Tutorial: How we use samplers & effects

Okay, 1 tutorial and it finally helped me understand how to bring life and movement to my basses. Thank you very much, you guys are geniuses!

I was messing around with the techniques from this tutorial today and decided to put a very airy melodic pad as the top layer and it sounded amazing 🔥🔥🔥.

This is so amazing! 1 tutorial in and I am already so inspired. You guys are freaking legendary.

is there anyone knowing that why saw sounds different? My operator sounds different when I play basic saw waves...

i'm two tutorials in and this is already the best content i've seen for music production on patreon. These techniques give us the tools to get creative and most importantly, have fun :)

I'm late to the Patreon train and 1/4 of this video alone was worth it 10 fold. Thanks so much.

I am doing this tutorial on FL studio and the explanation is so well done that I could follow the turotial even tho I dont have any of those plugins. Very good video! Having to work my way around FL to do the same thing you were doing really helped me understand more the functionalities of my DAW. I would recommend this tutorial even if you are using FL Cubase or Bitwig or what not, if you understand the chain of effects he explains I can assure you you can recreate it in any DAW. Again very well made tutorial, Thank you Koan Sound!

Classically trained boi here. Really appreciate the work you do here and your music. I wanted to get more into music production and getting to better understand the process, sound design and how it all comes together to form a coherent mix. Not disappointed with this at all. I really wanted to create sounds like these, since I was introduced to you guys, and was wondering how it was achieved. Gonna have some crazy fun experimenting with this. Thank you so much!

Top notch stuff!

Just joined and working my way through...definitely not disappointed.

very sick. thanks for the awesome tutorial

Yes this is awesome! Really like the use of glide, I used to use pitch bend in the clip view it doesn’t half as clean as this.

So inspiring thank you!

This is amazing, thank you so much for being so giving, seeing your process is incredibly inspiring !

Do you have a separate track for your sub bass when finalizing a song? if not, how do you control the phasing introduced from the second detuned layer? or how do you control the sub from track to track

this is incredible. Thank you so much

Wow, this is on a whole nother level... Love it!

I love this !. Hands down the best tutorial in Ableton i have seen yet.

crazyyyyy!

I can't thank you enough, I'd been trying to figure out how to do it from your reddit AMA post, but this explains it so much better. The track I'm working on has been transformed by the new bass using this tutorial.

If there are any Reason users in here I have created a Combinator patch based on the principals in this video that you can ReSample straight in to. Hit me up on Discord @TepidMilk if you would like the patch! Peace!

This was really interesting! Took some good notes. I would be curious to see a vid about work flow. Sometimes I drive myself nuts with a project because I hear it too much. It also takes me a really long time to feel finished with a song.

I would also see something about the Mix. Your music has a lot of sounds but still every sound sounds very clear in the mix. Would love to see some insight.

This is amazing!!! Super insightful. I’d love to see a project breakdown! Or would love to hear about your mix down and/or creative process.

that was awesome! I reckon a video on the way you guys layer your foley on top of these basses/your drums would be a great follow up vid

Would deffo love for you to explain the kick and sub being one whole part thing too. Haven’t quite wrapped my head around that

How to approach processing sides in a creative way (basses , drums) I feel a well explained video would clear up a lot of fuzz. Also would love to know how you approach using foley in your tunes ? :) appreciate what your doing guys. Legends !!!

Legend. Didn't quite catch what you meant by splitting the frequency bands from your reddit AMA. I Made a rack with a Fabfilter Brickwall EQ' slicing it up into 3 segments with macros but this makes a lot more sense.

Y'all are god tier for sharing your experience, thanks much.

Well this just changed my world! Nice!

Excellence

Absolutely amazing! In the future I'd love to see how you made the drums in starlite - are they purely recorded in or are they using VST's/samples you find etc. How to get that real organic yet perfect feel on them! Would also LOVE to see a track breakdown of beyond the shadows, how you made those really nice low warp basses and all the little snippets of interesting sound!

This is amazing, cant wait for more!

Thank you so much for this. this is worth the 10USD alone. i switched to ableton a while back and i see this. OFC i will become a patreon member !!.

thank you! great tutorial.. cant wait to learn more with y'all

This is so helpful. Thank you! :D

This is awesome, thanks a lot for doing this. <3<3

Do you guys use chorus? I know it fucks up the stereo image but would be very interesting to know!

@Gypsyndicate haha yes definitely heavy inspiration! I even teach Sound Design and got hella new ideas from this

Geniuses! Thanks so much

Think I learned more in this video than the previous year of sound design.

can we download this?

Drums tutorial please! :)

SNARE tutorial please!

Inspiring🤯

YOU GUYS ARE GREAT! This is a dream come true. thank you so much!

its crazy how much i learned from this

Very Nice. Now please someone translate this into FL Studio or PhasePlant. Please.

i learned so much

Nice one! Clear and succinct and super easy to follow. 99.9% of youtube videos exploring sound design need to be deleted now you guys are on this. They're always filled with so much waffle. Love how simple you just made that! Top work.

wow

jeez that turned out really tight

Dope tut guys. Stoked to be here.

Great job! So many tutorials show a 'how to create this sound', but without explaining the how or why certain parameters are modulated in certain ways - this helped me learn, rather than just showed me how to do one specific thing. So cool how this was done with all stock plugins (apart from the reverb).

holy shit that vocoder trick is amazing

LETS FUCKING GOOOOO

Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Can't wait to see what is in store as y'all upload more.

also i am really curious about your guys foley design. hwo your process it and maybe even how to record nice foley.

this was nuts, i'm definitely going to implement these ideas in my future sound design

This was fantastic!

Thanks for the insightful tutorial! Topics I'd love to see: Drum/mixbus compression, foley layering, EQing/mixing sounds, reverb philosophy, stereo imaging tricks, outboard gear/recording practices, chord progressions/voicings, arrangement philosphy

i would love to hear you talk about workflow.

A mixing tutorial would be amazing!

This was a great bass tutorial... Amazing!

I would absolutely indeed love to see a video on the garage 2step sound... Sorry for the double post... I accidentallyI posted this request on an earlier post..

priceless

Incredible, excellent tutorial!! Thanks so much!

Oh my goddddd so stoked to check this out

Beautiful! Do you also ever use Logic? I would love a video on it if you do. Otherwise I'm gonna have to branch out to Ableton, because this would open so many doors. Thank you!

Very interesting, what a creative way to play around with just a simple bass sample! As a suggestion I'd love to see a in depth video of the way you guys approach beatmaking, the processing, everything you wish the share with us. (example: "Viridian Dream & Chilli Daddy") <3

Love the quality of the tutorial! Very easy to follow along and appreciate the extra effort❤️

Amazing tutorial! Thanks!

You guys are awesome!!

Finally! I've been wondering about this for soooooo looooong. Thanks dudes!

For a next video it would great to see how you make either nsares or kicks! ;)

Extremely informative! I obviously don't doubt your capabilities as producers, but happy to say you're equally as proficient in the making Production Tutorials as you are at making music. Can't wait for more!

incredible

Dope stuff thanks guys

Awesome video, I like that you only used ableton stock plugins (except for the reverb) to get this sound.

Thanks for sharing guys! wanted to see your process for a while now

This was so helpful. thank you so much

I would like to request a mixing tutorial with Pro Q and mixing things in a stereo field

this is so crazy useful. much simpler (pun intended) than i expected aswell. thanks a ton

crazy how you're able to transform such a simple base-sound into this complex bass, really inspiring <3
