[TUTORIAL] Make a Deadmau5 synth/lead with Sylenth1

[supahappyfuntime11]

FOR EVERYONE GETTING A DIFFERENT SOUND: go to menu and then click "init preset" before following the tutorial

[toomuchill]

awesome. it's all about the chords you use. you know music theory/chord progression or just go by ear?

[Nils4664]

ok it works now, it sound different just becouse in the vid he takes hig notes

[Nils4664]

i also did every thing like you,it sound very different.which presets did you start with?the basecly one?

[QiantaMusic]

@Nils4664

[DGurpur]

@RollyU, the same thing happened to me, the end result is absolutely nothing like in the video

[beg4silence]

diggin' that riff! great finished sound, but along the way, im like "ooh! save it!" ... "now it sounds good!"  haha... sub'd :)

[igzymig]

dose chords man. jesus... awesome tutorial too. watched it a couple times extra just to listen to the tune haha. good stuff :)

[guildwarslover]

The chords are from a deadmau5 song, am I right?

[dannym3343]

slow down man haha

[AngryLlamaAttack]

is this your original song?

[QiantaMusic]

@AngryLlamaAttack

yep

[USCmc2]

how can i get sylenth1 for free? i can't find a tutorial anywhere.

[RollyU]

i finally got ableton, and got sylenth1. but i have no idea how to make a song, but more importantly i dont' know how you got this synth! i did everything you did but it still sounds all sci fi-ish like the default when i opened it up. lol was there any other step you did before you started recording? keep in mind i lterally just got it like yesterday and have no idea how to work any of these spaceship controls. lol

[QiantaMusic]

@RollyU

i dont think i added any other effects but keep in touch cause im starting to upload tutorials again. I've been away for quite a while because of school n shit. i actually want to do videos with my voice in it to help even more and explain but.....nop D:

[JustinMPerea]

those chords are too good.

Thats really whats makes the sound great.

[LOVE1Darkorbit]

[HandsUpManiatic]

[QiantaMusic]

@wildfunker

Idk what your trying to say with that, but.... alright.

[QiantaMusic]

@wildfunker

umm, yes i am?

[TheMusicEvo]

I liked your tutorial very much, however, another guy did something similar...and posted a link with the synth settings too!

Perhaps I'll leave you with that idea, if you decide to take it on in the future. Here's the link of his video.

PS: I seem to be having trouble posting the link, try searching:

Deadmau5 Sounds Made with Sylenth1 (With Download Link!!)

[ThePencil901]

CAN YOU JUST POST A PICTURE OF THE SETTINGS?!

[PRPrinzregent]

Which Preset was used in this Video? (in the Database)

[elixer6x6x6]

@PRPrinzregent go to the first vid and he has a download link

[PRPrinzregent]

@elixer6x6x6 I have the Package but there are 120 Presets^^

[aadmetdebaard]

Omg go slower please

[TreyBanksMusic]

Cant find a init patch. Fuck me Fuck meee meeeeee

[Fleskpannkakah]

What did you do in the beginning? First it sounded like a default sylenth sound, and then suddenly without doing anything it sounded totally different!

[QiantaMusic]

@Fleskpannkakah

i played some chords from one of my songs.

[Fleskpannkakah]

@QiantaMusic Ah, kay! Thanks, great tutorial.

[HungryLi0n]

what did u do at 0:11?

[QiantaMusic]

@HungryLi0n

just lower the volume

[HungryLi0n]

@QiantaMusic nice tutorial, i found out what was wrong

[tylersherritt]

I tried downloading the link you have on your other video.. a success on the drums but the preset is a .fxb file and i can't locate it in my FL.. Any pointers? Would love to have this preset.

[Partybeatsmovies]

Please help me !! My Sylenth1 is not the same as yours when I boot I do not get the same melody as yours ? :s please give me the download link of your Sylenth1 please Thnx .

[RockXero77]

I'm just going to justify my downloading the preset by saying that I'm going to be able to learn more by tweaking the parameters of a good synth like this one than by recreating it in the first place :D

[hypergod3]

how can i do the initial present

[Djpatbass]

cool dude Great synth work

[DoItOnly4love]

where can i get sylenth? :)

[max2icey]

[superpwned80]

awesome job, i love it :D

[asdwowq]

Qianta thx for my requezt

[DJandytee]

Cool video by the way :)

[EvilFaceIsland]

Qianta, I've been using Ableton for about a month now, and let me tell you that I just can't make music. I plain suck at it. There is not one strand of creative DNA in my body. Idk how you do it. I seem to dissapoint myself a lot, but seeing this makes me want to...makes me want to quit really. I can't seem to top my own expectations. :/ I still love your music.

[DJandytee]

@EvilFaceIsland No matter how hard it seems, just keep at it. It took about a year for me before I came up with anything worthy. Even now I struggle to make good chord progressions but once every 2-3 weeks my brain clicks and I come out with a catchy tune. 9/10 of the melodies I make dissapoint me, but when I come up with something good, its usually very good and makes me smile.

[EvilFaceIsland]

@DJandytee It is just so hard to persist that I don't know if I should. As much as I want to it is just really hard for me to keep a positive mentality towards a dream to make music. I mean I would like it to become a semi-painless hobby that could possibly pay for college, but I just don't know!

[OfficialRAD]

@EvilFaceIsland Seek inspiration, that's my recommendation. 

[EvilFaceIsland]

@OfficialRAD I don't want to copy anybody though.

[MitchIsLost]

@EvilFaceIsland Thought I'd intervene here. I started using DAW's almost a year ago, you just need to lose the 'I have to make something amazing instantly' feeling you get. Famous producers didn't get their sounds so tight overnight, they spend years developing skills. My best advice is learn everything inside-out if you're serious about it. From programming synths, to panning, to effects like compressors etc. If you put enough dedication in the pay out is amazing. :)

[EvilFaceIsland]

Bittersweet :D

[QiantaMusic]

@EvilFaceIsland

haah... my old song :P
