Yo man, could you do a video focused on mixdown...compression, eq, side-mid, between basic elements such as drums, bass, synth, so it's pre-master standard? ^^
Legitimately love your content dude ,it's actually really helpful and I would love to buy your jungle kit and other stuff you do but I use FL studio . Any thoughts on you doing anything similar for us guys using FL studio .
Because of you, I could create my first track which became a banger within a couple days. Never been so thankful to a RUclipsr before. You deserve so much more attention!
Glad I found your channel man. I've been wanting to get into making DnB for awhile. Got a lot of inspiration from Danny Tha Wild Child, Phatom 45, and DJ 3D.
a lot of hisssssss on that parallel compression trick for the drums.... theres a really amazing video from Sonic Scoop on the "loudness wars" that details this "white noise" that compression adds to your tones. some people compress everything, and it may serve to minimize the frequency of compression with more gain and eq management. contradicting myself on tonight track though, currently compressing my lead line! the noise does CUT but its just NOISE, so be easy hahaha
Nice tutorials bro. I've had a look through a few of them and really enjoyed the Pigments video! I've been using Pigments for alot of ambient pads and had no idea it could produce horn bass and other worldly filth.
Hello Stranjah Very nice tutorial! I have learned a lot from you so far thank you! One question : Where did you get the Amen break from? I used a custom made amen break but I get really shitty hi-hats when I rearrange the hats..
Sick tutorial as always man. I'm down for a level 2 follow up as well. and just because I'm that guy... still waiting for the "Trash 2" tutorial you mentioned on your Amen break video. :) We all own Trash 2, I can't be the only one that will enjoy it. Just as a thought, in that video you used the hats from the Think Break to layer with the Amen and casually mentioned that maybe you'd do a Think Break tutorial down the road. Maybe combine the processing chain you used Trash 2 in with the Think Break tutorial. anywho, I'll walk myself out.
You should show them the other way to parallel with a dry wet stack chain. I like seeing the compression send with hi pass. I have never hi passed my compression send before.
Haven't used all of the techniques on your channel yet but I'm implimenting them where I can. Top top content for all of us bedroom selectors and proddys! Would love a video on that Lupo style high bass! ✌ + ❤
Stranjah, thank you for the video. To answer your question, I use stock drum sounds from Ableton mostly, but it depends on the genre of music. Your sample packs fill those needs. Thank you!
Why do you need stranjah to show you that? Mastering is the same for pretty much any electronic genre. Just watch the videos that are already out there.
Hey I just started producing recently :D my snares are just not tight enough in the mix would you say it's the overall length or the transient of the snare?
Might have to dig back in your videos (and all the ones I've seen are good) but what I would like is a follow along start to finish (this is why I chose this and panned it like this, this is how we make things sound cohesive etc etc)if that would be possible.? I've been trying to produce using FLstudio for years, always starting something but never finishing because I think it's crap, or it sounds good but doesn't sound right, and I have watched tons of videos on how to make this sound, these drums etc but their is nothing that can take someone who isn't quite a noob but still doesn't fully understand what to do if that makes sense. I know it sounds like a lot (and will probably get some stick) but I have loved trying to produce music but can't quite get the jist. Stupid noob type question that I can never find the answer too, do you have to have a audio interface if you have no desire to plug instruments/mics in? can hou use the output from pc if you want to use headphones (I use HD25Ps) or would a A I give a better representation of the frequencies that play through it compared to the PC jack?
Thanks for your questions and comments, good point about going more in detail about the mixing stage, will look into it. Yes an pro or semi-pro interface will reproduce certain frequencies better, for example I have seen better sub bass reproduction on an audio interface. That said, a PC output is good enough if you're not too fussy. I've produced on a Creative Soundblaster for 10 years (and got music signed) before getting a pro card.
@@STRANJAH Thanks for the reply. I will definitely have to look out for those vids. Would you do a subscribers track review/remake better type video that I have seen a few producer tutorialists do (if that's a word 😁😁) Hopefully you can be my one last hope to crack it. 😁😁
@@lafluerpeter9 Hi dude! If it´s still an issue, here are my 5 pence... There are no shortcuts or something. Take action and go through and progress... I totally (and probably every producer) see and know your situation very well. It´s hard and insatisfiing. But finish so much projects as you can. And yes, most of them results as crap, but provides something to take away. Not every project is ment to be released or even get heard by a second piar of ears. But really take the process. Think about it this way: How can you learn to finish if you never practice it? You shure already have the knowledge and techniques to produce release worthy music, now its the quest to combine them and evolve your own workflow. It´s more a matter of mindset and decisions than techniques. In fact you would evereytime find something to change or polish... but is it necessary? Would the audience benefit from or even realirealise it? Remember who you adress... Would you produce music to entertain an audience (no matter if dance- or moody chilltracks), or do a nerd nerdy things to empress another nerd with it? Even the biggest legends have a higher ratio in not release worthy projects (in their eyes ofcourse 😅) than you think. I´m on my way through this stage and learn something new from every finfished track. It´s this fkn platou what feels like stagnation, but it isn´t. Don´t get too frustrated or give up at all... take action and go through this way. It´s totally wort it! Cheers
I work fully in the box in 24-bit Audio. I have heard the argument that going near 0 is not an issue for 24-bit as you have additional headroom. I adjust my sounds while I compose. Usually I optimize the levels in the instrument itself and try to leave the fader at zero (I know I used the fader in this video though)
Thanks again for another great video. Me and probably a few others would really benefit for a tutorial on how you level things. You did a quick one here but you stop at “sounds about right”. I’m trying to figure out right when it comes to kick, snare, hats, plus perc layers. Your thoughts on how to figure out if something sounds right would be appreciated!! Also nice mask - caring for others shouldn’t be controversial smh. Also just discovered Loopmasters Original Jungle pack - its pretty old but has some great amen and other breaks remade and produced so royalty free.
thanks for your feedback Alex. For me there isn't that much more to it, than listening to whats right. I also give the technique where I bring the level significantly down, and then slowly bring it up until it sounds right. Perhaps that will help. I don't have any advanced techniques. Sometimes listening to the track at a super-low volume to hear how everything sits helps! Also doing A-B comparison with a track you admire also helps. Thanks for the tip on Original Jungle Pack will check!
I have few sample packs from DC Breaks when they were part of Sample Genie last season. I don’t particularly make dance floor stuff but I’m going to start.
Back to oldschool amens and thinks i say. Nothing more boring then repetetive twostep lameness. The interest in drum and bass drums comes from the cutting and arrangement...not from sound design.
if you're looking for sounds check out Dash Glitch. it all trickles down from psy if you're talking about sound. those guys are bonkers compared to anything else.
Imagine watching a youtube tutorial about making drums for dnb and having this irrational urge to write your anti-science viewpoints as a comment under said video. DnB might not be the scene for you, cause we actually care about the people surrounding us and we try to protect each other
@@fLOW41000 If people would "care about the people surrounding", they would not fall for enslavement. Sorry bro, but confusion and false tolerance does not mean LOVE. Love means to stop people by falling into lies and give them strength to openly say their opinion. Maybe you should think of yourself instead of giving people bad meant advice what "scene" is good for something. Freedom might not be the "scene" for you, cause free people do not fall for the enslavement your government wants to build up. So calm down, start using your brain and spread Love not fear for nothing. God bless you bro!
Just so you know me giving away the masks isn't making a statement for anything. In Asia, face masks are part of our fashion and culture. In the end, I believe in personal choice! 😉
Follow up to my Dancefloor Drum & Bass video, learn how to make the drums. Let's see if we can get it up to 1000 Likes!
Gimme dat vol.2 =) layering and synth boom!
Bet there's gonna be a lot of new dancefloor tracks now xD
Yo man, could you do a video focused on mixdown...compression, eq, side-mid, between basic elements such as drums, bass, synth, so it's pre-master standard? ^^
Legitimately love your content dude ,it's actually really helpful and I would love to buy your jungle kit and other stuff you do but I use FL studio . Any thoughts on you doing anything similar for us guys using FL studio .
Thanks for mentioning Neuro & Bass :)
Welcome, thanks for making a stellar pack!
Thanks for your music :)
Everytime I wanna know something about dnb production your videos comes up answering all my question. ❤
I am so pumped to see a professional’s dnb tutorials. Please do one on panning drums, it’s an overlooked topic!
You know man is making waves when the sponsored ads start creeping in.
Going from strength to strength
Awesome. Clean and tight lesson. Thanks!
Hey Stranjah, you really helped me with music and the theory behind! I really like your professional but emphatic videos!
Greetings from Germany!
thanks for your kind message Nick!
Because of you, I could create my first track which became a banger within a couple days. Never been so thankful to a RUclipsr before. You deserve so much more attention!
Stranjah is da maaan!
Stranjah's always bringing that top notch content!
We are blessed to have him doing these tutorials. A labor of love!!
Muchas gracias por los consejos... Saludos!
Really useful ！Thank U ! And hope to see more toturial about Neurofunk !
Fun fact: in Ireland they call an 'Amen Break' an 'Eamonn Break'
Crazy how I was literally thinking that it would be so helpfull if there was a video on how to make these drums! Big up man!
Glad I found your channel man. I've been wanting to get into making DnB for awhile. Got a lot of inspiration from Danny Tha Wild Child, Phatom 45, and DJ 3D.
Love the dance in the intro haha great video thank you!!
yo my beats have come along way sinvce useing ur vids big ups
Big ups for the dancefloor tutorial! Definitely voting for part 2.
These videos are the best!
Mate. Your videos are quality. Keep these coming 👍🏻
Great tutorial yet again! The matt zo pack is brilliant, but my current favourite is S.P.Y. new pack out on his bandcamp
WOOOOW now I actually have a decent sounding 16 bars instead of NOISE! thanks man, you have a great way of making the sounds in my head come out.
Congratulations for the content and thank you for all the knowledge you share with us, and the opening of the videos are more and more fun.
Thanks Leo for your kind message and I’m glad you enjoy them!
Hey stranjah, I reckon you should try to re create the bass sounds from bou - breathe. I think you would do a really good job👍
I HAVE TO WATCH YOU ON 2 TIMES SPEED BUT OTHER THAN THAT THANKS BRO GOOD STUFF
lol I know I speak slow, I'm working on that
Thanks mate brilliance as usual :)
i Using FL but your channel learnt me a lot THX
Yes do part 2
Another great video. Thank you!
This is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you

Thank you so much 😁

You should show them the other way to parallel with a dry wet stack chain. I like seeing the compression send with hi pass. I have never hi passed my compression send before.
Wow! that's like the easiest and best way to get huge effing drums
You should released that track, nice bass groove.
Haven't used all of the techniques on your channel yet but I'm implimenting them where I can.
Top top content for all of us bedroom selectors and proddys!
Would love a video on that Lupo style high bass!
✌ + ❤
Was there ever a part 2 done to this?
Stranjah, thank you for the video. To answer your question, I use stock drum sounds from Ableton mostly, but it depends on the genre of music. Your sample packs fill those needs. Thank you!
Is the loop you used to fill the gaps in your production kit?
Hmm I don’t remember what I used but probably not
Hey man I’m really enjoying these tutorials! Maybe you could make a tutorial on how to make the REAPER style neuro/dnb bass?
Might be nice to gain compensate after the saturator and compressor, so that we can hear the real effect. Otherwise louder always sounds better.
I was wondering this as well.
Stranjah Tings
Could you try to create the synth which is used in the tune headshot by annix? Would be so nice. Ps: Best youtube channel ever!!
Love the videos, been following for a while. What are the chances of a video about rock elements in drum and bass like pendulum, qemists etc?
another awesome vid man!
Glad you enjoyed!
any chance of a mastering drums tutorial ,love ya vids btw
or just mastering in general
I would second this. I would like a mixing/mastering tutorial from Stranjah in particular.
Why do you need stranjah to show you that? Mastering is the same for pretty much any electronic genre. Just watch the videos that are already out there.
@@DeadlyV1RU5 in all honesty i like stranjahs teaching style very calm n collected and the boy knows hes stuff,so why not i ask
Hmmm... I used to use parallel compression on EVERY track of mine years ago... then I just stopped? Maybe I should try and revisit this...
I think it suits particular styles of music. Try it out again.
Great video, how did you make that bass that comes in at the end?
Serum with Sawtooth waveform and some distortion/filtering.
Hey I just started producing recently :D my snares are just not tight enough in the mix would you say it's the overall length or the transient of the snare?
It sometimes is a combination of both. Snare Design video coming soon.
@@STRANJAH love your content helped me out a lot bigups!! Waring for that snare video big time :)

6:22 what about saturating the drum group if the drum samples have already enough saturation?:)
ur an epic guy bro (y)
nice one mate
Thanks 👍
ive messaged you on soundcloud mate
This looks really interesting. Definitely welcome any guidance on making drums punchy and mixing them well.
Glad you think so!
Do you gain stage though?

how to make bass like "culture shock - visions" with serum ? make the tutorial please
Thank u!
You're welcome!
Stranjah will be amazing a tutorial on how to do the main melody sound of Solar System from Sub focus. I will love to learn that
It took me 3 hours for 4 minutes, because I always went back to my tune and started losing myself in there xD
Haha nice
1:41.... are you talking about me Alan?
Nope was speaking in general because it’s a common issue I see happening! Do you feel you do this?
