My favorite way to add texture recently has been to take a variety of water sounds such a the ambient sound of rivers, pouring a glass of water, etc, then running it through Portal. You get some absolutely beautiful sounds this way. To take it to the next level I'll layer pre portal water sounds and layer it with a long and continuous arp melody, then run that through the an instance of Portal together. Gives me chills every time, it literally sounds like an alien water god rubbing your brain.

That is an absolutely amazing idea! Every time I see someone use water in music production it always sounds cool but I’ve never heard anyone run it through portal. That’s genius honestly.

I’m an idiot. I was meant to explain in the video that I called myself Drew Grit because I was always using the word Grit/Texture when producing. I feel like that’s my thing. My interpretation of musical texture is what I have to offer as a producer. In the same way that Decap has Knock and Timbaland has Bounce etc. That’s why I made this Sonic Textures sample pack as my first proper pack. Hope you guys like the samples, and even if you don’t pick up the pack, I hope you learnt something cool to try in your own music from the techniques in the video. Thanks everybody, Stay handsome✌

As an engineer, I got educated to dislike distorsion. I wanted to always achieve the purest, most pristine audio quality. That was my challenge then. Only recently I discovered that distorsion was one of these dimensions (we can call it texture) that allows to stack sounds but keep them all well defined and separated. Stack two pure sounds together and they may interfere. Add texture/distorsion to one of them, and your ears will be able to keep it apart from the rest. It seems you are just starting with sound design, but are on the starting blocks! Keep the good work and wishing you success in your endeavours!

I appreciate your critical thinking to categorize these types of textures.

Sonic Differentiation is also a very important part to this. If everything is textured there won't be enough contrast. It's about taking all the types of texture in and making sure each elements has something different. Make sure you realise 'smooth/clean' is also a texture. Another really important thing to know is Found & Foley sounds can be used as a drum layer or replace the drum entirely. Like a tree branch being shaken or someone walking across gravel put it through Battery or Shaperbox etc. With distortions really study the different types like tube, Transistor, Magnetic Tape, Transformers, Bitcrush, Wavefolding, Wavetable... & how they effect sounds. Digital is easily best for pure textured sounds (under 5% wet digital distortion for less obvious effects), analog saturation types are better for denser, warmer & harder hitting sounds

@drewgrit_

11 ай бұрын

Totally agree sonic differentiation is crucial! The reason I even made this video is because I hated the fact that most of the time I heard people talking about texture was one specific type. Which is tape saturation and don’t get me wrong I love the analog style tape sound but there’s so much more. Drum layers of foley is another great technique and worth exploring, I feel like I’ve heard it a lot over the past few years so I’m a little tired of it but still a great idea.

Almost as if it's a pro producer thing & no one wants to share the secrets. There are bits and pieces I've found including the process of making Mezzanine where they would record drums to vinyl. The guy who helped produce it called Spike Stent had an interview with Sound on Sound (the 1999 one) and goes into great detail about his process & creative mixing. He talks about using guitar pedals, the mpc3000 & tape to achieve sonic differentiation. Really interesting read

You can put texture foley IR's through a plugin like Audiothing - Fog Convolver to almost imprint the dry drum sound onto the foley texture itself. So it instantly volume shapes texture to the envelope of the drum sound as well as Frequency. Anything you can think of metal, glass, rock, water, will all change the timbre and texture of drum sounds. It's pretty crazy how powerful this technique can be if done well

Good to see ya back, don't know how you choose your subjects but texture is one of the least understood topics in the producer community. (at least from my experience on youtube) glad you shine a light on it. It can literally distinguish one artist from another

@drewgrit_

Hey Kayden thanks for the comment and it’s good to be back! I’ve literally spent months making this pack exploring texture and how I came up with the idea was literally just from thinking about what’s missing in the Producer community like you said. It felt natural to try get producers thinking about and incorporating texture in their music if I could. Hopefully it makes a difference but I guess we will have to wait and see😂
