I found your music a few weeks ago and watched some of your vids, you've become a big inspiration for me. Thanks for showing us the project it helps a lot for me and probably a lot of people who are learning. lift me from the ground quickly become a favorite of mine. Your songs inspired me to make this track I did with Romy Wave, Feather. Of course I'm not trying to steal your wave I just really enjoyed the style of music you've been creating. It'd mean a lot for me to hear your thoughts on the song, music has been such a difficult journey for me. ruclips.net/video/WSt9PNimbVs/видео.html
By chance Sir Solo, will we get a chance to see your creativity in a video with the new Massive X synth? What are your thoughts on it as you seem to love Massive a lot! Thanks for the video. You're a huge inspiration.
He likes to keep it simple, that's why he remembers it so easily, it's great to see that you don't need a huge complex patch to make a really great song, he uses just enough for it to have a great effect.
This is amazing! Producers: Notice the volume levels of all tracks. VERY MODERATE! You don't need to crank every single sound. It all gets leveled nice and loud in the end!
So crazy how the sounds he uses blend together. Some of those sounds I would have never even thought of using, but he layered them so well and it sounds amazing. Very helpful and inspiring video
Dude, You guys have done so much for the producer community. You guys are gonna be legends. Definitely learned a lot from you guys content. Appreciate it!
Amazing deconstruction workshop, guys! Thanks a lot for San putting this out with such an open heart to the community. Really appreciate! Gems everywhere. Good job, Cymatics!
Goosebumps....love this song. Love how Holo really gets into it when the music is playing and you can see it slide through his soul. True passion. This was an inspiration. Thank you.
Always a treat to see an artist so hyped on their own content. Every classic piece of music is a gift from the eternal, to witness this level of gratitude is inspiring.
Amazing workshop! So much useful information here. The section on bussing is brilliant and I had never thought to do that. It's also interesting to see Sander go counter to a lot of EQ tutorials out there. Lots of boosts and not many cuts. Really interesting! And the sound design tutorials were phenomenal. Can't wait for more like this!!!
WOW, I have seriously NEVER heard this advice before! Thank you so much! It has helped me beyond belief, even so much that my new track I dropped just went Triple Stainless Steel on PornHub.
Thanks to both San & Cymatics for putting this workshop together. The mastering portion really helped me get better control over my low frequencies and percussion. Thanks a million. :)
I highly appreciate it when big names intend to help us, beginners, out. Such workshops are so valuable; they really are. P.S: God bless that drop snare from "Light" . And if only San included that "swirl" sample in the pack you guys released, it would've been so cool 😂😂😂
As much as I love San, this was just a marketing opportunity for him. All the Cymatics team wants is your email so they can sell the fuck out of that shit. They blow up my feed with ads and shit with workshops from Kompany, and other artists like San, yet it's pretty obvious all they want to do is get your email out of it lmao
Sander is a musician's musician. Totally off the wall, random and all over the place. I love it. I wasn't sure if this video would really deliver but DAMN. Ton of nuggets, like the trick of reverbing a sample on a separate track (if you have the CPU to spare....) and Autopan basically as a sidechain. I was also blown away by how simple the synths are. He nailed it when he said something to the effect of "the little changes in detail are what make all the difference to me". Well done Cymatics, well done.
Wow sounds so simple but looks so advanced 😄 I still like the sound and big probs for the work! When i heard the song first (i think it was late 2016 or early 17) it was a mindblow. And it starts all with We Rise ❤️ Love that Guy.
San Holo makes producing and sound design so approachable, I really appreciate the fact he’s taken time to do these videos, literally binging all the information I can get from these kinda uploads from him , what a beast
Thanks for doing this guys, this was awesome! Main takeaways for me so far: 1) Separating actual audio from reverb to EQ individually. 2) How to use sends for mastering.
San Holo "I don't use Reverb busses" Cymatics guy: "Where shall we put the video of you talking Mr Holo?" San Holo: "Just put me in the top right to hide the cpu"
Its so inspiring to know that all it really takes is a really good understanding of your program and plugins. After that it comes from pure creativity and using those tools in a way that sounds good. Its intimidating opening fl studio or ableton for the first time and going holy shit what does any of this do. It takes time and effort to master but skrillex and san holo show what mastering your craft can really do.
This makes me see how the simplest sounds blended together can create really powerful unique sounds.. thank you for sharing. This makes me wonder what combinations i can make with my arsenal of sounds
I love the honesty about how simple the sounds are to make. I tell my students this all the time- the actual melody/harmony/rhythm you compose will almost always play a bigger role in the music than the sound design. But it's when you get all that AND the sound design on point that, you'll have something special on your hands. Also love seeing this 10y/o synth (Massive) still being used in popular music. Don't fix what ain't broke!
Torbjørn Agree to disagree? There are many genres where there is hardly any melody. Many songs would fall apart if it weren’t for good sound design. Take the classic song “Pump” by Valentino Khan. Extremely minimalist melody, just good rhythm, sample choice and sound design on the bass. If that track had mediocre sound design it would be absolute garbage. Just play it on a piano and see how it sounds lol.
Sound design has become almost more of a flex in recent edm than melodic structure. The thing that blew my mind most about sound design is that the simplest waveforms - sine,sq,saw create the best sounds, then you may tweak it into textures with other waveforms/fix etc. but it’s the basic shapes that are most powerful. But in the end yeah you’re right when you get both sound design and melody mixed perfectly into a track it is next level unparalleled
This is so good. I really love how he used auto pan to create stutter effect. I never would have guessed that plug in had that feature. This completely blew me away.
I really enjoyed the eq techniques and how he uses them to make his sounds sound amazing. Sometimes there can be soo many guides and rules to an eq and your just like "maybe I shouldn't do that" but that's not the case at all! If it sounds great do it such as what he did with the kick and snare. Thank you!
Awesome insight into the process, I think the most amazing part of it was how you use mainly stock Live plugins to mix and design your sounds. Impressive! Would have loved to see your arrangement process/choices as well as the theory. Thanks!
Wow this was massively helpful to show the power of Ableton! What a great find! Thanks San HOLOOOOO. I didn't know what half the plugins were for !!! hahah
tip: portamento (what san's talking about in around 15:50) is also in serum too! it's at the bottom to the right of the keyboard stuff. and yes, it's about as godly as san says it is.
love the music prodution community. doesn't matter if its the "big names" or random people commenting on youtube and blogs. across the board its a very supportive positive community .
Thanks A Lot San Holo And Cymatics For Bringing This Million Dollar Tutorial..........It Was Very Motivational , Specially The Vocal Synth Part , Haha And Thanks For The Free Pack , I'll Be Joining The Competition , Let's See How Much I Can Do With It ....... Thanks Again

lets collab, san holo.
Like u and your tracks . God bless u .
This is the most interesting music video ever and Iv watched like half of them.
Thanks for the nice tutorial! :D
San Holo is the Bob Ross of EDM. Such a soothing, peaceful tutorial. Happy little sine waves...
jajajaj u are so right
no no...ruclips.net/user/SadowickProduction he is the bob ross of production. go ahead, get lost in his voice :)
💯💯💯💯💯
Hahaha, happy little sine waves. I'm dead
I'd say the same
Video: How I Made Light
What I learned: How to use massive
haha
this is what am trying to say
"It's ugly but i like ugly"
-San Holo
This man's awesome 🔥
One of the coolest things is him listening to his own sound for a sec and then somehow remembering how to make it
He likes to keep it simple, that's why he remembers it so easily, it's great to see that you don't need a huge complex patch to make a really great song, he uses just enough for it to have a great effect.
Thanks for the pack guys that's really nice to give those very good samples away for free!
Oh hey, bro. Love your music and videos!
You are here
Hola Asher
I think "You can barely hear it, but it's there," has got to be one of the most said phrases in music production history.
Nah the most said phrase is
Fl engine.exe has stopped working..
It's very important too. In itself it doesn't sound like much but all these little tweaks put together make a huge difference.
@@samaron facts
@@TiagoMilanov get a better DAW!! 😋😁
@@vikramdhillonvikram i already use too many 😔
12:52 he missed an opportunity to say i'm a MASSIVE fan of massive
Was literally coming here to write this very comment hahahah
This is amazing! Producers: Notice the volume levels of all tracks. VERY MODERATE! You don't need to crank every single sound. It all gets leveled nice and loud in the end!
Minty Swirl it’s shocking how quiet background elements can be
I really wish DROELOE could do this as well, they really do bangers!
seriously and such detail in their mixes
@@swopeboi yep
omg yesss
Part Native, Disto, Verzache, Bandlez, Grabbitz, NXSTY, HEKLER, & Badrapper. That's only a few but they are my favorites and they need to be done.
YESS! I'd love this!
So crazy how the sounds he uses blend together. Some of those sounds I would have never even thought of using, but he layered them so well and it sounds amazing. Very helpful and inspiring video

Thank you San!!! I appreciate you trying to help us out. 🙏
Always a treat to see an artist so hyped on their own content. Every classic piece of music is a gift from the eternal, to witness this level of gratitude is inspiring.
This video has totally inspired me to start music production. Been producing for about 5 months now and love it. Thank you San
This is so awesome, thank you so much for making this available for everyone. Love you guys
Amazing workshop! So much useful information here. The section on bussing is brilliant and I had never thought to do that. It's also interesting to see Sander go counter to a lot of EQ tutorials out there. Lots of boosts and not many cuts. Really interesting! And the sound design tutorials were phenomenal.

Love love love this!!! Took some great notes. Thanks as always San
That Sylenth default preset 😂 gets me every time
The biggest take away from this workshop: production rules/guidelines do not matter. How it sounds is all that matters.
KATRIX 100%. So much shit I didn’t do because I was told you shouldn’t but where has that gotten me lol
Golden rule has always been: "If it sounds good, it is good."
WOW, I have seriously NEVER heard this advice before! Thank you so much! It has helped me beyond belief, even so much that my new track I dropped just went Triple Stainless Steel on PornHub.
@@fredthebasspro2256😂😂🤣🤣
@Austin dancing naked by the fat rat comes to mind lol
This is amazing, love seeing insights into my favourite artists workflow and techniques, so inspiring 🙏🏼♾❤️
24:00
you can make it not boring by making it sound very very strong.
*shows strong coffee to camera*
Thanks to both San & Cymatics for putting this workshop together.
The mastering portion really helped me get better control over my low frequencies and percussion.
Thanks a million. :)
Thank you so much dear sweet teacher San, this was SO helpful!! I learnt heaps! Much love to you
I highly appreciate it when big names intend to help us, beginners, out.
Such workshops are so valuable; they really are.
P.S: God bless that drop snare from "Light" .
And if only San included that "swirl" sample in the pack you guys released, it would've been so cool 😂😂😂
it’s “twirl” btw
It's Swirl. Confirmed by San years ago.
@Loe Meija Now I could die with no regrets 😂
As much as I love San, this was just a marketing opportunity for him. All the Cymatics team wants is your email so they can sell the fuck out of that shit. They blow up my feed with ads and shit with workshops from Kompany, and other artists like San, yet it's pretty obvious all they want to do is get your email out of it lmao
True that, I've watched three times the song is so simple a base idea the layers and plug-in sound design just blow it out the water
THANK YOU SAN! Such workshops are so blessed
This was so inspiring and refreshing tutorial! Thank you so much, San!!
Thank you so much San Holo and Cymatics! Can't wait to learn how to produce music myself!
Sander is a musician's musician. Totally off the wall, random and all over the place. I love it. I wasn't sure if this video would really deliver but DAMN. Ton of nuggets, like the trick of reverbing a sample on a separate track (if you have the CPU to spare....) and Autopan basically as a sidechain. I was also blown away by how simple the synths are. He nailed it when he said something to the effect of "the little changes in detail are what make all the difference to me". Well done Cymatics, well done.
Wow sounds so simple but looks so advanced 😄
I still like the sound and big probs for the work!
When i heard the song first (i think it was late 2016 or early 17) it was a mindblow.
And it starts all with We Rise ❤️
Love that Guy.
San Holo makes producing and sound design so approachable, I really appreciate the fact he’s taken time to do these videos, literally binging all the information I can get from these kinda uploads from him , what a beast

Really apreciate the help adn the free workshop hope we can see more from him on a close future
Love the skrillex logo ❤️
This is great quality for sure but it brightens up my day to see San Holo being a positive guy. Much Love :D
Awesome stuff as usual!
Thanks Cymatics and San.
Amazing been waiting since he deconstructed one thing for another video for another one of his tracks! So helpful
Wow this is awesome. Learned so much. Please keep doing these!
Mr. Holo, thanks for sharing. You rock! Picked up so many tips from this workshop.
Such a cool guy! It's always a pleasure to have a look inside an artist work of art :)
I learned a ton from this walkthrough! Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Felling inspired now
San Holo "I don't use Reverb busses"
Cymatics guy: "Where shall we put the video of you talking Mr Holo?"
San Holo: "Just put me in the top right to hide the cpu"
the part with the chords and drums together is really insane :) best regards from Germany
A full page of new tips and tricks. Thanks You Cymatics and San Holo!
Some good tricks here. Best thing I got out of this video was keeping it simple with sound design.
thank you for sharing that routing, amazingly simple and effective
I cant seem to get the return tracks to go to return d I have it set up as I see, and advice thank you?
throughly enjoyed that workshop. Learned a lot. I will most likely watch it several more times after I try a few of his techniques.
San Holo does a workshop, Skrillex shows his project files, its been an interesting few days I should say.
@Phillip Price RUclips
Its so inspiring to know that all it really takes is a really good understanding of your program and plugins. After that it comes from pure creativity and using those tools in a way that sounds good. Its intimidating opening fl studio or ableton for the first time and going holy shit what does any of this do.

doesn't make a difference
Skrillex should make a tutorial then we can die and go to Heaven
@@realgilla108bro you know he doesn’t want to give away his secret formula
Thank you for this and everything you've done.
I absolutely LOVED this video. You and I are much alike personality wise. Stay cool bro and stay San Holo cuz we love you bro. Cheers.
can't express how thankful i am to have this workshop in my life rn!
Thanks for the video, it helps a lot to learn from your favorite artist! :)
Thank you so much! You are such a great person as a great musician...
A really good explanation for a clear separated defined sound.
This makes me see how the simplest sounds blended together can create really powerful unique sounds.. thank you for sharing. This makes me wonder what combinations i can make with my arsenal of sounds
This did inspire me to start marking music. Thank you San
I really benefited from this ... you are really talented and underrated. Keep it up!
Light just needed more cowbell all along lol i never would have picked that out. You're awesome man, much love, thanks for sharing!
So dope. Just when I wanted to say “bless you” for sneezing, you drop the “blessed” 808. 🤣😂
Really dope sounds thanks for inspiration and for sharing!
Absolutely love this track, such a banger
Thank you cymatics !! this was really helpful!
he actually opened the project in 2018 guys, just loaded now...
Cymatics i fkin love you guys for this !!! Also thanks San for breaking down such a great song : )
THANK YOU CYMATICS!! you guys rock!!

We need this more and more! Wuhu ❤️ dopest👍💕good tutorials
This was great!.. more more lol!! Thanks San Holo and Cymatics team! :)

San holo: Now, let's go to the real part.
Build-up: am I a joke to you ¿
This so precious man. thanks cymatics!
Damn San your bussing trick for a clean mix is fņ great!!
HOLY SHIT THIS IS AMAZING!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS :)
Awesome insight into the process, I think the most amazing part of it was how you use mainly stock Live plugins to mix and design your sounds. Impressive! Would have loved to see your arrangement process/choices as well as the theory. Thanks!
Wow this was massively helpful to show the power of Ableton! What a great find! Thanks San HOLOOOOO. I didn't know what half the plugins were for !!! hahah
Watched the first minutes of the masterclass and learned so many usefull things. Thanks Holo:)
tip: portamento (what san's talking about in around 15:50) is also in serum too! it's at the bottom to the right of the keyboard stuff.
and yes, it's about as godly as san says it is.
One little parameter that can change your expression soo much. It's also in Novation V-Station.
I learn the most from "Full Song" Walkthroughs"
THANK YOU San holo!
Really really inspiring. You should do more of these
*sneezes* I naturally wanted to say bless you
but you are clearly already blessed with a "blessed" 808
Really enjoyed the tips and the tune. Thanks!
This is the holy grail of a music production workshops
love this man and his epic beard lol
