thank you man! this comment made my day

One of the most quotable episodes so far. When you said, "Let's go ahead and make what really matters: some Trap music," I shot milk from my nose and I haven't had milk since breakfast. Also glad that someone finally pointed out that C Major and A Minor are the most racist scales of the bunch, but that shouldn't dissuade anyone from using them. Even when an institution is corrupt, you've gotta take whatever advantages from it while you're waiting (waiting) waiting on the world to change. Subvert the system from the inside. Also learned about some new Ableton features. Thanks for the upload!

I really like how you do these tutorials, very enjoyable to watch

learned some music theory & learned how to drop the bass 11/11

As I suck, can you explain why your synth piano roll root was C, but actually b flat when you checked it?

I watched Dash Glitch make a psytrance track last night for 5 and a half hours. I learned stuff, but not as much as I just learned in 6 and a half minutes. From a 6-year-old video too. You rock mate. I'm glad I found your channel. I guess when you suck at producing as I do. You learn from the people who don't.

can you also tune up your sounds using the notes on the grid?

Hi! ive one question to U. what kind of speakers are these at the wall in the beginning ? maybe B&w? i´m just intrested. best greetings from germany;)

Hello! I just start learning to make beats! I wanna ask where could I download songs and put them in Ableton? Thank you so much!

very amusing way to get over all the important basics.

A quick question for ya, is the route not of a song, usually on the down beat and how or what method can i use to find the route note of a song?

YES!!! more lessons cheers dude

This is very very impressive work.

Does the Distorbass instrument come with Ableton Live?

u changed my life, thank you, i owe you

how do i extend the note like your bass? all of my samples are just quick drum hits and i cant figure out how to make them hit the same note longer

@yousuckatproducing

8 жыл бұрын

get longer samples! I recommend downloading the lex luger drum kit should be free if you google it :P

“Slave Boxes.” Good one.

So even when you play a C note on the synth, it still plays a B flat note? Why is that?

Woa what was the song name from that advert haha

In Maschine I'm pretty sure all the sounds come standardized so when you press C it is C. For sounds I get from the internet, if it doesn't state what key it's in I use a tuning app of my phone (like one you'd use for a guitar) that was free, and just put it up toward the speaker. It works for sounds that are more normal and less distorted/crazy sounding. It's far from perfect but it's helped me out a couple times when I couldn't figure it out by ear

These videos are the most fun I've had since my only friend left me. And he was really funny until he wasn't. I've learned a lot about un-sucking and Derek. Thanks bunches!

great and freaking funny vid once again. I am wondering though. This is about how to get the bass and synth in tune. Let's say I add in more instruments. Should one always run these through a tuner? I do it by ear but often time things seem (slightly) off, making it eventually sound less pro. Basically is the root note of your bass essential for all your other sounds (do they need to be in the same key)??

I'm confused by the fact that a tuner is needed: if it said that the note being played by the synth was a c, why did the tuner give a different note? please help someone?

@yousuckatproducing

7 жыл бұрын

sometimes samples/synths aren't actually the same note as the key you're pressing. For example if I sampled a synth playing a G note and dropped it into a simpler, playing a C on my keyboard would result in the G, instead of the correct pitch.
