How To Make The Skrillex Vocal Effect With Ableton

[mephisto40]

Fuck these shitty emo samples!

[DjCrazyDisciple]

What software are you using for the autotune?

[kmkdillon1]

where do you get your vocal tracks from? do you record them?

[MikeeDwyer]

@kmkdillon1 Depends, I was asked to remix this track so they sent me the stems. Beatport has a lot of remix competitions and whatnot where you can grab vocal stems :)

[DjApprehension]

I know a Mike Dwyer he is "gay" and a complete poo poo face you seem legit though he probably stole your name.

[Emmett6661]

dude youre sick!!! whats the original vocal sample from?

[MikeeDwyer]

@Emmett6661 A Group named SEVONICA

[TheVideogabrielito]

is it possible to do in Logic?

[Ptuchmedia]

Many thanks from Russia for shareing your music!

[MikeeDwyer]

@Ptuchmedia Awesome your welcome!

[TheeAldeen]

@Ptuchmedia One - Word -- Automation --

[Ptuchmedia]

@TheeAldeen i mean MUSIC, not this video. Again, especially for you: MUSIC.

[Party85050]

How did you make the intro crescendo like that at the beginning of your song? :p

@MikeeDwyer

[MikeeDwyer]

@Party85050 Automate the Cutoff filter on the synth...and for the vocals I used Abletons Autofilter and automated the LowPass frequencies

[mortaldirecter]

@MikeeDwyer how do u get only the vocals and not the whole song



[MikeeDwyer]

@mortaldirecter You can't...This was a remix so they sent me all the tracks. You have to have individual stems in order to have the voice manipulated like that. Record your own or find Acapellas online. Try beatport.com for their remix competitions as well

[boobtubeboy]

reminds me more of danny byrd

[AzENone1]

wow.. thanks dude..

[SiLeXnet]

I really like the synth. Tried this already but can't get to it. I'm pretty new to ableton but very advanced with other DAWs. Can you tell me a tip on how to mage that synth.

my synth get never decayed when LPF them.

Nice tutorial btw!

[luskita23]

this possible on REaper ?

[xXTriforceXx]

[igyoung13]

Don't mean to be that guy but the program your using looks very annoying! im happy with my Studio One Pro

[12swood12]

@igyoung13 ABLETON IS THE BEST STFU

[LoonurHD]

That. Song. Was. Amazing. Keep it up bro.

[tmass1]

Take that and reverse parts of it, match the notes to a killer melody, then get noticed

[2000blackwolf]

how do you download that

[Habitsoftheheart]

Mine says "Crop Clips" Instead of slice to new midi track. Help?

[alienbiwo]

What's that program name?

[2000blackwolf]

@alienbiwo albeton

[TomBudinMusic]

ableton is fucking intense i cannot use it at all//.dsfgbhdtsf

[iSUB4DUB]

skrillex vocal = reverse what makes it sounds like japanese XD

[Antwonx161]

DWYER IN YOUR PANTS



[Antwonx161]

M DDDDDDD

[severeTstormer]

Thats really awesome. I wish Garaegband could do that!!! XD

[Alextronicmsk]

OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!!! COOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLL­LLLLLLLLLLLL :O

[MikeeDwyer]

@1jonathanjpm (Vegneance Club Essentials drums) 

[carlos775]

good tutorial!! Great Job!! I learn something new!!! THANK YOU

[MikeyyBoy94]

Does massive work with Ableton?

[MikeeDwyer]

@MikeyyBoy94 Absolutely

[RezBoxOfficail]

oh man you helped out alot, but the thing is i have reason 5 but this gives me an idea on how to do it thanks

[jeradwtfdub]

Woah thanks dude! Did not know it was this simple. Is this ableton live? And do you need a Mac to run it?

[TheOfficialDarksound]

could you do a tutorial on the drop screech synth you did in the finished song?

[MikeeDwyer]

Really appreciate all the positive feedback from everyone Thank you! Please support the music and like us if you enjoy at beatmass on Facebook. I will continue to make More Tutorials and plenty of other Tips if I get more subscribes and Shares. Muchos Gracias!

[sandurojas]

@MikeeDwyer How did you do the master process? Sounds powerful i like it

[peeweehehaw]

@MikeeDwyer How did you get the punchy snare sound on the final recording? Can you go through the steps? What sounds did you layer together? Any pointers would be amazing!!! Great tutorial!!

[Riveratech32]

dude i had no idea you were beat mass! ive been a fan of the Florence and the machine remix for months now. you guys are FUCKING awesome.

[MikeeDwyer]

@Riveratech32 Thanks man that means a lot!

[rulix36]

awesome bro, now in pro tools , come on come on ! , waiting for u

[MikeeDwyer]

@rulix36 Ditch the pro tools man...Ableton ftw! I love pro tools though but its not as good for electronic music I think

[rulix36]

@MikeeDwyer do it in fl studio then.

[Champiness]

As great as this sounds, I'm pretty sure autotune isn't part of the "Skrillex technique" - his syllables come in short staccato bursts that are a single note all throughout, as opposed to the "warbling" seen here.

[TheMC22X]

It seems to me that Skrillex did something Melodic, rather than "random" playing around.

[InterModification]

I love you...

[killsyou99]

dude this is so sick i want ur knowledge NOW!!!!!!!

[miguelbenav]

you should REALLY think about making a tutorial of your full song man.... for the sake of humanity......ITS FUCKING SICK!!!!!!!

[MikeeDwyer]

@miguelbenav Its possible, but I may just do a new track and show that tutorial...we will see :)

[TheWaarriorss]

nice can you check out my channel please

[NikaNick11]

anyone know how to do this in FL studio?

[MOPtooth]

@NikaNick11 With a Vocoder and Slicex, i think.

[ArthurdaSillva]

good :)

[ThreeLinesPro]

your track is sick too/ fwi

[ThreeLinesPro]

dude! your the shit! :) thank you so much! thank you thank you thank you!

[sonick808]

i've been using melodyne but this may cut workflow time. I'd never paid attention to that autochop, ableton is full of little goodies like that

[FLPDJ]

What VST are you using for your stabs at the beggining?

[MrSmugmonster]

Dude...

Your remix RULE !

[RawGreenTheAnimator]

Fruity Slicer and DirectWave in Fruityloops works well. Not to mention there's free auto-tune vsts out there that work really well if you take a little bit of time to learn about them. Once you do learn about them, you realize it's so easy to set them up you can't forget them.

[vladi013]

Nice draft! Great workaround without Melodyne, Isolate or Waves Tune.

[lentejTV9]

You need MELODYNE!

[MikeeDwyer]

@lentejTV9 I know I know...Skrillex uses Melodyne!!! I have used it plenty before....I just wanted to show a cool alternative to Melodyne and how to get the same effect. Melodyne is an amazing tool though

[fergiefart2]

How long did it take you to make this song?

[deadpinner]

Nice what type of program do you use

[fergiefart2]

@deadpinner Read the title?

[MrDeftones210]

Skrillex already explained that for his vocal effects he uses mellowdyne! ;)



[MikeeDwyer]

@MrDeftones210 I know I know...Skrillex uses Melodyne!!! I have used it plenty before....I just wanted to show a cool alternative to Melodyne and how to get the same effect. Melodyne is an amazing tool though. Note: I did not say this is exactly How Skrillex does it...just a similar effect ;)

[360viper117]

@MikeeDwyer How did you extract the vocals from the song so cleanly?

[P090p0k3]

@MrDeftones210 melodyne? :o

[MrDeftones210]

@P090p0k3 yes melodyne weine!

[P090p0k3]

@MrDeftones210 nice! thanx!

[rsm2312]

your end result of this video makes me depressed about my music. :_(

[xCatsRCoolx]

skrillex is not just a tune boy *SKRILLEX*

[elijaremski]

CAN YOU PLEASE MAKE A WALK THROUGH VIDEO TUTORIAL ON HOW YOU MADE THE SONG?!?!?!?!?!?!

[RelinquishedDubstep]

skrillex uses melodyne for vocals, check it out ;)

[CedricKmusic]

great tutorial, thanks for sharing :)

[djkleen408]

dope video!! thanks for showing that... really made me understand the midi slicing a little better!! keep up the great work!

[lomainzz]

how can we email you? i have a querstin

[MikeeDwyer]

@lomainzz Mikeedwyer@gmail.com

[sedative3145]

Thanks for this

[ellmango]

ctrl + f, shank you

[TheLynxie]

Actually... what he does is load up the split vocal tracks into a sampler and play them randomly with different pitch settings on each sample pad. FYI.

[OfficialXsist]

i didnt know owen wilson taught ableton

[MikeeDwyer]

@OfficialXsist Haha

[zackaccount]

@OfficialXsist

haha oh god you're totally right

[OfficialXsist]

@zackaccount about the owen wilson comment? haha

[SSMultiplayerBand]

@OfficialXsist Owen Wilsons got BEATZ.

[DannyPolDiaz]

the process is simple, the hardest part is figuring out all of ableton lmao nice vid

[BlackEternity22]

Sometimes you can just..... fuckin..... draw all around. lol

[crietenz]

how did you fade that in like that?

[Ezrasarauer]

Is that you singing? :o

[HzHurt]

He changed the cut off using an automation, I think?

[WhatsThisStickyStuff]

the option to slice the clip doesnt come up for me ;(

[epiaxor]

Do you have this full song uploaded anywhere?

[Godisen007]

GOD I hate this! :( interesting effect though, will probably come in handy on drums instead of mangling up a perfectly fine vocal clip.

[Rkyxsn]

what Autotune VST do you use?

[Rumpeskalk]

what is better to use, garageband or ableton live?

[DrewTweedyMusic]

@Rumpeskalk thats a funny question....

[Br0o0otal]

@Rumpeskalk Well Ableton of course...

[StudioParadoXwebsite]

I'm usually an FL Studio user, i WOULD use ableton live, but it takes up a lot of memory and the trial (demo) expires unlike FL Studio's. But this s way cooler than flstudio

[BaysikzDubstep]

one question.. can you do a video on how to get just the vocals from the song? i feel like i could do something with this band. ive been using audacity to make acapellas but they're not that great. i wish you luck in your music producing!

[CrsnCheez]

Anyone know a Logic Pro way of doing this?

[silentkingdom]

Awesome, thank you!!

[zomgdave]

So sick! thanks dude!

[DuyChemist]

thanks it's so amazing :D

[xenariz]

bro where'd you get those vocals?

[Wsauce]

iT ONLY works with autotune EFX¿¿?? Or with normal autotune? thanks

[akai002]

tight!

[PivotB3stZ]

Alright, so I have good tunes in my head, and I've downloaded FL studio, but I hate it. I want to make dubstep and maybe techno... should I try this instead? thanks

[itexmusic]

Where can i get these awesome vocals? :O

[ultirian]

Thanks for the instruction. getting a bit fed up endless wobbles on endless platforms. Like 13crapa said :)

[JJOHoraful]

i don't have the option to slice to new midi track. what do i do?

[bleaksolaris]

Great work, that sounds great.shame I use cubase 5.could never get my head round ableton live

[jmfrost12]

This is neat

[OfficialAbednego]

very awsome track



[luigi1098]

nice pluck synth

[embraceTheCHAOS2011]

dude have u named that song or posted it anywhere cuz its pretty sick

[PivotB3stZ]

@embraceTheCHAOS2011 Check the desc. bro, the full song is amazing.

[Iddragon]

i love master lol

[DJFRENCHNOISE123]

thankyou!!!!!



[saul92345]

That sounds pretty tight

[liferhxc]

would the auto tune really make a difference in the pitch envelope?

[rusogoalie]

How come it says Beat Mass did this and not you? Are you part of Beat Mass?

[MikeeDwyer]

@rusogoalie You caught me!!! ;)

[rusogoalie]

@MikeeDwyer So you are part of Beat Mass? If so, I just listened to your soundcloud and amazing tunes on there. Well done! And thank you for these videos. I'm still a newbie at ableton, but these definitely help!

[MikeeDwyer]

@rusogoalie Yeah I am a part of Beat Mass, thanks for checking out the tunes I'm glad these help out

[YeeyayHeartsDUB]

@MikeeDwyer i see drop box !! :D

so handy

[TheeAldeen]

@rusogoalie you can use a keyboard too, makes it way easier

[oliepwns]

Thanks man, this opened me up to new ideas. Very good tutorial!

[funboxx12]

Q: these pitchdrawlines in red at 5:49 , are they from ableton pitch plugin ? or from the autotune antares ? i try to do this in logic and it looks a bit different. there is a logic plugin called PSft II ( pitchshifter) and there was no need to put the autotune from antares , it did'nt make a difference in logic ..

[MikeeDwyer]

@funboxx12 The pitch draw lines are from the envelope section, which is on each track, its not actually a plug in. The auto tune is just keeping the sample in tune with the key of the song. I'm not familiar with how to do this in Logic I just know that when you start messing with the pitch it will sound out of tune with the rest unless you have some sort of pitch correction going on.

[Oxymoron808]

Are the vocals from stekla?

[MikeeDwyer]

@Oxymoron808 Sevonica is the name of the band

[DonWasaju]

wait so mike, what did the auto tune actually do? couldn't you have done it without it? you only just set the key to c?

[MikeeDwyer]

@DonWasaju If you don't use Auto Tune then the pitch won't stay in key and it will sound really bad...The Auto Tune allows it to stay within the notes of whatever Key your playing in.

[Margalus89]

this is great, did you use the acapella from that song to modificate?

[FlaFlaBigoudi]

Nice tutorial and your song sounds really good. FYI visit meldaproduction[dot]com. They have a free autotune for Mac and Pc ( plus a lot of good and free plugins) if you cannot afford the Antares one or if you don't want to spend money

[MikeeDwyer]

@FlaFlaBigoudi Nice thanks for the share

[HaveAnArtAttack]

:D You used the same little FX hit that I do! It makes that exact sound when I pause it :D

[DjAlmend]

I got blue balls when he hit pause the first time.

[DojoKogan]

damn i was hoping someone had found a glitcheout multilayered effect with Ableton exclusively and not needing a VST.

[KocaMetallec]

Sometimes I just fucking draw all around XDD

[JavierB1988]

Good idea! I think it might be better although to maybe get the recreated melody from drum rack resample it and then manipulate the pitch as an audio file instead of midi. Just so you can see all the pitch manipulation done in semtiones and not samples. Cheers for the video I had no idea about the Envelope window!!! :D

[13crapa]

BRAVO, finally someone who teach us other than 'how to wobble'. cheers from Italy.

[Coolguywhorocks]

Solid track, sounds amazing! I'm really curious how you did that drum roll at 0:40?

[sammy43baby100]

where can i download auto tune ?

[MikeeDwyer]

@sammy43baby100 if you use any torrent sites you can find a cracked version....but you didn't hear that from me

[mrwu1991]

@sammy43baby100 The Mouth by Tim Exile, is better buy it for 80$ f autotune!

[blacklovez1]

O.OI love the remix U did from them... it's just... amazing... i'll use that program 4 the rest of my life:D you're so cool mixin:D

[gosuyun]

thank you alot for your video, sounds awesome.

can you tell me what you did to the vocal to make it sound like it does in the first place?

cheers from germany!

[MikeeDwyer]

@gosuyun Just a little bit of Reverb and some Chorus. Also a some good compression and a little EQ thats it!

[Thelanaja]

Very very nice man :)
