How to Recreate the Growls and Synths in Skrillex - First of the Year [FL Studio/Massive Tutorial]
HTML-код

- This is my tutorial on how to recreate some of the growls and synths in Skrillex's "First of the Year (Equinox)."
I use FL Studio, Massive and the WOW filter for most of it.

I realize that Skrillex uses FM8 for most of these growls but I unfortunately cannot afford that at the moment.

Went to your soundcloud, wasn`t disappointed.
That plays a HUGE part. The WOW Filter makes the monstery sound to it.
Holy shit, bro. Heard about a second of growl 1 and hit subscribe. Best Skrillex growl tutorial I've seen, and I've seen a TON. Great work.
Never said before but this tutorial was the most important one in regards to using massive when i started a few month ago. Thanks you mate for sharing these tips i have developed your ideas and made some really interesting original sounds. cant thank you enought!!!!
just subscribed because you're the first after hours of searching that really showed me these ''growls'' and ''screams'' Skrillex and Adventure Club make. i really want to thank you :P
Dude... wow. I just followed this tutorial, listened to the original, did my own little tweaks and added some more effects... and now.... I have an almost identical recreation of the drop from the original track. And ontop of that I just learned how to do meanass dubstep growl-basslines. THANK YOU :D
Oh I will. I just haven't had time...been working on my debut EP and working a bunch. I've only finally "mastered" Massive a few months ago. I'll get there with FM8 but, FM synthesis is a lot more complex if I am not mistaken.
The wowbassfilter makes the absolute world of difference to the overall sound.
This is the best growl tutorial with massive.
brilliant tutorial, these sounds are great, its also worth using the settings you've made as starting points to create new sounds. your re-makes are also really good!
DUDE you are a BOSS My friend, thanks for creating such in depth tutorials man. YOU ARE GREAT AT WHAT U DO!
Yes, and also the effect can be done without using WOW at all, it's just that WOW makes it a lot easier.
so much love for this vid these techniques are all the building blocks for some kick-ass noises, once you can make these noises just experimentation with these techniques and some fx racks will have amazing results :) Thanks for this keep the vids coming :D
Great tutorial, nice work on showing the starting points to get some real significant texture, I'm been doin growl bass for a few years now and i think the key here is the layeying of the wow filter and flanger, adds good stereo depth and warmth to an otherwise flat massive
I actually did purchase it about a month ago. I agree that you shouldn't simply download something. I know the need to support these companies. When I first started using these I found them to learn. Once I could afford it, I purchased them. The same as my copy of FL Studio and my other VST's.
fun fact, skrillex uses fm8 alot more than massive to make his weird sound
Henny swift fun fact: no
One tip: Skrillex often uses a vocoder to make his basses. For example, the growl in the buildup and the drop is actually a simple patch vocoded to the chopped up vocals you hear in the buildup :)
Damn, these sounds are killer! Great job!
Sounds great in a low F, but remember to also apply the effects.
Great tut !!!
I will certainly use this helpfull information !
This is great for beginners, ánd Advanced producers !
thanks and keep up with these great tuts
U didnt show us the voicing tab in massive! I tried and if u put on 2 unisono and monophon>legato triller it sounds more accurate to ur recreation!
All of those extra tracks are because I am doing this tutorial inside my Skrillex - First of the Year project (since all of the FX channels are already set up and everything).
First make sure you have the "Monophon" setting checked (under the Voicing tab). Then, place two separate notes together in the piano roll, BUT have one start slightly after the first one.
Just Google "drum samples" or "drum breakdown samples" and you'll see what I mean. There's packs made of just stuff like that, that he most likely uses.
Then what you do is when you place the sample in your track, you stretch it to fit (or make it less long) your song.
the wow filter made a big difference
I have a little hint for you with the Rise Sound ;)
If you want to let it raise the pitch just use the Modulation 1 - 4
Then apply it to the 1. Square under the Pitch at OSC1
Just drop it to e.g. 12
and then lower the second lvl button of the Modulation you have chosen to 0.
If you play now a little bit with the decay button you can let every Sound you want raise and you choose how fast or slow ;)
I'm talking about presets and custom sounds. Massive comes with some, but not all. That is why i want to see someone make cool interesting sounds with the default presets and sounds.
you are awesome !
you made everything look so simple !
thank you !
If you don't know where the signal begins or ends, you'll never know what you're doing. But the root of the problem is creative sound. Many times you sit in front of a synthesizer with a sound in your head, but no matter how long you tweak the parameters you always get that nasally thin bleet. So I would further recommend recreating popular RI synthesized sounds, like horns, flutes, pianos, and strings. from the four basic waveforms. Tri/Sin/Sq/Pul/.
Very good... Whenever you actually look through beatgenerals in youTube they've FL studio demonstrations showing you how to make beats, mix beats, master beats, etc for all people seeking a little more help or maybe aiming to grow!
PLZ DO THIS WITH THE WOW 2..
Thanks!
This tutorial is fantastic and really helped me, I use Ableton but was able to apply the same effect chain as you and came out perfect. I might start to use FL again but I keeped having issues with my controllers so I had to switch back to ableton. I really liked how you covered alot of his synths and it sounds pretty damn close to it even though he uses FM8 for his monster growls. I thing you should tackle the porter Robinson and knife party son Unison and and cover the drop in that :)
Live comes with a "WOW" effect in the stock files. Look for it. It's really good actually and if you already have Live, it will save you $100. :)
Sonny mentions in an interview that he uses FM8 for his monster sounds. I'm assuming that's what's lacking. Perhaps come back with some FM8 sounds? haha your fucking awesome dude keep it up.
You know what a compressor does right? It also transforms the sound if it starts clipping in the compressor
This tutorial is pretty quality! However, if you lookup beat generals in RUclips they have a lot more precise info about this though.
Will do next time, thanks!
in the top left corner of massive click the arrow and press "detached" :D
Great tutorial! If I may make suggestion for future tuts, play sound as you make changes so we can learn how each setting affects it! :) This especial helpful for people (like me) who don't have exactly same DAW and/or plugins so we can adapt to our setup. Thanks!
I do on some sounds, just really depends on if I am adding sub-bass to it, or how "thick" the synth turns out to be.
These could be a lot better, but I'm not gonna spend hours and hours trying to get them beautiful. I'd rather do that for my own sounds.
in the top left corner of your massive window click the arrow and click detatch at the bottom :)
Click the arrow at the top left of your massive, and at the bottom there's 'Detached'. Click it and it should work
Well, you could just apply 50% chorus and maybe automate some of the settings. The flangus isn't SUPER important to achieving the end sound, all it does is kind of add a widening effect in this case.
I had a nice mic and pop filter a while back, but had to sell it due to a shortage of money. Will be getting another one soon though :)
Sorry if I wasn't clear, but Massive is a 3rd party plugin from Native Instruments. It does not come with FL Studio.
Wow this was very helpful, Thanks!
if u want... u can do "make it ban dem" of Skrillex...and u can do another tutorial for other "rise" cause are fantastic
After some VERY short Google searching, i have come to note that TPB has every plugin used in this tutorial, although that is the illegal method... duh... I have personally purchased all of the used plugins as well as many more (and NO I will NOT send out the installers or the SI/Reg files). Great tutorial. never been a fan ofSkrillix really, but I have always wanted to make something like his style to see if I could and I have concluded that with my p.o.s. Dell Inspirion 1525, I have. Thanks :)
The flangus shouldn't make a huge difference in the final sound as long as your using the chorus settings in Massive as seen in the video. If it's still not working something else may be wrong.
That's a broad command, you don't just "learn synthesis". Someone reading that comment would probably just get discouraged. I would recommend starting with
A study and evaluation of Analog and Digital signal flow. Understanding the basics of signal flow within those instruments. Then FULLY understanding how that signal is affected by an ADSR env, Filters, LFOs. These things are critical in understanding when looking at any synthesizer
awesome tutorial man thanks!
awsum tutorial :D soo happy with what ive learnt
Took me ages to work out why my growls weren't sounding beefy. Rewatched and saw you had bitcrusher on. You sly dog, you.
good job! i like long tutorials
Welcome, and if that's the case you should be upvoted to one of the top comments so others can see.
i love your tuts man, but it would be alot of help if you showed the patteren in the piano roll as well
Sure, I think I'm gonna try and do a few more recreations that are a bit more higher quality, and then do tutorials for those. :)
Something that would have been nice, the times for the different tutorials in the description? :)
Haha yeah, quad core self-built PC here. It DOES lag sometimes if I am having too many Massive's doing something at the same time.
I will have to check to see what it sounds like without it. I'll let you know.
Bit crusher does not add vowels, though. Adding Bitcrusher and removing the WOW filter makes it sound worse.
Skrillex uses FM8, using the built-in options to change the vowels. I don't have FM8 nor do I have the knowledge in FM8 to do it the way he does right now.
you fucking RULE! thank you sooooo much. ive been trying to get this pluggin for ages
he is, it's just coming out if his speakers :) you can hear it faintly coming back into the mic
the two dots above the letter u (ü) is called an umlaut (pronounced like the ew in the Pokemon name mew sorta), you see it in a couple languages, you see it a lot in German, just a learning moment :p
haha i know what he means :] i think he is talking about the env 1 which is attached to the noise oscillator in growl 2, you didn't explain that further, and the lfo8 which is attached to the ring modulation, and there is phase and position modulation too :S it's a shame you didn't explain this further, but it sounds awesome anyway, so i hope it's not a big deal :) don't mean to be annoying about it ofcourse, very nice tutorial!
Depends.
If I turn off the compression on these, it's just less loud.
Change your resolution in your display settings.
I'd sure as hell download one if I could :)
nice video!!!! very helpful
Thanks for the info man, really appreciate it! btw I subbed ofc!
What exactly do you expect me to explain? It is built off of the first synth I made (growl 1). I do not understand how this synth works in-depth, all I know how to do is to experiment and make cool sounds out of it.
muy bueno me ha sido de gran ayuda increible!!!!
i can't say whether you can get the exact filter for free, but there are lots of other free filters that do pretty much exactly the same thing
also wen u open up the second massive theres an env automation on the feedback all these things will b needed for the sounds to sound the same.
Yes. I don't have the wow filter and it's sounds a lot different
completely agree. Learn synthesis, not to find a preset in download file.
No WOW filter needed for the rise. But I really don't know what the issue is, it's hard to tell without actually being there.
I could really use a patch download only because my computer screen's not big enough to see all of massive when you go and apply the metallic and sine shaper effects
make the tutorial about the making of the skrillex lead synth popping
there is a VST version, part of the Juicy pack (have a look on image line website)
but i think you can use any other flanger as this one is pretty basic
I feel like just downloading and using presets won't help you learn anything. Seeing how the sounds are actually made encourages people to try to do it on their own.
Thanx alot for the tutorial! :-)
i've never downloaded a track illegally in my life. Carry on doing it and fuck it up for everyone if you want, it's your choice.
Try taking the note a few octaves down.
I fucking love this tuto !!!! Thanks to you, I discovered the secret of 'aspiration' KILL THE NOISE ! Niark niark niarkkkkkkkk
Why does my Growl #1 sound nothing like his Growl #1. It has all the same things set.
Nick your amazing! How can i learn more from you? Would you be interested in teaching a few private lessons on the fundamentals of Sound Design (making synth sounds you hear in your head from scratch), and composition organization theory? Im fully knowledgeable on Music Theory, am a musician, easy going, and learn quick. Love to hear back from ya, keep up the great, inspiring work!!
I'm just taking a wild guess here, I'd say most of the music on your phone/mp3 player/pc/etc is all stuff you downloaded from the internet without paying;correct?
could you upload these presets and put the link in the description so we can download them ? Would be AWESOME ! ;)
yep!
He doesn't say he uses FM8, he says he uses FM synthesis, rather than analog synthesis, what most synths use.
I've tried really high and really low. Could it be because i don't have the Wow filter? Does that play such a big part?
Not sure what to tell ya...only difference between my setup and yours most likely is that I am using a compressor on the master channel.
PIRATEs in the BAY often find MASSIVE TORRENTial rains
Would you care sharing the score for the growls if you have this yet? Because I'm not sure my growl sounds that way. Suspicious bitcrusher btw...
Oh, and very nice sound, but as said, I wasn't able to recreate it with your tutorial :/
I'm going to post the FLP project file soon.
Nice
thanks man.!!!
Are you using the WOW filter? Pretty weird if you are and it still isn't sounding like it should.
Does the resonance in the WOW vst self ocilate?
Ok
right
Modulation on Growl 2? You didn't show...
I have some now :)
