9 mintutes... 9 minutes. To the point, insanely random humor that is funny enough to keep your eyes and ears glued but not distract you from the point of the video. Just striking the perfect balance. It's just great. They don't make 'em like you no more. You have my sub. You're absolutely killing it.
The one thing you want is a RUclipsr that shows you exactly how it's done, but also adds a lot of humor to the instructions 🤣🤣 I am now obligated to never look for drum instrustions ever again 🙏🙏🤣🤣
literally while watching this tutorial i had like this weird sudden realization and now im making music again, thanks so much disphing! youve got me out of this pit of nothing all with 1 tutorial :)
Informative, straight to the point, easy to understand, with good sense of humour and valid knowledge If this isn't the literall definition of a perfect tutorial video, then I don't know what else could be
one thing you missed ab the snare section is that you can make the noise LFO have a bit of an attack so that the tonal part of the snare "sidechains" to the noise making it duck out of the way for the tone
Btw (I came back to this video cause I wanted to try and make some of the sounds you have shown)... Everything you have shown and stated in this video can be 100% applicable to any DAW/Wavetable and I was able to create all of the drum sounds you have shown. Amazing job making this video, you have shown me and everyone else the 'secrets' to making our very own synthesize drums to use in our tracks. P.S. I'm going to overcharge people for the sounds I have created on gumroad now. 🙂🙂💀
at this point I just want you to become a regular RUclipsr, the editing of this is just SOOO on point and tickles all my... uhh .. wth does it tickle I don't know ITS FUN TO WATHC OKAY
I've been experimenting with drum synthesis for about 3 years now and I can safely say this; if you wanna make the best sounding snares, it's best to make it so that the transient and the noise tail have their individual operators. Meaning you can have a very punchy transient (preferably noise looped) and fade the noise tail in, so that the snare can punch through. You can also add some soft clip distortion, a highpass _right_ before the fundamental and you're good to go!
Dude you have no idea how long I've been trying to figure out how to begin with electronic drums, this is actually THE most helpful production video I've found 💗💗💗
Just fyi, the really short reverbs are functionally just a comb filter (it's a stack of allpass fiters with a bunch of feddback) with feedback, so that's another easy way to get that specific metallic sound.
The pitch envelope of the kick drum synth section can be solved by adding two envelopes. One for the main pitch and the other shorter one for creating transients. Modulating the same parameter with multiple envelopes is one of the techniques for creating sound effects
I got 3 comments to make here! 1.- Another way to get this metallic quality to sounds is to use a flanger, set the rate to 0 so it doesn't move around and play with the delay (high feedback will enhance it more so play with that too!) 2.- I think 808 hihats are just white noise with a high-pas and high resonance. I've achieved very similar results by doing that, but I think combining that with the detuned square waves will sound dope af! 3.- Since you brought up multiband delay, a cool trick I like to do with it is go to the presets tab, go all the way down and click "randomize" and just use the morph knob to go between the 8 banks! You can get some pretty gnarly textures with that! Anyways great video! I've always struggled a bit with drum synthesis (particularly with snares) and seeing tips from someone is really helpful, so thanks! :D
love everything about this vid: - educational content - flow + scripting - editing (how catchy the video is) taking this as reference man, also thx 4 teh lesson ☝🤓
This video is really good! Love how it gives you guidelines but actively tells you to experiment too. Also, I will vouch for Valhalla Supermassive being an awesome plugin, especially for free!
So you mentioned detuning and high passing a square wave to get metallic sounds. This is an adaptation of methods used in older analog drum machines (Roland's CR-78, TR-606, and TR-808 are popular examples) wherein 6 square waves would be detuned and ring modulated against each other, producing a bright metallic sound with no additional processing needed. An alternative that I recommend is using Serum's chaos oscillator (found in the global page), cranking it all the way up to audio rate, and setting it to modulate the coarse pitch of a square wave. This will potentially save you a filter slot, allows you to keep the metallic sound in mono, and gives (IMO) better results straight off the bat. 🐱
Came up in my recommended as I was searching for sound design stuff as I’m a complete noob, although I’m still unsure with a lot of the terminology I really enjoyed the video and I’m gonna come back and watch it again once I’m more clued up👍😂 keep it up dude
Tidbit: the reason why Abletons ‘Corpus’ effect is called that is because the technique of getting that metallic sound with short delay times and strong feedback is called ‘karplus strong synthesis’
Take it a step further and add Disperser (a small amount, like 5-10 percent wet), and for snares you can add a psuedo-physical modelling element with FM that will give it an organic sound.
only critique is that i would hold control shift and click the pitch modulation above the OSC for the kick so that the lowest part of the LFO hits the root note that is played
@@Vitae_ It hits the root note at the end and stays at it so it is not "constantly changing". I mean it could be, bu thats not how i design my kicks. theres an argument to be made that the kick note is not important if its very short
Great video! There aren't a lot of well edited, high quality videos like this on RUclips that cover production fundamentals. However, I would have appreciated a focus on drum transients, especially in snare drums. Snares are mostly body and tail, but (as you probably know) the reason your initial snare has no impact is largely because of the lack of a "click" at the start. That's the transient, the high energy waveform that comes from the initial impact of the drumstick on the snare drum. As you refined your drums, I could hear that transient being created indirectly through effects and envelopes. Your method still resulted in a good snare, but I think the process could be less mystic if the transient was mentioned.

yt recommenddd
hi dispy
i dont know i just woke up here
I am now legally obligated to never watch another drum sound design tutorial.
get out of here nerd
Same under contract of watching I can't physically click on another video about drum sound design without going to producer jail 😢
@@projectnitefall8058 unfortunate, we should have read the contract
!
GO TO SCHOOL
Holy s* this type of humor just makes my socks all wobbly and moist and stuff.
contender for the most insane comment ive ever received
@@disphing I feel like I was just knighted.
Same i just go to the shower with my socks on and never take them off. So my socks would be perfectly moist and wet on my feet and i love it now!
@@disphing i can't blame him though you make my underwear all hot and sticky
And stuff 😭😹
After the phrase "This is not what we want. Unless, of course, it is, in which case good job" I wanted to give you couple dozens of likes
Ohhhh goddddd I heard the start of the "White noise" part and it's gold
1:00 i love how you played extratone here
real ones knows
lmao
i swear if every youtube tutorial was made as great and comprehensive as this one we'd have a LOT more good producers. great job datphing!!!
best tutorial ever I swear
thanks oomfie i wont ever watch a drum synthesis tutorial ever again
its really nice to see a tutorial where a giant head is not staring into the camera and into my soul
the way he EQs stuff hurts

For the metallic hihat sounds you can also experiment with a ring modulator
Filtered FM harmonics, also good. Make it a bit atonal
The uranoid clip caught me off guard lmao, also nice video
Multiband delay is possibly the most fun i've had with FLstudio in a while, REALLY good for spectral/wet sounds
wow, that skin looks so good it made me think it was vital

i was curious bc i already know this stuff and its hilarious and SO REAL

A+ bang to buck ratio. No unnecessary info. Reminded me to pay more attention to the eq
at 4:33 you can right click any band in parametric eq2 and set the shape to high pass instead of dragging each band down
The perfect blend of shitpost and high value content, amazing work man
The best it’s how to make an impact
excellent video bruvva
Okay time to get Serum! 😎
I recently wondered if possible to do an entire track with Serum alone, you just answered that.
Surely putting the envelope on unipolar also helps
HELL YEAH ANOTHER GOOD MUSIC CHANNEL WOOHOO
this is really useful as someone who has no fuckign idea what they’re doing thabkyiuu!!!!!
bro your serum looks like vital
That cello tune on its own makes this video worth watching
This is such high quality. I dont agree/do some of this processing but the editing and jokes are great
the transistions keep getting better and better. that alone has convinced me to subscribe.
The "LAAA dootedootedo LAA--" really caught me off guard
i'm gonna put this into my "watch later" playlist and i hope that the title may be true
the best snares are a literal distorted sinewave that lasts less than 0.1 seconds
this is by far one of the best and funniest sound design tutorials ever, u have earned urself a new sub

great tutorial though, very helpful
