hey! thanks for this extensive tutorial.. Is there a reason why you keep the synth oscillators at the higher octaves and play in the lower notes? Is there a difference or is it just preference? thanks again!

I prefer to use the MIDI notes in the right octaves for the pitch they play, there's no difference technically, I just prefer to keep the note registers correct.

Im working in cubase, I'm having trouble getting the LFO sync rate to actually do anything. It works when sync is off and I change the rate, but when the sync is on and I change the ratio nothing happens. Any help would be great, your videos are awesome.

[thesoundtutor]

Do you have cubase playing int he background? I think sync won't run unlessthe transport is active as it's used for the syncs timing

POS button was added in a later update. You should update your Massive version to 1.3.

How old are you? :L

[ThreeSC]

i feel like there is something missing from video 5 to this one. it sounds like it already has some LFO even tho u havent covered that yet o.0

[TEZZLE27]

i dont have a pos button for some reason, anyway you can help?

[gerdoyle]

Really really helpful tutorial, except I got this far and messed up my sound and I can't get it back to the "right" sound *goes back to video 1* :P

Hey great tutorial, thank you for the upload!

I am having a problem though. I'm working in Logic 9 and I followed this tutorial to this point and when I drag Env 2 into the Filter 1 and apply the cutoff, I can hear my bass note and then I hear a later fade in in the background instead of just a fade into the bass note.

Your bass just fades in without any other noise. I'm wondering what I could possibly be doing wrong. Any help?!
