cannot believe i'm actually excited to watch production tutorial after all these years
It absolutely baffles me how you make such masterful content, AND make it this accessible. Just want to say a massive thank you for inspiring and helping so many new artists, including myself!
where the silence in between the notes is even more important than the notes themselves
I believe both Mozart and Debussy said something similar yes
@@Bthelick The silence in Barbers Adagio for strings...best silence ever 😉
I liked it without even watching 5 seconds, I know it will be awesome.
Elegant solution. Genius.
So she lied to me? Length does matter… 😂 absolutely love these videos man thank you
That happens all the time when you write lines with your mouse. That's why after I draw the main idea I play it with a midi keyboard after. Then you get all these tasty notes in a more natural way, IMO.
Very good reminder by the way. As you said, sometimes you get too lazy.
Great content as always!
after listening to the examples on both headphones and just phone speaker, the biggest difference is that the longer lead notes don't let the bass notes poke through as much or as independently. Giving the bassline some room to breathe and some notes poking through between lead notes also is another element of bounciness to a track. Great video, I learned a lot.
Yes well spotted it's also good for mix space 👊
Why are your videos always Gold? This is becoming one of my fav music making channels.
I wasn't able to guess that it was the note length that was different, but I noticed that the second examples always sounded much cleaner to me; so I guess the gaps from the shortened note lengths was making it sound less messy/more clear? Maybe it's just me 😅 Great insight as always! 👌
The legend strikes back
O B Wann of music production.
It's just like how musicians play their (real) instrument. That's why it is also so nice and natural for our ears .
Man, I love that intro song😩Thank you for covering this specific topic! Amazing video as always!!
Thanks for sharing! So easy to get visually distracted
Also like to assign a slider control to the gate length when running a sequence out to a synth.
Every single video so far has been an been an absolute joy to behold. I'm so happy I stumbled on this channel. Superb.
Great video. I learned this myself by tweaking note lengths until I liked the groove. Slides are important for acid grooves!
This is insane how useful this is. Thanks a lot!
i liked the longer note examples
Always worth the wait!
Thanks for the tut
Feel that groove!
Let your body move to this tune!
another classic. you are undefeated
Your content is amazing 🙏🏿✨... Especially with different examples
Wow, I actually got that one correct on first listen. I'm well chuffed with that. 😀
Sounds great man, thanks for sharing. So pleased I bumped into this.
Thank you, sir. God bless you
Top. Much appreciate your practical guidances, Sir! Cheers!
Hey, love your channel and the content you share, I always pick up a new nugget of dance music know how., cheers.! That 2nd example you shared reminded me of the piano riff from ASHA - J.J. Tribute, very similar sounding to my ears. After listening to the riff.....you got my head bopping along to the rhythm and my brain sparking with creative ideas. Thanks so much.
Peace!
Thank you for these awesome tips. You're the best!
one of the few quizzes i got correct lol nice video
Неймовірна інформація, велике дякую, Маестро!!!
This is the tip I needed RIGHT NOW! Thank you my boy!
Love the video, love you finally pronouncing 'Et Cetera' correctly. 😅😋Spot on content as always, mister! Bigups!!
Haha really? How do I normally pronounce it??? I've never noticed clearly 🤣
Just saying hi from the Netherlands and thanking you for another great vid
One method of doing this, is if you can play chords or notes on a instrument (even if like myself it's only for two or three times). Is to make sure it's turned on before playing and then use the retrospective record feature in your DAW. This way you have human notes and velocities you can turn into a loop. You can also quantize as much or as little as you like.
I have always been taught in electronic genres to sidechain everything to the kick, especially have the bass at 100%/ducking 100%. But I notice in this video that you haven’t sidechained the bass in the disco track or the piano in the piano house track. Why? I always sidechain all elements when I have a 4 on 4 kick to get that rolling/pumping sound otherwise the drop can sound too familiar with the verses, breaks or build up. Would be interesting to hear your take on this!
Yes I side chain most things usually, bass for headroom and the rest for groove. The bass is side chained on the disco track, that's what the multiband is doing. I didn't think it warranted a separate sub track as I didn't need 'club' bottom end on that track, but I still needed to sidechain the different frequencies .
Re the piano there may be a sidechain on a group or I might not have needed one. Sometimes if I'm going for a more old school groove I don't use a side chain because they didn't.
Hi Bthelick huge fan can we get a tutorial on how to process vocals and make them sound dreamy
Well it's usually just a case of having a dreamy performance , then adding free Roth Air, and either Free reverb Endless or Dragonfly hall...
Possibly a good self TZ flanging tape delay like Nastydelay by VOS
@Bthelick thanks for the tip
Great video from morocco 🇲🇦 we need your book
So helpful, thank you!
That panned muted guitar is underrated. It does wonders
No filler all killer. Thanks again, your content is the dogs mate
Nice one thanks
Thank you so much!!
This great. first intro reminds me of RIDGE RACER aka rage racer. Be cool to have a disco house rage racer style tutorial
My hero
Would love to see how you developed the disco baseline. Sound a lot like Crazy P.
Thanks. Have a look at my house bass video, that explains more on the writing side
Great content! I was stumbling over this topic now and then anyway but never managed to see the connections in such a detailed and direct manner by myself.
the bass one sounds sooo much more interesting, changes the whole song
Damn that m1 progression is slick!
You’re the goat
ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙏🙏🙏🙏
Great vid thanks
These videos are mint man 🤣
Could you please do a video on how to use Live's swing/groove templates properly in dance music tracks?
What are you struggling with?
Do you mean you don't understand the groove system in Ableton ? How to apply grooves to clips etc?
Or more of the why and when?
I was gonna say sustain, almost there!!
Yeah basically same thing well spotted 👍
@Bthelick can I choose my prize???????
Hey Bthelick, I really appreciate your videos. You seem very knowledgeable, more so than most other teachers on youtube. It seems you come from years and years of legitimate music industry and production experience. Maybe you could tell us more about your background sometime I'm always curious. Also, any ideas for a course you would launch?
Btw I realize your videos here are essentially a free course lol @bthelick
These demos are epic!.. effect worked best for the 303 tune.. but hurt the piano and discovered one.
How absolutely supremely helpful!! Definitely going to be trying some of this, especially the bass tips.
thanks B! hope youve been doing well
Great tip and explanation. Your videos are always so pleasing to watch, even for those that don't producing tracks.
the disco and house songs are awesome are they released? and whats the name of the bass plugin thanks? (very juicy)
Amazing, as always
Thank you so much
Came at the perfect time as I was trying to figure out what was wrong in my groove. I’ll give it a try
That song at 11:23 is great. Release maybe?😭
Absolutely I release everything!
It's already in the queue.
Short instrumentals go out first to make things easier legally then the other edits will follow 👊
great content ! thanks :)
Splendid video as always, one question Mr.B, does the mixing affecting the grooves ? (e.g. the decay, the release, the attack, etc)
Yes mixing definitely affects groove too. what you describe there is more like sound design , and yes that matters too.
Love your video's dude. Thank you
thank you this is amazing! very usable love it
Nice 1
Thank You once again!!! What a well of knowledge! Cheers, Ben!
helpful video! thanks!
Your content is really insightful
While listening to the second sample, I thought that nothing has changed - that is, @Bthelick still brings the most value to RUclips in the field of music production, LOL. High five!
Dear Bthelick, can you please make video on muddy-ness? Your examples sound clean, yet when I make music no matter what kick sample I select, or how I design my bass patches they always seem to require removal of frequencies at around 200hz!
Well most sounds do have fundamentals in that range so it is a common area of overlap.
In truth I haven't had to think about it for a long time. Are you referencing?
thanks man.
always dropping gems💎
Simple yet effective tip, thanks teach👌
Great video.from Belgium.🤗
Can U tell next time bout accents in arrangement?
I'm not sure what you mean? Are you asking how to use the whole arrangement to make rhythmic accents?
at 2:17 my guess is lenght of midi notes, those ghost (runup/transfer/flam notes) im not sure how to call them xD
After second intro listening... could be a slight gate as well. but besically cleanup of sound.
Aww yeah... guessed it xD
God damn it so simple but so effective
Just wonderful. Where can I find the kick used in the Soul Disco example?
Thanks
Unfortunately I've been trying to make you a quick short reply for the last 2 days but all of RUclips's tech is currently broken and doesn't work.
The kick probably isn't what you think, there are two disco loops on top which are providing most of the flavor and "smack" , and that is probably the bulk of what you are hearing.
The kick itself is pretty dull and short it's called thud from a pack called soul wave 3 .
The top loops are "nightclub" from a Retro Strut pack, and "sweater" from an Oliver funk pack.
The top loops are high passed at 200ish
Hiiiigher Staaaaate of Coooonsciousnesssss 😁
Yes, I got it right!
Dynamite!
So interesting.
8:48 who would've thought that a free p-bass VST could sound this good, jaw dropped. Sad that it doesn't seem to support apple silicon though
An unlucky. Sorry I wasn't aware of that
Do you have tips about hearing loss and damage duo to music production?
Do you mean damage that has already happened or preventative steps beforehand?
primo content. to the point!
Very good, thanks! Sorry I did ask before but I've lost your answer: what is the piano plug-in that you're using please? I love its sound. Also what reverb are you using on it? Thanks.
It's the same patch from this video, all free plugins.
It's all shown and linked there.
ruclips.net/video/P14GY_Iu4zQ/видео.htmlsi=-dpEgcOm-B4EIMsJ
@@Bthelick Many thanks!
Note length
Edit: nice I was right 😀
Re edit: great video, been doing on lots from bass to synths to drums for so long that i dont even think about it anymore, its like autopilot for me now
Is that 303 a hardware synth or a VST? If you don't mind me asking.
Same synth I use for everything, Just the free Vital!
I used the same set up I show in the Josh Wink video.
Linked in the description 👊.
@Bthelick awesome thanks for letting me know ❤️🤙
Check out ABL2 or ABL3, it's not expensive and nobody will know that it's not a 303.
@EternityofNight thanks for the info, I have written a patch on Vital that works perfectly. Happy New Year ✌️
Very helpful stuff. Is the audio on purpose in mono?
Thankyou. It's not mono.
It is highly mono compatible though, because I make club music for a living and many clubs and especially festivals are mono playback.
@@Bthelick true! my mistake
Btw Ben, how did you create that plucky piano house bass? Is it just a simple saw wave with a low pass filter (that triggers on attack) and wider or is there more going on? Is the kick somehow also contributing to the feeling of wideness of the bass?
How I made that classic 90s piano house bass
I thought you had added some side chain.
That certainly does help with many groove types
Swing or triplets? My guess after example 2
You are the best
@Bthelick Hi Bthelick, thanks for another great video!
For the example with the Ample funky bass do you 1) layer with a sine wave sub? 2) Do you do any side chaining with the kick? I have always wondered with these types of basses thanks.
This time I didn't layer it. Real bass does sometimes need help in the subs as they can be 1st harmonic dominant, especially fender p basses. But this track I'm not going for 'club' bottom end, it's just a chill groove thing, so I decided it was good enough as is.
I used the Ableton multiband to sidechain the different frequency bands though.
@ thanks for the insight, really appreciated. Loving the channel!
South Africa is watching
Could you tell me what VST you used to get that piano? I'm trying to find pianos of that type from 1990, and I only have the Korg M1 (plugin) best regards
It is an M1, just a free sample.
It's exactly the same patch as shown and linked in the video in the description.
