This channel is gold. Clear explanations in plain English, no hype, no BS, great editing. Keep up the great quality I'm sure you'll hit 100K soon, and thanks for creating this!
@@OscarUnderdog OMG at that time you had like 5K subs, congrats on your success, you really deserve every bit of it, thanks for spreading high quality knowledge! Keep it up! See you again at 1M subs! Respect!
Excellent instructional video! I could immediately identify the polyrhythm, but I didn't understand how easily it was created. I thought it was done using specific samples; I didn't even think about doing it the way you show. Thanks!
Again I am blown away by an incredibly clear and comprehensible video about something I consider very complicated and intense, creating music, which is why I'll be in your classes soon, Thanks Underdog.
Seriously, your production vids are absolutely the best here! The way you explain mid and upper level experience teachings in a basic way, not assuming your audience knows all the basics about production. You seem to cater in the videos to people of all levels in a way that’s totally relatable and really incorporate teaching moments. Thank you! I’ll be looking at buying something! Keep up the great work!
Swing/Shuffle/Groove whatever you may call it is the process in which these measures: 2/16. 4/16 notes for every beat in a bar is moved slightly forward giving it the feel, triplets feel, of those notes being delayed. It this subtle delay that is so pleasing to the ears. If you want to funk that groove even more you can do this by using kick drum ghost notes on these measures to enhance the overall feel of the groove. if i recall correctly on a Akai MPC's the % for that perfect triplet swing was 60%. Thank you for this informative tutorial.
Nice tutorial. Months ago I tried to reverse engineer these 16th white noise hihat grooves myself and I ended up sidechain compressing the hats by the kick. That somehow resembles your level 2 groove. But I must admit that your method is better as it does not require a compressor and offers far more ways to modulate the groove. I love the syncopated groove. Will definitely switch to that.
Pure quality. Oscar is a true legend. I've been producing for 15 years and I'm still learning new things and getting new inspiration when watching his videos. Big up! This channel definitely needs more subscribers.
When RUclips suggested me your video, I was like "What could I still learn about music?!", and 10 minutes later and with an open mouth I write this comment. Thank you for your amazing lesson!
Absolutely insane tutorial mother of god, i have been years producing and have never found a tutorial like this, or even people that I know that produce music that use this, mind blowing
Just worked out that you can add all manner of effects to this, i.e. a resonator and can change the pitches to the root of the chord to get the hihats singing... pretty nice effect that I'll have to check to see if it works well in my new production. Plenty of ways to make variations on this. Brilliant tutorial.
Thanks for this! I've been looking for ways to achieve this specific sound/effect for a while but couldn't figure out how to search for it - this is a game changer. Really appreciate that you focus on very specific sounds and ideas in each video, rather than doing full track tutorials. This helps me find and learn new tools to use without having to sit through hours of content that isn't relevent to what I'm trying to learn.
So far this is the best music teaching channel I ever seen. Clear and interesting explanations, real life applications of ideas and sounds, no boring talking, straight facts and info. Love it!
I've never thought about adding macros to my hi hats. That's a really neat and expressive idea. I know that Guy from Disclosure always adds a delay to his Hi Hats which also adds sort of like invisible off the grid groove
When you have no inspiration for a “groove”, an interesting thing to do is use Velocity MIDI effect, put it to Fixed and random (between 20 and 100 for example), record a long time of hi hats then look for an interesting velocity pattern of 1, 2 or 4 bars
When you have no inspiration for a "groove" you're in the wrong game. If you don't groove, you don't get house and techno. Stop trying and stick to big room cheese.
@@calebainsworth7247 yes because obviously, every house and techno producer never lack of inspiration.. 🧐 Also this is a tutorial for beginners and/or amateurs... people do not necessarily produce music for other people
I’ve only recently discovered the channel myself. Such great content and well explained with relative examples. Especially enjoyed the polyrhythms vid 👍
No matter how hard we try, the good old silky sizzling hihats cannot be replaced by anything ..But what you re doing is impressive dough.. golden content..💯👌👍
Fantastic. for someone like myself re-introducing themselves to electronic music after a long hiatus, this was clear, concise, easy to understand and fun. thanks for sharing the joy.
M4live LFO on random mode with a little bit of jitter modulating hihat's velocity and resample it in a 4/8/16 bar loop works very good as well, of course modulating decay time is essential to. Didn't know about that shift shortcut for swing, thank you very mucho 😉
Oscar, I cant only say CONGRATULATIONS for such a spectacular collection of video tutorials you are making in this channel. It will be a must for everyone in a few years, time will tell but I'm sure.
I'm becoming a big fan of these videos. Such clear and straight to the point demos of very handy techniques. I only use hardware and have learned loads, these skills are very easily transferable to gear. Thanks for such a good strong effort and treat yourself to a well earned pat on the back.
You're the best RUclips music teacher ! Loud and clear 🙂 one thing at a time, but details covered, not super speedy Ableton demo. Awesome channel and lots of works I guess. Cheers from France 😃
Amazing channel! I'm actually learning how to use synthesizers for the first time ever. Goes to show: it's not what you say but the way you say it. Something about Oscar's way of explaining things is really sinking in for me. Great teacher! Thanks Oscar.
Only came across your channel yesterday and can honestly say you've got some of the most well explained, clear tutorials I've watched. Keep up the good work man.
I used to get that sound with just delay effects set at triplet time. It sounds much more organic and fluid than constructing 16th midi notes. A similar concept is used by guitarist The Edge (U2) to give that larger than life sound.

I cant recall how many times i keep revisiting this video
You're welcome every time 🐭
🙏🙏💝@@OscarUnderdog
This may very well be the best production tutorial channel on RUclips.
making funky hihats is the best part of making drums for your track
This guy is clearly a master of his craft. So helpful
“I’m just gonna give it some groovy colors, coz, we groovy like that” love it
I didn't know it's every second note, that's big for making your own and having it change
Best tutorials for producing on RUclips

@@OscarUnderdog doubled it and not stopping! LETS GOO
this whole chanel is pure gold, just outstanding
That velocity was not exaggerated. For me... it was perfect. Love this channel.
Everyone is already saying it, but really, thank you for the to-the-point explanations. I've been up to my nuts with overly wordy tutorials.
Big thank you Oscar!

Hahahaha cheers 😂
Simple, effective, good-sounding hats! Thank you
I’ve been making music for 15 years and this is a cut above - extremely concise and the theory is all there even in such minimal explanations👌
So niiiiice 🤍
Groovy 😃
I love watching these tutorials. Because they are explained so clearly, the viewer can easily see how these techniques apply to other genres.
I'm so glad i found you...i like the way you explain...without trying to be clever. Just being a good teacher. Thank you
superb legendary tutorial thank you Oscar
What a legend
Can't wait to use this technique.
Brilliant! Thank you

MAGISTRAL vídeo , amo tu pedagogía oscar , gracias! Amor desde valencia, España 🇪🇸

Awesome Tutorial (Y) Using a Operator to Soundesign own Shakers and Hats is Amazing. Thank you !
Maaan, I would like to give you hug, I'm very thankful for what your doing for all of us 🙌🏽🕉️

I don’t subscribe to many channels but this channel has really good value. Well presented!
Love this tutorial, explains in plain English and easy steps. Thanks man, keep up the great work.
Simply, understandable and accessible. Thank you for this and for your time
Wicked episode! Thanks Oscar!
Thanks Tomasz :D
14:09 - excellent example of how Maceo Plex creates the groove for Solitary Daze
Expressive groove, amazing, been looking for this for a long time. THANKS
When you have no inspiration for a “groove”, an interesting thing to do is use Velocity MIDI effect, put it to Fixed and random (between 20 and 100 for example), record a long time of hi hats then look for an interesting velocity pattern of 1, 2 or 4 bars
Love that - using curated randomness is a super powerful philosophy.
Great rick also . Thanks.

@Caleb Ainsworth Everything is learned, even grooves 🙂
This is one of the clearest and best tutorials on this topic I've found. How do you possibly have less than 400 subs!?
I only just started, you're an early adapter!!!😄
@@OscarUnderdog keep up this level of quality and you will match ADSR and Dubspot soon enough.
I’ve only recently discovered the channel myself. Such great content and well explained with relative examples. Especially enjoyed the polyrhythms vid 👍
O
Keep it a secret!
Nice video bro!! Thanks for the knowledge
I aim to please ✌
I’ve learned more about programming drums and percussion in 3 of your tutorials than 100 others put together. 🔥
That's actually incredible how well you've recreated Maceo Plex's sound there in a seemingly straightforward tutorial. Great stuff man!
Best new techno channel on RUclips. Hats off sir. Keep em coming
goedemorgen Oscar, wederom bedankt voor deze video
Also my compliments for this tutorial!
Very well put together video. There's a 5th way - Just putting the 3rd 16th hats and adding a delay gives the same effect.
just getting into music production and your videos are the best. Thank you
No matter how hard we try, the good old silky sizzling hihats cannot be replaced by anything ..But what you re doing is impressive dough.. golden content..💯👌👍

Brilliant. Using this for sure. Thanks Oscar.
This is pure genius, thanks so much for all the tips! That is a revolution for my hats (Chapeau bas Monsieur)
We all know this channel is gonna blow up…!
Thanks Oscar, I really learnt the groovy Hi-hats today. thanks again
I don't work with DAW's, but I applied your concepts on a Keystep Pro. Fun stuff!
I always find your tutorials real world practical advice! 👍🏽🙏🏽🇬🇧
