Thanks for watching! Comment with any sound design tricks of your own and don't forget to enter the giveaway! gleam.io/lWOHe/andrew-huangs-2018-yearend-giveaway
hey
make Vaportrap!
Poopy di Scoop... Also this video was so packed with information my brain almost popped.
I challenge you to do sound design with caustic 3 for mobile👌👌
It's all about how you hit the pineapple. - Andrew Huang, motivational speaker and musician.
you've asked "what am i hitting the pineapple with?" and "how am i hitting the pineapple?" but have you ever asked "why am i hitting the pineapple?"
😂
Am I living in a pineapple? Under the sea?
Poetry
i think i hit the pineapple to hard bro...
Sad 🙁
had my speakers all the way up when i opened this, wouldn't recommend
Nova yeah, but no way to warn some1 bout this before he actually open it (sure on full volume)
Wouldn’t recommend that in general
RIP your ears.
same
Yea man. That intro was way too harsh.
You could have made a useless boring ad and bragged about your sound pack. Instead you decided to help your fellow producers. Much respect man, thanks.
Love your vids, and apparently my college does too. They've started showing some of your videos in lectures on Music Technology.
They should either pay him for that or make that course free, right?
@@PidgeonGrape that's not how it works when you're putting out free content for any and everyone to watch.
@@PidgeonGrape He gets the extra views and ad revenue though right?
@@shaunculleton9321 Idgaf either way. I'd pay to learn anything from Andrew
Laypix Man boyinabandrew gettin in the schools
If it wasn’t for the company sponsorships I would guess that this whole channel is secretly a genius marking tactic by Ableton. The videos are always so interesting and the music is superb
I started noticing that as well.
When you love something so much, you want everyone to love it just as much as you do!
Bobby Fisher what’s wrong with ableton. It’s a pretty solid daw
@@blancmull3886 It's a very good DAW
He even uses the same font
People around are telling me I have improve on my creation recently, they sound better, they like my newest tracks. And I owe you that because even with my sound techniques formation, I've been watching every single videos for the past 4 years and you gave me so many advices that I must say : Thank you Andrew !
"So... What instru-"
"Golden Pineapple."
Nice string patch, perfect mix of realistic/warm and synthetic/clean.
if there's one thing arturia seems to understand better than anyone else it's gui design (or maybe even just visual aesthetics in general, everything they make is beautiful)
They were actually a software first, hardware later company when they started so it makes sense
Andrew is basically Bob Ross of sound design. "The Joy of Music with Andrew Huang".
P.S.: That was super informative and useful. Thank you, Andrew!
This is the most ignorant comment ive ever read
No mistakes, just happy accidents
@olaf kon Andrew huang is mediocre at best with sound design
Bippy Bo oop- I'd like to see you do better...
Bippy Bo this is literally a video on the basics. This man is a professional musician, you shouldn’t judge a basics video as all someone knows how to do
I love sound design, one of my favorite aspects of sound design is the reconfiguration of the automation of depth in the sound. Still always learning though, nice video. My sound design tip - when you are transforming a sound, to not focus on the getting the exact number measurements right at first but to rather use the ear to find a sound you enjoy, then adjust exact measurements to fit whatever project you use the sound in. With this technique, I found I can more easily use that sound in a variety of different genres. Less limiting my creativity.
i literally just thought about how helpful this kind of video from you would be. thanks!
Your videos are super fun to listen to while drawing
You just surpassed my expectation. What intriguing way to explore 'Excitement' of the sound!
Can you see the sheer passion in his eyes when he speaks? Damn you guys he enjoys music more than we do.
Thank you for your video, kind sir!
Your creativity is contagious! Thanks!
Thank you Andrew and Arturia, very cool!
You make this seem so accessible and doable! Thanks, Andrew!
Man, thanks Andrew, I needed exactly this, exactly this time. Really helpful video. Made it into my bookmarks, because I'm going tot watch this more.
yes! thank you! i was looking for stuff to spice up my music! 💚
I love you and your videos, Andrew! You always inspire me!
All of us.
Awesome video! I'm writing all the bones of a new album and collecting sounds so having a lil chat with your videos gives me some much needed refreshing :) you are awesome
Dude!...totally open about your process & experience...without trying to hit up your audience for money?! You tube at its best. Awesome stuff.
Why are you so good at doing this
Thanks for sharing these! Learned a bunch of cool tricks.
That synth fill was dope! Sounds great with the effects chain!
Awesome vid Andrew keep up the amazing work and have a merry Christmas
The time stretching concept makes me want to play Berzerk or Defender on an old Atari 2600.
In all seriousness, I feel like I have gained a newfound respect for sound design, especially those who work on the radio producing all those promos and sweepers between songs.
Thanks, man! This is genuinely useful. I've been wanting to get back into making music related content, can't wait to use these tricks :)
also you should remix sounds from bookworm adventures deluxe
You're here too. You won't stop until CZcams is replaced with nothing but bookworm adventures deluxe. Honestly that would be great considering the current state of CZcams
YOURE EVERYWHERE AGH
I thought dunkey murdered you
Beef Stew christ you're fucking everywhere
also is it bad that I actually played bookworm before I even knew about you
Stop watching all the things I watch
Your videos are always fun and interesting to watch. Thank you!
Love it. Thanks for the tips! This is the best CZcams channel I've come across in a while. And Flip that sample rocks!!
Here is my two cents trick: using evolving layered sound modulated in amplitude by a percussive (and muted) one. Just using an envelope follower to control the amplitude of a whole group of layered sounds. In this way i can record a rythm made by me playing rythmically and make everything to follow it.
Anyway you make great videos man ❤️
3:26 is 100% space pinball
ahhh I knew someone else would recognize it!
Space cadet goated in kindergarten
this came out at a good time since i just got like 4 synths from plugin boutique for christmas. thanks andrew
that synth is really cool. it's nice to see another more visually orientated synth on the market! Having all these moving elements when designing the sound helps me understand what's going on without having to think as much.. allowing creativity to fly through my CPU faster and more eloquently
Challenge: Use music with no vocal noises, design it so you produce a song with what appears to be vocals.
There are plugins that do that
Check this out, because it's exactly what you are talking about: m.czcams.com/video/_3Tw7b90Og8/video.html
It's a chiptune rendition of "The Dissaperance of Hatsune Miku" done entirely with Famicom hardware. It uses an extra soundchip made by Nintendo around 1985 that adds a wavetable synth channel to the Famicom's standard 5 channels of audio. All the vocals from the original song are replicated with the wave channel. Weeby, but impressive.
TheKamiBunny Somebody missed the Daft Punks
I do the opposite - I use vocal samples as instruments.
Vital straight up does that XD (It's not out til the 24th but it's free and the demos are nuts)
My new favorite out of context quote: "So when I'm recording the pineapple it's not just gonna be that I'm hitting the pineapple. It's gonna be 'What am I hitting the pineapple with?' It's gonna be 'How am I hitting the pineapple?'"
Excellent work! A good film clip on sound design. You are quite correct - sound is everything one sees, touches and feels.
that is the best channel about sound design!!! love your advice and manner to share information
That intro is kind of like a jumpscare if you have the volume too loud - JESUS!
Been researching for years and years and still I can't come up with an answer....
Where'd you get the pineapple??
Amsterdam
ANDREW HUANG Any chance we could get purchasable pineapples in the next march release? ;)
@@andrewhuang Whoa. I live super close to Amsterdam! I should see if I can find one...
Tinribs31 you don’t buy the pineapple it finds you
the pineapple is is not so as important as is what is actually happening.
if you strip away the pineapple stylizing, you essentially have a fat conga shaped bowl, and any metalic bowl of that shape will create that style of sound!
think of what is really happening, and then the surface decoration of an objest is not so important as the actual part of the object that creates the style of sound.
substance over surfacey details.
Love it! Great work! Power to Sound Design & Sound Science! Thanks for sharing and showing how to great the most powerful audiovisual experiences!
Love this kind of video. They are actually great advices. I'll spend weeks in trying this things out
Great sound design!
1:22 “the object and the exciter” proceeds to slap pineapple 🍍at the bottom 😏
I don't get it
then he should make a whole video about different exciters for just one object :)) But actually he told about "a palm, fingers..." - these are different and I've got the info! 13 minutes of listening Huang's speedy voice talking makes me a bit mad already... I've even paused the video on about 10:00 to make a break and do something else...
He's a very good tutor but do this in a kind of "nasty manner". Not complaining... just think that 10-13 mins is practically a limit for a good video with his style. "Oversaturation" will kill views and this will lower the channel rating.
@@GustavoGaming His palm is the exciter, it's exciting the object (making the object create a sound reaction). Different exciters (things, items, ect.) against this same object may create different sounds. Hope this helps.
It sounds dirty the way you say it.
@@KiR_3d What do you mean? You can't come up with different things to hit a golden pineapple?
I don't get your complaint? This is not an tutorial, this is just his way of showing us how he uses different types of sound design to make us "think outside of the box". I mean, I found it interesting how he used the stretch and pitch function only using the audio clip. Only that part gave me like '100' new ideas I can try out later on. And yes, you are complaining.
really lovely tutorial/demo!
lovely to see someone actually encouraging folk to mess with thweir own creations rather than dissapearing into the blandness of preset packs and sample pack clone-ness.
and nicely explained sound science (exiter, and object, and gate/envelope which we can do simply by hitting somthing to understand it all.)
MORE!
Love your stuff man! Thanks!I learn so much.
Could you please do a 4 Producers Flip 1 Sample again it’s so amazing
" Combinator" is straight out of Propellerheads Reason DAW, which is all about hardware-style CV manipulation
Andrew started on that software.
This is the video that got me! I've been following you since! Thanks Andrew Huang!
These are all super useful tips Andrew, quick ways to generate ideas! Timestretching is really useful to dig deep into a sound and get cool results. Arturia - Pigments looks interesting. Another hit video Andrew, loved it!
Oh my goodness, I need this Arturia thing!!!
The good news is that you can test Pigments for free until January 10!
that's the point of this ad
@@elli4355 You can rent to own a copy of Serum through Splice for 10$ a month.
Check out the freeware synth Atlantis by Jeremy Evers. Tons of insane modulation possibilities, including a couple channels for combining modulation sources (no mathematical logic stuff or anything like that though). Honestly way ahead of its time imo (last update afaik was 2007!).
I will integrate those techniques in my projects for sure, really cool Andrew ! Hope to learn more soon !
Nice!!!, I just getting started and man, you help me a lot figuring all this up. Cheers
That start scared the hell out of me
Ruben BenG lemme give you a tour: There at the corner under the video is a red button with the word subscribe on it, click that. That concludes my tour, thank you and have a nice Andrew Huang experience.
yoooo i have a keylab midi controller, definitely pickin up pigments, since its an Arturia software, so the knobs on my midi controller will work with it. This is crazy. Ive never been able to interract with a youtuber's work before. Usually they collab with things I dont have lol.
this is totally sparking new mix ideas. thank you!
This is so helpful - Thank you Andrew! Like it.
I am taking (and am almost done taking) a course called Intro to Video Game Audio Design. It was fun to do the recording and layering sounds this semester. This is a cool short way to get people going...I like it :D
Stolkmen Where do you take this up bro? And how exactly your studies are structured? Even quick short review would be great, really got me curious
@@evisvibing I'm taking a Berklee Certificate Degree atm :D
Stolkmen awesome! Thanks and good luck with it man!
Aww, you didn't use the MatrixBrute, that thing is really good for sound design. Although this video was still full of really good ideas.
Yo man your videos are next level. Thanks for all the inspiration!
Very good tips for beginners. Thanks, Andrew :3
Cool
"That's basically Pac-Man" made me spit my coffee out on everything
love your videos dude! always so informative and creative while being so entertaining ^-^ !
Great video! Thanks Andrew!
Arturia Pigment is really looking promising. May just be the competition that Serum was looking for(Sort of lol). They kind of monopolized the wavetable synth market prior(Massive didn't have some very important features that Serum did)
it looks pretty inviting from a first glance, gui is set up much better than other popular synths
Peek massive was also a giant eye sore lol wtf was that routing matrix
this was one hell of a paid ad for it
"So recording the pineapple is not just gonna be that I'm hitting the pineapple. It's gonna be: What am I hitting the pineapple with?" I love sound design xD
5 videos in about a week! Andrew your spoiling us!!
thanks for the tips i was doing some of them but all of these together is just great improvement
Make a Eurorack Modular album with highly technical yet rhythmic beats.
0:02 "Hey, I did your Mom!"
Thank you so so much, I love this kind of video, keep it up Andrew ! :)
From someone who has no experience with electronic music production that was just over my head like WOOOOOOOOSH...
AND SO COOL! Never too late to learn something new!
Thanks!

9:44 sounds like the beginning of Roundabout by Yes
yes.
Yes.
YES.
YES!!
Great insight I ended up downloaded pigments last night, very impressed by it 👍
I love these videos. Thank you, Andrew. ❤️🧸❤️
what do you think of the op-1 being temporarily discontinued
You should try making an entire song with one sound
I think he did that with donald trumps sniff
czcams.com/video/sSE3obVArLI/video.html
its been done a million times mate
I think aphex twin did that
this is gold andrew. please make more like this
always learn a lot from your channel. thank you and cheers.

Bro, your passion for audio is absolutely absorbing! Stellar! Keep it up! ;-)
As an SFX user curious with sound design, you made the intimidating sound interesting. The fear of something I didn't understand just became something I want to experiment with. Thank you!
0:00 Ow me ears
9:16 "kinda acidy" is how i call my sister Cassidy
Thank you for the inspiration you give.
Andrew you such a great educator, keep up great work, well done! 👊
usually i get what hes saying but this one went over my head
Jesus Christ Sound design is one of the hardest concepts to get your head around sometimes.
watch the interface & listen to the change in sound, you'll get it before understanding all the spoken info
Sound Design begins with understanding of what's going on : buy an oscilloscope if you have hardware synth or a modular, use a VST scope plugin if you're working just on your DAW. Then you need to experiment a lot (did I said "a lot" louder enough ?) with your fingers (or the mouse), your ears, and the oscilloscope. At last but not least you need a lot of talent... Andrew is very good, all seems simple when it shows things. But it's a trap :-) Having the experience and the talent of Andrew is alas something rare. But with a lot of work everyone can be better, and that's a general truth. We can't be the best in all things, but with lot of work we can all be better than at start...
I've got a plethora of ideas for you to try out for your videos, such as making music out of completely free plugins, making music using instruments played the wrong way, or using playing cards, and trying to use online DAWs for music.
LMMS
these are all amazing tricks that i'll have to try, thanks! one thing i like to do is record a sample and then chop it up and put it back together out of order.
Thank you for introducing me to my now favorite synth i use
It is my hope that one day I'll understand this video. Challenge on!
scorwitz so do you understand some of it now?
we need updates
how is it going?:)
One thing from me that's very often overlooked: Not "over-cleaning" the sound. Having somehint not super smooth is very interesting. Ear candy kind of.
thats what vacuum toobs are for
I saw pigments announced in Facebook. Arturia did a good job!
More of this please! Loved this video! Good stuff Andrew!✌️✌️👋
