Tutorial: Skrillex-y Robotic Dubstep Bass Growl pt 2

[ImpactTwoMusic]

Thanks for this tutorial! It was really helpful and I made my first Reason 5 song last night with a bassline something along the lines of this one.

[instrumentalpoet]

DELICIOUS!!!

[theemotionandmusic]

LEGENDARY!!!

[jstrayified]

I'm having one problem, none of the instruments will play together, cerberus plays/makes sound, lil cerberus & the subtractor do as well but i can't select them at the same time and make them all play at once. It seems like he 's doing that in the video and i wrong? what am i doing wrong?

[007mano1]

fucking awesome video, man, really good explaination of all details, your voice is only a bit loud, thanks for this



[boatofcoins]

you are literally, the most annoying person in the fucking world. The expressions you use are so forced and you sound like you're reading from a script. AND WHY DO YOU ANNUNCIATE YOUR Ts AND Ks SOOOOO FUCKING MUCH! STOP

[ScottDrama]

how can i use the RATE to control the pattern? great video, you are very talented :)

[Zoixlive]

Really good tutorial man ! nice

[FloopDubstep]

Can you please give a tutorial on the drums in this? They're considerably more powerful than any drum tutorials you've done. Excellent video by the way.

[bzsmileyman]

i love your videos they are helping alot

it helps that you explain the reasoning behind it

but what mixing programs and production programs do you use

please reply thank you

[SaintAngerRound]

just something can you PLEASE give notes first?!?

[janskibeats]

useless ...



[WoWitsGeorgii]

@janskibeats yes, yes you are

[janskibeats]

@WoWitsGeorgii : happy christmass to you and your friends !!!!

[lekremyelsew]

What are the specs on your computer? You seem to be running a shitload of plugins.

[CarolingCJTV]

did you record the drums? use kong in reason or what?

[mragentblackhawk]

how much money do you think all that stuff would cost in canada??

[L3PK11]

dude you sound like michael mcintyre. Pretty fucking awesome.

[XDsylwek]

[Discordanian]

@XDsylwek 'Reason'

[jatwood0]

[JarettSlater]

hi i have a problem when i copy the combinator it has no sound please help :( (i hookt the cables up in the same mixer as the first combinator)

[syed123321]

dude, ur tutorials are so cool...im only 15 years old and your tutorials helped me make awesome dubstep/electronic...keep it up, man!

[yoyoace02]

I dare you to make this kind of sound in Garageband. GB isn't really that bad (Well, then again it kind of is), and not everyone has money to spend on a good software.

Still, people everywhere are using Garageband to make dubsteps, and they do a good job. But the synths always sound like the 80's puked all over them.

You seem to know a LOT about making music and getting the sound you want, so please try to challenge yourself with creating something amazing in Garageband.

[AutoTunedSoul]

@yoyoace02

>Not everyone has money to spend on a good software

>Buys overpriced Mac

[yoyoace02]

@AutoTunedSoul somehow I knew I'd get some sort of Mac-related insult from a random person XD

[AltAirPilot517]

TOO FAST WITH HOOKING UP THE CABLES!!!

[EZStepz]

HOLY HELL DOG!!! Dude I just followed ur pt.1 and pt.2 tuts, saved the patches and then added them to a track I'm working on and f00k me! The quality of sound has gone up by 1000%!!! U sir, u, are a genius and if I wasn't a dude too I would kiss u on ur boy bits :0D

[sirSHREDalot802]

id like to hear the finished track. is it posted??

[STRIPPERSnPORNSTARS]

EXCELLENT! ...as usual :)

[Riffliquer]

Hey guys .. I have a problem .. everytime I connect a new device the old one is not active .. as in there is no sound from the previous one .. for eg, when I duplicated the "Thor 1", i could hear the sound only from the new one and not from "thor 1" .. similarly when I added the subtractor, both the thors were inactive and only the subtractor sound is audible .. what am I doing wrong .. ?? please some one help..

[macisdubomb]

is there a way to get a refill for this?

[j4q0]

Great work, very easy to understand explanations. Cheers!

[jenso942]

Wow i have never seen anyone make as good a tutorial as you. You really get into details and explains what the panels do. Subscribed.

[TDWPLOVER01]

When I went to do the "mini cerberus", I started to play it and I got no sound from that channel... What did I do wrong?

[OneMoreMusician]

@TDWPLOVER01 Did you forget to reconnect the combinator to the mixer? I've done that a couple of times -.-

[TDWPLOVER01]

@OneMoreMusician That may be what happened. Thanks!

[OneMoreMusician]

@TDWPLOVER01 No problem dude.

[denialone]

Thanks for this great tutorials cheers!!!

[MrTOxicFRedd]

where do i dwnload reason 5

[gjanoian]

@MrTOxicFRedd thepiratebay(dot)org

[Kaittos]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I've pulled a few tips from both parts of this video to get an awesome synth technique.

[Greenjah81]

The look-ahead means what I could name a preview of what's to come in to the Limiter/ Maximizer. And because the body of the whole synth is so reach of Mids and Highs, the will be the toughest frequencies in the range of all of them. Thus when you apply "look-ahead" function on LM/MX it will analyze the frequencies slightly different from usual straight on Limiting/ Maximization. At least that's the way I think.

[Greenjah81]

@Greenjah81 ...meaning that it'll Limit/ Maximize them slightly different from regular peaks. That's what I meant.

[NickDenningMusic]

you make awesome tutorials

[randiseriss]

canyou send me this patch?

[Arrunlol]

hey there Dave, great upload, really really helped, but i've stumbled into a problem : i followed your instructions to the letter, but when you duplicated the combinator, i duplicated mine and it tracked everything, and connected the stereo output on the new cominator to the line mixer, but i still get no sound. Do you have any suggestions?

Also the cerberus metaphors made me lol. alot. :P

[icybladeful]

dude thats awesome!!

[ElBorreguitoOscuro]

what program did u use?? o:O

[shrimpy342]

this is really useful thanks dave!

[Noname7401]

man your wried but i like it thanks this very help full even if you dont use reason do you can do the same thing in acid pro 7 or csound blue 

[matshaq41]

how can i get this ?

[peetnroll]

whats the name of this program? and how can i get it? :)

[Firqable]

@peetnroll Reason. You can buy it from propellerhead software

[TomWintersMusic]

BRILLIANT!!!

[iTzFaTaLASsAsS1N]

Delicious :P



[JonRosa]

That's too much compression (Infinity really?)... Dave you know better.

[TomWintersMusic]

@JonRosa

shush!!

Stop acting like a know it all, if you were you wouldnt be watching this tutorial.

and the compression helps! :)

[AceTheIntrovertMusic]

holy crap that heeeelll yeah at 2:06 made me shit bricks. funniest/weirdest thing ive heard in a looong time.

[spinfected]

hey dave, first of all thanks for these tutorials! they're really helpful. I have a question, how does the subtractor produce sound by only being attached to the mixer?

[Bloodflooder]

@spinfected its in a combinator...all sounds going through the mixer are combined in the combinator

[doushebag]

Cheers

[DynastyUKOfficial]

on the new Reason. will they have a shortcut for "initialize patch"? cntr I or summin would be handy.

[xRedHitmanx]

@DynastyUKOfficial Right click the device that you want to Initialize and press "i" on the keyboard. Saves vital seconds

[DynastyUKOfficial]

@xRedHitmanx YOU SIR!!! ARE A FECKING GENIUS!!!!!!!! nice one ;)

[THEJUGGLINGWIZARD]

@xRedHitmanx Every second counts. I always like to know the shortcuts.

[xRedHitmanx]

@THEJUGGLINGWIZARD You'd be surprised how annoyed I get when a frequently used action doesn't have a shortcut.. I rely on them :D

[btrdan]

is there anyway to do this on logic

[peterpaniskwl]

whats the easiest way to change all of the LFO's at once?

[EmantheBassist]

@peterpaniskwl In the combi, assign all the LFO's to the same rotary, making sure they are all on the same value (4/4, 1/8, 3/16, whatevs). That should do it.

[MegaCreatedaccount]

yo peeps used this synth in my new track check it /watch?v=L6GK4PR0vKM thanks bro

[differentperson0102]

<3 you!!!!!

[THEJUGGLINGWIZARD]

This is a great stutter effect. I'm enoying working on a track using it right now. Much respect.

[carlosomartin]

you gotta do a Gtronic type synth plz...

[deejaystatue]

what drum samples are you using mayn?

[j0epep]

thanks for this tute. i found it a really good starting point for thick dirty sounds. FYI guys, i used this synth and combined it with the subbass dave made in his 7da prog song, and sidechained it to a real meaty kick and it sounds great as an electro synth! with heaps of automated pitch bending/arpeggiating you can get a really dynamic bass layer to a song!

[kissanainen6969]

your track is faster? even that i got higher tempo ?? what have went wrong ? sdfgfgasfhasofighasfhgioashfog­ih help 

[DJTYCOMIX]

I want to hear your rap!

[Scottde420]

those drums sounds so clean i got reason 3.0 i pretty much mastered it wish i could afford all this stuff :(

[waynuuuuus]

@Scottde420 *torrent*

[31roman1987]

reason 5 is the best music software ever!

[deejaystatue]

@31roman1987 but how hard is it to get it LOUD! I struggle.

[efil4ese213]

FUCKING SICK TUTORIAL  KEEP THE VIDEOS COMING.....

[OfficialShaqR]

Would you be able to do a tutorial on bass' fo minimal drum and bass? Styles like Icicle, Alix Perez, Spectrasoul. Would be great :)

[MichelleSuxMyD]

@KASEBROTFTW lol...

[DanielParker01]

hey dave, awsome tutorial. Coule you make a tutorial on the beat, including what samples you used etc? it sounds better then your other dubstep tutorial beats:)

[NicenEasyuk]

@DanielParker01 I think it's practice, practice, practice, practice. PRAAAACTICE. Samples are only really half the work. If you have a snare in a song you like. Try and copy it as best as you can. If not, copy it when it's on a break or softer part of the song without to much mess. Record it, view the wave form, view it's frequency peaks and see where it's hitting hardest most. even subtractive-eq it your self and see where it gets it edge.

[synaesthesia2010]

@DanielParker01 it's not just the samples used, it's how they're processed aswell. trial and error and torrent searching for dubstep samples would be the best way to learn this, as following his tutorials to the letter would give different results to the samples you use, as the each have their own compression and eq characteristics

[VariousArtists2007]

Seing as Dave from boyinaband always does tutorials on getting phat synth and drum sample sounds I think it would be cool if he did something similar on how to get phat guitar or bass guitar tones as one of his NextUp support video thingys; displaying hints and tips on microphones used, multi-tracking, layering, EQ, compression...that sort of thing.

Thumbs up if you agree :)

[armenianzombie]

@KASEBROTFTW ....It's still in bad form not to explain the concept in a video aiming to be professional. Also, if you're making a video on making music, why not explain the music theory behind something, and actually further your knowledge, rather than be a fucking troglodyte that knows nothing.

[MrChietnamese]

Love on this bass!

[celethon]

So fucking sweet. I love your videos! They've helped me learn a lot so far and I look forward to more videos from you!

[jortband]

And yes the acting in hercules in new york is awesome!!

I'am zhe zon of zeus

[drumloop]

Awesome tutorial!

[armenianzombie]

YOU CAN'T have F# and E flat in the same key, even with accidentals.

[jeffsolis]

@armenianzombie Pretty sure it's F natural in the key of Eb. So yes, you can, so long as it's written as been outside of the key...although, it'd make more sense to write Gb.

[armenianzombie]

@jeffsolis That's what I meant, or he at least should have explained it or corrected himself, it's just really really bad form to say that from a theory standpoint, or at least fail to explain it, It's a spotless tutorial otherwise.

[morphender]

@armenianzombie with accidentals, you've got that notes in the Cdim chord. it's called diminished chord.

[armenianzombie]

@morphender No you don't have a dim. chord, a dim. chord, has two minor thirds, making that impossible, because you only have one (Eb to Gb), and the other interval is a minor/ major second depending on where you're starting from. So no, there is not a diminished chord here.

[morphender]

@armenianzombie I think I did'nt explained my self properly in english. In fact I barely understood your reply, but I'll try to answer. The Gb and F# are the same key on piano, and reason too. And the F# in Cmin is the "blue note" on the minor blues scale. I think this is the case, the minor blues scale in Cmin, with F#, it's a tritone, giving lots of tension on the bassline. And this is for the great boyinaband: ABSOLUTE GENIUS, keep fulling us of your infinite knowledge.

[armenianzombie]

@armenianzombie *you can have accidentals. You shouldn't say that the piece is in a minor key without explaining that F# and Eb aren't natively in the same key, and why.

[FinalFragment]

Shit, I missclicket and hit dislike, sorry dave :(

Pressed "like" insted, hope it will change it back.

[wearurheart]

Just in time for the transformers movie!

[coffeeninja88]

Well, this isn't quite my suggestion of drinking a whole fifth of Bailey's and going jogging. But, dammit, I'll take it. Oh, that sexy bass.

[glimpseimaging]

How often do you initialize the patch after creating a device? If it is most of the time, why not uncheck the "Load Default Sound in New Devices"? I also see you're using Record, but still sticking with the 14:2 mixer at the top. I've moved to having each device on its own Mix Channel, it's wonderful. Even more amazing is each drum in Kong connected to a unique Mix Channel, bliss.

Anyway, keep up the good work, you've definitely taught me more than any other source.

[usernamelame1]

@glimpseimaging alot of tutorial makers do this. They know about the default INIT patches, but its easier when teaching people who dont have that selected

[atheish]

@glimpseimaging its possible that he still uses the 14:2 mixer because not everyone has record or reason 6.

[Dokujin]

Realized this video has one thumb down.. Skrillex found you!

[Dokujin]

I'm really happy that I found you a couple of years back.. Almost sounded like I was confessing my love.. and.. I guess, in an all non-gay way - I did!

[00Dakka]

shitson...

[ChrisBefleckt]

fucking awesome, you are my best support for my next track - thanks a lot for this inspiration

[vi54]

always good tuts, but honestly i kinda miss the muddy oldskool reesy basslines when i hear these. hmm maybe cuz i ve been in the game for 15+ years. i grew a custom on muddy basses hehe.

anyways nice job!

[DrDrolomehet]

@Vendoman500 The nextup thing is the whole song.

[Vendoman500]

@DrDrolomehet how do u find it?

[DrDrolomehet]

@Vendoman500 /watch?v=nUWCHrNkNT8&feature=r­elmfu thats how.

[Gameboygenius]

@Vendoman500 I think the letter u prefers to wait until the last day of the tutorial.
