:39 +0000 UTCLETS FUCKING GOOOOO

Nisha
2020-07-03 18:32:56 +0000 UTCalso i am really curious about your guys foley design. hwo your process it and maybe even how to record nice foley.
Kilian Kofler
2020-07-03 18:24:58 +0000 UTCthis was nuts, i'm definitely going to implement these ideas in my future sound design
AsteraEDM

2020-07-03 16:02:43 +0000 UTCThis was fantastic!
joe riley
2020-07-03 13:35:32 +0000 UTCThanks for the insightful tutorial! Topics I'd love to see: Drum/mixbus compression, foley layering, EQing/mixing sounds, reverb philosophy, stereo imaging tricks, outboard gear/recording practices, chord progressions/voicings, arrangement philosphy
Volatide
2020-07-03 09:31:19 +0000 UTCi would love to hear you talk about workflow.
Kilian Kofler
2020-07-03 08:54:19 +0000 UTCA mixing tutorial would be amazing!

Aznadel
2020-07-02 19:46:59 +0000 UTCBeautiful! Do you also ever use Logic? I would love a video on it if you do. Otherwise I'm gonna have to branch out to Ableton, because this would open so many doors. Thank you!
Bart van den Broek
2020-07-02 19:12:25 +0000 UTCVery interesting, what a creative way to play around with just a simple bass sample! As a suggestion I'd love to see a in depth video of the way you guys approach beatmaking, the processing, everything you wish the share with us. (example: "Viridian Dream & Chilli Daddy") <3
Isaac Liekens
2020-07-02 17:04:32 +0000 UTCLove the quality of the tutorial! Very easy to follow along and appreciate the extra effort❤️

2020-07-02 15:10:05 +0000 UTCExtremely informative! I obviously don't doubt your capabilities as producers, but happy to say you're equally as proficient in the making Production Tutorials as you are at making music. Can't wait for more!

Slade McBride
2020-07-01 21:13:58 +0000 UTCAwesome video, I like that you only used ableton stock plugins (except for the reverb) to get this sound.
James Smith
2020-07-01 17:16:27 +0000 UTCThanks for sharing guys! wanted to see your process for a while now
