At least he is being honest about using presets, and he tweaks them afterwards. He is not like "I've been modifying this sound for a week on my Jupiter 8". Props for the honesty.
Thanks a lot for the message. Making music involves a lot of patience if you want it to stand the test of time and in general have the best possible result. Patience is often the key-word to good stuuf :)
Since I don't have money for fancy hardware its always inspirational to see guys making great music only with software. These beatport studio sessions are great.
The breakdown is epic and the bit from bar 129 is just devastating in its brutality. This track has been an inspiration since I first heard it, I hope you don't mind that I use it as a reference track (more recently I use 'Done' as well). I have a couple of questions; 1) you mentioned that you had the melody in your head for a while, how do you come up with melodies? Do you just hear them in your head and recreate them when you get to the studio, or sit at a keyboard and noodle? How do you save melody ideas? (hopefully counts as one question) 2) do you always send a track for mastering before you try it out in one of your sets? Thank you for showing how you put 'Eruption' together - such a fantastic privilege to look behind the curtain and understand the amount of work hours and effort that goes into your music. I often find that people don't understand quite how much time AND skill/knowledge it takes to put together a track that has such an effect on a crowd, vs some other producers who seem to just throw together something that's merely acceptable. I'm aiming for the first, I know I'm not there yet... However, I must admit, the Black Lab is less black than I was imagining :)
I was listening Adam Beyer's set for ultra, then I heard this song, I was really impressed, I researched it and I was really surprised that it was your song because you used to make more melodic songs, and I was really happy about the name because my name is Volcano. I am happy to see that you record a video to show how u made this song, thank you so much. My first question; after making this song, are you open to release songs similar to this style from Noir Music ( so should we send? ), second; how do you keep your motivation up , to work on a song for 4-5 months, do you go check it everyday, or do you let it wait for a while? whenever I start a song, I feel like I need to finish ASAP otherwise I can loose my motivation.
If you check Noir Music you will hear that we release techno and music similar to this. This is my channel: ruclips.net/user/NoirMusicOfficial When i am not satisfied with a track i leave it for days, sometimes weeks and get back to it with fresh ears. This is the best way for me to hear whats wrong or at least what can be improved. Fresh ears are worth gold.
Hi noir! Love your label. What do you think about the vibrating subpack on your chair? Is it worth it? Does it have a good resolution for mixing/mastering?
It means the 4th kick had distortion on it. In some cases I make it have a clear tone (root key note) to sit really well. Sub kicks don't cancel out each other if they are not sitting in the same frequencies. Its all about watching your frequencies using EQ's and use your ears (the most important tool)
I leave it for days, sometimes weeks and then get back to it with fresh ears. On some tracks i used my "Ableton Push" to jam around and come up with some random ideas/melodies.
Yes i do..... I spent a lot of time making everything sit right. It irritates my ears if its not sitting right - so everything is EQ'ed and mixed as i make the track. Its also being finetuned all the time.
Ich got first Maschine Studio and than I get push 2 and push 2 I dont like that workflow with push und ableton it taks me to long if I have to pres 1000 Tims than I get the New Maschine again. Best workflow

Talk about Patience. That bassline alone having recorded 5 times and taking the best parts... Thank You for a TERRIFIC video!!

Good one! :-)
I know how these happy accidents feel ... actually 90% of my good sounds are those random accidents xD

Hi noir! Love your label. What do you think about the vibrating subpack on your chair? Is it worth it? Does it have a good resolution for mixing/mastering?
Great video. How can you layer so many sounds without them clashing in frequency, especially sounds like hi hats?
choosing the right samples. Or EQing them differently
I just use my ears and make sure they dont clash in any way. No big secrets or tricks - just spending hours making it sound right using EQing.
Many thanks for this tidbit! I have a hard time trying to layer hats, I will have to sit through EQing them.
Yes the EQing and your ears is key to making it all melt together and sound great ;)
@@NoirMusicOfficial Hi, can u make some video how u use EQ on the low ends ? Kick,bass and subs ? or try to explain if is possible . Cheers!
when you said you had the 4th kick layered which was a bit for edge... what did you mean by that? and doesn't two subby kicks cancel each other out?
It means the 4th kick had distortion on it. In some cases I make it have a clear tone (root key note) to sit really well. Sub kicks don't cancel out each other if they are not sitting in the same frequencies. Its all about watching your frequencies using EQ's and use your ears (the most important tool)
What do you put in key together ? The kick with the melody ? What other stuff ? Thanks for this vid !
Everything. Thats the short answer. I also tune percussion to the root note.
10:20 i know that feel lol
Dr Rex my friend....
what do you do when your in a stuck creative loop?
I leave it for days, sometimes weeks and then get back to it with fresh ears. On some tracks i used my "Ableton Push" to jam around and come up with some random ideas/melodies.
Noir / Noir Music (Official) thank you for answering my question!
19:49 wtf happened to your face there
Hahahaha, video glitch :)
do you mix as you go?
Yes i do..... I spent a lot of time making everything sit right. It irritates my ears if its not sitting right - so everything is EQ'ed and mixed as i make the track. Its also being finetuned all the time.
Noir / Noir Music (Official) thank you I appreciate it
