The future plan

Hello guy! The remaking of this IGOR album is done, and I'll be adding some additional information to these videos next and maybe making some "what I learn from" type videos.

Then I'll redo those projects I made before (Flower Boy/Channel Orange) with pigments and OP-XA. Making a more consistent and polished version, as well as videos containing the making process.

For the new goals, here are three albums that I would like to do:

Kanye west - ye

About IGOR

Taylor's IGOR is an album full of synth, rich sound content. It also has a very varied arrangement format. So If you're looking for a full project to improve your production and sound design, IGOR is the best choice. And in the mixing, it's not super clean commercial trap mixing; it's very characterful and has a DIY aesthetic to it, which means that you can be very flexible to make your own version, make a few changes, add new content, and so on. I highly recommend that you remake this album ...

Remaking from scratch ㅣIGORㅣ08.PUPPET

3:01 808    
The first sound that came to the puppy was an 808 bass, and it stands out with a punchy, hard head. also give a compact low-end when playing a long note. So I started with three different octaves of sine waves. set the filter cutoff to 124 Hz, reso to 0.268, and KBD to 0.5. For that punchy head, I modulated COARSE with a short decay envelope. it gave a short kick effect in the sound's head intentionally, and I modulated the cutoff with a medium decay envelope on...

Remaking from scratch ㅣIGORㅣ06.NEW MAGIC WAND

3:15 - sample
The drum sample comes from Bruchotin Automatic Band's Adam's Apple. It took 0.22.82~0.34.94 parts to chop and rearrange the diffevent pattern. So I use Slicex here, or you can use any sampler like Serato for more efficiency. And I add 5 db in the hign end to make the percussion sound clear, and 5 db gain in 56 Hz to boost the kick. and -4 and -5.5 db gain around 400 hz and 1800 hz to stand out in a 900 hz round.

3:32 Distortion Bass
The bass in the song has a heavily distorted but warm body; it has a strong graininess. The bass instrument I use here is the flatwood bass from OrangeSample. For the distortion. I tried to recreate it from Saturn 2 first, and I couldn’t quite get it to sound right, but luckily I found this Boogex from Voxengo. This is a free guitar amplifier plug-in with a variety of sound shaping features. It is easy to get a heavy, distorted sound as well as a slight "jazzy" satur...

Remaking from scratch ㅣIGORㅣ04.BOYFRIEND

4:35  - Organ
The first sound that came in with the piano was an organ. It sounds like a low-stopped pipe organ, with some vibrado and low notes. So I start with a two square wave. Set Osc 1 to 16'. And lower the FreqCutoff to 580 Hz and the MOD to 0. I don't need any dynamic or change here, so the envelope is simple: no attack, no decay, all sustain. I use the Modulations mode here to control the change of volume, and that's more flexible. And set the LFO to 6.3 Hz and MOD Depth 2 t...

Remaking from scratch ㅣIGORㅣ03.I THINK

3:35 - Sample
The drum beat was sampled from Nkono Teles's Get Down (0:01:88 ~ 0:03:88). You need to chop the 0:03:27 part and put it in front to loop the sample. and make sure it fills a bar at 121 BPM. Then Giving some energy around 145 Hz and a -5.5 db gain around 2100 Hz to weaken the crunchy sound we don‘t need.



4:53 - Wah Bass
The verse starts with this funky wah-like bass sound. It brings in some disco vibes instantly. For this sound, I opened the O...

Remaking from scratch ㅣIGORㅣ02.EARFQUAKE

3:13 - Synth Choir

I’ll start with the vocal pad in the song EARFQUAKE.

The elements of this sound are vowel shape by filter, a subtle vibrato and long attack applied to both the pitch and the amplifier. You need a synthesizer with a formant filter, which shapes the sound in a similar way to how the vocal tract works, leading to vowel-esque sounds.

So I start with the basic lead sound of the sine and triangle waves. and set the FM to 0.017 to get extra frequency. Bring s...

Remaking from scratch ㅣIGORㅣ01.IGOR THEME

03:27 — synth bass

The first sound that comes out of IGOR is a raw, fuzzy synth bass; it sets the tone for the rest of the album.
For this sound,  you could see it fills the spectrum if you put it in an EQ plugin. So I would like to use a saw to make it. And I took two saws and set the first one to -12 semitones. Fill the frequency from low to high. And give the second one some unison effect, which will multiply the number of original voices, effectively making the sound muc...

"Blonde" — 02.Ivy Tutorial


(The instrumental of this song contains only guitar and bass, so there is no point in remaking it in the DAW)


The main texture of this psychedelic indie rock song comes from its guitar tone, which you can hear has a high density feel, chorus effect, and some overdrive.

my guitar is cheap, so I just tried to make a similar feeling instead of trying to remake it in a high degree. But the approach is probably similar.

Here's how I achieved the sound.
