Post-Dubstep Ideas & Experiments in Found Sound

[kbfxMUSIK]

Whats the name of the first Mount kimbie track you played?

[njoroge89]

amazing man you should be playing shows.keep up the good work and for covering Mount Kimbie.

[HarrydeVos]

ultra bissy, haha, nais one !

[415Dub]

Cheers! from the bay area. 

[tegamix]

Quality track here mate...keep it up!

[ajsoundproduction]

Very nice... sketches. I like that and agree. Check some of my sketches out on soundcloud search for mythological-breakbeat and aj-sound-production

[hotnovel]

these are some great sounds!!!! fucking love them!! can't you finish some tunes and put them out?

[MrABE1410]

6:20, you should make a video of that track, it sounds great!

[jozy21]

soundsLogical.. seriously.. I LOVE what you're doing. I JUST found this video, and I didn't know about freesounds at all. Thank you alot!

By the way, I made a track a couple of days ago, would be lovely to hear your thoughts :)

You can listen it if you go to Soundcloud and search for 'jonathan schultz'

Thanks! I subbed by the way ;)

[bleakey]

haha, at 3.15 caught a brief glimpse of a pack entitled "male peeing" when he was scrolling through freesound.. lovely stuff.

[jazzperbeats]

you were talking about the jazz chords, I think you should use 4 notes to give it a more jazzy feel to it. Really nice stuff though! The tip about sidechaining the reverb was very usefull never heard of someone doing it.

[dickdanger0us]

Nice tutorial... did you ever figure out how Mount Kimbie make their sweet sounding sine wave jazz chords things, not that your's aren't rad enough!

[Trollbilities]

Very enjoyable and partially educational video, good job.

[TheNedinator]

Honestly, i dont think ive ever heard a cowbell in a song before. But you know what youre doing forr damn sure. You get a sub(:

[TheiShadowKing]

I would so buy this song.

Release it, ANYWHERE! :P

[curzmg]

Thank you so much, I have been looking for something like free sound for ages, you have entirely just reinvigorated me and got me making some music!

[19191oooo19191]

thank you really much hard to find post dubstep tuts or experimental or simply inspiring stuff on the net. keep it up.subbd!

[qwertyalienqwerty]

Which Mount Kimbie EP would you say is the best? I already have their album.

[soundsLogical]

@qwertyalienqwerty Both Maybes and Sketch on Glass are great. I think I prefer "Sketch" though.

[qwertyalienqwerty]

@soundsLogical Thanks! Great idea using freesound to get samples btw. I've used it before but not in the same way.

[SamCropper]

Nice video man, like your music too.

[SamCropper]

Mount Kimbie are majestic.

[wr0ngchr1s]

awesome man

[TheMikertraceur]

Is that Tune Complete Already?

[NickB33]

Thanks for sharing man. You've got a subscriber in me.

That site looks like a goldmine and your tune is shaping up real nice.

[ldzbeatbangin]

I've been looking for this for quite a long time.

[SuperDFXX]

Insta-sub you are fucking awesome

[martinnesuno]

Sound great man! Thanks for introducig me to post-dubstep! Luv it!

[Thehat19]

Those two clips at 1:30 are really really good! Any chance you could put them up for download? I'll definitely pay good money for them!

[vanecf]

@Thehat19 Those two clips are from songs by Mount Kimbie, I suggest you check them out!

[LifevsMusic]

in my humble opinion you are better than mount kimbie... :P could you please make an ep or something? :D and try out to bitcrush these sine wave chords. just put the resolution to max and lower the downsampling rate. i think it sound awesome! :) but im quite sure it isnt what mount kimbie did. ^^

[jonfredric1]

dude quit sketchin and start makin some masterpieces, u got it

[gbr5581]

You are like...awesome

[joeryanisaocelot]

are you sure about your definition of creative commons? don't you remember crystal castles getting into trouble for sampling another artist who was releasing stuff on creative commons, in like 2007? (I could be mistaken, it may have been the case that they just didn't accredit the original artist)

[realcoolking95]

nice tutorial, and excellent beat. sounds very organic and abstract. do you have a soundcloud? Id love to here more music from you. =)

[robinheil]

This is great. I too have been listening a lot to this "post-dubstep" or whatever and it is just so great, I have to try making it myself!!

[Lorenzo763]

omg pleeez can i haz the mp3? tanx

[spiderscwein5]

1:30 <3

[lawatinio]

i love the syncopation that the samples create.. really nice beat.. you fnished it up yet?

[infinitesimotel]

Your track reminds me of aphex twin on less acid :P

[soundsLogical]

@infinitesimotel That's a BIG compliment to me. Thanks.

[timmah12345]

Something I've been really trying to create are the repitched vocal sounds found in a lot of the post-dubstep music. My favorite particular use of this is in the last part of "Blind Night Errand". Have you figured out any of that stuff out? I'm personally using Ableton, but a lot of this stuff seems to carry over fairly well since you're mostly just explaining ideas. Also, know where I can find the clicky percussion/ really dry/layered clap sounds? 

[danadmurphy]

This is great, some really useful stuff! Battlefield fan, eh? :P

[bodzhar]

very nice,

maybe you should start colouring your tracks,

i find it just makes the workspace nicer.

[Daveydamnit]

Thanks for all the great advice and resources! I also have a question...

I play in a band and have been experimenting with using logic 9 pro on my laptop in conjunction with a midi controller to get synth and electric piano sounds in a live environment. Do you have any recommendations for optimizing channel strip settings for use through a public address system or other external speaker source?

[mattrocks182]

hey i was your 3000th subscriber - keep going your videos are the best

[hestonsverige]

I would love to see a tutorial about resampling and stuff like that in logic! I haven't found any resampling tutorials yet

:(



[prodelectronica]

Great Tutorial! Maybe you should advise, that you have to mark “save Project with ultrabeatsamples” when saving the track? If not Ultrabeat will search for the samples next time. Well at least in Logic 8. Don´t know if they changed it in 9…

[soundsLogical]

@prodelectronica Very good point. This will also save your ass if you're going to work on the track on different computers.

[prodelectronica]

@soundsLogical The fact of “loosing” all samples in an Ultrabeatpatch drove me mad for a while ;-)

[julianh100]

important question. i have this whole song at 170 bpm that i have been working on and it has a lot of audio samples. is there a way that i can change the tempo to 172 with out destroying all of the work i have done. i don't want all of the audio to stretch out. it would be a HUGE pain to fix all of that work.

[jonfredric1]

i find the comments hilarious . "give em an inch, they'll take a mile" ..mostly dumb questions too. great video thx

[crypticlacuna]

hey sounds logical, I was wondering if you could do a video or tutorial about the style of remixing or other terms that Mt. Eden does, with the ambient background sounds and the fast drum beats over a slow sampling. Thanks

[karlosprabhu]

I've been playing around with the tuning preferences in Logic here and there lately, in there is a setting called hermode tuning, it's slightly different to equal temperament and makes those jazzy sorta chords sound real nice, I reckon those sinewave chords might sound interesting with it enabled...

[farbrorpuh]

Male peeing sound pack at 3:15, nice.

[soundsLogical]

@JustaMinuteJack Sorry, should have explained. FM8 is a synth plugin made by Native Instruments. It uses a type of synthesis called "Frequency Modulation" - it's by far and away the best synth for that technique. Google is your friend :()

[FoopDogg]

incredible

[DanielandHannah4ever]

Your videos are fantastic, keep posting! 

[Vodje01]

awesome video as always

[bidybo]

good

[NotoriousMLC]

CAN YOU PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON HOW YOU MASTER YOUR TRACKS AND MAKE THEM SOUND REALLY GOOD? PLEASE?! BIG FAN OF YOUR WORK!

[soundsLogical]

@NotoriousMLC Hmm, well... The way I make tracks sound good isn't by mastering them. It's in the making of the sounds (synthesis, samples etc), the mixing, and the arrangement. In fact, I rarely do more than a bit of compression as far as mastering goes. But since this is such a popular question, I will make a video on my thoughts about this. Prob next weekend.

[GROUCHDJ]

Brilliant tutorial, favourite one by you so far. Great job mate :)

[Bloodraid0]

reminds me alot of BT, sounds fucking awesome!

[nicoo300]

hey you must go outside and record your own Clicks ;-)

[soundsLogical]

@nicoo300 Yea, I need to get some good portable recording gear.

[TheDeliciousJohnny]

I am really happy you posted this video! I really learn a lot from all your videos because I am a logic user myself and you go over a lot of things that I have never seen. Thank you man, I know me and the community appreciate it.

[minimcnoon]

Nice to see a fellow freesounder..!

keep up the good work dude, really helpful tutorials you've got there...!

[ReefLoretto]

i love the track.

[LiamWalds]

wow that was gorgeous. maybe during the intro if you use a fast delay on that bell synth with some feedback to create a fluttery sound that might sound cool.

even though this wasn't strictly a tutorial it was still inspiring for me; i'd love to hear more of your work in vids like these

[Konnekta]

Very nice. I'm a big fan of Free Sound. Any chance you could do a video on the shuffly style drum programming on the Mount Kimbie track? Cheers

[DJPREUSS]

Really has a beautiful sound :) Great job ! and very creative ! :)

[geekotron]

Hey mate, that song is great! I was wondering if you tried to add some delay or reverb to some of the mechanical sounds to give your song an other dimension or to add a lil deepness. But if you are aiming for minimalism, you sir are spot on.

Thanks for your vid! Long live logic

[soundsLogical]

@geekotron Definitely! Kimbie do that well. I think I'll set up a bunch of different reverbs and delays on sends, then automate the sends to keep the sounds moving through different spaces.

[geekotron]

@soundsLogical Sweet! Do you already have a video showing how to automate the sends (or even to make sends)? It sounds pretty useful. Setting up those effects one by one on every track (especially with space designer) can be a lot of work sometimes. I'd love to see that!

Cheers!

[soundsLogical]

@geekotron Hmm, I don't, but I might do a vid on that tomorrow, it's a pretty useful technique. Saves you a lot of CPU power as well!

[DanielandHannah4ever]

@soundsLogical I would love to see a video on sends as well!

[Meyons1424]

@soundsLogical yes can u please do a vid on sends and stuff like that :)
