my initial presets in massive are different when i go 2 new sounds than from the 1's u have in ur tutorials. i pirated massive ( am saving up to buy the real thing ) would that cause that to happen? PLEASE HELP :( thanks!
I have a problem: when I open massive with ableton (8) I can't get no sound at all... When I open massive by itself, it sounds just fine but when I try to do it in ableton, it doesn't work... Can somebody tell me what to do? Thank you
@crieone I agree with you 100% BUT Skrillex is not the only popular electronica artist that uses this type of synth. Many real DUBSTEP artists use this like Zomboy and Flux Pavilion.
I'm an aspiring producer from southern california and phortysik's tutorials have helped me tremendously, if you could please check out my soundcloud and tell me what you think of my complextro song it would be much appreciated, thank you! soundcloud . com/ justin-mcguire / demo-song
@ChilliDubstep No, Massive costs like 200$, but one of my good friends has a tutorial where you can download it for free. Look up "How to Get & Install Massive 1.2.1 On a Mac For Free [Ableton Live Tips]".
Also, You shoudlen't Buy Ableton, you can get it for free.
I've been following your tutorials for a while. I have been using a pirated fl studio, lately it has been bugging me that I have been, it makes me just as bad as a burglar. So I uninstalled it but now I can't afford it, I'm only 15, and my parents have a hard enough time with bills and such :(
@crierone I kinda agree with you, but watching these videos you learn really good tips and tricks on sound development, with that you can eventually start making your own sounds
@crierone The way to find your own sound is to emulate others. In the start of your development that is. Great way to learn. That's why you can always hear other bands influence on most other bands.There are exceptions, of course, but generally you always get a hint of the bands that influenced them. They do the same in music schools. What was done before you came along is important, and the best type of learning material.
@crierone Im sure skrillex wanted to sound like someone then took it to the next level. Its called evolving. Im sure you try and sound like people but put you're style on it.
@crierone Skrillex isn't the only person to use this sound. Just because you're using something that other people have used in the past doesn't mean you're unoriginal. You learn what you can and adapt from that.
@crierone To learn producing and creating your own songs it can help to imitate your idols first to learn the ropes or get bearings and then move onto creating your own unique sound. Let's face it... learning is basically imitating or replicating the actions of knowledge that someone else has. Very few people are discoverer's so to speak. But I agree when you're ready, definitely become yourself and demonstrate imagination. :)
Wouldn't it be much better if you saved the file then uploaded it to megaupload or something then put it in the description so it saves everyone's time?
@ArtLinez it it isnt working you might want to try going to the voicing tab and changing the options from polyphonic to monorotate and legato triller... then play two notes overlapping to glide from one to the other.
@maxiandroll The skrillex reptile bass is the preset Loop Skanner in Massive. Just turn off Osc 2 and turn down the bars in LFO 5. Thats the basic sound. The EQing and rest is up to you.
I started using Massive recently, I can get a basic bass type sound. I'm finding your tutorial quite helpful right now.
Not because of the end result, but because you describe what your current action will do. (Like when you described what the 'Restart via Gate' will do.
I'm the kind of person that would rather learn how the whole thing works than how to achieve a certain sound, because if I know how it works, I know exactly how to achieve whatever sound I'm thinking of... most of the time
i have been using fl studio for 2 months now and i want to change! everyone says that fl studio sucks so i want to start with ableton because both skrillex and deadmau5 is using ableton
skrillex said he used a preset in sylenth and slightly tweaked it for the scary monsters and nice sprites lead. this is pretty close and good for people who dont have sylenth but if oyu have it or can torrent it you can get the exact sound
Doesn't having two voices, without altering the panning or tuning of them from the voicing tab, just increase the volume from creating the same sound twice?
One QUESTION tho: Whenever there's a graph with white lines on massive my lines aren't white they r just grey... why is that? What can i do to change it or does it affect the sound? thanks
can someone send me a working preset when i try to do it on my massive sounds completly different =(
