"Here's a kinky little wavetable" :D
Create a twitch channel and Bob Ross followers will jump from it.

Please! Continue this as a series, it rules.
Yes please, this is definitely gonna help me with serum !
How is this comment 2 days old?
@@brinco3 Patreon! Jeremy occasionally posts stuff early for patrons.
yes please, ive just been introduced to synthwave and i really want to learn synthesis lol
what he said
The only thing I would add, which will make this slightly more complicated, is that pianos don’t have harmonics. Pianos have partials. Pianos are inharmonic. I’m a piano tuner. Still, I love this video. It really makes sense out of the basics of sound design.
That actually very interesting … thanks for the spark of curiousity now i must go and research this👍
Okay I looked this up, and it seems like that pianos ARE inharmonic because of the stiffness of the strings, but the partials are still just the overtone/harmonic series even if they’ll be a bit out of tune.
"You can recreate (theoretically) any sound by using sine waves". Additive synthesis is gold
Let go of your existential dread with Jeremy explaining sounds ✨
Why not enjoy both?
@@roryjineffect Best of both worlds
Reminds me of The midnight gospel's "Annihilation of Joy" episode.
@@vetiarvind Out of many very good episodes of a very good show, that one is maybe my very favorite
Joseph Fourier 🤝 Jeremy Blake
"everything becomes sine waves if you believe"
More like "if you filter it enough'"
this is legitimately the best explanation of basic sound design concepts I've ever seen. incredible work dude
Jeremy, no cap, your channel is phenomenal. It's not always a given that someone can translate their talents and deep knowledge into an engaging, understandable and educational format. Talented people aren't always talented teachers. But you really crush it. Every time. This video came up on my feed today and I'm like, "OK, we gotta get this dude a key to the city, any city, just give him his due!!!!!!"
"A sine wave is a pure expression of tone" , that's beautifully put
I think you missed an opportunity to talk about "distance". A high pass filter often moves a sound much "farther away". A low pass sends it to an "adjacent room". Its the combination of low, mids, and highs of a sound that allow to sit at a certain distance from the listener. ...this is a nitpick. What a wonderful video! Added to my favorites to reference later! :)
RUclips genuinely made it possible for anyone anywhere to contribute to the legacy of music and for that I thank you sir
I'm down for a FM video in this format
Yeah I gotta talk some fm it's fun.
@@RedMeansRecording please do! Id love to learn about Fm
Yes af
@@RedMeansRecording fm would be great, I've looked into it and it seems interesting but there's not much usable info out there outside of the very basics
@@RedMeansRecording Nice! I'll subscribe then :) FM synthesis is a topic that keeps coming up and I still know very little about it. With the software I've built I can modulate the frequency, but I don't know of any specific process to exploit this 'properly'. But that's also part of the fun isn't it? Learning by experimentation.
I had so many eargasms while listening to this!
For realll 😭
I've been watching music production videos for years without any "official" starting point and this is honestly the absolute best video I've ever seen. It's usually just someone with lots of experience kind of doing what sounds good to them, which is VERY hard to get across to somebody with zero intuition. This video fills in so many gaps! Thanks Jeremy
Excellently done, most synth tutorials explain the basic waves and ADSR then end it there. Harmonics get a mention but they don't spend any time detailing their relationship with modulation, meaning a beginner gets to the end and isn't any better off. This is the better way to teach it.
Wanna echo what everybody has said, the gift of conveying knowledge is very rare and you have nailed it. Thanks.
Pigments is the perfect synth for explaining this stuff, so clear and nice. The same could be said about Jeremy.
Very nice. For me as a synthesist of 20 years, this video was a great example of how getting back to basics, revisiting the things you thought you knew but from a new teacher can yield new insights or inspiration. Always keep the beginner's mind, no matter your skill level!
I've said it before and it's still true, this channel is like having a scented candle in the room
I need an "Everything becomes sine waves if you believe" cross-stitch for my residence. that's such a perfect line, lol.
Super useful video! Nicely done! :D
Around 16:00 the fact that not only the amplitude of a sound has to change, but also the HARMONIC nature has to change blew my mind!!! 🤯🤯🤯
I've really just been using the amplitude envelope and not thought about how the filter envelope can really change the timbre! Love the way you walked through this dude.
I'm going to buy a t-shirt. Your video rules! Nobody explains all of this quite the way you do .
Fantastic as always!
I have studied these concepts all the way back to the early 70s, starting with my 1st synth. Moog Sonic. I think that was what it was called. Seeing the frequency analyzer in conjunction with the various waves, really makes the music universe become more CLEAR. Nice job!
I love this video! Very informative! Thank you for all you do!
This was great, Jeremy. Thank you.
This was dope!! Nice work.
This is flipping fantastic. Please continue this series! Ahhhhhh! Yes yes yes!
This is wonderful, Jeremy! Thank you very much!
Great tutorial, as always Jeremy!
Please continue! I would watch the whole series multiple times. This is precious.
Your videos always make my day. Thanks for the tutorial and the chill vibes
I needed this more than I knew. Jeremy, thank you. You are a star. More of these educationals please.
this is exactly what I was looking for !! thank you so much
Great work. Appreciate the detail. This has helped me a lot.
awesome guide! and awesome choice to show on, loving pigments too!
Love these types of videos! I always leave them with not just new knowledge but so many ideas of how to apply that knowledge to my music!
Another master class in sound making. Love the clear instruction and humor throughout.
That was absolutely killer my brother, thanks for the lesson. 🙏
Great video, I'd love to see more of this kind of videos in your channel this was an awesome explanation
Wow thank you so much. This was incredibly well done. Thank you!
i dont think ive made a youtube comment in YEARS, but this is exactly what i have been looking for. im new to producing and making sounds that i hear in my head is often pointless and i get dragged into loading basic sine and squard waves with unreasonable amounts of effects until i get bored and stop trying to make anything. no other sound design tutorials on this site do a better job of exactly how to go from having a sound in your head to actually creating it. i will most likely be spending alot of time viewing your content as i start learning to produce! :)
This is a perfect combination of incredibly soothing and wildly informative, and I love it.
THIS IS EVERYTHING I NEED THANK YOU AND MORE PLEASE
This turned out to also be a fantastic pigments tutorial. Thanks so much Jeremy. This entire video was amazing.
Really great tutorial!! One of the best I have seen about sound design.
Please do more of these. This was so helpful
Really really well edited. Awesome lesson pace and great audio! Thanks for your work !
Please continue! Extremely helpful!
This is probably one of the best and most useful synthesis videos I've ever seen, thank you so much
that was awesome! thanks a lot for your effort 🙏
Man you explain synthesis so well. Some new things just clicked for me thanks to video.
Excellent explanations and tutorial. +1 for using Pigments 👍 Great sounding synth with a great UI and bags of potential.
I have popcorn ready when watching your videos 🍿, always a great watch, thanks Jeremy.
I love wavetables. Especially the ones in the Hydrasynth. Thanks for the awesome inspiration. This was a fresh video. Great value. Keep em coming
This was so helpful. I've seen content about overtones before but the visual aids you used made this finally click. Thanks!
This is so much a great video ! Thanks you !
This was fantastic!
Probably the best explanation of subtractive synthesis that I have ever seen! Thanks Jeremy!
yesss! i've been wanting to know this for years.
You just rule Jeremy. Thank you so much for your effort and time creating such high quality and educational content.
The best Chanel to learn and get inspired! Thank you Jeremy you rock
this was simply lovely! incredibly informative but also just really nice on the ears and awesome seeing how these different types of sounds ive been hearing for so long are actually created without me really knowing a lick browsing through presets, thank you for this!
What a fantastic video, probably my favorite of your entire channel! I would love to see more videos like this where you take a deeper dive into sound design, maybe an episode all about FM or one all about wavetable and the things you can do to finely craft sounds you want
Really impressive overview. Not only an amazing musician, a great teacher too.
Probably the best tutorial of this type that I have seen and I have seen many.
Jeremy FTW again! Love how you give use cases for each type of sound. 👍
YES! Thanks Jeremy! I would love to see more sound design videos. Specifically, interesting things you can do past modulating the filter, pitch, and low hanging options.
What a solid video, breaking down these basic fundamentals & making this super easy to learn! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
This is perfect, thank you.
Incredible. This was so good, and helpful, thank you.
THIS IS SUCH AN INCREDIBLE AND INSPIRING TUTORIAL!!!!
jeremy, this video is exactly what i've been looking for. You really explained it so well, your pacing and tone are spot on here, easy to follow and easy to understand, not to slow and not to fast. just spot on! thank you! Really !
Love the IDEA!! gonna watch it later but already taken away!
Damn, never seen such a good basic explanation of synth sound design. Awesome dude! Will definitely help me with creating the sounds that I have in my head
At least one is staying on earth...thank you for this. Appreciate it
This cleared up so many things at the fundamentals level. I now have a much greater appreciation of my filter. Thank you!
Amazing explanations!
Today I was thinking about such a video. Thanks for this :D
Amazing video, thank you.
My man, as I wanted to search for a video like this, right then I saw you uploaded this one.. Your new album is a killer! Thank you for that. Hope you're doing great!
Incredibly incredibly helpful
This video is amazing. Thank you!
Well done. Useful. Informative. High signal to noise. In depth.
Great approach to looking at sound synthesis. I've learnt a lot, thank you very much!
Hi, Jeremy! You’re the coolest, man. Keep it up; you’re giving me LIFE😎
This is EXACTLY the run down I've been looking for! Subbed!
Truly outstanding. Thank you for pulling something very complex together in one spot. Your ability to detail and explain without overwhelming is difficult to match.
Always love your videos, easy to listen to. =]
Beautifully described and presented. Really interesting :)
So much interesting stuff in this video. It gave me a lot of ideas. Great job thanks a lot !!
Phenomenal video!!!! That was one of the best basic sound theory Vids I’ve seen! Kudos on this one!
This is so well produced. I’m new to synthesizers and just got my Digitakt and this is a perfect start to learn more about how to produce sounds. Thank you a ton!
Loved the video, great content
I've never produced sounds before, but now I feel like I can make something that gets me to headline a festival.
This is nicely done.
Amazing video, thank you so much
This was very educational, thank you for making the video!
That was great, more please
Excellent presentation. Thank you.
