The secret sauce in your tutorials is the subject material you're using, so kudos! Even with techniques I'm familiar with (such as this), your videos are super inspiring.
Well done on the color scheme in Ableton! The colors of Ukraine! As a Canadian man who lived and was married in Donetsk i the Donbass region, I know that your support is greatly appreciated!
You can create a Options.txt file in your ableton live folder and add the line -_PluginAutoPopulateThreshold=128 that way ableton automatically populates the plugin parameter list up to 128 parameters. so you don't have to turn the knobs or make changes to the parameters inside the plugin in order to appear in the parameter list of ableton. There's a lot other useful stuff you can activate or change with adding specific lines to the options.txt
This is a lightening tour of a big concept, particularly when you add in the additional dimension of building multiple effects into the brew. I'm sure this will open up a whole new world of experimentation.
Thanks Oscar, you've delivered this video right on time! I've just started to work on a pop-reggae track where dub delay will be crucial, and now I know how to make it sound right
Awesome tutorial, I have actually tried this when experimenting but didn't think to use the MIDI keyboard to have better control. This tutorial, as yours always do, had resulted in sparks in my brain and ideas are starting to generate for my next track using this technique. It's no wonder this channel is nearing 200k and rising fast. Awesome, thanks Oscar.
Some great moves in here absolutely love this. I tend to use them (dubby effects) as standard (i usually use two on two separate send channels and send one right and one left, with a change in the feedback level on each) but you've given me a whole new way to use those particular effects with the advice to push to audio. Thank you so much man.
Tremendous! Thank you so much for making this video. I wish you could have seen my face the moment I realized what you were doing and my mind blew out the top of my head. :D
just tested this thingy on my actual Neurofunk project and MAN this is so amazing. The automation part was most fun. I also experimented with panning automation and this dub feedback trick spices so much up. 20/10!
That's a great tip! To add movement and variation to the sound you can also modulate certain parameters with a slow LFO or use a subtle flanger effect depending what you are going for
Really enjoying your tutorials. Some great food for thought here. And presented in a very easy to understand manner. I’m already seeing improvements in the low end of my tracks from watching one of your other videos, the one where you discussed the “cloakroom check” which I thought was a really good idea.
Richie Hawtin and Lexicon PSP42 + MIDI controller and even expression pedal mapped to the feedback. I can say, this was the main reason, why I have bought the Model1 and started to learn DJ'ing in my 40. :D The dub/reverb/delay effect sometimes even transforming into a metallic sound with this tipe of effect usage like in this video. It sounds incredible!
very cool video... I learned a lot. In the video you advocate to bounce various versions of the technique to audio and then chop it up later. I was wondering if it wouldn't also make sense to just automate the settings you have MIDI-mapped instead, rather than making loops. I guess it's similar in the end though. When I was watching, the 1st thing I thought of when you said "let in a little slice of sound to the delay" was automation.
Honestly I often end up automating things because I'm too lazy to set up the midi controller :) But that definitely risks leading to more robotic sounding stuff, so I guess I advocate for the MIDI controller method :D
Thanks, this is a great tip. Side question: what's that MIDI controller you held up to show us? It looks nice and compact and would suit my limited desk space. Thanks!
the small faderfox controllers are amazing. i can not recommend the faderfox EC-4 enough. 16 programs each containing 16 banks of 16 controls (endless encoders, with a four digit display each) makes for over 4000 adressable parameters. also, faderfox is basically a one man show and much worth supporting.
Hi Oscar! Where do you get (most of) your samples from? Anything from drums to melodies. I'm into darker jacking techno and looking to expand my library. Thanks in advance, I've been learning a lot from you!!
Hi Oscar! Can you give a bit more explanation on the purpose of limiters on feedback loops (refering to your comment about "for your ears, for your mind, for your sanity) Thank you sensei!
The feedback loop can grow and grow and get insanely loud... which can damage your hearing and equipment. A limiter will save your speakers (and ears) from exploding!
1:25 Using Velocity instead of volume before delay works the same? For example 1 note have much higher velocity than the others. Which makes it louder and more delay effect with the same mix/feedback parameters.
Is there any small midi controller you'd recommend for mapping faders and knobs to? I used to have one of those Novation Launchkeys, but recently got an arturia Keystep because of how much nicer the keys are, and it doesn't have any knobs (not that upset, the keyboard more than makes up for the lack of knobs). That little device you showed on screen looked sort of what I'd want. I just would like an option that isn't too spendy but gets the job done.
true dub step sound will take about 1 year of practicing feedback, oscillations, delay and how it functions, EQ (Audio morphing), intricate use of Distortion and proper drive levels. and he is right, you will need a limiter... you could end your career if you do not practice these things safely.
It's a faderfox! They're relatively expensive but very sturdy and reliable. Honestly I use it less than I should :D so I'd say don't overthink it unless you're certain that you need to upgrade.
This technique is a huge reason why I love modular synths. And of course using a mixing board with lots of sends and more channels than you need for inputs. Fuck your returns, send that shit to another channel so you can go nuts with controlled feedback while being able to keep it reeled in.

as soon as i used the same clip colors like you, my tracks got suddenly better!
uhh I can really TASTE the crispyness of your sound!

Believe it or not, I just put this into practice a couple of hours ago. It made this 303 pattern I am working on so much richer and diverse👍🏼
Awesome :)

incredible to see the improvement of this channel over the last 2 years. amazing content!
as a dub techno lover i gotta say this video is cool, i love using delays when using my synths
Watched all your videos. You have inspired me to start creating. I will make sure to gift myself with your course for my birthday. Thank you :)
Invaluable information my man , especially for a newb

No doubt I will buy your course in a few months as soon as I finish something I'm doing now. Thanks!.
Your videos are unbelievably good. Every time. Many thanks as always!
Great video!
Hey Oscar, you're a good teacher :) Keep it up !
Thanks homie! Keep’em coming.
Listening to a 651-song dub techno Spotify playlist and this just got posted. 😁

This channel is GOLD.
Hey you explained this really well so thanks!
back when I was first dabbling with DAWs I learned about using limiters the hard way when messing with feedback, multiple times lol.
Just tried it out with simple TD3 loop... Results are amazing and I can't stop playing around with the knobs 😂
Banger of a video as always
Good man keep them coming we appreciate your help 👌😎☮
Thank you so much for all your work !
Heaven sent tutorials
This is awesome! Could you possibly do the “growls” we have in a lot of dubstep?
This video is
A Love to watch
Incredible tutorial, really informative. thank you 🫶🏻
Also good thing is to send delay return track to itself.
Great information about recording into return tracks, very useful!! :)

Like what you did with the stem colors, there.
Shared love in the comments 🙂
Great Video
Great vid and explanations. As always 🙂
Mans massively underrated
What is that midi controller you showed at the beginning of part 3? I desperately need one exactly like that. Not too big and not too small.
Looks like the FADERFOX UC4.
Thanks a lot for the great video, lately I was looking in to this topic I would like to recreate something like 'puscifer doma ' ... Not so easy
Thanks for sharing 👍 🛎
LOVE
i'm coming to Brussels

I'd say you kind of forgot about the filter in the feedback.

The feedback loop can grow and grow and get insanely loud... which can damage your hearing and equipment. A limiter will save your speakers (and ears) from exploding!
@@gwads5404 ahhh that explains this echo effect I had used on a vocal during a break that would ring my ear until turned off. Thank you very much!

Hey mate. Does your course cover dawless hardware production or is it just for ableton?
Dub from dub reggae pioneered by engineer and producer Lee Scratch Perry who was a wizard.
true dub step sound will take about 1 year of practicing feedback, oscillations, delay and how it functions, EQ (Audio morphing), intricate use of Distortion and proper drive levels. and he is right, you will need a limiter... you could end your career if you do not practice these things safely.
why the wet feature makes the quality sound better with reverb ?
what's that mini console called ?
emojis in the track name is crazy
what midi controller in your hand at 3.02 may I ask?
What is the midi controller that you briefly show at 3:03?
OSCAR the best one
what is the midi controller he is showing?
Faderfox UC4
sound design is for a talented ear not all are bless with it
03:07 that is a nice controller(issh..?) may I ask what is it?
It's a faderfox! They're relatively expensive but very sturdy and reliable. Honestly I use it less than I should :D so I'd say don't overthink it unless you're certain that you need to upgrade.
2:38 hahaha true XD
Yeah! shrimps
they just belong there haha
Can anyone identify Oscar’s MIDI controller?
It's the Faderfox UC4
What’s that device at 3:03?
A Faderfox UC4 I believe :)
@@OscarUnderdog thank you 🙌

mmmh, "dub" is not really dub in this case
No advices just talking your mouth off what a waste of time
