  • Synth guru, professional sound designer and DJ Francis Prève explains how listening is the most important part of his work. In conversation with Create Digital Music's Peter Kirn, Prève also demonstrates the methods he uses to reverse-engineer everything from discrete elements within recorded music to the environmental ambiences of his “scapes” art form.
    Read the accompanying article on Create Digital Music:

    this is so awesome! exactly what I was looking for, a dude who comprehensively explains how to synthesize all sorts of sounds and can break down every sound he hears by it's 'physical' components, and then also explain it well. Thank you soo so much

      That is perfect. pepper is good, but not too much. I can eat sugar all day, give me that reverb. butter is very versatile and can be used in a lot of dishes. chorus is versatile.

    I agree with the importance of controlled experimentation, but I think chaos is what helps us make discoveries. I guess its the contrast of both those elements working together. Only in a controlled experiment can you introduce chaos one parameter at a time so you can get something from it.

    Beautiful and inspiring talk. "If you can't do it twice there's no learning" - sort of disagree with this sentence. Beautiful music also comes from happy accidents and randomly-programmed environments. That's the word: 'programmed'. Randomly programmed means you have no control over the actual contents you'll be exposed to, but you do have control over the processes, i.e. the actual decision to set a random environment has been deliberately made by you, upon your on decision. With such rich and unexpected results, the skill becomes to decide what to keep. Among the beauties of electronic music is the fact that you can go beyond your own personal skills and predictions (both motor and cognitive), something that traditional instruments such as piano or guitar cannot provide you with. Even though you will not be able to achieve that specific sound twice, in between there's actual learning: you are learning what to preserve.

    • @stretch1807
      @stretch1807 2 года назад +2

      I completely agree. "If you can't do it twice, there's no learning" indicates a schism between "learning" and "experience." But of course, the experience of experimentation is very real and valid learning, even if the derived experience cannot be exactly replicated.

    I've 25 years in audio post production. I'd have to do something about heavy-breather before leaving the shop. He sounds like someone just slapped a noise gate on him and didn't set it very well. Sometimes you just have to knuckle-down and go in there manually and fix things.

    around 32:00 really opened up my eyes. I usually am guilty of "experimenting". However, after watching/listening...I will never do this again. lol

    • @francispreve
      @francispreve 6 лет назад +9

      Phil, if you're just getting started, here's a useful way to experiment and learn more about your synths: Take an LFO and assign it to *one* parameter at a time while listening to its effect on that specific parameter.
      For example, start with a default preset, assign a single LFO to pitch, and set the LFO waveform to triangle. Then, adjust the LFO rate and depth and examine how the pitch behaves. From there, switch to a different LFO waveform and repeat the process, sticking with pitch as your destination.
      After you've got a feel for this, change the LFO destination to amplifier/volume and do the same experiment.
      Next, assign it to filter cutoff (which is the most fun, btw)
      This is a practical method for using experimentation to discover new skills that you can apply elsewhere. Cheers!
