    "A good sample is a good sample. I don't think any producer should ever feel bad about using samples because I believe that the idea and the concept of a song belongs to you." Amen to that. Making music never should be about elitism or about "I only use organically grown, gluten free sounds that I painstakingly programmed myself during a spiritual DMT breakthrough phase last winter." Making music should always be about making good music that you and the people you make it for like. If someone offers an amazing sample, I will use that as long as it makes my song better. There is no shame in that. It's a collaboration between artists. A nod of respect towards whoever created that sound that pushed my song into the "Alright LET'S GO!" territory.

      Yes! Use whatever sounds good to you. No matter what it is. There are all those "EDM/Producer Elitists" that think if you didn't make every single sound from scratch, your song is bad. But damn, those people have no idea how music works. They're on top of Mt. Stupid from the Dunning-Kruger Effect.

      You are pretty much unable to move during a DMT breakthrough, just sayin xD I don't care if other people use Samples, but I personally just wanna know what's going on in my sounds, just because that's what my nerdy self is interested in. But do whatever floats your boat, really. Everyone has his own musical area where he excells in, so it only makes sense to push yourself in that area.

  • @notalone-fs7ys
    @notalone-fs7ys 6 лет назад +122

    I respect gammer for telling the truth about his sound design and sampling process on this track, You dont have to reinvent the wheel everytime you make a track. The most important part of the track is that it's YOUR idea. That's all that matters in the end.

  • @firstlast1569
    @firstlast1569 6 лет назад +44

    The track is certainly banging, definitely not my favorite sort of thing. What impresses me about this video is how honest this producer is. He’s not hiding behind a bunch of tired one liner… “You got to use just a little compression, and then you don’t even really have to use compression.... I use a certain plug-in yada yada yada… That I’m not gonna show you because I’m a rich douche” this guy shows everything he uses and everything he thought about using. Producers should take note of this guys attitude.

    • @sumyungduhmho5975
      @sumyungduhmho5975 5 лет назад

      For some cases yes when youre using samples from professional packs some come compressed already so you dont need more compression but what if your samples just weak or unprocessed then compressions beneficial

    Gammer, you're a sick producer. Total respect and great tutorial. Love the drop track, keep em coming

  • @youngfrantz5109
    @youngfrantz5109 5 лет назад +1

    He said something that stood out to me and that was basically don't be ashamed of the tools or sounds you are given because at the end of the day, the skill is in making those tools and sounds become something great. Anyone can download presets (like Gammer has lol) but actually using them and making a good song is something totally different.
    Before watching this vid, I thought the production behind this song was very complicated. Similar to a VR song that has like +60 tracks inside of it. Only to watch this vid and see at most it has maybe 20. This is amazing.

  • @mariomazerati

    • @morgan9904
      @morgan9904 6 лет назад +6

      Saint Nicholas In the mind of a producer this is simple. As an Ableton user I understand a lot of what Gammer is talking about

    • @morgan9904
      @morgan9904 6 лет назад +2

      Saint Nicholas Multiple tracks today contain multiple layers of sound. Virtual Riot for example, can have over 100 layers (or “tracks”) to a completed song.

    • @morgan9904
      @morgan9904 6 лет назад +2

      Saint Nicholas More layers of sounds = richer sound, better sounding track, etc etc

    • @roborobmusic
      @roborobmusic 6 лет назад +1

      Saint Nicholas from a standpoint of sound design it's very simple but it works and I love all the sampling and how open he is about using them then post processing. Great tutorial and again it's simple from a producer's standpoint but I can see how it might look complicated. I want more of these process vids haha
