  • Some parallel octaves at 1:40... BAD Trifonic. *naughty naughty* LMAO! Nice to see a MUSIC tutorial in the electronic music world....

  • @altosax314 oh wait I take that back! Prior to 1725-ish parallel 5ths and octaves were a very common practice in chants and plainsong. It wasn't frowned upon until tonal harmony starts to take shape in 1725 pre-classical period and after.

  • nice, I'm inspired now to try this technique out. And please don't do those 'how to make a skrillex bassline in massive vst' tutorials, there's tons of them all over youtube, and your tips are way more interesting and engaging anyway.

  • @Shemassault thanks! I don't plan on doing any Skrillex videos until Skrillex starts making videos on how to create trifonic sounds :)

  • please tutorial on basslines,excision style please please i beg u !!!!

  • @beaver12 thanks for the interest. I don't know Excision personally... so I'm not sure how he creates his basslines. I think there are a couple of threads and interviews on DOA and/or dubstepforum about Excision's sounds. Best to learn from Excision himself (via interviews etc) if possible. Good luck!

  • Hi, Trifonic - I'm a big fan, can you tell me how to make phat, wide sounding bass sounds, thank :)

  • shit this sound so good. keep it up man

    

  • how do you get that sustaining, percussive sound from what you call the "sculpture"?

  • Where can I find this Angels remix? It sounds amazing.

  • Very inspiring. Think you can do a tutorial on how to make good pad sounds?

  • I've been doing this for a while now :) I use FL and use ghost notes to make the chords with the different instruments, never knew what it was called though. I just found you on here today and you have some great tutorials. You explain things really well and have some great music.

  • Good to see you again Brian. Love form England.

  • @Enjuw An yeah if you can do a tutorial with some tricks on how you do all those clicky sound will be really fantastic. i have been always fascinated on this type of sound but i find difficult to variate and EQing in different manners how you do :) thannxxx

  • Yesss waiting a lot for your new tutorials please don't stop!!

  • i like your efforts towards independent melodic counterpoint.
