Love the tutorial! Great job! the only thing is I don't know how you determined the note based on the partial people played. Would you need to memorize the frequencies of each initial note, and then determine how many times the frequency was doubled? i'm confusing myself.
That's a good question. I think it's helpful to know the first few notes of the harmonic series in at least one key like C. If you play an instrument, it's easy because most of the first partials are notes from a a major triad. The first 6 partials are (from low to high) C, C, G, C, E, and G (only 3 unique notes).
So I can tell which partial is playing because I can tell if it's a different note. So If I'm playing a C and hearing an E, I know it's the 5th/10th/20th...harmonic because those are the only harmonics where there's an E (when playing a C). I can tell it's an E because of how it resonates with a C underneath. It sounds bright and kind of happy. Then I can tell whether its the 5th, 10th or 20th harmonic based on how far up it is from the note I play.
The G is found at the 3rd, 6th, 12th...harmonics and it sounds less "colorful" and more stable and heavy sounding.
If I hear a C, I can tell the note is the same because the "color" doesn't change. Then I have to guess whether it's the fundamental, 2nd, 4th, 8th...partial based on how high above the fundamental it is.
This was a long explanation, but I hope it helps. I made a video on how to setup a guessing game with partials that's a little more reasonable in my "Ear Training for Sound Design" video: czcams.com/video/AXU9fQrD5a8/video.html
you're a great teacher eric! Best sound design series I watched so far! 🔥
Everything about the tutorial is awesome. The way you teach is clear and perfectly paced, making everything possible to be fully understood. Learning a lot with the series.
I LOVE how detailed you get when sound designing. This helps me soooooooooooooooo much. Thanks Eric!!
I'm finally starting to understand the basics of sound design, no offense to others, this is the best guide for complete beginners, can't wait to design new sounds.
i already knew a fair bit of this, but it's stuff i'd learned from dozens of videos, and then you still added more (i hadn't seen much info on how to internalize things like you do with the games/practice/identification stuff in particular); this is incredibly concise
One of the best videos on Sound Design! Your clear and concise way of explaining things is super helpful, you're an awesome teacher Eric!
Wow! Lots here. So much so, that I'll have to watch this again. Kudos to you! Thank you.
Your tutorials are top notch.
This is the best tutorial I’ve seen so far, I need more videos 😩😩
Great tutorials! Thanks so much.
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been waiting for part2 from the start of part1
Absolutely the best course of all out there. I wondered always on when in a synth preset a sound has been set to a different pitch and I'm playing a specific note on my master keyboard, then I can't be 100% sure that I'm playing that note that I wanted, right? Because it can be one octave higher or lower or also can be a bit fine pitched doesn't matter that I'm playing for example the note C3. It's crazy! :D
I was waiting for this! Just found Part 1 yesterday!
Excellent video, Eric. Even though I know (or think I know) the concepts here, it's a very practical presentation and very edu-mi-cational. Looking forward to the next one. 👍🏻👍🏻
these videos are immensely satisfying to watch, thank you - a great help!
For those who don't know, in Vital it's possible to hold SHIFT and drag transpose amount to snap to octaves.
Fantastic video on the fundamentals
Thank you for this video serie, teacher!! You made my day
Awesome, thanks for charing! Such a great teacher! ⭐️
Thanks Eric for this tutorial
Fantastic tutorial, thank you so much
Eric I've learned so much thx to you, you are amazing. thank you man, I'm gonna release my own presets soon.
Thanks a lot)
I really wait next series)
That was awesome...you teach good sir!
Are you planning on doing a series on modulation,mod maps etc...I was trying to follow allong with the how to make a brass sound...I can mimic what you do, but I don't understand it at all. Thanks though, this is really helpful and appreciated!
My later preset tutorials explain a little more of the "why" behind my decisions. This video covers the types of modulators. Subsequent videos in the series discuss the types of parameters you may want to modulate and why. Which modulators you use and how much modulation depends on the situation.
As far as the mod map goes, it's a little hard to explain without an example. Let's say you're modulating filter cutoff with the mod wheel. In the mod remap, the x-axis represents mod wheel position and the y-axis represents filter-cutoff. You can change the shape so that the mod wheel doesn't simply modulate the filter cutoff in a linear way. I demonstrate this in my modular transitions video, where I use a square wave to turn the mod wheel into a switch: czcams.com/video/qkrlgC6Xyro/video.html
Pretty soon I'm going to make a Vital vs. Serum video where I go more in depth on the possibilities of mod remap since it's one of Vital's best features IMO.
I would love to see you making the Moog bass sound from 24k magic Bruno Mars thx for the great content
love this video and this series! been following you since you helped create the taylor swift 1989 "clean" bass i asked for help with on reddit and you've been an incredible educator for me since. at around 22:30 you recommend memorising the first 8 - 16 harmonics by heart eventually, i was wondering if you had any tips on how to remember them, from looking up the harmonic series it seems a bit more intermediate in terms of knowledge than i think i have.
thank you for the incredible content you produce!
edit: so watching that second exercise it seems each subsequent harmonic up to 8 at least is just a note above the other? looking up the harmonic series on google seems to show that each subsequent harmonic has a pattern (from 1- 2 is an octave, from 2 - 3 its a perfect fifth, from 3 - 4 its a perfect fourth etc.) perhaps im confusing two different concepts here
Thanks! You're right about the harmonic series-the intervals get smaller and smaller. If you're playing a C the first 16 harmonics are C, C, G, C, E, G, Bb, C, D, E, F#, G, Ab, Bb, B, C but not completely in tune with those notes played on a keyboard.
Sick!
First comment 🎉 can’t wait to watch this later after work
Can you do a future tutorial on sampling in Vital? Their sampler is not great but is very productive and flexible, especially for beginners.
I'll definitely mention ways of using the sampler in upcoming videos. Also my Dulcimer, HVAC Guitar tutorials both go pretty in-depth on that topic. czcams.com/video/Hz3VDVIjtFE/video.html

Amazing teacher....quick question about the challenge on hearing the harmonic series i have no idea how you did that do you mind elaborate them a little?❤
I explain it here: czcams.com/video/AXU9fQrD5a8/video.html
Try starting with just the first 2 or 3 harmonics and work up from there.
How can I use a skill gained by harmonic series ear training when sound-designing?
Because most resonant sounds and synthesized sounds are simply varying amplitudes of different harmonics. The rest are inharmonic frequencies and noise.
Can you Please recreate the wobbly bass from Move Too Slow by Cesco.
That's very similar to the Dubstep Bass tutorial I did here: czcams.com/video/qZu9kc9CkSc/video.html
Just turn up the rate of the LFO
😃👍❤️
Just curious - are you reading all of this or talking like this?
