In this video, I dive deep into the unexpected challenges of recreating Disclosure's famous synth sound. What started as a straightforward quest quickly turned into a sound design journey full of twists, turns, and surprises. Join me as I uncover the secrets behind Disclosure’s iconic synth, explore the hidden complexities of their sound, and navigate the roadblocks that make this a challenge nobody expected. Whether you're a fan of Disclosure, a music producer, or just curious about sound design, this video will take you behind the scenes of one of the most iconic synths in modern music.

Absolutely loved watching this 😂❤

[@WillHatton]

Thank you! 😂🙌🏻

[@higgouk]

this just came up on my feed, what a surprise to see my name pop up! thanks!!
btw the sample I used on sunrise is different to Guy's one from that livestream, but you got pretty close 😉

[@WillHatton]

Haha, thanks bud!
I won’t be beaten - I’m coming for ya’ 😉🤣

[@elliscollins6104]

This is insane! I can’t tell you how many times I have done this exact process, to make that exact pad, after seeing that disclosure livestream a few years back. All I can say is thank you! That era of disclosure with that deep house/ukg sound is my favourite

[@WillHatton]

I feel you bud! Thanks for the kind words!

[@anubhav_6_9]

I also find myself getting so lost in searching some kind of exact sample or sound online that I end up being overwhelmed and scrap the project at the end 😂

[@WillHatton]

Hahaha, you gotta see it through sometimes!

[@markmanter6508]

THIS 😂 literally happened to me last night lol planned on going to sleep at 10-11pm but pretty quickly got distracted working on something… ended up getting in bed at like 2am 😅

[@bestlifeever1211]

You have just separated yourself from all the other youtube producers with this one. WOW.

[@WillHatton]

That is maybe the highest praise you could have given. Thank you!
Hopefully folks see and enjoy it!

[@TheDanielShepherd]

@@WillHatton You have, hugely enjoyed this content, there needs to be more quality content like this.

[@Letsynthesize]

I think it is really common among producers. At least i get into this tunnel every week :D

[@badatmath.]

Man, you absolutely put everything you have into your work. This mockumentary style video editing was also killer! 👑

[@WillHatton]

Thank you, bro !

[@chrln]

hahaha, this was fun to watch, video footage + editing is top notch!! great great video Will!! ✨👏

[@WillHatton]

Means so much coming from you, Chrln, thank you!

[@why0gilliams]

I was hanging my laundry while watching this and MAN I had a smile on my face the entire time!! Great entry my friend and I'm really glad you finally found that damn sample! ^_^ And thanks a bunch for all the extra stuff on Patreon! :D
12/10 toasters for this one!!

[@WillHatton]

You are SO kind, my friend. Thank you!!!

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

Super impressed. If I had to guess, I’d say the chord is from Mike Huckaby’s “My Life With The Wave” sample CD. This was also quite hard to find, but is findable.

[@robertgarvansnyder4665]

Oh wait, you found it.

[@Nil0tinius]

very fun video! I love that you absolutely refused to give up :)

[@WillHatton]

Hahaha, you know it bud! Glad you enjoyed

[@diegobeccaris4270]

[@ikarian3612]

Great watch! Didn't expect The Huckster to pop up in one of your vids!

[@WillHatton]

What the Huck!?

[@itinerantghost]

hahaha, Yes! Loved watching this, bud! Also, so cool that Guy shares so much of his process online. Have learned so much from him.

[@WillHatton]

Yes, agreed! A total open book.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Very sick video bro, love what you’ve done with this one haha and major respect to the effort you put into the search🫡

[@WillHatton]

Hahaha, thanks bud. Glad you dug it!

[@tinyshadowmusic]

Your reimagination of that Disclosure joint was jackin! ⚡⚡ The last time I saw Mike on the 1's and 2's was 2010 in Hamtramck. Absolute legend and gentleman 🩵. Thank you for your OCD, Will 🤙🏼

I would love a comment with the playlist of the sample packs you downloaded for this video!

[@krnflks]

Sounds like he took an organ, ran it through some effects, resampled, then got to slicing.

[@jonahblock]

why does that hat only come in orange?

[@WillHatton]

Great question, I'm glad that's what you took away from this video 😂
