Tutorial #50 | Glitching Drums With Granular Synthesis

Hey! Welcome to tutorial #50, this time about glitching your drum loops with granular synthesis and a bunch of extra effects!
I recently noticed there hasn't been a drum tutorial for a while now, so now we have one :))
In the video I go briefly over a few important parameters in a granulizer and how they can alter your drums and then over a few effects you can add to your granulized loops.
These effects include distortion, compression, bit crushing, grain delay, delay & pitch shifting and they are also free (except for fruity delay & little alterboy) so be sure to check them out!
If there's a subject/sound you want me to cover in one of my future tutorials let me know in the comments below ;)
Enjoy!

Stronger than ever ;P

[@joseeriveraa]

Man I’ve been checking all this tutorials you’ve uploaded and I’ll surely dive in even more! Really liked the videos, will try use this for wave tracks as well! Thanks

[@Sharpend]

I'm really happy to hear that! Hope you'll find a lot of good uses for these in your tracks

[@synthvibes920]

Great tutorial!

[@Sharpend]

Thank u!

Thank u 🐳🐋

[@alinakki]

Nice!
Idea for future vid: Koan Sound - Vivid . The smooth underwater granular sounds at 0:45 of that track :)

[@Sharpend]

Thank you! Love koan sound, I'll give it a shot :)

[@mmmoshi_]

man u should do some tutorials attempt to sound like certain artists it would be awesome

[@Sharpend]

Yeah it definitely can be fun sometimes, it's just that sometimes it's not that easy getting close enough to a sound another artist designed.. But when I do get close enough I upload vids like this :)

[@aarondnvn4513]

Amazing tutorial as always! Have you gotten your hands on Pigments 2?

[@Sharpend]

Thanks man! I actually haven't tried pigments out, what are your thoughts about it?

[@aarondnvn4513]

Since I’m still learning sound design, i find the animated modulation helps a ton. I think the presets are some of the best out of any synth, and the new granular engine allows you to morph between multiple samples! Right now massive X is still my go-to since i love how easy it is to make weird sounds, but i think pigments will take that place in time

[@Sharpend]

Yeah having animated synths is definitely very helpful to understand what's going on inside the synth :)
Massive X definitely is easy to get interesting sounds with but the lack of animation can be a bit difficult to understand sometimes.
Tbh a granular engine where you can blend two different samples sounds really interesting! I'll check it out!
