I love that first bite followed the slowly growing sense of horror as the aftertaste comes in like a mad contractor and begins demolishing everything in reach leaving me in a pile of rubble with the gentle sound of water dripping somewhere. Now I want to make a pad that tells that story…

lol, I made as close to the same preset as you did in Dune and it never sounded like yours.

This is literally the greatest KZread intro I've ever seen, and I'm not exaggerating. Absolutely dying. Glorious.

Mmkay I'm gonna need you to do a guided meditation on synths, please.

You have caused a total shift in my view of "sound" and how it serves a song with that philosophical approach, something suddenly just clicks now and I'm inspired. You made me understand sound design on a whole new level. Thank you!

I spent pretty much my whole life making music, but a couple of days ago I got into using the computer to create music. So I'm in the middle of figuring stuff out. And all this 'how to make a beat' and stuff is great, but then I found your channel and that's a completely different level. You're amazing. I love your approach to sound, thanks for sharing all those things. I have so many recordings of ambience that I made over the years and didn't know what to do with them.

"Portentous existential reverb" alone is worth a like, but plenty of other value here too. Thanks for helping up my game for these sounds.

Pretentious

One night I took my Zoom recorder and started walking around the house and recording any random noises that I could make on the spot. Obvious things, like turning locks, opening and closing doors, throwing and catching various objects, rubbing my fingers against a piece of cork, tearing tissues, gently knocking the wood on my ukuleles, nothing very fancy at all. I recorded well over 50 individual sounds, most of which turned out predictably crappy, but a few turned out to be gems. A large, sharp knife slicing through a big onion sounds both wet and crunchy, and the best part is, you can hear the blade engage each layer of the poor onion, one by one. All sorts of fun can be had with putting effects on that. But the winner was a kind of big knock which, with a bit of a filter and reverb, sounds positively scary, as if death itself were stomping across a boarded floor. Just that one knock has darkness in it, loneliness and creeping fear. Of course, I have no idea how I made it, but that's life :-)

The perennial dilemma: to track down all the gold, you'd have to keep notes of each audio snippet, what was done and how. Tedium kills spontaneity and turns random fun to plodding drudgery, gold into lead. It's even worse when designing sounds: each step in the process has to be either notated or lost. Some- times it's just better to let it all flow, and take whatever you get as the end point, no option to duplicate or develop, whatcha got is all ya get. It's good enough, enough of the time, as long as you don't look back. The ratio of gold to throw-away garbage is the measure of your genius. Or lack of it. This from somebody who has disks jammed full of mostly crap from years of hacking around in the weeds and picking through junkyards.

I gotta be honest. I find myself spending hours researching how to make evolving drones and sounds with no success. I see a VenusTheory video and of course I learn everything I need… lol thankyou

You literally decompose those sounds... each time I watch your videos I feel "i'm so incompetent..." but the way you show us how to do things with synths, it makes me feel more confident again ! thank you 👍👍

"You're travelling through another dimension, a dimension not only of sight and sound but of mind; a journey into a wondrous land whose boundaries are that of imagination. That's the signpost up ahead - your next stop, the Pad Zone!". Thanks for this-- I'm all about the pads.

This is what I call proper guide throughout the production process include a emotional background of it. As usually on this channel very useful piece. 👍🙂

its like blade runner soundtrack i love it

This intro deserves an award.

Honestly that advice of picturing a sensation, color, moment, whatever is the best advice for making art in general. It’s tremendously overlooked most of the time. Better said You gotta get yo’ vibe men.

I usually think your videos are ok. But this is probably one of your best videos. Not because the technical info is all that great, but because your insight and approach to sound design and the way you made it personal and honest. I like how you kept referring to the sounds in visual terms. I thought I was crazy doing it this way as well. Good to know I'm not alone. Anyway, probably one of your best on a deeper level.

The whole thing is 🔥🔥!! One again Venus Theory killing the game and reinventing it. 👏

I love pads and I always struggled to create my own pads, because I don't know how to go about it and i don't want to use presets all the time. Your video gave me a huge insight, man. Thank you so much!

I really love the philosophy part of sound design. I think the most valuable thing is that you are teaching how to think about a sound and not just how to make a patch.

One of the best things you do almost in every video you producing (and this is the reason I love your work so much), is the sort of "sense behind the music, something deep and almost philosophic, something that makes you think about the music which is more that just an arrangement, just a couple of instruments and layers, more that just a thing that would be played once or twice, and about the impact to the listener, that music makes. And together with all that, the video about the pads and drones 😍😍🤩🤩

100% agree. You've just saved me valuable time writing out a thought haha

Thank you! You are right i always felt the pad is done almost right at the point you mentioned

I love Venus Theory, you love Venus Theory, We all love Venus Theory

This is the kind of thing that I'm glad other deep minds contemplate, i watch it absorb it and digest it...if i actually thought about things this deeply while making music I'd never get anything done...well done!

Wow! That multi-band expander after the reverb is a sweet idea. Love it.

That Taco Bell comment caught me off guard in the best way possible 🤣 I love the NOTT preset in Multipass for the OTT effect but now that the non-linear filter is out I also find it great to filter different frequency bands with different filter types and mess with/modulate the cutoff, resonance and drive of the each filter.

You killed it with your woo-woo style opening questions on the meaning of life. Supermassive has become my go-to for washes on my pads. I also use tape emulation for some warble and saturation, noise, and a bit of movement on the verb wash using shaperbox. I hadn't considered layering several different tape plugins and like the OTT compression addition.

SO incredibly deep for no reason and i love it.

Thank you! Have a great day!

Extended tutorial from shorts :) yesss!

Dude this is top tier production tutorial, thanks for the qualities of explanations, and visualization of concepts.

Coming back to this one for like the fifth time! Love, love the conceptual approach about designing a sound, Cameron! 🔥

That intro is amazing. I checked out your channel after this video and it's a hidden gem for music producers. Keep it up man! Cheers form spain.

best music production channel. Thank you!

This is an awesome tutorial, Cameron, and great to see such an in-depth explanation and walk-through of the process and especially the ideas and thoughts behind the sound design. Thanks, and keep up the great work you do :-)

I’m really digging the philosophical heady heady stuff

Great production value here. Keep them coming!

Such compelling content man, amazing to watch, thanks!

No question the best sound design video I’ve seen

This makes sense.... incredible value

Thx 4 this tut... highly appreciated❤

Listened again today to this, that incredibly slow diminish in the tail(s) near the end of developing this particular pad, brings to mind echoes of the Big Bang, like it never will reach zero and keeps one hanging on, enjoyed this, learned some more now, thanks Cam

That chow tape is awesome. Great video!

Lol 4th wall meets the 4th ear - Love it.

Great video Cam, thanks a lot. The Synapse is a such a beast of a synth!

jaw dropping work

I am truly inspired by some of your ideas about sound design. These tips are helping me to create sounds to use in my compositions that help to take it to the next level. Thanks for the inspiration!

Wow, that was amazing!!!

Great video Cameron. Thank you

Excellent! And yay, Dune 3!

Beautiful pad! Great tut thx

Absolutely fantastic vid regarding drones ❤️👏🏻👏🏻

This is really enlightening, im using this video often just because the depth has me making use out of plugin tools im not very familiar with. The saturation was a great tip

Thanks. This was very informative. I’m new to synths and have been struggling to understand exactly what a Pad was - Until your video.

Thank you for this

Damn ! Please do more of these pallet paint things. Some of the best content I've seen and enjoyed in the last 2 months.

Mate this is tremendous. Well explained, stunning sounds.

Love your philosophy man. That’s my kinda sound design ❤️

Best pad sound design video I've seen, excellent 👌

Amazingly deep and cool tutorial! Keep rocking man love your channel!

this is fantastic and insightful, thank you

A very inspiring, storytelling talk with fitting end result, thank you Sir!

Best intro EVER! 🖖

This was very helpful. My new pastime is to open DX7 V, mix in the operators in a very subtle way, then drown the sound in reverb with Valhalla Supermassive. Just recently found out that adding Sketch Cassette + Izotope Vinyl in moderate amounts can help create an even better atmosphere, then running through Gullfoss to clear some of the mud. I'll definitely try using other combinations of reverbs, saturators, and tape emulations in the future.

Thanks for sharing!

This tutorial is amazing, so gonna try this out!

I really need a love button for this. The intro is immaculate

The quality of your videos always amaze me.

very helpful video thank you Venus Theory

Excellent! So helpful and inspiring!

Wow, this sounds super epic :D I love your tutorials! I also like how you talk about your thaughts while creating this sounds. Greetings from Germany! Peace

Awesome video as usual. Thank you for sharing your creativity. Had me running of making thick fat pads. cheers!

nice. with pads sometimes i like to subtly layer choir or use formant filters like you did with the noise. can never get tired of pads!

haha. well done. I'm only at the intro but I'm already loving it. Keep that sense of humor alive

It's been two years since I jumped into this space of dabbling with making noise. At that time, this didn't make sense. Today, it does. Does not mean I'm ready to spice up my tacos yet it's progress. Thank you for the tutorial.

Then record it with the effects, pitch it up an octave or 2, render it then put it in Tal Sampler. Play it back pitched down for more grit.

That intro synth is awesome!

That sound, that voice, this is my new sleep music!

This was awesome thanks!!!!

You my friend are an amazing story teller and teacher. Subscribed!

This is really helpful! I honestly never really tried doing drones before, which is stupid because I own a Lyra. I just layered that with another synth and really got a great effect. Thanks for sharing the knowledge!

Nice job! Thanks very much. I have been fascinated by sound sculptures for a very long time. You may have mentioned this, but I don't recall so I will mention something I like to do. In addition to all the great tips you mentioned it is cool to have random, nearly inaudible distant sounds that could be anything from a dog barking to children laughing to people whispering, etc. Headphone only kind of stuff. Also misc. panning and volume dynamics of various sounds in the patch. Thanks again!

Brilliant. Respect.

This is the greatest intro of all time !

Perfect tutorial. I think it's important to add that it's important to experiment with the order of the effects as well

WOW that intro was amazing man! Awesome tutorial , thank so much Cam :)

That is one absolute badass intro

Ambient music is free form of expression not only past, there is no rule but there are playlists that dictate mood and sound but we don't need to obey because it is only matter of time when. New way is heavy BASS futuristic Lower case sounds and that's will change as time passes so it's only matter of time when some different Ambient will be in focus that's why we have to be free to explore new ways.

Great voice, great inspiration, great sound!

So glad you used Dune 3! Thanks for the great vid.

Thank you so much for your amazing videos!

you teach me alot....thank you so much🎹

One of my favorite plugins to use is instability. (I only have the lite version and im still enjoying this). It's like borderline tape but can be as fast, slow, and wide as it wants with it's pitch modulation and amplitude modulation. Very nice to put on leads and pads to get some kind of mmph on it. I like that you can edit the randomness of the pitch modulation and randomize the stereo image that randomness takes up. Also. Saturation best effect hands down distortion saved music.

This was fantastic, thanks so much.

Thank you so much for this man. I’m going to let my synth tell a story and build around it. Thank you again

excelent, this really is worth a lot. thanks man

The intro is amazing!!

Great walk through !! 🎃
