Hey, have you thought about a guide about finding and developing the groove, building on it? I find your music very rhythmically interesting, so your input on this subject would be extremely interesing in my opinion:3
Thanks for watching :) And amazing idea, my plan was anyways to prepare some vids about my harmonic and rhythmical knowledge which I transfer into my productions. So I'll definitely go for your suggestion :)
Top, richtig erfrischend. Ohne Materialschlacht von sauteuren Synthis sondern das, was eben da ist mit einigen add-ons. Und die Pflanzen haben es komplett rausgerissen :D
Wow! Thank you for sharing. Videos like this (and personalities like yours) spread so much positive energy and inspiration. We need more people like you 😊
Some great mastery of operator here. You really know your way around that synth. Great to see you using so many stock plugins too, it shows that you can create great music with stock synths and fx.
Thanks so much for sharing! I love mixing your tunes, they always take you on such a lovely atmospheric journey. Works well in so many different types of sets.
very nice walkthrough of a beautiful track! Would love to see/hear more of this! Inspiring me to go back into the box after being out for a while, or at least try a more hybridized setup
@@flomoller6096 Oh das ist ein sehr alter Track, vielleicht werde ich zeigen, wie ich ihn heutzutage neu mischen würde. Denn das Projekt entspricht definitiv nicht mehr den heutigen Standards ;)
How did I not know about QEONE? I'd heard Dycide: Carnyx but didn't realize this is your own label. Some very nice releases here. "iunua" is lovely -- maybe my favourite of yours since Bloom.
Amazing :) I am sure you'll create some neat stereo elements hehe. I might do another video on some techniques one can use to create a wide stereo from mono signals. Could be fun :)
@@ryefieldsociety7325 Yeah that's actually a bit more complicated as we are three peeps with quite different ways of working. But let's see, maybe we can realize sth :)
Woow this is incredible. Thank you so much for sharing your experience to the world. Im a big fan of your talent and OMG youre giving us the opportunity to learn about the way you interpret music, is fascinating. Lots of love vines for you. Greatings from Mexico
Thanks a lot for this wonderful video! Lovely to see your process and workflow:) It would be amazing if you could dive a bit deeper into operators capabilities. Specifically creating those woody,watery and trippy textures with it.
Well, it's on my todo since months now. Always slightly too busy but I try my best to realize it as soon as possible :) Hopefully by the end of Feb or Beginning of March.
The stereo effect is often lost when tracks are being played in clubs or other parties for multiple reasons. 1. many people who frequent techno events often prefer to dance right against the bass bins (yes most of the people I know that I know wear hearing protection.) so if they are right in front the left stack they arent experiencing the stereo effects. 2. at clubs that dont exclusively cater to the techno, dnb, dub, trance crowd they often have satalite speakers located throughout the club. The installation of these speakers are often an afterthought and they rarely are summed to be mono, and with music that has elements that werent checked for mono compatibility often ends up just not playing out of half the speakers in the club. and 3. Often large soundsystems set up for techno are setup in mono specifically so that the first reason isnt an issue. Im sure you check for mono compatibility when it comes to your tracks, but regardless if you check, if you are expecting that stereo image to be a build a sense of energy or tension when played in a club dont couunt on that. I definately have bought tracks thinking that the stereo image created in tracks was awesome, and then hear that not be present in the club, and its a massive letdown.
Yes you are right, but because of that it makes sense to always prepare the tracks with mono compatibility but also don't miss out on stereo because there are definitely also occasions in which the listening situation is another one like online mixes or regular streaming on home speakers or headphones. And then mono sounds pretty one dimensional to me. I think both has to be considered and therefore I prefer to produce so that it suits both situations perfectly :)
@@polygonia8301 I figured you knew that, although I felt it was something that people watching the video should know especially people who haven't DJ'd many proper gigs
@@donnydarko7624 Yeah absolutely, I'll create a video in which I'll talk about the stereo topic also in reference to the club compatibility. Thanks for your input!
really fantastic. I've been listening to alot of Amapiano, and finding alot of what you would expect to be 4 on the floor kicks is sonically being taken up by the wooden percussion sounds and usually a really deep sub bass. Your point on using alot of modulation is a really important key point here - if you want things to sound "organic" you need to create alot of movement. One thing I like to do is use the Ableton Erosion module, and modulate that which creates some interesting noise and tonal changes over time that works especially well with drums.
small question, im just getting into mono/stereo processing now so have been experimenting with mid/side, summing to mono, and duplicating mono signals and panning them to make them stereo. how much delay would you recommend doing when panning two mono signals into the stereo field? is there a limit to how much you should offset or is that just taste.
I will create a video in which I explain in detail which techniques you can use to make things sound stereo :) There are several ways to achieve it. When you do it as you described, it's not as effective as some other tricks. That what you're creating is basically a phaser. what you really want is not only duplicating the same signal and delaying it, but also changing the signal a little bit, so that the phase is not the same anymore. You don't even need to delay it. And in the best case you not only duplicate but use four tracks instead, all having a slightly different signal. Then the stereo is much bigger and has more depth.
@polygonia8301 Thank you for the reply. The terminology with stereo can get quite confusing, so an in-depth video there would be amazing for me. For example, is the mid in mid side just a mono signal? And what effects I can place on each panned signal without bouncing them to differentiate them. And also what elements of the Track to completely mono, keep stereo, or sum mono and re-widen. So many questions, thanks for the knowledge!
spannend! organic sound indeed. Does the session view have any place in your production workflow? i tend to start there, and end in the arranger. Although i prefer Bitwig nowadays, since it has vertical scenes :) Grüße aus München
Yes Bitwig is amazing. Going to look into that later this year as well. :) I use the session view mainly for my live sets. Since I am always arranging from the beginning on to speed up my production process, I tend to always use the arrangement view. I think the session view is great for exploring and building some nice loops. But as I do so much with automation curves right from the start, I definitely prefer the arrangement view for my work flow.
Thank you so much for making this! Just found your music, and loving your sound. It would be amazing to get a closer look into Meteor Storm, especially that huge synth sound. Thank you 🏆
Lovely to read! Really happy you enjoyed that one. And yes I will probably explain my project for Meteor storm as well, this came up here several times now :)
Amazing video thank you so much for spending the time on this 💙. Would really love to see you break down one of your ambient tracks and how you manipulate vocals :)
You are great! I found you a week or two back due to this video. I was intrigued by the use of wooden instruments in your work. I am now a fan. I love the music videos you are putting out. I love what you do. I already purchased a couple albums of yours and would like to know which album has the wooded instruments so I can buy. Thank you!
Hello! Very happy to read that you emjoy my music. Thanks for listening :) This is the compilation with the wooden track: qeone.bandcamp.com/album/glyphs-wood
@@polygonia8301 Thank you so much! You are a true lover of rhythm and have an amazing talent for it. I am trying to make music tracts as well. I will be watching any lessens you have because I love your sound. I hope you don’t get tired of it!
Really appreciate you making this video - I love this sound and it’s always been a little puzzling to me as a producer and percussionist - especially all the stereo processing going on.
Hello, i'm super interested in your mixing habits. Especially for the masterchannel: Do you care about -6 db headroom or just lower the masterbus or the utility before sending to mastering and so on. Thanks you so much and sending a big hug.
Will share an in depth video about my mixing technique. I am currently waiting for a software to be finished which we are currently developing for exactly that purpose ;) will create the video afterwards.
Utility is definitely best for any volume adjustments. Also, I have a simple rack I made with only one Utility, but the difference is I mapped it to max out at zero dB for the many situations where I automate volume only one way (down)
Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge...... Massive fan :) I was wondering what your thoughts are on reverb? As I saw very little reverb implemented in your project. Are you recording your sounds with any reverb etc? Or do you keep reverb to a minimum to get a cleaner mix? Any insight would be amazing. Also super keen to hear your thoughts harmony and rhythm. Thanks for the beautiful music and helping us out. 🥰
Hello dear :) Thanks so much for your fruitful comment! Yes indeed, I keep reverb at a minimum and only use it there where I really want to have it as an accent. I think it adds too much mud/noise and makes things less 'readable' for the listener, so yeah it's actually really bad for the mix if it's more wet than dry. In my work I want to use reverb to create a space, but that can be done by a very small amount of wet signal. Reverb also destroys transients - I want my percs and drums to punch to make people really dance and feel the beat. With loads of reverb on them, it looses the groove very fast. I can also record a video in which I speak about that and show some examples in my tracks. I have some ideas how I could also experiment with it to show what I mean :) And about harmony and rhythm, yes it's actually my plan to show producers who don't have knowledge of those topics some basic stuff to improve their game. Thanks for popping by and for listening to my music, it means a lot 🥰
@@polygonia8301 Yes please that would be absolutely amazing. Played some of your tracks last weekend out in a beautiful part of nature where I live in Australia. People loved them, trees too probably. :)
This is brilliant and I'd love to watch more from you. Did any of the other artists (other than Mordio) break down their approaches for this compilation? How can we find these if so?
Thanks for tuning in :) There is one other production inside video for a track of this VA by FTP Doctor: ruclips.net/video/CSYvUVkzy6g/видео.htmlsi=QstSCpDlA5d21sRb The others explained insights via screenshots and texts via our label instagram profile: instagram.com/qeone.rec/
Hi - I discovered you through your track "Mind Alteration". Your work is immense. It was a pleasant surprise to find you are using software only - I thought you might have an army of Elektron machines. Thank you for posting this insight into your work. Did you get the lovely watery sounds in "Mind Alteration" using Ableton stock filter and the Phaser/Flanger? it would be great to make sounds so watery and organic...
Lovely to hear that you enjoy my sounds. Yes I am software only and I love it haha :D No need to spend any money at all for good quality sounds. There are actually tons of techniques to let your music sound watery. I will do a little video about this too when I find time to do the next one.
@polygonia8301 It might sound a bit weird but I love watery sounds and bubbly sounds, have been on a quest for a while trying to learn how to make them... The watery sounds you create are among the best I have heard. I am really looking forward to that video! - thank you so much.
@@AllSeeingIrishMan Lovely, it's my recent track for Fur:ther Sessions called Flumen. You can support it here: furthersessions.bandcamp.com/album/vivendum-3
ahhhh you're so good!! I bought your Da Nao Tian Gong EP a couple weeks back and play all of the tracks every time I spin at home. Magical music, thank you. Will be purchasing Vivendum 3 today :)@@polygonia8301
I’ve been looking through your works for a while now and I’m curious to know what music gear you find yourself using ? Definitely interested and curious!
As I want to avoid any harsh peaks which will be problematic in the mastering afterwards. I use limiters only in that way that the clipping is not hearable and the unwanted peaks are still cut. Of course I don't want the signal to be undynamic, but I also don't want it to be too dynamic. It always depends a bit on the usecase. Sometimes it can be a nice choice of style to use a heavy limiter as well.
I don't play my tracks live actually, I play completely different material in my live sets. I am iteratively working on these, so that it never sounds the same.
Thank you for sharing this, it was such a pleasure to watch! I love your music and to see your process and hear about how you think about the different components of the composition really gives me a much deeper appreciation. I’d love to hear more about your process(es) and methodologies for starting and finishing tracks. Given your limited time to produce, I’m sure you’ve worked out some great practices in this regard :) Very much looking forward to more of your videos!
Id like to give a tipp on your automation drawing at ~ 13:50. I would use the shaper lfo thing because you can automate the offset, jitter, depth and stuff. I know it is pure shit and its fucking frustrating that it doesnt have vertical grid but anyways i llike to use it on fileposition too on granulator. also you can draw in random shit, then map the phase to macro and press random until you like the sound (ofc add other effects with lfo's and also map them to macros to randomise all at once). I feel like that is a cheat code to happy accidents because you dont have to take so much time to turn all the knobs individually.
Yes I know that one, it’s handy sometimes. I actually love to also vary my curves at some spots for example and for that purpose it‘s a bit more easy to do it like I did. That could also be achievable by using various shapers and turning them on and off. But sometimes I feel more flexible when I draw that in the automation curve section directly. It depends a bit on what you want to achieve in the end. :) thanks for your fruitful comment, I am sure some producers here appreciate your tip 🌸
No, I am just too lazy to plug all synths, spend huge amounts of money and make space for them etc. I am very satisfied with my computer as I am a pc nerd. For my part I prefer it as i feel very free like this. It's a matter of individual taste I think. The result is that what counts in the end :)
@@polygonia8301fair enough! I can see the appeal of just having your laptop and not being attached to "the studio". I had a slow computer when I started to make music and naturally drifted towards carrying out the bulk of composition and sound design on hardware because hey, it doesn't run out of cpu and stutter. I think I would have to do a lot of intermediate bounces in order to pull off some of longer processing chains like in your project. It's fun to see other people's workflows.
@@personnealienee Haha yeah well I have several computers and many acoustic instruments standing and hanging around actually. So it's still feeling like a proper studio with proper acoustic and greaet monitors from my point of view. I am not really digging the laptop lifestyle, that's only me on tour. I work on a tower PC at home ;) And of course, producing on a shitty computer is no fun at all :) Also with a small laptop screen it's really annoying. I prefer the nerd space ship ;)

@@polygonia8301 Yes please that would be absolutely amazing.
Played some of your tracks last weekend out in a beautiful part of nature where I live in Australia. People loved them, trees too probably. :)
Keep it up. It's very interesting.)
Thanks a lot :)
This is brilliant and I'd love to watch more from you. Did any of the other artists (other than Mordio) break down their approaches for this compilation? How can we find these if so?
Thanks for tuning in :)
There is one other production inside video for a track of this VA by FTP Doctor: ruclips.net/video/CSYvUVkzy6g/видео.htmlsi=QstSCpDlA5d21sRb
The others explained insights via screenshots and texts via our label instagram profile:

Hi - I discovered you through your track "Mind Alteration". Your work is immense. It was a pleasant surprise to find you are using software only - I thought you might have an army of Elektron machines. Thank you for posting this insight into your work. Did you get the lovely watery sounds in "Mind Alteration" using Ableton stock filter and the Phaser/Flanger? it would be great to make sounds so watery and organic...
Lovely to hear that you enjoy my sounds. Yes I am software only and I love it haha :D No need to spend any money at all for good quality sounds.
There are actually tons of techniques to let your music sound watery. I will do a little video about this too when I find time to do the next one.
@polygonia8301 It might sound a bit weird but I love watery sounds and bubbly sounds, have been on a quest for a while trying to learn how to make them... The watery sounds you create are among the best I have heard. I am really looking forward to that video! - thank you so much.
Just discovered you, great productions and that HOR set is really something, congrats! any chance you could reveal the ID on the track at 35 mins.
Which hör set do you mean? I can give you the ID if you tell me which one :)
@@polygonia8301 It's the Octobre 21st 2023 set, the track comes in it a 33 mins, the sound design is incredible, thank you for get back to me!! :D
@@AllSeeingIrishMan Lovely, it's my recent track for Fur:ther Sessions called Flumen. You can support it here: furthersessions.bandcamp.com/album/vivendum-3
ahhhh you're so good!! I bought your Da Nao Tian Gong EP a couple weeks back and play all of the tracks every time I spin at home. Magical music, thank you. Will be purchasing Vivendum 3 today :)@@polygonia8301
I’ve been looking through your works for a while now and I’m curious to know what music gear you find yourself using ? Definitely interested and curious!
I use Ableton only and love to record my acoustic instruments plus my voice. But voila, that's all :)
Ooooh this is awesome! I noticed you do limiter on hihat & shaker tracks. I'm very curious why 😊
As I want to avoid any harsh peaks which will be problematic in the mastering afterwards. I use limiters only in that way that the clipping is not hearable and the unwanted peaks are still cut. Of course I don't want the signal to be undynamic, but I also don't want it to be too dynamic. It always depends a bit on the usecase. Sometimes it can be a nice choice of style to use a heavy limiter as well.
@@polygonia8301 I see, thanks for explaining - huge fan!
@@clarkflavor Thanks !!
How do you play it live? 😊
I don't play my tracks live actually, I play completely different material in my live sets. I am iteratively working on these, so that it never sounds the same.
Thank you for sharing this, it was such a pleasure to watch! I love your music and to see your process and hear about how you think about the different components of the composition really gives me a much deeper appreciation. I’d love to hear more about your process(es) and methodologies for starting and finishing tracks. Given your limited time to produce, I’m sure you’ve worked out some great practices in this regard :) Very much looking forward to more of your videos!
Thanks for tuning in. Very happy to read your words! As soon as I find the time, I'll do more of those videos :)
Id like to give a tipp on your automation drawing at ~ 13:50. I would use the shaper lfo thing because you can automate the offset, jitter, depth and stuff. I know it is pure shit and its fucking frustrating that it doesnt have vertical grid but anyways i llike to use it on fileposition too on granulator. also you can draw in random shit, then map the phase to macro and press random until you like the sound (ofc add other effects with lfo's and also map them to macros to randomise all at once). I feel like that is a cheat code to happy accidents because you dont have to take so much time to turn all the knobs individually.
Yes I know that one, it’s handy sometimes. I actually love to also vary my curves at some spots for example and for that purpose it‘s a bit more easy to do it like I did. That could also be achievable by using various shapers and turning them on and off. But sometimes I feel more flexible when I draw that in the automation curve section directly. It depends a bit on what you want to achieve in the end. :)
thanks for your fruitful comment, I am sure some producers here appreciate your tip 🌸
HITTER!!!
Thanks for popping by :)
YeaH!
:)
@@polygonia8301 looking forward to your next exploration, if you plan on doing another one, dizl ;)
cool! pitch shifters can go a long way when abused, can't they? :D why do you stay away from hardware? dislike the lack of control?
No, I am just too lazy to plug all synths, spend huge amounts of money and make space for them etc. I am very satisfied with my computer as I am a pc nerd. For my part I prefer it as i feel very free like this. It's a matter of individual taste I think. The result is that what counts in the end :)
@@polygonia8301fair enough! I can see the appeal of just having your laptop and not being attached to "the studio". I had a slow computer when I started to make music and naturally drifted towards carrying out the bulk of composition and sound design on hardware because hey, it doesn't run out of cpu and stutter. I think I would have to do a lot of intermediate bounces in order to pull off some of longer processing chains like in your project. It's fun to see other people's workflows.
@@polygonia8301 anyway, big fan of your precise sound design since Deformed Human Nature !
@@personnealienee Haha yeah well I have several computers and many acoustic instruments standing and hanging around actually. So it's still feeling like a proper studio with proper acoustic and greaet monitors from my point of view. I am not really digging the laptop lifestyle, that's only me on tour. I work on a tower PC at home ;)
And of course, producing on a shitty computer is no fun at all :) Also with a small laptop screen it's really annoying. I prefer the nerd space ship ;)
@@personnealienee aaw that's lovely to hear! Thanks a lot for your support!
