What synth u using?
I’m using a free synth called “vital” but you can follow along in any synth you have :)
it looks like a linnstrument or something like that for the midi interface.
Do a vid on your setup!
Im dumb, sorry, just checked the content.
I want a linnstrument so much, its crazy, a world of manipulable sound at your fingertips :O
aftertouch just isnt enough
@@LaidBackApophis if you dont want to break the bank try the Exquis, it's an MPE midi controller with hex grid layout, isomorphic like linn except linn is square grid instead of hex. however, the same idea remains - note relationships to each other are THE SAME ACROSS THE ENTIRE DEVICE meaning if you learn the shape of a minor or major third or fifth, its that SAME FINGER PLACEMENT no matter what root note you start with.
@@AntonProducerI really appreciate you using vital even though I mostly use Phaseplant and Europa Because I know that I can basically always recreate the sound on my synths. With the more complex serum sounds I always feel like something is missing when I try to recreate it, but not the case for vital.
This. This is how you do an instructional video. No bullshit, no three minute intro, no exaggerated cartoon voice, no jumpy logos. Just straight into the goods. My guy packed 45 minutes worth of info into a 5 minute vid.
Yeah, but there's no context for the stuff he's showing you ... Dude needs to give us a finished example of what he made once it was all put together. It's kind of ridiculous actually. 😂
Maybe other people are just stretching 5 mins of info to 45 mins haha :D
the context is he's shown you how to recreate specific sounds and fx from some of aphex's most famous tracks, that's what the timestamps are. it doesn't need a thing showing 'here's what was made' because those tracks already exist@@Fiveash-Art
@@pipefx64 ... na .. With no context it's meaningless ... my bet is no one will put any of this info into practice. Besides tweaking with a few plugins it really doesn't show much of anything practical. 'The Time Stamps' .. uh, yeah, ok, whatever. How bout I just go listen to Aphex Twin instead. 👍🏻
the context is aphex twin??? if youve listened to allot of aphex twin you will hear that these are litterally sounds that show up in that all the time
@@Fiveash-Art
Man this is amazing, its rare to find videos that go in depth with Aphex Twins music with clear and concise explanations. Lots of tutorials chalk his music up to being random or just throw in a bunch of drums and pads, but you have the skill to break down the intricacies of how the synthesizer is used and how to produce that natural analogue feel, Your awesome thank you!
I am deeply impressed. Videos about music and production often times feel esoteric. You not only create great sounds, but actually explain the creation process in a very calm and logical way.
Straight to the point. Loads of info. Easy to follow and well explained. Class video man.
Your channel is an absolute gem and I'm so glad I came across it. The way you can give so much knowledge, tips and inspiration is insane and I hope more people will discover your vidoes. Thanks a lot and good luck!
Thank you 🙏🏾
This was great! I love how direct you are. Not a bit of filler on the video.
Awesome man! I have been wanting such a great tutorial footage. It is so lucid and appropriate.
Like others have said, this is how it's done. No fluff, just straight to the point, good quality instruction. You just got another subscriber.
Loved this whole video. Especially the very last bit about your approach to your presets and evolving them! Can't wait to watch more
Glad you enjoyed it! And yeah there’s plenty of ways you can tweak the patches…Feel free to explore 🙌🏾
IZ-US is such an underappreciated track
stop making that big face!!

Straight to the point, clear instructions with solid tips, banger video!
Bro, the way you gave that information was amazing. Concise and to the point. Don’t stop. It’s great to see BPOC producers on RUclips teaching Music and sound design techniques. Well done. I look forward to seeing more.
crazy good video man. also thank you for not quibbling over the specifics and terms of your chosen synth engine. I feel so confident about translating this to phaseplant for my own purposes 👍
Awesome! It’s always great to try these techniques in other synths… Phaseplant goes quite deep so good luck with that 💪🏾
hey you are REALLY special, video is head and shoulders above the competition and your taste in aphex sounds is great btw. and i like your linnstrument.
Hair lookin mad clean, bruv. Excellent and informative video as well
One of the best and easy to follow synth sound design videos I've seen
Fantastic video! You got my sub for sure. Quick, useful, to the point. Listening in the car and I’m gonna watch again and follow along when I get home!
These videos are awesome man, I feel like I'm learning so much, thank you!
Love the sound design choices for your vids, dude!
You're the channel I never knew I needed.
BRO... I'm eternally grateful for this video, it's perfect
Great stuff. I really love your presentation style, so clear and natural.
Thank you, nice to hear you enjoyed it. What type of music do you make?
@@AntonProducer I mess about with groveboxes (the usual Elektron, Roland, Novation, and Korg over the years) and plugins (distortion, bitcrusher etc). Very informative analysis of early Aphex. I have seen people do most of the 90s classic electronic artists but never the sound of Kenny Larkin on Metaphor or Carl Craig on Landcruising if you fancy doing those some time?
Yo, this is awesome! ❤️ Thank u for showing this, I'll be trying it! This is great to follow along with. Flawless editing, n straight to the point 🔥 🙏
Thank you! Enjoy using in your music
Loved this, some great sounds featured here - instant subscribe!
Great overview, swift and precise, sounding nice. Was actually looking for program change tips to emulate the afx mode on the bass station2 , but this is are equally useful sound design tips. 👾
fantastic video, absolutely no nonsense. thank you
absolute legend for all these videos sir ! big ups !
Dude please continue doing these videos! These are probably the most helpful tips for beginner producers. Always learning so much bc of you! Thanks
Producers don't mix or write music. They guide the artist and are a liason between the artist and the record label.
@@SocialGoreYou are wrong. A music producer can be a person who; writes, composes, arranges and does all the sound design. You are thinking of a different kind of producer.
@@SungazerDNB No, people started using it that way because hip hop beat makers didn't know the difference. If you write, it's a writing credit. If you engineer, it's an engineering credit. There is a literal definition of a music producer. You're out of your element.
@@SocialGorego outside
No, that's incorrect.@@SocialGore
damn these are on point! You're very good at this, thanks!
Love your insta page, this long form content is even more helpful! Ty!!!
Perfect, Thank you! That was the exact reason we started making these longer videos, it’s great having more time to explain each concept 👌🏾
That was really neat Anton, I like Vital. Keep them coming. Thanks.
Thanks, will do!
good video. Enjoyed skimming through it to refresh up on some sounds!
Aphex the goat, love how you replicated some sounds off the Analords bro, Phonatacid best track out of the whole series! His sound on that EP collection is so skeletal yet so charming! Rich can make a synth sing
This was incredibly inspiring. Thanks.
Nice video, easy to digest and to the point, keep 'em going
Nice video thanks. Appreciate the straight forward and down to earh delivery too.
So much info in such a conpact video, thank you!
nonchalantly just dropping an unbelievably high quality tip in the last 20 seconds and cuts the video! good stuff man
Great breakdown on some of Aphex's sounds. I'm going to try these.
High production value here, am certainly going to use some of the little tricks here like subtle randomizing in the future. Thanks!
Awesome! That subtle random trick works wonders on a range of sounds, hope you enjoy experimenting with that in your music
Really cool video.
Thanks for sharing and talking about an amazing free plugin option for Serum. I'm gonna download this beauty on my PC now!
Great video man.
Brilliant! Subscribed. That make me want to dig in vital and make my own presets. Hope you got more vital tutorials on your channel!
Awesome bro, most of my videos are using vital.. Got tons breakdowns on IG/ TikTok (@antonproducer) if you wanna check those out :)
Thank you so much pal I’m a huge aphex twin fan and I wanted to make music inspired by him so this helps a lot thanks again
Awesome, please make more of these videos! So many great artist to break down their styles. Cheers
More to come! We have a list of a few great artists so this could be a fun series to continue. Is there anyone in particular that you want covered?
@@AntonProducer autechre!
Amazing video, learning sound design currently, this is very helpful
Nice one Anton! 👌
great stuff man
Well done . Love ur videos. Very accurate as well
Fantastic advice, really well explained
Thank you, my friend! I was particularly interested in the pitch drift trick. Short, informative and very good practical advice. I'm just going to put it into practice right away. Like and Subscribe!

What songs do you want g

Your videos are really good~
Subbed, good stuff. I learned a lot keep it up
Pure gold! Gooooooold!

A fan of Aphex Twin is a friend of mine. Subbed.
great video, thank you!
Great vid. Not my software but it's still applicable info. Hats off dude
Thank you! Btw the synth plugin is free so you can download if you want
Great vid!
i never watch these types of vids but becuz it's afx i thought i'd check it out, and i love that you did some analord tracks! redlof is one of my fave tracks from him, super underrated!
Ayy that’s great thank you. I’m still making my way through the analord tracks but redlof stood out to me, cool to hear you like it aswell
I love pwsteal ldpinch d
@@48-_ Yoo just checked it out now, thanks for the recommendation. Sounds sick.
@@AntonProducer no
Np*
Great vidéo ! Great tips ! I am thankful
Very cool man.
excellent video
sweet stuff
Concrete explanation, you are really good at it!
Thank you! I'm still new to making these videos so appreciate your comment
love this videos
Fire vid
I like your style bro lovely video
On the one hand, it's amazing to see such a wise youngling studying from ancient masters and all.
On the other hand, the tiktok chainsaw editing is harsh on my decaying old brain :D
Great video.
A further tip is to totally bollox up the levels on your mastering run. There's a couple of tracks on Ambient Works 1 with overloads that make it all that way through cassette duplication......honestly, if you find a cassette version and fire it up on a deck with meters, you will see that at least 2 tracks just sit with the +6dB light on......I can only assume that the mastering and dupe engineers had a manic R.D. James yacking at them the whole time LOL
Interesting, I’ll have another listen to ambient works 1! Also thanks for the editing feedback
Naaah, i'm just old, you edit how you like bro ;) @@AntonProducer
legend🔥🔥
So much protein here. Very lean video. Great job.
What is your video editing package?
thank you
top video ! cheers
Amazing
THANK YOU
Omg your an absolute legend you covered my favourite afx tracks that being analord, phonatacid being one of my faves ,I would love it if you could cover the 303 lines he uses in analord like xmd5a
Thanks for the suggestion Adam. I haven't heard that one yet, will check it out!
@@AntonProducer it's a banger
Sick
banger vid
That sound at 1.03🔥
Ganz geil erklärt 👍
Well done Anton. Would be great to see you do the same for Squarepusher. So much Aphex but almost no content on YT breaking down SP’s productions.
That could be interesting..Are there any songs in particular that you would like covered?
@@AntonProducer Maybe that main Lead from Theme from Ernest Borgnine, that Tundra pad or something from I Wish You Could Talk.
Richard is a genius that has always been 2 steps ahead of everyone.
Nice
He's probably my biggest influence and I can hear bits of RDJ in all my works
good video
vital is amazing
I’ve been trying to make a bass synth similar to the one in come to daddy where it almost sounds percussive almost like playing a bass guitar and I can’t figure out how to get a sound like that.
Sometimes i like to add pitch drift via frequency shifting a little up and down via a lfo(:
That’s another great method, thanks for sharing :)
