Dude, please produce more content. Your videos are so well done. You're not just spouting out a bunch of super basic production tips, and you can actually manage to explain complex topics in a very clear way. Keep it up, man!
Agreed, I found your saturation video first and it was super helpful, though I’d also suggest moving a little slower/explaining more on some of the deeper bits towards the end
@@mr.w7803 yes, a little slower would be nice. These concepts are a bit complex, and I find myself still thinking about one thing, trying to piece it all together in my mind, and he's already off to the next bit. lol Really good content though. This is just what I need to level up my comprehension of everything I'm trying to achieve when producing/mixing. P.S. This method reminds me of boosting into compression. I've never thought about boosting into saturation. Definitely going to have to watch this one again.
@@cbrooks0905 I respect what you're saying but I'd prefer if he kept it fast! That's what the pause button is for, I feel like you can view this video like a textbook that guides your research if you truly want to learn the concepts
I really love the level of detail you put into your videos. You really are adding something to the music prod youtube game. Here's some contribution :) Please carry on! We need more people daring to say things like "Saturation and EQ don't commute".
It seems rare to come across a channel suited for learning concepts above a basic beginner level. I hope you continue making these videos! You are an excellent teacher and illustrate concepts in a clear visual and verbal way. Good job!
It is incredibly refreshing to find a channel where the presenter has an deep intimate knowledge of the topic their discussing, rather than giving surface level hype without the goods to back it up. This week alone I've seen this topic covered by Eric Valentine, Recording Lounge podcast, and now you. Each with your own unique take on the matter. You absolutely nailed it here, please please keep it up!!
For me, I forget information unless I know the why. I remember my driving instructor saying noone had ever asked so many questions. I forget all my notes and until I've watched this guy I start to "remember" very easily
It's so refreshing to see a channel that talks about the literal behavior of sound and how to manipulate it in an intelligent manner. I'm really tired of other tutorials that utilize the philosophy of "just use your ears". Like I get it, using your ears is important but I want to be informed on what exactly it is I am doing when I'm tweaking settings. That way I can make decisions based on actionable predictions and not have to be stuck in settings-tweaking-limbo banging my head, hoping, pleading that I miraculously land on some sort of useable tone that works well within my mix. Thank you for making such informative videos!
You explain everything so thoroughly and clearly! Showing how chaining together multiple saturations and eqs turn into a guitar amp really helped me understand what a difference shaping the signal can have.
This is some rare knowledge. Makes me feel smarter already! The kind of stuff most producers never find out, thanks so much! Insane production value from the start and you're still keeping it up, respect.
This information blew my mind....AND confirmed a hunch I had: That somewere there is a guitar distortion sound no one has ever heard of. Now back to listening to it again for the nth time....!
In utter disbelief at the quality of these videos. As a science-oriented musician, I appreciate the depth of your explanations. Knowing the why and the how is so important when making musical decisions. Thanks for posting (and for posting on r/edmproduction)!
I've been learning from many people over 10 years and you are my favourite, along with Dan Worral. I never expected to find anyone who is as good as him🙏🙏 hope you will be back to make more. I've finished watching all your videos
Nice to see a video by someone truly knowledgeable. Too many reviewers out there don't really understand things and they use made up words and practices based on a misunderstanding of how things work.
This channel feels like the gateway between the basic "Top 10 Tips" tutorials and the Professional Masterclasses that go over my head. Thanks for the great content, man!
Dude i just found your channel last night and was blown away by the quality of your content. Then I saw that you stopped posting on like everything and got super discouraged, very next morning you drop a new video and im so fuckin happy now
Oh My FREAKIN' God, how does a Channel THIS AWESOME fly under the Radar?!?! 🤔 I've got nuthin' but LOVE for what you are Doing here! This is AMAZING. I've Literally watched THOUSANDS of Hours of CZcams Mixing Tutorials and I wish I had found YOUR CHANNEL on my FIRST day 🤯... PLEASE Post More. There are ppl out here who are Definitely LOOKING for YOUR Content! Do you have a Patreon Account? I'm totally down to FUND more of your Insights & Explanations. Again: Thank You, man! Hopefully you are doing well during this Pandemic. And if you have any music to listen to Please Share that Info as well 😎👍
Thanks for this all-killer no-filler video. The advice about multi-stage distortion is super helpful. And we now have amazing options for those stages. I deeply love the recent improvement in digital models of analog saturation. Besides fancy math (P42 Climax, Softube stuff) i also really love Acustica’s recent saturation plugins (their tech is based on convolution). It really sounds like we’re finally getting proper analog-style saturation in the box. And i’m stoked.
The question I’ve been asking for years…. No one has ever answered me… till now. This video is a godsend. Earned a sub, and my damn loyalty ladd. Thank you incredibly much.
@@sseb_music Honestly the basic "What is saturation and How do I use it" I always got the answer, "saturation will add more harmonic distortion in areas where it didn't previously exist or perceive well." but that never fully explained how I use it. I always see big artist use the HECK out of saturation to get big and fat basses or their "Fat rack" but I never understood how to get it to sound to such a degree. But the way you explained and demonstrated here helped be MUCH better understand what saturation is doing and how to go about using it/abusing it.
@@sseb_music Actually I'm curious now. Would you be willing to do any one on one coaching? Of Course Id be willing to pay for your time but I ask as you explain this stuff in detail that's immensely helpful and my biggest want is to understand how to make basses sound fat and full. If you can help me better understand this side of sound design Id be extremely grateful.
Came back to this video after a couple days to leave this comment. Your "saturation in stages" technique really improved my sound design and has my mixes feeling much fuller. In addition, your explanations are very professional and easy to understand. I feel like I have such a better grasp of the types of saturation, and the harmonics they create. Can't believe this stuff is free, and can't wait for more videos. Well done!
If every teacher I've ever had explained things the way you do, I'd be omniscient by now. Holy shit, sseb. You're not simply conveying *knowledge*, but *UNDERSTANDING* - that elusive feeling like you "know" the subject not the way you know a word, but the way you know a close friend. Holy shit sseb.
what you did with that DI guitar was absolute madness dude. That was very impressed. This video ties in nicely with the Jim Lill video on guitar amps too!
Very good video, very helpful. It's amazing what a little EQ before a saturation can do. And this maybe explains why engineers really preferred analog EQ (and analog everything) in, especially, the early days of digital audio. Of course, many engineers still prefer analog everything.... I've discovered just by trial and error that multiple stages of saturation seems to work "better" in most situations; now I have a good way of understanding why that might be. Choosing the best combination of saturation types is still ad hoc for me though.
I love that track! My only complaint is I wish you had just took a minute to sum up how to actually apply this theory the next time we're making a song. It's great to now the theory side, but I think it's more useful when we use something practically and learn by doing. It's come more naturally to me, as opposed to front loading the theory and then trying to let that influence my creative process. Anyway, great video!
Holy crap man! This a such a detailed and complete look at what saturation actually is and what it's actually doing. I've been watching a lot of videos on saturation recently and I've definitely been understanding the fundamentals of how to use it and in what contexts, but this video truly opened my eyes to the depth of what is really going on. Thanks for taking the time to make this and for pulling back the curtain for us newbies!
EQ is EVERYTHING. The reason we can tell a hihat from a kick or a snare is mostly harmonic content, their stamp on the spectrum (of course duration of the sounds and how their harmonics decay is also key, but it's just the same thing, but over time)
Simpler way to say all of this: saturation plugins have a threshold & the more dynamic louder frequencies in a signal are whats hitting the threshold first thus distorting first & more than the other frequencies as they come in later as you continue to raise the signal into the threshold. The interesting & mystical part of all this is how doing this adds harmonics & thus adds harmonic volume w/o raising the dynamic volume.
dude!! you’re literally the most in detail teacher ive ever found on youtube or anywhere else you really do a great job at creating a really cohesive lesson with chapters broken up in a way to help people better understand ive been learning from tons of people for years just observing and putting things into practice but ive always been looking for someone who breaks down more of the science of waveforms and harmonics not many go this deep and its extremely needed. ill be keeping up with your channel. rock on and thank you
Your videos are simply amazing... It's sad that you didn't make more! I love the way you explain, and the depth that you go - it's just the right amount!
Dude you deserve a Billion subscriptions or at least much much more. I am an overthinking person and I can't trust my ears without knowing what's going on and your videos cleared up everything...
ohmyfngsusgod, this bugged me so HARD why I can't get smooth yet well overdriven tone. You're awesome! It's a great shame you don't make vids anymore 😮💨
The ways you just described making peaks before distortion is the exact way we make kicks in the harderstyles (hardstyle, raw hardstyle, hardcore, uptempo hardcore, etc) Make a peak for the punch and a peak for the sub bass, distort and repeat until you have a ear drum blasting kick
I wanted to come back to this video and thank you again for these saturation tips it has changed the game in terms of my mixing and understanding of harmonics as well as knowledgeable information regarding the assembly of a waveform through saturation which I tried out using various methods and i applied similar tactics for when using my Roland SE-02 for hearing the sounds out of its oscillators more clearly. its something i have watched dozens of videos on and these finally sort of broke the barrier for me in terms of my comprehension in mixing its like I can hear everything now. its been 6 years of learning for me hands down best teacher yet.
I literally use no saturation or distortion plugins and try to use transparent plugins because Ik they’re easy to misuse but these couple videos finally gives me the knowledge and confidence to experiment with them
I love your content, Style, Humor and little Candys you put in your Videos! The information value ist huge and I am so thankful for your Videos! The only thing I would wish for the next videos is that you gain stage your Audio Output fron your Video. When you are talking on your Couch it's hard to understand you, but when you show something in the DAW its very loud. Nice Greetings and have a wonderful Day!
Dude this was an amazing video!!! I learnt the hard way about keeping sub/low frequencies clean. Had to score a live show and keeping the low end clean actually gave it more presence and impact. Kind of counter intuitive especially for modern producers who have to distort in order for a mix to cut through on mobile devices.
Hearing "missing fundamental" is why tube hi-fi amps (I'm speaking here more about those used for listening, not music production) have that "fat bass" sound - in fact tube amps aren't very good at amplifying high amplitude bass but because of distortion they make an impression of that bass being there.
Glad you're back man! Once again you've outlined some critical principals that are absolutely invaluable to know and I deeply appreciate the work you put into this. The notes about producing more evenly distributed distortion, balancing the resultant distortion products, executing Distortion Voicing, driving higher frequencies to produce the Missing Fundamental phenomena, and the noncommutative nature of saturation in relation to EQ are all excellent principals and I can already see how I might implement them when balancing large groups of instruments while trying to keep them all distinct from one another. Your depictions have been extremely helpful, and your general editing, sound levels, and scripting have been perfect thus far. Definitely looking forward to your next video on Saturation Curves. Just out of curiosity, what things can a Saturator commute with? Or will that be included in the next video?
Thanks for all the kind words! I appreciate it 😀 Saturators can commute with other nonlinearities. If you have nonlinearity like x^(1/2) (which is a classic looking saturation curve) and another nonlinearity x^2 (which I guess technically would be called waveshaping) those two nonlinearities commute since x^(2(1/2))=x^((1/2)2)=x so the order of the nonlinearities doesn't matter in this case. Also interestingly, the system becomes linear, so you can stack nonlinearities together and end up with something linear!!
Lots of helpful information. Aside from that the Dani California mix had too much bass. But as far as understanding saturation thank you. You explain things in waveforms and thats so helpful instead of trying to break it down into simple forms. Understanding waves is a much broader sense of music production.
Maaan, it’s such a deep knowledge that I definitely should watch your vids several times to understand it properly❤️ 🧠 👂 So sad that English is not my native language
