How to make a distorted french electro synth

[mezooo2020]

4:03 Damn! that was good :)

[IpadCover]

did you finnish this track????? pls answer me :P

[AlGrudniewski]

still doesn't sound like SebastiAn ;)

[TheHevquip]

@AlGrudniewski the secret is lots and lots of resampling and sidechaining with compressed to shit drums

[AlGrudniewski]

@TheHevquip This is not a secret, but this synth doesn't sound like SebastiAn as I said before

[TheHevquip]

@AlGrudniewski You're listening the notes more than the sound itself? If you sampled it to play with pitch and timestretching and chopped it up, it would be pretty close. More sampling, less synthesis. One of the guys in MSTRKRFT talked to sebastiAn about his methods and saw how he makes a track and said "it's lots and lots or resampling". I get my sebastiAnesque sounds by layering and sidechaining them, sampling, fucking with the sample, then adding more layers and sidechaining.

[AlGrudniewski]

@TheHevquip interesting, could you show this mstrkft interview? any link or etc. I'm looking for sebastian sound so long, now i'm really close but i'm not satisfacted yet

[TheHevquip]

@AlGrudniewski I remember trolling through the MSTRKRFT forums (mstrkrft . conforums . com) until I eventually found it a couple of pages in. I typically sync a beat and bassline (with distortion) together and sidechain. Then I sample that and add more kicks and snares for more sidechain while adding more bass and sounds, then I might sample ALL of that again and add more layers. Once I started resampling, layering, and sidechaining more, I started to get that "sebastiAn" sound.

[AlGrudniewski]

@TheHevquip i'm not a noob man, i was meaning a special sound of his bassline, not sidechaining etc. But i found the way to do nice sebastianish distortion

[TheHevquip]

@AlGrudniewski I know what you mean, I'm not a noob either and it's still tough to figure out the distortion and EQing it. I've got various distortion and overdrive pedals for that sake. I get my best sebastiAn bass sounds (before I do the sample and sidechain thing) by plugging a distortion pedal into one of my old analog synths and pulling up an older sounding 80's pizzicato or plucked bass, as MSTRKFRT, sebastiAn, Daft Punk, etc sample a lot of old synths run through pedals.

[TheHevquip]

@AlGrudniewski Like I programmed a patch on my old Korg DW-8000 synth that when run through one of my distortion pedals, sounds just like the bass in sebastiAn's "Walkman" track, so sometimes it's not as complicated as I think :/ My whole point with the sidechaining and sampling was not that it's necessary, but that sometimes things like that are required to get a certain sound or dynamic out of a bassline.

[TheAPC91]

@AlGrudniewski Check out my video "Ed Banger Style in Ableton 8". It doesent helps for the bass, but it shows the chopping pretty good.

[AlGrudniewski]

@TheAPC91 I've seen it long time ago, yes it's good, but i know this technique very well. I'm talking this once again I have said only, in this tutorial the saw(sound), and distortion doesn't sound like SebastiAn. So, stop answering with your tutorials, cause i will not watch the next ones cause it doesn't interest me.

Peace

[TheAPC91]

@AlGrudniewski Maybe your lack of skill is the reason why your not satisfied? If you knew your shit, then you probably wouldnt spend hours watching and discussing youtube tutorials. So next time, you decide to be a dick, think before you speak!

But hey! I wont be an ass so heres a little tip: Guitar Rig.

PEACE BITCH!

[AlGrudniewski]

@TheAPC91 actually, I watched this for searching new ideas and solutions. Not more. I've written a few posts ago I found exactly the same distortion. Also, I want to add you have watched it too ;)

[TheAPC91]

@TheHevquip Im sorry for being so awesomly honest with you, but theres not one track on your channel that sounds close to sebastiAn. Oh and resampling is something completely different as what you mentioned. Resampling (Bouncing) means to reload a file that has been edited before by programs like "LiveCut" for example. Non Desctructive and Descructive editing. Think about that.

[TheHevquip]

@TheAPC91 Maybe it's because I don't have any of that music up, it's all going towards an album I'm working on. I didn't describe bouncing, I make something out of samples, sample that, chop it, add more samples, sample it, chop it. That is taking files that I edited before and editing them more. Sounds like your idea of "resampling" comes from whatever program you use. I don't use software, so all your points on Destructive and Non-Destructive editing is completely irrelevant to me.

[djBagElbiTe]

super helpful! But can you show how you made your compressor? or just explain? Thanks!

[djnightlifeTV]

what is a better software for producing electro/electro trash/dubstep!? fl studio or logic pro? please reply asap thx

[JavierB1988]

Good lord you are a genius

[johnpopes]

VUM VUM!

[moartoad]

drums are hard to make for this.

[Deetroiter]

That's a nasty beat that you get going haha. Are you using a mac or a windows o.s.?

[MrLucifer92]

@Deetroiter

lets see he is using logic =_=

[tbizhere]

@Deetroiter Logic Pro will only work on Mac

[SinisterFlames]

What preset is this?

[technicalerr0r]

get some presets, combine them with other presets.

this isnt a tutorial, its a pro software advert.

[nafixisntright]

I just leveled up in electronic music production. I never even thought to use guitar rig for non-guitar sounds.

[zawmbees]

You're part of TEAM AiR? :O

I owe you my life.

[HouseHospital]

@ProducerTutorials

can you please give me the midi-file ? (:

[ChezWearsVans]

Please make a song with this part, is very awesome

[thadgan]

What did you sample in ch 4?

So basically layer 3 saws on different octaves and layer it with some noise + distortion playing the same set of midi notes. Also mess around with the BP filter? How do you get the sliding sound?

[thadgan]

What did you sample in ch 4?

[tia4603]

Amazing man!

[RudeOpera]

What's the name of the sound preset in minimonsta??? Thanks

[DangermouseBoy]

can you emulate this on any synth?

[dazzy1975]

Excellent tutorial dude, been looking for something like this for a while.

[YoMyEx]

where did you get your kick samples? did you make them yourself?

[loafpork]

Dude, I'm watching all these vids and it's really irritating how they're all using third party plug-ins.... If you're making Logic videos, why not just use the shit everyone has? It would make more sense since you're doing tutorials that you'd like a wide range of viewers to understand. Just a thought.

[DJPREUSS]

Could You PLEASE Put up a link for the project? :)

[ShayningTV]

awesome work!

[chuckles1252]

what's a good vst synth plugin for a realatively small amount of money?

[M3sslah]

@chuckles1252 Synth1 is a free awesome VST, also pretty easy to learn analoge synthesiz on, just search on it here on youtube and you can find a downloadlink in one clip called rank1 strings/supersaw tutorial. Otherwise I would recommend saving your money and get some pirate stuff until you know what you want and then support your favourite company. It all depends on what you want also, there are drum VST, synths, bass, samplers and also orchestrated stuff.

[thechuko1100]

Can u upload the project fles?

[VictorGii]

That sounds fucking awesome. I have to give this a go.

[MindLag92]

what drum samples do you use? thanks!

[ultracowking]

its just a saytooriser

[phunkaddikt]

@ultracowking I can't find that preset anywhere. "saytooriser" ? Are you sure this is how it's spelled? Thanks!

[wifebeater61]

@phunkaddikt

saturizer / saturiser / saturator

unless i'm missing something (like saytooriser is the name of a specific VST)

[Rmercenary]

hey man, thanks for the tutorial really helped :)

your quite the skilled one x

[SuperAlexMon]

whats the preset ??????????????

[TheAzulureus]

that beat is so raw!!!!!

[fergielickmalid]

SHIROBON! sneeking about with your dirty french house! haha i was thinking this was you too, ive just been watching the boyinaband videos and i love your style of electo mate, whens that tune out thats in the boyinaband videos? Respect horse house.

[spontaneous09]

damn u should finish this song!!!

[MrOnnop]

Doe anyone know how to make such a sound with the standard synth and plug-inns of logic? Cheers!

[KrylonDubstep]

can you send the midi files? please?

[jasonjohnc00]

mate, are these free vst's to download or do they come at a price? cheers man

[Tekmatic]

Is this Shirobon?

[ProducerTutorials]

@Tekmatic maybee..... :P

[phunkaddikt]

@ProducerTutorials Hey, awesome tutorial! Could you please tell me the name of the preset you use with minimonsta? Thanks!

[jeeaaman]

Thats dope! , already knew everything but this tutorial was good

[OverDoseOfPassion]

I bought Minimonsta today and Logic can't open it :( it brings up the AU manager and says it couldn't validate them. Help?

[ProducerTutorials]

@OverDoseOfPassion i dunno my, if you payed for it contact customer support :)

[ssShaunW1]

where have i heard that melody before?

[Evi1M4chine]

So to generalize it: It’s a basic 3-saw (different octaves) with a light lowpass filter (medium cutoff), filtered trough a analog sounding overdrive distortion with a strong bandpass in the mediums, and then some thickening compression with a bit of drive, correct? Finally you control the volume anti-parallel to the kick drum, and perhaps add some reverb.

Or did I miss a relevant detail?

[ProducerTutorials]

@Evi1M4chine all right apart from there issnt any cutoff :)

[shadowferd]

@ProducerTutorials What is the configuration of the oscillators?

[OneBlackNail]

@ProducerTutorials your tutorials ar undetailed why are you wasting my time?

[ElAlexxis]

@OneBlackNail you wack piece of shit, fuck off

[MrDubfiendHD]

@Evi1M4chine you mean side chain compression.... not "anti parallel volume" lmao

[WeLikeFetaCheese]

@Evi1M4chine that and its technically a Bandreject on the mids not a Bandpass :P

[ndianuskifosu]

have a record of the audio of this video?

thanks

[realc0]

dude what kind of software are you using i already have minimonsta but i wanna record my music

[ProducerTutorials]

@realc0 im using logic :)

[iplayzdrumz]

@ProducerTutorials sounds awesome. will this work the same in ableton live?

[ProducerTutorials]

@iplayzdrumz of course!

[PumasNFatLaces]

TEAM AiR??? Your name is verrrrrrrrry famous in some circles (tsk tsk!)

[ProducerTutorials]

@PumasNFatLaces my name? :P

[Evi1M4chine]

@PumasNFatLaces: TEAM AiR RULES! MUHAHAHAHA!

Props to team AiR!

[doriansgray]

what software program are you using? I'm used to FL Studio, so not familiar with whatever you're using.

[ProducerTutorials]

@doriansgray im using logic, the daw doesnt matter on getting this sound

[DJHodg3]

your really a great tutor.... i love your videos and keep up the great work

[ProducerTutorials]

@DJHodg3 thanks!! will do man :)

[wobbygongman]

[ProducerTutorials]

@MUFFINWRATH they will be coming ;D

[eggfriedmelon]

ILOVEYOUMAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNN ;D

Awesomee tutoriall (:

<3

[djmatrix2000007]

nice vid m9 well done

[ProducerTutorials]

@djmatrix2000007 thanks bro!

[twanglezzz]

Ace tutorial bro! I'd like to request a tutorial on how you do your mixing / eq/ mastering on a normal song with synths and drums and whatnot (including master track too) because all of your mixes sound so HUGE! That would be great mikey. Cheers! -Blake

[ProducerTutorials]

@twanglezzz thanks bro! and yeah i will in the future but for now its just gonna be a few how to make sounds then i will move on to that :)
