Can’t wait! Been using vocoder on near enough all my recent Belgium style basses with the delay trick. Works amazing on vowel sounds, can make some really juicy wet sounds.
@@BudgieDnB That's so interesting! I would love to try that, I had not thought of using vocoder on Belgian basses at all just yet. Care to share an example of how you use it exactly? (not just for me but for those reading the comments also)
@@HowtoDNB this is going to be a bit of a read - The method I’ve been using a lot is getting a sound out of any synth that’s very full but got a couple resonances, adding a vocoder with a noise carrier, lowering all the bands and then selecting a couple of the higher bands you like the tones of. Add some formant, depth and dry/wet to taste. Then add a delay with 10-30ms timing, moderately high feedback and selecting a frequency range, dry/wet to taste. This just gives it some width while giving it that laser kind of sound. MB compression, saturate and sculpt the sound with eq. This is where the sauce really happens - add a shifter with frequency selected, play with coarse, then add another shifter with ring selected, play with coarse. You might find the shifters make everything quieter on some sounds, either saturate more or just gain match depending on what your going for. Then eq and reverb to add into a nice in the mix space. The first shifter is how much to move the frequencies by, then next one is to ring modulate those frequencies. I have the first one set 300-800hz and the second at -300-500hz. It’s pretty hard to get everything working together smoothly but once you do you can add it as a rack onto near enough everything. Think I covered everything 😂 would love to see you make a video about the vocoder and see how you use it! :)
I don't think Muzz is underrated at all and never was in my oppinion. He is the best technical DNB artist. It's just that his tracks often lack a soul and musicality for the most part. A theme, something larger than life and relatable that connects everything and makes you feel like "wow this makes sense". He is his own worst enemy, especially with how good his production skills are, he often loses track of the bigger picture, the music itself. Perfect example where being technically the best isn't as beneficial. Great tutorial, sounds amazing!
I think you are right. I meant underrated as in: for how good his sound design is and how epic he makes things, you would eckon he has a similar following to e.g. sub focus
I may have to try this and resample the vocoder idea and use it with a granular sampler and sweep around for abit.. Then i may also try the first Note in something like paulstrecth for some type of pad or drone type sounds.
Way under rated channel, do a vocoder vid as it's also under rated and mis understood by lots of us for sound design. Keep up the good work bro 💪🏼💯
Thanks man! Actually through making this vid I found a supercool way to use the vocoder to get bassplucks, which i'll be posting about super soon

Muzz should have WAY more followers. I once heard a rumor he ghost produces now for Martin Garrix and the likes…

That's a sick idea. What would you recommend for the granular sampler? what vst do you use?
