Great! 🤘🏿
This is possibly the first time I’ve seen s RUclips video with a “clickbaity” thumbnail using the arrow to point to something, where that something is actually relevant. Because yes, a band pass filter is the key element to all things Psy. Thank you for not just drawing an arrow pointing at something random
You're welcome. I actually designed these not to long ago so I had to go back and see which part of the patch was important...
I AM HONESTLY SO AMAZED BY YOUR VIDEOS! not a lot of unecessary talk, just pure information. Thank you so much for improving my psytrance! I would have never thought about going into the matrix on serum. To be honest i never touched that. Thank you so muuuuuuch
Thanks a lot man! that means really much to me! Welcome to the channel
Thanks man! Your toots are a light in these dark times. Hope you guys are safe and comfortable 🙏
I prefer to come back to your stuff & vids all the time, bro.
Usually its just kind of refreshing me for some more inspiration feelings & also killing the emptiness that we all are meeting sometimes
Thanks for that:))
Thanks man! that's really cool to hear!
I've only listened to the sounds so far and they're COOL.
Thanks, don't mind the rest of the tutorial ahah I was just starting out so I didn't know how to talk to a camera yet ahgah
Bjorn Ironside! hahahahah
i thought the same
lol
Lol
The delay/pattern match technique was a nice ‘aha!’ moment! Thanks for sharing!
You're welcome! Hope you enjoy using this trick!
Thank you man! a beginner here and it seems i'm learning a lot, cant wait to put my hand on serum soon
It's really good even though it's a decade old I think...
Feels crazy to me how you could know all this stuff! Thanks a lot, especially the squelch sound I think I will use quite a bit.
Ive been producing for 20+ years. This is good but actually quite basic. This comment makes me realise just how deep and vast our knowledge as Producers really is. It's all like automatic and second nature at this stage.
@@mackcarlo Well... I've been producing for at least 20 years too! I always found that fiddling around with knobs and sliders in synths are usually kind of unintuitive and I don't notice any difference, and when I *do* notice a difference I don't know how it changes the sound so I don't really learn anything from it. So in the end I don't know what I am doing and am stuck using pre-made presets, except for changing some basic effect sliders like reverb, phaser or similar.
It feels sad because I have tons of creativity but because I think it's so difficult to use synths to their full potential it just holds me back so much.
This is more when it comes to psytrance in general, but another similar problem is I found that bass sound presets for synths always sound like trash so I am stuck using bass samples from sample packs in order to make a bassline that sounds good and modern. One of many reasons I haven't produced a track for 4 years...
@@Spiriax here’s some advice for Synths. Focus on using the decay, sustain and release knobs on the Filter Envelope section and turn up the Env Amount on that section! If you have the attack set at 0 or instant.. Then turn up the Env Amount to 75% (or 3oclock)…
Then play with the decay and have it short… about 10 to 20%… So you don’t over complicate things.. Have just the single OSC Oscillator turned on and use the Saw Wave shape for a Bass.
The ADSR on your AMP Envelope section is equally important. You don’t want a long sustain or release on a Bass sound for example! You want an instant 0% attack for them snappy bass sounds.
The ADSR on Synths on the Filter section and Amp section are the key to shaping your sound! Making sure you have only a single Osc turned on first and playing with that single sound is also a good place to start!
Peace ✌️
@@mackcarlo Thanks a lot for those tips! I'll make sure to go through it diligently once I try produce again. 😊👌
Actually looking for some house sound design but this has been the clearest vieuw on the kind of sounds i wan to make so far. Thank you for sharing!!
ahh thanks! I'm glad I could help, even though I don't do house music!
The youtube algorithm sent me this video. I decided to watch and learn even more, I just have to thank you for how much you help to evolve my songs. again, thank you very much for the teachings. I will use these elements on the next track and will show them less in the feedbacks. 👽🛸
Thanks man! I'm so glad I can help so many people! BTW I have a whole playlist dedicated to sound design specific tutorials & individual synth sounds: ruclips.net/p/PLiHjNW26F3PtOLd3NI-tdadSuHGBVJzKm
@@Projektor_music very nice you have so many importants videos i need to see. I ll definetly check it later, always learning and creating my own presets with your classes
@@archdelic Nice Thanks for enjoying & supporting the content!

Helps a lot for goa trance🤙soon you 'll hear your synth on my psy 😆 thank you bro, wish you good vibes🕉
Great! join my discord and send me a track when you finish!
@@Projektor_music soon bro soon :)
Thanks for sharing mate, very useful and great sound design tips 🙏
My pleasure!
Thanks mate! Great video
Thanks man!
This is insaaaaane! Thank you so muchhH!
=)
you're welcome! glad the old content still gets some love.
Thanks for sharing this valuable insights into musicproduction!
you're welcome bro! glad you like it!
Amazing, thank you!
thank u so much u opened my mind
you're welcome!
Amazing tutorial
You are awesome! tnx for sharing your knowledge
No problem! Thanks for watching!
simple but effective. thanks alot!
Hey, thanks for the video. Quick question: when making the squelch sound, or generally working with band-pass filters and automating them, I notice a distinct jump/stutter when I use an LFO to automate the cut-off. Different resonance values / etc. change where this jump happens, but it's audible enough to sound good. Usually about half-way through the bar. Any suggestions for dealing with this? I tested this with Serum, Vital, and another synth, they all have this problem.
super cool video, useful for techno as well
Thank you so much!
Glad to help!
AMAZING TUTORIAL! THANKS!
Very useful stuff! Thank you!
thanks man. love this.
Thanks man! Glad you liked it!
Amazing !!
Good vid 👍🏼
Thanks! I did another one here: ruclips.net/video/Bp5L11rRwsc/видео.html
Awesome! Am I the only one hearing the goshts in the back? XD
thanks for this!
No problem!
my macro knob doesnt move i have fl studio
Hey you are a amazing teacher.
Also i have the same headphones senheiser HD and i ask my self if is posible made mastering tracks Whit this because i dont have monitors but i have my stereo, for made reference and another this for listen more references but on this headphones is posible made good masterings?
Love you man
Hey, on the first sound you start by drawing in automation but don't say exactly what parameter you're automating. What are you automating in the automation lane?
I'm automating macro 1 which is routed to the filter cutoff...
@@Projektor_music Thanks for the reply. Try as I might I can't replicate your first sound. Your saw wave is very clicky. Mine has no clicks at all unless I drop heaps of octaves. It sounds like a smooth saw with the bandpass running up and down :( I followed every step exactly (in FL) not sure how to make it 'click'. Thanks anyway.
@@switchmain1956 You want to play it as the sub bass octave. i don't know which octave it is in fl's piano roll but I use the 0 octave on ableton!
@@switchmain1956 You can also use a pitch bend upward to go from smooth to clicky which is a really cool effect. If you do it fast enough like within a 1/8 note it can be used in the drop as a rhythmic element too!
Thank you so much! I'll give it a try today - good to know I was on the right path with the octaves. Thanks again, your diligent replies put your tutorials in a class of their own.
Thanks!
can you please help us with patterns and scales to use this effects ?
Most of them require you to hold down a single note, or play fast 16th notes. I'd personally always trigger sounds in the sub bass register to start with when experimenting with which key to use...
thank you😀
Thank you .
You are welcome!
HI IM USING CUBASE AND I DIDNT UNDERSTAND WHICH AUTOMATION DID YOU USED?
I'm automating the macro, which in term is modulating the parameters inside serum
epic dude.
What octave are you playing each of the sounds in ?
I think they all play the bass octave, but you can experiment with that to get brighter sounds, especially for the squelches
thanks!!
Awesome 👍 +1 sub
Thanks for the sub
I made each one!
Cool I'm glad you like them! Let me hear if you can use them in your tracks!
@@Projektor_music OK I will.
So your not using a midi keyboard AT ALL for making any of these sounds?
I dont get it...
no Ableton takes input from my standard keyboard so I can trigger sounds with that...
Great!
How does your first sound sounds so clicky? mine is just a normal beeeeeep XD
Did you automate the macro?
@@Projektor_music yes. but i think wrong. do you have a tutorial for that?
@@Projektor_musichow do I automate it on cubase do u know?
@@TRAVELLER-PsyTrance I have no idea...
@@Sohneg I know this is late but try lowering the octave
what is lead ?
Bjorn ironside ?
I get that a lot yeah
I didnt know bjorn from Vikings made psytrance
I'm actually Vida Domagoj, the Croatian football player...
When this guy grows up he will become Bjorn Ironside
I have couple of tips for you.Never increase fat on filter because it gets really loud and hard to eq and in stereo field group of frequencies are fucked up.If you want to fatten the soumd use saturator,distortion and compression.Next thing is fx in serum.Its way better to use fx from external plugins,you can even use stock ones for reverb and delay.Third and by all means most imoprtant part is phasing.Phasing can really fuck up your sound.Phase is set where waveform is cutting with himself.Quality of overall mix depends on phase transpositioning so its better to set phase and rand to zero and play with voices
serum fx are really good though
@@profet1385 Yes ofcourse.I agree.My opinion was based on something totally different
Hey, The fat knob applies an analogue stile drive to the frequencies around the filter cutoff. I use this button together with resonance to dial in nicer tones around the cutoff frequency! For your second point, I wanted to show how good you can make sounds within serum. Even though I agree external FX are better for the sound, I wanted to keep in mind that some people aren't great producers and that they might find the video too complicated to follow when I start adding too many plugins/effects. Again, you are right in this case, but for the sake of the tutorial it's better to use the internal FX!
Your last point, though, is a bit weirder. I assume you're talking about either "phase distortion" or "phase cancellation" which are 2 important but very different terms. Phase Distortion is a term used to describe the effect filters have on the phase of individual harmonics of a signal, while phase cancellation is a term used to describe the effect where 2 signals might lose all or part of it's spectrum content or volume because it's paired with a similar, but out of phase signal.
Now for your main point: In the case of these sounds in the video, we are mostly dealing with phase distortion form the huge amount of filtering we do (Remember that steeper filters, which contribute to the psytrance sound, introduce more phase distortion). Therefor setting the phase to a certain value is not going t mean anything because of the phase distortion which is introduced later. Furthermore phase cancellation's effect is much more noticeable on lower frequencies. Finally the delay and reverb introduce another possibility of phase issues, both through their filters and the fact that they preform a time based effect. All together this means that setting a predetermined phase for your sound really doesn't do anything for the sound as there is too much uncertainty in the later processing to really make a difference.
Sorry for this long wall of text but I just wanted to clear this up! Cheers!
@@Projektor_music you dont need to be sorry for sharing ypur opinion.I totally agree with you and im glad that we haved normal conversation with amount of opinions.Can you send me your sc so i can follow you
@@Projektor_music Btw,wyczuwam polski akcent. Zgadłem, towarzyszu? :)
