I can really appreciate the detail put into sound design. Great video. There is something to be said though for basic composition and song writing that does not employ much sound design focus in which the actual sounds remained quite simple. Clearly there are some mind blowing tracks out there using stock, or basic sounds without much evolving.
Just a comment validating your eforts andto reiterate that yes I would love to see a tutorial on [-Insert audio related technique-] in the near future.
Thanks philip , What I would have liked to see is a more step by step approach of how did you do the mapping of the envelopes and automation so it would be much easier to apply this to my sounds
Thabks for this, I did not know what the window function did for the shifter so thats a great help! More broadly speaking, something i tend to do a lot for my sound design is to add a textured layer to my sounds, like for example if i had a pad, Subtly layer in ocean or forest sounds and then modulate those throughout the track, or add even more weird plugins to those to create cool sounds! There are so many options thats why sound design is so exciting for me! Cheers ❤
Hey Philip, i just wanted to quickly say thank you! Since i have discovered you channel not only that i have improved my workflow and mixing by a lot!! Thru all this i gained so much motivation and ultimately inspiration which is just lovely! You are such a great teacher. Will definitly consider your course in near future. cheers:)
Thank you so much, that really means a lot to me. Hearing from viewers of the channel that they got direct results from the content is the best, so thanks for sharing that!
Hey thank you for this. I’m a complete beginner determined to learn sound design. I’ll only have the new iPad Pro M4 to learn on, so I’m after your advice on what software / apps to get to tutor myself into creating electronic music around my acoustic recordings I’ll do on iPad. Thanks
Great video, modulating LFO’s to various parameters often yields surprising results. Do you use Racks to do this? I’ve been getting into building them recently
Yep, love that! In my arrangement video I show how I map macros to different modulation parameters, and theoretically you could map an lfo to a macro. Super interesting stuff! Here's the arrangement video: ruclips.net/video/zpTGWZpvz-o/видео.htmlsi=y0N45bMZNSIboSMW
Thanks for your insightful lessons. My only wish is that they were more DAW-agnostic. All of your videos are so specific to Live that it’s hard to translate into other DAW workflows.
Yeah, I know, it's a tough one. You have both camps: 1. DAW agnostic (use 3rd party tools) and 2. Stock-plugins-only of a specific DAW. I'm not sure what to do about it other than trying to convey underlying principles underneath the tutorial-style tactics. For example: You could use the "modulate the modulator" workflow also in a synth like Serum. Or use a third-party shifter plugin instead of the Ableton one. So I think the message is still helpful, independently of the DAW you use.
I know it could make the videos a couple of minutes longer, but it would be really nice to mention (if not demonstrate in a snapshot) similar tools/workflows in a couple of other DAWS used by home producers (mainly Logic and FL). Thanks again!@@pickyourselfofficial
Hey there Phillip. I can't seem to get the Frequency to move. I have everything set the exact same as you, but it won't move. Attack is moving fine but not the Frequency. Any tips?
@@NATHAN_wav That is exactly it. @pickyourselfofficial the filter frequency cutoff isn't moving. The lfo is mapped to the attack and the Envelope is mapped to the frequency, but it isn't doing anything lol. Also, thank you both for the reply!!

i also use dynamic sidechain on the vocal reverb to duck it down when the vocal is singing

Your videos are incredible, much appreciated!

Noted! I’ll do some more sound design videos to get you started. This is already a bit more advanced.

Also ableton makes this so easy with grouping instrument and effect racks :)
that's awesome- so glad for you & your family! It's a great area to surf- I just might run into you on my travels!
Yeah nice one! I’m a passionate windsurfer but since there are lots of waves here every day I might check out surfing as well.
Great! I couldn't even find the LFO in Ableton.
Loving the videos man so helpful... Could you make a video on how to get awesome FM bell leads .. a great example is the Temudo remix of No Love Lost
some great ideas there, thanks man. First time I've stumbled across your channel, subscribed 👍
Great content man! Very detailed and concise at the same time. All the best!
Very nice! Will apply in Logic. Thanks bro. 👊🏽

Thank you, gonna check that video out@@pickyourselfofficial
sis is why i like my german brothers. endlich gute tutorials is ja ein jammer da draussen
Don't synch your LFO when you use it to modulate another LFO or EG. Very slow (
My whole sound is based on modulating modulators that modulate the modulator!

Good job ❤
Strong work bro!
Thanks man, really appreciate it!

Hey there Phillip. I can't seem to get the Frequency to move. I have everything set the exact same as you, but it won't move. Attack is moving fine but not the Frequency. Any tips?
I need more context, what were you trying to achieve and what did you do? Maybe link to a screen recording so I can understand more.
@@pickyourselfofficial I believe they are referring to the filter movement at 1:35. Forgive me if I am mistaken

@@pickyourselfofficial I got it, sorry for the confusion

Great video with some great tips. Thank you Philip for sharing your knowledge!!!! Much appreciated ✌️ @pickyourselfofficial
